Chapter 92 Sacrifice
Lu Zhizhi checked on Qiasi's condition and was surprised to find that he was also S-level, possibly even S+.

But why is he not among the five sentinels?
She realized that she was distracted and they were taking an exam, so she put one hand on Qiasi's shoulder and leaned over to kiss his lips.

Qiaxi opened his eyes suddenly and was surprised that Lu Zhizhi had pried open his teeth. He felt her soft tongue exploring and entangled with his own tongue in a clumsy and awkward manner.

His chest heaved violently, and his big hands grasped the back of her neck and pulled her away.

Lu Zhizhi looked at Qiasi lying there in surprise. Seeing that his eyes were about to spit fire, she said in fear, "Sir, did I do something wrong?"

Qiasi sat up from the stretcher, the desire in his body clamoring and his mind turning into a mess.

He growled angrily: "Who told you to do that?" He kept saying "you" for a long time but in the end, he said nothing.

Lu Zhizhi looked at him in confusion. "I did it according to the manual. You didn't tell me what level of damage you simulated. I treated it as an intermediate level and gave an intermediate level of emotional comfort. Is there anything wrong with that?"

She twisted her fingers in grievance, looked up at Qiasi's face which turned dark and red, and suddenly had a doubt: Could he be -

Make things difficult for her!

The more Lu Zhizhi thought about it, the more it made sense. He had been finding fault with her ever since the purification room.

She stared at the man in front of her, and when he turned his head away and didn't look at her, she became more certain of her guess.

At the same time, Qiasi managed to control his desire. He stood up, put his suit jacket on his forearm to cover a protruding part of his body, and said in a panic: "Let's stop here."

“Then I will assess the results.”

Qiasi stopped and didn't dare to look back at her, nor could she see how miserable she was at the moment. But it was obvious that she still had a lot of things to regulate, such as not being able to comfort the sentry emotionally in such an intimate way without even saying hello.

He turned his back to her and said in a hoarse voice, "Unqualified."

"!"

Case solved!
She knew it!

Qiasi is making things difficult for her!!!
In a blink of an eye, a month had passed in the White Tower. Apparently, this month had reached the limit of Lu Yuan's patience. After lunch, he came to the 19th floor early to personally pick up Lu Zhizhi and take her back to Lan Yin Palace.

Lu Zhizhi looked at the man who was packing her bag and said while holding the little rabbit, "But I just went home last week."

"You only came back once in a month, and you only stayed for two hours before leaving. Do you call that a return home?"

Lu Yuan's tone was neither accusatory nor harsh, but it inexplicably made her feel like rebelling.

"How long will you stay this time?"

"Zhizhi, you forgot"

"what?"

"Tomorrow is my parents' memorial day."

Lu Zhizhi was stunned, and suddenly something flashed through her mind, so fast that she couldn't grasp it.

She subconsciously hugged her head. Seeing this, Lu Yuan immediately knelt down in front of her nervously, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Tell me, where does it hurt?"

"No. I just feel like here." She pointed to her head, frowned slightly, and said, "It seems like I've forgotten a lot of important things."

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything. Then he held her in his arms and touched her head. "It's okay. You will remember it slowly."

"Brother, how did mom and dad die?"

Lu Yuan was silent for a long time, until he led her onto the flying ship, then he said: "The public statement is that he died in the mission, but I investigated for a long time and found that it was not simple. I am hesitating whether to tell you, because there are too many forces involved. Zhizhi, let your brother handle all this, okay?" Lu Zhizhi knew his concerns and nodded, "I will not act on my own and disrupt your plan."

Later, Lu Yuan told her a lot.

But Lu Zhizhi only figured out one key point - Mom and Dad were murdered, and Lu Yuan now suspects that the murderer is one of the twelve seats in the Senate.

The Chief has been in seclusion for many years, during which time the Second Seat has been exercising some of his power on his behalf. The family power behind the Third Seat Liu Congyun cannot be underestimated. The Fourth Seat and the Fifth Seat are closely tied together. The Sixth Seat is already in his twilight years and is looking for a successor. The Seventh to Twelfth Seats are now vacant, and many people are eyeing these positions and want to sit on them.

"Who do you suspect?" Lu Zhizhi asked.

"The first six seats are all very suspicious, because they and my parents are the best of the same era. They seem to know something that is highly confidential, but I have been searching for a long time and found no trace. This is already very suspicious. What's more, my parents have been very low-key in order to conceal your affairs over the years. Apart from their dealings with the Senate, they no longer have any social connections."

Lu Zhizhi recalled the last time she was cast into an illusion during the assessment, so she took the opportunity to speak up: "Why is the Senate targeting me? Is it because I am the only guide?"

Lu Yuan patted her head with pity, and did not answer her directly, but said: "No matter what, brother will protect you."

On the other side, Heffer stood in front of the mirror, with servants lined up behind him, each holding a piece of clothing to show him.

"This is too ornate. It's not suitable for attending a sacrifice."

"This one is from last year. It's out of date."

"I wore this on Zhizhi's birthday. How dare you give it to me? Do you want to embarrass me in front of her?"

Heffer was not satisfied with any of the items and was feeling annoyed when a group of people came in with the butler. This time, each of them was holding not clothes but flowers of various varieties and colors.

"Your Highness, as you requested, here are all the flowers that Miss Lu has loved since she was a child. Since you are not sure about the style and color of the bouquet, please choose it."

The servant knelt on the ground to roll up Hefel's trouser legs. While adjusting his cuffs, he gestured to those people, "Come forward one by one, I will personally select them."

The servant lowered his head and raised the flowers above his head, showing them one by one. Finally, Heffer stopped in front of a bouquet of pink and white flowers.

"It's you. Zhizhi liked pink the most when she was a child."

The Lu family's sacrifice followed the traditional way.

Lu Zhizhi wore a pure white dress and was fumigated with vanilla by Ms. Ke Wen, who then placed holy water on her head to symbolize purification. She was then taken to the center of an ancient magic circle, surrounded by fluttering ribbons covered with runes.

The reason why the Lu family has become a famous family is because of its ancient heritage.

The ancestors of the Lu family were once descendants of a witch clan who could use magic. However, as times changed and supernatural powers and mental strength exploded frequently, ancient magic became insignificant.

Lu Zhizhi held a thick and old magic book in her hand and placed her hand on the book.

She felt a little uneasy and looked at Lu Yuan below: "Brother, won't you join me in chanting the prayer for Mom and Dad?"

Lu Yuan smiled at her gently, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"I don't have the blood of the Lu family on me, Zhizhi, don't be afraid, I am here to watch over you."

Lu Zhizhi took a deep breath and focused her attention.

At this time, people who came to participate in the sacrificial ceremony were already waiting outside the hall. The original tradition was that the heir of the Lu family would go out after reading the prayer to accept everyone's blessings and mourning for the deceased.

But when Lu Zhizhi just started to memorize the first difficult syllable, a gust of wind suddenly blew open the door of the palace.

A man in a moon-white robe walked in slowly, the cross in his hand shaking, making a sound of collision with the chain.

"Did someone forget to invite me?" Saloy said with a smile.
