Chapter 487: Chapter 487: The One Who Never Commits Brutal Slaughter Isn’t Her
…It’s Li Zhi.
So much ti has passed, yet Li Zhi seems unchanged.
Indeed.
He is the only one among the seven Divine Envoys who has never touched the original sin. His faith is much steadier than theirs.
As soon as Li Zhi appeared, the two guards imdiately greeted him as “Lord Li Zhi,” and promptly made way for Lu Sheng.
As Lord Li Zhi stepped forward and gestured for Lord Chen Yin to pass, they naturally had to clear the path quickly.
Lu Sheng said nothing, simply walked toward Li Zhi.
However, Li Zhi’s gaze fell upon her bare feet, his brow slightly furrowed.
“Did you really walk all the way barefoot like this?”
When Lu Sheng reached him, Li Zhi looked down and asked.
Lu Sheng had imagined many scenarios of eting Li Zhi again, the first words he might say to her.
But she hadn’t expected Li Zhi’s first words to be asking whether she walked here barefoot.
Though hundreds of years had passed, Li Zhi’s tone made it seem as if she had never left.
As if she… had never committed those terrifying acts of slaughter.
“Yes.” Lu Sheng lowered her eyes, nodding slightly.
Her Primordial Spirit had returned, her Divine Soul healed; only then in the Divine Realm did she regain her original form. It’s just what she was wearing… During the last great battle, she indeed was only in her nightgown.
Thinking of the past, Lu Sheng felt herself montarily dazed.
When she ca to her senses, she saw Li Zhi turning his back to her, naturally squatting down in front of her, speaking softly: “The ground is cold, I’ll carry you back.”
Though such scenes had happened countless tis before, Lu Sheng instinctively stepped back.
She was the sinner of the Six Realms, once the demon of bloody massacres, bearing innurable heavy sins.
Even if she was alive again, how could she deserve to be treated like before by such a good person as Li Zhi?
“What, not used to it?”
Li Zhi didn’t stand up, his voice still gentle, “When you were little, you loved to run around barefoot, every ti I found you it would be like this, carrying you back.”
…When she was little.
Lu Sheng’s nose suddenly stung.
All seven of them were Father’s children, but the order of birth differed.
Li Zhi was born first, nearly a hundred years before her. Then Ling Yue, Ning Yu, Tan Yuan followed. Next were Yu Si and Wu Mian, and she was the last to be born.
So, from childhood, Li Zhi was the most mature among the seven of them.
Though lacking any human-like blood relation, Li Zhi always treated her as his youngest sister, sheltering and adoring.
But she didn’t understand feelings before, or was cold-hearted. Growing up, she overlooked Li Zhi’s care, indifferent to others, allowing no one close.
As Li Zhi insisted on carrying her upstairs, Lu Sheng no longer resisted.
Lying on Li Zhi’s back, feeling him steadily carrying her. For Lu Sheng, this sensation was both familiar and strange.
In the eleven years spent in the Human Realm, she lived as soone else. Apart from Li Muchen, all her connections with others were based on Bai Qiang or Lu Sheng’s identity.
But now it’s different… Li Zhi is her real brother, Chen Yin’s brother.
“Not much has changed in the Divine Realm during the ti you were away.”
Riding the elevator up, Li Zhi spoke lightly, introducing it to Lu Sheng.
“Ever since I took charge of the Divine Realm, I’ve rarely left the Light Temple.”
“Due to identity reasons, apart from us few, no one can speak to Ling Yue in the Divine Realm, so she often feels lonely.”
“However, now, I’m the only one who can talk to her.”
“Wu Mian started sleeping a long ti ago, probably over a hundred years after you left.”
“After you left, he never made another healthy dieting al. To prevent gluttony, he simply decided to keep sleeping and not wake up.”
“Yu Si has always been restless, but after you left, he too beca more and more idle.”
“So ti ago, he moved his bed to your floor, claiming he would sleep with Wu Mian first for a hundred years.”
Li Zhi chuckled softly, “Clearly Yu Si is older than you, yet seems less mature.”
…
All the way to the bedchambers, Li Zhi told Lu Sheng nurous scattered stories about happenings in the Divine Realm over the past four hundred years.
Until later Lu Sheng interrupted him, asking the question she wanted most to ask: “Li Zhi, you know what I want to ask the most. Tan Yuan, he…”
At her words, Li Zhi paused as he was bending down to put slippers on for Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng knew that Li Zhi was deliberately avoiding ntioning Tan Yuan’s na.
Now, though she had recovered her mories, she only rembered at that mont when Father struck at her, it was Tan Yuan who shielded her.
After that, she lost consciousness.
That blow from Father would have shattered her Divine Soul and Primordial Spirit. Tan Yuan intercepted it for her, does that an Tan Yuan is already…
“Xiao Yin,” Li Zhi said, “you should know, this ti it was Father who let you return, right?”
Li Zhi squatted down, gently helping Lu Sheng into socks and slippers.
“After seeing us, go see Father, I believe Father will tell you everything.”
Lu Sheng remained silent.
After a mont, she raised her head, her red eyes shimring: “Brother, have you always known, what kind of life I lived in the Human Realm?”
Lu Sheng only called Li Zhi like that when she was little. But now saying it, it felt quite natural.
“Not just the Human Realm,” Li Zhi lowered his head, stroked Lu Sheng’s hair, speaking in a low voice, “Xiao Yin, I have always been watching over you.”
“I’m very happy, to see how much you’ve changed. If you didn’t co back this ti by yourself, I would never have disturbed you.”
“Because… if possible, I hope you will never rember those mories from the past.”
Li Zhi’s gentle voice carried a hint of unknown sorrow and sighs.
Because seeing the change in the girl before him, he knew that from the mont her mories returned, she might very well bear the heaviest shackles of sin until her death.
Yet in this world, only he knew that the one who committed those bloody massacres worldwide was never her, his most cherished little sister.
