With that, he walked toward the camp of Great Wei’s diplomatic mission.
Lu Wenshuang didn’t say a word and followed two steps behind Zhou Shu.
Seeing Zhou Shu leave the camp, the commander of the guards, Chen Ji, gave Yin Chengshan a look. Yin Chengshan and his team quickly followed.
“Don’t be so nervous. I’m just going over to chat with an old friend.” Zhou Shu drove them back. “They won’t dare to do anything to me in public. Even if they dare, there’s Deputy Envoy Lu around. You guys can also rush over any time.”
In front of Hangu Pass, there were the camps of several countries. Unless Great Wei went crazy, they wouldn’t assassinate the official envoy of Great Xia in public.
While Yin Chengshan hesitated, Zhou Shu had already walked far away.
He gritted his teeth. He didn’t follow, nor did he return to the camp. Instead, he brought his men and waited in place, his gaze fixed on Zhou Shu. As long as there was any movement, he would immediately rush over to help.
Zhou Shu came to the camp of Great Wei’s diplomatic mission. After revealing his identity, Shen Yue quickly appeared in front of him.
This time, Shen Yue was no longer a deputy envoy but an official envoy…
Ever since Shen Yue appeared, Zhou Shu had been staring fixedly at him.
“Brother Zhou, you’ve been staring at me the entire time. Have you forgotten about me after not meeting for a short period of time?” Shen Yue said with cupped hands, his expression not changing in the slightest.
“Brother Zhou, I haven’t congratulated you on your promotion yet. Speaking of which, I deserve some credit for your promotion, right?” he joked.
A strange look flashed across Zhou Shu’s eyes. The Shen Yue in front of him was no different from the Shen Yue he had seen before.
Even if they were twins, it was impossible for them to be exactly the same. Zhou Shu was very confident in his own judgment. With his cultivation, it was impossible for him not to be able to tell whether they were twins or the same person. Shen Yue really came back to life! Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes slightly. He had killed Shen Yue personally by chopping off his head. Even a first-rank martial artist wouldn’t survive with their head chopped off.
Furthermore, there was the feedback from the Legendary Armament Canon. If he hadn’t died back then, why would the Legendary Armament Canon give him benefits?
How did he come back to life?
“It’s been a few months since we last met. Brother Shen, you’re still as elegant as ever.” Zhou Shu grinned, revealing his white and neat teeth. “After we parted in You Prefecture that day, I’ve really missed you.” Shen Yue was slightly stunned, but his expression didn’t show any falsehood.
“You Prefecture? Brother Zhou, did you remember wrongly? After we parted in Chang’an, we have never met again,” Shen Yue said.
Zhou Shu looked straight into Shen Yue’s eyes, and Shen Yue didn’t avoid his gaze.
“Brother Zhou, you came to look for me because of Great Qin’s trial?” Shen Yue continued. “I also wanted to discuss it with you. I admire your forging skills.”
Something is wrong! Very wrong!
Even in Chang’an, before Shen Yue revealed his true intentions, he and Zhou Shu didn’t have much of a relationship.
Now, he kept calling him Brother Zhou as if they were very close.
In fact, when Shen Yue was in Chang’an, they didn’t speak to each other much.
At the end of the day, Great Wei and Great Xia were enemies. How could Shen Yue be so friendly toward him?
Was it because he couldn’t threaten him directly in front of outsiders?
Did he think that he could manipulate him just because he knew his secret?
Could it be that he felt that he had died too easily last time?
Zhou Shu’s heart stirred. He said, “That’s right. Brother Shen, your reputation as a genius has spread far and wide. I came here to discuss Great Qin’s trial with you. Is this convenient?”
Since he can’t find an opportunity to threaten me in public, I’ll create an opportunity for him.
“Of course.” As expected, Shen Yue didn’t refuse and reached out his hand to make an inviting gesture. “Brother Zhou, please forgive me for the poor conditions of the camp.”
“No, no. We don’t even have a camp yet.”
Zhou Shu and Shen Yue made some meaningless small talk as they entered Shen Yue’s tent.
Lu Wenshuang was about to follow when Zhou Shu suddenly stopped. “Wait for me outside.”
Lu Wenshuang was about to speak when Zhou Shu said angrily, “I’m talking to Brother Shen. Why are you, a maid, getting involved? Wait for me outside!”
He snorted and turned back to Shen Yue. “I’ve spoiled her at home. She doesn’t obey me.”

Shen Yue smiled. “Brother Zhou, you are so lucky.” Lu Wenshuang watched as the tent’s curtain fell. Her chest rose and fell violently, and her eyes shone with a cold light.
With a snort, she turned around with a murderous look and guarded the door.
Zhou Shu had probed Shen Yue. It seems Shen Yue doesn’t know Lu Wenshuang’s true identity.
Although Lu Wenshuang’s name resounded throughout the continent, not many people had actually seen her.
Many people in the diplomatic mission didn’t know that she was one of the deputy envoys.
Most of the time, she simply followed behind Zhou Shu without saying a word. She seemed more like a maid, not the third most powerful person in the diplomatic mission.
The two of them sat down in the tent.
Zhou Shu looked at Shen Yue and said, “Some things can’t be said in front of outsiders. You can say it now.”
He went straight to the point. It was as if he wanted to see what this Shen Yue was up to. He was sure that even if Shen Yue was shrewd, he wouldn’t be able to tolerate the murderer who killed him.
Shen Yue’s expression was slightly startled. He was stunned for a moment before saying, “What do you mean, Brother Zhou?
“Although there are some grudges between Great Wei and Great Xia, it has nothing to do with us…”
“Shen Yue, it’s just the two of us now. Why are you acting so hypocritically?” Zhou Shu laughed coldly.
Shen Yue’s expression froze, and then a smile slowly appeared on his face.
Seeing his smile, Zhou Shu snorted coldly in his heart. He’s finally revealed his true appearance. He’s clearly a villain, so why is he pretending to be a gentleman!?
“As expected of someone who climbed up from the ranks from a Forging Apprentice, even if you were conferred a title, you can’t escape the style of a peasant,” Shen Yue mocked. “You belong to the upper class, but the head of an upper-class person isn’t any heavier than the head of a peasant.” Zhou Shu laughed coldly.
“Zhou Shu, I will make you and Mi Ziwen pay for what you did to my brother!” Shen Yue’s face was as cold as ice and full of killing intent.
Zhou Shu looked at Shen Yue and saw that the hatred on his face was real.
But his hatred is because of his brother?
Zhou Shu knew who Shen Yue’s elder brother was. His elder brother was the spy who had been lurking around Mi Ziwen.
Later on, he was killed by Mi Ziwen.
Because of this, Shen Yue hated Mi Ziwen and even hated Zhou Shu, Mi Ziwen’s sworn brother.
The problem was, if he wanted to hate someone, shouldn’t he hate Zhou Shu more?
He had killed him before.
Does he not remember dying?
Or maybe he doesn’t remember me killing him?
“Shen Yue, how does it feel to die?” Zhou Shu suddenly said.
Shen Yue’s expression froze again. He frowned and said, “Zhou Shu, what nonsense are you spouting!” There was disgust and impatience in his eyes. Seeing Shen Yue’s expression, Zhou Shu was almost certain that Shen Yue didn’t remember dying! “Shen Yue, is Xiao Shunzhi dead?” Zhou Shu probed again.
Shen Yue’s eyes were cold. “Zhou Shu, do you think you can look down on my teacher just because he lost an arm? Who do you think you are? You’re just a mere marquis!”
Upon hearing that Xiao Shunzhi was also alive, Zhou Shu let out a sigh of relief.
It sounded like Shen Yue didn’t know that he had severed Xiao Shunzhi’s arm.
Although he didn’t know what had happened, it seemed that after they came back to life, they forgot what had happened before they died.
They probably didn’t remember that they had died once, nor did they remember Zhou Shu’s true strength.
It made sense. If Shen Yue remembered, how would he dare to be alone with him?
Did he not know that Zhou Shu could easily kill a noob like him?
“I’m nobody. At the very least, I’ll win you all again and make you scram with your tails between your legs,” Zhou Shu said calmly. “Haha.” Shen Yue suddenly laughed out loud. “Zhou Shu, do you think you can win against me? The last time we bet on the two prefectures, did you really think you won with your own ability?
“If I were you, I would return home right now. Otherwise, you will be the one embarrassed. Don’t blame me for not warning you!” Shen Yue said confidently.
Zhou Shu looked at him like he was an idiot. “I really admire your confidence. I’m just waiting to see how you’ll embarrass me.”
