"I can help you, but I have two conditions."
Shang Guan thought for a moment and said straight to the point: "First, no matter whether it succeeds or not, the little saint must not be allowed to participate in it this time."
"Uncle Shang!"
Ding Lingxi's eyes widened, and just as he was about to speak, Lu Li already agreed: "This matter is dangerous. With her strength, getting involved will only be a drag. I agree."
"you… "
Ding Lingxi looked directly at the two of them, with a dissatisfied expression on her pretty face.
Shang Guan was very satisfied with Lu Li's decisiveness, and his expression softened a bit: "Secondly, although Shang is an Immortal Realm warrior, all his abilities were given by the sect. If it weren't for the little saint's request, I wouldn't have done it. It’s time to get involved in this kind of foreign internal fight. Therefore, if you want me to contribute, you can, but I will never use death force. If the opponent is too strong, the most I can do is buy you a cup of tea. "
"Put the ugly words first, the villain first, then the gentleman. I can agree with this."
Lu Li nodded.
This is not an excessive request.
Although he had never seen Yuan Jingtao's abilities, he could still glean a few details from the details.
After all, he was able to stay in Prince Yan's Mansion openly and work as an undercover agent, and Mu Ningqiu never tried to kill him. This was enough to show that his ability was definitely not comparable to that of ordinary immortals.
Although Shang Guan is the deacon of Ye Sect, even if he is at the same level as Yuan Jingtao, he may not be Yuan Jingtao's opponent.
"Since you can agree to these two things, I have nothing to shirk. Tell me your plan in general. When and where you want me to take action, just give me your orders."
Seeing Lu Li's decisiveness in agreeing, Shang Guan naturally didn't talk too much.
After Lu Li heard this, he probably told Shangguan about his plan to get involved with Ye Dongtian. In fact, this plan was more of a conspiracy than a conspiracy.
The most important part of this was to find a warrior strong enough to hold back Yuan Jingtao, who might be able to personally protect Wen Zhengrong.
As long as Yuan Jingtao is held back, the rest of the matter will be much easier to solve.
Even for those earth killers, Lu Li could use the Divine Killing Seal to forcefully order them. Even if most of the assassins in the Imperial City branch were bribed by Wen Zhengrong, there must still be many people who didn't want to betray Shenwei Division and Prince Yan's palace.
With this group of people under control, the civil strife in the Imperial City branch will soon subside, and the only remaining step is to forcibly remove Wen Zhengrong.
Attacking and killing an immortal warrior sounds like a very dangerous thing, and it is still a task carried out by a group of warriors who are not above the Tongxuan realm.
If it weren't for the fact that the people involved in the plan were all extraordinary, if other people heard about the plan, they would probably think Lu Li was crazy.
Even Shang Guan asked with some uncertainty after hearing the plan: "Are you really sure you can kill Wen Zhengrong?"
After raising this question, before Lu Li could answer, Shang Guan said: "I have spent some time in the Holy Kingdom of Tiantian. Although I don't know the reputation of Zhengrong, I know the power of the Shenwei Division killer. An Immortal A killer in this realm must have trump cards in his hand that are unimaginable to outsiders, and you cannot use common sense to deal with such a guy."
"Senior, don't worry. Although Wen Zhengrong is not an ordinary warrior, the people here may not be just ordinary people."
Lu Li grinned. Although he was not very confident, he felt confident.
Shang Guan glanced at him and said after a long time: "In short, I will be responsible for stopping Yuan Jingtao. What happens after that depends on your own abilities."
After saying this, Shang Guan looked at Ding Lingxi and said with a wry smile: "Miss, are you still angry?"
Ding Lingxi turned away and said coldly: "Since you all think I'm an eyesore, then why should I stay here? In vain, let's go!"
She turned around and left, seemingly very angry.
Bai Bai sighed helplessly, signaled to the two of them, and hurriedly followed.
After the young master and servant left, Lu Li and Shang Guan stared at each other, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while.
"Ahem." Shang Guan cleared his throat, broke the silence, and asked with interest: "Little brother, how did you and her meet?"
"How did we meet?"
Lu Li was stunned.
Thinking of Ding Lingxi's behavior of following him that day, he pondered for a while and said, "Maybe it's... fate, right?"
He really didn't know how to explain how the two met.
What's more, he had thought of killing Ding Lingxi to silence him more than once.
If told truthfully, this strange experience would be a bit weird for Lu Li himself, not to mention that Shangguan didn't believe it.
"Fate... That's an interesting statement." Of course Shang Guan could tell that Lu Li was not telling the truth, and he just asked politely, without any intention of really getting to the bottom of it, but he said meaningfully: "Yes Sometimes, many things end up being fate but not destiny. If you insist on forcing it, it might turn into a bad fate. Little brother, are you right?"
When Lu Li heard these words, he frowned slightly and said with a half-smile, "Senior, are you trying to hit me?"
"It's not about beating." Shang Guan waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Old guys like me shouldn't get involved in the affairs of you young people. But you have to know that she... Ding Lingxi's father is a A very important person."
"The Lord of the Night Sect is naturally a rare big shot in the world."
Lu Li smiled, but showed a bit of disapproval and said: "But I didn't really hook up with his daughter, so he wouldn't come to my door to cause trouble, right?"
Shang Guan took a deep look at Lu Li and said, "If you really don't have such thoughts, there is no need to worry. It's just... facing the little saint, do you really have no thoughts at all?"
"She's just a child, senior, don't be ridiculous." Lu Li felt a little nervous and didn't dare to accept these words.
"Although the little saint is not very old, she is similar to you. You are just a teenager. You always show that mature attitude when talking and doing things. This is not pleasing to you."
Shang Guan put his hands behind his back, looked at the backs of Ding Lingxi and Bai Bai leaving, and said with a smile: "But the little saint already looks like a big girl now, and her appearance is very similar to her mother's. It’s an ordinary and unparalleled beauty.”
"The little girl looks really good."
Lu Li didn't object to this. While he acknowledged it, he still said, "But this doesn't change my mind."
"I hope you can keep this idea." Shang Guan looked at Lu Li sideways and said with a smile, "If one day you change your idea, you will have to face more troubles than you imagined."
"Then I would like to thank senior for reminding me in advance."
Lu Li smiled and ended the conversation.
When saying goodbye, Shang Guan suddenly said: "Little brother, if you are really in danger of your life, you can ask Miss Bai Bai to solve the problem. She will definitely find a solution."
"Bai Bai?" When Lu Li heard this, his heart suddenly moved.
He remembered that Bai Bai had said similar words to him before.
Coupled with Ye Dongtian's fear of Bai Bai intentionally or unintentionally, and Shang Guan's previous behavior of avoiding Bai Bai's salute, Lu Li felt that he had grasped something important, but it was a little unclear, so he hesitated and asked: "Bai Bai." , is she a..."
"You should ask this matter yourself."
Shang Guan shook his head and interrupted Lu Li's words, and said rather timidly: "Miss Bai Bai has not told you personally, and no one dares to speak for her about this matter. You should be able to understand what I say."
After Lu Li heard this, he stopped asking, but this time he sincerely bowed his hand to him and bid farewell to Shang Guan.
…
After leaving Qibao Pavilion, Ding Lingxi seemed to be angry and did not say a word to Lu Li.
And Lu Li had no intention of coaxing her, he was just thinking about something.
Bai Bai was sandwiched between the two of them. He could neither persuade nor persuade him, so he could only sigh helplessly.
Suddenly, Lu Li, who was deep in thought, raised his head and looked behind him, his expression gradually becoming serious.
Bai Bai noticed the change in his expression and asked in a low voice: "Master, is something wrong?"
Lu Li shook his head and said calmly, "It seems like someone is following me."
As soon as he heard that someone was following him, even Ding Lingxi perked up and wanted to look back to see the situation, but Lu Li stopped him: "Don't look back!"
Ding Lingxi quickly stopped and suppressed his excitement and said, "Are you from Prince Cang's Mansion?"
"It's not like the people from Cang Prince's Mansion. They are of high quality and should be people who specialize in this kind of business. It may be Wanshitang or other espionage organizations. We can't be sure yet. Move forward first and don't expose yourself. What a clue."
Lu Li whispered instructions to the two of them while secretly changing the route to a more remote place.
The people following behind seemed to be aware of it, and their steps became faster, gradually closing the distance between the two parties.
It wasn't until he turned into a small alley that Lu Li said to Bai Bai, "You and her go back to Prince Yan's Mansion first, and let me deal with it here."
Before confirming the other party's intention, the first priority is to ensure Ding Lingxi's safety.
Otherwise, even if the other party's target is not Ding Lingxi, if Ding Lingxi falls into their hands, it will make things more complicated.
Both Bai Bai and Ding Lingxi knew this, so neither of them objected. Bai Bai just nodded and said, "Master, be careful."
Then, she pulled Ding Lingxi, who turned around every step of the way, away.
However, the people following them really didn't seem to care about the two girls. They watched them leave without any intention of stopping them.
"You guys have been following me for so long. It seems like you want to see me for something?"
Lu Li was sure that the other party's target was him, so he showed a smile, turned around, looked at the men in black robes blocking the retreat, and said with a smile: "Before talking about it, should you tell yourself where you are?" ? We are destined to meet each other, so it’s better to get to know each other first?”
