Chapter 2287 - Visiting the Mountain
The atmosphere within the pavilion shifted, growing tense and heavy.
The mountain breeze blowing through the window lattice had a newfound cold austerity.
Lu Qingmei raised her beautiful head, making no attempt to avoid the Severed Heavens Demon Master’s gaze. “Why do you say that?”
The Severed Heavens Demon Master laughed and said calmly, “Over the years, you’ve lived deep in seclusion, seldom wandering outside or heeding the sect’s affairs. The only exception was that time, just a few months ago, when you suddenly decided to take a group of disciples to Qingwu Divine Court for a sparring competition.
“Sure, it was a chance for both orthodoxies’ disciples to discuss the Dao, but how could something so trivial require your personal attention?”
Before Lu Qingmei could respond, the Severed Heavens Demon Master continued, “And according to reports, you seemed to pay particular attention to Xiao Jian during Qingwu Divine Court’s banquet. Everyone who saw it felt that something strange was going on. At the time, I didn’t understand, but I didn’t care, either. After all, a lot in this world doesn’t make sense.
“But now that I know Xiao Jian is really Su Yi in disguise, it seems to me that that was no mere coincidence!” The Severed Heavens Demon Master’s gaze suddenly frosted over. “Su Yi was Yi Daoxuan in his past life, and, well... Surely there’s no need for me to explain what kind of relationship you two had, right?”
Lu Qingmei suddenly laughed. “Disregarding the question of whether Xiao Jian really is Yi Daoxuan’s reincarnation or not, do you really think I would have let him go had I known earlier?”
The Severed Heavens Demon Master frowned.
A long time ago, Yi Daoxuan and Lu Qingmei were Dao Partners, until one day, Lu Qingmei turned on him, catching him off guard and striking to kill!
Although she failed to kill him in the end, she did injure him to the brink of death, leaving him with irreparable, severe Dao Wounds.
It was because of these wounds that Yi Daoxuan ultimately found himself surrounded and killed by his enemies. It was fair to say that Lu Qingmei had played a crucial role in killing Yi Daoxuan!
