If we don’t solve this problem, reckless actions will only lead to death!
While his mind was racing, the tiger-faced man endured the pain in his body and spoke with a bitter smile, "I ask for your pardon. Since you’ve said it, we will naturally cooperate.
"I go by the nickname ’Geng Louzi,’ and she is ’Bo Zhaozai’. We are both department heads under Bai Yujing; though we are not well-known, we serve under the Butterfly Lovers Department. We may not necessarily be your enemies!"
"What? Are you the head of the Geng Louzi Department? And she’s the head of the Jin Zhanzi Department?" Xu Shu’s eyes lit up immediately, showing a very surprised expression.
It’s settled...
Seeing this look on Xu Shu’s face, the tiger-faced man felt a hint of joy rising within him.
Earlier, he suspected the other party might be a descendant of the Liu Family, so he intentionally reported these identities from the mysterious and low-key organization ’Where in the World is the Fragrant Grass’—identities that are not well-known. The test worked perfectly!
One must know, the leader of ’Where in the World is the Fragrant Grass’ is suspected to be Liu Yuan’s daughter, "Butterfly Lovers." By saying this, he can turn the issue into an ’overflow flood in the Dragon King Temple’ misunderstanding, greatly increasing his chances of survival under this killer!
As for whether he would be recognized...
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Geng Louzi and Jin Zhanzi are considered the truly lowest ranked among Bai Yujing’s department heads, and their location is in an extremely remote area of the wasteland.
Their true appearances are hardly known, even within ’Where in the World is the Fragrant Grass.’
Especially the former, who occasionally appears, wearing a human skin mask, impersonating a hawk-eyed old man with white hair and beard. Although his skills are mediocre, his level of mystery probably exceeds his own.
And as for the killer in front of him, his age is definitely not over twenty-five. With such terrifying skills and potentially being a Liu Family orphan, he couldn’t have grown up in Penglai; otherwise, I would have heard of him!
You know, even with Penglai Judgement Department’s extremely mysterious head, I know a little!
So, this person is likely the orphan from the Liu Family back then, who has come back for revenge after years of learning. When the Liu Family fell at Luling Platform, it was rumored that Liu Yuan’s young son was rescued by a mysterious person, and now it seems to be true; it must be this person, and the age matches!
Therefore, with this person’s identity and knowledge, there is absolutely no way to recognize any flaws...
The tiger-faced man now had absolute confidence in his heart.
The beautiful woman also cast a look of admiration at him.
He is indeed the boss, truly reliable; one sentence has indeed fooled the enemy!
At this moment, the tiger-faced man continued, "You... you’ve actually heard of our names? Impossible, apart from people within our organization, no one knows our names! Who mentioned us to you? Could it be the Butterfly Lovers Department Head?"
In his heart, he was already confident, yet showed nothing on his face, cautiously performing the act thoroughly, just one step away from saying ’So you are our long-lost young master.’
Xu Shu also broke into a bright smile, "Oh, this really is a big misunderstanding, I truly didn’t expect..."
Seeing this, the tiger-faced man felt even more confident.
Today, he could survive!
He was about to utter some words to foster a closer relationship and build trust.
However, the next second, he saw Xu Shu appraise him for a long time, then suddenly made a very odd gesture, his expression turning icy cold, saying in a very vicious tone, "Even when facing annihilation, the heart is like the sea, nothing stains the dust!"
"..." The tiger-faced ’Geng Louzi’ was immediately stunned; his heart sank, instinctively sensing something was wrong, but he still slowly said, "What did you say?"
Xu Shu replied, "You don’t even know this motto, and you dare to impersonate Geng Louzi? You’re full of lies; I’m afraid you won’t behave today. Since that’s the case, I’ll have to send you on your way!"
After speaking, he struck the tiger-faced man’s skull with a palm, the wind of his palm roaring like a mountain peak towering above, cannot be directly looked at.
"No! You’re mistaken! I really am Geng Louzi! We are allies!"
The tiger-faced man stubbornly insisted, screaming terribly while simultaneously working with his hands.
His body suddenly inflated like it was pumped with air, shattering the iron chains on his surface, and manipulated the fragments to stab at Xu Shu’s eyes. Moreover, intangible locks flashed through the air, forming a solid cage that tightly imprisoned Xu Shu, with many invisible whips striking at his vital points, and one of the whips swiftly breaking the Turtle Shell Binding Rope on the beautiful youthful companion’s body.
"Escape in different directions!"
Having completed this series of seemingly successful maneuvers, a determined look appeared on the tiger-faced man’s face.
He whispered a sentence to the beautiful woman while roaring at Xu Shu, "Chase her! She knows as much as I do!"
Then, he ceased to continue attacking, instead directly dodging, taking advantage of the moment Xu Shu was entangled in numerous attacks and controls, disappearing in place without a trace.
In place of him was a shadow that moved frantically and indistinctly on the ground, shooting like lightning out of the tower! Fleeing without a shred of hesitation!
Faced with this series of combos, even Xu Shu paused for a moment.
"Furious People," "Prison," "Whipping," "Shadow Sneak!"
"...So it was the Prison Director! Hidden extraordinarily deep!"
Trapped in a space cage, unable to move, Xu Shu’s eyes flashed a hint of surprise.
As for this control, for someone like him now, this kind of purely physical, and at a power level inferior to his ’transparent air wall,’ was almost like a clay chicken and pottery dog—he could directly smash and escape using his body.
