Bamboo house in the woods.
Mr. Pei didn't look surprised or unfamiliar with this uninvited guest so early in the morning. After entering the house, he took off his coat and put it on a hanger as usual, looking at the visitor.
"You have something on your mind." The visitor sat behind Mr. Pei's tea table and didn't notice anything. He made himself a pot of strong tea using Mr. Pei's favorite flying pot, and poured it into the cup at the same time. Said while talking.
The tone he used was not a question, but a statement. Mr. Pei simply did not answer and sat across from him.
"Would you like a drink?" the visitor asked, as if he was the owner of the room.
Mr. Pei shook his head.
"You didn't notice the crack until you walked to the door, so I think there's something on your mind." The visitor picked up the cup and said.
"What brings you here?" Mr. Pei still didn't say anything about himself, but only asked the other party why he came.
"I was just passing by and came to see you." the visitor said.
"Why are you passing by?" Mr. Pei asked.
The visitor smiled. As expected of an old friend, I still understand him after all. He didn't come here to find Mr. Pei, but he passed by for certain things after all.
"Lu Ping." The visitor said.
"Oh?" Mr. Pei was a little surprised, and then waited for the person to continue talking.
"Number seventy-one," the visitor said.
Mr. Pei's expression changed immediately. He already believed the news that was still waiting for confirmation in an instant. Because of the number seventy-one, he knew what it meant.
"Is he No. 71?" Mr. Pei said.
"Yes." The visitor said.
"But shouldn't he..." Mr. Pei stopped talking. What should be is no longer important, what is important is what the real situation is now.
"What can you do?" He changed the question.
"I thought he had." The visitor smiled bitterly, "But I didn't expect that his improvement would be so fast. You know, his improvement is not that of a cultivator."
"I understand. So what should we do now?" Mr. Pei said.
"I have to go back first." The person said.
"What about Luping here?"
"You don't need to do anything, and this is not something that requires you to be responsible for." The person said.
"It's not what I asked for." Mr. Pei smiled. They know the details of Lu Ping and the strength of the six souls. Who dares to provoke him?
"But just pay attention to where they go when they leave." The visitor said.
"Try your best," Mr. Pei said.
"Okay, then I'll go."
"Take care of yourself."
"Take care of yourself."
The two said goodbye to each other, and Mr. Pei came to see the visitor out the door. After looking around, the man nodded, and in a flash, he disappeared into the forest nearby. Mr. Pei did not linger at the door, turned around and returned to the house.
In the forest, the visitor arrived at a tree in a few steps. There was a young man standing next to the tree, motionless, like a sculpture. It wasn't until Mr. Pei came to him that he reluctantly moved his eyes, but it looked like it was extremely difficult.
"Very good." The visitor nodded with an expression of great approval, "It's only been a few days, and you can already keep your eyes open, your sight can move a little, and you can still hear me speak. But despite all the informants, no one has discovered your existence."
The sculpture-like young man suddenly seemed to be unfrozen. He turned his head, looked at the visitor and said, "Since you can't sense the power of my spirit, how did you find out that I was just pretending to be dead?"
The young man turned out to be Tianqi, the young city guard of Xiafeng City, and this person was none other than Lu Zheng who took him away from there. Faced with Wei Tianqi's doubts at this time, he smiled and said: "Of course I didn't see through your superpower, I just discovered that when the power of soul exploded and swept you away, more of the power actually came from yourself. , so I guess you were pretending to be dead. As for later, your superpower obviously can't last long, so I waited a little longer, and you showed signs of it."
Wei Tianqi was silent. Lu Zheng was right. Of course he knew very well what scheming he had played at that time.
"Then what do you want to do by teaching me such an exercise now? Do you want to use me to assassinate Lu Ping?" Wei Tianqi said.
"Assassinating Lu Ping? Maybe you will want to do it yourself, and I won't stop you. But to me, the important thing is your blood inheritance power. You call it false sleep, but after just these few days of practice, it is Look, do you still think this is just a power used to pretend to be dead?"
"But I still can't think of any use after practicing like this." Wei Tianqi said.
"We need to explore this slowly together." Lu Zheng said.
"Then what?"
"Then?"
"Then what do you need me to do? Do you want me to believe that you are just trying to help me further develop our family's blood inheritance ability?" Wei Tianqi said.
"To be honest, without knowing how far your dream will develop, I can't confirm what I need you to do," Lu Zheng said.
"But you always have an expected direction, right?" Wei Tianqi said.
"So do you think I will tell you something very important and confidential without ensuring that you can provide help?" If so, once it is finally discovered that you are not needed, what do you think your end will be? What? " Lu Zheng said.
"So I've been telling you, don't ask too much first." Lu Zheng looked at him and said, "It won't do you any good to know too much now. I will promise to help you improve your strength, but how can it be improved? How much depends on you personally."
"Is it related to false sleep?" Wei Tianqi said.
"Of course. I thought you knew this already, otherwise do you think there is anything special about you?" Lu Zheng said.
There was a bit of ridicule in these words, but Wei Tianqi was not angry because of it, but felt at ease. If Mengmeng is the descendant of their family, then he is the only one in the world who can control it. Since the other party relies on his power, they have to rely on him, the only one in the world. This difference is enough.
"I hope this is our last conversation about this matter. I told you from the beginning that if you follow, please make up your mind. And I don't appreciate your hesitant attitude now." Lu Zheng said .
"I understand." Wei Tianqi nodded.
"Let's go." Lu Zheng turned around and walked towards the north of the forest. Wei Tianqi followed him without asking a word. After they left for a long time, Tietou walked out of the forest at the other end of the bamboo house, glanced at the woods opposite, and then walked up to the bamboo house.
He knocked on the door three times, and after getting a response from Mr. Pei inside, he walked in.
"What are your orders, Mr. Pei?" he asked after entering the room.
"Let everyone come back. There is no need to confirm the previous news." Mr. Pei said.
"Oh? Then this news..." Tietou was stunned.
"Ignore it. Ignore anything about Lu Ping." Mr. Pei said.
"Then those magic weapons..."
"The person from Baozhilin said yesterday that they went to Baozhilin yesterday to sell the magic weapon. Sister Jin may be their final buyer. We will deal with it after the magic weapon is passed on," Mr. Pei said. .
"I understand." Tietou nodded.
Normally, when Mr. Pei no longer has any instructions, he will tacitly withdraw without further instructions. But today, after Mr. Pei fell silent, he was still standing in the room, seemingly hesitant.
Mr. Pei looked up at him. The tacit understanding between the two was mutual. He immediately saw what Tietou was thinking. He trusted his subordinate very much, but there were some things that he couldn't share with Tietou after all.
"You go ahead. Remember what I said." Mr. Pei said.
"Yes." Tietou nodded, looking a little sad. He once thought that he had 100% trust from Mr. Pei, but now it seems that this is not entirely true.
"It's better to know many things than not to know." Looking at his back as he prepared to leave, Mr. Pei said suddenly.
Tietou turned around and saw a hint of pain on Mr. Pei's face. And what he said was telling Tietou that it was not a happy thing to bear secrets.
"I understand." Tietou said. He doesn't need to know so much, not because Mr. Pei doesn't trust him enough, but because Mr. Pei loves and protects him.
"I will do my best." Tietou said, this is the best feedback he can give.
"Thank you." Mr. Pei said, Tietou's understanding made him fulfill his duties even more.
Tietou left, and Mr. Pei was the only one left in the room, looking at the pot of strong tea that Lu Zheng had brewed.
Lu Ping is number seventy-one?
This news actually did not bring much shock to Mr. Pei. He already knew about the existence of number seventy-one, and he had heard the name Lu Ping because of the Xuanjun Empire's nationwide wanted list. Now it was just two existences that he knew were overlapped together. There was nothing to make a fuss about. Whether it is Lu Ping or No. 71, it has nothing to do with him. Because those magic soldiers almost had some intersection, but fortunately they didn't, and there won't be any in the future, so his connection with Lu Ping, and No. 71 ended here. From now on, he just knew that these two beings were the same person.
What really concerned him was Maureen.
Even when he was once wanted by the entire nation of the Xuanjun Empire, Mr. Pei had never been so worried. But now, he is actually mixed up with number seventy-one.
This is troublesome, very troublesome.
Mr. Pei didn't know what to do. His heart was even more chaotic than when he first saw Mo Lin come back. Much more chaotic.
