"Bang!"
Li Hengsheng reached out and grabbed Lord Zhou by the collar, slamming him against the stone behind.
"Third Senior Brother, are you playing ?"
Li Hengsheng completely didn’t believe the na Lord Zhou ntioned.
"Think what you will." Lord Zhou said with a smile, "I’ve told you the na, whether or not you believe it is up to you."
"Fourth Bro." Lord Zhou suddenly said earnestly, "Being loyal and righteous is your strength, but being indecisive and impulsive is your weakness. In this Cangyuan Realm, naive people can’t survive because everyone is good at disguise, and failing to see through others’ disguises ans you’ll suffer being deceived."
"Don’t underestimate the Longevity Sect, and don’t underestimate human ambition. When people have ambition, they can often be more terrifying than ghosts." Lord Zhou laughed, "It’s all a ga, and who knows when this ga began. You and I are just pieces. You must keep climbing, keep climbing, to have even a sliver of hope to beco the one playing the ga."
"I still don’t believe it." Li Hengsheng said through gritted teeth.
Lord Zhou quietly looked into Li Hengsheng’s eyes, not continuing to speak, because he saw the wavering in Li Hengsheng’s gaze.
"Fourth Bro, co here." Lord Zhou beckoned with his hand.
Li Hengsheng furrowed his brows and leaned in, while Lord Zhou whispered a few more words into his ear.
Yang Tiantian didn’t know what Lord Zhou was saying to Li Hengsheng at this mont, but she could sense that Li Hengsheng’s face was turning sowhat pale.
It seed as though, after Lord Zhou ntioned the second na of the blood leaf, Li Hengsheng’s ntality had collapsed.
What exactly were they talking about?
Yang Tiantian was just about to step forward to listen, but just then, Lord Zhou had already finished speaking.
Li Hengsheng stepped back two steps, his face extrely grave.
"Fourth Bro, take care of yourself. This is all I can tell you." Lord Zhou closed his eyes, seemingly awaiting judgnt.
"Fourth Junior Brother." Yang Tiantian ca to Li Hengsheng’s side and asked, "Who is the other one?"
Li Hengsheng turned his head to look at Yang Tiantian, and then said, "No one, there is no second person, he just fooled ."
When these words ca out, not even a ghost would believe it.
Yang Tiantian was stunned as well.
Li Hengsheng was actually hiding the second person.
Who could be the one that Li Hengsheng was helping to hide?
But since Li Hengsheng didn’t speak, Yang Tiantian didn’t continue to ask, instead she turned to look at Lord Zhou, walking up to him.
"Lord Zhou, we are fellow disciples, I don’t want to be too harsh on you. I won’t send you to Law Enforcent Peak, I’ll hand you over to the master, you have no objections, right?" Yang Tiantian’s voice was icy as she spoke.
"No objections." Lord Zhou shook his head.
If sent to Law Enforcent Peak, Lord Zhou would surely rather die. Wu Wenying of Law Enforcent Peak is notorious for being unfeeling. With the endless thods of Law Enforcent Peak, most people can’t endure it, and shedding a layer of skin is the least of it.
But if brought to Xu Muhai, Xu Muhai might consider their forr ntor-student relationship and give him a swift end.
Yang Tiantian was just about to act, but she heard Li Hengsheng say from behind, "Senior Sister."
"Hmm?" Yang Tiantian turned back to look at Li Hengsheng.
Li Hengsheng stared at Lord Zhou, who slowly opened his eyes. At this mont, Li Hengsheng suddenly said, "Let him go."
"What did you say?" Yang Tiantian was taken aback upon hearing this.
Even Lord Zhou showed a hint of surprise.
"Senior Sister, do a favor, let him go." Li Hengsheng’s expression was sowhat hollow as he spoke.
"Do you know what you’re saying?" Yang Tiantian frowned, "He’s the blood leaf, a mber of the Longevity Sect, soone who wanted to kill you, and you’re letting him go? Are you crazy? Letting him go is like letting a tiger loose—it gives him endless opportunities to kill you later."
"Senior Sister, consider it a request from this ti." Li Hengsheng said quietly.
Seeing Li Hengsheng’s deanor, Yang Tiantian was practically rendered speechless with anger.
If it were before, Yang Tiantian wouldn’t have cared about what Li Hengsheng said, but now it was different. She owed the Li family a huge favor.
Not on behalf of Li Hengsheng but on behalf of Li Changqing, Yang Tiantian couldn’t refuse Li Hengsheng at this mont.
"Fourth Junior Brother, you must think this through." Yang Tiantian’s voice lowered.
"Yes." Li Hengsheng said decisively, "I’ll explain to the master, and I hope you’ll show rcy."
"Since you’ve decided, I won’t intervene." Yang Tiantian left in a huff.
"Why did you let go?" Lord Zhou asked in surprise.
"No matter what, during the period at Dao Mountain Ancient Land, you, Third Senior Brother, took care of and gave hope and warmth." Li Hengsheng said slowly.
"Fourth Bro, you’re being indecisive and impulsive again." Lord Zhou said coldly, "This will be your weakness, and it will harm you eventually. Did you forget everything I told you earlier?"
"The last ti."
Li Hengsheng’s gaze gradually turned icy.
"I’ll verify the second na you ntioned, and next ti if we et, I’ll kill you myself."
With that, Li Hengsheng turned and left.
"Fourth Bro."
Lord Zhou called out.
But Li Hengsheng paid him no attention.
"Take care of the purple lightning, look after it well for ."
Before he had finished speaking, Li Hengsheng’s figure had already vanished into the darkness.
Leaving Lord Zhou alone, leaning against that bluish stone, watching Li Hengsheng’s departing silhouette.
The biting cold wind grew even colder, the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves seed to mock the worldly disturbances. Lord Zhou slowly got up, glanced back at San Jun Peaks, looking at every grass and tree here.
