BXBX NOVEL Chapter 924 - Unexpected
Chapter 924: Unexpected
“Deduction Barrier, Mother Meeting Son but not knowing one another. The Saint Venerable’s methods are amazing! How unexpected...”
This was the Eighth Layer of the Death Jail, 30,000 feet above the ground.
Two people stood here but there were no shadows or signs of them. They could see everything that was happening below.
Li Tianqing thought to himself that having the meeting whilst not knowing the identity of the other person, was far better than not having a meeting at all.
If in the future, if they had a chance to break through this Deduction Barrier, who knows how much pain they would feel?
His expression didn’t change as he continued smiling.
“Junior hasn’t congratulated Saint Venerable yet. It seems like your cultivation has greatly increased!”
“My cultivation has only improved a little. In terms of deduction skills, I am far weaker than the Buddhist Faction.”
Lu Jueyan smiled with an indiscernible expression. He then asked, “You were the one who made those red hummingbirds? I remembered that in the punishment there was none of this?”
“Saint Venerable...”
His expression instantly changed as he looked toward Lu Jueyan with a weird expression.
He didn’t understand what he meant and only felt a cold intent.
During these 17 days, Lu Jueyan was here, looking at everything Zong Shou did with great intrigue.
The Saint Venerable should have seen the red hummingbirds long ago.
Why was it that he didn’t bother at the start, but his tone now sounded like he was asking for answers?
He thought about it for a moment before answering cautiously, “This was done by Li Yunge. Before the Hanyan matter, Yunge and Hanyan were fiancé and fiancée. Apart from that, Yunge naturally hates her to the very core of her being. Actually, we can’t blame him. 20 years ago, he loved her deeply. As they say, the deeper one loves, the deeper one will hate! Due to that terrible humiliation, he was able to greatly improve and become the second of the Saint Dynasty princes...”
“Yunge?”
Jueyan’s brow rose, his eyes marked by an expression of understanding.
For the Lu Family to maintain their bloodline, it was normal for the race to intermarry, especially for people like Lu Hanyan who couldn’t marry outsiders.
Lu Yange’s name was one he had heard of decades ago. Who knew that this kid could actually reach such a high level?
To be ranked second out of all the Lu Family princes, not only did his bloodline have to be far above people of the same race, he had to have great strength. Furthermore, he had to have at least 2 Country Rulers supporting him.
Lu Tianqing not only spoke to argue for Lu Yunge, but also to argue for himself and to remind him of the importance within.
Lu Jueyan laughed, treating it like he didn’t hear anything.
“However, you are still the Death Jail Guard. He wanted to torture her like this and you agreed? And also this type of Red Hummingbird?”
Red Hummingbirds didn’t eat much but the poison in their saliva could increase pain by dozens and hundreds of times.
The Lu Family often used the saliva of the Red Hummingbird along with torture to interrogate criminals. However, those were really rare cases.
Lu Tianqing was covered in a cold sweat. He didn’t understand why Lu Jueyan said those words.
Was this Saint Venerable leaning toward Lu Hanyan? That couldn’t be the case...
If he wasn’t happy with it, he wouldn’t have helped them 20 years ago. After which he wouldn’t have bothered about the matter.
“It is Junior’s fault, I shouldn’t have done that! After this, I will head to the Punishment Hall to ask for punishment. This won’t happen in the future!”
“It is good that you admit your mistake! As for punishment, there is no rush. Actually, there is no need to talk about the future...”
Lu Jueyan nodded slightly, smiling as he sized up the red-robed old man.
“You are injured? Was it left by Zong Weiran 3 years ago? What is wrong with it now?”
Lu Tianqing was stunned, green veins popping on his arms. His face was expressionless, “It is just a small injury, it is not worth paying attention! Thank you Saint Venerable for caring.”
Although Zong Weiran was forced back, he too saw it as a great humiliation!
An Intermediate God Realm Expert could actually injure him and then leave safely.
This injury wasn’t healed even after 3 years!
Lu Jueyan’s smile became even wider when he heard this, “That’s good! I recalled that the Tianqi World That Lu Family rules have a Cangwu Saint Tree. It bears fruit every 2,000 years and it can increase one’s lifespan by 100 years. You can go there and take 10 fruits. Remember to return in 10 days, don’t be late!”
His tone was firm and wasn’t to be doubted.
Lu Tianqing was stunned. Of course he had heard about the Cangwu Tree.
This was a top treasure of the Lu Family, it could even be called one of the foundations of the Lu Family.
It produced a fruit every 4 years and there were just 72 to be split within the race.
Even a Saint Realm person like him couldn’t enter the region.
Why did he want it? Even 10 at once?
An End Realm Saint Venerable lived forever. The lifespan increasing effect of this item was useless for him.
Just as he was hesitating to ask, he saw Lu Jueyan looking over coldly.
He didn’t hesitate, acknowledging before dashing into the distance.
Jueyan’s words totally confused him and he didn’t know what was going on.
At the start, he wanted to scold him and punish him but then easily let him off.
In the end, he instructed him to head to the Cangwu Saint Fruit.
Was he going to give it to Lu Hanyan?
100 of them could give 400 years of lifespan...
Then, he shook his head and chased away such thoughts.
Saint Venerables were really skilled but such items to increase lifespan weren’t things they could decide.
If he wanted to use it, he had to first explain himself to the people in the family whose lifespan was about to run out.
Lu Hanyan was already given up by the family. Even Yanyuan Saint Venerable who doted on her didn’t do anything.
Much less the Extreme Flame Saint Venerable?
Today, based on what he knew, this Saint Venerable’s temper was getting more and more unpredictable. At least when he was young he did many preposterous things. His actions weren’t weird or maybe he was being suspicious for no reason.
Even if he knew that this mission was inappropriate, he couldn’t reject it.
A Phoenix shape appeared. Then, a woman wearing a noble dress and red-winged cape walked out of the flames.
Her brow showed mocking intent, “Are you really planning to give up on Tianqing Venerable? Although he is very scheming, he did many things for you.”
“He is too cunning and scheming!”
Jueyan was expressionless as he looked at the black mist below, “It cannot be considered that I am giving up on him! In the past, when he did all those things, I treated him well. Now that I need him to suffer a little, he shouldn’t have any grievances.”
