I'll Quit Being a God-Novel

Chapter 121: Hindsight

After seeing off Gu Zhou, Lu Heng returned to the city with the soul of the old master Wu.

Wuzhu Helan seemed absent-minded when saying goodbye, but Lu Heng didn't say much, and left directly with the soul of the old man Wu.

Sometimes being too enthusiastic makes people suspicious.

Anyway, the seeds have been planted. All Lu Heng has to wait for is for the seeds to germinate and bear fruit.

In the courtyard behind the Fire God Temple, Lu Heng returned with the soul of the old man Wu, while Xiao Ai was guarding the door of the room where Lu Heng's body was located.

Seeing Lu Heng back, the little girl was relieved and finally relaxed.

"Wolf God," Xiao Ai called.

Lu Heng nodded.

He pointed to the soul of the old man beside him and said with a smile, "This is the old master of the Wu clan. Xiao Ai, the funeral you attended before is the old man Wu's funeral."

Seeing the soul of the old man, Xiao Ai was slightly surprised, but said nothing and saluted the old man.

Facing the little girl with silver hair and animal ears in front of her, Wu Yuan quickly saluted back.

Lu Heng said, "This is Xiao Ai, and that is Huo Feng, the disciple of the Yun sect. Now he is with me… The name of the little eagle on his shoulder is Gu Yan."

After introducing the people in the yard one by one, Lu Heng led the old man to sit down in the courtyard with a smile and said:

"Your soul should have been waiting for reincarnation in the netherworld, away from the sun and the wind. But I think before that, there is still something you want to do… you said that you were poisoned by your son. I don't know how you intend to deal with it?"

Lu Heng's inquiry made Wu Yuan silent for a while.

Under the moonlight, the old man sighed and said, "If I have to blame someone, I can only blame myself for having spoiled my children."

"My eldest son has a soft temper. He seems to be gentle, but in fact he is careful, too selfish, and only cares about himself when things happen."

"My youngest son's character is out of step. When he was young, I didn't teach him well, which led to his becoming more and more stubborn. In my early years, I sent him to cultivate in the mountains in the hope that he could learn something, but he was finally expelled from the mountain by his master."

"When he came back, I had no choice but to let him take the caravan out, so as to save him from staying in the city and making trouble."

The more the old man said, the sadder his face became. "I expected the eldest son to be in charge gradually. After all, although he is narrow-minded, he also has the ability to do things. But I didn't expect that he poisoned me and tried to seize power… Alas…"

When the old man said this, his tangled old face made Lu Heng quite speechless.

The old man was hit hard…

After half a while, the old man said bitterly, "I was wrong. The future of the Wu clan should not count on them."

"It's only now that I realize who I can trust… My second daughter, though she's a daughter, is smart and capable, and has done a lot for our Wu clan over the years."

"It seems that the future of the Wu clan can only be entrusted to her."

Lu Heng nodded at the old man's sigh.

He doesn't make much comment on the old man's decision. At least the old man in front of him have a thorough understanding of the situation at home.

Lu Heng said, "Since you have made a decision, I will help you put things right. But before you act, you need to think more."

"This matter involves a lot. If you act according to your will, I'm afraid it will lead to disaster."

Lu Heng's consolation made the old man immediately agree. "You are right. I will remember it in my heart."

Lu Heng didn't say much and asked Xiao Ai to take the old man to rest in the empty room. Then he sat in the courtyard and continued to study the bamboo slips sent by Helan Zhen.

The Wu clan's story is now clear.

To help the old master Wu is only a small matter for Lu Heng, and he doesn't need to pay too much attention to it.

Therefore, what he was thinking about was whether to ask Helan Zhen for some cultivation method books to study.

If he can learn more about the secret of cultivations of other cultivators and broaden his vision, it will be a great help for him to explore his own way of cultivation.

On the other hand, after Helan Zhen said goodbye to Lu Heng, she returned to the Fire God Temple with some thoughts.

She stepped into her room.

Although she is the leader of this city's Wuzhus, Helan Zhen's room is not luxurious.

There are too many worries in her heart. Helan Zhen lit the candle in the room with a wave of her hand, but suddenly, she saw a figure sitting in the room.

The other party was sitting in the middle of the room, smiling at her.

With Helan Zhen's cultivation, she didn't even feel the slightest breath.

Helan Zhen was surprised at first, then saw the face of the visitor and saluted quickly. "Your Majesty."

Helan Zhen has long been accustomed to the mysterious behavior of the emperor.

While Lianshan Jing looked at her with a smile and said, "Don't be polite. Come and sit down."

After greeting Helan Zhen to sit down beside her, Lianshan Jing said with a smile, "I heard you went out with the Wolf God tonight. How about it? Is it fun?"

Helan Zhen was stunned for a moment and a little surprised. "Lord, were you there? Why didn't you show up?"

"Well… Cough…" Lianshan Jing gave a dry cough and almost choked.

She wanted to make a joke, but she didn't expect that Henlan Zhen would ask this…

Looking at Helan Zhen, who didn't know what the joke was, Lianshan Jing felt a little tired.

"Hey… Nothing, nothing, just ignore it," Lianshan Jing waved her hand and said. "Let's talk about the place where the Wolf God took you. Why can't I feel a breath after you disappear? Where have you gone?"

When Lianshan Jing mentioned business, Helan Zhen's expression became serious.

She thought of all kinds of strange places in that dark place, and immediately grabbed the hand of the emperor and told her everything she saw and heard during her trip.

In the candlelight, Lianshan Jing's expression gradually became dignified from her initial smile.

Irresistible supernatural powers, the dark and gloomy netherworld of death, the water of the yellow spring, the weak water, and the so-called reincarnation channel on the weak water…

After listening to Helan Zhen's story, Lianshan Jing, who originally came with a joking attitude, couldn't laugh at all.

Because of Helan Zhen's experience and description of the supernatural powers of the Wolf God, she thought only one thing.

——When she followed the Wolf God in the beginning, she felt a sense of inexplicable horror on the Pangjiang river.

It seems that she was being targeted by something at that time.

But at that time, she didn't notice the Wolf God's mighty thunder, so she didn't think much.

…Did the Wolf God want to lock her in that dark and gloomy dark space at that time? Did she go around in front of hell? Is that why she was suddenly jumpy?

After realizing what happened, the expression on Lianshan Jing's face was incomparably wonderful…
