"Have you been happy enough?" Lu Mingshu asked.
The woman in black coughed lightly and put away the smile on her face.
"Can I tell you now, what's your name?"
"Didn't I tell you?" she said.
Lu Mingshu stared at her, and suddenly asked: "It's quite a distance from Xichuan to Beiming, isn't it?"
Halfway through the nod, the woman in black's face suddenly changed, and she looked straight at her.
But seeing her smile slightly, dimples flashed past.
"How do you know?" The woman in black lowered her voice.
"Why don't I know?" Lu Mingshu said calmly, "I have been in Xichuan for nine years, so I grew up there."
"Where did I show my flaws?" The woman in black refused to give up and wanted to ask what happened.
Lu Mingshu sighed, and pointed to her hand: "Although you have tried your best to change it, the way you hold the sword and the way you draw the sword all have traces of Jiuyao Palace."
"..." The woman in black didn't know what to think, the traces of Jiuyao Palace, these words made her ache.
"What's your name?" Lu Mingshu asked again.
She lowered her head, bit her lip, and said after a long time, "Zhou Ruying."
"Zhou... Ruying?" Lu Mingshu paused at this surname.
Zhou Ruying raised her head, her eyes couldn't tell whether it was relief or burnout: "Yes, Zhou Miaoru's Zhou."
"So, were you sent by my stepmother?" Lu Mingshu's expression was unexpectedly calm.
Zhou Ruying nodded: "That's right, I sent someone to kill you."
"Then why didn't you kill him?"
Why didn't you kill him? She bit her lip. In fact, she couldn't figure it out...
Langxuan Pavilion took advantage of the Ye family and wanted to find someone to deal with Lu Mingshu. She wanted to find an opportunity to complete the task, and the two hit it off. So she took the place of Langxuan Pavilion and entered Yuyang Mountain.
At the beginning, she really wanted to deal with her. When they were together temporarily, they thought that this would be good, so that they could complete the task more conveniently.
But later, before I knew it, I got used to listening to her...
In the end, when we reached the cave at the bottom of the river, we had no chance to make a move.
— No, she still has a chance to make a move. If she and Ling Wuxia dealt with Lu Mingshu together at that time, she would definitely not be able to escape.
But she didn't do it.
"If you didn't kill it, you didn't kill it. It's too late for me to kill now, isn't it?"
Lu Mingshu nodded: "Since I know, you won't have a chance. But..." She looked over, "You haven't completed the task, can you still go back to Zhou's house?"
Zhou Ruying lowered her head and did not speak.
"Zhou Miaoru won't let you go, right?"
Lu Mingshu knew her behavior without asking: "So, if you don't kill me, you will be homeless."
Zhou Ruying did not deny it.
Growing up in Zhou's parents, she knew Zhou Miaoru's temperament very well. The gentle and virtuous layer on the outside is just her painted skin, and inside is an extremely selfish soul.
Zhou Miaoru was like this, so was Zhou Yinru.
For example, her aptitude far exceeds that of the sisters of the Zhou family. Zhou Yinru's own cultivation has stagnated, and watching her rushing all the way into a daze, she even cruelly changed her medicine, causing her foundation to be damaged. It was only one step away from being in a trance, but the path of martial arts was cut off forever.
As for Zhou Miaoru, she knew what Zhou Yinru was doing, but she didn't care about it at all. Instead, after her future was cut off, she was trained to be a tool for killing people and to do things for her.
All these years, she didn't know how she got here.
If this mission fails, how will Zhou Miaoru punish herself if she returns to Zhou's house? Maybe you will think that she is useless in the future, so you can just throw it away
"How did Zhou Miaoru control you?" Lu Mingshu asked curiously, "Give you medicine? If you don't give you the antidote after a while, you will die?"
Zhou Ruying shook her head: "Nothing like that."
"Then why do you listen to her?" Lu Mingshu wondered, "The sky and the earth are big outside, you are in a fusion state after all, can't you make a living?"
"..." Zhou Ruying found that she couldn't answer. Leaving Zhou's house was never on her mind. If she hadn't failed to complete the task this time, she probably wouldn't want to leave Zhou's house either.
She is an orphan adopted by Zhou's family and grew up in Zhou's family since she was a child. Because she is about the same age as Zhou Yinru, she has been with Zhou Yinru all the time. She never thought about what to do when she left the Zhou family.
Seeing her like this, Lu Mingshu stopped asking. I also want to know what Zhou Ruying's life experience is like. It is probably not easy for a person like her to make up her own mind.
"Zhou Miaoru sent you to kill me, but finally couldn't take it anymore?" Lu Mingshu said contemptuously, "I didn't think she was so clever, but that's all!"
Although this method is very crude, it is also very useful. If Zhou Ruying really killed her, it would be the end of everything. However, the follow-up will definitely not be what Zhou Miaoru imagined.
"Okay, let's talk about these things later." She raised her head, "Let's find a way to deal with the current situation first."
While talking, someone came in from the door.
These people dressed as managers picked up the people in the house like picking animals, and finally only three people remained.
Lu Mingshu, Zhou Ruying, and... Ling Wuxia.
If the situation in front of her was not emotional, Zhou Ruying would have laughed.
She can forget about it by herself and work for Zhou Miaoru, what hasn't she done? But Lu Mingshu and Ling Wuxia, one is arrogant and cold, the other has a fairy air, they have always been worshiped by others, when were they so embarrassed? Look at the eyes of these people, it's disgusting.
"Do you know where this is?" Zhou Ruying asked.
Lu Mingshu shook his head: "I just woke up a little earlier than you."
"Then we..."
"I asked just now. It seems that we fell on the road and happened to meet Ren Yazi. By the way, he caught us and sold us as slaves."
Zhou Ruying didn't know whether to say they were lucky or not.
"The environment here is not like Beiming."
"Don't guess, this is another world." Lu Mingshu told her directly.
"Another world?" Zhou Ruying was taken aback, "What do you mean?"
"It's just not in the same space as us..." Lu Mingshu picked up a small wooden stick and drew a circle on the ground, "For example, this is the world we are in." He drew another circle next to it, which was the same as the original circle. Connected, "This is another world. There may be a place where they connect, but they are closed to each other, and they are two independent circles."
"..." Zhou Ruying looked at her, "How do you know so much?"
Lu Mingshu said lightly: "Have you forgotten where I grew up? Tongtian Pavilion, there are books all over there."
Zhou Ruying was silent.
"Then what do we do now? Can we go back?"
"I don't know." Lu Mingshu took out the mirror, "Let's see the opportunity!"
Suddenly a white shadow rushed over, but it was Ling Wuxia: "Give me the mirror!"
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Lu Mingshu kicked him unceremoniously.
Ling Wuxia dodged and dodged.
Although the two of them lost their profound strength, the ten years of hard training was not a joke.
