Ye Ling'er took a deep breath and said slowly: "Now that you have discovered it, I have nothing to hide. I am indeed not the real Ye Ling'er."
Lu Yuan frowned, with a trace of anger in his eyes: "Who are you? Where is the real Ye Ling'er? Why did you pretend to be her and approach us?"
Ye Ling'er smiled bitterly: "My name is Lin Yue, and I am Ye Ling'er's personal maid. The real Ling'er was imprisoned by the palace master. I did this to save her."
Lu Yuan snorted coldly: "Save her? Then why don't you tell us the truth directly? Instead of hiding it from us and using us?"
A trace of guilt flashed in Lin Yue's eyes: "I know what I did was wrong, but I have no other way. The power of the Palace Master is too powerful. If I tell you the truth directly, you may not believe me, and you may be alerted. , putting Ling'er into a more dangerous situation."
Lu Yuan was silent for a moment. He knew that what Lin Yue said made sense. But he still couldn't accept the fact that he was being taken advantage of.
"Then what is your purpose? Is it just to save Ye Ling'er?"
Lu Yuan continued to ask.
Lin Yue nodded: "Yes, my purpose is to save Ling'er."
"The Palace Master has always wanted to get a treasure from Ling'er. That treasure is very important to Ling'er. She would rather die than give it to the Palace Master."
"That's why I came up with this method, hoping to use your strength to rescue Ling'er and regain the treasure."
Lu Yuan frowned: "What treasure? Is it worth taking such a big risk?"
Lin Yue hesitated for a moment and said: "This treasure is called the Water Lingzhu. It is an heirloom of our family. It has powerful power and can control the water element. The palace master has always coveted the power of the Water Lingzhu and wants to keep it for himself."
Lu Yuan's heart moved, and he remembered that during the battle in Netherworld Palace, Ye Ling'er did seem to show some abilities related to the water element.
"Then why did you choose us? We are strangers to you, why do you think we will help you?"
Lu Yuan asked.
Lin Yue looked at Lu Yuan and said sincerely: "I feel a sense of justice in you. I believe you will definitely help us. Moreover, you are also very strong. With your help, we can succeed." The probability will be greater.”
Lu Yuan looked at Lin Yue, and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated.
He knew that Lin Yue did such a thing to save his master.
"Then what are you going to do now?" Lu Yuan asked.
Lin Yue's eyes flashed with determination: "We are almost to Qingfeng Town, and that is our territory. I will find an opportunity to take you to rescue Ling'er, and then take back the Water Spirit Pearl together."
Lu Yuan nodded: "Well, now that things have developed to this point, we can only take it one step at a time. But remember, if you dare to make any small moves again, I will never let you go."
Lin Yue nodded quickly: "I know, I won't lie to you anymore." Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows, stared at Lin Yue with burning eyes, and sneered: "Lin Yue, you are still lying now, do you really think we are Is it so easy to cheat? ”
Lin Yue's expression changed, and he pretended to be calm and said: "Master Lu, why did you say this? Everything I said is true, and there is absolutely no lie."
Lu Yuan snorted coldly, took a step forward, and said, "You said you are Ye Ling'er's personal maid, then let me ask you, where is the birthmark on Ye Ling'er's body?"
Lin Yue was suddenly speechless, his eyes began to dodge, and he was speechless.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan became more sure of his guess, and continued: "Also, you said that the palace master covets the water spirit bead, but as far as I know, the palace master of the Netherworld Palace is good at poison magic, and he can control the treasures of the water element. Not interested at all. What is your purpose in making up such a lie?”
Seeing that the matter was revealed, Lin Yue knelt on the ground with a plop and said with tears in his eyes: "Master Lu, I know I was wrong. I do have something to hide from you. But I really want to save Ling'er. Please believe me. .”
Lu Yuan frowned and looked at Lin Yue kneeling on the ground, feeling hesitant in his heart. The companion on the side saw this and said: "Lu Yuan, don't listen to her. She is full of lies. Who knows whether what she said this time is true or false."
After Lu Yuan thought for a moment, he said: "Get up and tell everything clearly. If you dare to tell a lie again this time, don't blame us for being rude."
Lin Yue stood up, wiped her tears, and said slowly: "Actually, Ling'er was not imprisoned by the palace master, but she stayed in the palace voluntarily."
After Lu Yuan and others heard this, they were shocked and asked in unison: "What's going on?"
Lin Yue took a deep breath and said: "Ling'er discovered that the palace master was secretly planning a huge conspiracy, which would endanger the entire martial arts world. In order to stop the palace master, she decided to go deep into the palace to look for evidence. And I, in order to help Ling Son, I just made up these lies to lure you into the palace together.”
Lu Yuan frowned and asked: "What about the water spirit beads?"
Lin Yue said: "Shui Lingzhu is indeed an heirloom of our family, but it is not what the palace master wants. What the palace master really wants is a secret book in Ling'er's hand. It is said that this secret book contains a secret This kind of peerless martial arts, once mastered, can dominate the martial arts world.”
Lu Yuan and others looked at each other, not expecting that things would be so complicated. Lu Yuan asked: "Then why don't you just tell us the truth?"
Lin Yue said helplessly: "I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you the truth directly, and this matter is of great importance. I can't risk letting the palace master notice our plan."
Lu Yuan was silent for a while and said: "Okay, I believe what you said for now. What are you going to do now?"
A trace of determination flashed in Lin Yue's eyes, and he said: "We should go to Qingfeng Town as planned, and then I will find a way to contact Ling'er to see the situation on her side. If there is a chance, we will enter the palace together and stop the palace owner. The conspiracy.”
Lu Yuan nodded and said: "Okay, let's do it. However, you'd better not play any more tricks, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."
On the way to Qingfeng Town, Lu Yuan and others' attitude towards Lin Yue was obviously much colder. Lin Yue also knew that his behavior caused their dissatisfaction, so he was careful not to conflict with them along the way.
Finally, the group arrived at Qingfeng Town. Lin Yue led them to a secluded courtyard and said: "This is our destination. You guys take a rest here first, and I will contact Ling'er."
After saying that, Lin Yue left in a hurry. Lu Yuan and others looked around in the small courtyard and found that although it was simple, it was very warmly decorated. (End of chapter)
