Moon stars are rare.

The cool moonlight spilled onto the eaves.

Lu Sheng stood in a corner, a long spear held diagonally in his right hand, his eyes fixed on two figures, one in blue and one in white, several dozen paces away. His gaze was somewhat hostile. "What are you doing here?"

As they spoke, Lu Sheng had already locked onto their auras, indicating that he was ready to make a move at any moment.

He had seen Qingli during the day.

Without a doubt, the other person was definitely nearby.

The two of them coming here definitely aren't up to anything good; they might even be involved.

Now that they've deliberately sought him out, is there some other conspiracy at play?

Just as Lu Sheng was hesitating whether or not to make a move.

Qingli spoke first, her tone somewhat indignant, "They don't appreciate kindness... The princess and I even helped Miss Shen escape from her home."

Help Su Wanqing escape from her home?

Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that something happened before Su Wanqing came to Changfeng Escort Agency?

Wait, it's the two of them!

Lu Sheng suddenly remembered the master and servant he had met at the inn on his way back to Linjiang Prefecture.

I felt it looked familiar at the time, but I just couldn't remember where I was looking.

Now Lu Sheng has the answer in his heart.

It turned out that the two had been following them all along.

While Lu Sheng was pondering, Qing Li was still muttering to herself, "When you saw me today, I was actually on the princess's orders to ask Eunuch Chen to show mercy and spare your life, but I didn't expect you to be... so powerful."

Although Qingli didn't want to admit it, she was indeed frightened by Lu Sheng's gaze during the day.

She felt that if she hadn't left, she would probably have ended up like Eunuch Chen.

Even now, Qingli felt a little scared when she saw Lu Sheng looking like he was about to make a move, and couldn't help but explain.

Seeing that Qingli was speaking with increasing confidence, as if Lu Sheng had truly misunderstood.

Lu Sheng closed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but laugh: "Oh? So, according to you, I should thank you?"

"Of course."

Qingli answered decisively.

But Lu Sheng's next words instantly changed her expression.

"And... what happens after you spare my life?"

It's really hard to predict what will happen if you spare the life of someone who once threatened you with vile methods and stole your martial arts skills.

Does sparing his life really mean letting him go?

Perhaps they felt they couldn't let him die too easily.

Lu Sheng felt he had guessed the answer.

"I……"

As if she had been told the truth, Qingli fell silent instantly.

"Alright, tell me, what are your plans for tonight? Where are your people hiding? If you're going to make a move, hurry up."

Lu Sheng flicked his spear, and his voice suddenly became much colder and more stern.

He pointed his spear at the two men, but couldn't help glancing back at the Changfeng Escort Agency out of the corner of his eye.

Lu Sheng did not pursue them for long, as there was no reason for him to act rashly now.

They were also afraid that the two people in front of them would try to use a feint attack.

However, with his increasingly keen senses, it seemed that there was no one hiding around.

Were they hiding it too well? Or were there just the two of them?

Lu Sheng was a little unsure.

At this moment, Ye Xinglan, who had been silent until now, spoke up.

She didn't answer Lu Sheng's question, but instead asked, "Should I call you the Asura of Ten Thousand Laws, or... Young Master Lu Sheng? I think Eunuch Chen didn't say anything, did he?"

Ye Xinglan did not wear a veil tonight.

The bright moonlight shone on her pale white, flowing dress, giving it a soft glow and making her look quite dreamlike.

Her fair face carried a composure that was not forced like Qing Li's, but rather a calmness that came from the heart.

Lu Sheng had no time to appreciate it; he went straight to the point, his tone already showing signs of impatience, "Call me whatever you want? What exactly do you want to say?"

Ye Xinglan said calmly, "I know the whereabouts of the Profound Water Scripture."

Lu Sheng stared at her for two seconds, then suddenly put away his spear and smiled. "Oh dear, you've done this. Fairy, just call me Lu Sheng."

Ye Xinglan: "..."

Qingli: "..."

Although Ye Xinglan had made some preparations in advance, she hadn't prepared this much.

Qingli rolled her eyes, puzzled.

Is martial arts all that's on this person's mind?

Lu Sheng remained unfazed, still smiling, and said, "Fairy, you must be tired after traveling so far. Why don't we come into the escort agency for some tea and then talk slowly?"

"Drinking tea is fine."

Ye Xinglan thought to herself, "Just as I thought," and couldn't help but smile slightly. "However, I'm not called 'Fairy'."

Not called Fairy? Then what are you called?

Lu Sheng was suddenly taken aback; he seemed to genuinely not know the other person's name.

She is only known by the nickname "Moon-Gazing Fairy" in the martial arts world. As for her real name, who knows?

Lu Sheng glanced at Qing Li subconsciously, his mouth beating his brain, "Bai..."

As soon as he said it, Lu Sheng remembered the surname of the royal family of the Great Yin Dynasty and abruptly changed his words:

"...Miss Ye, and this...green maid, please."

After saying that, Lu Sheng's figure flashed, and he took the lead in heading back.

You were trying to say something like "to be blunt," weren't you?

Ye Xinglan gazed longingly at the departing figure before finally following Lu Sheng's steps.

Qingli chased after her, complaining, "Hey, I'm not called Green Maid, okay?"

"Yes, Green Maid."

Lu Sheng didn't even turn his head.

"you……"

Qingli's chest heaved, and she felt her breathing become disordered.

That bastard definitely did it on purpose!

Forget it, for the sake of the princess's plan, she would endure it!

The three of them entered the Changfeng Escort Agency and arrived outside the main hall.

Shen Qingshu and Shen Tianxiong had previously followed Lu Sheng's advice and gathered in the main hall to prepare for any unexpected situations.

Hearing the commotion outside, I couldn't help but take a few steps toward the door.

The moment Lu Sheng appeared, Shen Qingshu was about to ask what was going on when he suddenly noticed two figures following behind Lu Sheng.

Senior Qingli?!

Shen Qingshu immediately recognized one of them as Qingli, who had given him the wine.

Especially since the other party was respectfully following behind someone whose attire was extremely similar to that of the Moon-Gazing Fairy from that day.

Shen Qingshu was startled, his gaze shifting between the group with intense curiosity. "Brother Sheng, what's going on?"

Lu Shengchao and the other man nodded. "There should be nothing to do tonight. I have something to discuss with the two behind me. Could you go and call everyone to come and line up?"

As soon as the word "queue" was uttered, Ye Xinglan and Qing Li stopped in their tracks at the same time, turning to look over in unison, their movements becoming much stiffer.

Lu Sheng chuckled and continued without changing his expression, "I misspoke, I meant to make me a pot of tea."

"it is good."

Although Shen Qingshu was somewhat puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions and left with Shen Tianxiong.

As they passed Ye Xinglan and the other person, they called out "Senior" twice.

Qingli nodded, her gaze instantly turning to Lu Sheng.

It's as if it's saying, "Look at others, then look at yourself."

Lu Sheng ignored him completely.

After walking about ten meters, Shen Tianxiong couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Qingshu, who are those two?"

Although he didn't know them, Shen Tianxiong could tell from their aura that the two were no ordinary people.

Shen Qingshu glanced back and explained, "The one in green is named Qing Li, the senior who gave me wine and helped me out of a predicament last time, as my father and I mentioned."

"As for the one in white, he should be the owner of Lan Yue Lou."

Shen Tianxiong's eyes narrowed upon hearing this. How could he not have heard of Lan Yue Lou, known as the number one news tower in the world?

I just never expected it to be related to Sheng'er.

However, thinking of Lu Sheng's current strength, he felt at ease and returned to the backyard, letting Shen Qingshu make tea.
