Chapter 493 Cooperation
Soon, Li Zhi felt the sensation coming from the little ghost.
His heart tightened, and without any hesitation, he immediately followed the little ghost's instructions and came to the door of the room next to his.
Standing outside the door, Li Zhi walked lightly and approached the door cautiously, trying to peek into the room through the crack.
However, just as he was about to see the scene inside the room, a clear female voice suddenly came from the room.
"Since Brother Li is here, please come in."
This voice seemed to have known that Li Zhi would come, which made Li Zhi startled. His eyes flickered for a moment, but only for a moment before he regained his composure.
After thinking for a while, Li Zhi decided not to hide anymore. He reached out, pushed open the door, and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, Li Zhi's attention was attracted by a woman in a goose yellow long skirt.
The woman was looking at him with a smile, and her eyes revealed an elusive meaning.
Li Zhi frowned slightly, and as he carefully examined the woman before him, he realized that he had no impression of her at all. However, judging by her words and demeanor, she seemed very familiar with Li Zhi.
Li Zhi wondered in his heart, who is this woman?
Why is she here?
Why would he poison his own food?
A series of questions came to Li Zhi's mind, making his face look a little solemn.
Li Zhi took a deep breath, and with a questioning tone in his voice, he said in a deep voice: "Who are you? Did you poison my food?"
The woman didn't show any sign of panic when she heard this. Instead, she covered her mouth and chuckled softly. Her laughter was clear and melodious, like a silver bell, and it seemed particularly abrupt in the silent room.
After laughing, the woman slowly said, "Brother Li is well versed in the principles of alchemy. How could this little poison harm you? I just wanted to remind you, Brother Li."
Seeing that this woman was even aware of his knowledge of alchemy, Li Zhi's brows furrowed even deeper. He stared at the woman with a look of vigilance and caution, and asked, "Who are you?"
The woman curled her lips slightly, her expression revealing a hint of dissatisfaction. She said coquettishly, "Brother Li, aren't you curious about what I want to remind you of?"
Hearing this, Li Zhi narrowed his eyes and replied with a forced smile, "Compared to this, I'm actually more curious about your identity."
Seeing this, the woman raised the corner of her mouth slightly, winked at Li Zhi with a smile, and said in a sweet voice: "Brother Li, we just met a while ago. Don't you really have no impression of me at all?"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhi frowned slightly, his expression gradually darkening, revealing a hint of impatience. He stared at the woman in front of him, wondering in his heart, who is this woman?
The woman saw that Li Zhi's face was getting uglier and uglier, and she knew that if she continued to keep him in suspense, Li Zhi would probably get angry on the spot.
So, she quickly put away her smile and said seriously, "Brother Li, do you really not remember Anu?"
"Anu?"
Li Zhi's eyes suddenly flashed, and he looked at the woman intently, but he found it difficult to connect the graceful woman in front of him with the little girl Anu in his memory.
Anu naturally noticed Li Zhi's doubts, and she quickly explained, "Brother Li, you don't know that the Zhao family placed a forbidden spell on me. This curse not only restricted my vitality and growth, but also made my appearance remain that of a child. Now that I have broken the curse, I have naturally restored my original appearance."
Li Zhi glanced at Anu with suspicion, but he did not dwell on the truth of Anu's words. He just asked calmly: "So you said you wanted to remind me, but what did you want to remind me of?"
Anu blinked and replied, "Of course I want to remind you to be careful. The Xingyun Sect has issued an order to capture you!"
Li Zhi's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was somewhat surprised by Anu's words. He twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a disdainful smile, and said, "This is simply a huge joke! I haven't offended the Xingyun Sect at all. Why would they want to arrest me for no reason?"
Anu looked at Li Zhi's indifferent expression and felt a little annoyed.
Her pretty face turned serious, and she pretended to be serious. She said, "The order of the Xingyun Sect has been spread everywhere. Anyone who can recapture the Heart of the Star will receive a Star Baptism!"
Li Zhi was shocked when he heard this. Although he didn't know what Star Baptism was, just hearing the name made him feel that it was not simple.
Moreover, he had never expected that he would actually be put on the bounty list again, all because of the Heart of the Stars. Li Zhi cursed the dead Ah Sheng in his heart. If Ah Sheng had not forced the Heart of the Stars on him before his death, he would not have been put on the bounty list again.
However, although he was impatient, Li Zhi did not show it on the surface. Instead, he sneered and said, "Haha... I don't know what you are talking about! What Star Heart? It has nothing to do with me!"
Seeing that Li Zhi was still quibbling at this time, Anu couldn't help but roll her eyes and said unhappily: "Brother Li, I have already found you, what's the point of you saying this? Besides, if I can find you, others can naturally find you too..."
After hearing what Anu said, a hint of murderous intent flashed across Li Zhi's half-closed eyes.
It is not known whether this Anu is an enemy or a friend, and Li Zhi also believes that her real intention is definitely not as simple as she said, she just came to remind him.
After all, they had only met once and had no friendship at all. How could the other party come all the way to remind him?
Anu seemed to sense Li Zhi's murderous intent. Her body trembled slightly, and she looked at Li Zhi with a somewhat evasive look. She opened her lips slightly and said slowly: "Brother Li, I know you have doubts about me. I will not hide it from you. I came to you this time for a purpose..."
Li Zhi stared at Anu with a hawk-like gaze and asked in a cold tone, "What's your purpose?"
Anu felt the murderous intent emanating from Li Zhi still lingering around her, and her heart couldn't help but tighten, but she still replied calmly: "I want to seek revenge on the Zhao family. The Zhao family is a family affiliated with the Xingyun Sect. They are very powerful. I can't compete with them alone. So, I hope you can help me!"
After hearing Anu's words, Li Zhi's murderous intent seemed to subside a little.
When in Heyun Market, Li Zhi heard Cen Mu and Shao Qi say that Anu was originally handed over by the Zhao family to Yaowang Valley to be trained as a medicine slave, and the Zhao family was indeed a family under the Xingyun Sect.
Therefore, when he heard that Anu's purpose was to seek revenge on the Zhao family, a look of enlightenment appeared on his face.
However, Li Zhi's expression changed immediately. He shouted in a low voice: "What a joke! How can we deal with the Zhao family with our strength?"
Anu was extremely anxious and quickly explained, "Anu is not stupid. I'm certainly not foolish enough to want to deal with the entire Zhao family. I just want to kill Zhao Qingtong, the head of the Zhao family!"
Anu's words revealed a deep hatred, as if she had an irreconcilable feud with Zhao Qingtong.
Li Zhi narrowed his eyes. He could feel that Anu's resentment and hatred towards Zhao Qingtong were not false. Such strong hatred could not be faked.
Li Zhi nodded slightly and said, "If we only need to kill one person, then it's not difficult... But do you have a specific plan?"
Seeing that Li Zhi's tone had softened, Anu was immediately delighted. She quickly nodded and replied, "Of course!"
Li Zhi felt relieved upon seeing this and continued, "Okay! In that case, we can work together. First, you help me escape from here, and then I'll help you kill Zhao Qingtong!"
When Anu heard this, the joy on her face became more obvious, and she said excitedly: "Okay!"
