Requirements and Shi Qingning's Decision

He Mingkong's words left everyone instantly stunned. Even Lu Chuan felt his heart stir at them.

He had to admit that the conditions He Mingkong had offered were truly generous.

On top of the previous signing benefits, he had even thrown in a high-grade bone tempering method and an organ forging method—temptations that no martial artist could refuse.

"Old He, your talent for drawing big pies in the sky is truly consummate!"

Right at that moment, Chen Qingfeng suddenly spoke up with a chuckle. "I believe you have a high-grade bone tempering method, but a high-grade organ forging method? That's not certain!

Of course, Kunlun Mountain certainly has one.

Yet can you represent Kunlun Mountain? They certainly value Younger Sister Lu, but they might not value Young Brother Lu..."

"Kunlun Mountain is an Immortal Dao sect. They do have martial dao inheritances, but not an excessive amount."

At this time, Shi Qingning suddenly spoke in a deep voice. "High-grade organ forging methods will definitely not be plentiful, and there might not even be one suitable for you, Lu Chuan.

However, our Suspended Mirror Division is different. Our Suspended Mirror Division is subordinate to the Great Xia official authorities.

And the Demon Suppressing Division is likewise subordinate to the Great Xia official authorities.

If you let your sister enter my Suspended Mirror Division, I can have Chen Qingfeng recommend you into the Demon Suppressing Division. The Demon Suppressing Division specializes in the martial dao, and its inheritances are rich.

Let alone a high-grade organ forging method, even methods to break through the limits of martial artists and step past the realm of martial masters are not impossible..."

"No, Fairy Qingning, everything in this world has an order of precedence!" He Mingkong's expression instantly darkened.

A genius with high spiritual aptitude—once he recommended her to enter Kunlun Mountain, that would be a massive merit.

He would also receive rewards from Kunlun Mountain, and using this opportunity to make further progress was not even out of the question.

Therefore, this was not only a great opportunity for Lu Wangshu, but it was likewise a great opportunity for him. Naturally, he had to fight for it.

Even though Shi Qingning was a person from the Great Xia Suspended Mirror Division, he could no longer worry about offending her.

"Hmph... What order of precedence? I only know that the capable come first..."

Shi Qingning said coldly, "If you're unhappy with it, you can offer a higher price. As long as you can outbid me, naturally I won't say any more."

"I..."

He Mingkong was instantly left speechless.

He wanted to refute her, but the problem was that he had no grounds to do so.

Shi Qingning was a member of the Suspended Mirror Division, and her status and position were surely not low; she could make decisions on her own for many matters.

Yet he was different. To put it bluntly, he could not even be considered a formal disciple of Kunlun Mountain.

He simply couldn't make the decisions for many things, so naturally, it was impossible for him to offer Lu Chuan a higher stake.

Otherwise, once he failed to deliver, the trouble would be enormous.

However, if he were to just concede defeat like this, he would definitely not agree to it.

"The two of you, actually you don't need to fight over this. If my younger sister says she doesn't want to go, then I absolutely will not let a single person take her away."

Just at that moment, Lu Chuan suddenly spoke up. His gaze swept across the two of them, and he uttered those words in a deep voice.

"Brother..."

Lu Wangshu, who was being held tightly in Lu Chuan's arms, wore a nervous expression all over her face and spoke in a soft voice. Her timid appearance made people's hearts well up with pity.

"Don't worry, your brother is here."

Lu Chuan stroked Lu Wangshu's head, a trace of steadfastness flashing through his eyes. Then he looked at the two of them—He Mingkong and Shi Qingning—and said in a deep voice, "The two of you, if you truly value my younger sister, you can have the forces behind you send someone to be stationed in Fengle City to teach her.

After she gets a bit older, she can make her next step of a decision. How about that?

After all, even when it comes to cultivating immortality, given my sister's age, I'm afraid she is only laying the foundation anyway!

That foundation can be laid anywhere, can't it?"

As soon as Lu Chuan said this, both Shi Qingning and He Mingkong's eyes lit up. Only the corners of Chen Qingfeng's mouth turned up, revealing a hint of an ambiguous smile as he looked at Lu Chuan with an unconcerned expression.

He had already seen through Lu Chuan's little schemes.

Inwardly, he thought to himself: This brat Lu Chuan is truly crafty enough. Doing this not only doesn't delay his sister's cultivation, but he can even find a free bodyguard for her—it's simply killing two birds with one stone!

However, he is destined to be disappointed.

Whether it's Kunlun Mountain or the Suspended Mirror Division, they both have their own rules. It is absolutely impossible for them to make such a decision just because of any single person...

"Lu Chuan, the Kunlun Mountain cannot possibly agree to this demand of yours."

Sure enough, He Mingkong directly offered a bitter smile. "It's true that your sister possesses high spiritual aptitude, but she is still not worth Kunlun Mountain breaking its rules."

"Understood!"

Lu Chuan smiled and nodded, then cast his gaze onto Shi Qingning before speaking in a deep voice, "Miss Shi, what about you? Is your answer the same as Senior He's?"

"No, I can agree to it."

Shi Qingning, however, shook her head slightly and said, "If your sister can take me as her master, I can be stationed in Fengle City and personally teach her.

However, that's only until she turns fifteen. After she turns fifteen, she must follow me to the Suspended Mirror Division.

And... if it's like this, then the condition of recommending you into the Demon Suppressing Division will also be canceled..."

"No problem!"

Lu Chuan agreed without a moment's hesitation, because he knew very well that this was the best outcome.

It would allow his younger sister to stay by their mother's and his side until she was fifteen. By that time, when she was a little older, her mindset would also be much more mature, and going to the Suspended Mirror Division then would be much better.

As for not being able to enter the Demon Suppressing Division because of this, Lu Chuan didn't care about that at all.

If he couldn't enter the Demon Suppressing Division, didn't they still have the Kunlun Martial Arts School?

He didn't believe that He Mingkong wouldn't want him.

What was more, he had the attribute panel on him; his future martial dao cultivation would only get faster and faster, and it wasn't like he couldn't carve out a path of his own.

It wasn't strictly necessary to enter the Demon Suppressing Division to make something of oneself.

Of course, if he could enter the Demon Suppressing Division by virtue of his own strength, that would be best of all.

It seemed he needed to find some time to thoroughly question Chen Qingfeng about it.

A flurry of thoughts flashed through the bottom of Lu Chuan's heart.

"Good, this way is actually the best. It counts as a win-win—no, it should be a three-way win..." Right at this moment, Chen Qingfeng suddenly laughed. He looked at He Mingkong, who was wearing a wry smile, and said, "Senior He, stop wearing such a gloomy face.

Little Sister Lu going to Kunlun Mountain might not necessarily be a good thing.

Besides, haven't you also signed Young Brother Lu? With Young Brother Lu's talent, his future prospects are boundless.

In the future, your Kunlun Martial Arts School even has a high likelihood of taking things a step further by using this opportunity—it's not out of the question.

Or is it that you, Senior He, never planned to sign Young Brother Lu, and were just deliberately tricking him earlier?"

"You little punk Chen, you don't need to use such aggressive tactics on me. Things that this old man agrees to—naturally, I will fulfill them."

He Mingkong let out a cold snort, then looked at Lu Chuan and said, "Lu Chuan, although you didn't let your younger sister enter Kunlun Mountain, the contract between you and my Kunlun Martial Arts School will not be affected.

The conditions I promised you before remain unchanged.

If you have time, tomorrow you can head over to the Kunlun Martial Arts School and formally sign the contract with this old man. In the future, you'll be a member of my Kunlun Martial Arts School..."
