"Fortune telling?"
Lu Li frowned. Out of instinct, he looked between Su Zixi's eyebrows but found nothing.
He remembered Astro Emperor's enigmatic smile. He asked, "Fortune telling is the same as fortune telling?
Can fortune telling tell a person's fate in advance? "
"Not exactly the same."
Su Zixi explained, "Fortune telling can only tell a person's fortune for a short period of time. Those who are luckier will go further.
You know, when a warrior reaches a certain level, luck and opportunities are of the utmost importance. "
"Alright!"
Lu Li shrugged. "Thank you, Brother Su. I have completed my task for this month. If I need your help in the future, I will ask for your help."
"Ha, ha, I knew it, Brother Li. You are so lucky. How can you not complete a small task?" Su Zixi grinned. He patted Lu Li's shoulder and said, "Let's go. Let's go and hand in our tasks."
Lu Li moved his shoulder subtly and moved Su Zixi's hand away.
It was hard for Lu Li to acknowledge someone. He would not burn incense sticks and become sworn brothers with Su Zixi just because of a few words.
They walked toward a castle. Before they entered the castle, they had already attracted many people's attention. Those that could enter the castle were here to hand in their tasks, which meant that Lu Li and Su Zixi had collected enough Spring Gold.
Inside the castle, there were five prefecture warriors sitting at five tables. Two of them were handing in Spring Gold.
Lu Li and Su Zixi went to a prefecture warrior respectively to hand in their tasks for this month.
"Name, number!"
A prefecture warrior in front of Lu Li asked coldly. Lu Li asked with confusion, "What is the number?"
"Your pickaxe has a number on it. That is your number," the prefecture warrior answered coldly.
Lu Li took out the pickaxe and reported, "Lord, my name is Li Lu, number 10,730. This is the Spring Gold I have to hand in this month."
Lu Li took out the Spring Gold from his Interspatial Ring. He had consumed the hunchbacked Interspatial Ring. Otherwise, his own Interspatial Ring could not contain the Spring Gold.
"Okay!" The Official Guard put away the Spring Gold and waved his hand. "You may leave. Come back next month."
Su Zixi was done as well. Lu Li was about to leave when an ugly prefecture warrior with triangular eyes on his right looked at Lu Li and said, "Wait!"
Lu Li turned around to look at that prefecture warrior. He noticed that the prefecture warrior was scrutinizing Lu Li in his triangular-shaped eyes. The prefecture warrior even threw a few glances at Lu Li's white hair.
He was a little hesitant in his heart, but he respectfully bowed and said, "What can I do for you, sir?"
"What's your name? Which realm did you come from before you ascended?" That person coldly asked. His expression was natural, as if he was just casually asking.
Lu Li was surprised but he did not hesitate. He answered honestly, "My name is Li Lu and I am from the Grand Martial Universe."
Su Zixi raised his eyebrows. He did come from the Vast Martial Realm. Lu Li was lying.
However, he didn't say anything, and his eyes didn't reveal anything special.
"Great Martial Realm?"
The glow in the prefecture warrior's triangular-shaped eyes grew sharper. A surge of energy was released, suffocating Lu Li. The prefecture warrior asked, "Are you sure you are telling the truth?
Lying to me can lead to serious consequences. "
Lu Li cupped his fists calmly and said, "I dare not lie to you, sir!"
"If I find out, hmm!" The bird-eyed prefecture warrior snorted and waved his hand. "You can leave now."
Lu Li cupped his fists and turned around. Su Zixi followed him out. Outside the castle, Lu Li slowed down and listened to the voices inside.
"Monkey, why did you ask about the universe that new guy came from?"
Lu Li heard a question from inside. That bird-eyed warrior's voice came out as well. Clearly, he was laughing. "Nothing. I mistook him for someone else. I thought he was from the universe I ascended from. I don't think so."
Lu Li quickened his pace as he walked towards his own castle. His heart was sinking.
Su Zixi was smart. He said nothing and followed Lu Li in silence.
"Brother Su, please keep this a secret for me. I owe you one."
When they were about to enter the castle, Lu Li said to Su Zixi in a low voice.
Su Zixi did not ask anything. He just patted Lu Li's shoulder and said, "Brother Li, you are welcome. It takes more than a day or two to make friends. A long journey tests the strength of a horse, and time reveals a man's heart.
In the future, you will know … that I, Su Zixi, am a worthy friend. "
"Do you want to come to my room?"
Lu Li smiled. Su Zixi nodded and followed Lu Li into his small room.
The room was small with only a bed and a chair. Lu Li asked Su Zixi to sit on the chair. He activated the Inhibition Formation in the room. Lu Li said nothing as he tried to recall the look and question of that bird-eyed prefecture warrior!
"It seems that Yan Tiangang's influence has reached this place."
The more Lu Li thought about it, the more worried he became. How could a prefecture warrior ask him which universe he came from out of nowhere?
Also, this bird-eyed warrior looked at Lu Li's white hair. Lu Li said that he was from the Great Martial Realm, but this man did not believe him …
Everything suggested that this prefecture warrior might have guessed Lu Li's identity, but he was not sure. That was why he asked.
If it was Yan Tiangang who was looking for Lu Li, his portrait would be delivered soon. By then, Lu Li's identity would be exposed!
"Brother Li, are you in trouble?"
Seeing that Lu Li was silent, Su Zixi asked with curiosity, "Is there an immortal that wants to hunt you down?
Did you ask that prefecture warrior to confirm your identity? "
Su Zixi was smart. But those that could ascend to the Immortal Realm were all extremely smart.
What happened just now, Lu Li's current demeanor, and the fact that Lu Li had lied. Therefore, Su Zixi could infer something.
"Yes, but I am not sure yet!"
Lu Li nodded. He did not tell Su Zixi the truth. Instead, he asked, "Brother Su, how much do you know about the Divinity?"
Su Zixi answered frankly, "Not bad. My great grandpa is in the Divinity now. He is a patriarch of a prefecture.
It is a pity that his prefecture is far away. It will take him some time to get here. "
"Another patriarch of a prefecture?" Lu Li was surprised. He asked with curiosity, "Are there many patriarchs in every prefecture?"
"Yes."
Su Zixi explained, "Every prefecture has over ten thousand patriarchs. Any immortal that is on the list can be a patriarch of a prefecture.
Mighty warriors in the Divinity can be a patriarch in any prefecture. My great grandpa is a mighty warrior in the Divinity. He is ranked over sixty thousand on the list. He is quite famous. "
"Oh?
I am sorry! "
Lu Li was surprised. He did not know that Su Zixi had such a background. Su Zixi had been keeping a low profile. Lu Li never saw him boast about anything.
There was an immortal in their batch that had ascended to the Divinity.
Su Zixi shook his head. "Hmm, the glory of our ancestors belongs to our ancestors. If we rely on our ancestors for everything, what is the point of us ascending to the Divinity?
Why don't we just dominate our own universe?
Brother Li, don't belittle yourself. Given your luck, it will be easy for you to become a mighty warrior in the Divinity. "
Looking at Su Zixi's sincere eyes, Lu Li said after some thoughts, "Brother Su, I have offended a mighty warrior in the Divinity. That prefecture warrior might have been bribed by him to confirm my identity."
"Hmm, I see."
