ll felt it couldn’t quite add up. Was he really that lucky? It just so happened that an old freak was in closed-door cultivation at the bottom of the lake? Then the old freak was at the n.o.ble Lord Realm? And he hated injustice as his enemy? On top of that, he couldn’t see anyone from outside bullying people of the Thousand-island Lake?

If this old freaky hated injustice so much, it was not likely that n.o.body heard a thing about him in so many years. According to the words of Chief Steward Bai, the Bai Family didn’t get any information about this old freak.

A powerful warrior of the n.o.ble Lord Realm, a one that had perceived "Force", and he remained so unknown? How could he remain such a low-key? This was not right.

What if it was not a coincidence?

So, could it be done…on purpose?

This one was trying to save him? The matter would be burdened with more doubts under this case. He knew no warrior of the n.o.ble Lord Realm. Even the most powerful warriors in the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race were only at the peak of the Eternal Realm.

Then there was another possibility. Was this man left behind by his father Lu Renhuang to save him?

It didn’t make any sense. Lu Li had been in so many troubles and Lu Ling even died once. If Lu Renhuang arranged somebody to protect them, then why didn’t he do anything before? Why didn’t he show up the night at the Wu Ling County when Lu Ling was burnt to death?

He couldn’t figure this out!

Lu Li again felt the matter riddled with mystery. He had a feeling that there was some huge secret buried in this matter. Yet at this moment, he was not of enough power to poke through the veil. He had a feeling that when his power reached a certain stage, maybe he could unsolved all the mysterious.

Nothing much left to think about.

Lu Li focused on healing his wound, leaving all the messy things aside. Things always turned out well. As for what would happen next, he would take measures according to the actual situation. At least he had a way out now since he could get into the small world of the Cyan Phoenix Race.

After healing for half a day, some maids sent over some delicious food at evening. Chief Steward Bai went and checked on him one more time, with such good att.i.tude.

Lu Li could stand up after a fas.h.i.+on after being fully fed. Some maids helped him to the bathroom where he took an amazing bath. The maids even offered to help him in the bath, to which he said no.

Refreshed with the bath, Lu Li felt his wounds were getting better after days of recovery. He thought he could get back to the Blood Evil Island after three or five days.

Since he never really thought about joining the Bai Family, Lu Li felt uncomfortable living here. He aspired to get back to the Blood Evil Island as soon as possible to have Hunch Back Tian to see the scroll and the parchment. He also wanted to find some files in secret to identify the Mystical Materials in the Interspatial Ring and the golden dragon-shaped gra.s.s in the jade boxes.

Lu Li went back to his room after he toured around the castle. Little White woke up from its nap and Lu Li fed some Fire Jade Spars which Little White gobbled down with delight.

"Lord Lu!"

Some maid suddenly went in to repot, "Lady Qiuxue is here to see you. Do you want to see her in your room or outside?"

"Outside."

Lu Li could walk now. He felt embarra.s.sed to receive a guest in his own room. He walked out slowly, and was showed to the side chamber by the maid.

Bai Qiuxue was sitting there, wearing a light yellow dress with laces around the hem. On her earlobes were two purple beads, and she was wearing a purple gem necklace. The jewelry matched with her eyes. Lu Li couldn’t take his eyes off her as soon as he got in.

Seeing Lu Li walking in and suddenly stopping at the door, staring at her bluntly, Bai Qiuxue felt her face flus.h.i.+ng. Under the candle light, she looked so beautiful, second to none.

The maid dared not to alarm Lu Li. After the time for two breaths, Lu Li regained his composure. He coughed lightly embarra.s.singly and said, "Sorry, Lady Qiuxue, you are so stunning tonight. I am forgetting my manners."

It was not news for Bai Qiuxue to hear praises like this. Yet this time, she felt something unusual. She usually would be very confident in handling this kind of situation. However, this moment, she knew not what to say, other than nodding with a blush.

Lu Li walked to the chair next to Bai Qiuxue with the help of the maid and sat down. The maid retreated after she served tea.

Lu Li didn’t reserve himself. He took a sip of tea and said, "Lady Qiuxue, you are amazing tonight. I am speaking from my heart. And…what do you want to talk to me about?"

Seeing that Lu Li acting so freely and his eyes clear as water, Bai Qiuxue was surprised that he didn’t feel ill at ease or overly cautious at all.

So Lu Li had zero romantic feeling toward her? Just pure admiration? Otherwise why was he acting like all the other young masters? When all the other young masters sat next to her, they were so tense and would hold their breaths for fear that they might say something wrong.

On this thought, Bai Qiuxue felt a little disappointed. For the first time, she had doubts about her own charm.
