Chapter 394 - 207: Masters Behind the Game of the World (Part 5)
"Even the Longevity Sect’s layout that has been in place for hundreds of years is nothing more than a pawn in Lu Qiaoqiao’s hands..." Luo Xiaochuan said leisurely.
At these words, Li Changqing was taken aback. The one who orchestrated the Longevity Sect’s plans, was actually just a pawn of Lu Qiaoqiao?
Lu Qiaoqiao is just a teenage girl, how can she be so formidable?
The next morning.
As the first light of dawn rose in the east, Li Hengsheng was sitting cross-legged on his bed, his breath steady, his injuries fully healed.
With a Divine Body like Sun, Moon, Immortal, and Demon, such severe injuries took only three days to recover. Li Hengsheng felt that if he could reach the stage of Minor Divine Body, his recovery ability would be much stronger.
Today is also the day to return to Tushan City.
With his injuries fully recovered, and Lu Qiaoqiao having prepared a lot of delicious dishes yesterday to thank Huang Tieshan for saving his life, today she was to follow him back.
Stepping outside, he saw Lu Qiaoqiao was already awake, standing under a tree, gazing into the distance.
"Good morning, Junior Sister Lu." Li Hengsheng walked over, looking at Lu Qiaoqiao’s figure, like an Immortal descended to the mundane world.
Especially after the events of that night, Li Hengsheng was even more captivated.
Lu Qiaoqiao was really too beautiful!
"Good morning, Senior Brother Li." Lu Qiaoqiao turned and smiled at Li Hengsheng.
"Today we should head back. It’s quite a distance to Tushan City, and I need to search for my weapon along the way, so it’s better for us to set off early."
After being away from Tushan City for two days, Li Hengsheng was a bit anxious, not knowing how things were at the Inspection Mansion.
Also, Uncle Xu and the others must be worried.
With his disappearance, the Mu Mansion and the Hua family would certainly not remain idle.
There are too many matters needing his attention, he must return immediately.
"Alright, Senior Brother, are your injuries completely healed?" Lu Qiaoqiao came up to closely inspect Li Hengsheng, and helped to straighten his clothing.
"Don’t worry, I’m fully healed." Li Hengsheng nodded.
"You’re up early." At this moment, Huang Tieshan’s voice could be heard.
Huang Tieshan came out.
"Uncle Huang, we need to leave early today." Li Hengsheng said to Huang Tieshan, "It’s quite a journey back to Tushan City."
"I know." Huang Tieshan nodded.
"Senior Brother, I’ll go pack my things, wait for me." Lu Qiaoqiao said to Li Hengsheng.
"Do you need my help?" Li Hengsheng asked quickly.
"No need, I’ll be quick." Lu Qiaoqiao smiled slightly, then turned and went back inside.
Li Hengsheng waited outside for Lu Qiaoqiao, while chatting with Huang Tieshan.
After waiting for a short while, Lu Qiaoqiao came out from inside.
"Senior Brother Li, I’m ready." Lu Qiaoqiao said calmly.
Li Hengsheng turned and noticed Lu Qiaoqiao had changed into a new outfit.
It was a blood-red long dress that appeared somewhat enchanting, different from Lu Qiaoqiao’s usual appearance.
Li Hengsheng was startled, instinctively asking, "Junior Sister Lu, why did you change your clothes?"
"Do you like it?" Lu Qiaoqiao asked with a smile.
"It looks good, Junior Sister Lu looks good in anything." Li Hengsheng nodded, but he couldn’t shake a strange feeling.
At this moment, Li Hengsheng remembered what the intelligence had said.
If Lu Qiaoqiao wears red, be sure to keep your distance from her.
Thinking of this sentence, a vague sense of foreboding crept into Li Hengsheng’s heart.
He didn’t know why.
The feeling was very strong.
Before Li Hengsheng could understand what was happening, Huang Tieshan, standing behind him, suddenly reached out and locked his body in an embrace!
A terrifying force restrained Li Hengsheng completely!
Li Hengsheng was shocked, exclaiming, "Uncle Huang, what are you doing?"
But he didn’t receive any answer. Huang Tieshan had already changed, his features becoming sinister.
With a cracking sound, countless vines sprang from Huang Tieshan’s body.
In just two breaths, Huang Tieshan had transformed into a black ancient tree!
Li Hengsheng was now bound to the tree, and no matter how he struggled, the vines only tightened around him.
"Tree Ghost."
Li Hengsheng could not have imagined Huang Tieshan was actually a Tree Ghost in disguise.
Looking ahead at Lu Qiaoqiao, she was staring quietly at him.
"Why?" Li Hengsheng could not believe that Lu Qiaoqiao had really made a move against him.
"What exactly are you asking about?" Lu Qiaoqiao’s tone grew calm as she slowly approached Li Hengsheng, her eyes carrying a hint of unfamiliarity, mixed with complex emotions.
"Why join the Longevity Sect? Now that you’ve left the Longevity Sect, why do you want to kill me?" Li Hengsheng desperately wanted to know.
"Senior Brother Li, don’t blame me." Lu Qiaoqiao shook her head, "I joined the Longevity Sect because I needed it to find the gate, and now I need you as the key. Otherwise, wouldn’t years of planning go to waste?"
"Years?" Li Hengsheng frowned, "But you’re only a few years old."
"Were you possessed by someone?"
Li Hengsheng could only think of this possibility.
If not possessed, how did Lu Qiaoqiao become like this?
"And your memory loss, was all an act? Your acting skills are really good, I was completely fooled by you!" Li Hengsheng looked at Lu Qiaoqiao with a complicated expression. How did he not realize Lu Qiaoqiao had such talent before?
