1187 Write Off Everything She Did in the Past (1)
“Zhou Shu, are you really not going to continue investigating?” Yin Wuyou asked while they were on the way to return to Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
“It’s not that I don’t want to continue investigating.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “But there’s no point in following up on this lead.
“Liang Hongxiu has already been abandoned by the mastermind, so naturally, all the clues she has are no longer valid.”
Zhou Shu continued, “Instead of wasting time on her, it’s better to investigate something else.
“Wuyou, the most important thing for us now is still the enemy from beyond the heavens. We can’t invest too much manpower and resources in this.
“They’re just a bunch of clowns. They can’t cause much trouble.”
A cold glint flashed across Zhou Shu’s eyes.
“Sigh, Hongxiu was such a good girl back then. Who led her to this?” Yin Wuyou said emotionally.
“No matter who it is, once I catch him, I won’t let him off!” Lu Wenshuang said through gritted teeth.
“Our chance will come,” Zhou Shu said.
The three of them returned to the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. Just as Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang left, the deputy pavilion master of the Huaxia Pavilion, Shi Songtao, arrived in front of Zhou Shu.
Shi Songtao said solemnly, “Your Highness, the batch of robbed forging materials was sent back to us.”
“Sent back to us?” Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows. “Who sent it back?”
“I don’t know.” Shi Songtao shook his head. “Someone placed it at the entrance of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. No one saw who did it.
“I’ve asked Great General Meng, but he doesn’t know either.”
“Have you checked the forging materials?” Zhou Shu asked.
Shi Songtao replied, “I’ve checked. There’s nothing unusual. But there’s something strange. They sent back more forging materials than we lost.
“Your Highness, what do you think they mean?” Shi Songtao was puzzled. “First, they robbed us of our forging materials, and now they sent them back. What are they after?”
“What can they be after?” Zhou Shu sneered.
The other party was making their stand clear.
This meant that they didn’t really want to be his enemy. Previously, it might have been a test or a mistake.
Now that the forging materials had been sent back, and they had even sent out a sacrificial lamb, this matter was over.
But it wasn’t that simple.
Did they think that after killing someone and sending back more forging materials, this matter would be over?
Although Zhou Shu was no longer investigating on the surface, it didn’t mean that he would let these people off just like that.
“Don’t worry about these things.” Zhou Shu looked at Shi Songtao. “How’s your mastery of the forging techniques I taught you last time?
“Everyone has already mastered the basics,” Shi Songtao answered. “Now, everyone is working on them practically.”
“Alright, bring me there to take a look. The efficiency of forging connate divine weapons must be increased,” Zhou Shu said.
Yao Buqi had already brought Hu Li and Emperor Xiang back to the Demon Realm to stir up trouble according to the plan.
The Huaxia Pavilion had to supply enough connate divine weapons before their plan could be implemented.
If they didn’t turn the Demon Realm upside down, the gigantic hand of the enemy from beyond the heavens wouldn’t feel nervous.
After dealing with the gigantic hand and bringing Ji Lutian and Bai Qianqian back, Zhou Shu would have plenty of time to deal with those clowns.
…
Zhou Shu’s participation motivated the entire Huaxia Pavilion.
The forging efficiency of the entire Huaxia Pavilion had more than doubled.
Originally, they might not even be able to successfully forge a connate divine weapon in a year. Now, they could actually forge one in a few days.
The most credit naturally belonged to Zhou Shu.
After all, without his guidance, they would definitely not be able to do it.
Over the next few months, the Demon Realm was secretly in turmoil, but the human race was calm.
Of course, it was only calm on the surface. The storm behind it was indescribable.
On this day, Zhou Shu led the forgers of the Huaxia Pavilion to finish forging another connate divine weapon and gave the forgers a short break. He walked out of the forging room for some fresh air.
As soon as he walked out of the forging room, he saw Lu Wenshuang hugging her knees and sitting on a limestone not far away.
The wind blew her hair, which teased her jade-like face.
“Little Lu?” Zhou Shu smiled and walked over. “When did you come? Why didn’t you call me?”
“I asked Shi Songtao and the others not to disturb you.” Lu Wenshuang looked up at Zhou Shu. “Master, I went back to my old camp during these days.”
There was still sadness on her face.
Liang Hongxiu’s betrayal and death had dealt a huge blow to her. It had been so long, but she still hadn’t walked out of it.
“Little Lu, it’s not your fault.” Zhou Shu took a step forward and pulled Lu Wenshuang into his arms. “Liang Hongxiu was stubborn. It was inevitable that she would reach that point. None of us expected it.”
Lu Wenshuang looked at Zhou Shu and said with certainty, “Master, I keep feeling that Hongxiu isn’t such a vicious person.
“I was the one who taught her the Martial Dao. All these years, she was by my side. If she were such a person, it would have been impossible for me not to notice at all.
“When I went back to the old camp, I found what Hongxiu left behind.”
Hope flashed in her frosty eyes. “I didn’t dare to look at it, so I brought it back.”
Lu Wenshuang said weakly, “Master, can you look at it with me?”
