Chapter 779: Luo Xuan Isn’t Dead
Ji Fengxing exclaimed in shock, "She’s not dead? H-how’s that possible? What is the Sky Martial Court searching for all these years, then?"
Meng Changdong said, "Many of the Sky Martial Court’s explorations had great impacts on the original cultivation systems. This was especially true after the speculation that foreign worlds appeared. The Sky Martial Court was condemned in word and shunned by the major sects. Everyone was of the opinion that the red lotus was the only lotus there is. Luo Xuan was labeled as a lunatic by the masses. Then, she went missing for a long time. Slightly more than 10 years ago, my friend in the Sky Martial Court told me that Luo Xuan has been found. The Sky Martial Court had imprisoned her."
Lu Zhou looked at Meng Changdong appreciatively. He felt that he had recruited quite a useful guardian. He asked, "Are you sure?"
"Since I’ve decided to follow you, Senior Lu, I’ll naturally tell you everything I know. To answer your question, I’m not sure. The information needs to be verified," Meng Changdong answered honestly.
"I’ll leave the investigation to you."
"Understood." Meng Changdong was an elder of the Flying Star House, after all. He had connections in the Sky Martial Court and was more knowledgeable compared to the others.
Lu Zhou turned to look at Conch. If Meng Changdong’s words were true, it was impossible for Conch to be Luo Xuan.
Xia Changqiu sighed and said, "Conch’s talents are similar to Luo Xuan’s… Could she be Luo Xuan’s descendant?"
The others nodded. This was a plausible theory.
Yu Zhenghai said, "If she’s only a descendant, her abilities and memories shouldn’t be in this awakening state. There are many wonders in the world. Perhaps, Little Junior Sister is just a genius. It’s not impossible for two people to possess the same abilities."
"There’s no need to guess… I’ll get to the bottom of Conch’s background myself." Lu Zhou glanced at Conch.
‘Since Conch remembers the palace, this means she had been to the palace before. There should be someone there who knows her. We should be able to find the key to the box there.’
"Conch, you remember the key, right?"
Conch nodded and answered, "Pure gold."
"Pure gold?"
Meng Changdong joined in and said, "Pure gold is the truest gold. Indeed, it can only be found in the palace. The keyhole is extremely small. It looks like a… hairpin."
"Guardian Meng is right." Xia Changqiu nodded in agreement.
"Pure gold has always been the preferred ornament to showcase one’s status. Moreover, it’s suitable to be made into ornaments."
Conch nodded. "Mhm!"
A vague idea appeared in Lu Zhou’s mind. However, the palace was huge, and its defenses could not be investigated. Was he supposed to sneak into the palace and the harem? ‘I don’t think that this course of action suits my style.’
After mulling over it for a moment, Lu Zhoucame up with a rough plan. "If there’s nothing else, that will be all."
"Understood."
The others bowed and left.
…
At dusk.
Baa!
A long bleat resounded through the Thousand Willow Monastery; a beast had appeared above the Thousand Willow Monastery.
The Thousand Willow Monastery disciples and elders who were cultivating in front of the Fair Hall were shocked when they looked up and saw the beast.
