Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

It took Ji Xianchen less than an hour to go back and forth.

When he returned to Xuan Palace, Elder Lu was still unconscious.

Beside Elder Lu, Qin Shuheng watched over him diligently and never left.

When Qin Shuheng saw Ji Xianchen coming back for the first time, he intuitively felt an aura of despair emanating from him.

My heart tightened. Was this... the conversation with the former Xuan Lord going bad?

Qin Shuheng didn't dare to ask what happened. This was a matter between father and son and it was not something he could interfere with.

But looking at Ji Xianchen's appearance, he was really worried.

"Third brother..." Qin Shuheng spoke carefully, trying to comfort Ji Xianchen.

"Get out." Ji Xianchen just sat down on the empty chair next to Elder Lu, closed his eyes, and looked like he didn't want to say anything more.

Qin Shuheng stood there in a daze, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing and quietly left the room.

Now only Ji Xianchen and the unconscious Elder Lu were left in the room, and the silence was suffocating.

In this dead silence, Elder Lu slowly woke up.

After Elder Lu opened his eyes, he took a long time to realize what had happened to him.

Someone knocked him out.

The biggest suspect is——

"You knocked me out?" Elder Lu looked at Ji Xianchen with a questioning look.

He clearly remembered that there were only three people present at that time: himself, Lord Xuan, and Captain Qin.

Captain Qin was only a martial artist at level seven, and had no ability to knock him out when he was completely off guard. As for Lord Xuan... it was said that he was at level six, but no one could tell his exact strength. After all, no one had ever seen him in action, so it had always been a mystery.

Elder Lu was more inclined to believe that Lord Xuan had hidden his strength. Since he was able to knock him out with one palm strike, his martial arts level must have reached at least the eighth level.

Thinking of this, Elder Lu's eyes became sharper, "Master Xuan, if you don't explain clearly, I'm afraid that the fact that you're hiding your strength will become known to everyone."

There was a hint of threat in his tone.

The aristocratic families do not want a Xuanzhou master with outstanding strength. In other words, the aristocratic families only want a vase that is obedient and submissive to them.

If Lord Xuan is too powerful, there is no guarantee that he will not rebel.

The aristocratic families would never allow any threat to their status and power.

Therefore, if the noble families knew that Ji Xianchen had hidden his strength, he would be in great trouble.

Elder Lu didn't care why Ji Xianchen concealed his martial arts level, he just wanted to know why he knocked him out.

Facing Elder Lu's question, Ji Xianchen did not respond directly, but instead brought up another matter: "Elder Lu, have you noticed that things are not going well in the Li family recently?"

Elder Lu frowned. Although he didn't know why the Xuan Lord suddenly mentioned the Li family, he still replied, "Something did happen, but what does it have to do with you knocking me out?"

He wasn't easily diverted.

Ji Xianchen still spoke in a leisurely tone: "I heard that Elder Lu chose to be an elder in the Li family because he was attracted by the background and resources of the Li family. But what if the Li family collapsed? Where will Elder Lu go?"

When Elder Lu heard this, he was so shocked that he trembled. He widened his eyes and loudly refuted: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could the Li family fall?!"

Is this Master Xuan crazy?

Ji Xianchen was indeed crazy. He went crazy from the moment he confirmed that Fu Lan was the mastermind behind all this.

"Is it possible? I think the elder should have an idea in his mind. You have been in the Li family for so many years. You must have noticed what the Li clan leader did secretly."

Elder Lu's face suddenly darkened, his eyes flickering: "Even if I noticed something, so what? As the head of the aristocratic family, the Li family can't just fall down even if they made a mistake."

As Ji Xianchen said, Elder Lu did vaguely sense that Li Qingchi was doing something in private, and it was not a good thing, but he chose not to ask or hear anything, simply because he just wanted to be an idle elder, live a stable life, and did not want to get involved in these right and wrongs.

But now that Ji Xianchen had revealed all of this, Elder Lu became curious about what Li Qingchi was doing that made Ji Xianchen say that the Li family was going to fall.

"What do you know?" asked Elder Lu.

Ji Xianchen: "I don't know the details yet, but I am sure that once this matter is exposed, the Li family will suffer a devastating disaster."

As long as the fact that Li Qingchi caught innocent people and drew blood is exposed, will the Li family still exist?

No matter how powerful the Li family is, can they match the millions of people in Xuanzhou?

Xuanzhou can drown the Li family with just a mouthful of spit from each person.

"Elder Lu, I am only saying this to remind you to make plans early. The Li family can no longer be your safe haven."

Elder Lu fell into deep thought after hearing this.

After a while, he slowly spoke: "Master Xuan, tell me what you want me to do."

He didn't believe that Ji Xianchen said these just to remind him out of kindness.

"The elder is indeed a wise man." Ji Xianchen said, pushing the silver ring in front of Elder Lu, "Please forget about your fainting. Of course, I won't make things difficult for you. This ring belongs to my mother. You can take it back and report it."

Ji Xianchen left the ring behind on purpose, and did not give the letter to Fu Lan.

This is what he planned, if Fu Lan was not the mastermind behind all this, he would give him both things and Naito would find a way to save him.

But if Fu Lan is the one, then he will only give the letter and leave the ring to the noble family to ensure Naitu's safety.

"Is that all?" Elder Lu frowned, a little surprised by Ji Xianchen's conditions.

It’s too simple.

I thought he would ask me to help rescue his men or something.

“That’s it.” Ji Xianchen said.

Elder Lu picked up the ring and looked at Ji Xianchen, "Aren't you afraid that I will bite you back when I return?"

"I'm not afraid, because I believe the elder is a smart person and will not do something that harms others and does not benefit himself."

Elder Lu laughed with an ambiguous tone, "It seems that Master Xuan has investigated me and knows that I am most afraid of trouble. If it were other elders, you would have other tricks to deal with them, right?"

Ji Xianchen did not comment, "The elder is a good person."

"Alright, there's no need to say nice things." Elder Lu put the ring away and stood up. "I won't say anything more about your affairs. This is my reward for your reminder today."

He had to go back quickly. The later he delayed, the bigger the problem would be. He hated trouble and didn't want to waste his time making up excuses for why he had been gone for so long.

"Goodbye, Elder." Ji Xianchen stood up and said politely.

Elder Lu waved his hand and left quickly, looking like he was really in a hurry.
