Making a Friend Out of Nothing?
The Holy Lord requests your presence?
Lu Changsheng stood up, bid farewell to Xu Jian for the time being, and then walked to another main table.
"Chang Sheng, come, come, quickly take a seat, quickly take a seat."
When a Supreme Elder saw Lu Changsheng approaching, he invited Lu Changsheng to sit down with a smile on his face.
"My fellow disciples, this is the main table. Is it inappropriate for a junior like me to sit here?"
Lu Changsheng spoke up because the people sitting at this table were all old men, probably over 100,000 years old in total.
There's a serious generation gap when sitting with these people.
"What's wrong with that? Although you are a junior, I feel an instant connection with you. If you don't mind, call me elder brother. From now on, we'll address each other as elder brothers. You can call me junior uncle, and I'll call you younger brother!"
The Supreme Elder said with a smile.
This made Lu Changsheng feel inexplicably like he had been taken advantage of.
However, he didn't think much of it and sat down.
I want to see what they're trying to do.
No sooner had I sat down than a sound rang out.
"Longevity."
"My nephew is here."
Lu Changsheng immediately spoke.
"It's like this, you see, all the immortal swords in our Shu Gate Sword Mountain have been taken by you alone. It's not that we're stingy, after all, they're unclaimed, and people take them if they're destined to. But since you obtained the Yin Yang Divine Stone in the Yin Yang Holy Land and became the Guardian Supreme Elder of the Yin Yang Holy Land, shouldn't you also take up a position in our Shu Gate Holy Land?"
The Supreme Elder spoke with a smile on his face, but his words were direct and straightforward.
"What merit or ability do I possess? However, if the Shu Gate Holy Land does not mind, I can make a contribution to the Shu Gate Holy Land, which can be considered as repaying the debt of karma to the Sword Immortal."
Taking a nominal position isn't a loss for Lu Changsheng, and he's already used to it. Since he's going to become the Daoist Eldest Senior Brother anyway, taking a nominal position in each sect is no problem. If something really happens to him in the future, they'll have to help him.
I won't suffer any loss, I won't suffer any loss at all.
Upon hearing this, everyone at the head table couldn't help but smile.
Then the Shu Gate Holy Lord spoke up directly, "Since Changsheng, Martial Nephew is so straightforward, it makes us seem a bit inappropriate. Come, let's raise our glasses together as a way of welcoming Changsheng, Martial Nephew."
The Shu Gate Holy Lord laughed heartily.
Then everyone raised their glasses and drank together in perfect harmony.
However, the Shu Gate Holy Lord soon continued, "Changsheng, Martial Nephew, since we are all family now, I will not be reserved. You can stay here for a few days. I will have my good-for-nothing disciple take you to Sword Cliff. Changsheng, Martial Nephew, if you don't mind, could you leave behind one or two peerless sword intents so that these Shu Sect disciples can learn from them?"
In these words, the Shu Gate Holy Lord put forward his final idea.
Leaving behind the sword intent for the disciples to comprehend is not very useful for cultivators who already possess their own sword intent; at most, they can only use it as a reference.
However, for many newly initiated disciples, this sword intent can help them step closer to the path of swordsmanship.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng finally understood what the Shu Gate Holy Land was planning.
But thinking about it carefully, it's not a big problem. It's just leaving behind a trace of sword intent.
It's not a big problem. After all, I took ten peerless Peerless Immortal Sword from someone else, so leaving behind a few sword intents isn't a big deal.
"It's a small matter."
Lu Changsheng spoke, answering calmly.
Upon hearing this, everyone became excited again.
"Changsheng, Martial Nephew, you truly live up to your reputation for proving the Dao of the Sword; you are indeed extraordinary."
"Compared to Changsheng, my disciple is simply incredibly stupid."
"Yes, compared to Changsheng, are our disciples even human?"
"Indeed, look at Changsheng, sitting here, as still as a virgin, with unparalleled temperament, humble and polite. Look at our disciples, they do nothing all day long, just drinking and making merry. It's infuriating!"
"Slap! Stop talking, I'm going to go beat up my apprentices right now, I can't stand them anymore."
"Take me with you!"
"I'm going too!"
"I wasn't really angry at first, but after hearing what you guys said, I'm actually getting angry. Let's go, let's go beat them up together."
The seven or Supreme Elder were inexplicably enraged, mainly because they saw Lu Changsheng as so elegant and unparalleled in temperament, having attained the supreme sword path at such a young age, and being so humble and polite. In contrast, their own disciples were unambitious, playful, and mischievous, creating a stark contrast.
That's why I was so angry.
"Alright! Stop fooling around."
The voice of the Shu Gate Holy Lord rang out, making Lu Changsheng slightly sigh that at least there was still a normal person among them.
However, Lu Changsheng was taken aback by the next sentence from the Shu Gate Holy Lord.
"Don't talk about fighting in front of my Changsheng, Martial Nephew. If you want to fight, wait until after the banquet and back home."
The Shu Gate Holy Lord said irritably.
The Supreme Elder agreed that this made perfect sense, and it was clear that these disciples were bound to get a beating no matter what.
However, soon, as it was almost over, the Shu Gate Holy Lord couldn't help but speak.
"I heard that the Exquisite Holy Lord invited you to her fifth birthday celebration?"
He spoke up, suddenly bringing up the matter.
"Hmm." Lu Changsheng nodded. Actually, what he really wanted to say was, did he need to hear about this? Wasn't it personally relayed to the Shu Gate Holy Land today? So many people heard it, didn't you?
But these words can only be kept in one's heart and cannot be spoken aloud.
"Then you'd better be careful," the Shu Gate Holy Lord said earnestly.
"What does the Holy Lord mean by this?"
For some reason, hearing the other person say that gave Lu Changsheng a bad feeling.
"You may not know this, Exquisite Holy Lord has an extreme aversion to men. I had a good friend who was hunted down by her for three years just because he glanced at her and said something frivolous. Sigh, remember this: beautiful women are all tigresses, so never mess with them!"
The Shu Gate Holy Lord was very serious.
However, Lu Changsheng had a strange feeling that the Shu Gate Holy Lord was creating a friend out of thin air.
But Lu Changsheng still had to remember this.
After all, it's normal for some women in this world not to like men, like Qian Qiye.
And so the feast ended late into the night.
Lu Changsheng went back to rest.
The night in Shumen was very peaceful, except for the occasional screams, everything seemed so beautiful.
"Ah! Master, why did you hit me for no reason?"
"How could I be unambitious? I practice swordsmanship every day."
"Master, to be honest, how can someone like me compare to Senior Brother Changsheng? If I had even a tenth of Senior Brother Changsheng's talent, would I need you to teach me? Hey, Master, you can't hit me if you can't win an argument. I respect you as my master, but you can't hit me for no reason."
"Holy Lord, I understand your feelings. Compared to Senior Brother Changsheng, we are indeed one ten-thousandth inferior. But if you want to fight, fight the Holy Son. Why are you fighting me?"
The screams continued.
Until the next day.
The news of Lu Changsheng's enlightenment at Sword Mountain spread far and wide throughout the Central Province.
