1188 Write Off Everything She Did in the Past (2)
Ever since Zhou Shu met Lu Wenshuang, she had always been a woman obsessed with the Martial Dao. She had a tenacious personality and had always been cold to outsiders.
Although later on, she had been influenced by Demon Queen Tushan after entering her dream, she mostly had a different style in bed. Overall, she rarely revealed her weak side.
Now that she was like this, Zhou Shu’s heart softened. “Okay. What did she leave behind?”
“It’s letters,” Lu Wenshuang said. “I found the letters Hongxiu left me at the training ground in Qingzhou.”
Back then, after Liang Hongxiu left the capital, she had gone to Qingzhou.
At the time, Lu Wenshuang had been training her troops in Qingzhou, and Liang Hongxiu had been in her first batch of soldiers.
There, Liang Hongxiu had learned the Martial Dao and became a member of Great Xia’s Demon Executing Army.
Perhaps to Liang Hongxiu, learning and growing up in Qingzhou had been the happiest time of her life.
At the time, she had been most hopeful.
Zhou Shu sighed. All living beings suffered. Who could be an exception?
“Let me see,” he said.
Lu Wenshuang took out the letters from her Cosmic Bangle.
For Grotto-Heaven realm martial artists, they actually rarely wrote letters.
Grotto-Heaven experts could use their minds to leave illusions.
The simplest method was to leave a message in a jade token. As long as someone stuck it between their eyebrows, they would be able to receive the message.
This method was much more convenient than handwritten letters.
Before Liang Hongxiu died, she was already a Grotto-Heaven realm expert. She could use this messaging method, but she didn’t use it.
Compared to this method, writing had one advantage. It didn’t produce any spiritual essence or spiritual fluctuations.
In other words, words were sometimes safer.
Perhaps this was why Liang Hongxiu had chosen to write letters by hand.
Zhou Shu opened the envelope and pulled out one of the letters inside.
The letter was full of beautiful writing. A woman who could write so beautifully must be an elegant woman.
It’s a pity… Zhou Shu sighed with emotion.
With Liang Hongxiu’s looks and talent, she didn’t deserve such an ending. She should have had a happy life.
He wondered who had bewitched her and if there would be an answer in these letters.
Zhou Shu looked down.
The letter talked about some everyday matters, mainly about cultivating with Lu Wenshuang back then.
During this period, she had naturally missed Zhou Shu.
Lu Wenshuang’s eyes turned red as she read. She grabbed Zhou Shu’s sleeve tightly and tried very hard not to cry.
Liang Hongxiu wrote a lot of letters, almost detailing the first half of her life.
Soon, the letters were about the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament and their struggle to survive in the Demon Realm.
Zhou Shu’s heart skipped a beat.
If not for Lu Wenshuang beside him, he would have flipped to the back to see who had bewitched her.
But Lu Wenshuang was agitated, so Zhou Shu could only endure it and read through the letters one by one.
“So, Hongxiu had already changed at that time,” Lu Wenshuang murmured.
Clues finally began to appear in the letters.
According to Liang Hongxiu, when Lu Wenshuang and Zhou Shu first got together, someone had already contacted Liang Hongxiu.
But at the time, she chose to refuse.
Afterward, Liang Hongxiu’s personality kept changing. When Zhou Shu disappeared, she completely changed.
She felt that Zhou Shu had been harmed, and she wasn’t strong enough to avenge him, so she chose to cooperate with the other party and betrayed herself in exchange for strength.
But she didn’t say who the mastermind was.
“Hongxiu is a pitiful woman,” Lu Wenshuang whispered.
Everything she had done was for the person she loved, although her actions were too extreme.
But as a woman, Lu Wenshuang could relate.
After Zhou Shu disappeared, hadn’t she also cultivated day and night in order to have the strength to find out the truth behind his disappearance?
But she had talent and resources. More importantly, she was Zhou Shu’s woman.
As for Liang Hongxiu, she had nothing. She could only work hard quietly.
Lu Wenshuang said, “I knew it. She’s not an evil person.”
“Humans are complicated. How can they be distinguished simply by the words good and evil?” Zhou Shu shook his head and continued reading.
“So it’s him!” Zhou Shu’s pupils suddenly constricted, and he frowned.
Surprise flashed across Lu Wenshuang’s frosty face. “How could it be him?”
The two of them looked at each other and continued reading.
After Liang Hongxiu joined the organization, the other party had indeed provided her with a lot of resources. Her cultivation had also risen to the Grotto-Heaven realm with the other party’s help.
In between, she had naturally helped him do some things.
But she didn’t participate in the robbery of forging materials and the killing of thousands of soldiers.
Perhaps the other party knew that Liang Hongxiu had done so much for Zhou Shu, so he would definitely not do anything to hurt him.
Had Liang Hongxiu found out that he had planned to rob Zhou Shu’s forging materials, it would have probably caused more trouble.
Lu Wenshuang heaved a sigh of relief and said happily, “I knew it. Hongxiu didn’t do those crazy things!”
Zhou Shu shook his head secretly. Although she didn’t massacre the thousands of soldiers, she had done many bad things over the years.
No matter what her original intention was, she had done too many things. Even if she had done them for Zhou Shu, she couldn’t absolve herself.
Of course, now that she was dead, everything was gone. Right and wrong were no longer important.
At the end of the letters, Zhou Shu suddenly stood up, and his eyes lit up. “This…”
Previously, when he found out who the mastermind was, he didn’t have such a big reaction. Now, his reaction was big enough to see how great the waves in his heart were.
“Master.” Lu Wenshuang was also surprised. She had seen the contents of the letters and said in disbelief, “Hongxiu defected to the enemy from beyond the heavens?”
If it were the things Liang Hongxiu had done in the past, Lu Wenshuang could still find an excuse for her, but she couldn’t defend her for this matter!
Even if she defected to the demonic beasts, Lu Wenshuang would find it easier to accept.
But joining the enemy from beyond the heavens was a true betrayal of this world.
Zhou Shu shook his head. “You can’t call it defecting. From the beginning to the end, Liang Hongxiu probably didn’t even know of the existence of the enemy from beyond the heavens.
“This is the saddest thing about her. She didn’t know what she had done until she died. Ignorance isn’t her fault, but she will be hurt by it just the same.”
Zhou Shu said in a low voice, “But her letters have played a great role.
“I was already looking for it. I didn’t expect Liang Hongxiu to give me a huge surprise before Yao Buqi and the others forced it out!”
“She actually knows where it’s hiding! If we can destroy it, Liang Hongxiu will obtain the merit! With this merit, everything Liang Hongxiu did in the past can be written off!”
Zhou Shu’s eyes lit up.
“Little Lu, you don’t have to be sad anymore. Liang Hongxiu died a worthy death. From now on, she is still a member of the alliance army and our comrade-in-arms!”
Zhou Shu looked at Lu Wenshuang and said in a deep voice, “To the outside world, you can claim that she’s a spy we sent into the enemy!
“Now, we’re going to use the information she exchanged her life for to deal with the hand of the enemy from beyond the heavens!”
Zhou Shu’s eyes were brimming with killing intent!
