Heroine, don't turn back, I'm just a farmer.

The so-called god-making plan is nothing more than the same old story of "Chen Sheng's hope for the rise of the Great Chu" and "hiding a book in the belly of a fish".

Although this game world blends elements of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it doesn't feature the kind of hyped-up events mentioned above. By playing around with the game, you might even earn some special achievement rewards.

However, there are still many problems in making this plan flawless and leaving no room for suspicion.

Li Jiuluan raised her hand to summon the Jade Flute Elder and several other elders, but Lu Guo stopped her.

"Jiu Luan, wait!" Lu Guo raised his hand to stop him: "The fewer people who know about this, the more advantageous it will be for you. Otherwise, you risk making things worse. If you trust Brother Zhao, please leave it to me."

Upon hearing this, Li Jiuluan immediately realized what was going on.

According to Brother Zhao, the so-called creation of gods is a deception to fool people and should not be told to anyone. Once exposed, not only will one lose all authority, but one's previous reputation will also plummet. Naturally, the fewer people who know, the better. Ideally, one should also be unaware of the truth to make it seem more authentic.

"So what should Jiu Luan do now?"

Looking at Lu Guodao, Li Jiuluan found herself developing a greater sense of respect for this Brother Zhao.

"This matter can only be known between the two of us." Lu Guo looked up at the sky and said, "Fortunately, this plan is not difficult to implement, but we need to solve the problem of Xuanpin before we can do it."

He beckoned Li Jiuluan closer, brought his mouth to her ear, and explained the whole plan in detail.

"It is truly Jiu Luan's good fortune to have met Brother Zhao."

After listening, Li Jiuluan nodded repeatedly, a smile appearing between her brows.

"I dare not, it was all just luck, a stroke of good fortune. How could I deserve such praise?" Lu Guo hurriedly replied. Li Jiuluan glanced at him. Her Brother Zhao had an extraordinary background, yet he was not frivolous, but humble and polite, which was quite rare. After witnessing so much deceit and treachery, she couldn't help but feel a little happier.

"Jiu Luan has already compiled the intelligence regarding the Wuji Demonic Sect. Brother Zhao, what are your plans for the future?"

As the topic gradually became more relevant, Li Jiuluan's words were tactful, and her attempts to persuade him to stay were subtle and understated.

"Ugh!"

Lu Guo picked up his wine cup and looked up at the sky. He saw that the night was dark and there was no light at all. He couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Li Jiuluan's favorability +3".

Watching Lu Guo's retreating figure, Li Jiuluan's heart sank into the air, feeling inexplicably heartbroken.

"I was originally a wanderer, and my foray into the martial world was purely accidental. How could I have any long-term plans? If it weren't for someone, I would never have wanted to engage in the deceit and treachery of this martial world."

Li Jiuluan also stood up, standing shoulder to shoulder with Lu Guo. Seeing the hint of sorrow between his brows, she couldn't help but ask, "I wonder if the person Brother Zhao spoke of is the one you're looking for?"

[1. I am but a passerby in this world, our meeting is merely a fleeting encounter. (With a serious expression)]

[2. What do you think? (Lazy and joking)]

3. Don't ask too many questions (smug face)

[4, ...]

Lu Guo: "..."

How should this question be answered?

Now we've probably reached a crucial point. Lu Guo glanced at Li Jiuluan's favorability rating, which is now close to 30. 30 is a special milestone; once it's surpassed, the favorability rating will likely unlock the "Signs of Love" stage.

What kind of personality does Li Jiuluan have?

She's a bit love-struck, but also loves to hear the truth.

Have it.

"I am all alone, how could I possibly have anyone I love?" Lu Guo said wistfully. "Although I sometimes think of her, I only feel that although we are compatible, it is only a brotherly and sisterly affection. Our feelings are deep, but it is not romantic love. As for a true love, who would be worthy of a wandering swordsman like me?"

That would be best.

Li Jiuluan muttered something under her breath, then realized her rudeness, adjusted her expression slightly, and drank a cup of wine.

[Li Jiu's favorability +3, at this stage, feelings are beginning to blossom.]

"What did you say?" Lu Guo asked, not having heard clearly.

Li Jiuluan immediately realized what was going on: "So, Brother Zhao is worried about his friend. Such noble sentiments are truly admirable."

"However, the world is vast and the sea of ​​people is boundless. It would be so difficult to meet again. But Jiu Luan has an idea."

"Please instruct me!"

"If you can't find someone, the best way is usually to let them find you. As long as you are famous enough and attract a lot of attention, they can easily get your information and actively track you down."

Lu Guo slapped his forehead: "That's right! How come I didn't think of that?" He pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "No, that's not right. I'm quite famous now, but possessing the Xuanpin makes me like prey. If I show myself, I'm afraid I won't find any friends, but instead attract a bunch of hunters."

"Brother Zhao is witty." Li Jiuluan raised an eyebrow slightly, finding his words amusing. "Since Jiuluan says so, he naturally has the confidence to back it up!"

"Then please enlighten me."

"The mystery of the Mysterious Female has resurfaced in the martial world, and with the Lü family's affairs also occurring, Brother Zhao has become the focus of attention in the Jianghuai martial world overnight. Brother Zhao is burdened by fame, all because of Jiu Luan. Since it is Jiu Luan's fault, I should personally step forward to dispel the rumors for Brother Zhao. I believe the people of the martial world will calm the rumors and restore Brother Zhao's freedom."

Upon hearing this, Lu Guo understood her plan.

It seems that from the moment she met him until she woke up in the ancestral hall, this woman, who resembled Empress Lü, had been plotting and scheming to bind herself to her more tightly and make their connection more intimate.

Once she comes forward to clarify her relationship with this Brother Zhao, even if there is no relationship, there will be one.

However, their plans were the same, and their thoughts coincided.

"If this matter can be resolved, I can indeed extricate myself from this vortex, but why would Jiu Luan speak up for someone as insignificant as me?"

"Young master is no insignificant person."

Lu Guo's hesitant expression was observed by the old man with the jade flute hidden in the shadows. He exchanged glances with the other worshippers around him, and together they walked out with smiles.

If Zhao Wuji is truly as he claims, he must possess some skill and be able to become an ally of His Highness, which is exactly what they hope to see.

"Nine Phoenix doesn't believe that Brother Zhao is some insignificant person either."

After Li Jiuluan finished speaking, she suddenly raised her bright eyes, hiding a hint of shyness, but her gaze met Lu Guo's with an aggressive intensity.

"I am being pursued by the Wuji Demonic Sect. Staying would be disadvantageous. Although Your Highness feels pity for me, I hope you will reconsider."

Li Jiuluan smiled lightly and said, "It's good that Brother Zhao is willing to stay. You don't need to worry about anything else."

Lu Guo bowed deeply and said, "In that case, I thank Your Highness for your kindness."

"What did you call me? Why address me as Your Highness?" Li Jiuluan raised an eyebrow.

"Just call me Jiu Luan."

……

The conversation in the courtyard was just a minor interlude.

Both Lu Guo and Li Jiuluan were fully aware of the situation.

When Lu Guo addressed her as Your Highness and discussed how to destroy Buddhism, Li Jiuluan understood that he knew her identity, which was why she made such a suggestion. She was insightful and took the opportunity to extend an invitation.

Based on his goodwill, Lu Guo naturally understood Li Jiuluan's feelings, so he took the opportunity to steer the conversation and accepted the invitation.

As for the mysterious female energy, he has already obtained it.

Deep within the Lü family mansion, in the sword workshop, the molten iron in the furnace emitted a scorching heat. Amidst this heat, two faint red lights, each the size of a pigeon's egg, blended into the moonlight, appearing exceptionally eerie and mysterious.

Those present exchanged suspicious glances, unable to hide their curiosity.

The round stone in the furnace was entirely red, the color of rouge, emitting a faint crimson glow, beautiful yet with a touch of eeriness.

Lu Guo walked over and picked it up with his silk-wrapping hand.

You have obtained the Mysterious Female True Qi - Yang.
