The Loser Comes Calling, Seeking Allegiance? The Tragedy of a Concubine's Son

Just then, a figure appeared.

"Um?"

"Luo Futian?"

Liu Mu spotted Luo Futian at a glance and quickly stepped forward.

"Please allow me to greet you, gentlemen!"

Approaching, Liu Mu smiled and glanced at the Black Bear and Xuan Se.

Upon hearing this, the two great demons paid no attention and vanished in a flash, transforming into two streaks of light.

Then, Liu Mu turned his gaze and looked directly at Luo Futian, probing:

"What brings the Second Holy Son to Evergreen Peak?"

Luo Futian remained calm and coldly said:

"I want to see the Holy Son Changqing!"

Liu Mu nodded and replied:

"Please wait a moment, Second Holy Son!"

"I'll go and report it right away."

After saying this, Liu Mu left in a hurry without waiting for Luo Futian's reply.

Before long, the man arrived at Chen Changqing's residence on Evergreen Peak.

At this moment, Chen Changqing was lying on a deck chair in the yard, leisurely basking in the sun.

"Greetings, Holy Son!"

Liu Mu stepped forward and bowed deeply.

Chen Changqing narrowed his eyes and asked calmly:

"Elder Liu, what brings you here?"

Liu Mu didn't hesitate and quickly said:

"Holy Son, Luo Futian has arrived, requesting an audience with you!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Liu Mu's words, Chen Changqing was slightly surprised and secretly began to have doubts:

"Luo Futian?"

Why is he here?

"Could it be that he was defeated by me in the Holy Son Grand Competition and is still Qi Ingestion, so he's come looking for trouble?"

After a moment's thought, Chen Changqing pondered for a moment and then said:

"Bring him to me!"

"Yes, Holy Son!"

Liu Mu bowed in agreement, then hurriedly turned and left.

Before long, Luo Futian, led by Liu Mu, arrived at Chen Changqing's location.

Chen Changqing looked him over and recognized him at a glance.

Luo Futian's face appeared somewhat pale, and there was a faint medicinal aura emanating from his chest, indicating that his injuries had not yet healed.

Besides, the arrogance that had originally been in his expression had disappeared, replaced by a sense of depth and calm.

Before Luo Futian could speak, Chen Changqing asked first:

"What brings you here today, Luo Holy Son?"

Luo Futian did not reply immediately, but instead stared intently at Chen Changqing.

"Call!"

He gazed at the scene for a moment, took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes, and then spoke:

"The Holy Son Changqing."

"I, Luo, have come here today to... join Evergreen Peak!"

From this day forward, I pledge my allegiance to you!

As soon as Luo Futian uttered these words, Chen Changqing was immediately startled, and Liu Mu, who was standing next to him, was also taken aback by what Luo Futian said.

"Join Evergreen Peak?"

Chen Changqing muttered something in surprise and slowly sat up straight from the recliner.

What does "Luo Futian" mean?

"Giving up a perfectly good position as the Second Holy Son, you actually want to join my Evergreen Peak?"

What was he thinking?

Chen Changqing thought to himself, he really hadn't expected that Luo Futian's purpose in coming to Evergreen Peak was actually this.

It should be noted that although Luo Futian was defeated by him...

But no matter what, he is still the Second Holy Son of Mount Shu.

Moreover, he comes from the Luo Family, one of the Nine Great Families.

Such a person is naturally proud and arrogant.

But now, he's thinking of switching to his preferred option, which is quite a surprise!

While Chen Changqing was lost in thought, Luo Futian, who was standing to the side, appeared calm and composed, with little shame or indignation on his face.

He had previously lost to Chen Changqing, and deep down he was indeed extremely unwilling to accept it.

But after thinking it over carefully these past few days, he realized that defeat is defeat.

Chen Changqing is indeed far superior to him.

After much deliberation, Luo Futian finally made up his mind to become Chen Changqing's subordinate.

After a brief silence, Luo Futian spoke frankly:

"Good."

"In the cultivation world, the law of the jungle prevails, an age-old truth."

"It is only natural for the weak to rely on the strong."

"I, Luo Futian, can afford to lose, and I can take it all in stride."

"Of course, I was indeed Qi Ingestion with you after the Holy Son Grand Competition."

"But after thinking about it again, I realized that victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. If one cannot even accept a defeat with equanimity, then one's future achievements will likely be limited."

Upon hearing Luo Futian's words, Chen Changqing smiled slightly.

It was clear that Luo Futian was speaking from the heart, without any pretense.

For a time, Chen Changqing began to look at him in a different light.

At this moment, Luo Futian said again:

"Of course, that's only part of the reason I want to join your ranks."

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing was taken aback and quickly asked:

"What other reasons are there?"

Luo Futian was stunned, not in a hurry to reply to Chen Changqing, his expression filled with a complex and unreadable meaning.

After a moment of stunned silence, he let out a long sigh and then said in a low voice:

"The Holy Son Changqing."

"The person you see is the Second Holy Son of Mount Shu, born into the Luo Family, one of the Nine Great Families."

"It sounds like a glamorous life."

"But you don't like it. Among the Nine Great Families of the Luo Family, my Luo Futian... has a status as lowly as mud."

At this point, Luo Futian couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, revealing a mocking smile, before continuing:

"In the Luo Family, I am born out of wedlock; to put it bluntly, I was born to an unwanted concubine."

"If it weren't for the accidentally awakened Witch Clan Bloodline, I wouldn't even be as good as a talented dog in the Luo Family."

"As for resources? The core inheritance of the Lineage? They have never been my concern."

"I, Luo Futian, have come this far because of my battles in Mount Shu, and because the potential brought by my bloodline has been valued by the sect."

"Over the years, my burning desire to ascend to the position of the First Holy Son has been driven by a yearning to climb even higher on Mount Shu."

"It's not just about proving myself, but also about acquiring more resources and a higher status to fight against those Lineage who want to trample me underfoot and even try to separate me from their bloodline!"

At this point, a hint of cold hatred crept into Luo Futian's tone.

He never mentioned these words to anyone else.

If it weren't for the desire to join Chen Changqing's ranks, he wouldn't have revealed all this.

"Whoosh!"

After a slight pause, Luo Futian let out a long sigh, finally venting his resentment and unwillingness, and continued:

"That's exactly right, I need a powerful backer."

"At least until I truly mature, a powerful backer that the Luo Family will fear."

"Only by serving under such a being can I cultivate in peace, without worrying about being attacked from behind."

"My previous battle with the Holy Son truly made me realize that there's always someone better."

"It was you, Holy Son Changqing, who showed me the true gap, but also gave me hope."

Your potential far exceeds mine.

"Following you might bring me closer to my goal than struggling alone between Mount Shu and my Lineage."

After speaking, Luo Futian looked directly at Chen Changqing, his expression full of sincerity.

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing was taken aback.

"Depend on!"

Is it really that melodramatic?

He originally thought that someone like Luo Futian would be a core figure even within the Luo Family, one of the Nine Great Families.

Who would have thought that Luo Futian had such a background?
