Seeing his father so calm, Lu Fusheng felt a sigh of relief.

After all, he knew that his father doted on his little girl to the bone. If there were truly any danger, his father would have already taken the girl and fled.

"Father, I heard from Zhining that the Senior had slain a Void Immortal Expert. Do you know who this Senior is? Such a powerful individual shouldn't be unknown in Qingzhou," Lu Fusheng asked Lu Wuhen.

"It cannot be said, it cannot be said. You only need to know that with this gentleman, Zhining's future achievements will not be lower than your father's," Lu Wuhen said with a smile.

"Hiss!" Lu Fusheng gasped in shock.

"Tomorrow, the little girl will take the gentleman to our Jiang City's lantern festival. I presume the Golden Sun Holy Lord will appear then," Lu Wuhen said, stroking his beard and pondering for a moment. He then smiled again, "But there's no need to worry. As long as Mr. Li is here, no one will likely be able to lay a hand on the little girl."

"Alright," Lu Fusheng replied, though he still felt uneasy.

If the Great Sun Sacred Body and the Taiyin Body cultivated together, they could indeed advance side by side.

But the Young Sect Master of the Golden Sun Sacred Sect only possessed the Fire Spirit Body.

Although this physique was not bad, and cultivating with the Taiyin Body could lead to the Great Sun Sacred Body, it would essentially be the Fire Spirit Body exploiting the Taiyin Body.

In that case, his precious daughter's cultivation path would be ruined.

Time passed quickly, and it was soon the evening of the next day.

Li Zhōujūn, led by Lu Zhining, also headed towards the riverside in Jiang City.

At this moment, countless people had gathered by the river.

Among them were numerous young talents and young ladies from noble families.

There were also countless children, holding river lanterns in their hands, their faces beaming with smiles.

They released their lanterns into the river, and the countless river lanterns illuminated the water, making it glow brightly.

"Master, look, this is our Jiang City's lantern festival," Lu Zhining introduced to Li Zhōujūn.

"Indeed, it's very lively," Li Zhōujūn nodded.

"Miss Lu, long time no see." At this moment, a young man in a blue robe embroidered with peach blossoms, holding a folding fan, with a greasy head and a powdered face, suddenly appeared before Li Zhōujūn and the two disciples.

"He Fayang, I don't have time to deal with you today. If you know what's good for you, get lost." Lu Zhining's expression soured upon seeing the newcomer.

This young man named He Fayang was the youngest son of the He family patriarch in Jiang City. Although his cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, anyone with discerning eyes could see that his aura was unstable, clearly achieved through medicinal pills.

Not only that, but despite his heavy reliance on pills, he was a notorious figure in Jiang City, a frequent guest at various brothels.

The reason he lived so freely was because his family's Old Ancestor was a Great Cultivator in the Spirit Transformation stage.

Furthermore, his elder brother had joined the Dao Tian Sect a few years ago and had become a True Disciple of a Mountain Lord. It could be said that for most cultivators, this guy was a genuine second-generation cultivator.

And this He Fayang had been pursuing Lu Zhining for some time.

Lu Zhining was completely uninterested in him, so naturally, she wouldn't give him a good look.

"Miss Lu, if you say that, I'll be heartbroken. In Jiang City, we are both from prestigious families, a perfect match. If you and I were to become husband and wife, it would be a powerful alliance!" He Fayang said excitedly.

Li Zhōujūn watched the scene unfold with a smile, saying nothing. He could certainly step in and help Lu Zhining drive this guy away, but he couldn't always help her, could he?

Some things, she had to face and resolve herself to grow.

However, just as He Fayang finished speaking.

A proud young voice rang out: "He family of Jiang City? What a joke!"

"You're asking for death!"

Upon hearing someone openly insulting his family, He Fayang was instantly enraged.

But when he turned around and saw that the speaker was a young man in a golden robe embroidered with three Golden Crows, his expression instantly changed. He recognized this young man as the Young Sect Master of the Golden Sun Sacred Sect, Yunyang.

Beside Yunyang stood a stern-faced middle-aged man, also in a golden robe, but embroidered with nine Golden Crows.

Just standing there, this middle-aged man exuded an extremely powerful oppressive aura.

If He Fayang guessed correctly, this must be the Golden Sun Holy Lord of the Golden Sun Sacred Sect, Yun Lietian, a Great Cultivator in the Integration Stage!

Thinking of this, He Fayang immediately put on a fawning smile: "So it's the Holy Lord and Young Sect Master Yun. I was blind and offended you both just now, I hope you will forgive me..."

"Scram." Yunyang had no intention of listening to this guy's nonsense and spat out a single word.

He Fayang's face turned green and then white.

He, He Fayang, was someone who commanded respect wherever he went in Jiang City, yet today he was publicly humiliated. But He Fayang was indeed a scion of a great family; he restrained himself, bowed, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I will leave now."

With that, He Fayang turned and fled without looking back.

"Useless trash." Yunyang sneered as he watched He Fayang escape.

Then, his gaze turned to Lu Zhining and he said, "You are Lu Zhining, right?"

"I am. Thank you, Young Sect Master, for your help," Lu Zhining said.

Clearly, she also recognized this young man as the Young Sect Master of the Golden Sun Sacred Sect.

"You're welcome. I heard you have the Taiyin Body. If you don't have any objections, would you be willing to become my cultivation partner? My father will propose to your Lu family today." Although Yunyang was asking Lu Zhining, his tone was unquestionable.

Lu Zhining felt speechless.

She had just escaped from the wolf's den only to fall into the tiger's lair.

"Little girl, come back to the Golden Sun Sacred Sect with us today. When you become my son's wife, our Golden Sun Sacred Sect will certainly not treat you unfairly," the Golden Sun Holy Lord said at this moment.

He asked Lu Zhining with a smile.

Li Zhōujūn frowned slightly upon seeing this scene.

Because he could tell that this arrogant-looking young man possessed the Fire Spirit Body, and his desire to become Lu Zhining's cultivation partner was purely to treat her as a cultivation cauldron to exploit.

Thinking of this, Li Zhōujūn was instantly displeased. He slowly spoke, "You two have very clever plans, but I advise you to put away your petty schemes and scram."

"Who are you to speak to this Young Sect Master like this? Don't you want your worthless life?" Yunyang, upon hearing Li Zhōujūn disregard him so completely, immediately flew into a rage.

"I am Lu Zhining's Master," Li Zhōujūn said with a cold chuckle.
