Having said this, Xuannv paused, then leaned forward and asked with a heavy sense of oppression: "You and him, more than just the same name, right? You... are that Jiang Lu!"
"What...what Jiang Lu?" Now it was Jiang Lu's turn to panic.
He remembered that Xuannv was the person who hated him the most in Kunlun Mountain. He dared to show his disapproval just now because he knew the other party's temper. She was one of the most upright people in the fairy world, so even if she did such a ridiculous thing, she would never harm him even though she was in the wrong. She would even conceal the matter and pretend nothing had happened. It was equivalent to getting something for free and he did not lose anything at all.
But if she knew who I was, things would be different. She might even settle all the new and old grudges together.
"Stop pretending. I've known about you and Lu Qing for a long time." Xuannv's eyes were full of sarcasm.
"what?!"
Jiang Lu was shocked: "My phone was always with me, how did you see those videos?"
Xuannv was startled: "What video?"
"Oh, it's okay then." Jiang Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Jiang Lu thought about it again and remembered Xuan Nu's quirk. He suddenly realized what was going on and blurted out, "No! You were peeping again!"
"It's really you!"
Xuan Nu finally caught Jiang Lu talking out of turn, and she stood up and pointed at him indignantly: "Tell me! What is your plan this time?!"
Jiang Lu looked up at Xuannv and said nothing.
After a brief silence, he grabbed the bellyband beside him and used it to block Xuannv's thing that was shaking constantly due to her large movements.
"Don't try to hypnotize me." Jiang Lu said, "Do you think this is a pocket watch?"
Xuannv blushed and quickly put on her clothes, cursing, "Evildoer!"
Seeing that he had been exposed, Jiang Lu stopped pretending.
"How do you feel?" he asked.
"What does it feel like?"
"It's just...how should I put it?" He was a little embarrassed: "You experienced what your master experienced, how did it feel?"
Xuan Nu was silent for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "You are so evil."
"Don't you think you are even worse?" Jiang Lu asked back, "You are a traitor if you forcibly take my master."
"This...this is because..." Xuannv fell into a disadvantage again.
"It's okay. I don't mind." Jiang Lu shrugged. "So what? What are you going to do? Let me make it clear first. I definitely don't have any conspiracy. I'm here just to find some memories from the past. You just happened to run into me. As for what happened afterwards, I can only say it was a complete accident and it's not my fault."
He shirked his responsibility in just a few words and there was nothing wrong with it.
Xuannv just stared at him.
After a long while, she sighed, sat back on the bed, and asked, "Why are you like this now, so...weak?"
"It's very complicated, and I can't explain it in a few words." Jiang Lu smiled very casually: "But it will get better."
"So you are here to ask Master for help this time?"
Jiang Lu shook his head: "On the contrary, I'm here to help her."
"Help her?" Xuannv looked Jiang Lu up and down with a look of disdain: "How can you help her in your current state?"
"It's true that I'm very weak now, but you can't not come just because I'm weak, right?"
Jiang Lu said righteously, "You did it knowing it was impossible, and sacrificed yourself for justice. This is not letting me down, and not letting her down either."
Xuannv was distracted for a moment, and seeing how sincere he was, she couldn't help but doubt. Could it be that they were really in love?
Thinking of this, she also asked curiously: "What are you going to help her with? How are you going to help her?"
"It's like this." Jiang Lu explained seriously, "Before I went up the mountain, I supervised a case with the Kunlun Law Enforcement Bureau. It was related to the Hehuan Sect. They controlled innocent people and wanted to use lust to bring disaster to the world. At this moment, Kunlun Town has become a mess, and the turmoil is even spreading. I am really worried."
"What does this have to do with Master?"
"It's a big deal."
Jiang Lu said seriously:
“I won’t talk about the impact of Kunlun Town on Kunlun Mountain.
Before I came here, by chance, a major case was solved in Nanjiang City. Someone used gambling to cause trouble in the Sanqing Realm. Who do you think was the mastermind behind this?"
"Who?"
"Dong Wanggong."
Jiang Lu pretended not to know about the letter and analyzed it in a pretentious manner:
“And he told me that Yuanshi Tianzun asked him to do all this.
Later, I investigated and found out that there was a kind of drug made by the Ten Thousand Poison Sect circulating in the northwest, which had harmed many people and caused chaos. It was suspected to be the work of Yuanshi Tianzun.
I thought about it and realized that your master and Dong Wanggong were both supporters of Yuanshi Tianzun. As a result, he had three plans for prostitution, gambling and drugs, but he called Dong Wanggong instead of your master. I was worried that he might do something bad to your master.
I was really worried, so I wanted to come and see if I could meet the Queen Mother of the West and discuss things with her, but I didn't expect to run into you here."
After saying this, knowing that Xuannv had read the letter, he deliberately emphasized: "Don't disbelieve it. Although it sounds outrageous, it is indeed the truth. I will never joke about your master."
As expected, after hearing Jiang Lu's words, Xuan Nu was shocked at first, and then said excitedly: "I believe it! I believe what you said is true!"
"Oh? You actually believe me? The sun really rises from the west." Jiang Lu pretended to be surprised.
"I don't believe you, I believe the evidence."
Xuannv immediately replied:
“But you’ve guessed one thing wrong. It’s not that Master was not summoned by Yuanshi Tianzun, but she didn’t do what Yuanshi Tianzun asked her to do.
Yuanshi Tianzun sent her a letter, but she just glanced at it and ignored it. "
"Oh? There is such a thing?" Jiang Lu was very shocked.
"I didn't think much about it at first, but after hearing what you said, it seems that it's not that simple..."
Xuannv thought for a moment:
"Such a huge impact has almost covered all the borders of the Three Pure Ones Realm and is spreading towards the interior. We can't just sit back and watch. Come with me and see Master first."
"I'm...not convenient now." Jiang Lu looked embarrassed and smiled bitterly: "I really don't want to see her in my current miserable state. In fact, if I hadn't met you, I would have wanted to remain invisible forever."
"Be an invisible person and contribute silently?"
"Yes."
Seeing Jiang Lu's inferiority complex, which was in stark contrast to his former arrogance, Xuannv felt very complicated.
Logically, she should be happy and laugh at him, but for some reason, she couldn't laugh at all.
"But...is this really okay?"
"That's it..." Jiang Lu sighed, "I'm satisfied."
Xuannv was lost in thought for a long time, but finally nodded and decided to put aside the past grudges: "I understand, I will help you."
Chapter 349 Master and Apprentice
After agreeing on the meeting time every day, Jiang Lu put on the new clothes that Xuannv had transformed with her magic power and skipped back to his cave.
"It really fits the old saying that it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. After resolving the hatred of the past, I always feel a lot more relaxed."
After throwing back the quilt, Jiang Lu put his hands behind his head and fell backwards.
Unexpectedly, he did not sink firmly into the soft mattress, but was hit by something. Although that thing had several soft places, it still hurt him.
If it was a dead object, it would be fine, but the key point is that this thing seemed to be alive. As it was pressed down by Jiang Lu, it let out a scream.
"I'll test it!"
Jiang Lu jumped up, touching his aching back while opening his eyes wide to see what was on the bed.
But before he could ask who the evildoer was, the person on the bed started to scream: "What's going on?"
"Uh..." Jiang Lu didn't know what the other party was asking, so he said randomly: "Because the force is mutual."
The next second, the bedside lamp was turned on. Jiang Lu looked closely and found that it was Zhu Zhen.
She kept rubbing the side of her waist that was hit, and it hurt so much that tears were about to fall.
"Don't you even check if there's anyone on the bed?!"
she asked angrily.
Jiang Lu tilted his head: "No, I was thinking, isn't this my home? Then is there anyone else in my bed besides me?"
"Hmm?" Zhu Zhen looked like he hadn't woken up yet, with a scripture in his arms, and he didn't seem to understand the situation.
After looking around, she was shocked and stuck out her tongue awkwardly: "Yeah... But it's so strange, I feel like the feeling just now is a little familiar."
Recalling the incident that had knocked Zhu Zhen unconscious before, Jiang Lu quickly brought the topic back and asked seriously:
"Whatever, why are you in my bed?"
Jiang Lu looked around and asked in a low voice, "Your senior sister asked you to test me, right? Humph, I'm not that kind of person! And she actually asked you to come, that's just too much."
"Test?" Zhu Zhen didn't understand what Jiang Lu was saying.
Pointing to the scriptures in her arms, she explained:
"It's true that my senior sister asked me to come here, but because I told her about what I saw you do in Miaoyin Temple during the day, she said that theoretical knowledge should not be neglected, and one should not speculate on one's own, otherwise it is easy to take a detour or even go the wrong way.
So she asked me to come over and give you extra lessons, and she also gave me the key.
But you were not there when I came, and I thought you would be back soon, so I waited for you. Unexpectedly, I was too tired after preaching the sutras all day, so I fell asleep while waiting. "
Jiang Lu was speechless: "You want to sleep in the living room, why do you sleep on my bed?"
"Because... because..." Zhu Zhen said a little aggrievedly: "Because there is no place to lie down, and the chair is too hard, I can't sleep well."
"Alright, alright." Jiang Lu had never been able to resist such coquettish and cute behavior, so he just waved his hand to show that he didn't care: "Then you go back to sleep, it's my turn now."
"What time is it now?" Zhu Zhen asked.
Jiang Lu looked down at his watch, then looked up: "Ah, I don't have a watch, I don't know."
Zhu Zhen stood up from the bed, opened the window and looked out: "It seems to be the Yin hour already."
Jiang Lu hadn't heard of this way of timekeeping for a long time, so he was a little confused for a moment, and then he quickly started calculating.
