"..."
Staring silently at the human-shaped pit below, Pei Wende slowly retracted his outstretched right hand.
"Tell me, what will he think when he wakes up and finds that the person who saved him is the child he has been using?"
The misty air in the sky did not disappear, but Xiao Qing, who had transformed into a human form again, stood behind Pei Wende, staring at what was happening below with interest.
"Use? Is that really just use?"
Seventeen years ago, Li Lefu let go of Mo Laosan, who might be the "son of Gandharva", and has been hiding this from Luo Wo.
In Li Lefu's own words just now, he wanted to prevent Luo Wo from being reborn with the help of the "son of Gandharva".
But from Pei Wende's point of view, wouldn't it be more labor-saving to directly eliminate Mo Laosan, who may be the "son of Gandharva"?
Why risk being discovered by Luo Wo and forcibly keep Mo Laosan?
Besides, taking a step back, even if Li Lefu plans to do something with the power of the "Son of Gandharva", wouldn't it be better to directly control and brainwash him?
Allowing Mo Laosan to live alone outside, even helping each other intentionally or unintentionally, it is impossible to think that this is just a simple use.
"Perhaps I did have the mentality of taking advantage at first..."
"But in the end, I'm afraid even Li Lefu himself doesn't know what Mo Laosan means to him."
After all, Li Lefu is the reincarnation of Luo Wo after all. The similarity in personality between the two is at least 90%, if not 100%.
Just like Luo Wo's ambivalent attitude towards Li Lefu.
Pei Wende believed that Li Lefu's attitude towards Mo Laosan must be extremely contradictory.
"It's all just speculation on your part, isn't it?"
Although he did not completely agree with Pei Wende's idea, Xiaoqing did not choose to dwell on this issue.
"What's next? What are you going to do?"
Xiao Qing has not forgotten that Pei Wende initially wanted to find traces of Xuan Jue through Li Lefu.
Judging from the current situation, there is indeed something fishy hidden in Li Lefu, but this kind of fishiness has nothing to do with Xuan Jue, but has something to do with Luo Wo.
Luo Wo defeated Xuan Jue seventeen years ago, and Xuan Jue has never set foot in Yongle Town in the past seventeen years.
This was tantamount to completely cutting off Pei Wende's previous plan - he could not find any clues about Xuan Jue from Li Lefu or Luo Wo.
"Of course we will continue to search for Xuan Jue's whereabouts."
Seeing through Xiao Qing's thoughts at a glance, Pei Wende just smiled and explained slowly.
"Xuan Jue was able to find Yongle Town seventeen years ago, which means that someone must have provided him with clues about Gui Gushen."
"Although Luo Wo and Gui Gushen later joined forces and successfully forced Xuan Jue out of Yongle Town..."
"But with Xuan Jue's character, if he was really forced to retreat by Luo Wo, how could he swallow this easily?"
Pei Wende actually didn't have much contact with Xuan Jue, and most of the time they were in a hostile position.
But this does not prevent Pei Wende from making an in-depth profile of Xuan Jue's character to infer the other party's behavior style and code of conduct.
To put it bluntly, Xuan Jue's character may not be called a vengeful person, but he is definitely not a magnanimous person.
Being forcefully forced out of Yongle Town by Luo Wo and not appearing in Yongle Town again for seventeen years was not at all in line with Xuan Jue's domineering character.
"What did you guess?"
Hearing the sound of the string and knowing its elegant meaning, Xiaoqing, who already felt that there was something hidden in it, couldn't help but ask.
To be honest, Xiaoqing may not have Pei Wende's clear and careful logical thinking ability, but her innate intuition is not as bad as Pei Wende's.
After all, there were too many loopholes and errors in the previous statements made by Li Lefu and Luo Wo.
Apart from anything else, the original Xuan Jue was a strong man with half a foot on the other side, and his strength was not much worse than that of today's Pei Wende.
With the power I showed earlier, how could I force Xuan Jue not to dare to step into Yongle Town for seventeen years?
"It's not a guess, I just suddenly realized that I was looking at the wrong aspect from the beginning."
The reason why Pei Wende wanted to find clues on Li Lefu at first was because Xuan Jue had never appeared in Yongle Town since that night seventeen years ago.
The preconceived idea made Pei Wende think that Xuan Jue had definitely not given up on Yongle Town, so he would definitely leave an informant in this town.
However, looking at it from another perspective, the reason why Xuan Jue appeared in Yongle Town was because he was chasing Gui Gushen who betrayed Pei Hui.
So under the premise that Gui Gushen was dead, Xuan Jue had no reason to stay in Yongle Town.
"Let's not care about the water content of Luo Ga's previous remarks about 'forcing Xuanjue back'..."
"As far as the facts are concerned, it is very likely that Xuan Jue left here completely after confirming that Gui Gushen was dead."
After listening to Pei Wende's story, Xiaoqing frowned again.
"That is to say, it is impossible for us to find clues about Xuan Jue's whereabouts from this town in the first place."
After eliminating all impossibilities, this almost became the only possible "truth."
Xuan Jue didn't stay in Yongle Town for long at all, so it was naturally impossible for this town to find his informant.
"Theoretically, that's true."
Raising the corners of his mouth in a half-smile, Pei Wende replied noncommittally.
"However, this is all based on 'theory'..."
"Do you still remember what I told you before, that Mo Laosan and I briefly returned to seventeen years ago and witnessed the death of Gui Gushen?"
Xiaoqing nodded affirmatively, naturally Xiaoqing would not forget this.
Even Pei Wende muttered inexplicably "The Heavenly King of the Kingdom of the East", Xiaoqing remembered it clearly.
"From the time Mo Laosan and I returned to that night seventeen years ago, everything was destined to be different."
When he said this, Pei Wende suddenly remembered the ghost girl at the last moment.
The ghost mother who combines gentleness and cruelty, thinking about her child until the last moment.
Now that I think about it, it seems that the key clue I want to find, the ghost girl who almost became my "adoptive mother", has already been arranged.
"Gui Gushen has obviously granted all her wishes, so why is there still a trace of resentment left in the Earth Temple?"
"Why did she take the initiative to tell me when she learned that I was Pei Wende seventeen years later? The one who killed her was Xuan Jue, the strongest person in the world?"
"This is not in line with normal logic at all. It's as if Gui Gushen is deliberately hinting at something."
While they were talking, the big Prajna ghost mask that symbolized the "Ghost Girl" appeared out of thin air in Pei Wende's hands, and then floated quietly.
"The clues I want to find are actually already in my hands."
