Chapter 16: Laying Out the Mole



He came to the outer courtyard to send a signal to Yue Qi.

Let him panic first; people are more likely to make mistakes when they are panicked.

Then, when the time comes, implementing his plan will be much easier and more effective.

Lu Li took a deep breath. Deep down, he didn't want Yue Qi to be involved in this matter.

After all, he had been by Guiguzi's side since childhood. If it really was him, what would Guiguzi do?

"Yue Qi, I hope it's not you, otherwise, I won't hold back," Lu Li murmured.

The next day, news came from the inner courtyard that Guiguzi had taken Cangwu down the mountain to the medical school.

According to the message relayed by Xiao Lu'er, Lu Li suddenly fell seriously ill after returning home last night and is now on the verge of death.

At this moment, all the disciples of the outer court were shocked. They had seen Lu Li perfectly fine yesterday, so how could he be in such a state overnight?

Yesterday, he personally witnessed Lu Li appearing in the outer courtyard full of energy. How could he be so weak after just one night?

"Is this a trap?" Yue Qi asked himself.

But Guiguzi had already gone down the mountain, and judging from his master's expression, it didn't seem fake. Moreover, before leaving, he entrusted all the affairs of the sect to him and Jian Chen.

Thinking of this, Yue Qi couldn't sit still any longer. In the middle of the night, he quietly got up and went to Jian Chen's room.

"Senior Brother, I have something to discuss with you."
