Chapter 358 Rejection
"Do you think I'll go back to look for the life I've given up once?" After Lu Li finished speaking, he continued to lower his head and prepare to clean up.

"Yes!" Lu Xiong's decisive answer made him raise his head again.

"Aren't you trying to get back your previous life now?"

Lu Xiong's words left Lu Li speechless for a moment.

After being silent for a long time, he slowly spoke.

"Maybe you're right, I'm just trying to get back to my previous life, and it has nothing to do with me not going back and continuing to be the acting city lord!

I like my previous life, that's why I want to get it back. As for going back to be the city lord, I'm really tired of it!

What's more, isn't there you, the real city lord, here now, when is it my turn to embarrass myself? "

"Let me make it clear that you are different from me. The last time Gui'er passed away suddenly, I made such a crazy move. Although it is not completely alienated, I am afraid it will be difficult to return to the original relationship with everyone. !

So I am not coming back this time to return to the position of the city lord, but I want to assist you to sit in that position!

Although you have not been in office for a long time, it can be seen from the government orders you issued that you are still very attentive in managing Luofeng City!

Maybe your experience as a city lord is really lacking, but these can be made up for slowly. If you add my assistance, I believe you can become a qualified city lord in a short time!
Don't you want to consider my proposal? "When Lu Xiong said these words, the expression on his face was very sincere. Obviously, these words were all his true thoughts from the heart.

"...Then you first need to tell me why you did this? It's not because you want me to take the blame for something irreversible, right?" Lu Li gave him a cold look.

There is a saying that is good.

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief.

Lu Xiong's conditions are really too generous, so generous that he feels very false.

Back then, he was one of the people who faced the savage beast tide, and he had a deep understanding of Lu Xiong's madness.

He didn't believe that Lu Xiong could completely quell the hatred in his heart in such a short period of time.

"...Do you think I came back to continue revenge?" Lu Xiong was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed.

After laughing for a while, the expression on his face regained his calmness: "Actually, I also know that Gui'er's death has nothing to do with everyone. Speaking of which, my venting my anger is what caused the greatest harm to everyone!

So I came back this time not for revenge, but for redemption!

For me, but also for Gui'er under the Nine Springs!I want to make some amends to everyone. "

"Well, even if what you said is true, what does this have to do with me?
As I have already said, I don't want to go back and be a city lord anymore. If you want to assist, you can choose anyone at will.

With the help of you, the former city lord, as long as you are not too stupid, I am afraid that you can become a qualified city lord in the end.

It doesn't have to be me, right? "Lu Xiong said so much, but Lu Li still looked indifferent, obviously made up his mind and didn't go back any more.

"This..." Lu Xiong frowned, he didn't expect Lu Li to act like this.

"Actually...if you really don't have a suitable candidate, I can recommend someone for you!" Lu Li's words made Lu Xiong's eyes light up.

"Who?"

"You also know this person, my son——Lu Buyuan. You want to assist a good city lord to serve everyone, and I actually want to make up for the lack of Buyuan all these years.

So, if he has the intention of becoming the city lord, I think you can assist him, even though he is only your nephew..."

"Yes!" Lu Xiong nodded before Lu Li finished speaking.

"Where is nephew Buyuan now?"

Lu Li: "He is probably presiding over the funeral ceremony for the old castellan at the castellan's mansion right now?"

Lu Xiong was a little strange: "Are you still blaming him? You don't even want to call him father? Although I don't know what happened between you two, he is still your biological father after all, and death is the most important thing for you. Are you going to attend his funeral?"

"He's not worthy! He..." Hearing Lu Xiong's words, Lu Li suddenly became agitated, but he suddenly stopped talking halfway through.

"Anyway, for a shameless person like him, I don't want to have anything to do with him in my life!"

Lu Xiong took a deep look at him.

He knew that there might be a deep reason behind it, but since Lu Li didn't want to say more, he couldn't continue to ask.

"In that case, I'll go back to the City Lord's Mansion first. If you change your mind or if you need anything, you can come to the City Lord's Mansion to find me!"

After Lu Xiong finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Lu Li's words made him stop.

"You... do you know that there are lizard people entrenched near Luofeng City?"

"You mean the lizard people who made a deal with him?"

Who is he referring to?Lu Xiong didn't say it clearly, but Lu Li, who witnessed the transaction with his own eyes, understood it all at once.

"You know?!" Lu Li looked very surprised.

This can't be blamed on him, he knew something about Lu Xiong's search for Lu Caigui's body in Xuemao Mountain, but he didn't expect that the other party was not in Luofeng City, but he knew such a secret thing like the palm of his hand.

Seeing Lu Li's surprised look, Lu Xiong nodded slightly.

"It was told to me by a mysterious person named Feng Xialiu. Feng Xialiu told me about his deal with the lizard people, and... his soul was taken away, and the lizard people were wiped out by Feng Xialiu."

"He was taken away by Feng Xialiu?" Lu Li frowned, but he searched his mind, but he still didn't have the slightest impression of the name.

"Who is this Willow in the Wind?"

Lu Xiong shook his head.

"I don't know, it's the first time I've heard of this name, but..."

After hesitating for a while, Lu Xiong continued, "I suspect he came from the imperial capital..."

"The executioner?!"

Lu Li once heard that there is a special department in the imperial dynasty, which is dedicated to dealing with the ruling class that endangers the imperial rule.

And the name of this department is the Executioner—the person who is in charge of the criminal law and convicts.

"That's right, it's just that the feeling he gives me is a little different... Forget it, it's useless to think about it! If there's nothing else, I'll leave first...

If you have time, I still hope that you can go there and attend his funeral, which can be regarded as a farewell to him. "

"I'll think about it." Lu Li replied casually.
