Chapter 89 Everyone has their own thoughts
Lu He was treated as an honored guest, and she carried the stun gun around her waist like a weapon.
"You're quite clever. How did you come up with that? That was too dangerous just now." The system was also belatedly realizing what had happened and was covered in a cold sweat. It had really been a close call.
"I just remembered that they used stun guns when they kidnapped Duanmu Cong and the others." Lu He was still thinking of confirming one thing: "I forgot to ask clearly, is the list of items I can exchange for something that exists in the story world I've been in, or does it have to be something I've seen or heard of?"
"It exists according to the story's setting, that's fine. In the previous romance comic's setting, no one had a gun, so it won't appear on the list." The system gave her the answer she wanted.
"I understand. So, everything that exists in the default world setting will be on the list, right?" Lu He became excited. "Then, does that mean cars can be exchanged too?"
"Uh, yes, but do you really want to go this far? Take it easy, or you'll ruin the world." The system was astonished by her wild imagination; she really dared to ask for anything.
In Li Cen's bedchamber.
The sentry was personally reporting to her every word and action Lu He had just taken in the main hall.
Li Cen listened quietly, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing, sometimes surprised. She gradually developed a strong interest in this Lu He.
"Did she really say that?" Li Cen asked incredulously, confirming it again.
"Yes!" the sentry replied affirmatively.
"Alright, I understand. You can go now..."
Li Cen stood alone in the courtyard, enjoying the cool breeze and trying to keep her thoughts clear.
"This Ms. Lu, her words and actions, are fearless of power and full of strong self-awareness, unlike ordinary women who follow the rules. Moreover, what she said and did today is quite similar to my belief that women should not be subordinate to men..." Li Cen muttered to himself as he analyzed.
If Lu He wasn't the Crown Prince's person, then that conversation was an implication for her.
She is the one she has been searching for.
Even if she is one of the Crown Prince's people, Li Cen must win her over.
Lu He! I'm going to have this woman!
Meanwhile, Tai Xing from the Qi Ling Palace had finished reporting to the Grand Master. His complete defeat in the main hall had utterly humiliated the Grand Master.
"Does she really know sorcery?" Liu Qi's eyes sharpened.
"This, this disciple doesn't know either, but she really did take this short black stick and knock the guard down with a snap." Tai Xing said, gesturing as he spoke, his tone full of amazement. To be honest, having followed his master for so long, he felt he had seen all sorts of things, but this was something he had never seen before. "Oh, no, no, she didn't even hit the guard. She just stabbed the guard's sword with the stick..." Tai Xing continued to describe vividly.
The Imperial Advisor Liu Qi's expression changed repeatedly. Based on his understanding of the Emperor, this Lu Banxian was likely to gain favor, and his power and status could become a threat to him; this person could not be allowed to live.
Furthermore, after the emperor treated Lu He as an honored guest, he treated her with the same courtesy as a grand master.
For the emperor, the palace could not be dominated by only the Grand Preceptor, who controlled the path of immortality. Lu He's appearance provided the emperor with a means of checks and balances.
Moreover... the emperor also had his own selfish motives.
The woman's composed demeanor unconsciously reminded him of the bright and clear eyes he had seen in the main hall. If only he could take her into his harem…
The Grand Preceptor Liu Qi received benefits from Gao Yi back then. At that time, Gao Yi was just a Grand Scholar. It was because Liu Qi helped the Sixth Prince ascend to the position of Crown Prince that Gao Yi became the Grand Tutor Gao he is today.
Gao Yi should repay this favor this time.
So Liu Qi sent his disciple Taiqing to invite Grand Tutor Gao for a chat.
"Master, why won't you let me go?" Tai Xing thought that his master no longer valued him, and he felt wronged.
“You have more important things to do. Go find someone and investigate this Lu Xian’er’s background.” Liu Qi’s hoarse voice was particularly sinister.
Upon hearing this tone, Tai Xing knew that his master was once again contemplating killing.
