Qian Huanhan was tempted but Lu Li was troubled.
He was not here to attend some so-called banquet. He could not be too high-profile or else he would lose his chance if the Palace of Evil Spirit noticed him.
He had promised Patriarch Gu that he would avenge him and he had always kept his promise.
What was more, Patriarch Gu had been treating Lu Li well and he treated Lu Li like his own son. Lu Li was touched and he made up his mind to avenge Patriarch Gu.
The young master of the Palace of Evil Spirit and Chou Qianjun's great grandpa was a patriarch of the Space-time Office. It would be difficult for Lu Li to kill Chou Qianjun.
If the Palace of Evil Spirit noticed him in advance, Lu Li would lose his chance, just like Patriarch Gu.
Therefore, Lu Li must keep a low profile. He refused without hesitation, "Brother Shi 'er, just let Qian Huanhan in. I have something to discuss with you. I will not go to the banquet."
"Are you sure?"
Lou Shi 'er was surprised. Many people would try their best to approach young masters and young ladies from prestigious families. Why was Lu Li not interested?
Was Lu Li from a prestigious family as well?
Or was he not into pretty girls?
Lu Li nodded with determination. Lou Shi 'er waved to a disciple of the Pavilion of Misty Drizzle and asked him to bring Qian Huanhan in while Lou Shi' er showed Lu Li to a small pavilion nearby.
Inside the pavilion, Lou Shi 'er activated the Inhibition Formation. He poured Lu Li a cup of tea and said, "What is it? Just say it!"
Lu Li stood up and cupped his fists. "Brother Shi 'er, I haven't thanked you enough for helping me out last time. I am ashamed that I have to trouble you again."
Lou Shi 'er pulled a long face. He glared at Lu Li and said, "If you keep this up, I will see you out!"
"Ha, ha, ha ~"
Lu Li grinned. He cut to the chase and asked, "Brother Shi 'er, do you know the talents on the list?"
"Isn't that obvious?"
Lou Shi 'er rolled his eyes. "I am still on the list. But I am ashamed to say that I am in the eighties.
The Cabinet of Mystery releases a list every three years. The Divinity List, the Beauty List, and the Genius List are the most valued. "
Lu Li was excited. "Do you know Lu Ling, the No.2 on the list?"
"Lu Ling?"
Lou Shi 'er was confused. He shook his head and said, "I don't have any information about her. I only know that she is a woman.
Furthermore, she wasn't even on the Beauty List. Was it because she wasn't beautiful enough or because she didn't want to be on the Beauty List?
In any case, this person is very mysterious. Our Misty Rain Pavilion does not have any detailed information on her. "
"Are you sure it's a woman?"
Lu Li was a bit excited. He had a feeling that this Lu Ling might be his sister.
He suddenly stood up and said, "Brother Twelve, this Lu Ling has come to the City of Divinity. Can you take me to see her?
You only need to see him from afar. You don't have to worry about anything else.
Please, this is very important to me! "
"This is a little difficult …"
Lou Shi 'er thought for a moment with his eyebrows knitted together. He stood up and said, "Sit here. I will go and see if I can meet her.
Saintess Xue is inside. I'll ask her if she has any ideas. "
"Alright!"
Lu Li nodded and watched as Lou Shi 'er left. Then, he paced up and down in the room nervously.
If he could meet that Lu Ling and make sure that she was his sister, everything would be worth it.
Time moved on. Lu Li was getting more and more impatient. Lou Shi 'er had been gone for over two hours. Why hadn't he come back?
Lu Li's heart was hanging in the air. If there was a way, Lou Shi 'er would have come back by now.
After the time for two incense sticks to burn, Lou Shi 'er finally hurried in. Lu Li's heart skipped a beat when he saw his expression.
As Lu Li had expected, Lou Shi 'er shook his head and said, "Lu Ling is here. But the force behind her is powerful. She is living in the manor in the backyard.
Holy Princess and I cannot go there unless my grandpa or Master of the Palace of Snow Mountain comes in person.
It is a pity that … my grandpa and Master of Snow Mountain are not here! "
"Eh!"
Lu Li blinked and asked, "Is there no other way?
Is it so hard to meet her? "
"There is a way!"
Lou Shi 'er said, "Tomorrow is the competition of craftsmen. If you can make it to the semi-finals, you will have a chance to go to the Fort of Divinity.
By then, many important people will be there. Maybe that Lu Ling will come. You will have a chance to meet her. "
"Semi-finals?"
Lu Li felt troubled. Both he and Qian Huanhan were not skilled enough. Lu Li had not even made a Relic. How could he make it to the semi-finals?
The competition of craftsmen was the grandest event for craftsmen in the Divinity. There must be many powerful warriors there.
What was more …
He did not want to take part in the competition at all because he could easily expose something, such as Tian Lingzi's book collection or Bloodvine!
Not even the Chamber of Relics could protect him if some important people coveted his book collection.
Also, who could guarantee that the big shots in the Chamber of Relics would not be interested in Tian Lingzi's book collection?
Lu Li thought about it and asked, "Is there really no other way?
How about I wait outside the City of Craftsmen? She has to go back, right? "
"Yes, she has to go back!"
Lou Shi 'er forced a smile. "But you will not be able to meet her. Since she is from a big force, I think she will teleport away from the inner city …"
"Alas!" Lu Li rubbed his forehead. "Is it easy to make it to the semi-finals?"
"Yes …"
Lou Shi 'er patted Lu Li's shoulder. "Usually, there will be at least one thousand participants in the competition. But only 10 of them can make it to the semi-finals.
That being said, the Craftsmen's Sect will reward you handsomely after you make it to the semi-finals. You will be sought after by many forces. You will be famous in the Divinity.
Brother Lu … don't push yourself. Just try your best. You will have more chances to meet Lu Ling in the future. "
"I understand."
Lu Li made up his mind. He would go to the competition tomorrow and try his best to make it to the semi-finals.
After all, on the surface, he was Qian Huanhan's servant and Qian Huanhan would be responsible for everything.
Even if there were patriarchs of the Craftsmen's Sect watching the preliminary round, there were so many participants. As long as he was careful, he would not be noticed.
As long as he could make it to the semi-finals, he would not have to do anything other than meet Lu Ling.
"Okay. Thank you, Brother Shi 'er. Tomorrow, I will go to the competition and try my best."
Lu Li cupped his fists and left to get ready. Out of curiosity, Lou Shi 'er asked, "Brother Lu, is Lu Ling … very important to you?"
Lu Li thought about it and nodded. "If she is the one I am looking for, then she must be very important, more important than my life!"
"I wish you good luck tomorrow and that you can make it to the semi-finals!"
Lou Shi 'er patted Lu Li's shoulder and walked out with him.
Lu Li did not go into the hall. He waited for Qian Huanhan outside. Back at the Heaven Reverse Universe, he hated this kind of banquet. Now, he was not in the mood to meet the so-called beauties on the list.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle ~"
A moment later, Qian Huanhan came out. He was supported by someone.
His face was burning and his eyes were blurred. He was shaking and his legs were weak. Clearly, he was drunk.
"I'm not drunk, I can still drink. Even if Miss Qi's toast is poison, I will still drink it, not to mention wine …"
Qian Huanhan murmured as he was supported. Lu Li shook his head.
This guy must have seen too many beauties and could not control himself. He must have gotten himself drunk.
When Qian Huanhan was next to Lu Li, he lost his strength. He threw himself at Lu Li and hugged him. He looked at Lu Li with fascination and said, "Lady Qi, you are so beautiful!
You are like the moon in the sky … "
"Slap ~"
Lu Li punched him in his abdomen to wake him up.
Qian Huanhan's Armor of Cold did not come out. He was in so much pain that he bent over like a shrimp …
…
