In Lu Lili’s opinion, Xu Rui is just an innocent and inexperienced child.
With a turn, she had already put him behind and started thinking about serious matters.
Even though she knew the original plot, Lu Lili had no clue as to who currently possessed the treasure map.
In the following days, she began to pay attention to a group of three people in the martial world and observed whether they might be the three nameless individuals in black.
For this purpose, she listed several characteristics of the black-clad individuals:
- They work for the emperor.
- They wear black clothes.
- They have strong martial arts skills.
- They carry a sword.
- They are people Lu Xingjiang knew.
- …
The clues were too few.
However, based on these characteristics, Lu Lili arrived at the following conclusions:
- People who work for a sovereign ruler definitely have status and wealth. The Emperor would not mistreat them in this regard.
- Wearing black clothes, it could be magnificent or plain.
- Any trio that cannot defeat Lu Xingjiang can be eliminated.
- Those who do not have a sword but carry other weapons can also be eliminated.
- After the three men in black obtain the treasure map, only Lu Xingjiang knows and can accurately find them.
Lu Lili speculated that Lu Xingjiang and the three, even if not friends, must surely know each other!
First of all, among all the trios who came to Huan’yang, Lu Lili ruled out Xu Wu, Xu Xiang, and Xu Rui.
[…] The system tried to hold back its laughter.
But in the end, it couldn’t resist and laughed with its emotionless mechanical female voice: [Host, that’s stating the obvious, hahahaha!]
[Xu Xiang was killed by the men in black while trying to save Lu Xingjiang, so she couldn’t possibly be one of the men in black.]
“Well, that’s true, hehehe.” Lu Lili happily crossed out the names of Xu Xiang and the other two on a list.
This list was compiled by her over the past half month through various inquiries and investigations.
The people on the list are all trios who frequently appear in Huan’yang and can even be said to be a trio living there permanently.
Although there may be omissions, Lu Lili’s own power is really too small. She can only do her best.
Next, she will carefully observe the people on the list and eliminate those combinations of three that do not match the characteristics one by one.
During this half month, Lu Xingjiang was not idle. He didn’t stay in Huan’yang all the time.
He would chase after the news of the treasure map.
Unfortunately, every time he arrived, those who had obtained the treasure map according to the information had already been killed.
That’s also the reason why Lu Lili no longer follows Lu Xingjiang everywhere.
She just wants to stay in Huan’yang and wait for the final appearance of the treasure map.
But she cannot stop Lu Xingjiang from setting off because every time Lu Xingjiang goes out, he returns with achievements.
Each time he goes out, there will be one or two new girls by Lu Xingjiang’s side.
Now, Lu Xingjiang has gathered the Four Beauties of the Martial World and successfully brought in the other two Beauties to his harem.
During an injury, he also met Guo Lin, the Female Leader of the Divine Physician Sect, and they fell in love with each other while Guo Lin was healing him.
He also accidentally unveiled the veil of Jin Qi, the Poison Queen, becoming the first man to see her true appearance and having to marry her as his wife.
As a renowned figure in the martial arts world, Jin Qi is known for her exceptional skills in poison-making and detoxification, making her a feared character by many. She always dresses in black and wears a black veil, completely concealing her true identity. Many people believe she is an ugly old witch with a repulsive appearance.
However, since she joined Lu Xingjiang, she has shed her black attire and veil, adopting the appearance of a normal woman. It is only then that everyone realizes that the infamous poison expert, previously believed to be an ugly old witch, is actually more beautiful than the renowned Beauties in the martial arts world!
For a long period thereafter, many men secretly regret not having the courage to unveil her veil and discover her true face sooner.
