Chapter 266 – Li Changqing in the Lamp
Upon seeing that face, Li Hengsheng finally understood why the voice sounded so familiar. Although it was slightly different from Zhou Jun's previous voice, a careful listen revealed it was indeed him.
Li Hengsheng frowned at the smiling Zhou Jun, "Why are you here?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
Zhou Jun smacked his lips, "If I weren't here, you would have died countless times already."
Li Hengsheng didn't retort, evidently agreeing with Zhou Jun's statement.
When his portrait arrived in Yegui City, it must have been Zhou Jun who saw it and switched it out.
"You're quite lucky," Zhou Jun chuckled. "You fell out of the space and were discovered by my people. I took your belongings, intending to have the corpse carriers take you out, but unexpectedly, you woke up halfway and ended up captured by General Dekang's mansion."
"Here, these are your things."
Zhou Jun pulled out several silver tickets from his bosom and handed them to Li Hengsheng, along with a small bottle containing dragon blood essence.@@novelbin@@
Li Hengsheng took the items with a frown, "Why save me?"
He vividly remembered how Zhou Jun had pushed him off a cliff on the White Snake Path, nearly killing him.
And now, Zhou Jun was saving him again.
"You're my junior brother, who else would I save if not you?" Zhou Jun said with a grin.
"Cut the crap, do you think I'd believe that?" Li Hengsheng snorted coldly.
"Eh, Fourth Brother, you've finally learned to not trust people so easily?" Zhou Jun feigned surprise.
Li Hengsheng didn't want to waste time with Zhou Jun, just staring at him intently.
"There's no special reason for saving you," Zhou Jun shrugged. "Firstly, you're no longer useful as a key, and we have no significant interests between us. But after all, you were my adorable junior brother in Dao Mountain Ancient Land. How could I stand by and watch you die? Besides, we're both from the human race. In a place like Yegui City, we should help each other."
"Help each other?" Li Hengsheng shook his head. "Hardly. I can't help you with anything. You're the renowned Governor, even City Lord Xu Zhi'an respects you greatly. If I'm not mistaken, is City Lord Xu Zhi'an also a member of the Longevity Sect?"
"Well, how should I put it?"
Zhou Jun pondered for a moment, "If you put it that way, you could say so. He wasn't originally, but now he is."
"It seems the City Lord's recent departure is related to the Longevity Sect. Your arrival in Yegui City must also be a mission from the Longevity Sect to recruit him, am I right?"
Li Hengsheng speculated.
"Heh, as expected of you, Fourth Brother, much smarter now. But indeed, there's another reason. I'm now interested in having you join our Longevity Sect," Zhou Jun said seriously.
"You must be out of your mind," Li Hengsheng scoffed. "Do you think I would join your damned Longevity Sect?"
"If it were before, I'd say no, but now, it's hard to say," Zhou Jun smiled. "Fourth Brother, not to dampen your spirits, but do you know how valuable your life is in Cangyuan Realm? A Painter's Painting Treasure of your caliber... do you understand what that means?"
What do you think?
