How Did This Kid Get So Clever?
Liang Juntian, and then suddenly had a brilliant idea.
The Eternal Night Demon Emperor has already cast a special Devil Cultivation Method on him. If he is to be punished later, and he appears here now to help Li Feiyu, is there a possibility that the Eternal Night Demon Emperor might spare his life because of this act?
Anyway, helping Li Feiyu won't affect their plans!
As soon as the idea came to him, he took immediate action.
Zhao Hanfeng, Li Feiyu, and the others were somewhat surprised to see Liang Juntian step forward and stand on their side.
They weren't particularly close to Liang Juntian.
The white-robed elder and the black-robed elder's expressions instantly turned ugly when they saw Liang Juntian standing on Li Feiyu's side.
Damn it!!!
"Fellow Daoist Liang, I advise you not to get involved!" the black-robed elder said in a deep voice.
"What if I insist on getting involved?" Liang Juntian said domineeringly.
I may fear the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, but do you think I fear you?!
What a bunch of trash!
I could easily crush two of you!
The two elders at the Peak Great Emperor Realm gritted their teeth.
With Liang Juntian involved and Zhao Hanfeng and his group also present, they had no chance of winning!
"Ahem! Excuse me, I suddenly had a brain fart and rambled on a bit. I'll take my leave now!" A Great Emperor Realm expert who had just stepped forward quickly turned and left.
"Oh dear! I forgot my wife is about to give birth at home! I have to hurry back! Goodbye!" A powerful Great Emperor Realm expert without a wife turned and left.
"That's right! My mother is getting married tonight!"
"..."
One after another, powerful Great Emperor Realm fled the area rapidly.
It was as if, if they walked fast enough, the words they had just spoken wouldn't catch up with them.
But they all knew that after today, they had a new layer of enmity with both the Zhao Household and Li Household.
But there was nothing they could do; the Dao-Devouring Mystic Lotus was simply too tempting. Even if Liang Juntian hadn't appeared, they would still have stepped forward.
The two elders at the Peak Great Emperor Realm gritted their teeth, having no other choice, and with a flick of their sleeves, turned and left.
Not long after.
The sky here has quieted down.
Zhao Hanfeng looked at Liang Juntian and said, "Fellow Daoist Liang, thank you."
"Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing. Alright, I'm leaving now! You guys continue."
After saying that, Liang Juntian flew away into the distance, thinking to himself, "Eternal Night Demon Emperor, you should be around here."
If you were here and saw this, and you ever try to mess with me again, don't make things too difficult for me...
After everyone left, Li Feiyu took a deep breath and began to use the Dao-Devouring Mystic Lotus.
A moment later, his cultivation level surged wildly, finally settling at the Late Great Emperor Realm!!!
He glanced in the direction of the Demon Domain, his heart filled with gratitude.
Xuanyu, Brother Qing'an, I owe everything I have today to you!
On the other side of the Immortal Ruins.
Lu Zhengran quietly waited in the main hall behind his mother's seclusion on the mountain, patiently awaiting her return.
He sat quietly, resting his chin on his hands, thinking about how he should tell his mother everything he knew after she came out of seclusion, in a way that would be acceptable to her and wouldn't shatter her Dao heart.
Just as he was pondering for a long time but still couldn't come up with a satisfactory answer, a figure appeared in front of the main hall.
The person who arrived was a white-haired woman.
Upon seeing who it was, Lu Zhengran frowned slightly.
The person who arrived was none other than Lin Qingxue!
Xu Qingying hadn't finished her seclusion yet. The reason she came here wasn't to find Xu Qingying, but to personally persuade Lu Zhengran Lu Zhengran to return to the Demon Domain!
When Lu Zhengran saw Lin Qingxue arrive, if it were in the past, he might have thought that his mother was about to emerge from seclusion, so Lin Qingxue had come early to wait for him. But now, seeing Lin Qingxue, his first thought was that Lin Qingxue had come to find him.
He had already concluded that Lin Qingxue was definitely involved in his trip to the Demon Domain, and that she had probably conspired with Liang Juntian to trick him into going there.
And they were convinced he would stay there.
Thinking of this, he quietly looked at Lin Qingxue without saying a word or greeting her.
Lin Qingxue Lu Zhengran seemed not to have seen her, sitting quietly with his eyes narrowed into slits.
This kid, what happened? He went to the Demon Domain and came back with a completely different aura.
Does he look less stupid than before?
"Zhengran, you're back?" Lin Qingxue's expression changed as she approached, a seemingly gentle smile appearing on her face.
Lu Zhengran said, "I just got back not long ago, and of course I had to ask for your help, otherwise I probably wouldn't have been able to make it to the Demon Domain."
Hearing Lu Zhengran's sarcastic words, Lin Qingxue felt even more that this kid had changed.
Who taught you to be sarcastic and unsettling?
"I suppose you already know what we did from your teacher, but don't think we have bad intentions. We're all doing this for your own good, and also for your mother's good." Lin Qingxue moved closer to Lu Zhengran and sat Lu Zhengran next to him.
If it were back then, Lu Zhengran wouldn't have done anything. But now, he felt aversion towards Lin Qingxue and decisively moved away from Lin Qingxue.
"He's no longer my teacher. As for what you said later, it makes me want to laugh. You kept it from me and my mother, all for our own good? Senior, in your eyes, am I still just an ignorant child who can be easily deceived?"
Lu Zhengran was very angry.
Lin Qingxue not only lied to him, but also planned to act first and inform his mother later.
From beginning to end, Lin Qingxue and Liang Juntian's plan was that he would go to the Demon Domain, see how good the conditions were there, and then not come back.
After his mother emerges from seclusion, she discovers that her son is gone and will not return. She will inevitably find out that her ex-husband is the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, unless Lin Qingxue has a way to completely conceal this fact.
However, the probability of it being concealed is extremely low.
Unless Lin Qingxue uses some means to trap his mother!
So the more he thought about it, the more he realized that things were not simple!
Seeing Lu Zhengran's increasingly serious expression, Lin Qingxue couldn't help but frown.
This brat! Is he Lu Zhengran?!
Why does she feel like I've become so much more shrewd?!
Has it dawned on you?!
Why aren't they so easy to fool anymore?!
"Zhengran, hey, there are some things we don't mean to hide, but we feel it's unnecessary to put too much pressure on you to make choices. You need to know, we're doing this for your own good, and we've never intended to hurt you. You should know that; if we wanted to hurt you, we would have done it already."
Lin Qingxue delivered a superb performance, her expression appearing extremely sincere, as if it were truly so.
Lu Zhengran, on the other hand, had been deceived too many times by his father and Xiao Qingyi in the Demon Domain. They all lied through their teeth, their faces showing no sign of deception. They even spoke in a way that was perfectly reasonable.
Having had this experience, he now harbors suspicion towards anyone, no matter how sincere their feelings or how flawless they may seem.
Regardless, Lin Qingxue and Liang Juntian deceived him, and they even kept it from his mother.
This is something that cannot be changed.
He trusts no one anymore.
but.
"Alright, I forgive you, senior. If you have nothing else to say, please go back. I want to cultivate in peace and quiet, and wait for my mother to finish her seclusion." He didn't believe it, but he didn't want to dwell on the matter any longer, otherwise it would never end.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxue said, "I came here today to discuss something with you. Why don't you go back to the Demon Domain? Consider it for your mother's sake."
