The Li Household's Sinners Seek an Audience with Young Master Lu

Wang Yin suppressed the turmoil in his heart and quickly said, "I'm fine, I'm fine! Seventh Miss, there's no need to worry!"

He said he was fine, but his heart was still pounding.

However, he had lived for hundreds of years, and after a brief moment of unease, he quickly regained his composure.

Regardless of whether that person is Nascent Soul True Lord or not, there is no doubt that this Young Master Lu's status is extremely noble!

For the entire Qin Household, it is an incredible fortuitous opportunity that the Seventh Miss is able to befriend such a noble young man.

As a retainer of the Qin Household, Wang Yin was naturally extremely excited.

He had even planned to report this matter to the head of the family later!

While Wang Yin was lost in thought, Lu Yang had already slowly walked to the edge of the deck.

He had been staying in the cultivation room, immersed in his understanding of the Metal Dao and the Dao of Sword Dao.

The feeling of gradually dissecting and understanding the Great Dao was like drinking fine wine to him, making him almost forget about time.

It wasn't until Wang Da reminded him through Divine Sense that the flying boat was approaching the Golden Sun Mountain Range and had encountered the Qin Household's flying boat that he reluctantly withdrew from his reverie.

He originally wanted to go to the bedroom to see how Senior Sister Lin was resting, but Jiang Shiqing told him that Senior Sister Lin had already left the room and gone to the deck, and specifically instructed her to wait for Lu Yang at the door.

So Lu Yang led Jiang Shiqing and Wang Da's group out of the main hall.

A crisp, cold wind from high above, carrying with it the faint golden aura unique to the Golden Sun Mountain Range, swept over us.

Lu Yang raised his hand to gather his clothes that had been blown about by the wind, his gaze sweeping over the Qin Household boat not far ahead.

Standing on the deck were Qin Nanyue and her group. Their expressions all showed varying degrees of shock, clearly quite frightened by Lu Yang's flying boat.

Lu Yang understood.

He only took out the flying boat when he left the Golden Sun Mountain Range last time, in order to lure Li Yao out.

Now, he naturally has no need to hide anything.

It's understandable that Qin Nanyue and her companions were shocked, as this was the first time they had ever seen such a hundred-foot-long flying boat.

He smiled slightly and called out to the Qin Household boat, "Senior Sister Qin, fellow Qin Household uncles, and Senior Brother Qin Ming, it's been a few days. How have you been?"

His tone was casual and natural, like the casual greeting exchanged when he bumped into an acquaintance.

Qin Huan and the others looked at Lu Yang, their expressions showing a hint of tension.

After all, they weren't very familiar with Lu Yang; they had only met him once.

Although their last meeting in the market was quite pleasant, Lu Yang's demeanor and bearing had earned them their favor.

But they didn't know Lu Yang's identity at the time!

If they had known beforehand that Lu Yang's vehicle was a hundred-foot-long flying boat, they probably wouldn't have dared to speak so freely.

Now, faced with Lu Yang's greeting, they were momentarily at a loss for words.

Qin Nanyue, however, did not have this concern.

The two were still chatting via telepathy using their sect tokens yesterday.

She stood with her hands on her hips, a hint of feigned anger in her handsome eyes. "You, Junior Brother Lu! You didn't mention a word about a flying boat of this caliber to me before! You really gave me a fright just now!"

Lu Yang chuckled and shrugged, his tone nonchalant. "Weren't we going in different directions before? Otherwise, I would have taken Senior Sister Qin and the others back with me."

Seeing that Lu Yang's attitude was exactly the same as last time, without the slightest airs, Qin Huan and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Yun, being naturally easygoing, immediately replied cheerfully, "If I had known that Martial Nephew Lu had such a flying boat, I definitely would have gone the same way as Martial Nephew Lu!"

Upon hearing this, the others couldn't help but laugh.

The slightly awkward atmosphere on the deck eased quietly with these few laughs.

Qin Xiaohe's eyes darted between the palaces and array patterns on the flying boat, and she finally couldn't help but ask, "Martial Nephew Lu, can we go up and take a look?"

Lu Yang chuckled and said, "Of course."

Qin Huan and the others' eyes lit up.

Qin Huan took off first, taking Qin Ming, who was not yet able to fly using his qi, with her; Qin Xiaohe followed closely behind, carrying Qin Nanyue as they steadily flew through the churning clouds between the two boats.

Several figures traced clean arcs in the sunlight, landing lightly on the spacious deck of the Flowing Light Flying Boat.

Wang Yin stood on the deck of the Qin Household boat, watching everyone board the ship without offering any obstruction.

Just kidding, this is a rare opportunity to deepen his friendship with this young master, and he is naturally happy to see it happen.

Qin Huan and the others landed and looked at the spacious deck, exclaiming in amazement.

The spiritual wood deck beneath their feet was wide enough for several Black-Scaled Horses to run across. The natural grain of the wood flowed like water, and spiritual light subtly swirled between the wood fibers.

Not far away, three palaces with upturned eaves and corners, their vermilion pillars and glazed tiles reflecting a warm luster under the sunlight.

The concentration of Spiritual Qi in the air was much higher than outside, and with each breath, I felt my meridians become more relaxed.

"It looks huge from the outside, but standing on this deck is even more terrifying." Qin Yun looked around, his tone filled with undisguised shock.

Qin Huan's gaze fell on the spirit wood beams and pillars of the palace, and she couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement, "Yes, those three palaces are so luxurious! This spirit wood... it's probably at least third or even fourth grade, right? The concentration of Spiritual Qi is so high!"

Qin Lan squatted by the ship's railing, staring wide-eyed at the array patterns emanating from the edge of the deck. "Hiss... Look at this array! It's so mysterious and complex! The patterns are layered upon layered, I can't even understand them. I bet even Peak Golden Core cultivator couldn't break it!"

"..."

The Qin Household cultivators were mostly young people, and they were naturally curious about this luxurious and high-end flying boat.

They were as excited as children who had just received a new toy, running around on the deck, occasionally letting out a hushed gasp.

After boarding the ship, Lin Ying went straight to Qin Nanyue.

The two women stood hand in hand at the edge of the boat, very close together, the mountain wind causing their skirts to bunch up.

There was a faint fluctuation of Spiritual Qi in the air; they were clearly whispering to each other.

Lin Ying had a gentle smile on her lips, but her ears were slightly red.

Qin Nanyue would occasionally turn her head and quickly glance in Lu Yang's direction, her gaze filled with rather subtle emotions.

Lu Yang was a little confused by that look. Had Senior Sister Lin told Senior Sister Qin some rather private things about the two of them?

Isn't that a bad idea?

Just then, two streaks of light suddenly appeared in the market and headed towards the flying boat.

It was an old man and a young man.

The old man had long, gray hair that was loosely draped over his shoulders, the ends of which were dry and tangled, as if he hadn't taken care of it in a long time.

He was thin, his blue robe was slightly wrinkled, and his face was ashen and haggard.

The young man had a fair complexion, handsome features, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and an air of scholarly refinement. However, at this moment, his face was also withered, with two deep dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept for days.

The two made no attempt to conceal their movements, and Wang Yin immediately noticed someone approaching.

He looked over, and when he saw the old man, he was taken aback, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Old Li Ao?! Didn't your Li Household seal off the mountain? Why are you out here again?"

Li Ao ignored Wang Yin.

The two stopped a short distance in front of the Flowing Light Flying Boat, not daring to get any closer.

Then, in mid-air, they lowered their heads, cupped their hands, and bowed deeply, their voices echoing through the air, carried by spiritual energy.

"Li Ao and Li Feng, the traitors of the Li Household, have come to pay their respects to Young Master Lu!"

Their voices echoed in the air, and everyone from the Qin Household, Lin Ying, Jiang Shiqing, and the other cultivators watching from afar all turned to look.

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow, looking at the two with some surprise.

People from the Li Household?

Lu Yang had already arranged for Wang Ba to keep an eye on the Li Household, but the news he received was that the Li Household had actually closed the mountain and hadn't even exchanged greetings during the New Year.

Lu Yang guessed that this was most likely Xiao Changli putting pressure on the Li Household through the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

After all, Xiao Changli left that day.

But he never expected that someone from the Li Household had been secluded in the mountains, would actually come out and specifically to find him.

Lu Yang glanced at Li Feng, whose expression was haggard and whose face was pale.

He had met Li Feng once.

When the auction ended, Li Feng and Li Yao came together to buy the Supreme-Grade Yellow Dragon Pill from him.

Actually, Lu Yang's impression of Li Feng wasn't too bad.

After all, Li Feng had paid a premium for the purchase, and his attitude was relatively mild and polite.

Moreover, Lu Yang did not persist in pursuing the matter after refusing, which was entirely a normal transaction.

Lu Yang wasn't crazy, so he wouldn't kill someone just because they wanted to buy his pills.

If Li Yao hadn't acted so arrogantly and ruthlessly at the time, Lu Yang wouldn't have even had any thoughts about him.

Unexpectedly, when they met again, Li Feng claimed to be a sinner.

With Lu Yang's current intelligence, he quickly understood why the two people had come here.

It's likely that the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect exerted pressure, making the Li Household realize his extraordinary background. Fearing he would settle scores later, they chose to cut their losses and send Li Ao and Li Feng over to vent their anger.

Li Feng failed to keep an eye on Li Yao at the time. And who is this Li Ao?

Golden Core Realm cultivation level...

Considering Li Yao's unbridled arrogance, it's likely not something that developed overnight.

Is this senior figure Li Yao's powerful backer?

Perhaps even a direct bloodline?

Lu Yang's mind raced with thoughts, but his face remained impassive.

Lu Yang suppressed his thoughts and chuckled, "Uncle-Master Li Feng, it's been a long time. And this Senior Li Ao, we seem to have never met before. What crime have you committed?"

Lu Yang's voice was gentle and his tone was calm and casual, without the slightest hint of anger.

This caused both Li Ao and Li Feng to break out in a cold sweat.

Especially Li Ao.

His body was ice-cold, and his heart was filled with fear.

As Golden Core Realm cultivator, his senses were far more acute than Li Feng's.

From the moment he appeared, several terrifying Divine Senses descended upon him, locking him firmly from head to toe.

Those Divine Senses were as heavy as mountains, causing the circulation of Spiritual Qi within his body to become somewhat sluggish.

Li Ao had no doubt that if he made any potentially threatening move, these Divine Senses would instantly transform into a terrifying attack and devour him!

One of the Divine Senses was as profound as an abyss, far exceeding his comprehension!

When Li Ao was young, he traveled to Qin Province and had the good fortune to see two Nascent Soul True Lords from afar.

The terrifying, god-like Gods and Devils Divine Sense of the two True Lords left an extremely deep impression on him.

However, at this moment he was shocked to discover that even the two True Lords in his memory who would wake him up in the middle of the night had far inferior Divine Senses compared to the one before him!

Those two True Lords, one Early Nascent Soul and the other in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

What kind of being is this?!

Nascent Soul Late Stage?

Still at the Peak Nascent Soul??

Li Ao's back was completely soaked, his blue robe clinging to his spine, and the cold wind blowing from high above sent a chill straight to his bones.

At this moment, Li Ao's regret reached the peak of his life.

With such a terrifying Nascent Soul True Lord as his protector, just what kind of being is this young master?

Which immortal genius from which Immortal Sect Holy Land is roaming the mortal realm?

Which ancient clan's direct descendant is this?!

His indulgence led to Li Yao's arrogance and domineering behavior, which resulted in him offending such a powerful figure...

If time could turn back, Li Ao would love to go back in time and personally slap that bastard to death in his mother's womb!

But it's too late now.

Li Ao felt a chill in his heart, and his lips and teeth tasted bitter.

He had only one question on his mind.

Even if he and Li Feng were to commit suicide here today in front of this young master, could they still protect the Li Household?

In this young master's eyes, the Li Household, a force of nature, is probably like an ant, easily wiped out with a flick of the wrist.
