To the Luo God Clan, Luo Li's return was a positive sign. At the very least, it proved that their higher-ups were not completely unprepared. Whether they had a solution or not, they had not yet reached the point of sitting still and waiting for death.
As for the streak of light beside Luo Li...
More precisely...
Lu Yuan, who was wrapped within that streak of light...
No one paid him much attention.
Or rather, all sorts of people had assigned Lu Yuan all sorts of identities, including but not limited to Luo Li's follower, Luo Li's subordinate, a humanoid puppet, an ally from another faction, and so on.
The reason for their misjudgment was very simple.
If Lu Yuan were Luo Li's pursuer...
Or if Luo Li had chosen Lu Yuan...
There was no way the Patrol Team could have kept it hidden.
Judging from Luo Li's aloof personality, provided the Patrol Team had given a reasonable explanation, Luo Li would most likely have lingered outside the Patrol Team's guarded area. The first to arrive at the Luo God Clan should have been one of the Patrol Team members, rushing back ahead of time to report the news.
Yet, the Patrol Team had not returned.
Instead, Luo Li had returned first.
And she had brought along a stranger named Lu Yuan.
From this, it was clear.
Lu Yuan definitely was not Luo Li's boyfriend.
However, most people overlooked one point: when someone truly met the right person, any conditions and rules could be cast aside. They might even act in all sorts of uncharacteristic ways, and a confident person might gradually become plagued by doubts and fears of loss.
So, when it came to Luo Li...
Such a situation was hardly surprising.
Of course.
That was all hindsight.
