Chapter 569: Chapter 568: Small Talk Expert

"Both of you, the way we’ve met isn’t very friendly, but that doesn’t affect our communication going forward."

Spitting out a chicken bone onto the ground, Lu Zixun swung his legs and said, "I’m going to ask you two questions, don’t worry they won’t be beyond your capabilities, I hope you could cooperate to prevent some unpleasant things from happening."

"Just say what you want directly, Lord Xun, beating around the bush is unnecessary."

Guan Qingshuang, who had been captured, had no sign of discontent on her face, and looked at Lu Zixun very calmly.

"I thought you all liked this sort of thing, I even deliberately flipped through the notes on my phone."

With a light laugh, Lu Zixun changed the subject and asked, "Do you like Meng Yun?"

"Ah, what?"

Guan Qingshuang, not expecting Lu Zixun to suddenly bring up this topic, was naturally stunned.

A blush rose on her cheeks, making her look quite charmingly shy.

"Oh... So it seems you do. I was saying the Crimson has already pushed forward with the Genetic Optimization Formula."

Naturally, Lu Zixun wasn’t too interested in their romantic stories.

The reason he had asked this was merely to confirm the issue of the Genetic Optimization Formula.

With a light laugh, Lu Zixun took another skewer of grilled chicken wings.

Seeing the shock in Guan Qingshuang’s eyes, Lu Zixun said indifferently, "Alright, the second question, the purpose of the Crimson sending you into the ruins."

Witnessing Guan Qingshuang glance towards Meng Yun, who was blocked by the silhouette of Geng Xiyuan behind the soundproof barrier.

Lu Zixun spoke up, "Don’t think about matching testimony with Meng Yun, that’s not going to happen."

Immediately after, Guan Qingshuang fell silent, clearly intending to use silence to respond to Lu Zixun’s question.

Having no experience with interrogations, Lu Zixun was feeling quite frustrated at this moment.

Although he could directly kill the people from the Crimson to force Guan Qingshuang to answer, Lu Zixun thought about it and felt that if he did so, what difference would there be between him and the Crimson.

"I don’t want to make things difficult for you."

Shrugging, Lu Zixun took a sip of mineral water, "The fact that we can talk this peacefully now undoubtedly proves some of your concerns. Answer my questions honestly, and I’ll let you leave."

"Also, it’s best not to lie to me."

Lu Zixun smiled faintly looking at Guan Qingshuang, "You see, I’m a person who hates to be deceived."

The world suddenly went quiet, aside from the occasional popping sounds of the wood in the campfire, there were no other noises.

After a long pause, Guan Qingshuang finally spoke, "To delay time."

"Oh..."

Lu Zixun gave Guan Qingshuang a meaningful look and wiped his hands, "Seems like you know more than I thought, here I thought you’d say something like: ’It was a command from above’."

Only now did Guan Qingshuang realize she had been led into a trap by Lu Zixun, and a helpless look appeared on her face.

She never imagined Lu Zixun’s methods could be so sneaky.

"The Crimson surely knows you wouldn’t be able to kill me. Since it’s just about delaying time, it seems the ruins will only be open for a while longer and then return to the Void?"

Making a "tsk tsk" sound, Lu Zixun rubbed his neck, "In that case, I won’t be able to leave the ruins and the plan afterward is to replace me?"

Hearing this left Guan Qingshuang utterly shocked.

She thought Lu Zixun was just coaxing her into talking, but now it appeared Lu Zixun knew all of the Crimson’s plans.

Was there an undercover agent within the Crimson?

As Guan Qingshuang analyzed who the undercover might be, unbeknownst to her, all this was just Lu Zixun’s deduction.

However, Guan Qingshuang’s ghost-like expression turned Lu Zixun’s deduction into confirmed intelligence.

"If you want to replace me, being too stiff won’t work, lacking strength won’t work either. Having three types of Spiritual Energy is undoubtedly the strongest evidence, so ordinary people or a Spiritual Tool can’t do it."

With a slight smile, Lu Zixun continued, "If a Spiritual Tool can’t do it, then there’s only one possibility... a Sealed Item?"

"How do you know so much!"

Guan Qingshuang blurted out, making Lu Zixun’s smile grow even brighter.

"Miss Guan, thank you for cooperating, so... I have one last question."

He paused, Lu Zixun’s eyes narrowing, "What does the Crimson believe in?"

...

After comparing the statements of Guan Qingshuang and Meng Yun, Lu Zixun and the others headed towards the temple’s main gate to leave the ruins.

Lu Zixun pondered the existence of the Bloody Moon in his mind.

When Guan Qingshuang mentioned the Bloody Moon, Lu Zixun thought the Crimson also worshipped the Dark Night Goddess.

But after a bit of thought, it didn’t seem to be the case.

The Dark Night Goddess represents the night, which is full of the moon, which is why the Moon Watcher’s ability causes the crescent on their backhand to light up when they use it.

But the Bloody Moon...

Judging by the name, it should be a red moon. Lu Zixun had never seen a red moon in the Crimson Land, nor had he ever seen one in human society.

This means that the Moon Watcher and whatever deity the Crimson worships are not the same.

The Bloody Moon, huh?

After committing these four characters to memory, Lu Zixun and his companions arrived at the temple’s main gate.

At this moment, they could see the members of the Crimson who had entered the ruins gathered outside the gate, all in a state of alert.

Seeing this scene, Lu Zixun’s lips twitched, and he finally understood why he had been able to extract so much information from Guan Qingshuang, it turned out the girl was just a fool.

All other members of the Crimson knew to assemble at the gate since Lu Zixun had to pass through it to leave.

They could have just intercepted here, but Guan Qingshuang hadn’t done so.

As for why she hadn’t, that was not something Lu Zixun could know, and he didn’t particularly want to know.

After all, stupidity... can be contagious.

"Brother Xun, shall we fight our way out?"

Geng Xiyuan, seeing the throng of Crimson members, had a look of fighting spirit on his face and was ready to charge out at Lu Zixun’s command.

"Let the brothers conserve their strength, I’ll handle this."

Most Crimson members were J-level.

And Lu Zixun, as an I-level Spiritual Ability User, even if their numbers were to multiply several times, could easily handle them.

Such is the nature of overwhelming power.

Lu Zixun, with his Ice and Fire Domain activated, enveloped his Demon Country companions within it and walked calmly at the front of the group: "Members of the Crimson, step aside, or else... no mercy will be shown!"

The commander, feeling the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy from Lu Zixun, changed color and was about to say something.

Lu Zixun, carrying his Ice and Fire Domain, simply walked over.

The members of the Crimson enveloped by the Domain were frozen into ice cubes, all the while being continuously burned by Spiritual Fire.
