410 Soaking Naked in Public Bath (1/2)

”In short, things are not like what you think.”

After stopping Wang Lu through powerful means, using both hard and soft tactics to urge him to return back to Sacred Leaf residence, Zhan Ziye finally said those words after pondering for a long time.

However, upon listening to this, Wang Lu pondered and said with a frown, ”Things are not like what I think?”

Sacred Leaf Shaman had already put on her clothes, yet she still had a somewhat crimson face. She strenuously said in a soft voice, ”I know that it's easy to misunderstand that scene, but things are really not like what you think!”

A bit surprised, Wang Lu looked at Shaman. ”Even you said so?”

With that, Wang Lu was lost in thought and then softly muttered, ”I initially thought that you two were learning about each other's method, to accelerate the healing with healing technique, or that Senior Brother Ziye was reorganizing your method for you. But since both of you said that things are not like what I think… then it looks like A Ye had indeed worn the green hat.”

”Wait a minute!” Zhan Ziye was stunned. ”You thought that we're learning each other's method to accelerate the healing?”

Wang Lu sighed. ”Is it really too deviant, deviating from common sense?”

”No, I just thought that, with your character, it is so unlikely for you to actually come up with such a normal and reasonable conjecture!” Zhan Ziye was filled with emotion. ”According to my sect's analysis about you, your first reaction should be… along illicit affair thing.”

When it came to the words illicit affair, Zhan Ziye was a bit awkward, and Shaman was also blushing with shame and turning her head around. Although just now, she indeed did not do anything detrimental to her husband, nevertheless, it was still too embarrassing.

Wang Lu said, ”If Senior Brother Zhiye were to be replaced by another man, I would certainly think so. The problem is that, the men from Ten Thousand Arts Sect are always doomed to live a lonely life, a virgin till death. So, of course, you, as the lead disciple of Ten Thousand Arts Sect, certainly couldn't do such a thing, there's simply no need for me to guess.”

Zhan Ziye revealed a complex look. ”I really can't bring myself to be happy after hearing that.”

Wang Lu said, ”You're unhappy? Let me put it in another way: Congratulations for obtaining a brand new life experience in successfully sleeping with a beautiful young married woman. I will help you cover this up in front of A Ye. By the way, my Master also left me with all kinds of super drugs, if you want to liven things up…”

”... Forget it, I am doomed to live a lonely life.”

—

”In short, why are you looking for me this time?”

After barely lifting the misunderstanding, Zhan Ziye had to ask Wang Lu's intention.

Although it was all just a misunderstanding, if Wang Lu just really came to play with him, then Zhan Ziye would get angry for real.

”Oh, you want to talk about serious matter? Okay then, the main thing is, I just want to warn you two injured people to be careful because Shengjing Sect team might regroup and come back again.”

Zhan Ziye immediately turned serious. ”Shengjing Sect team? What's going on?”

Wang Lu said, ”Simply speaking, the circumstance forced them. They have to act to prove their worth. Their previous surprise attack was not under the incitement of Golden City, but instead, it was entirely on their own initiative. And this happened when the two sides were in a delicate stalemate. Because Golden City has its own strategic layout, it does not want anyone to complicate it. If Shengjing Sect team has a successful fight and managed to kill one or two spirit Masters then triumphantly returned with this achievement, even the Master of Golden City would have nothing to say. Unfortunately, their result is far from ideal. After paying a painful price, they also didn't bring any substantial result. Instead, they caused trouble to Golden City.”

Zhan Ziye furrowed his brows, his analysis of the situation was somewhat slow. However, Shaman was already about to understand all of this. ”Although A Ye and I suffered a heavy blow, Golden City is having an all-out war against Flaming Valley so they can't muster the strength to exploit this. Therefore, our serious injury is meaningless to Golden City. On the contrary, A Ye's revenge actually causes them an actual loss.”

Wang Lu said, ”Therefore, the Master of Golden City is furious toward Shengjing Sect people for their arbitrary initiative. And if Shengjing Sect people want to save the situation, they must prove their worth. Now, they only have three choices: follow the order of the Master of Golden City in going into the battlefield to directly battle against the barbarians of Flaming Valley, to intercept and kill A Ye, or to aim at you again. Amongst these three options, frontal fight against Flaming Valley is simply suicide. A Ye is like a ghost, so unless Qiong Hua herself makes a move, it is difficult to catch him. Only you two who are very relaxed in recuperating in the Eternal Tree are the best targets.”

Shaman said, ”Eternal Tree has always been successfully protected by the Sacred Leaves, it is not at all an open place like Harmony River, so you don't need to worry about our security.”

”Okay, no need to worry about it then.” Wang Lu shrugged his shoulder. ”You two can continue with your business, I'll just take my leave.”

With that, Wang Lu immediately flew away with his flying sword, leaving behind the two Master-follower who were still somewhat at a loss.

”Did he… deliberately come here just to remind us that?”

Zhan Ziye said, ”According to the data, Wang Lu, this person, has always been unexpected. It's difficult to gauge him using common sense. But, the data also shows that, although he is unpredictable, he seldom does useless work. By rushing over here, he...”

Upon saying this, Zhan Ziye's complexion suddenly turned dark. Because he suddenly thought that, was it possible that Wang Lu had concluded that he and Shaman were in the process of rebuilding the foundation, thus had to be in a compromising position, and therefore specifically came here to collect evidence?

At the end of the day, in the five spirits power struggle, there was only one winner. Currently, Golden City had already been sucked into the mire, meaning that they already began to decline. Thus, naturally, the several forces in the alliance would move their focus away from Golden City, including himself. Wasn't the reason he spent his time to train Shaman just so that they would be able to compete against Wang Lu?

If at this time Wang Lu let this news pass on to A Ye, then… the consequences would really be difficult to predict. At least, the handbook compiled and given to him by his Sect's Elders before taking his journey did not record the measure to counter this.

While he was thinking, suddenly, Shaman from behind loudly exclaimed, ”Oh heavens!”

”What's the matter?”

”Just now when Wang Lu came here, I didn't hear any report about it. At first, I thought he held the token, so no one stopped him, but just now…” Shaman said, and then felt that her throat somewhat dried up. ”Just now when he left, I suddenly received the alarm from the nightingale sentinel, saying that a person without the token has just left the Eternal Tree, thus asking me on how to deal with it.”

Zhan Ziye froze for a moment, but was then immediately startled. ”You mean, without the token, he managed to sneak in all the way here?”
