Lu Jing was hit hard by Hanshanke's words. He felt like five thunders struck his head. His whole body stayed there. It took him a while to regain his senses.
"You lied to me."
"I don't."
"You lied to me. I really can't believe a word you say." Lu Jing shook his head.
"I don't need to lie to you, it won't do me any good." Hanshanke said calmly, "If I still want to leave the academy, even if I am an editor, I should make up an excuse to make you believe that I can help you refine your Get the poison you want."
Lu Jing found it difficult to refute for a moment.
Hanshanke continued, "So what I'm telling you now is true."
"I still don't believe you will tell the truth. Otherwise, wouldn't you personally ruin your last chance to leave the academy?"
"That certainly seems to be the case at the moment."
Hanshanke paused, then continued, "Don't be surprised, there are no traps here. Indeed, I have always dreamed of leaving this hellish place and returning to the outside world. I am almost going crazy thinking about it.
"But I went back to regain the things I once had, to regain power, to clean up the mountains and rivers, and to enjoy the bliss of the emperor, instead of escaping like this ghost, finding a corner that no one knows, and lingering there, like this Life is better than letting me die.
"Moreover, now I can't even stand firmly, and naturally I have lost the strength to resist that person. If I go out like this, I am just being a puppet with others."
Lu Jing actually guessed early on that Hanshanke and his accomplices were not just the old eunuch living in seclusion in the busy city.
Because the old eunuch couldn't have come up with the method of letting Hanshanke transform into a strange object to release his shackles and leave the academy, and the old eunuch couldn't command Master Dongxuan.
However, Lu Jing was previously focused on how to get the poison pill back, and had little interest in other things. It wasn't until Hanshanke mentioned it again that Lu Jing thought of it again.
He managed to gather some energy and said, "Is the person you are talking about Mr. Ji?"
"You actually know this name?" Hanshanke was quite surprised.
"By the way, it's quite unusual for you, a newbie in the academy, to actually know the existence of strange objects. Even if the supervisors from Si Tianjian meet Dongxuan and the others, the first suspect should be that they have something hidden in their bodies. What a weird thing.
"After all, this is the knowledge that the academy has always imparted to them. Whenever something happens that cannot be deduced by common sense, it must be caused by something strange."
"I had already encountered rare objects before I met Dong Xuan and the others." Lu Jing didn't hide it either. "He was also the one who refined the rare objects. He told me things related to Mr. Ji."
"What did he say about Mr. Ji?" Hanshanke asked with great interest.
"There is no reason why you keep asking and I keep answering." Lu Jingdao, "You have also met Mr. Ji, why don't you first tell me what kind of person Mr. Ji is in your eyes."
"Master."
"... Can you answer more perfunctorily? I know he is an expert without you having to tell me."
"I'm not being perfunctory, but I really can't see through him." Hanshanke pondered for a moment and then said, "His followers all say that he is a very sincere person, not self-interested, walking in the world just for the sake of Spread love and hope.
"But I don't believe that such people really exist in this world. I have seen many famous hermits. No matter how noble and unsullied they appear to be, as long as you are willing to spend time, you can eventually give them away. Tear off the layers.
"Then you will see their selfishness hidden underneath. But I can't tear apart Mr. Ji's disguise, not even one layer. In fact, his whole person gives me a natural and impeccable feeling. There is no way to start, but one thing is for sure, that is, he is very good at manipulating people's hearts.
"Because I was in the Mirror Lake Valley, I had never really met him. The communication between us was all done through letters. There were only three or four letters in total, and those were all six years ago.
"The person who contacted me later became one of his followers, but with just those three or four letters, a suspicious person like me was convinced by him. This shows how much he grasps people's hearts. Terrible.
"And such a character has remained unknown for so long. If he is not truly devoid of desires, it means that he must have a big conspiracy."
"Is he going to destroy Da Chen?"
"More than that, but I can feel that he seems to care about Si Tianjian and the academy." Hanshanke said, "How about it, do you regret it a little?"
"What do you regret?"
"If I were you, you should have let me leave the academy quietly just now, because what he and I want are different. We just happened to be traveling together for the moment. Sooner or later, we will fall out.
"Actually, I have already planned to get rid of him. If I can succeed, it will save you a big trouble. Even if I can't succeed immediately, maybe we can still cooperate and join forces in the future. Let’s deal with him together.”
"That's what Shao Jian Guo and Huang Jian Yuan have to worry about," Lu Jing waved his hand, "I just want to get my poison pill."
"Why are you so obsessed with that poisonous elixir?" Hanshanke was puzzled, "With your martial arts and secret power cultivation, how many people in the world are you unable to deal with and who need to be solved by this poisonous elixir?
"Besides, according to your requirements, even if this poisonous elixir is mastered, its toxicity will be limited. At most, it will only make people's cultivation stagnant."
As a result, after he finished speaking, he saw Lu Jing's mouth closed, with no intention of explaining at all.
Hanshanke didn't hesitate and said to Lu Jing, "Forget it, this kind of thing has nothing to do with me. Whether it's Mr. Ji or the poisonous elixir, you can just let yourself have a headache. I won't help you." It's time to relax.
"But no matter what the reason is, I didn't do what I promised you before. After all, it's my fault. I can't just say what I say and don't keep it when I get to you. That's all. I won't hold you accountable for causing my longevity to burn out. Now, I’ll give you something else.”
"Are you so generous?" Lu Jing didn't believe it.
Hanshanke smiled slightly, stopped answering, and just stood there.
After a moment, Lu Jing's eyes fell on Hanshanke's legs, but he was startled, "Hey, what's wrong with your feet?"
While the two were talking, Hanshanke's two feet actually turned into tree roots and dug deeply into the soil, while his calves came together and turned into a tree stump, and Other parts of his body are also turning into trees.
After contacting him again with his last words, which seemed like his last words, Lu Jing felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
