But Mu Zhixing’s gaze didn’t fall on the Dong family head’s face but on the book in his hand, and his pupils constricted. “The Book of Life and Death!”
“You’re indeed here for the Book of Life and Death.” Zhou Shu’s lips curled up slightly. “Mu Zhixing!”
Mu Zhixing narrowed his eyes, and a stormy wave flashed across his eyes.
His heart was in turmoil, but the expression on his face didn’t change much. “What did you say? Who’s Mu Zhixing?” Mu Zhixing stared at the Dong family head.
“Your acting skills are really average.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “Since I’ve already called out your name, do you think there’s any point in denying it?”
Mu Zhixing narrowed his eyes and looked at the Dong family head. A smile suddenly appeared on his face. “You’re not Dong Feilong. You’re the Dong Liu from before!
“No, you’re not Dong Liu. You’re not a member of the Dong family at all! Like me, you’re here for the Book of Life and Death, right?
“What a good move!”
Mu Zhixing clicked his tongue in wonder. “Your appearance and aura are flawless. I can’t even see any flaws. You’re really good!
“Someone who has such ability and knows me... King Zhou, I really didn’t expect you to come to the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom.”
Mu Zhixing stared at Zhou Shu without blinking.
The expression on Zhou Shu’s face didn’t change at all. He just looked at Mu Zhixing without avoiding his gaze.
He looked calm, not nervous at all about being exposed.
Mu Zhixing looked at Zhou Shu for a long time and frowned. “It’s useless no matter how much you pretend! Apart from you, no one else can recognize me!
You’re Zhou Shu!”
“I’m not pretending,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “This is acting!
“Aren’t you having second thoughts? Do you see it? This is acting. If I don’t admit it, you’ll never recognize me.”
In fact, Mu Zhixing had long known through his ways that the Black Emperor had died and that Zhou Shu was missing.
If things went as he expected, Zhou Shu and Wu Gang had paid a considerable price to kill the Black Emperor. Since Wu Gang went crazy, Zhou Shu would probably not be unharmed.
Mu Zhixing already had a guess.
“Wu Gang is still alive. I met him by chance in the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom,” Mu Zhixing said. “He wants to find the Book of Life and Death. I think he has a close relationship with you, King Zhou, so I’m helping him. That’s why I’m here.”
Zhou Shu sneered. This bastard Mu Zhixingis full oflies. You came to the Dong family to help Wu Gang find the Book ofLife and Death? Do you think I will believe you?!
Zhou Shu knew very well what kind of person Mu Zhixing was. It would be strange if he was willing to help Wu Gang!
He had no relationship with Wu Gang at all. It would be even more ridiculous to say that he was giving him face.
“Alright, there’s no need to explain. The Book of Life and Death is already in my hands. If you don’t want it, very good. I’ll just give it to Wu Gang,” Zhou Shu said. “I’ll call Wu Gang over now.”
Mu Zhixing:
Wu Gang is crazy now. Why are you calling him over?Are you really going to hand the Book of Life and Death over to a lunatic?
Mu Zhixing looked conflicted. Should I tell Zhou Shu?
“Mu Zhixing, this Book of Life and Death is useless to me. Are you sure you don’t want it?” Zhou Shu said with a faint smile.
“Alright, King Zhou, you win!” Mu Zhixing gritted his teeth. “I do want the Book of Life and Death! Tell me what conditions you need to give me the Book of Life and Death!”
Although Mu Zhixing suspected that Zhou Shu, like Wu Gang, had been seriously injured in the battle with the Black Emperor, Mu Zhixing had no intention of snatching it.
Mu Zhixing knew better than anyone that a person like Zhou Shu wasn’t easy to deal with. How could it be so easy to take advantage of him?
Previously, he had tricked him in the Glacial Palace. How long has it been? He had already tricked him back.
Mu Zhixing was almost certain that Zhou Shu had exposed his identity in front of the Dong family to take revenge.
Moreover, even if Mu Zhixing wanted to snatch the Book of Life and Death, he couldn’t do it now.
The Dong family’s array was no joke.
Zhou Shu said with a smile, “How much can you pay for the Book of Life and Death?”
