Chapter 22: Suspicion

Luoyang City, Venerable Wen's Mansion.

Li Ru processed the information until late at night, and then remembered that he had not eaten for a day, and just picked up the porridge bowl and was about to eat a few bites before resting, when he heard a rush of footsteps coming from outside the house.

"Venerable Wen, there is something important to report!" someone outside the house gently knocked on the door.

"Come in. Li Ru put a spoonful of warm porridge into his mouth.

As soon as the outsiders came in, their faces were full of joy: "Venerable Wen! Good news!

Burst!

The disciple who spoke was immediately sprayed with rice grains all over his face by Li Ru.

"Ahem, ahem...... You, what are you talking about?!" Li Ru's face turned red, he almost didn't choke to death from this porridge just now.

The disciple wiped two handfuls on his face, and said with joy on his face: "Supreme Treasure Seal, Venerable Wen, we have finally obtained the Supreme Treasure Seal! Venerable Martial is meeting the Sect Master with the disciple who came back with the Treasure Seal! The Sect Master has sent someone to call you to the Supreme Altar!"

Bang Dang!

The porridge bowl in Li Ru's hand fell to the ground unconsciously, and the bowl of broken porridge was sprinkled, just like his heart at the moment.

"Venerable Wen?" This disciple looked at Li Ru's expression wrongly, and he didn't understand if he was wrong in what he said, why didn't he see the other party happy.

They have been fighting for this Supreme Treasure Seal for this time now, I don't know how many brothers have died, and the sect leader is even more short-tempered and beats people at every turn, not to mention that their ordinary disciples are frightened one by one, even if it is a few divine envoys and two venerables, which one has not been scolded many times.

Even before, because of the rumors, the reason why the Supreme Treasure Seal has always been the first place in the newspaper by other sects is because a lot of information has been leaked out from Li Ru's mansion by some sects.

Dong Zhuo didn't believe it, but the evidence was conclusive, which made Li Ru almost slapped to death by the angry Dong Zhuo, and finally under the persuasion of the little witch Dong Bai and several divine envoys, he was saved from death.

Although the information is still in the hands of Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's attitude towards him is not as trusting as before, and he intends to start promoting Jia Xu, one of the divine envoys, as if he is planning to replace Venerable Li Ruwen.

Regarding the news of Zhang Xiu's apostasy, the sect leader was more like he wanted to spread all his anger, and directly beheaded all the disciples who stayed in the Luoyang General Altar in the Soul Lock Hall, and hung these heads above the four city gates in Luoyang as a warning, telling the disciples of the Divine Sect the seriousness of the rebellion.

During those days, the entire Divine Cult made people panic.

Now that the Supreme Treasure Seal has finally been brought back, this disciple understands that this sad day is finally coming to an end, and when the news spreads, the whole sect will definitely be grateful to the person who brought back the treasure seal, and the status of this person in their hearts is definitely not much worse than the status of the sect leader and the two Venerables.

As Li Ru's confidant, he is also happy for his master. Now that the Supreme Treasure Seal is in hand, Dong Zhuo's anger towards Li Ru will definitely be reduced a lot, and Venerable Wen's position should be able to be maintained and will not be replaced by Jia Xu.

Li Ru opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just waved his hand and said, "You go down first, tell the sect leader's envoy, and say that I will change my clothes and go over immediately." ”

When the disciple went down, Li Ru sat there motionless like a stone statue.

Lu Bu...... What the hell do you want to do? Don't you really understand that the Supreme Treasure Seal has brought disaster to the Divine Sect instead of glory? Provoking disputes is your purpose?!"

Li Ru's face was cloudy.

The incident of his fuzhong's meticulous work was manipulated by someone behind his back, and the so-called meticulous work of other sects that was found out was actually a few henchmen he used to spread all kinds of news.

It's just that Li Ru can't admit this matter, otherwise if Dong Zhuo knows that it is his person, death is inevitable! In desperation, he arranged that it was a detailed work of other sects, although Dong Zhuo was angry, but he survived.

This kind of dumb loss Li Ruke has never eaten, and after several investigations of the instructors behind the scenes, although there is no clear evidence, all of them point to Lu Bu.

He always thought that Lu Bukong had martial arts, but his brain was actually not easy to use, so he didn't care much about it even though he was on guard, but he didn't expect to be almost planted in the hands of the other party this time.

Now before the other party wants to kill him, now he has handed over the Supreme Treasure Seal to the sect leader in disguise, which must have skyrocketed in the sect leader's heart, and his original second-in-command position must be about to give way.

status, Li Ru doesn't care, he just starts to have doubts about Lu Bu's purpose now, he used to think that although he and Lu Bu have some discord because of different ideas, they are all working hard for the growth of the Divine Sect, and they can be regarded as having the same goal, although there have been occasional frictions over the years, but they have never wanted each other to be put to death like this time.

Through this incident, Li Ru realized that Lu Bu was actually still that simple-minded person, and all these things must not have been thought up by him, there must be other people behind the other party who were giving advice to him.

Who it was Li Ru didn't know yet, but since Lu Bu had brought the treasure seal to Dong Zhuo, the purpose could only be to use the Divine Sect!

Now that he is indifferent to Dong Zhuo, he has no conclusive evidence for Lu Bu's problem now, and no one believes him when he says it, so he can only let Dong Zhuo understand the indispensability of his Li Ru again, only in this way can he compete with Lu Bu and dig out the people behind him!

"Hey......" Li Ru sighed, his heart was faintly tired for some reason at this moment.

After a cup of tea, Li Ru left the mansion, followed the disciples sent by the sect leader, and rode a horse at gallop to Dong Zhuo's place, the newly built Supreme Altar.

As soon as he arrived outside the main hall of the Supreme Altar, Li Ru heard Dong Zhuo's hearty laughter coming from inside.

Pushing the door in, he saw Dong Zhuo sitting on the Supreme Golden Chair, looking at a white jade seal in his hand with admiration, and a few steps in front of him stood Lu Bu and a man in tattered clothes.

"Sect Master!" Li Ru saluted.

"Ah, Wen You, you're here!" Dong Zhuo saw that it was Li Ru, and the smile on his face remained unchanged and said: "Come and see, Supreme Treasure Seal! We have finally gotten it! The entire rivers and lakes will be ours!"

"Congratulations to the sect leader, congratulations to the sect leader!" Li Ru also had a smile on his face, nodded to Lu Bu as a greeting, and walked to Dong Zhuo's side, and when he saw the person next to Lu Bu clearly, his expression was slightly startled.

Although this person is dressed in tatters, that face is not forgotten by Li Ru, and it is naturally obvious at a glance, isn't he the person on the portrait.

"He's the only one...... Is Zhang Xiu dead in this way? Who is he?" Li Ru was thinking in his heart, and Dong Zhuo said over there: "Wen You, Zhang Xiu is not apostatizing but fighting to the death for the Divine Sect, I wronged them before! This person is an intermediate disciple of the Soul Lock Hall, and he is also the hero who brought the Supreme Treasure Seal back this time!"

"Intermediate disciple of the Soul Locking Hall?" Li Ru frowned, he was not even a deputy hall master, he was just an intermediate disciple, how could he come back under the siege of various sects?

Dong Zhuo knew that Li Ru must have doubts, and when he heard it just now, he didn't believe it, so he said: "Wang Erdan, you tell Venerable Wen what you just told me again!"

"Yes!" Liu Yifan repeated what he had just said to Dong Zhuo to Li Ru, the content was almost the same as what Lu Bu had said before, and he observed Li Ru's facial expression while speaking.

Li Ru just listened quietly and didn't say a word. He didn't trust what this person said, but what the other party said was not leaky, it seemed to be reasonable, and more importantly, the other party brought back the Supreme Treasure Seal, and no one in the ordinary sect would do this.

He wanted to ask some questions, but as soon as he came in and saw Dong Zhuo's expression, he understood that the other party was on the rise now, if he had a relationship of trust with Dong Zhuo before, he would have said it, but now some things are still said after a while.

Otherwise, the goal will not be achieved, but it will let Lu Bu watch the joke on the side in vain, so let's follow the sect leader's will first.

Thinking of this, after Liu Yifan finished speaking, Li Ru clapped his hands and said: "Okay, I really deserve to be a disciple of my Divine Sect! Sect Master, such a loyal and righteous person should be greatly rewarded, and let my Divine Sect disciples set an example for him!"

Dong Zhuo still had a smile on his face, and said, "I also have this intention." Now that Zhang Ji is dead, there is one less messenger for me, I heard Feng Xian say that this person's strength is still above Huaxiong, and I decided to make him a new envoy, so as to inspire other disciples of our Divine Sect!"
