Cangwu directly blocked Yue Qi's path, his eyes revealing a hint of hostility.
Yue Qi instantly felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by some prehistoric beast.
This was the first time he had ever faced Cangwu so directly; he had never felt this way even with his senior brother, Jian Chen.
"Cangwu, I'm here to deliver medicine to Senior Brother Lu. Why are you stopping me?" Yue Qi asked, somewhat displeased.
Among the outer disciples, apart from Jian Chen, no one dared to treat him like this.
But Yue Qi also learned that Cang Wu was a man envied by the heavens, single-minded, and incredibly powerful, so he could only force a smile.
"I said, no entry, no entry!" Cangwu managed to utter a few words with all his might.
Just then, Little Deer came out, glanced at Yue Qi, and whispered to Cang Wu, "Cang Wu, listen to me, let him in."
Cangwu's brows furrowed into a deep frown. He sensed the evil aura emanating from Yue Qi. Those who are envied by Heaven are the purest in heart, which makes them better able to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, good and evil.
But now that Little Deer is going to let him in, Cangwu doesn't understand and is anxiously pacing around.
He already had difficulty speaking, and now that he was anxious, he couldn't utter a single word.
After hearing this, Yue Qi didn't give Cang Wu a chance to react and quickly carried the medicine to Lu Li's room.
When he entered the room, he saw Lu Li lying motionless on the bed.
"Senior brother? I've come to bring you medicine, senior brother?"
Yue Qi called out softly a few times, only to find that Lu Li was still lying there motionless.
He put down the medicine in his hand and carefully walked to Lu Li's bedside, only to see that Lu Li's face was pale and his breath was faint, clearly a sign that he was about to die!
"Senior brother? Senior brother?"
Yue Qi called out several more times, but there was still no response. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face.
Have you seen enough?
The little deer's voice suddenly came from behind Yue Qi, startling her so much that she trembled.
He awkwardly touched his nose and asked, "How did Senior Brother Lu become like this? He was perfectly fine yesterday."
"It turned out like this after I came back from Jian Chen yesterday, but that old ghost doesn't believe Jian Chen did it. Damn it!"
Seeing Xiao Lu'er's gritted teeth, Yue Qi was overjoyed. Among the strongest fighters in Yunmeng Mountain, besides Cang Wu, there were Jian Chen, Xiao Lu'er, and the newly arrived Wei Zhuang.
Wei Zhuang was new to the area and had no established foundation. Jian Chen had also made it clear that he would support Wei Zhuang's succession as Guiguzi as long as Lu Li died.
The little deer in front of us is Lu Li's sister. If we could get her to fight Jian Chen to the death, that would be the best outcome.
“Senior Brother Jian Chen has always acted independently, but he is also upright and honest, so it shouldn’t be him,” Yue Qi said.
To everyone's surprise, Little Deer sneered and walked towards Yue Qi step by step.
"Brother Lu is in trouble. Only he is qualified to succeed Guiguzi! So tell me, who else could it be but him?"
As the little deer drew closer and closer, its aura growing stronger and stronger, Yue Qi even forgot to breathe.
Once upon a time, when they first met, he had scared Little Deer so much that she hid behind Lu Li. Now, the tables have turned, and he has actually started to be afraid of Little Deer.
"I...I'm just stating a fact, Senior Brother Jian Chen..."
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp sword was placed against his shoulder.
"Speak up? Why aren't you saying anything?"
The killing intent emanating from Xiao Lu'er grew stronger, and the temperature in the entire room seemed to drop. Yue Qi swallowed hard, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.
Seeing Yue Qi's appearance, Xiao Lu'er snorted coldly, muttered "useless," and put her sword away.
"Brother Lu can't take the medicine, so please take it back."
Yue Qi hurriedly nodded and bowed, picked up the medicine and staggered out, but as soon as he reached the door, Cang Wu blocked his way.
"Cangwu, let him go." Little Deer waved her hand, signaling Cangwu to move aside.
Yue Qi felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly left the place.
He never expected that Little Deer and Cangwu could exert such immense pressure on him; it was the feeling of death.
After Yue Qi left, Lu Li slowly opened his eyes, and his complexion gradually regained its rosy hue.
“Brother Lu, you know what, Wei Zhuang’s unorthodox methods are really impressive. Even I can’t see a single flaw in them.”
The reason Lu Li looked like he was about to die was entirely Wei Zhuang's doing.
"The bait has been cast, now it's just a matter of whether the fish will bite."
Lu Li's feelings were complicated. He really hoped that this person was not Yue Qi, but now it seemed that it was almost certain.
However, Yue Qi was very cautious this month and did not make any rash moves. Even the medicine in that bowl was just a normal tonic.
"Brother Lu, aren't you alerting the enemy by doing this? Will he still take the bait?" Little Deer asked, somewhat puzzled.
To everyone's surprise, Lu Li shook his head. If you're going to put on an act, you have to do it properly and make it flawless.
"Yue Qi is a man of some wisdom, but he uses it all for crooked and evil purposes."
"If Cangwu hadn't blocked his way, and he had been able to enter smoothly, that would have made him suspicious."
Because Cangwu is uncontrollable, the entire Yunmeng Mountain now knows how powerful he is, and for Lu Li's sake, he killed more than twenty assassins.
Cangwu is also mentally challenged; if Lu Li were alright, Cangwu wouldn't have been guarding Lu Li's door like this for so long.
Because Lu Li never told Cang Wu, Cang Wu had no idea that Lu Li was faking it; he always thought that Lu Li was really failing.
"So what should we do next?" Little Deer asked.
Lu Li sighed, looked at the moon in the sky, and paced back and forth in the room, seemingly deep in thought.
He then slowly said, "In a couple of days, go and have a fight with your senior brother."
Upon hearing Lu Li's words, Little Deer's eyes lit up.
Although she knew it was all an act, she still loved sparring with Jian Chen the most.
Only by fighting Jian Chen can her martial arts skills improve rapidly. However, Xiao Lu'er has recently reached a bottleneck because she has not experienced a life-or-death battle and has not comprehended the way of the sword.
Every swordsman has his own way of the sword; it's just that she hasn't clearly defined her own way of the sword yet.
"Since you insist on making the performance convincing, then I won't hold back!"
Seeing the little deer's appearance, Lu Li shook his head helplessly. Ever since this little girl's martial arts skills have become higher and higher, her fighting spirit has also grown stronger.
Now her swordsmanship has reached a certain level of proficiency. In any case, Lu Li can't beat her. Even if he learns Jian Chen's unpredictable swordsmanship, he is still no match for Xiao Lu'er.
In terms of martial arts skills, he was indeed inferior to Xiao Lu'er.
"Yes, but please be careful."
He wasn't worried about Jian Chen, after all, Little Deer couldn't hurt Jian Chen at all. In the entire Yunmeng Mountain, apart from Cangwu, no one was Jian Chen's match.
"Don't worry, Brother Lu!"
