Are You a Legitimate Reader?
"Just call me Changsheng; I am not worthy of the title 'Senior Brother'."
When Lu Changsheng spoke, he appeared very refined and approachable. Since the other party was a cultivator from the Eastern Land, and was one of the two peerless geniuses mentioned by the Exquisite Holy Lord, Lu Changsheng naturally seemed a bit distant.
"No, no, no, Senior Brother Changsheng, you don't know how much I admire you. Your saying, 'There are no weak Dao techniques in the world, only weak cultivators,' enlightened me. If you don't mind, Senior Brother Changsheng, you are half my mentor."
Wang Xuanji spoke up. He was actually quite extraordinary, with an ancient voice chanting scriptures within his body. This was an amazing phenomenon. Unfortunately, he was completely suppressed by Lu Changsheng. The two were like clouds and mud compared to each other.
At this point, Wang Xuanji bowed directly to Lu Changsheng.
Li Yunlong, oh no, I mean Li Rulong, also bowed to Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng was a little confused.
I can understand his worship, but what do you mean by yours?
"Senior Brother Changsheng, I admire you very much. I have even collected your poems. The reason I am attending this Heavenly Pride Gathering is for you. Senior Brother Changsheng, could you please sign your name for me?"
Li Rulong said excitedly, taking out a book of poems with a fervent look in his eyes.
The poetry collection is prominently titled "The Changsheng Poetry Collection".
Huh? Who wrote this? Did they pay any copyright fees?
Lu Changsheng could hardly believe that he actually had a collection of poems.
However, seeing how excited the other party was, Lu Changsheng found it difficult to refuse.
But soon, just as Lu Changsheng took the poetry collection, he suddenly stopped.
"Senior Brother Changsheng? What's wrong?"
Li Rulong asked curiously.
Looking at the poetry collection in front of him, Lu Changsheng's eyes were filled with doubt. He looked at Li Rulong and asked, "Are you a legitimate reader?"
Ha?
Li Rulong was a little confused, not knowing what "genuine" meant.
"Uh, so, did you spend any money?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
"Of course I bought it! Senior Brother Lu's poetry collection is selling extremely well in the Eastern Land. I only managed to buy it by pulling some strings."
Li Rulong was a little confused as to why Lu Changsheng was so concerned about this.
"Oh, that's alright then. Come here, Brother Li, let me sign this for you. If there's anything you don't like, please point it out. Since you're a legitimate reader, it's okay to criticize if it's not well written."
Lu Changsheng immediately smiled, as long as they were legitimate readers, there was nothing to worry about.
I'm afraid they're not legitimate readers.
Upon receiving the poetry collection, Lu Changsheng flipped through it and, upon seeing the publisher's name, 'Great Luo Holy Land,' on the last page, he immediately understood.
It turns out it was published by the Great Luo Holy Land, so it's fine then.
If it were an outsider, this matter would never be over.
"It's alright, it's alright! Come, come, Junior Brother Li, take this and feel free to ask if you have any questions."
Lu Changsheng said with a smile.
As an excellent poetry author, Lu Changsheng treats legitimate readers extremely well. After all, legitimate readers are not only handsome and well-mannered, but more importantly, they are all talented individuals.
Even if some are ugly, as the old saying goes, if you can pay to watch the original, how ugly can it be?
As for those who watch pirated content and those who watch free content, Lu Changsheng didn't know, but maybe a few of them were decent-looking.
But how cool can someone be if they only read pirated copies of books?
After receiving the autograph, Li Rulong was overjoyed and thanked the autographed item repeatedly, muttering to himself.
"Now Yao Mei should like this gift."
He muttered to himself.
This surprised Lu Changsheng.
Was it given to someone else?
So he's just a simp.
"Senior Brother Changsheng, I'd like to ask, is this Qilin?"
When Wang Xuanji spoke, his gaze finally fell on the Qilin.
Before Lu Changsheng could answer.
Gu Aotian spoke first.
"I am the Qilin Ancient Emperor!"
He was very confident, and his eyes were full of pride.
"The Qilin Ancient Emperor?"
Wang Xuanji and Li Rulong were instantly surprised, but they immediately bowed and said, "Junior greets the Qilin Ancient Emperor."
They were peerless geniuses, so naturally they could sense that the Qilin was very powerful, so it was not wrong for them to call themselves juniors.
"Kindness!"
Gu Aotian calmly replied with a single word, exuding a strong sense of awe.
"I never expected to see a living Qilin in this lifetime. Senior Brother Changsheng is truly extraordinary."
"Yes, Qilin. Since ancient times, there has never been a single one in the entire Immortal Cultivation World. I'm afraid there wasn't even one in Ancient Era."
Li Rulong couldn't help but sigh.
Just then, an annoyed voice slowly rang out.
"Hello! Hello! Hello!"
Why do you only see my third brother?
"I am the mighty Dragon Horse, and none of you even bother to praise me?"
"Don't I have any dignity left?"
Ryoma was enraged.
The two men stared intently at Lu Changsheng and Gu Aotian as they appeared, completely ignoring Longma.
Ryoma.
Brother.
Dragon Horse!
I'm a mythical beast too, not a common cabbage.
"Dragon Horse!"
"Hiss! I did indeed neglect you, senior. I hope you will forgive me."
Li Rulong and Wang Xuanji definitely overlooked Ma De Kuai.
The main reason is that Lu Changsheng's temperament is too extraordinary, coupled with the Black Yellow Qilin, so people will naturally subconsciously ignore the dragon horse.
It's like when you see the current emperor, the Crown Prince, and the eighth prince appear together, most of the attention will still be on the emperor and the Crown Prince.
One is the current emperor, and the other is the future emperor.
Naturally, the Eighth Prince would be overlooked.
"No need to call me senior, just call me Dragon Horse Supreme! I see that you two have good aptitude, would you like me to teach you some Dao techniques? Don't be too polite, just give me some Spirit Stone, treasures, and elixirs, not too much, just keep some for yourself."
Longma said this, his gaze fixed on the two people's storage Law Treasure.
"It is possible, but I did not bring any treasures Spirit Stone with me. After all, Senior Brother Lu once said that money is just an external thing and should not be valued."
Wang Xuanji said this.
"Senior, I do have some, but everything inside was bought for Yao Mei, so I can't bear to part with it. Why don't you pass it on first, and I'll prepare a gift for you when I get back?"
Li Rulong said this.
For a moment, Ma De Kuai stopped talking, stood aside, too lazy to pay attention to the two of them, and was very heartless.
The scene was a little awkward, but Wang Xuanji spoke up.
"Senior Brother Lu, are we heading to the Heavenly Pride Gathering?"
He asked curiously.
"Kindness."
Lu Changsheng nodded.
"Why don't we go together?"
Wang Xuanji asked.
Lu Changsheng was about to agree, but suddenly, the dragon horse sent him a Divine Sense message, telling Lu Changsheng not to agree yet.
Despite his doubts, Lu Changsheng still followed Longma's lead.
"No need for that. I have some things to attend to. You two Junior Brother can go ahead first."
"Alright, in that case, Senior Brother Lu, we'll head over there first."
Wang Xuanji didn't think anything of it, she just nodded and left.
Indeed, he also thought that if he went with Lu Changsheng, he would probably be overshadowed by Lu Changsheng.
Although he didn't care, he didn't insist that Lu Changsheng come along since he didn't plan to.
"Senior Brother Lu, I'll head over first then. We'll have a few drinks together at the grand event."
Li Rulong said this.
"Good!"
Lu Changsheng nodded.
The two bowed again and then disappeared into the horizon, heading towards the Bright Moon Ancient City.
After an incense stick has burned.
Longma couldn't help but speak.
"Big brother, third brother, this Wang Xuanji is hiding a treasure."
Ha?
Lu Changsheng never expected that Longma's instruction not to travel with him meant this.
"I noticed it too, and that thing doesn't belong to this world."
Gu Aotian nodded in agreement.
At that moment, Longma continued to speak.
"How about the three of us brothers sneak up on him?"
He suggested.
"It's not impossible, brother, what do you think?"
Gu Aotian pondered for a moment and said.
"Uh, that might not be a good idea. Should we wait until the event is over?"
Isn't it a bit inappropriate to suddenly strike someone in the dark?
At the very least, we should wait until the Heavenly Pride Gathering is over before discussing this, right?
"Alright! Old Ma, keep a close eye on him and don't let him get away."
Gu Aotian spoke.
"Alright! Don't worry! He can't escape my watchful eye."
Ryoma nodded seriously.
