Just now, because he was worried about Luo Fu, Bai Heng quieted down at his own request.

But now that Kafka is gone, what about Bai Heng...?

Uh... are they going to start interrogating me?

Lu Li swallowed hard: "Wh-what do we do?"

[Of course, it's what that woman just mentioned—the turmoil in Luofu was orchestrated by Huanlong, the Destroyer.]

Lu Li was taken aback upon hearing this.

So it wasn't about him and Kafka after all?

Lu Li immediately relaxed.

It seems Bai Heng was worried that Luo Fu's attention would be drawn away, which is great.

Lu Li waved his hand: "You don't need to worry about this. After all, I had already guessed that someone was behind Luo Fu's troubles, but I didn't expect it to be the Commander."

Well, it wasn't a "guess".

Rather, they already knew it all along.

But Lu Li's words surprised Bai Heng.

Lu Li had already guessed it?

Yes, as expected of Lu Li.

"In that case, should we go and discuss this with Jingyun?"

Or should we tell Mr. Walter and the others?

Go find Jing Yuan and tell Walter and the others?

The plot would be completely messed up!

After pretending to ponder for a moment, Lu Li said, "It's better not to tell them yet."

"After all, this news comes from the Star Core Hunters, and we can't be sure if it's true. It wouldn't be good if there were any traps."

"Let's investigate this privately first."

Bai Heng thought about it after hearing this.

That seems to be true.

Just as Lu Li said, this news came from that hateful woman.

It might not be true.

It would be better if they investigated privately first.

Bai Heng nodded.

【Then let's listen to Lu Li.】

Upon hearing this, Lu Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

We finally managed to fool them...

But the next moment.

Bai Heng's voice suddenly turned icy. It echoed in his mind again, carrying an unquestionable commanding tone.

Now that the important matters are settled, let's move on, Lu Li.

Now, it's your turn.

Explain yourself clearly: what exactly happened with that woman just now?!

Lu Li: "..."

Yes, that's true.

He knew it.

You can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day.

Even if he gets rid of one big problem, an even bigger one is waiting for him.

Lu Li's face instantly fell.

"Um... Bai Heng, let me explain."

Lu Li leaned against the wall, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead while organizing his thoughts in his mind.

He has to keep Bai Heng calm now, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable if this old lady caused a scene on the streets of Luofu.

[Explanation? Okay, I'm listening.]

Bai Heng's voice remained cold, but Lu Li could hear the suppressed anger within it.

Why does that woman named Kafka call you "Ali"? Why does she say you're her boyfriend?

Also, what did she mean by what she said at the end?

"Uh..." Lu Li felt his throat was a little dry.

These problems are all more deadly than the last.

He can't very well say that Kafka was raised by me in a past life.

Because the sky revealed our past, she now believes that I am her lover.

Has she started a "crazy" pursuit of me?

What's the difference between saying that and courting death?

"Actually... this is what happened."

Lu Li rolled his eyes and decided to avoid the main issue.

They shifted all the blame to Tianmu and the system.

"You've probably heard from March 7th and Xing, right? There was this celestial screen in the universe called 'Interstellar Golden List' a while back, wasn't there?"

Yes, I know.

A hint of doubt crept into Bai Heng's voice.

What's wrong?

"I may not have told you about March 7th yet, but so far two scenes of that canopy have been shown."

"The second act concerns the Five Heroes of the Clouds, while one of the protagonists of the first act..."

Lu Li forced a smile and said, "It's her, Kaffa."

"The first scene shown on the screen is about her past with a man also named 'Lu Li'."

【Then what?】

"And then... that man looked exactly like me." Lu Li's voice trailed off. "So... she mistook me for that man."

After he finished speaking, he carefully sensed Bai Heng's reaction.

Although what he said was true.

But I don't know if this explanation will work...

Bai Heng remained silent for a moment upon hearing this.

Just because they look alike?

Bai Heng's voice was filled with disbelief.

That's really strange.

Lu Li: "..."

No, do you even have the right to say such a thing?

No, no, now is not the time to dwell on these things.

"Yes! Just because we look alike!" Lu Li nodded quickly, as if to bolster his own argument. "Think about it, what are the odds of such a coincidence?"

"So she's convinced I'm that person's reincarnation or something, and she keeps bothering me."

What about the reunion she mentioned...?

"That was all shown on the screen—it was about 'Lu Li' and her experiences. It has absolutely nothing to do with me!" Lu Li said firmly. "I'm just an unlucky substitute who got entangled with her!"

To increase credibility.

Lu Li also embellished the story by describing his "miserable" experience of being harassed by Kafka's projection on the train before he woke up Bai Heng.

After listening to Lu Li's "tearful accusation," Bai Heng fell silent once again.

Her voice rang out again after quite a while.

This time, however, the coldness in his tone had lessened considerably, replaced by a hint of sympathy and...strangeness.

Well... thank you for your hard work.

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work," Lu Li quickly replied.

After hearing Lu Li's explanation, Bai Heng's anger and suspicion finally dissipated.

Thinking about it carefully, what Lu Li said seemed to make sense.

After all, Lu Li has now "lost his memory".

She didn't even know her, let alone that woman named Kafka.

However, because of the sky, the other party pursued him so fervently.

It's normal for him to feel scared and resistant.

So, in that case...

Did I... misunderstand him just now?

Bai Heng felt a little embarrassed when he thought about how fierce he had been to him in his mind.

Um... I'm sorry, I just...

"It's alright, it's alright, I understand." As soon as Lu Li heard her tone soften, he immediately waved his hand magnanimously, "Anyone would misunderstand if they saw that situation."

"It's good that you can trust me."

Lu Li clenched his fist slightly.

yes!

I fooled them and got away with it!

We finally managed to fool this old lady.

However, Lu Li did not expect that he was happy too soon.

However, on the other hand...

Bai Heng changed the subject.

That Kaffa is indeed quite beautiful.

Lu Li: "?"

She also has a great figure.

Lu Li: "??"

【so……】

Bai Heng's voice turned cold again.

Kissing her...it must feel really good, right?
