The next moment, a trace of complexity flashed through the eyes of the man in blue and the slender woman. They exchanged a glance, then acted without the slightest hesitation.
Their bodies swayed faintly.
In the blink of an eye, their faces abruptly changed, revealing entirely different appearances.
The man in blue now looked somewhat unkempt, his face steeped in the weariness of years. He appeared rather old as well.
The slender woman, meanwhile, was gentle and beautiful, though her brows were likewise touched by trials and fear.
Even their builds and heights changed.
The man in blue grew somewhat more burly, while the slender woman became several shades thinner and a little taller.
"You... you two!"
Lu Wu abruptly pushed himself up, tugging at his wounds and grimacing in pain, yet he still bellowed furiously, "So you were disguised after all! I, Lu Wu, trusted you and fought to the death to protect you! What are your motives? Who exactly are you? Speak truthfully, now!"
The man in blue hurriedly said, "General, please quell your anger! Benefactor, see clearly! This humble one is Wu Ming, and this is my younger sister, Wu Chuzhen! We siblings were not putting on an act. We are absolutely not villains, nor do we harbor any intent to harm you! This disguise was truly... truly forced upon us. It was only to evade the relentless pursuit of enemies who would not rest until we were dead! There were no other motives! If a single word I said is false, may heaven strike me down and earth destroy me!"
Jiang Bei's eyes narrowed as he asked, "Where are you from? By all reason, the Demon Realm should no longer have any native residents. Where did you come from, and who are your enemies?"
Wu Ming
