However, Lu Beiyou's mind was in chaos again. After thinking for a while, he returned to the tavern.

As he laid on the bed, Lu Beiyou began to sort through his gains of the past few days. He thought that if the death gate's test was really that simple, and if he could once again slaughter his way back, Lu Beiyou would be able to pass this trial right now.

But suddenly, the image of a young lady chattering away beside him appeared in his mind, causing Lu Beiyou to be stunned for a moment.

The young girl who secretly brought food to help the poor citizens every night, the old servant who always followed behind him with a worried face, the Lord Prefect who bullied men and women into their village, and the poor citizens who had a fanatical expression when they saw him.

These things were like prey on a spider web, they were unrelated and tightly interlinked. However, Lu Beiyou could not see them clearly, as if there was an invisible mystery mist that covered his eyes.

He could not help but feel irritated as he walked out of his room and went downstairs.

"Waiter, serve the wine."

When the waiter heard this, he ran over and saw that the one speaking was a young boy. He couldn't help but say: "Go go, go. Children, what do you want to drink?"

Lu Beiyou was startled upon hearing this, and only now did he remember that he was only eleven or twelve years old, so he did not refute her as he took out a tael of silver and placed it on the table.

"Will that be enough for me?"

The waiter hesitated for a moment before finally accepting the silver and walking towards the backyard. After a while, the waiter walked over with a jug of wine and a pot of tea.

Lu Beiyou's heart was a lot more at ease now, he asked the waiter: "Waiter, do you know of the Li Residence?"

The originally pretty face of the waiter suddenly changed. He looked around and saw that no one was scolding him in a low voice: "You little brat, you want to die. How dare you talk about the Li Residence in front of so many people."

Lu Beiyou who was pouring wine for himself heard this and stopped what he was doing. He stared straight at the waiter, as if he knew something.

Lu Beiyou put down the wine cup in his hand, took out another silver from his bosom, and said softly: "I'll have to trouble Little Brother to tell me what you know, this small amount of money is enough for me to buy Little Brother wine."

Seeing Lu Beiyou's attitude, the waiter's expression changed, but he did not receive the silver. He looked at Lu Beiyou and said: "I'm not talking about you, the Li Residence is not something that a stinking brat like you can mess with. There were even some cultivators who came to the Li Residence earlier, but were unable to step out. "If you have any thoughts about the Li Residence, I advise you to give up as soon as possible."

Cultivators!

Lu Beiyou thought about the two black clothed figures he saw today and suddenly wanted to grab something.

Seeing that the waiter was about to turn around and leave, Lu Beiyou instantly went to the waiter's side and knocked him out.

"Sorry, you should get some sleep today."

With that, Lu Beiyou pressed his hand on the waiter's head, looking for memories.

At this time, the Soul Searching Technique that the great master passed to Lu Beiyou before he descended the mountain was just for Lu Beiyou to complete his mission smoothly.

Afterwards, Lu Beiyou lost his memories and could not remember anything, but at this time, the cultivation technique on Lu Beiyou's body was still intact.

After a while, Lu Beiyou suddenly opened his eyes.

After getting the information from the waiter's memory, Lu Beiyou had completely sorted out all of his thoughts.

Lu Beiyou returned to his room, picked up his sword and rushed in the direction of the Li Residence.

He had to make it in time!

At the same time, in a room filled with a faint fragrance, a black figure was looking at the girl sleeping soundly with a conflicted expression.

After a while, the silhouette finally raised the sharp blade in its hand.

Just as the blade was about to touch the girl's body, a white sword beam suddenly shot over.

After slicing the blade in the black shadow's hand into two, Lu Beiyou stood in front of the door while panting heavily.

"Who are you?!"

The black clothed figure shouted loudly towards Lu Beiyou, but Lu Beiyou did not speak and instead slashed towards the black clothed figure.

His figure suddenly disappeared, and Lu Beiyou immediately went to the girl's bed, only to discover that the girl's body was still as soundly asleep as it was before, without the slightest injury, causing him to heave a sigh of relief.

Just then, the old servant who had always been following behind the young lady rushed in after hearing the commotion, and shouted out when he saw Lu Beiyou: "Who are you?!"

Lu Beiyou turned his head to look at the old servant, his eyes revealing a dangerous glint.

The young girl was awoken by the noise as well. When she saw Lu Beiyou, she immediately blushed and screamed.

"Little Jian, why are you in my room? I... I'm not ready yet. "

Under the girl's words, the icy atmosphere instantly turned charming and gentle.

Lu Beiyou said to the girl snappily. "If I hadn't come, you would have died long ago!"

Hearing that, the old servant's eyes flashed with a look of panic, which was immediately noticed by Lu Beiyou. But Lu Beiyou saw another kind of expression in his eyes — anger!

When the girl heard this, she could not help but shriek as she saw the two blades on her bed break into two.

He anxiously jumped off the bed and rushed into Lu Beiyou's embrace, not caring about the thin clothes on his body, he was obviously extremely afraid.

"Little Jian, am, am I going to die?"

Lu Beiyou snappily used his jacket to cover the girl up, "What about me, why would I die?!"

After saying that, he looked at the old servant and said, "I have something I need to do next. Can you protect her?"

This time, the old servant actually did not speak and only looked at Lu Beiyou quietly. The two of them faced each other for a long time before finally nodding their heads. However, he said, "How do you know who I am?"

"Ten-odd years ago, a cultivator came to the Li Residence. However, he fell in love with the Martial House Master at first sight. After the incident with him, the Martial House Master was beaten to death, and that cultivator had also disappeared without a trace. Although this matter was suppressed by the Li Residence, the news had still spread. The Li Residence was enraged and sent a large sum of money to invite people to kill everyone who knew about this matter. "

Lu Beiyou slowly spoke out, "And at that time, there was only one old servant of the Li Clan who managed to escape death because he needed to attend to the Li Residence and had just learned how to speak to Miss. Before that cultivator left, he said that the Li Residence would return once again, and at that time, the Li Residence would be treated as a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. "

The old servant heard but did not say anything, obviously agreeing with Lu Beiyou's words.

"However, the Li Residence was already the overlord of this region, so they did not take the words of the cultivators to heart. However, the old servant that had been serving Madame Li was still holding a grudge in his heart. He thought that if it wasn't for that cultivator, Madame Li, who had been accompanying him, would not have died. If it wasn't for Martial House Master Li, Li Residence's Miss wouldn't have lost her mother at such a young age. Thus, he chose to seek revenge. Am I right, Li Residence's servant, Li Luoshen? "
