Chapter 116: Is She Possibly the Empress?
Luo Wusheng couldn't understand.
Why would all of these big events be happening in a single night?
Every time an event ends, just as when he thinks he can start to relax and everything is going smoothly, something has to go wrong.
Watching the contemplative expression on Miss Kirin's face, Luo Wusheng began to think about how to supplement the logic in his words.
There was no choice; a set of well-crafted lies needed to be interconnected, with one lie leading to another, even one true statement among them, but even doing all this couldn't guarantee complete safety, as one could never know where a flaw might be exposed.
So, he quickly concocted a little story in his mind.
From now on, he was just an onlooker with only a Golden Core cultivation who happened to be one of the first to suspect that the Netherkin was planning to rescue the Netherqueen. However, due to his limited cultivation, he could only stay on the periphery and observe the Tribulation Crossing cultivators battle.
Yes, being straightforward with this crude lie would be better than trying to hide anything.
Considering the tremendous commotion just now, he wondered how many people in the capital city came to investigate. Those who were even remotely aware of the Netherqueen's situation being related to the Ascending Immortality Lake weren't few.
He had just been a step ahead of everyone else.
As for the mysterious person who released the Netherqueen from her sealing formation?
Sorry, he wasn't very clear on that and suggest asking Long Dahai from the Red Blossom Pavilion instead.
As expected, his words about the Netherqueen being unsealed greatly affected Miss Kirin's thoughts. Many cultivators came to investigate after the commotion at the Ascending Immortality Lake, but they arrived too late. Even if they had come earlier, they would have been deterred by the power of the Tribulation Crossing battle.
Without the protection of the Human Emperor Sword like the previous time, it was risky, and due to the huge gap in strength, even if they were to watch the battle from the start, they would gain very little. In such a situation, most of these cultivators could only speculate about what had happened at the Ascending Immortality Lake from the periphery and didn't even dare to enter the dense forest around the lake.
On the other hand, someone like Luo Wusheng, who ventured into the forest, had already confirmed that the Netherqueen had been rescued, and there was likely not a single other person who had this knowledge.
'He knew that something might happen at the Ascending Immortality Lake? And he wasn't surprised by the Netherkin's plan to rescue the Netherqueen?'
Miss Kirin stared at the handsome Holy Saint in front of her, who seemed to be in sync with her thoughts. Luo Wusheng squinted his eyes and sighed.
"The Netherqueen hasn't appeared in public for quite some time, so when I learned about the Netherkin's plan on Royal City, I only speculated on whether the Netherking had another plan in case this one failed. I didn't consider the actions of the Netherqueen's group remnant from within the Netherkin Nation."
"Only after the Netherkin Extermination Operation is over did I have a bad feeling and remember about the previous Monarch of the Netherkin Nation."
"So, after bidding farewell to Miss Kirin earlier, I thought about it for a while and heard the commotion here. I became certain of some of my speculations and decided to come here to confirm, and I'm sure Miss Kirin can guess what happened next."
His words were sincere.
After all, most of what he said was true; he had just omitted the fact that the bad feeling he had was caused by the reappearance of the bald coachman, and the reason for his concern was about the Netherkin's ability to rescue the Netherqueen.
'It means that right after leaving earlier, he immediately came to the Ascending Immortality Lake, witnessed the battle between the Tribulation Crossing cultivators of the Immortal Nation and the Netherkin, and finally confirmed that the Netherqueen was freed?'
Miss Kirin quickly understood Luo Wusheng's implication.
"Indeed..." she nodded gently.
As she thought, this Holy Saint of the Demon Sect was still as inscrutable and seemingly all-knowing as she had known him before.
At this point, she had no idea how much classified information he held and what earth-shattering events he could deduce from that information. Compared to him, the intelligence chief of her own Six Gate Bureau seemed almost unworthy.
If not for his Golden Core cultivation foundation, she would have suspected that he might be the mysterious person who unsealed the Netherqueen.
Ah~
Luo Wusheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
For now, it seemed like he had managed to deceive her.
Miss Kirin already seemed to believe his previous explanation, but there was still a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Why did it happen this way? Luo Wusheng had a pretty good idea.
After all, his appearance at this location was a bit unfortunate, and the timing of her appearance was too coincidental.
The light pillar at the Ascending Immortality Lake had just dissipated, and the Netherqueen had only recently been freed from the lake. He had been hiding all this time, and now he was exposed.
And to top it off, he was even humming a tune.
All the suspicious elements were just too coincidental.
So many coincidences coming together made Luo Wusheng suspect that Yue Xuanji, who was in charge of his sudden teleportation, might have done it on purpose.
But why would that white-haired loli, who claimed to be able see everything, do this? Just to mess with him?
It shouldn't be the case.
According to his deduction, the Tower Master of the Heavenly Divination Tower should have already made some sort of arrangement with the Netherqueen. Otherwise, the Netherqueen wouldn't have entrusted her weakened self to Yue Xuanji.
If that was the case, in the future that the white haired Tower Master saw, he must have successfully taken the Netherqueen away.
But then, what was the point of having him encounter this predicament? And why would it have to be Miss Kirin?
What was so special about Miss Kirin?
Hmmm… Miss Kirin…A Golden-Ranked member of the Six Gate Bureau... A girl who had been bestowed the Human Emperor Sword Sheath by the Empress to deal with Netherkin Nation soldiers...
None of this character setting was added to her character profile.
A glimmer of realization flashed through Luo Wusheng's mind.
'If the Mortal Alter Ego of the Empress is not Yao Ji, then who else could be possible?'
When he thought of how the Empress are using her Mortal Alter Ego to living among the common people to have a better understanding their up and down, so that she can connect better with her people, one of the best way that he can think of is to become a member of an organization that would often engaging with the citizen, and becoming a member of the Six Gate Bureau member are one of them.
Following this line of thought, combined with how Yue Xuanji is the one who arranged for him to meet with Miss Kirin, the girl in front of him, the first Golden-Ranked member of the Six Gate Bureau he had ever meet, and the Royal City personnel whom he had the most contact with….
Was it possible that she was the true Mortal Alter Ego of the Immortal Nation Empress?
