Let Me Game in Peace

meless Dugu gave an odd answer.

Zhou Wen understood what he meant.
If the orphans appeared as impersonations, he wouldn’t be able to tell them apart.

“Your brother didn’t say a word despite being imprisoned for so many years?” Zhou Wen wanted to get to the bottom of things.

“No, he didn’t say anything.
No matter how I tried to get it out of him, he kept mum.
However, according to my observations, this matter has something to do with the Trajectory Holy Temple,” said Nameless Dugu.

Zhou Wen felt that it made sense.
All the anomalies had begun after Dugu Qianqiu returned from the Trajectory Holy Temple.
There was no way Zhou Wen would believe that this matter had nothing to do with the Trajectory Holy Temple.

Nameless Dugu continued, “Later on, I also sent quite a number of disciples from the Dugu family into the Trajectory Holy Temple, but they didn’t gain anything.
Or perhaps they obtained something without my knowledge.”

Zhou Wen knew what Nameless Dugu was worried about.
He also didn’t know if the Dugu family had such an orphan or if someone had long been replaced.

Zhou Wen found it terrifying just thinking about it.
A person who had a very good relationship with his family and friends was suddenly swapped without anyone knowing.
It was a terrifying idea.

Furthermore, the people who were replaced by the orphans were basically experts and top talents in various fields.

Just the thought of it sent a chill down Zhou Wen’s spine.

Nameless Dugu mentioned a few more matters, some pertaining to Unkilling Dugu.
He was a genius, a rare genius of the Dugu family.
Unfortunately, his Life Providence was the God of Unkilling, so he could only remain ordinary.

However, geniuses were unwilling to be ordinary.
That was why Unkilling Dugu had tried his best to resolve the problem of his Life Providence.
For some reason, Unkilling Dugu learned of Dugu Qianqiu and even communicated with him.
He took advantage of the Dugu family’s grand ceremony to rush into the Shinra Temple to inherit Dugu Qianqiu’s power.

Zhou Wen gained a rough understanding of all that had happened, but he became even more puzzled.

According to what Nameless Dugu had said, those orphans were nurtured by Dugu Qianqiu.
However, Dugu Qianqiu had been imprisoned here for so many years.
Who was controlling those babies behind the scenes?

Trajectory Holy Temple, Dugu Qianqiu, orphans, expedition team… What’s the connection? Zhou Wen felt as though an invisible hand was secretly controlling everything.

The Dugu family used special means to quickly contact Worm Dugu.
Thankfully, Li Xuan was with him.

Upon hearing that Zhou Wen was looking for him, Li Xuan said that he would rush back immediately and requested Zhou Wen to wait for him for two days.

However, Zhou Wen couldn’t afford to wait.
After asking where Li Xuan and company were, he used spatial teleportation to rush over.

Thankfully, it wasn’t too far away.
Even without Tsukuyomi, Zhou Wen could still teleport over with Ya’er and company.
However, he needed them to enter the Chaos Bead first.

After meeting Li Xuan at the designated location, he realized that Li Xuan hadn’t changed much.
He still appeared frivolous, but he physically looked more mature.

“Old Zhou, it’s been five years, but you still aren’t as handsome as me.” Li Xuan walked over and hugged Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen felt that Li Xuan’s aura was very strange.
It was different from the creatures he had seen in the past, but it wasn’t purely human.
However, he was certain that Li Xuan was very strong.

“I need your help,” Zhou Wen said to Li Xuan.

“Let’s go,” Li Xuan said with a smile.

“It’s very dangerous.
It might cost you your life.
Give it some thought,” Zhou Wen said.

“Since you came to me, it means that I’m the only one who can do this, isn’t that so?” Li Xuan said with a smile.

“I still have a backup plan,” Zhou Wen said.

“Enough of that.
It’s not like I don’t understand you.
Let’s go,” Li Xuan said with a smile.
