Lu Li had put Mu Yingying in a difficult position. Even though she was an Immortal Lady, she did not have much power in the family.
Now, she was asked to make a decision, and this decision could bring war to the Mu family. How could she easily agree to it?
Lu Li smiled, waved his hand and said, "Lady Ying Ying, take it easy. Have some tea to calm yourself down."
Mu Yingying forced a smile. She picked up the tea and sipped it, but she didn't look normal. Lu Li said in a relaxed tone, "Yingying, let me analyze it with you. Do you think the Witch Palace has the ability to fight against the two forces?
The Rakshasa Palace and the Hell Palace had just fought a great battle. "
"Uh …"
Mu Yingying was not used to Lu Li calling her so affectionately, but she was moved by his words.
Lu Li's words made sense. The Palace of Rakshasa and the Hell Palace had just fought and both sides suffered great losses.
Most importantly … if the Luosha Palace and the Mu Clan were to start a war, how could the Hell Palace sit back and do nothing?
At that time, the Rakshasa Palace would have to bear the attacks of the two great forces.
Devil Palace could not afford it!
Having reached this conclusion, Mu Yingying felt relieved. Seeing that Mu Yingying's expressions had changed, Lu Li continued, "The Palace of Rakshasa will not fight. They don't have the guts to fight against two forces at the same time. At the most, they will ask for an explanation from the Mu Family.
The problem was … there was no evidence for this. The Mu family could push the blame away. They could say that they didn't know anything. They could say that I cracked it myself, or that I found someone to crack it.
So many powerhouses came to the birthday celebration this time, who can guarantee that there are no experts who can break the Mysterious Heaven Talisman? "
"Yes!"
Mu Yingying's eyes lit up. Without evidence, who could say for sure? Everyone had their reasons, and the Mu Family could completely push the blame away.
"If you are really worried, I can cooperate with you!"
Lu Li reassured Mu Yingying. He said, "I can leave a letter saying that I solved it myself. You can send the letter to the Palace of Rakshasa. In this way, even if the Palace of Rakshasa knows about it, they cannot make trouble for you. They can only suffer in silence and bear grudges against you.
If I remember correctly … the relationship between the Rakshasa Palace and the Mu family isn't very good, right?
Are you afraid that Luosha Palace will hold a grudge? "
Mu Yingying nodded slightly. The Mu Family and Rakshasa Palace had fought in the past, and both sides bore grudges. The Mu Family was also a large faction, so how could they be afraid of Rakshasa Palace bearing grudges?
"Most importantly!"
Lu Li said with a smile, "You have overestimated the influence of me, the God's Son, in the Luo Luo Palace. As a matter of fact … I am just a tool that the Palace Lord used to suppress the families of the Luo Luo Palace. Otherwise, why would the Palace Lord plant the Mysterious Heaven Talisman in me?
I'm just a Divine Son with no background. If I were to leave, the upper echelons of Devil Palace would be happy, so I won't bring you any trouble. "
"On the other hand, the Nine Strange Mountain … If you miss this opportunity, there won't be another one. If I give the Nine Strange Mountain to the Palace Lord, you will never be able to get it. How about it, Ying Ying, do you want it?"
Lu Li was like a strange uncle trying to trick a little girl. His tone made Mu Yingying blush again. Still, she didn't say yes easily. She kept on thinking.
After a full three incense sticks' worth of time, Mu Yingying finally spoke, "Can I find someone to help you undo it? It's not very convenient for me to undo it."
"No!"
Lu Li said firmly. He even put away the mountains and said with certainty, "Only you can do it. If the news gets out, I will give the Nine Strange Mountain to Chief Patriarch right away. You won't be able to take it away from me."
Lu Li's words made Mu Yingying hesitate again. After a while, she made up her mind and said, "Okay, I will do it for you. But not today. I need to get ready. Tomorrow night.
I need one night and I can't do it here. Let's go to my place. It's safe there. When I undo the Black Heaven Talisman, no one can disturb me. "
"No problem!"
Lu Li nodded. Then he put on a cold expression and said seriously, "Lady Yingying, I hope you can understand that I have a Ghost King in my Interspatial Ring. I have taken control of the Nine Strange Mountain. It will be a piece of cake for me to destroy it.
I don't want anything to go wrong. You are the only one who knows about this. If I find out that someone else knows, I will destroy the Nine Strange Mountain right away. "
"I know!"
Mu Yingying nodded. She bowed to Lu Li and said, "The Nine Strange Mountain is very important to the Mu Family. Thank you so much, Divine Son Lu."
"We are just taking what we need!"
Lu Li stood up, waved his hand and said, "I will leave now. Lady Yingying, I will leave now. Sweet dreams."
"You too, Divine Son Lu!"
Mu Yingying watched Lu Li leave. She was still excited.
Lu Li suddenly turned back, looked at Mu Yingying and said, "Right, I forgot to tell Yingying one thing."
"What is it?" Mu Yingying asked in surprise.
"Yingying, you are really beautiful!"
Lu Li said with a straight face, "If it were not for the fact that I have to leave, I would pursue you. Ha, ha, ha, ha!"
Lu Li left with a laugh. Mu Yingying was both embarrassed and angry. Lu Li's flirting caught her off guard.
All the young masters she met were from famous families. Which one of them wasn't well-mannered?
How could Lu Li act like a hooligan in broad daylight?
Lu Li had left. He found Yuan Lingyun and left. Mu Yingying was still standing in the pavilion. She might not be able to fall asleep tonight.
…
Lu Li didn't sleep even after he came back. He didn't think Mu Yingying would do anything rash, but who knew if something could go wrong?
Tomorrow night would be a critical night. He could be smashed into pieces if something went wrong.
Yuan Lingyun didn't say anything after she sent him back. She was a smart girl and she knew what to ask and what not to ask.
Judging by Lu Li's looks, he must have made a deal. She was both disappointed and excited.
She had some desire to be the Goddess. But would it affect her promotion if she helped Lu Li to leave?
Also, she had mixed feelings about Lu Li. She didn't want him to leave, but at the same time, she wanted him to leave …
When Lu Li came back, the patriarchs hadn't come back yet. He went back to his residence in peace and began closed-door cultivation, waiting for the arrival of tomorrow.
There was another gathering the next day, but Lu Li didn't go. He had been cultivating in his room. He told others that he didn't want to have any conflict with Su Yueqin. Liu Qianqian and the others all expressed their understanding.
Yuan Lingyun and the others went to the gathering. The patriarchs weren't there. Lu Li waited quietly in his yard. At night, a warrior suddenly sneaked into Lu Li's yard like a ghost.
"God Lu, our Goddess wants to see you!"
The dark-faced man cupped his fists to Lu Li in silence. Lu Li waved his hand and said, "Show me the way!"
The dark-faced man said nothing. He led Lu Li out of the yard and walked toward the back of the mountain.
With a token in his hand, Lu Li could move freely in the back of the mountain. He entered a yard with ease.
As soon as he entered the yard, Lu Li used the trace of Dao to sense it. He was relieved to make sure that there was no powerful warrior in the yard and that Mu Yingying was alone.
Lu Li went into an attic filled with a faint fragrance. Clearly, this was Mu Yingying's room. Mu Yingying blushed unnaturally when she saw Lu Li.
