I Haven't Done a Single Thing You Said
Chen Lingling didn't know how to respond to Lu Qing'an's words. He did sound extremely powerful, as if he had everything under control, but he couldn't prove everything.
"Could you tell me what you know about Senior Li? I've known Senior Li for quite a few years now, and I'm quite curious about him. Could you tell me about Senior Li's biggest flaws? I'll make fun of him next time I see him."
Lu Qing'an's heart skipped a beat.
What? Is there such a person?
Do you still recognize him?
Lu Qing'an couldn't help but glance at Li Wensong.
Li Wensong, Li Wensong, if you're using people people know to fool me, how am I supposed to keep up the act?
I don't even know this Senior Li's full name!
How could he possibly answer Chen Lingling's question?
"His worst trait is that he's too afraid of death." Lu Qing'an thought for a moment, then had no choice but to pick a flaw that almost everyone has.
That's right.
Who isn't afraid of death?
For a Peak Eternal Realm expert to live this long, he must be a cautious and thoughtful old man!
That should be correct!
Chen Lingling blinked.
Your words are more insightful than any other conversation!
What's the difference between saying something and saying nothing at all...?
Chen Lingling suddenly thought of something and said, "Senior, if you know so much about Senior Li, have you two met before?"
Lu Qing'an pondered for a moment.
Since Chen Lingling knows this Senior Li, we can find out we've never met him before by asking around!
"I have met him, but it's as if I've never met him."
This Senior Li definitely hasn't met him, and he hasn't met this Senior Li either. But he just said that he knows this Senior Li very well, so it doesn't make sense that he hasn't met him.
He really didn't know what Li Wensong had said, and all he could do now was make something up based on the information he had just learned!
"Huh, so you've never seen me before? You're at the same cultivation level, so you should be able to detect each other if you appear in front of each other. I already asked Senior Li, and he said he's never seen you before, and he's never even heard of you!"
Chen Lingling frowned.
There is a logical flaw.
Lu Qing'an was speechless.
I really don't know anything about it, so it's too difficult to perform well on the spot.
Never mind!
If you're going to pretend, then go all the way!
Who cares!
I can't keep up the act anymore, so I'll just stop pretending and send Chen Lingling away!
Thinking of this, Lu Qing'an's eyes instantly became extremely calm.
He said he had never seen me, or even heard of me; that's because I've sealed his memory of me.
As soon as he said that, the surroundings fell silent, and the air seemed to freeze.
Li Wensong and the others felt a chill run down their spines.
Peak Eternal Realm expert's memories have been sealed?!
And doesn't he even know it?
How powerful must that be?!
When Chen Lingling heard Lu Qing'an's words, she was stunned for a while, then her lips twitched, and she looked at Lu Qing'an with a bit of impatience.
Even if you are Peak Eternal Realm expert who has mastered the Rule of Cause and Effect, you cannot do this kind of thing!
This situation is absolutely impossible!
Unless Li Muchen willingly has his memories sealed!
"Senior, I don't quite believe it!" Chen Lingling narrowed her eyes and began to question him directly.
Seeing that Chen Lingling no longer believed him, Lu Qing'an had no choice but to stop pretending.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. If you don't believe it, then you're not welcome here. It means we're not meant to be." Lu Qing'an maintained the demeanor of an unparalleled expert, smiled calmly, and picked up his teacup to drink.
Let's go!
It's not a big deal if we don't have you as a subordinate.
It's just unknown whether Li Wensong managed to extract information about Chen Lingling's plans in the Divine Continent.
We'll keep Li Wensong behind and question him properly.
Seeing Li Wensong Lu Qing'an suddenly want to drive Chen Lingling away, Li Wensong blinked, then looked at Chen Lingling and thought, "She's not a pawn?! I'm mistaken?! No! This must also be part of the scheme! Right! When I became a pawn, I had to pass a test! Could it be that Chen Lingling also needs to pass a test and accomplish certain things to become a pawn?!"
With this in mind, the confidence in his eyes returned.
It must be!
Chen Lingling is definitely a pawn, but she's not a qualified one yet!
Only after accomplishing something and gaining recognition can one become a pawn!
After all, not just anyone can be a pawn of such a powerful figure!
Li Wensong then stood up, looked at Chen Lingling, and said, "Fellow Daoist, since that's the case, you should go back first!"
Chen Lingling glanced at Li Wensong, then at Lu Qing'an, and frowned.
However, she still stood up, gave a soft hum, turned around, and took off.
"In that case, I won't bother you any longer!"
She still hadn't fully confirmed everything, but the idea in her mind had begun to waver.
The chances of being scammed are much higher!
Since Li Wensong and the others didn't continue, she should leave!
It's such a pity!
Jin Lin...
"Contact Senior Li again! Tell Senior Li about Jin Lin's situation and see what suggestions Senior Li has! If Senior Li can help me, perhaps we can get Jin Lin back!"
Chen Lingling gently clasped her hands in a fist salute, then turned and left.
Soon, only Lu Qing'an and a few others remained at the stone pavilion.
Lu Qing'an calmly looked at the Qian Xiuzhu brothers and Lianxin, and said, "There's nothing more for you to do here. Go and get busy. Wensong, stay here."
"Okay!" Lianxin and the other two obediently did as instructed and left the courtyard.
Lu Qing'an then looked at Li Wensong. He was genuinely curious about what Li Wensong had said to Chen Lingling, so he decided to ask.
However, Li Wensong also seemed to have a great misunderstanding of him. In order to keep Li Wensong in this misunderstanding and help him deceive more people to come, he also had to put on an act in front of Li Wensong.
"I suppose you already know a lot. Tell me what you know about Chen Lingling," Lu Qing'an asked indirectly.
Li Wensong laughed and said, "What I know is probably just the tip of the iceberg! After all, Brother Lu's plan is too grand! However, I do have some guesses about Chen Lingling, so let me tell you."
Lu Qing'an nodded and watched Li Wensong perform quietly.
Li Wensong seemed delighted to have gotten the chance to perform in front of Lu Qing'an, and blurted out all his guesses.
"That's how it is! In my opinion, Chen Lingling is definitely your pawn, Brother Lu! And Senior Li is definitely one too! As for how you're treating Chen Lingling now, it's because you need Chen Lingling to do something, to pass a test, before she can fully join our camp and play the role of a pawn!"
At this point, Li Wensong smiled and stared at Lu Qing'an, waiting for Lu Qing'an's evaluation of his guess.
That expectant look, that desperately wanting Lu Qing'an's praise, filled Lu Qing'an with mixed feelings.
Li Wensong, Li Wensong, what's your brain made of?
I haven't done a single one of the things you're thinking of!!!
