My Runes Can Be Upgraded - Chapter 166

166 The Person Behind The Scenes 1

In the lobby on the first floor of the Changling building!

Li Changqing, who was unconscious due to the electric shock, slowly woke up.

“You’re awake?”

As soon as he woke up, Wu Tian came up to him and handed him a bottle of water. “Do you want to drink?”

!!
Li Changqing looked at Wu Tian in shock, then suddenly realized.

“So it’s you. No wonder. I didn’t lose unjustly in your hands!”

As he spoke, Li Changqing glanced around. When he didn’t see anyone else, he asked casually, “You’re the only one?”

“Mhm!”

Wu Tian, who was able to deduce Wu Wei’s situation with just a few clues, nodded his head in a silly manner.

“You’re already under control. If there are no accidents, I can keep an eye on you alone. If there are any accidents, they won’t be of any use, so I sent them to explore the remains.”

Li Changqing seemed to be very familiar with Wu Tian, so he was not surprised by his answer.

“That’s your personality!” He nodded.

Then, the master and disciple fell into a short silence.

Li Changqing didn’t know what to say. After all, in his current situation, he felt that it would be wrong to say anything to Wu Tian.

All he wanted to do now was to break free from the restraints and complete his mission.

That’s right, even in such a situation, Li Changqing still had no intention of giving up on the mission.

Wu Wei had to die for his wife!

Even though he knew that the other party might not keep his promise.

Even if he knew that he would definitely die in this wave.

He had to complete his mission.

He had no other choice.

However, when Li Changqing tried to communicate with his heart and break free, he realized that there was something wrong with the dagger in his heart.

That dagger seemed to have put the power of [ Holy Lotus ] into a deep sleep.

The cursed dagger!

Li Changqing recognized it at once. It was a weapon that had been specially developed to deal with ‘salvation’.

It was able to use the power of curses to suppress the Holy Lotus.

At this moment, his Holy Lotus was completely suppressed.

Without the power of the Holy lotus flower, his right hand was already crippled, and he had suffered injuries of varying degrees all over his body.

If he wanted to escape in this state, it was not impossible, but it would be extremely dangerous.

Realizing this, Li Changqing’s heart sank to the bottom.

Only then did the feelings of regret surge up.

He turned to Wu Tian.

“I’m very curious, how did you know I was going to the remains? Also, how did you know that I would choose to go up to the 75th floor and set up a trap there in advance?”

Hearing Li Changqing’s question, Wu Tian’s furrowed brows relaxed and he heaved a long sigh of relief.

He knew that Li Changqing could ask such a question because he was remorseful, and because he was really at a loss.

This meant that the control was effective.

This way, he could continue with peace of mind.

“We’ve met once when junior Wu Wei came over,”

“He asked you for help?”

“No, he chose a gentler approach, but I found out.”

As for how the students were sure that their teacher would go to the 75th floor, it was actually very simple.

His teacher had come after junior Wu Wei, so he should be able to vaguely sense his position.

According to my observation, junior should have an identity card on him that can directly go to the 78th floor and above. You should be able to track him.

“The matter on the first floor will prevent you from going straight up to the 78th floor, so you’ll most likely choose between the 70th and 78th floor.

He obtained another identity card and continued to go up from top to bottom.

After understanding this situation, it was logical for the students to guess the 75th floor.

Because master’s wife’s birthday is on the 5th of July!”

Li Changqing’s expression changed when he heard Wu Tian’s words. He wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words.

Wu Tian lowered his head and spoke again.

“Teacher, you were forced to do this, right?”

This sentence was like a morning bell ringing in Li Changqing’s ears. It rippled through his heart and brain, causing his brain to shut down at this moment.

Li Changqing didn’t reply, but Wu Tian seemed to have seen the answer he wanted from Li Changqing’s face.

“As expected, there’s more to this than meets the eye.

To be honest, when the students heard that their teacher was salvation and had betrayed Yuehua city, their first reaction was disbelief.

Although teacher is a little extreme in some matters, there is one thing that is beyond doubt, and that is your feelings for master’s wife.

From the fact that you chose the 75th floor without any hesitation, I can tell that you still have deep feelings for her.

That way, you will never betray Yuehua city and join salvation.

This would put her in danger, and this was not something she wanted to see.

And taking ten thousand steps back, your wisdom and means are unquestionable.

If you’re really a person of ‘salvation’ and want to get something from junior Wu Wei, there’s no need for you to do that.

I can’t understand your actions at that time. Why would you do such an irrational thing?”

Wu Tian paused, looked at Li Changqing, and continued.

“I think you were forced.

You becoming a person of salvation should be a recent matter.

At the very least, before you attack junior Wu Wei, you shouldn’t be a person of salvation.

You were probably forced to become a member of ‘salvation’ after you attacked junior Wu Wei.

Thus, I tried to put myself in your shoes and put myself in your shoes. I gained a little from this.”
