"It’s not about that, I’ll explain later. What I want to know is where the blood on your clothes ca from." Zhang Ze pointed with his free hand at the robe and sleeves of Li.
There, bloodstains had turned black.
Li, "This? I got it on yesterday, forgot to clean it."
Zhang Ze, "What were you up to? Killing chickens or killing people? Need to help you dispose of the body?"
Li, "Hell no, I got it while playing chess."
Zhang Ze, "Playing chess?"
Li nodded, "Yesterday I went to the chess room for a ga and t a girly man who had issues. He said I didn’t place my captured pieces in the lid as per the rules and wanted to count that as my loss."
"And then?" Zhang Ze asked, "You stabbed him and killed him?"
"How could I? I’m not that hot-headed or bloodthirsty," Li coldly snorted while stroking his beard.
"Then you?" Zhang Ze stared at the blood on his master’s clothes.
"I just gave a minor punishnt, rely tapped his head lightly with the chessboard."
Zhang Ze, "..."
Zhang Ze thought to himself, no wonder he’s my master. He was about to flatter him with sothing like "smashing it well makes you a chess saint" but Xiangfei next to him couldn’t hold back her laughter.
"Hahaha, sorry, don’t mind ..." Xiangfei said, covering her mouth while laughing.
Being laughed at by Xiangfei made Li a little embarrassed too, so he waved his hand and said, "I’m going to find that Little Earth Immortal, don’t mind ."
After speaking, he turned and left the courtyard.
"Why are you laughing?" Zhang Ze asked.
"Oh, nothing, just think the people around you are all interesting," Xiangfei said softly.
"Yeah, they’re all quite interesting." Zhang Ze smiled, "Let’s go, we need to find Lu Chen."
"Okay."
After the two left, not long after.
A rustling sound ca from the flowerbed behind them, and like a spy, Little Earth Immortal erged from the dirt, his face painted in green camo, staring in the direction Zhang Ze had left with a look that said "you’re done for."
He pondered a bit, didn’t act imdiately, but instead, like a cockroach, buried himself back into the soil.
...
On Zhang Ze’s side, the two went into the inner residence, and as soon as they pushed the door open, they saw Lu Chen standing in the room with his back to them.
He had a very profound deanor, as if pretending to be a master by not speaking, not even turning around when he heard the door open.
Zhang Ze didn’t mind, he perford the technique to activate the array in the room that isolated prying eyes, then stepped forward and gently patted Lu Chen on the shoulder.
"Do you have any ideas about the Human Emperor Banner?"
However, with just a light pat, Lu Chen fell straight down, blood starting to ooze from his head.
As if he were dead...
Zhang Ze, "..."
Xiangfei, "..."
Before Zhang Ze could rush forward to save him, Lu Chen got up by himself, turned around and said to Zhang Ze as if nothing had happened, "I’m fine."
"No, I think you have a problem," Zhang Ze said.
Lu Chen’s current state looked very bad, his eyes were bloodshot, his face ghostly pale, and sothing more than just blood was spurting from the top of his head like a fountain, then dissipating into the air.
Lu Chen probably also realized his oddity, she covered her head, then perford a finger technique and transford into a seventeen or eighteen-year-old appearance.
As she changed, her sowhat ghostly pale complexion returned to normal, but the ’fountain’ on her head remained.
Because she couldn’t hold it down tightly, so would occasionally leak out.
"I’m fine, see for yourself if you don’t believe ."
Perhaps to prove sothing to Zhang Ze, Lu Chen lightly jumped up, but her leg went weak, and she fell straight down again.
This ti, however, Zhang Ze used his energy control to catch her and placed her onto the bed.
Leaning against the soft cushion, the Grand Sect Leader no longer tried to act tough, "Alright, I’m not alright, but I should be fine in a few days. Don’t spread this around for the ti being."
Zhang Ze, "I’m not stupid, but you..."
Lu Chen shook her head, "Don’t worry, I won’t die soon. Focus on solving the Human Emperor Banner issue. That thing can’t stay in her body forever, and you can’t keep holding her hand for a lifeti."
Perhaps because she spoke too much, Lu Chen took a while to gaze at Xiangfei and continued asking.
"Do you rember how the Human Emperor Banner got sealed inside your body?"
"I don’t rember. Before eting you guys, I didn’t even know about this," Xiangfei shook her head.
"Then tell everything from when you were taken to the Imperial Palace until all the strange incidents that happened yesterday."
Xiangfei thought for a mont, then began to speak...
According to Xiangfei, she was an orphan raised by her aunt. Until last year, her aunt planned to sell her for money...
However, the day after the deal, when the broker was supposed to co for her, Xiangfei woke up to find everyone in the village had vanished.
Then, she was taken to Bianjing by the Liang Song Ancestor who suddenly appeared in the village.
After arriving in Bianjing, aside from being allowed to et the Emperor once, the ancestor sent her into the red walls, and thereafter only ordered a few palace maids to give her talismans and pill dicines regularly, ignoring her otherwise.
He didn’t even look at her.
"Do you still have the pill dicine?" Lu Chen asked.
"Yes." The one answering was Zhang Ze.
While taking Xiangfei away, he also took the wheelchair along.
And the pill dicine Xiangfei usually took was there.
After placing the pill dicine, talismans, and the wheelchair in front of Lu Chen, Zhang Ze stepped back, waiting quietly.
Lu Chen supported herself, first picking up the pill dicine to scrutinize it for a while before setting her gaze on the wheelchair.
After examining it for a long ti, Lu Chen seed to understand.
"Take off your clothes." She said to Xiangfei.
"Huh, Take off? Take off..."
Xiangfei was startled.
"Not all of it, just expose your back," Lu Chen said.
