Wuji Tower.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Wuji put his hands coated with lotion directly on his face, and then rubbed them non-stop. Then, wisps of white smoke slowly spread out from between his fingers.

It's like having sulfuric acid thrown in the face!

When Di Long, who followed Li Wuji down the stairs, and Ji Wushuang, who was standing by, saw this scene, they couldn't help but open their eyes wide with worried expressions on their faces.

Leng Yue stood there, staring at Li Wuji, not daring to blink.

After a long time, Li Wuji's face was covered with white foam, and then he saw Li Wuji plunge into the basin, stirring the water to clean all the foam on his face.

Immediately afterwards, Li Wuji slowly raised his head, and while picking up the handkerchief on the edge of the basin and wiping his wet cheeks, he turned to look at Leng Yue, who looked stunned and disappointed, with a playful smile on his face.

.

"impossible..."

Leng Yue clenched her fists, shook her head, and muttered unwillingly.

"Master Leng, please see clearly, am I the Li Wuji you want to hunt down?"

Li Wuji looked at Leng Yue and asked jokingly.

Seeing the unchanged Li Wuji, not only Leng Yue couldn't believe it, but even all the people in the Five Elements Division standing behind Leng Yue showed surprise on their faces.

"Anyone who enters the Heavenly Prison will be a Ling disciple. A mark with the word 'Ling' will be carved on the back of his neck. Turn your neck around!"

Leng Yue hesitated for a moment, then shouted sharply again.

"Still unwilling to give up?"

Li Wuji looked at Leng Yue and asked in a deep voice, the smile on his face gradually disappearing.

"What?! Don't you dare?!"

Leng Yue held the hilt of the sword with her right hand and asked coldly.

Li Wuji did not refuse, snorted lightly, turned around slowly, pointed his back towards Leng Yue, gently opened his collar, and exposed his neck.

All I could see was that the skin on his neck was smooth, not to mention a word, not even a mole.

Seeing this scene, Leng Yue froze on the spot, looking at Li Wuji in disbelief with a complicated expression.

"Master Leng, are you satisfied?"

Li Wuji slowly turned around, put his clothes in order, looked at Leng Yue, and asked expressionlessly.

"You are innocent!"

"Let's go!"

Leng Yue gritted her teeth, said something unwillingly, turned around and walked out.

"slow!"

But Li Wuji shouted loudly, stopped and was about to leave Leng Yue.

"Master Leng, we just agreed, is it possible that Master Leng, who is the envoy of the Five Elements Division, is going to go back on his word?!"

"If this matter spreads out, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation, right?"

Li Wuji put his hands behind his back and said with a sneer.

Hearing Li Wuji's sarcasm, Leng Yue's face instantly darkened to the extreme.

"Xue Wan!"

Immediately afterwards, Leng Yue reached out and took out a money bag from her arms, threw it on the table with her backhand, and shouted sharply.

Xue Wan on the side gritted his teeth and bowed to Li Wuji.

"I offended you so much just now, I hope you will forgive me!"

Xue Wan gritted his teeth and saluted while speaking, his voice almost trembling.

As the head of the Five Elements Division, he has never been so groveling to others.

"Very good, I forgive you."

Li Wuji raised his hand and said with a smile, his face full of pride.

"Walk!"

Leng Yue shouted, no longer lingering, and quickly left Wuji Tower with his men without looking back.

Seeing everyone from the Five Elements Division walking out of Wuji Building, Ji Wushuang and the few boys hiding in the corner finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The rooms upstairs and downstairs slowly opened, and the geishas and prostitutes came out one after another, looking at Li Wuji with admiration.

Among these people was Pang Xiaoxiao, who had not yet recovered from her injuries, but in addition to admiration, her expression was filled with gratitude and curiosity.

Li Wuji winked at Di Long and dismissed the secret agents of Tianshu who were lurking outside Wuji Tower. At the same time, Cao Zian took the young man back to Wuji Tower.

"Sir, are you okay?"

Cao Zian walked up to Li Wuji, bowed, and asked with concern.

Li Wuji shook his head, glanced at the young man, turned around and walked upstairs.

Cao Zian winked at the young man and hurriedly followed.

A room away from Wuji.

"Sir, this brother's name is Lu Yuan. His father had followed the lord for many years, but later died in the pursuit of the imperial court. Since then, he has wandered around the world, hiding in the rivers and lakes."

"In the past ten years, he has been searching for famous teachers everywhere and learned a lot of martial arts. He has been by my side all the time. From today on, he will be the one to protect the young master personally. With one more person, I will have more protection."

Cao Zian pointed to the cold-faced young man beside him and introduced slowly.

"This subordinate has met the young lord!"

When Cao Zian finished speaking, a cold-faced young man named Lu Yuan immediately saluted and said respectfully.

"Get up. From now on, just like Lao Cao and the others, you can just call me Young Master."

Li Wuji looked at the young man and nodded with satisfaction.

"yes!"

Lu Yuan agreed, stood up and stepped aside.

"Sir, I just received news that Marquis Liyang was killed last night, and the whereabouts of the murderer are unknown."

Cao Zian hesitated for a moment, then raised his hands and said.

Hearing Cao Zian's words, Li Wuji couldn't help but frown, showing a hint of surprise.

Marquis Liyang is a relative of the emperor. Although he is not an orthodox royal family, he is still part of the maternal lineage of the empress. He holds a high and powerful position. Even if he does not have any official position or real power in the court, it is not something that ordinary people dare to touch.

Moreover, he was suddenly killed after the chaos in Yeyu Palace, which seemed a bit strange no matter how you put it.

There are probably not many people in the entire capital who dare to kill him!

Could it be?!

Thinking of this, a person's name suddenly flashed in Li Wuji's mind, but he least expected it to be this person who did it.

In fact, Marquis Liyang was just a tool he used. He could have led people directly into Yeyu Palace and snatched away the junior sister.

But the reason why he did this through Yuan Bin was to deal with today's situation. If he really robbed people directly, it would be confirmed that he and Pang Xun must have a close relationship, and then there would be no hope for this capital.

There is no way to stay any longer.

However, using the identity of Marquis Liyang to enter Yeyu Palace and then ransom the junior sister with a large amount of money is different in nature. Even if someone suspects it, there will be no evidence.

In addition, he just proved in front of Leng Yue that he was not disguised, and even the "Ling" mark symbolizing Ling Tu's identity has disappeared. From now on, no one will be able to recognize him as "Li Wuji"

"!

People in the imperial court knew that Pang Xun was good at disguise, but they didn't know that there was a disguise technique that involved directly breaking bones and grafting skin to completely change his appearance!

This is why he has been shutting himself in his room some time ago, and also set up a screen at the door so that he can't see anyone!

Everything is going smoothly according to his plan.

...

Yunxiao Palace.

In the main hall.

Leng Yue knelt on the ground respectfully, looking nervous and not even daring to raise her head.

"You mean, he's not in disguise?!"

The empress gave Leng Yue a cold look and asked casually.

"Reporting to the Empress, it is indeed true. Wei Chen asked him to use the cleaning solution in front of everyone. There was nothing abnormal, and there was no Lingtu mark on his body."

Leng Yue bowed her hands and said unwillingly.

The facial cleanser she mentioned was obtained from a sorcerer. If a disguised person uses it to wash their face, their face will instantly fester and die!

"That means this person is not Li Wuji?"
