Collapse Iron: My Past Life Revealed, I Was Everyone's White Moonlight

The two exchanged compliments while glancing at each other, smiling, and then looked away.

Tingyun frowned slightly.

This guy is really tight-lipped; I couldn't get anything out of him.

It felt like my "attack" hit a ball of cotton...

Lu Li glanced at Ting Yun.

Huh, sample.

These are all things you used when Kafka and Kagami interrogated me... cough cough.

In short, it was all leftovers from their use.

You think you can get my mouth out with such simple tricks?

You can continue to be wary of me and hesitate about whether to proceed with your plan.

Hahahaha—uh.

Why do I feel like I'm the villain more than Huanlong?

Lu Li fell into deep thought.

……

soon.

Under Tingyun's leadership.

The group left the street where the Shence Mansion was located and headed towards the central hub of the Star Chariot Sea.

Next, they need to take a star raft to Dan Ding Si.

Along the way, there were Yunqi soldiers hurrying about and civilians seeking refuge everywhere.

The situation in Luofu has become visibly tense.

At the Xingchahai dock, Tingyun skillfully negotiated with the Yunqi Army responsible for dispatching troops.

A large starship was quickly arranged for everyone.

"My benefactors, please board the ship." Tingyun stood at the entrance of the star raft and gestured for them to board.

The group boarded the ship one after another.

Lu Li walked at the very back.

As he passed by Tingyun, Tingyun suddenly said, "Benefactor Lu Li, the road ahead is not easy. You must take good care of yourself."

Lu Li paused, turning to look at Ting Yun.

Tingyun still wore that professional smile, but there was an indescribable meaning in his eyes.

Lu Li knew.

Although to the people on March 7th and the others who didn't know Tingyun's true identity, it sounded like she was showing concern for him.

But... was this Huanlong's way of giving him a hard time while also testing whether he knew her identity?

Lu Li pretended not to understand and scratched his head: "Thank you for your concern, Miss Tingyun."

"Don't worry, I'm lucky, I won't die."

After saying that, he strode into the Star Chariot.

Tingyun watched Lu Li's retreating figure, her smile deepening.

"What an interesting man. Let me see... just how many secrets you're hiding."

The starship started up, slowly ascended into the air, and flew towards the Dan Ding Division.

The atmosphere in the cabin was somewhat somber.

Everyone knows that.

What lies ahead is... a tough battle.

Lu Li sat in a window seat, watching the scenery rushing past outside.

Bai Heng sat to his left, looking out the window at Luofu with a nostalgic expression, while Jing Liu sat to his right with his eyes closed, resting.

Lu Li was mentally calculating what would happen next.

Upon arriving at Dan Ding Si, one will undoubtedly encounter followers of the Medicine King's secret teachings and engage in battle.

And then...

Lu Li secretly glanced at Ting Yun, who was sitting in the front row.

Needless to say, this woman will definitely betray us at the crucial moment.

Ok.

After all, Tingyun's "head tilt kill" is one of the famous scenes in the Luofu chapter... cough cough.

In short, we need to be wary of her.

Fortunately, in addition to the physical defense skill "White Knight's Soul," the system also gave a "Mental Barrier" as a reward for mental defense in this Act III event.

This thing should be incredibly effective against Huanlong's mental attacks.

Thinking of this, Lu Li felt much more at ease.

After the chaotic scene, he finally entered a familiar territory.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the crisis in Luofu should now proceed smoothly according to the original storyline...

The Starship is very fast.

Before long, the massive complex of the Dan Ding Si came into view.

"My benefactors, we have arrived." Tingyun stood up and straightened his clothes.

soon.

The starship came to a steady stop on the dock.

As the hatch opened, a strong smell of medicine and blood wafted out.

Lu Li frowned.

This smells awful...

Lu Li covered his nose and followed the others down the star raft.

The docks of Dan Ding Si were in a mess. Scattered goods and signs of a fight were everywhere.

Several Cloud Cavalry soldiers lay dead in pools of blood, their deaths extremely gruesome.

"A battle took place here." Walter stepped forward and examined the corpse. "The wounds have the characteristics of a demonic entity. It seems that the Medicine King's secret technique has taken control of this place."

March 7th took out his bow and arrows, nervously looking around: "Everyone be careful, the enemy might be nearby."

Tingyun stepped forward, covering her nose with her fan, looking frightened: "Oh dear, how could it have turned out like this..."

Xing patted Tingyun's shoulder reassuringly: "Don't worry, Miss Tingyun, we will protect you."

"Let's go. It looks like Fu Xuan Tai Bu has already gone in." Walter led the way into the Dan Ding Si (Pill Cauldron Department).

The scene inside Dan Ding Si was even more tragic than at the docks.

The enormous alchemy furnace collapsed to the ground, spilling its contents and emitting a pungent odor.

Many of the surrounding buildings were damaged, and the walls bore deep craters and scorch marks left by the battle.

The group slowed their pace and cautiously advanced.

Walter walked at the front, his cane emitting a faint glow, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

Xing and Sanyueqi stood on either side, protecting Bai Heng and the other two in the middle.

Lu Li was positioned at the very back of the group, bringing up the rear.

But... I don't know if it's just his imagination.

Bai Heng and Jing Liu, who were supposed to be in the middle of the group, seemed to be getting closer and closer to him.

Then he was sandwiched in the middle.

But it's not just those two...

"...Miss Tingyun, could you please not stand so close to me?" Lu Li finally couldn't hold back any longer and said in a low voice, "You're stepping on my foot."

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry." Tingyun turned her head and covered half of her face with her fan in surprise.

Then Tingyun said softly in a weak manner, "Please don't be angry, benefactor Lu Li, I'm really scared."

"This Dan Ding Division is usually very quiet, but now it has become a scene of carnage."

"Perhaps it's because I'm a weak woman, and without realizing it, I wanted to find someone to rely on."

Lu Li: "..."

Lu Li rolled his eyes inwardly.

Why are you, a supreme ruler of annihilation, pretending to be a soft, innocent white lotus?

"A weak woman... You could flatten this entire Pill Refining Bureau with a single slap, right?"

"Go find Mr. Walter. He looks much more reassuring than me, and he's also more capable." Lu Li didn't hesitate to shift the blame to Walter.

Tingyun smiled upon hearing this: "Benefactor Lu Li is too kind."

"Mr. Walter is clearing the way, how could I possibly disturb him?"

As she spoke, Tingyun took another step back, her body almost touching Lu Li's chest.

Seeing this, Bai Heng, who had originally retreated to Lu Li's side to protect him, refused to accept it.

She stepped directly between the two of them to separate Tingyun, put her hands on her hips, and looked at Tingyun angrily.

"Why are you standing so close when you're just talking?"
