"Brother?"
Lu Ling rested for a while and opened her eyes. She stared at Lu Li's face and asked with uncertainty, "Are you really my brother?"
Lu Li nodded and said, "Sister, you are Lu Ling and I am Lu Li. Our father is Lu Renhuang. We are disciples of the Lu Family, the most powerful defensive Bloodline at the Central Plains.
We were born in the Di Long Tribe of the Heaven Martial Kingdom at the Northern Desert … Take your time. Don't worry. I can tell you many things in detail … "
Lu Ling frowned. Her eyes were filled with confusion and pain. She murmured to herself, "My name is Lu Ling?
Lu Renhuang, the Northern Desert, the Lu Family, the Di Long Tribe … they all sound familiar to me. But … why can't I remember them?
Could it be that my memory was really sealed? "
The more she thought about it, the more pain she felt. She put her hand on her forehead and rubbed her temple with her ring finger.
Lu Li stopped after a while. He was afraid that something might happen to her soul so he didn't say too much.
Now, he had given her a lot of inspiration. She could think back slowly and unlock the seal on her memory.
"Ah?"
Lu Ling suddenly closed her eyes, shook her head in pain and said, "I can't think about it anymore. I can't or my head will explode."
Seeing that she was about to fall, Lu Li stood up and helped her up. He helped her into the inner hall and had her sit down. He poured her a cup of tea and said, "Sis, don't worry. If you can't remember now, don't think about it.
I will take you out of the Drifting Cloud Hall in a couple of days. I will take you back to the Northern Desert and find someone to unlock the seal on your soul. "
"Leave the Drifting Cloud Hall?"
Lu Ling's eyes became clearer. She shook her head and said, "I cannot go. Before the war is over, I will not go anywhere.
You … leave the Drifting Cloud City first. I will have someone send you out. You can come back when the war is over. "
"But …"
Lu Li hesitated for a bit. Then he shook his head and said with determination, "No, sister!
I will not leave you even if I have to die. The Drifting Cloud City is too dangerous. I cannot let you stay here.
Sister, don't worry. As long as you go back to the Northern Desert with me, not even the Master of the Palace of Sun will dare to go there. It is absolutely safe there. "
"Stop it!"
She said in a cold voice, "I will not go with you no matter if you are my brother or not.
I will not leave Drifting Cloud City until the war is over. There is no room for discussion.
Since you don't want to leave, then stay in Drifting Cloud City.
Hmm … let's not talk about this for now. We'll talk about it after the battle. You shouldn't stay here for too long. You should leave first! "
"Sis!" Lu Li shouted anxiously.
She said coldly, "Don't waste time. Let's talk after the war is over.
Tidy yourself up first, I'll send someone to escort you out. "
Seeing how determined she was, Lu Li had no choice but to take out the bronze mirror and the potion Ye Cha prepared for him to change his appearance. Unfortunately, he was not good at disguising himself. He looked much younger now.
However, the sky was dark, and if one didn't look carefully, one wouldn't be able to see much difference.
"Aunt Li!"
Lu Ling checked with psychic power. The door of the side chamber was opened and the old maid walked in.
Lu Ling waved her hand and said, "He is indeed an old acquaintance of mine. This time, he has given me a very important piece of information.
Escort him out. Also … don't tell anyone else about this. Otherwise, I will kill you. "
Lu Li looked at Lu Ling coldly. He knew it was pointless to say anything else.
Clearly, Lu Ling didn't want to remember the past. She had to wait until after the war.
Since her memory was sealed, she didn't have deep feelings for Lu Li. Even if Lu Li were to kneel in front of her, she wouldn't say a word.
Lu Ling's temper was still the same. She was very opinionated. Once she made up her mind, nothing could change her mind.
Lu Li had no choice but to give her a meaningful look and follow Mammy Li out.
Nanny Li didn't send Lu Li out of the hall. Instead, she asked a secret guard to escort him.
After Lu Li left, Lu Ling walked out of the side chamber and said again, "Send Ying 17 to protect him. He is very important. Don't let him leave the city and don't let anything happen to him."
Even though Nanny Li was confused, she didn't dare to ask. She had to order someone else.
After Nanny Li left, Lu Ling stood at the door of the hall by herself. Looking at where Lu Li left, she murmured, "Younger brother?
I have a younger brother?
He is so familiar to me and yet so strange. It seems that my memory is sealed.
Well … I cannot be distracted before the war. I cannot think about it anymore. I will think about it after the war. "
Lu Ling sighed. She turned around and walked into the side chamber, leaving behind a faint fragrance.
…
Lu Li didn't see Lady Seven when he walked out of the Drifting Cloud Hall. Nobody would make things difficult for him since he was escorted by secret guards.
He stood at the gate of the Drifting Cloud Hall in a daze for a moment. Then, he walked back to his residence.
Lu Ling insisted on talking about it after the war. Lu Li had no choice but to go back.
He walked for an hour and returned to Meng Ji's yard. On his way back, he thought about many things.
It was not that Lu Ling didn't trust him. It seemed that she had accepted him as her younger brother to a great extent. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked Nanny Li to escort him out.
Lu Ling must have played an important role in the war. Lady Seven said that those old guys trusted Lu Ling, which was proof of this.
Lu Ling didn't want other things to disturb her state of mind when the war was imminent.
Therefore, she chose to leave this matter alone for now. She would find a way to undo the seal after the war was over or she could go through her memories with him.
Lu Li didn't mind waiting for a few more days after he had waited for two years.
However, what if the Drifting Cloud Hall lost the war?
How could the three forces let go of Lu Ling, the Saintess?
This war would definitely attract the attention of the Palace of Sun. Even though the Palace of Sun pretended to be indifferent, they must have Human Sovereign Realm warriors lurking nearby. They could take control of the situation and intervene at any time.
Therefore …
Lu Li was worried about Lu Ling's safety.
Asking God of Meng to come and take her away?
That was not realistic!
God of Meng could not show up easily. Otherwise, none of Ye Cha and the others could leave.
For a moment, Lu Li was worried. The only fortunate thing was that he was sure that Lu Ling was the Saintess. Finally, he could meet her.
"My sister has always been good at strategies. She cares so much about this war. Is she sure that she can win?"
Lu Li thought of one possibility. Lu Ling was smart. For example, in the war at the Di Long Tribe, she had laid out her plan several years ago. In the end, Lu Li defeated the enemy easily, even though he was outnumbered.
It was the same at the Wu Ling County. As far as Lu Li was concerned, Lu Ling was better at planning and strategizing than anyone he had ever met.
The Drifting Cloud Hall only had two Human Sovereign Realm warriors while the three forces had three. But Lu Ling didn't seem to be worried at all.
Also, she had asked him to stay at the Drifting Cloud Hall, which meant that she wasn't worried about him.
In other words — she wasn't worried that the Drifting Cloud Hall would lose!
"Never mind, never mind ~"
Lu Li thought about it and decided to wait and see. If worse came to worst, he could take Lu Ling away by force.
Lu Li would be satisfied even if he and Lu Ling died together.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Lu Li's thoughts were interrupted by some hurried noises. Someone was knocking on the door. Lu Li checked with psychic power and sensed a slim figure.
