When the old man stepped out, Liu Ruyan and Jiang Yuanshu felt that things had already spiraled out of control.
They wanted to kill Two-Faced Blade, but Lu Chengwen stopped them.
Lu Chengwen needed Two-Faced Blade.
Otherwise, he had no way to keep this going.
But neither of the girls could understand Lu Chengwen's logic at all.
If you killed him, couldn't you make up whatever you wanted?
But Lu Chengwen didn't see it that way.
Lu Chengwen firmly believed that Two-Faced Blade's existence held important—major strategic significance for him!
Two-Faced Blade was definitely going to die, but before that, he had to be fully utilized!
But Two-Faced Blade was clearly about to start digging into the details... With a story this flimsy, could you still patch it up once he started picking at it?
It would definitely fall apart!
If they kept him around to expose things bit by bit, then if the old man came to his senses even once afterward, it would be a world-ending disaster.
You were basically toying with someone's most precious emotions. Wouldn't he tear you apart and roast you alive afterward!?
At that moment, Two-Faced Blade said, "Lu Chengwen, how tall was Senior's son? How much did he weigh? What did he look like? What was his build? What weapons did he use? What martial arts did he practice? Since you were fellow disciples, what had you experienced together... Surely you can tell us all that, right?"
The old man stared at Two-Faced Blade with a cold expression.
"Hmph!"
He picked up a bowl of liquor and walked over to Lu Chengwen. "Little brother, no rush. Drink this bowl first."
Then he looked at Two-Faced Blade. "Then let him die knowing the truth!"
"Fine!"
Lu Chengwen drank the bowl of liquor, marveling inwardly.
