You discover that when you are close to Su Mei, your success rate in drawing Talismans greatly increases. In just a few days, you have drawn many low-grade Talismans. Although their destructive power is not strong, they have miraculous effects in special circumstances.
For five consecutive days, your strength, Realm, and trump cards have all been enhanced.
At the same time, you have been closely monitoring the outside situation.
But to your surprise, Great Xia Capital remains calm, and the Lu Family has made no moves at all.
You should know that in previous Simulations, after it was confirmed that you had been assassinated, the entire Lu Family almost all dispatched, desperately trying to get revenge for you.
Could it be that Lu Zhong didn't relay the situation? Or was there some unexpected twist in between?
You realize that there might be some problem in Great Xia Imperial Capital, or perhaps the Lu Family is plotting something and keeping it hidden.
"Is it another new change?"
Lu Qian looked at the new changes appearing in the Simulator, and his heart sank.
According to his predictions, after the Lu Family received the information, there would definitely be a considerable commotion.
Even replicating the great battle with the Gu family of Great Xia in the second Simulation was not impossible.
Even Modu would face the Lu Family's towering wrath.
But now, they are so low-key!
Could it be that the Lu Family has found out something else?
Besides the Gu family, are there other masterminds behind the scenes... and it involves more than one Heavenly Human Family?!
That's right, even a small fry like him, knowing some things, could find out about many people.
Let alone a behemoth like the Lu Family.
This sudden change makes you more cautious. Before, you only ever competed with others in the younger generation and had never participated in high-level conflicts.
And you inquire that some time ago, the Mystic Realm that appeared in the Modu Sea Area disappeared after appearing once. This temporarily dispelled your idea of going to investigate.
You become more cautious in your infiltration, maintaining Su Meng's identity, working odd jobs in the Modu University logistics department. From the idle chats of passing teachers and students, you learn about some drastic changes in Modu.
"Have you heard? That flamboyant Young Master from the Imperial Capital seems to have gone missing. Now, many people are frantically searching for him. I heard it's related to the campus belle, Liu Ruoyue."
"Young Master Zhao Kun of the Zhao Family was reportedly killed by Liu Ruoyue's bumpkin bodyguard. The Zhao Family has gone mad, digging three feet deep to unearth the person."
"Have you heard? That bumpkin Ye Chen not only killed someone from the Zhao Family but also caused a ruckus in the Li Family, claiming that Lu Qian was killed by him, and that it had nothing to do with the Liu Family..."
Unlike the calm in Great Xia Imperial Capital, Modu is experiencing tumultuous waves. Among them, the most alarming is the suspected disappearance of Lu Qian, the second son of the Lu family of Great Xia.
Yes, your "Death" seems to have startled the big shots in Modu. They seem to be preparing to try their best to cover it up, and then frantically search for the murderer.
Because the Thousand Shadow Assassin had taken on Liu Ruoyue's appearance when assassinating "Lu Qian," the Liu Family, a second-rate Family, was treated as a "suspect" by the Li Family.
Besides that, there is the matter of Zhao Kun's Death. Now, the Zhao Family is in a frenzy, and the Zhao family Ancestor has issued a bounty for the Heavenly Fated Protagonist, Ye Chen.
It is said that a few days ago, Ye Chen was besieged by several Mountain and River Realm experts from the Zhao Family, but he ultimately escaped and even counter-killed some of the Zhao Family's experts...
After learning that the Liu Family was in trouble, Ye Chen also caused a ruckus in the Li Family, claiming that the Death of "Lu Qian" was his doing and had nothing to do with Liu Ruoyue, taking all responsibility upon himself...
Now, both Liu Ruoyue, the Heavenly Fated Daughter, and Ye Chen, the Heavenly Fated Protagonist, are in considerable trouble due to your schemes and arrangements.
Suddenly, you see a supervisor from the Modu University logistics department mysteriously gossiping with someone. You lean in to listen.
"The Li Family specifically invited the 'Ghost Doctor.' I heard that Patriarch Li was seriously injured and fell into a coma."
Patriarch Li was seriously injured!
You are somewhat surprised!
You recall that the black-clothed expert who fought Lu Zhong earlier should have been Patriarch Li. At that time, he was injured by the enraged Lu Zhong.
Afterward, Ye Chen again caused a ruckus at the Li Family, and most likely used the "Heavenly Step Ninefold" again, so Patriarch Li probably took another beating.
Now, being severely injured and in a coma, it doesn't seem surprising.
And the "Ghost Doctor" is a very sinister physician in the Great Xia Empire. He has a custom when healing people: to save one person, he must kill one person.
And he must first kill someone before he will treat someone.
You do not have much doubt about the words of the logistics department supervisor. Modu University is a top-tier academy in the Empire, not low-level, and can access many things, which is why you chose the identity of "Su Meng."
After hearing the news of Patriarch Li's serious injury and coma, you already have some ideas.
You plan to infiltrate the Li Family to investigate the situation and see if you can find out anything about the mastermind behind the scenes.
After making up your mind, you ask the logistics department supervisor for leave, saying that your sister is sick and you need to go back to take care of her. The other party agrees.
Having made up your mind, you use the Thousand Shadows Demonic Skill to change your appearance again and head towards the Li Family.
You are not unfamiliar with the Li Family. You stayed there for several days when you first arrived in Modu, so you naturally know its location and head there with ease.
Soon, you arrive outside the Li Family.
At this moment, the Li Family's main gate opens, and Li Yang walks out with a gloomy-faced old man, an obsequious expression on his face.
Listening to their conversation, you learn that the gloomy old man is the legendary "Ghost Doctor."
"Senior Ghost Doctor, please rest assured, our Li Family understands your rules. We guarantee that within three days, we will deliver the target's head."
The Ghost Doctor nodded arrogantly. Suddenly, he glanced in the direction where you were hiding.
Your heart skips a beat. You quickly restrain your aura, while silently chanting "You Can't See Me" to activate the blessing of this red talent.
You realize that the other party's strength is probably not simple, as he can break through the Thousand Shadows Demonic Skill and vaguely sense your presence. His strength is probably above Lu Zhong.
At the very least, he is an Entering Sage-Grade expert.
Soon, perhaps because "You Can't See Me" was successfully activated, the Ghost Doctor frowned slightly, withdrew his gaze, and left under Li Yang's escort.
Seeing Li Yang about to turn back into the mansion, you use the "Shadow escape" you just learned, instantly entering his shadow, preparing to follow him into the Li Family.
Li Yang, however, does not notice anything and strides into the Li Family.
You also successfully infiltrate it.
"Young Master! Young Master! Young Master!"
Li Yang walks towards the backyard, and along the way, the servants around him bow respectfully.
At this moment, Li Yang no longer has the subservient attitude he had in front of you; instead, his face is full of arrogance.
Soon, under your gaze, he arrives at the backyard and enters a study. Inside the study is an elegant middle-aged man, who is none other than Li Ge, the head of the Li Family.
The father and son briefly discuss matters concerning the Ghost Doctor, and their words confirm to you that Patriarch Li is indeed in a coma.
Perhaps unable to bear the doubt in his heart, Li Yang still couldn't help but ask.
"Father, what about the matter with Lu Qian? That's the Lu Family, after all. It's been five days, and your son is truly a bit anxious."
"Don't worry, the higher-ups have already taken action in the Imperial Capital. Someone will keep the Lu Family in check, and the Lu Family will not be able to interfere with Modu for a short time."
Li Ge, the Li Family Head's words, startle you.
Indeed, something happened to the Lu Family in the Imperial Capital.
