Under One Person: Dressed as Lü Liang, with vests all over

Chapter 16 The Lu family is nothing special!
"boom!"

Lu Liang raised his arms to block in front of him, with a layer of white Qi attached to his arms, forming a protective shield.

But after the purple energy ball hit the shield, it still knocked him back a few steps before he could stabilize his body.

After Lu Liang regained his balance, a trace of anger appeared on his face. He looked up at Lu Ci and asked, "Master Lu, what do you mean by this?"

“It’s just a necessary inspection procedure.”

There was no trace of apology on Lu Ci's face. His right arm rested lightly on the armrest of the chair, and his left hand pointed at the chair beside him, indicating Lu Liang to sit down.

"Lin Yin, don't worry, I'm not targeting you," he said.

"But I heard from the company that someone from Quan Xing might have sneaked in. Among them is a strange person named Yu Huadu who is proficient in the art of disguise."

"However, the person whose appearance he has changed cannot use Qi. If they do, they will return to their original appearance."

"So, you suddenly attacked me just now, in order to force me to use my Qi?" The anger on Lu Liangrang's face subsided a little, but his brows were still furrowed.

Hearing this rhetorical question, Lu Ci snorted coldly.

"Humph! If I really wanted to touch you, do you think you could still stand there?"

This was a very impolite statement. Lu Liang pursed his lips and said nothing, looking frightened.

He lowered his head slightly, but a hint of "as expected" flashed in his eyes.

The moment Lu Ci took action just now, Lu Liang had actually guessed Lu Ci's purpose.

If Lu Ci wanted to hurt someone intentionally, he wouldn't even use Ruyi Jin.

So at that time, he immediately used Jishidiang's skills to defend himself.

"Looking at the way Lu Ci was willing to personally test the waters, he seemed very worried that what he had discussed with Lin Yin would get out."

"Unfortunately, he took into account the ability of Yu Hua Du, but he didn't expect there would be a 'Red Hand' facelift, haha."

……

"Lu Gong, you go out first." Lu Ci suddenly said.

"Yes, Master."

Lu Gong obediently turned around and left, not forgetting to close the door from the outside.

"Lin Yin, is your master in good health?" Lu Ci asked.

"It's okay." Lu Liang answered carefully.

Lin Yin's master is Liu Jingtian, the head of Jishidi Hall. He is now over a hundred years old and is considered to be of the same generation as Lu Ci.

"That's right. Your faction doesn't like fighting and is good at keeping healthy. I'm afraid that guy will live longer than me."

Lu Ci stroked his beard, his narrowed eyes fixed on Lu Liang. He continued to ask, "Did your master ever mention me to you?"

"I mentioned it once or twice when we were talking about the Ten Lords."

"Oh? What did he say?"

"He said that the Lu family's Ruyi power is extraordinary."

"that's it?"

"Yes."

Lu Liang answered naturally. He had only read part of Lin Yin's memory, so he didn't know the answers to these questions.

But not being able to answer doesn’t mean you can’t make up a story.

This kind of answer that alternates between long and short sentences and has details seems the most real. Before he traveled through time, this was how he answered every time he made rounds during teaching.

……

Lu Ci pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled, as if trying to make himself appear more friendly.

But because of the scar that spanned half of his face, this action made him look even more like a "bad guy".

He tapped his fingers on the back of the chair, his eyes still scrutinizing.

"Jishi Tang has been concentrating on developing its secular industries over the years and has not participated much in the activities of the alien world."

"I didn't expect that Old Liu would be willing to release even a closed disciple like you. It seems that he attaches great importance to this Luotian Grand Ceremony."

Lü Liang smiled and replied, "After all, this is the selection of the Heavenly Master's successor, so naturally I have to come and see it for myself."

"Just to watch the selection of the Heavenly Master's successor?" Lu Ci's smile turned cold. "I'm afraid you also want to see the successor of the Eight Great Skills?"

"Is Mr. Lu talking about Zhang Chulan? The appearance of the heir of the Qi Body Origin School has caused quite a stir in the circle."

Lu Liang's words were perfect.

But this was obviously not the answer Lu Ci wanted.

He snorted coldly, "Your Jishitang also had thirty-six thieves in the past."

"Furthermore, back then, your Jishitang's attitude towards punishing disciples who had connections with Quan Xing was quite ambiguous."

"Lin Yin, tell me the truth, what is the purpose of your visit this time?"

"Master Lu, I've answered this question before." Lu Liang repeated his previous answer, "Jishitang was invited to watch the selection of the Heavenly Master's successor."

...From Lu Ci's eyes, Lu Liang could see that he didn't believe it at all.

Sure enough, the next moment, Lu Ci raised his voice and shouted outside the door: "Lu Gong, come in."

Lu Gong pushed the door open and stood behind Lu Liang.

Lu Ci had been circumventing for a long time but gained nothing, and now his true intentions were finally revealed.

He looked at Lu Liang and said in a cold voice: "As one of the Ten Lords, I have an obligation to help understand the instability of the alien world."

"Boy, whether what you said is true or not, I naturally have a way to confirm it."

"Lu Gong!" He nodded at Lu Gong.

"Got it! Great Grandpa!"

Lu Gong immediately understood, and a light blue Qi flowed out from his hand, covering Lu Liang's body.

"Old man, what do you mean?" Lu Liang stood up and asked.

Lu Ci showed a proud expression, "This is a natural skill that only our Lu family bloodline can inherit - the Soul Enlightenment Technique!"

"Can I check the soul directly?" Lu Liang asked in pretended surprise.

"I can't perform that kind of in-depth operation." Lu Gong said, "I will only cover your body with a shallow layer of Minghun Jue, but that will be enough for me to judge whether you are lying!"

"It's like a human lie detector?"

"That's right." Lu Gong raised his chin slightly, obviously feeling a little proud of his own performance.

"Since Mr. Lu insists, let's give it a try." Lu Liang said.

……

Lu Liang looked at Lu Gong calmly.

With Lu Gong's limited ability, he was nothing compared to his "blue hand".

The so-called lie detection test is to detect the fluctuations of the soul when answering in order to judge the truth or falsity of what is said.

But "Blue Hand" can easily modify its own cognition.

If I think it is true, then it is the truth!

Lu Liang's expression remained unchanged as he allowed the light blue Qi flow in Lu Gong's hand to envelop him.

"Are you investigating the incident involving the thirty-six thieves?" Lu Ci began to ask questions.

"No."

Lu Gong took a look and saw that the light blue Qi flow did not change color.

He nodded towards Lu Ci, "Grandpa, he's telling the truth."

Lu Ci frowned and continued to ask, "What is your real purpose in coming to Longhu Mountain?"

"Come and see the selection of the Heavenly Master's successor."

The light blue Qi flow still did not change color, which proved that this sentence was still true.

Lu Ci's expression relaxed a lot. He nodded to Lu Gong. Lu Gong received the signal and was about to withdraw the Qi flow.

At this moment, Lu Liang looked directly at Lu Gong and suddenly spoke.

"The Lu family's soul-clearing technique is nothing more than this."

"Besides, you are not okay!"

Lu Liang shrugged, "These two sentences are also true."

"You——" Lu Gong was choked and speechless for a moment.

What made him even more angry was that he had not had time to withdraw his Qi flow, and the Qi flow was still light blue.

The two sentences that the other party used to disparage him were indeed true.

……

"Ha ha ha ha."

Seeing his great-grandson being humiliated, Lu Ci burst out laughing.

He looked at Lu Liang and said, "During this meeting, I helped you dispel the suspicion that it was Quan Xing. This is also for your own good, Lin Yin. I hope you can understand."

"I understand, I understand." Lu Liang replied with a forced smile.

During this meeting, Lu Ci wanted to get information from this fake Lin Yin, and so did he.

And he did gain something.

Lu Ci called him here obviously to test whether Lin Yin or Jishidiang came to Longshan this time to investigate Duanmu Ying's affairs.

But this suspicion is not groundless.

According to seniority, Lin Yin's master Liu Jingtian should be Duanmu Ying's junior fellow apprentice.

A guess popped up in Lu Liang's mind: "Could it be that Duanmu Ying had contacted Jishitang after he realized his unique skills? Moreover, Jishitang has investigated Duanmu Ying's affairs over the years?"
