1685 Sounding Ou (2/2)
”But they are looking after Wu Dong now, if he dies for no reason...” Li Yumei said.
”I'm a Poison Mage; how difficult will it be to make him die a reasonable death?” Lu Zhuo sniffed.
”But not everyone in the Foehn Hunter Squad is as dumb as Xie Hao!” Li Yumei said.
Gu Ying had always had a strong grudge against Li Yumei and Lu Zhuo. She would never believe their words so easily!
”It depends on whether or not they know their place...” Lu Zhuo harrumphed.
”What do you mean?” Li Yumei asked curiously.
Lu Zhuo grinned coldly in response to the question.
Li Yumei had already guessed Lu Zhuo's intention from his expression. She was shocked once again.
How many similar deeds had Lu Zhuo done in the past? Why did he keep rewriting her impression of him!?
”Don't panic. Gu Ying might notice something is wrong because of you,” Lu Zhuo reminded when he saw Li Yumei's reaction.
”But… I'm scared!” Li Yumei admitted.
Lu Zhuo shook his head and said helplessly, ”There's nothing to be scared of. Forget it, I'll go meet the Foehn Hunter Squad and sound them out first.”
”Oh, alright, but how do I excuse myself now?” Li Yumei asked.

”We haven't had anything to drink since we left the Cave Island. Li Yumei, go get some water from the spring,” Lu Zhuo said.
”Oh, alright,” Li Yumei nodded and received the water pouches from him.
Xie Hao did not think too much about it. He could tell that the two had yet to recover from the shock. It must be torturous if they had not drunk for so long.
”We have water too,” Xie Hao offered them.
”It's fine, the spring is cool and refreshing. We need it to calm our minds,” Lu Zhuo said firmly.

Gu Ying immediately noticed the unwanted guest Lu Zhuo after they arrived at the Foehn Hunter Squad's tent.
The thing that had troubled Gu Ying the most was the whereabouts of Li Yumei and Lu Zhuo.
They were the leaders of the Cangjin Hunter Squad. Did they die in the cave too, or did they manage to escape from the danger?
Gu Ying noticed Lu Zhuo's miserable look and the light injuries on his body. He did seem like he had been in some kind of trouble.
”It's good to see you all,” Lu Zhuo continued with his act.
Gu Ying was suspicious, just as Lu Zhuo had expected. She asked, ”Why are you well and alive here?”
”Do I look well?” Lu Zhuo said with a wry smile.
Lu Zhuo had inflicted the injuries on himself. He was not an idiot. Hurting himself was the most basic way to trick others!
