The World Owes Lu Jiang an Oscar

Lu Jiang, Acheron, and Firefly talked for a while.

The group exchanged updates on their conditions.

By drawing on Acheron, Lu Jiang's strength had also improved.

Once Acheron recovered, taking down Sword Douluo wouldn't be a problem.

When that time comes, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be torn apart!

He was just about to leave when suddenly, a white figure descended from the sky.

It landed in front of Lu Jiang.

The moment Lu Jiang saw that signature white hair, he knew this was one of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's two Titled Douluo, Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

Didn't expect to be tracked down so quickly?

Lu Jiang knew in his heart that Sword Douluo's strength was among the top of even the Titled Douluo.

He had just finished fighting Tang Hao, and Acheron and Firefly were still recovering. It wasn't the time to clash with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Lu Jiang had already concocted a series of excuses in his mind.

In short, he just needed three days, he just needed to stall for three days.

After three days, Acheron and Firefly's action points would be fully restored, and he would be a hero again.

So, Lu Jiang closed his eyes and waited quietly.

When he opened his eyes, Chen Xin was looking up at the traces where Acheron had severed space.

"What happened here just now? Do you know?"

Chen Xin didn't look at him, but instead focused all his attention on observing the sword energy left by Acheron.

Lu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect him to ask about this.

He thought he had been completely exposed and that the Sect Master wanted him captured.

So, Lu Jiang said with an innocent look:

"Return, Elder. I don't know?"

"I was over there just now and felt a very powerful force here, along with an extremely pure Blade Intent."

"I thought it was you, Elder, coming to save me, so I rushed over, didn't I?"

Chen Xin glanced at Lu Jiang. Right now, figuring out who unleashed that slash was more important than anything else to him.

Judging from that ultimate Blade Intent, that person was definitely an unparalleled powerhouse.

Even if he faced him, he could only admit defeat.

However, since Lu Jiang claimed not to have seen that person, then he was useless to him.

He could just take him back for the Sect Master to deal with.

"Let's go, come back to the sect with me. The Sect Master wants an explanation from you."

Chen Xin didn't say anything else and coldly summoned two Flying Swords.

One of them slowly descended to Lu Jiang's feet.

"Get on."

Chen Xin had always been too lazy to waste energy on things other than swordsmanship.

Therefore, whatever he did, his efficiency was exceptionally high.

Lu Jiang hesitated for a moment, then stepped onto Chen Xin's sword.

However, Chen Xin didn't care about that.

He directly released Soul Power to fix Lu Jiang's feet onto the Flying Sword.

Then, he directly controlled the Flying Sword, soared into the sky, and flew towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Before long, Lu Jiang returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

As soon as he walked into the dilapidated Sect Master's Hall, Lu Jiang was faced with Ning Fengzhi's grim face.

"Sect Master, you... are looking for me?"

Lu Jiang pointed to his nose with some confusion, then said to Ning Fengzhi with a curious look.

As if he was truly an ignorant outsider.

Ning Fengzhi was sitting in a chair, resting his head on one hand, with his eyes closed to rest.

When he heard Lu Jiang's voice, he slowly opened his mouth and asked:

"I ask you, why did you run?"

Ning Fengzhi's tone was extremely cold, and even contained a hint of killing intent.

However, both emotions were hidden beneath his gentle voice, and only those who paid close attention could discern them.

It has to be said, Ning Fengzhi truly deserved his long tenure as Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

He was indeed a master at concealing his emotions.

Unfortunately for him, Ning Fengzhi was clearly not as perceptive as Lu Jiang.

Having stayed in the outer sect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for so long, Lu Jiang had long since developed the ability to discern a person's inner thoughts through subtle tones and micro-expressions.

If he didn't have this skill, he probably would have been played to death by Ning Rongrong when he was still in the outer sect.

That Little Princess was truly capable of killing for amusement when she was in a bad mood.

Thus, Lu Jiang swiftly ran through all possible excuses in his mind before saying to Ning Fengzhi:

"Escape? Where would I escape to?"

"I merely went down the mountain for some training."

"After returning to the sect, I deeply appreciate Sect Master Ning's cultivation of me."

"Therefore, I also want to quickly improve my strength and become a pillar of the sect as soon as possible, so as to share some of the external pressure for the Sect Master."

Lu Jiang's answer cleverly seized upon Ning Fengzhi's current pain point.

In reality, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not afraid of being destroyed.

What it feared was the lack of experts to guard it.

If it weren't for the Sword and Bone Titled Douluo, other sects would probably have rushed to snatch away his disciples the moment the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect encountered disaster.

Therefore, Ning Fengzhi wanted to nurture Lu Jiang.

"Then, what about Rongrong, who came back with you? Where is she?"

"Also, is your return to the sect this time truly sincere?"

Ning Fengzhi opened his eyes and looked at Lu Jiang. As Lu Jiang made excuses for himself, his anger had already subsided by half.

At least it showed that Lu Jiang might be innocent.

Sure enough, Lu Jiang revealed a surprised expression, and then said:

"Rongrong said before that she wanted to go down the mountain with me for training, but I never waited for her, so I left first."

"Sect Master, what happened to our sect?"

Lu Jiang looked at the surrounding ruins with a look of surprise.

Only then did he remember to ask about the sect's explosion.

Ning Fengzhi stared into Lu Jiang's eyes and told him everything that had happened within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

After listening, Lu Jiang immediately revealed an extremely shocked expression.

"There was actually such a thing? Then, does that mean the fake Rongrong approached me just to use me to sneak into our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"Oh dear, it's all my fault. I couldn't distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and was actually deceived by that fake Rongrong."

Saying this, Lu Jiang revealed a heartbroken look, holding his chest as he said:

"That person is so hateful, taking advantage of my infatuation with Rongrong."

"Sect Master, you also know that no matter what Rongrong says, I will do it."

"Even if it's a fake Rongrong, when I saw her, I didn't suspect her at all."

Ning Fengzhi felt a little better seeing how infatuated Lu Jiang was with his daughter.

At least it showed that Lu Jiang was also deceived, and was a victim just like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

This would make it easier to tie him to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

At this moment, Lu Jiang imperceptibly raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

My acting is truly seamless.

It's worth a little golden statue!
