After Lu Xiao and others returned to the shore, they called Shen Muxin and Li Mubai and hurried back to the hotel. Although Xiaoxiang said he would come over in the evening, the current situation is becoming more and more confusing. Some things must be investigated as soon as possible. .
When we returned to the hotel, it was almost noon. Everyone gathered in Zhui Ri's room and began to discuss the next step.
Xiao Tan adjusted his emotions and told in detail how Ju You was seriously injured and escaped to the underwater palace, asking himself to protect Qing Shui and waiting for an opportunity to hand it over to Lu Xiao. He also emphasized that there was a traitor within the Zhi clan, and Ju You You Jing Xiaotan must remind Lu Xiao not to believe anyone else except him and Xiao Tan. No matter how familiar or intimate the other person was.
Lu Xiao nodded thoughtfully, seeming to have an answer in his heart, but he couldn't fully accept it for a while.
Seeing this, Xiaotan pulled out a hosta from her bun, held it in her hand, and instantly turned it into an exquisite jade bottle, which she handed to Lu Xiao.
——"What is inside is pure water! Although the bottle is not big, as long as you drop a drop into the basin, the water inside will have the spiritual power to purify everything and wash away all dirt and toxins."
Lu Xiao took the jade bottle and held it in his hand without saying a word. He never expected that he would be able to find clean water so quickly, nor did he expect that it would cause so many things. He did not feel relaxed or happy at all now, but felt heavy in his heart. .After all, Juyou's life and death are uncertain now, and the Zhi tribe is also in chaos. Who is pretending to be him? Why does Juyou want Xiaotan to give him the clean water? How does he know that he will definitely come?
The most important thing is, why did Xiaoxiang, the woman who once made him feel most distressed and pitiful, choose to betray Juyou. What was the purpose of the agreement that night? Bring someone to strangle all of his group, or continue? Deceiving himself and having other motives? Lu Xiao couldn't guess it for a while. Now he could only stop quietly and watch Xiaoxiang's actions at night before making the next arrangement.
With a helpless sigh, Lu Xiao handed the jade bottle in his hand to Zhui Ri, and there was no doubt about the arrangement: "Then please ask Brother Tao to make a trip in person and bring this bottle of purified water back to Pingle Kingdom to relieve the poisoning as soon as possible. Human suffering. Yazui, you should go with us in case something unexpected happens on the way."
Zhui Ri took the bottle and put it away carefully. He knew that Lu Xiao did this just in case, and after going through so many twists and turns, he did not dare to trust him now, so he did not refuse the arrangement of escorting Yajuan all the way. , just asked slightly surprised: "Aren't you going back together?"
——"No, I still have to rescue Juyou and quell the civil strife of the Zhiding tribe. Moreover, I have an important date tonight! This may be the key to eliminating all mysteries."
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Lu Xiao's face, which made everyone feel scared. That charming and cold smile, like the god of death, seemed to be announcing the end of a life.
Meng Zirou knew that in this man's heart, the most intolerable thing was deception and betrayal. Especially the women he had favored, every one of them would receive unparalleled love and care.
Even Han Ji, despite all kinds of provocations and troubles, Lu Xiao did not kill her. Not only because of her special status, but the most important thing is that the two people have been in love with each other for a long time. If If it weren't for Meng Zirou's sudden appearance, I'm afraid Lu Xiao would have been impulsive and marry her directly. If that were the case, Han Ji would not have secretly arranged a secret affair with the Demon Lord and turned into the second lady she is today.
But now, Xiaoxiang actually openly deceived Lu Xiao and attacked his friends. How could Lu Xiao leave such a woman in the world?
Zhui Ri saw that Lu Xiao indeed had something to do, so he didn't want to say anything more. After getting up and saying goodbye to everyone, he left with Ya Sui. Such a free and easy man, no matter where he goes, is always alone, coming and going. There are no ties, which is enviable.
After Zhui Ri and Yaizhen left, Lu Xiao pondered for a while, and went downstairs with a few people to have a simple lunch, then asked Chi Lian to take Shen Muxin, Xiaotan, and Li Mubai, who was seriously injured, to find another hotel to stay. In case something unexpected happened at night, the four of them would become a burden. Then they checked out the extra room and waited quietly for nightfall with Meng Zirou.
Unexpectedly, just over an hour later, a clear knock on the door suddenly came from outside the house. Lu Xiao stood up suddenly, signaled Meng Zirou to be silent, walked to the door in a few steps, and asked warily: "Who is it?"
"Mr. Lu, it's me!" A familiar voice responded guiltily. He opened the door, only to see Chi Lian standing awkwardly at the door, his shy face flushed, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Why are you back?" Meng Zirou quickly came to the door, pulled Chi Lian into the room, and asked: "Where are they? What happened?"
"No! I settled them down. I was afraid that something might happen to the young master, so I rushed back to protect the young master!" After saying that, Chi Lian's face turned even redder. In fact, he knew very well that with Meng Zirou's cultivation, If something really happens, I'm afraid I can only be protected by her.
In the morning, when Meng Zirou drove the Chi Lian sword to stab the faceless man, Chi Lian had already sensed that she was in danger, so he rushed over quickly with Zhui Ri and Ya Zhui. Otherwise, the three of them might not come back when Lu Xiao summoned Ya Zhui. Li Mubai had been killed by the faceless man a long time ago.
The situation is now in a fog. Chi Lian is unwilling to separate from Meng Zirou, so he violates Lu Xiao's arrangement for the first time and runs back without authorization. Even if he cannot protect Meng Zirou from the wind and rain like Lu Xiao, in times of crisis, At least he can be her human shield like Li Mubai. Even if he loses his life for this, he will be happy to do so.
"Since you're back, let's stay!" Lu Xiao said helplessly. Of course he knew Chi Lian's mood, and he also knew that even if he was sent back, he would secretly hide nearby, waiting for an opportunity to protect Meng Zirou. Instead of doing that , it is better to let him stay in an upright manner. After all, as the Great Protector and the Third Protector of the Demon Realm, coming out without any followers would arouse Xiaoxiang's suspicion.
Chi Lian nodded repeatedly and looked at Meng Zirou overjoyed. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say. The latter patted his shoulder like a sister and didn't say much. He just asked about the situation of the other people with concern. Listening to Chi Lian The training arrangements are extremely well organized, so I feel relieved.
Lu Xiao looked at this scene miserably, feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart. He naturally knew that the relationship between Meng Zirou and Chi Lian was "the King Xiang has feelings, but the goddess has no intention." Even if Li Mubai risked his life to save her in the morning, Meng Zirou would not be easily tempted. .But after all, my woman is always thought about by other men, and she always feels uncomfortable. What's more, one of these two guys is her follower in the previous life, and the other is her husband in this life. They both have deep feelings for her, and they can't help it. Do not regard it as a "strong enemy".
Although he was full of confidence, thinking about all the ridiculous things he had done in the past, he might have pissed off Meng Zirou one day. When the time came, he might just pick one of these two guys to marry.
It seems that he should hurry up and prepare the gift and propose to her as soon as possible! But now many things are not ready, what should I do? Lu Xiao shook his head and sighed helplessly.
Meng Zirou looked at him sighing in a funny way, and asked teasingly: "Lu Xiao, do you want to eat pig's feet?"
--"Huh? What does that mean?"
——"Why are you biting your fingers too?"
Only then did Lu Xiao notice that he actually put his finger into his mouth and bit it subconsciously. Then he stood up straight and looked at the master and servant who were laughing together with some embarrassment, cursing in his heart.
