Chapter 377: Lu Yi Is Lu Bei?

Do you know what that 【father】 has done?

Why did he establish this organization, Lu? Even your name is related to Lu?

Do you know why you were sent here?

Why? Lu Yi asked.

He is brainless, but that doesn't mean he really has no brain.

He knows how to think.

He knows how to reverse-engineer problems.

Your 【father】's existence is inherently problematic.

And you are indeed the one they once wanted to protect!

Just...

Qin Yu said this, and the light in his eyes gradually faded.

He seemed to be thinking about something far away.

But you are no longer their most important person!

Lu Yi???

He was doubtful.

What does that mean? Are you planning to go back on your word?

Wait, what he means is, could there be other reasons for his being abandoned?

Yes, I have investigated the reason you were abandoned.

But after investigating for a long time, I found nothing.

Saying this, Qin Yu shrugged helplessly.

Indeed, it's not that he is unable, but that he truly cannot investigate.

All matters concerning Lu Yi have been suppressed.

Even if he used others' lives to secretly investigate, what returned was still a complete person.

It seems as if there are problems within Lu Bei.

So, you didn't uncover anything; is the reason also related to me?

Yes. Qin Yu slightly furrowed his brows: "Actually, this also seems to be related."

Lu Yi, hearing this, stroked his chin.

No wonder.

So... are my brothers also related to me?

Qin Yu nodded; he actually wanted to say that the person in charge of that organization also seems to be related to him.

But lacking evidence, he swallowed those words.

No wonder I am so averse?

I simply cannot get close, yet I came anyway, gritting my teeth.

Qin Yu helplessly raised his hand to his forehead.

He actually wanted to explain.

But after thinking, he felt that the more he explained, the worse it would get.

So he kept his mouth shut.

A gentle breeze stirred, brushing past his hair.

It stirred his helpless expression.

No matter, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, he is now Lu Yuan's person.

What about the other brothers?

Those people are merely those they cultivated, the future pillars.

But I never expected... they would choose these people instead of you.

Qin Yu walked toward Lu Yi, and as he walked, he extended his hand, wanting to touch Lu Yi's head.

If you remember, I have a way to help you.

All these years, I have been searching for a method regarding this, but... apparently I have not grasped the essence.

Qin Yu said this while shaking his head helplessly.

Seeing Qin Yu draw nearer, Lu Yi reflexively stepped back, his face full of resistance.

His face showed not fear, but simple tension.

Yes, Lu Yi truly fears Qin Yu.

This fear seems etched into his bones.

It's fine, just a moment!

No need!

Lu Yi finished speaking, then turned and blended into the night.

His speed was so fast, as if he had engaged a motor.

Watching Lu Yi gradually drift away.

Qin Yu let out a helpless sigh.

Lu Yi is Lu Bei; the 'one' in Lu Yi is the only one.

Back then, people only wanted to leave a lingering thought for this early-deceased brother.

That's why he came up with this name.

Unfortunately, this name has become a laughingstock.

Lu Bei is no longer the original Lu Bei.

Those good brothers—some died, some were kicked out, and they forever became corpses.

Only he remained in this world.

He actually had thought about death, but… he worries about his descendants.

Otherwise, with his temper, he would have died long ago; why wait until now?

"Lu Bei, I hope you remember and give these beasts a good torment."

"I don't even know what happened to the Lu Bei organization."

"Since that incident, it's no longer like this."

"On the contrary, it seems to have become something else!"

Qin Yu said this and let out a faint sigh.

His complexion also gradually eased with Lu Bei's appearance.

Nowadays, he no longer works for Lu Bei.

He now has a new master, Lu Yuan.

And the former Lu Bei also belongs to Lu Yuan.

Thinking of this, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

"If we could bring the master to Xiao Yinghua, with his temperament, he would surely throw Xiao Yinghua into chaos!"

……

Lu Yuan here.

He held a cup of steaming hot tea.

Actually, in this room, he would unconsciously drink this cup of tea.

Just like his heartbeat.

It couldn't help but throb.

He wasn't afraid the tea might be poisoned; he thought it's better to do less than more, so he'd just behave and not drink the water.

"Where does Mr. Lu Yuan come from?"

"Outside."

Lu Yuan answered.

"Where does he come from? Why should I tell you!"

"If you're from the Xiao Yinghua country, you're basically doomed!"

"Wouldn't that expose his information?"

Lu Yuan must not be exposed.

"If he really were exposed, he'd better not say anything."

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan let out a light scoff.

"Sorry, if you want specifics, I'm afraid I don't have time to answer you!"

"Oh? Why?"

"Lu Yuan, what's the reason? He really doesn't want to answer!"

"Besides, are you that low on emotional intelligence?"

"You ask your guest like that?"

"It's not me saying it; I'm really speechless!"

"Very speechless!"

"Sorry, I think as a guest I don't need to answer you."

"Makes sense; then may I ask how you got in?"

"Lu Yuan? What's the difference between that and where I come from?"

Lu Yuan rubbed his temples.

But he still said, truthfully: "I came from the battlefield."

"I just didn't expect… I'd end up here."

"Oh? You mean the battle between Xiao Yinghua state and the Great Qin Dynasty?"

"How do you know?"

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes, wariness flashing in their depths.

Upon hearing that, the person not only didn't get angry,

but showed a smile long absent.

"Because, I am one of the persons in charge of this camp."

"So, you're from the Great Qin Dynasty?"

"I suppose so."

Lu Yuan did not answer directly.

He did not want to expose his information.

"You seem to have considerable hostility toward me."

"Hmm, you seem rather boring."

"Hahaha… I've always been told I'm boring."

King Qi laughed out loud, yet there was not the slightest hint of a smile in his eyes.

"If I say we have never killed anyone, would you believe me?"

"Oh?" Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows, the confusion in his eyes growing more apparent.

Yes, it turns out to be a battle, and King Qi has already appeared here as a combatant.

Then does he have any other explanation?

But no matter how he explains, it won't conceal the fact that he is part of the Small Cherry Blossom Unit!

"In other words, you admit you have a problem?"

"I have never denied it."

After saying that, the person lifted the tea cup and took a gentle sip.

The tea burst in his mouth.

He suddenly laughed out loud. (End of chapter)
