Chapter 73 - Improving Cultivation Base (Part One)
Jiang Aijian was startled. He looked at Lu Zhou incredulously. His legs felt weak as his guilty conscience weighed heavily on his mind. After a while, he chuckled and said, “Senior Ji, what are you talking about? Are you joking?”
Lu Zhou said slowly, enunciating each word clearly, “You’re from the palace.” He spoke in a tone that brooked no arguments as though he was certain of it.
Jiang Aijian’s heart skipped a beat. He forced a smile on his face as he said, “How is that possible…”
Lu Zhou did not bother to reply.
Jiang Aijian was smart. There was no need to waste words when speaking to someone smart. Jiang Aijian had known about the plans of the monks from the Temple of Great Emptiness. He knew about the grand ceremony. He also knew Zhuo Ping was from the palace. Most importantly, when he had boarded the carriage, he had said someone from the palace was around. Who else would be so familiar with the incident on the holy altar? Who else would know about the schemes of the palace?
Lu Zhou sent Mingshi Yin off with Whitzard while he remained behind. The elite from the palace had remained as well. The elite did not dare to act recklessly since Lu Zhou’s identity had been exposed. Someone had also been sending him information about the she-villain, Zhao Yue. Most importantly, when Jiang Aijian found out he was the master of the Evil Sky Pavilion, he was completely flustered since his plans were disrupted, and he began to panic. All these signs pointed to Jiang Aijian being from the palace.
“I’ve always been direct with my words… You’re smart so you should know what I mean,” Lu Zhou said calmly.
Jiang Aijian remained silent. His silence could be considered as his admission. Beating around the bush would only waste everyone’s time. He sighed before he said, “You’re very astute, Senior Ji.”
“I don’t know!”
“Is the Fiend Temple making any move?”
“Not for now.”
“Inform me right away if they’re making a move.”
“Understood!”
