Zhu Er noticed their odd behavior, a flicker of annoyance rising in his heart.
It was obvious that these people in front of him were hiding something from him.
Fortunately, the Empress stepped out at just the right moment and spoke: "This current defensive arrangement was set up by the various teachers. However, we did reference Scholar Lu's deployment when he ambushed and killed those Evil Cultivators."
"So that's how it is. That man is indeed quite capable."
Zhu Er's impression of Lu Chang'sheng improved by a few degrees.
If Lu Chang'sheng weren't so old, and if returning him to the Spirit Realm in advance weren't so troublesome, perhaps he really could recruit him into his own clan to make use of him.
After all, the Zhu Family governs a sizable region—just the population of cultivators exceeds ten thousand; there are plenty of things they can't manage alone, so they need some common folk for support.
