"Lu Yi!?"
Chen Shi's eyes widened in disbelief.
At first, he thought Lu Yi was a master at the Perfected Innate Realm, but now it seed he had greatly underestimated him.
To walk out of the Cursed Land with the mysterious middle-aged man, chatting and laughing, he was likely not a simple character.
However, if the Song family had Lu Yi as a patron, why didn't Li Pao ntion him sixty years later during the family's annihilation?
He only ntioned two Heaven-Human Ancestors of the Song family ascending to confront the enemy.
Could it be that Lu Yi wasn't at the mansion at that ti?
Or did he flee?
Or perhaps he stood by and watched the Song family perish?
"The mysterious middle-aged man clearly has ties with the Song family. During the seventh simulation, when the Song family faced a crisis of annihilation, he should have had the ability to help, yet he didn't act. So, Lu Yi standing by while the Song family was destroyed... seems plausible?"
Chen Shi murmured.
With doubts in mind, he continued to read.
[Upon hearing that the elderly man before you is Lu Yi.]
[You are taken aback.]
[Strictly speaking, this is your first ti eting Lu Yi.]
[Because the mories in your mind are peculiar, without images, only a text-like description, very vague. If it weren't for the familiar feeling from the middle-aged man, you probably wouldn't recognize him.]
[According to the tiline, your first encounter with Lu Yi is three months later.]
[That's when he would return to the Song mansion.]
[To teach at the Alpha Battalion.]
[It's February 26th now, just a few days before Lu Yi returns, and this elderly man has just co out of the Cursed Land... the tilines overlap, so it's no surprise that this elderly man is Lu Yi.]
["More than ten years ago, I left the Song mansion and taught martial arts to Cheng Gan for several months. His appearance is vivid in my mind: thick eyebrows, big eyes, ordinary looks, definitely not like you with your delicate skin and pretty-boy deanor."]
[Lu Yi gazed at you and spoke slowly.]
[The mysterious middle-aged man restrained his smile, squinted his eyes, and stared at you without speaking.]
[The atmosphere was sowhat murderous.]
[Cold sweat dripped down your body.]
[The origins of these two people are extraordinary. If you can't provide a reasonable explanation, it would imply impure motives. Moreover, you've been loitering around the village these days, making you conspicuous. With a little inquiry, they could deduce that you've been deliberately waiting here.]
[Such behavior.]
[Would undoubtedly touch their sensitive nerves.]
[Causing you to lose your life.]
[After all, the mysterious middle-aged man clearly has so connection with the Song family but has always kept his distance, unwilling to reveal his identity, indicating he cares about this.]
[And you, being able to know twenty days in advance that they would appear in the village, even using this "familiar feeling" to disguise yourself as a Song family disciple to approach them, such ulterior motives would undoubtedly arouse suspicion, possibly leading to a Soul Search.]
[Even with the old maid outside, it might be of no avail.]
[You know too much.]
[Realizing this, you don't hesitate any longer and respectfully say, "So it's Master Lu before . It's been more than ten years since we last t. Please forgive Cheng Gan's poor eyesight for not recognizing my ntor imdiately. However, Master Lu's teachings from the past remain vivid in my heart, and not a day goes by without rembering them."]
[Then, you kowtow, knocking your head on the ground several tis.]
[Thud, thud, thud—]
[Lu Yi remained unmoved, only asking if you still rembered the martial arts he taught you.]
[You assured him you never dared to forget.]
[Lu Yi, expressionless, asked which ones you rembered.]
[You steeled your heart.]
[Claiming to have mastered the Heaven and Earth Sword Slash.]
[For the first ti, Lu Yi's expression showed a ripple, and he nodded slightly, "Indeed, I taught this martial art at the Martial Practice Field back then. However, among the Song family's direct descendants, none could grasp its essence. Even that highly perceptive little girl from back then gained nothing, and Cheng Gan's Sword Dao talent..."]
[A surge of Sword Intent erupted from you...]
[Lu Yi's eyes widened instantly.]
[For a long mont.]
[He scrutinized you with a suspicious gaze.]
[Finally.]
[He didn't question your identity further.]
[The mysterious middle-aged man once again wore a faint smile.]
[The murderous atmosphere eased.]
[You breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking you had gambled correctly.]
[Next, Lu Yi advised you to leave this place.]
[He remarked that, being so young and having mastered the Heaven and Earth Sword Slash, with the potential of Golden Bones, your future was limitless, and there was no need to take risks here... At the end, he looked at you aningfully, saying that the future of hundreds of thousands of Song family disciples in Liangzhou might one day rest on your shoulders...]
Old Lu's tone is a bit off...
In the past.
Chen Shi would have taken these words as Lu Yi's praise and encouragent.
But ever since experiencing the seventh simulation and learning of the Song family's annihilation, he felt sothing was amiss. According to the simulation's description, Lu Yi's aningful gaze seed to suggest he knew the Song family would be wiped out.
This was a bit abnormal.
In the seventh simulation, the Song family's destruction was likely directly related to the Mastermind.
But now, what's with Lu Yi's tone?

Is it a coincidence?
Was he overthinking it?
Or was it that even without him...
The Song family would still be destroyed?
Was the Mastermind just a catalyst?
[With mories of previous lives, you feel Lu Yi's words carry hidden anings.]
[You are filled with doubt.]
[You politely declined Lu Yi's offer to leave, stating you had reasons to go to the Cursed Land.]
[Lu Yi and the middle-aged man both showed surprise.]
[They asked why.]
[You explained the special nature of the Five Gates of Heaven technique.]
[Lu Yi and the middle-aged man exchanged glances.]
[Both frowned.]
[The middle-aged man stated that he was quite familiar with this technique. Given your young age, relying on life-extending spiritual items, it was plausible to open the third Vitality Gate at the outskirts of the Cursed Land, but it was impossible to open the fourth Death Gate.]
[You anticipated this question.]
[Imdiately presenting the prepared explanation.]
[Claiming you accidentally obtained an unnad bronze book, discovering it could resist Death Qi. Coincidentally, a few years ago, you found the Five Gates of Heaven technique on the second floor of the Song family's Scripture Repository. Linking it to the Death Qi of the Cursed Land, you decided to try cultivating there, finding it incredibly effective. In just three years, you opened the fourth Death Gate.]
[However, to your regret.]
[The unnad bronze book.]
[Corroded by Death Qi, beca a broken bronze piece in just three years.]
[You were unwilling to be stuck at this level for life.]
[After so inquiries, you discovered the unnad bronze book might have originated from the Cursed Land, so you stayed in the village, hoping to find similar bronze pieces...]
[Lu Yi gave you a deep look and asked, "Have you ever seen, deep within the Cursed Land... those Golden Bones?"]
