The Danta Three Giants Change Their Attitude

Although Dan Chen was somewhat puzzled, she did not ask anything. She merely stood beside Lu Chuan and watched her three masters' unusual behavior.

Xuan Kongzi glanced at Tian Leizi beside him, then turned to Lu Chuan. "Lu Chuan, I just remembered that I have several Earth Tier Dou Techniques. They're only gathering dust in the storeroom, so take them back and cultivate them properly."

Tian Leizi hurriedly nodded upon hearing this. "Yes, yes, yes. I just remembered I have a few as well. I'll send them over to you later. Practice them well, and if there's anything you don't understand, come ask me anytime."

Lu Chuan was still rather surprised to hear them offering him Earth Tier Dou Techniques. He stared blankly at the two men.

Earth Tier Dou Techniques were considered quite precious even in the Danta. Normally, core disciples had to pass layers of assessments just to obtain one set, yet Tian Leizi and Xuan Kongzi were now saying they would give him several.

And they said it so casually, as if they were not giving him Earth Tier Dou Techniques at all, but worthless scraps.

Before Lu Chuan could react, Xuan Yi spoke as well. "I recently refined an eighth-tier medicinal pill. It can increase cultivation speed and strengthen one's soul power. I had intended to keep it for myself, but since you're here, I'll give it to you."

The moment Xuan Yi finished speaking, Lu Chuan was even more surprised. He had no idea what day it was today for all three elders to be trying so hard to please him.

Moreover, Xuan Yi wore a smile as she spoke, as though she were merely giving away an ordinary medicinal pill.

Seeing how friendly the three elders were toward Lu Chuan, Dan Chen, standing nearby, also became puzzled.

She had wanted to ask about it, but ultimately held herself back. When Xuan Kongzi pulled Lu Chuan aside to speak with him, Dan Chen quietly walked over to Tian Leizi.

"Master," Dan Chen called softly.

Looking at his disciple, Tian Leizi recalled the information on the Sky Screen and subconsciously asked, "What is it?"

"I want to ask you something."

When his disciple suddenly spoke up, Tian Leizi already had a bad feeling, but he still forced himself to say, "Go ahead."

"When I told you before that I wanted to marry Brother Lu Chuan, weren't you opposed to it?" Dan Chen looked into Tian Leizi's eyes, her face full of confusion. "You said then that Brother Lu Chuan's dantian was damaged and that he could not cultivate. You said I would only suffer hardship if I married him, and you advised me to think it over carefully."

"Why has your attitude toward him changed so much today?"

Tian Leizi was caught completely off guard by the question. He stood there with a dumbfounded expression for a long while, unable to say a word.

He could hardly tell Dan Chen that it was because the Sky Screen had revealed Lu Chuan to be a Nine-Star Peak Dou Saint, could he?

The thought made him panic inwardly. This disciple is really going to be the death of me.

Meanwhile, Dan Chen, still utterly bewildered, looked at her master with curiosity.

Tian Leizi gave several awkward laughs before saying, "Well... that was a misunderstanding before. I didn't understand the situation at the time, but now I've thought it through. Lu Chuan is actually quite a good lad."

"Although he has some difficulties with his cultivation right now, that isn't a problem. Our Danta has plenty of resources. We can slowly help him recover in the future."

"Besides, once he marries you, he'll be one of the Danta's people. As your master, I should treat both you and Lu Chuan better, shouldn't I?"

Even Tian Leizi himself found his words somewhat absurd as he spoke them. Forget anyone else—even he probably did not believe them.

After hearing her master's explanation, Dan Chen felt that something was off, but she could not pinpoint exactly what it was.

Noticing that Dan Chen did not seem very convinced, Tian Leizi hurriedly added, "In any case, rest assured. From now on, I'll treat Lu Chuan like my own son. I absolutely won't mistreat him."

"Just pretend you never heard what I said before. It was all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Why did this girl have to ask that now? This is far too awkward!

Why bring that up out of nowhere?

If Lu Chuan finds out that I privately opposed this marriage before and even looked down on him, how am I supposed to face a Nine-Star Peak Dou Saint in the future?

The thought even left Tian Leizi somewhat fearful. After all, that was a future Dou Saint powerhouse.

Although Dan Chen was still somewhat doubtful, Tian Leizi had already said as much, so she could not press him any further. She could only nod. "All right. Since Master says so, then I'm relieved."

However, Tian Leizi immediately changed the subject. "Go on, go on. You two just got married, so spend more time with Lu Chuan. Don't just stand around here talking."

After hearing her master's words, Dan Chen did not continue speaking.

Just then, Xuan Kongzi took out several scrolls of Earth Tier Dou Techniques and forcibly stuffed them into Lu Chuan's arms.

"Take them, take them. They're all good things. Go back and cultivate them properly."

Looking at the scrolls and medicinal pills crammed into his arms, Lu Chuan still wore a bewildered expression.

He could not understand why the Danta Three Giants had suddenly become so good to him. They had not exactly despised him before, but they had never been this enthusiastic either.

Did the sun rise in the west today?

But since they had already placed the gifts in his hands, he could hardly refuse them.

Thus, he could only accept them with a smile. "Then thank you, three masters."

Xuan Kongzi smiled and waved his hand. "No need to thank us, no need. If you need anything in the future, just speak up. The Danta may not have much else, but we have more than enough cultivation resources."

Xuan Yi beside him also nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes, yes. Just tell us whatever you need. Come find me anytime if you need medicinal pills or anything else."

Noticing the three elders' excessively enthusiastic attitude toward him today, Lu Chuan was also puzzled. Clearly, he knew nothing about the Sky Screen, nor did he know that his hidden strength had been exposed.

He glanced at Dan Chen beside him, and the two exchanged a look. It was obvious that Dan Chen was also confused.

The three elders were simply far too abnormal today.

Tian Leizi quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead as he stood nearby, muttering to himself inwardly.

After all, this man was a future Nine-Star Peak Dou Saint. There were only a handful of powerhouses on the entire continent who could reach such a level. He absolutely could not be offended lightly.

Not only could they not offend him, they had to build a good relationship with him. While he still had feelings for the Danta, they needed to strengthen their ties.

If his true identity was exposed one day, it would be too late to try currying favor with him then.

Thus, Tian Leizi was secretly making calculations, a broad smile plastered across his face.

By this time, Lu Chuan had already put away all the scrolls and medicinal pills. Xuan Kongzi pulled him aside again and said a few more words, nothing more than telling him to cultivate diligently, speak up if he encountered difficulties, and that the Danta's doors would always be open to him.

Although Lu Chuan had been rather confused by everything, he did not think too much about it.

After all, they were kindly giving him gifts, so he could not show any displeasure. He could only agree to everything one by one.

When they finally walked out of the main hall, Lu Chuan stood at the entrance with a huge pile of items in his arms and looked back.

Dan Chen stood beside him and softly said, "Brother Lu Chuan, don't you think Master was a little strange today?"

He nodded at her words. "He was indeed rather strange."

He then lowered his head to look at the Earth Tier Dou Technique scrolls and eighth-tier medicinal pill in his arms. He could not help feeling that these good things had come a little too easily.

But he could not figure it out now, so he could only keep them for the time being.

After the two of them left, the Danta Three Giants even watched them depart.

After a long while, Tian Leizi finally let out a long breath. He turned to look at Xuan Yi and Xuan Kongzi. The three exchanged glances and saw the same thought in one another's eyes.

At last, we've sent that great Buddha away!
