Lan Er frowned: "I've never heard of it."
"This is because you don't have enough information. I'm very famous recently." Hua Ruge boasted.
Lan Er still wanted to say something, but was stopped by Shangguan Li.
A peculiar ripple flashed across Shangguan Li's eyes in that instant. Now that she had recovered, she said: "So it's the right Lord Protector, it's time to drink some tea. Lan Er, go heat up some tea."
As she spoke, she glanced at Lan Er and gave him a meaningful glance.
Lan Er felt it was strange. He did not understand why his master told him to leave.
However, she didn't pursue the matter any further. She simply walked out and closed the door behind her.
Seeing that, Hua Ruge chuckled, he knew that she had recognised him.
Shangguan Li gently smiled and said: "Right Protector, you sure are courageous to dare to enter my place."
Hua Ruge knew that she was referring to him being brave as a spy.
"There's no other way. I want to get married." Hua Ruge said helplessly.
If she didn't get the ring back, how was she going to get married?
Although Shangguan Li did not know the meaning behind it, she could roughly guess what it was. She pursed her lips and said, "There's no one here to monitor us.
"Listening to your riddle, I thought I couldn't say anything." Hua Ruge heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Shangguan, long time no see."
"To be honest, I didn't expect to meet here." Shangguan Li said.
Hua Ruge nodded his head, "I am also surprised. Why are you here?"
"I don't have the kind of ability like Mr. Hua, all I can do is come up with some ideas." Shangguan Li said calmly.
Hua Ruge raised her eyebrow, her guess was right.
"They asked you to come?" Hua Ruge has me.
Shangguan Li shook his head: "To be exact, it was coercing me here, but I am more sensible, since I came up with ideas when they asked me to, no one would make things difficult for me."
"Sense the situation?" Hua Ruge smiled as he shook his head: "Do you think I would believe that you're such a person?"
Shangguan Li blinked his eyes and said: "But that's exactly what I'm doing."
Hua Ruge was also a little uncertain.
"Chief Sovereign Hua, have you ever thought that your efforts in coming to find me so hastily would be for naught?" Shangguan Li's expression was very calm, so much so that it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Hua Ruge's eyes turned as he replied, "My intuition tells me that I won't."
"Intuition?" Shangguan Li muttered.
The corner of Hua Ruge's mouth lifted as he looked at her and said, "What you mean is that you're the same person as me, so even if you don't help me, you won't help the devil sect expose me."
Shangguan Li was startled, and immediately laughed.
"It's really interesting to chat with you." she said sincerely.
Hua Ruge rolled his eyes and said: "This means that I guessed right."
"Indeed." Shangguan Li nodded his head, then said to her: "However, I will not help you. After all, this is their territory, I do not wish to die so early."
She was very frank.
"I don't need you to do anything. I just want to talk to you." Hua Ruge smiled and said, as long as she was not hostile towards him, things would not be so difficult.
"Alright, I'm so free here." Shangguan Li said bored out of his mind.
Hua Ruge thought for a moment and said: "Was the delaying tactic planned by you?"
"It's me. I told them to let the weaker ones go to the battlefield and leave the elites there to prepare for the upcoming battles." Shangguan Li looked at her and said, "That makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?"
Hua Ruge seemed to have caught on to something from the flash of light in her eyes, she asked: "Do you want to fight again in the future?"
"Their ambition is to occupy the entire continent and wipe out the three great powers." Shangguan Li said directly.
She was willing to give Hua Ruge some information, since there were not many people who were on good terms with him.
The more Hua Ruge thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss, and he finally exclaimed, "The three forces are almost all out, and the devil sect's elites aren't on the battlefield. Wouldn't that be a one-sided slaughter?"
"They don't care about the cannon fodder. That way, they can preserve their strength. If they lose their elites, then wouldn't their foundation be shaken?" Shangguan Li said from the side.
"No, even if those people on the battlefield are weak, they are still members of the Devil Sect. If they all die and their elites are left behind, then what's the use of that?" Hua Ruge said again.
Shangguan Li said disapprovingly: "An elite can definitely go one against a hundred."
Hua Ruge's pupils shrank as he said, "Are you trying to trick them?"
"You can't say that. They said to buy time. If you don't, I can't tell them to send people to different places on the continent to rob and kill. That would distract the attention of the three big powers right?" Shangguan Li said again.
Hua Ruge knew immediately that this was a good idea, and gathering all the disciples to fight would only be suicide, but it would also end his own future.
Her previous analysis was not wrong, this Shangguan Li was very proud, she was not satisfied with being manipulated by others, so she decided to make the devil sect pay a heavy price, and use countless lives and fresh blood to vent their anger.
This woman looked weak and delicate, but her schemes were far more vicious than she could ever hope to match up to.
However, there was still one more question regarding this matter.
"If you think carefully, you can think of loopholes, but isn't there a problem with Three Great Demons?" Hua Ruge asked.

Shangguan Li looked at her and asked, "Did you think of that before?"
"I really didn't. I thought it was because the higher ups of the Devil Sect were cruel." Hua Ruge said honestly.
"There were some protests in the Three Great Demons, but the people up there were too domineering, and they were suppressed." Shangguan Li continued:
"You were half right. The upper echelons of the Devil's Gate are cruel, but the other half are superstitious about the power they are about to obtain. They feel that as long as they have enough power, it's not a problem for some people to die."
"There really is someone who controlled Three Great Demons? "Who is it?" Hua Ruge didn't look surprised when she asked this question, as she had already guessed it right before.
Shangguan Li nodded his head, "Everyone is familiar with this organization. It was led by the Pine Temple a hundred years ago when the three great forces joined hands to eliminate the Shinto of The Falling Sun."
"What?" Hua Ruge was shocked, and asked in a low voice: "They didn't perish?"
"A portion of the survivors are still alive. They've built this underground city, and they've been plotting revenge here for a hundred years." Shangguan Li said.
Back then, his Shinto of The Falling Sun were tyrannical, and he needed the combined power of three great forces to destroy it. Who would have thought that they would actually make a comeback today?
What was even more terrifying was that they still had the key to open the Earth Vein. If they could obtain the power of the Earth Vein, their strength would be incalculable.
Seeing her shocked expression, Shangguan Li laughed: "To be able to see the expression on Chief Hua's face is truly not easy."
