Su Yueqin had indeed come looking for trouble. Her injuries from last time were too severe and damaged her foundation. She had been recuperating in seclusion and had only come out a few days ago.
The Goddess had an esteemed status, and as soon as she came out of seclusion, there were naturally people who came to greet her. Many people also talked about that battle, and most of them were flattering and praising her, saying that Su Yueqin's combat prowess was formidable, and that she was able to kill Old Devil Xia.
Of course, there were some who let slip that Lu Li had saved her and asked her to thank him when she had the time. She could not lose her dignity as a goddess.
Su Yueqin had forgotten about Lu Li at first. She only remembered after someone reminded her.
She sent someone to investigate at once and learned about Lu Li's current situation.
She was enraged. As far as she could tell, she used the last of her strength to kill Monster Xia, not Lu Li.
Lu Li, the thief, had run away several times without caring about her life or death.
A person who was originally a sinner actually became the hero who saved her?
At this moment, she was even promoted. How could Su Yueqin endure this?
Immediately, she angrily teleported to Yama City and found Hall Master Chen in the prison camp.
Su Yueqin was rational enough to not yell at Lu Li in the valley and ask him to get out.
She brought the three of them into the castle with a serious face. Hou San saw that something was wrong and quickly ran into the castle to report to Lu Li.
Lu Li didn't panic after he was alarmed. He would deal with the situation as it came. Worse came to worst, he could just give up his job as a commander.
Old Devil Xia's strongest attack was indeed his. This Su Yueqin wouldn't bite the hand that fed her, right?
He straightened his robe, walked out of the castle hall, and waited quietly.
Soon, a whiff of fragrance wafted over, and Su Yueqin led the three into the castle.
Lu Li bowed calmly and said, "Greetings, Goddess, Lords, Clan Leader Chen."
After bowing, Hou San felt that the atmosphere wasn't right, so he quietly left, leaving the hall to them.
Su Yueqin expressionlessly walked to the main seat, and a divine power flew out to open the castle's restriction.
Then she looked at Lu Li coldly and said, "Fourth Brother Lu, do you know your crime?"
Lu Li remained calm. He stood up straight and said, "What are you talking about, Holy Lady?
I don't know what crime I've committed. "
"Hmph!"
Su Yueqin's body surged with killing intent as she coldly said: "You fled twice in the face of battle. You still dare to disobey this goddess' order?
Then he falsely claimed credit for killing Old Devil Xia?
You're really thick-skinned. Is this commander's position comfortable? "
"I'm not feeling well!"
Lu Li said calmly, "One order from the Goddess and I will be gone.
As for what the Goddess said … some of it was true. I did escape. If I didn't escape, I would have died.
Old Devil Xia's battle prowess was too strong. Could it be that I have to die just because the Goddess wants me to die?
In addition, the one who sent Old Devil Xia on his way was indeed me. The Goddess's final attack heavily injured Old Devil Xia, but he didn't die.
If it wasn't for me, would the Goddess still be sitting here peacefully?
I remember that the corpse of Old Xia was brought back, right?
You can go and take a look. Did he die from your attack or mine? "
"Uh …"
Su Yueqin was taken aback. She had thought that Lu Li would be scared out of his wits when she came to question him.
Little did she expect that Lu Li wouldn't change his expression and would argue for what was right. She could not refute him.
She turned to a patriarch, one of the patriarchs that went to rescue her.
That patriarch thought about it and said, "Goddess, according to the analysis of the corpse, it seems that Old Devil Xia did not die under the Heaven Universe Sword. His head was smashed by a strong force. I think it was Lu Si who killed him."
Su Yueqin said nothing. She was embarrassed and soon, her embarrassment turned into anger.
She was here to denounce Lu Li, but she was rendered speechless. Lu Li was guilty of deserting in the face of danger, but it was a fact that he had saved her — even though Lu Li only took advantage of the situation. If she didn't injure Demon Xia, Lu Li wouldn't have been able to kill him.
Su Yueqin felt aggrieved. She felt that she had been beaten up and there was no place for her to reason with.
She took a deep breath and said, "I don't care if you killed Old Devil Xia or not. Disobeying orders is a serious crime. You did not save him and disobeyed orders. These two are enough to kill you."
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Lu Li laughed and said in an unruly manner, "Kill me?
I saved you and you want to kill me?
Do you think you can control anyone's life or death just because you are a Goddess?
Do you think that everyone from the Underworld Palace will die for you?
Do you think many people will kneel to you when you give the order?
Fine, kill me then, kill me. I want to see — if the news of the Goddess of the Hell Palace biting the hand that fed her and killing her savior spreads, how will you continue to stay in Rakshasa Sea? "
"How dare you!"
A patriarch could not help but scold. Lu Li was too arrogant. Under other circumstances, the patriarch would have slapped Lu Li.
But given the current situation, he could not do anything. Otherwise, people would know that the Hell Palace was biting the hand that fed them.
"Courting death!"
Su Yueqin's killing intent was getting stronger. She pulled out her Heaven Universe Sword and was about to cut Lu Li.
"Goddess, don't be impulsive!"
A patriarch said at once, "Fourth Young Master Lu is just a nobody. Killing him will affect your reputation.
Now, everyone at the Hell Palace knows that he saved you. If you kill him, you will not be able to clear your name. Everyone here has seen you. Unless you kill everyone here … "
"Phew, phew!"
Su Yueqin kept taking breaths to force herself to calm down.
The patriarch was right. Lu Li was just a nobody. Killing him wouldn't make much sense. Instead, it would affect her reputation.
Lu Li was betting that Su Yueqin wouldn't dare to kill him. He didn't care about the position of a team leader and he didn't want to stay here for long.
He said calmly, "Goddess, patriarchs, Master Chen, about that, I was wrong. I don't have the face to stay at the Hell Palace any longer. Please let me out.
I promise you that I will not talk nonsense from now on. I will leave the Devil Sea and find a place to stay. "
Lu Li was not retreating for the sake of advancing. He really wanted to leave.
Su Yueqin had come to him. It seemed that he would not have a good life in the future. If so, then he must leave. Otherwise, he would be tortured to death.
"Eh …"
Master Chen and the two patriarchs were stunned. They were hesitating.
Lu Li had offended Su Yueqin. It was a good thing to let him go, in case Su Yueqin would kill him out of anger. That would be a bad influence.
"Ha, ha!"
Su Yueqin smiled and did not say anything. She turned and walked outside. After opening the restriction, she turned and said, "Commander Lu, don't worry. I won't make trouble for you in the future. You can stay on Hell Island with peace of mind."
Lu Li's heart was weighed down. It seemed that Su Yueqin was furious. She didn't want him to leave. She was going to punish him secretly.
He was right!
Su Yueqin teleported back to the Hell City with the two patriarchs. Su Yueqin ordered Master Chen at once, "Master Chen, send someone to keep an eye on him these days. Don't let him get away. I will transfer him away in a couple of days."
"Transfer?
To where? "
Master Chen was surprised. Su Yueqin put on a cold smile and said, "He wants to run?
Not so easy. I will transfer him to the Valley of Ghosts and let him have a good time there! "
"Valley of Ghosts?"
