Wang Xu's words also relieved Lu Fusheng completely. At that time, she saw that Lu Li was about to die and her mind went blank.
Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie were not much less injured than Lu Li, but since they were both junior masters, although they suffered serious internal injuries, they could recover after a few years of recuperation.
But Lu Li was different. A normal ninth-level martial artist would have died on the spot after being hit by Mo Yun's attack.
"Ancestor... Is Brother Lu really alright?" Lu Fusheng asked, still somewhat worried.
Wang Xu quickly waved his hand and laughed, "Don't worry, this kid won't die."
As if he had discovered a new continent, he examined Lu Li's bones again, smacking his lips as he did so.
"This bone age... I can't even tell how old he is by touch."
Qu Yuan mentioned before that Lu Li seems to have existed for over a thousand years, ever since the human race began to make records of him.
Wang Xu had naturally seen those murals as well, so when he saw Lu Li, he was so excited that he couldn't calm down.
"Ancestor, when will Brother Lu be able to wake up?" Lu Fusheng continued to ask.
Guiguzi stroked his long white beard and said, "If we wait for him to recover on his own, it will take who knows how long. However, with me here, he can wake up in three years at most!"
“Uh…” Lu Fusheng was somewhat speechless.
He didn't say that when he was discussing it with Ying Zheng; he completely fooled Ying Zheng.
"Then why did our ancestor speak to the emperor in that way?" Lu Fusheng asked, puzzled.
Wang Xu, however, glared and said, "I am a member of the Guigu School. Zhang Yi once served the Qin state, and Su Qin's alliance against Qin failed. Now, Lu Li is helping Qin unify the world!"
"How come all the people of Guigu have some connection with the Qin state? I just don't like the Qin state."
Wang Xu's words left Lu Fusheng speechless. This... this is really the famous first-generation Guiguzi Wang Xu?
Her personality is so unconventional; it's completely different from what's been said about her.
"Cough cough..." Wang Xu coughed twice.
He realized that his reaction had been a bit too strong, so he immediately changed the subject, saying, "Lu Li needs some peace and quiet right now. Once those two kids wake up, don't let them bother us."
After Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang woke up, Lu Fusheng told them that Lu Li was still alive, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Lu Li could not be disturbed at the moment, and the two of them needed a long time to heal their internal injuries, so they left Ghost Valley directly.
Wei Zhuang never returned to Xianyang, and no one knew where he went. Gai Nie, on the other hand, returned to that dilapidated little village and continued to live in seclusion.
Everything seemed to be back on track.
Xu Fu, meanwhile, returned to the Qin state!
"Your Majesty! I have been traveling east for over a year, but I have not yet seen any immortals!"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng was immediately disappointed.
When he learned that Xu Fu had returned, he was extremely excited, but when he heard that Xu Fu had not found the immortal, his joy vanished instantly.
"Am I destined not to live forever?" Ying Zheng smiled bitterly, his face somewhat haggard.
He looked much older, with white hair sprouting on his head.
The changes this year were enormous; so many things happened in just one year.
Adding to his worries was Lu Li's situation, which made him even more anxious and caused his health to deteriorate further.
"Your Majesty, do not be discouraged. There must be a way. I will do my best to find it!" Xu Fu comforted him.
"Alright, you may leave." Ying Zheng shook his head, signaling Xu Fu to step down.
"Yes!" Xu Fu bowed respectfully and slowly left the main hall.
Xu Fu bowed his head and left the main hall, but he did not go far. Instead, he stood outside the hall, looking up at the lofty Ying Zheng, his eyes flashing with an unusual light.
He happened to make eye contact with Zhao Gao, and this time Xu Fu was not wearing a veil!
When Zhao Gao saw Xu Fu's face, his eyes widened instantly, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
"Yue...Yueqi!"
Zhao Gao was so shocked that he could barely speak. His finger trembled as he pointed at Xu Fu, trying to shout something, but it was as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound.
Xu Fu smiled coldly and walked towards the palace gate. As he left, he casually uttered a sentence.
"You guessed right, I really am Yue Qi!"
Zhao Gao's pupils contracted, and he collapsed to the ground, his eyes fixed on the direction Xu Fu had gone.
Yue Qi, Xu Fu is Yue Qi? He...wasn't he already dead?
Zhao Gao remembered it clearly. Back then, he was a child under ten years old. He witnessed Yue Qi's suicide. The dagger was stuck in his chest, and blood was flowing all over the ground.
But why is he here?
Zhao Gao was terrified, unable to believe what he was seeing.
"He's not dead...he's not dead at all!"
Zhao Gao suddenly got up from the ground and shouted wildly, but no one heard him. He was left alone outside the hall, roaring incessantly.
........
Ying Zheng sat on his desk, his fingers gripping a vermilion brush as he reviewed memorials, his expression somewhat blank.
At this moment, a palace attendant rushed into the main hall and knelt down in front of Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister requests an audience!"
Ying Zheng put down the vermilion brush, rubbed his sore neck, and sighed softly, saying, "Summon."
