Lu Yang Is My Best Brother; I'd Never Hurt Him!
When Lu Yang arrived at Meng Jingzhou's cave abode, before he even knocked, he heard Meng Jingzhou talking to someone inside.
"Impossible! Who am I, Meng Jingzhou? How could I let my brother suffer such a fate!"
"This is the master's order; if he wants to control Lu Yang, this is the only way."
"Go back and tell my father that this is impossible, and make him give up on that idea!"
"Don't mention my father to me. If he's so capable, let him come to the Ask Dao Sect, and I'll have my master beat him up!"
"Young Master... sigh..."
Seeing that he had no chance to persuade Meng Jingzhou, Xu You had no choice but to give up. He saw Lu Yang standing outside the door and was stunned for a moment.
He had seen Lu Yang's portrait long ago.
Lu Yang was also a little embarrassed. Although the two were discussing topics related to him, and it didn't seem to be anything bad about him, it was still awkward to run into each other directly.
The two nodded to each other and walked past without saying a word.
Upon entering the cave abode, Lu Yang saw Meng Jingzhou, who was furious.
"This is outrageous! Look at what kind of Evil Dao my dad is thinking!" Meng Jingzhou complained to Lu Yang. He usually thought about tricking Lu Yang, but when it mattered, he would definitely stand by Lu Yang's side.
Lu Yang was deeply moved. What a true brother! He pretended not to have been eavesdropping at the door and asked, "What was that just now...?"
"Xu You, I heard he used to be my father's study companion, and now he's been promoted to steward."
"He came to persuade you to go home?"
"They tried to persuade me at first, but after a couple of words they stopped, saying they had something important to discuss with me this time."
What is it?
"My father wanted to marry my sister to you, but I turned it down for you."
Lu Yang: "..."
He's truly my good brother.
"I remember your sister isn't old enough to start cultivating yet, is she?"
"An engagement, of course. Big Lineage love doing this, don't they? When I was a kid, didn't a bunch of people come to propose marriage to me? It's pretty much the same process."
"I guess my father intercepted the letter I wrote to my sister. He saw that I praised you in the letter as cunning, ruthless, and having the potential to surpass the Sect Master. He thinks you're a talented person and wants you to be his son-in-law."
"Steward Xu also sent word that since your master is the Silent Daoist and can't find a wife anyway, why not have him marry into our Meng family?"
"By the way, what did you want to see me about?"
"My third senior sister wrote to me, saying she wants me to go to the Demon Realm. I'm planning to go, do you want to come along?"
"Which third senior sister?"
"Third Senior Sister is so sweet."
Who is this?
Lu Yang then remembered that his third senior sister, Gan Tian, had not returned to the sect for a long time, and that she was a low-key person with few stories circulating in the sect.
"My master has four disciples. Besides my eldest sister, I have two more senior disciples: my second senior brother Ye Zijin and my third senior sister Gan Tian. One of them is in the Golden Buddha Kingdom, and the other is in the Southern Demon Realm."
Meng Jingzhou suddenly realized, and wagged his index finger. "I know your second senior brother, he's the one who ran away after forming his Nascent Soul Nascent Soul, and couldn't even defeat his own Nascent Soul!"
"... I hope you'll say the same thing when you see your second senior brother."
Xu You didn't go far. He sat down next to Old Ma, took out two wine gourds, one for himself and one for Old Ma.
He first downed half a gourdful, then said, "Brother Ma, it's been two years. How have you been at the Ask Dao Sect?"
"To be honest, I really envy you being able to work alongside the eldest young master. It must be so carefree. You know my brother's family; they're always causing trouble. Managing the entire Meng family is exhausting."
"As soon as I heard that my elder brother missed his son, I volunteered to come to the Ask Dao Sect. Regardless of whether the young master goes back or not, at least I can rest for a few days."
Old Ma glanced at Xu You, tilted his head back, bit down on the wine gourd, and drank half of it. Then he let go, and the gourd floated in mid-air.
"You really think following the young master is easy?"
Old Ma thought to himself, "What's so great about you being a housekeeper? Do you work as hard as I do?"
I brought the young master to the Ask Dao Sect, the young master called Yun Zhi into the carriage and asked if Yun Zhi was also there to participate in the test, saying he had the actual test questions.
It was pulling Yun Zhi along with extreme caution.
The young master went on a mission with Lu Yang. It was their first time working together, and they infiltrated the Immortal Sect and became its leader. Just when they were finally told they could return to their sect, Lu Yang, of all people, called out the Immortal Fairy's real name.
It watched helplessly as a High Antiquity immortal appeared in the world, and was almost scared to death.
Later, it took the young master to Qingzhou to participate in the grand ceremony. Halfway through the ceremony, two Great Yu Body Integration Realm cultivators and one Great Yu Tribulation Transcendence cultivator suddenly appeared. Fortunately, Yun Zhi intervened.
Later, it came to the desolate state, and wow, there were three people at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, one of whom was the Emperor of the Great Yu Dynasty. It was the one that pulled the souls of these three people back.
How could a mere demon king possibly handle such a matter?
Bring over the Meng family patriarch, and make him pull the cart? I'm not pulling it.
"If you think it's easier for me, we can switch."
This is a good opportunity to show you what a high-level cultivator is like. Don't think you're so great just because we're at the Body Integration Realm. If you're not at least at the Tribulation Transcendence Transcending Stage, you'd be embarrassed to go out with the young master.
Seeing the old horse grinning with ill intent, Xu You sobered up considerably and resolutely shook his head.
Suddenly, Old Ma asked, puzzled, "What did you do when you came to the Ask Dao Sect? Why did they come looking for you?"
"What are you doing?" Xu You didn't react at first.
A disciple guarding the mountain gate was seen giving directions to the Grand Elder.
"Elder, he's the one who bribed us. These are the storage rings he gave us."
Xu You: "..."
The Grand Elder smiled, just like Xu You, and asked with a grin, "Brother Xu, tell me, bribing a disciple of our sect is no small matter. Are you planning to have me report you to the authorities or keep you here at the Ask Dao Sect for a few days?"
As the eldest of the nine disciples of the Ask Dao Sect and the master of the Mission Hall, the Grand Elder is in charge of all intelligence within the Ask Dao Sect, and he is fully aware of the current Body Integration Realm.
The head of the Meng family, Demon King Lao Ma, and Xu You are sworn brothers. They traveled all over the country when they were young and had a very close relationship. Later, Xu You became the steward of the Meng family, while Lao Ma sometimes stayed at the Meng family and sometimes returned to his hometown in the East Sea.
"Let's go to the Ask Dao Sect." Xu You quickly made his decision.
Without saying a word, the Grand Elder took out the shackles he had prepared beforehand and put them on Xu You with a clang.
"Hey, you don't have to be so harsh."
The Grand Elder sneered repeatedly, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You just think being a steward is too tiring, and you want to take advantage of being captured to rest for a few more days in my Ask Dao Sect."
"Tell me the truth, and I'm willing to cooperate, but you insist on scheming like this... If we don't arrest you, who will we arrest! Come with me!"
Trying to outsmart him is impossible.
Xu You turned back to look at Old Ma in despair, only to see Old Ma's gloating expression.
At this moment, Meng Jingzhou pushed open the door and came out.
"Old Ma, Old Lu and I are going to the Demon Realm."
Old Ma's face turned ashen; he wanted to switch places with Xu You.
