632 Lu Siblings
“Chaofeng! What do you think?” Lu Zhi’s eyes gradually turned cold as she watched Xiao Mo leave. She glanced at the dark valley.
As soon as she finished speaking, a black-robed young man walked out expressionlessly.
Lu Chaofeng was Lu Zhi’s biological younger brother. The two of them were geniuses of the Infinite Region and ascended to the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands together. Among them, Lu Zhi was the successor of the Heaven Mending Goddess in the Infinite Region.
Just like Lian Feng, they were both contenders. Their goal was the same. They wanted to become the center of attention, the supreme Heaven Mending Goddess.
Lu Chaofeng was Lu Zhi’s guardian. He was in the dark, clearing obstacles for Lu Zhi and doing some work to kill without spilling blood.
Lu Chaofeng appeared coldly when he heard his sister’s question. He stared coldly at Xiao Mo’s departing figure. After a while, he said coldly, “Those who can’t be used by me can be killed.”
His answer was very final. Lu Zhi nodded when she heard this. She was not a kind person to begin with and agreed with her brother’s suggestion.
“Hmm… This person is the Heaven Mending Deity, so he naturally has some strength. If we can obtain his support, we will definitely have a great help towards the Goddess path.” After a careful analysis, Lu Zhi said, “It’s our first time here and we’re unfamiliar with the place. It’s better not to act rashly. We don’t know the situation for the time being. If we attack rashly, we will only ruin things.”
Hearing Lu Zhi’s analysis, Lu Chaofeng nodded tacitly. Then, he said, “Sister, what do you think of Xiao Mo?”
As soon as this question was asked, Lu Zhi also had a headache. She shook her head and said, “This person is lazy and indulgent by nature. He doesn’t care about power at all. He’s an extremely unstable factor.
“From the tone of his voice just now, he doesn’t seem to approve of us befriending Ye Qiu. I wonder why?”
Lu Zhi couldn’t figure it out. Xiao Mo didn’t make things clear. He only reminded her but didn’t tell her before he left. This person was very strange. He looked like he was helping them, but he didn’t seem to be sincerely helping them. It was more like a formality.
However, the truth was as she had thought. Xiao Mo was only here to make his stand clear because of her father’s kindness to him back then.
In all these years in the Heaven Mending Holy Land, he had never taken sides or participated in any disputes. He was more like an expert who had attained the Dao without any desires. He was free and lazy and had truly reached the realm of inaction.
However, such a strange person still appeared today. The moment he appeared, it meant that he was standing on Lu Zhi’s team.
As for why he did this, it was actually very simple.
Just like Lu Zhi, he was also from the Infinite Region and was much older than Lu Zhi. He belonged to the group of competitors on the path to immortality before her. In that cruel competition, he was similar to many young people. He also had the determination to not fall behind others.
However, in the subsequent competition, he almost lost his life. If not for the Patriarch of the Lu Clan, Lu Chengfeng, saving him, he would have died in that sea of blood.
From that moment on, he owed the Lu Clan a favor. It was also because of this that after Lu Zhi and Lu Chaofeng ascended, they were guided by Lu Chengfeng and brought a token, forcing Xiao Mo to return this favor.
Therefore, there was the scene just now.
The two of them began to discuss Xiao Mo’s intentions. After thinking for a long time, Lu Zhi said, “Father said that in the early years, this person had a good reputation in the Infinite Region. He never went back on his word. He owes my Lu Clan a favor. This is also his promise to Father back then. I believe he won’t harm us.”
Lu Zhi trusted Xiao Mo very much, but Lu Chaofeng might not. He said coldly, “Haha, people will always change. The promise from back then might not be useful today. In this world, we can only trust ourselves. We have to be wary of others. Xiao Mo looks lazy, but his heart is incomparably meticulous. This person… hides it very deeply. Even now, I can’t see through his thoughts.”
This was Lu Chaofeng’s highest evaluation of Xiao Mo. After so many years, he could be considered to have experienced hundreds of battles and was knowledgeable. He had seen all kinds of people, but in his heart, people like Xiao Mo were the most terrifying existences.
Hearing this, Lu Zhi became a little vigilant. After all, they didn’t know Xiao Mo very well. It could be said that they were very unfamiliar with him. The reason why he chose to help them was because he owed their Lu Clan a favor back then. As for how much this favor was worth, that was another story.
“Hmm… You have a point.” After a while, Lu Zhi already knew in her heart that she was not a fool to be able to reach this point. She also had her own schemes. After thinking for a long time, she slowly said, “I’ve also asked around these few days and roughly understand the situation of the Heaven Mending Holy Land.
“So far, in the Holy Land, other than the Heaven Mending Saintess, Ming Yue, and this Heaven Mending Deity who suddenly appeared, there are many powerful figures who have hidden themselves.
“For example, that disciple of the Ye Clan, Ye Qingxuan. This person’s strength is astonishing and cannot be underestimated. He has a chance of winning the position of Deity.
“I heard that this person has already broken through to the Ten Heavenly Sanctums and successfully entered the Heavenly Venerate realm. Only the Heaven Mending Saintess, Ming Yue, can compare to such talent, right? If we can’t befriend Ye Qiu, we can give this person a try.”
After a simple analysis, Lu Zhi agreed with Lu Chaofeng. If possible, their first choice would definitely be Ye Qiu. However, Xiao Mo’s inexplicable words just now made them hesitate. They couldn’t figure out why Xiao Mo said that they could rope in anyone in the entire Heaven Mending Holy Land except Ye Qiu.
They really could not figure out this problem. Lu Zhi wanted to visit Violet Cloud Training Hall with the intention of giving it a try. After all, they couldn’t completely believe Xiao Mo’ words. They needed a clear answer.
Lu Chaofeng agreed with Lu Zhi’s decision. The two of them discussed for a moment and chose to go to Violet Cloud Training Hall to investigate the situation.
At this moment, on a big tree outside the mountain, Xiao Mo was lying lazily on a branch, leisurely dozing off. After a while, he couldn’t help but smile when he saw the Lu siblings heading towards Violet Cloud Peak. He only felt mockery in his heart.
“Haha, I’ve already said what I needed to say. If you insist on asking for trouble, I won’t care.” Xiao Mo smiled faintly and didn’t stop them. He knew very well that these siblings were clearly guarding against him.
Although he felt very uncomfortable, he, who was carefree by nature, did not care much. He only wanted to return Lu Chengfeng a favor. It didn’t matter if the siblings believed him or not.
