The sun was shining brightly outside the Shence Mansion.

But Lu Li's mood was like a gloomy, rainy day shrouded in dark clouds, extremely gloomy.

Because at this moment, he was being "held hostage" by Kafka and Kagami, one on each side, and was following at the very back of the group.

Lu Li sighed inwardly, feeling like crying but having no tears.

Kafka was clearly the prisoner who was about to be "interrogated" by Fu Xuan using the Qiong Guan Array.

Compared to Kafka... he now looks more like a prisoner about to be led to the "execution ground"!

Bai Heng followed behind them, occasionally glaring resentfully at the two women who had "taken over" Lu Li.

This strange combination drew the attention of passing Yunqi soldiers.

However, because Fu Xuan was present, they dared not discuss it openly and could only gossip in secret.

"My God, what's going on?"

"That's... Lu Li, right? Why was he arrested?"

"It doesn't feel like he was captured. Look at the two women next to him, one is a Star Core Hunter, and the other is a former Sword Master. This setup... it looks more like they're here to abduct a bride."

"Bride kidnapping? You've been reading too many romance novels, haven't you? But you know what, it actually has a bit of that feel to it..."

"Shh! Keep your voice down! Don't let Lord Fu Xuan hear you!"

Listening to the faint whispers coming from the surroundings.

Lu Li: "..."

Should I... perhaps live on a different planet in the future?

wrong.

It seems like changing planets won't solve the problem; we need to change universes...

"Ah Li, why aren't you saying anything?" Kafka's voice rang in his ear, tinged with a barely perceptible smile. "Are you tired?"

"Do you want me to carry you on my back?"

Lu Li: "..."

Sister, please have some decency.

Forget it.

Anyway, she won't listen, so whatever.

Lu Li chose to ignore Kafka, who was trying to tease him, and began to think about what to do next.

But even though he's supposed to be thinking... he can't really do anything.

After all, he has already turned the plot around, so now we can just follow the original storyline.

Interrogation, prison break... huh?

Why does he always feel like something's missing?

Wait... where's Tingyun?

Lu Li looked around and realized that someone seemed to be missing from the group.

Come to think of it, when I was pretending to be unconscious, I was focused on those three organizations and didn't pay attention to her movements.

Now that I think about it carefully... it seems like I haven't seen her since the sky curtain ended.

I thought about it.

Lu Li tugged at March 7th, who was walking beside him, and asked in a low voice, "March, have you seen Tingyun?"

"Miss Tingyun?" March 7th thought for a moment and said, "Oh, I remember now."

"Right after the curtain fell, she said she had urgent business to attend to at the Sky Ship Bureau and needed to go back to report to Lord Yu Kong, so she left."

"She said she would come to the Shence Mansion to meet us after we finished talking with the general."

They left?

Lu Li frowned slightly.

Something's not right.

After all, according to the original plot, Tingyun should have continued to serve as their guide.

Her identity will only be revealed when the Jianmu tree is activated and the Medicine King's secrets are captured.

But now... she's actually left the team ahead of schedule?

Lu Li frowned slightly.

Was the appearance of the sky curtain the cause of the plot deviation?

Or……

As Lu Li was pondering, Kafka suddenly spoke up.

"Ah Li, what are you thinking about? Tell me!"

Lu Li: "..."

Are you never going to stop?

Forget it.

I don't have time to take care of her right now.

Anyway, given her personality, she won't reveal her identity until the very end.

Moreover, compared to the original storyline.

They now have two more combatants on their side: Jing Liu and Bai Heng.

Although Jingliu is a bit... cough cough.

But I have to admit.

As the former head swordsman of Luofu, Jingliu's strength is still top-notch.

all in all.

With their current fighting strength.

Even if Tingyun, the final boss, suddenly deviates from the storyline and flips the table, he's not afraid.

Let's take a step by step.

……

soon.

The group then arrived at the core of the Spirit Evolution Array.

The Spirit Array Hub is located at the deepest part of the Taibu Si, and is a huge circular platform suspended in the air.

The platform's center is engraved with intricate and mysterious array patterns, with countless streams of light weaving through and converging on a massive crystal at its core.

This is the core of the Qiong Guan Array, Luofu's most powerful divination and prophecy tool.

"This is the Spirit Evolution Array." Fu Xuan stood at the edge of the platform, arms crossed, and coldly introduced, "Anyone not involved should step back outside the lines and not interfere with the operation of the array."

Her gaze swept over March 7 and Xing, clearly referring to them.

"Oh, oh!" Upon hearing this, March 7th and Xing quickly pulled Walter and Danheng, obediently retreating to the safe zone designated by Fu Xuan.

Lu Li also wanted to leave.

But to his surprise, before he could even lift his foot, Kafka grabbed him from behind.

"Ah Li, where are you going?" she asked with a smile.

"I... of course I'll wait over there." Lu Li pointed in the direction where Walter and the others were and said confidently.

"No." Kafka shook her head, her grip on his hand showing no sign of loosening. "You have to stay with me."

"Why?" Lu Li was dumbfounded.

"Because..." Kafka said pitifully, "I'm scared."

Lu Li: "..."

Are you scared?

You are a ruthless, fearless Star Core Hunter.

You're telling me you're scared?

You're afraid, but I'm afraid too!

He was about to retort when he saw Kafka wink at him.

A hint of cunning and...threat flickered in those purple eyes.

Lu Li immediately chickened out.

Well, he finally understood.

This woman did it on purpose.

She wanted to tie herself to her side, not allowing herself any chance to escape.

"What? Is it not allowed?" Kafka asked again when he didn't speak.

"...Okay." Lu Li squeezed out a single word through gritted teeth.

Forget it.

Following the plot is the priority.

Anyway, according to the plot, Kafka will have to leave after this.

Then I will be "free".

A small leak will sink a great ship.

Patience is only temporary...

Lu Li desperately tried to comfort (hypnotize) himself.

Seeing Lu Li "give in," Kafka smiled with satisfaction.

But what Lu Li didn't expect was...

Meanwhile, Jingliu and Baiheng also silently stepped forward upon seeing this.

They then stood directly behind Lu Li, one on each side, as if they were "advancing and retreating together".

And that's how this scene came about.

In front of Lu Li was Fu Xuan, who was preparing to activate the Qiong Guan Formation, and behind him was Kafka, who was pulling him along.

On his left and right were Jing Liu and Bai Heng protecting him.

Lu Li: "..."

No?

What are you trying to do?

Is this an interrogation of Kafka or of me?!

The scene was too beautiful for him to bear.

On the other side, Lu Li.

Looking at the sticky, gooey appearance of these people, Fu Xuan felt the veins on his forehead throbbing.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and said coldly, "This is an interrogation! Be serious!"

"Kafka, go to the center of the formation!"

"Oh~" Kafka responded, then slowly led Lu Li to the center of the platform.

Jingliu and Baiheng immediately followed.

Fu Xuan: "..."

She felt that her patience had reached its limit.

"I'm only letting Kafka go up!" she said through gritted teeth.

"But he's my hostage!" Kafka pointed innocently at Lu Li. "What if you suddenly hurt me if I release him?"

Lu Li: "..."

No.

Who would dare harm a Star Core Hunter like you?

You're more likely to harm others.

And... when did I become your hostage?

"We won't!" Fu Xuan was so angry he wanted to hit someone.

"That's hard to say." But Kafka just shrugged. "Anyway, he has to stay by my side."

"you!"
