What a Coincidence
"Oh? Tell me more about the Xu Household." Lu Qing'an was secretly pleased.
This isn't a coincidence; we really are on the same continent.
Then many things will be much easier to handle!
"You..." Li Wensong almost couldn't help but ask Lu Qing'an why he was asking this, but after what had happened before, he decisively stopped himself from having such thoughts. He held back and then began to explain what he knew about the Xu Household, as Lu Qing'an had asked.
"The reason why the Xu Household has become one of the top Lineage on the Heavenly Fall Continent is because their patriarch is a Sovereign Realm expert, and he also has an excellent relationship with a Rogue Cultivator who is at the Peak Sovereign Realm like me. With the support of two Sovereign Realm experts, the Xu Household has stood firm on the Heavenly Fall Continent for many years."
"The head of the Xu Household family is named Xu Huan. He has three sons and one daughter. His eldest son is Xu Sheng, who has a son, Xu Yi, whom Brother Lu just mentioned. His second son, Xu Man, had some conflicts with the Xu Household and suddenly left home many years ago, never to return. His third son Xu Long, who has a daughter named Xu Jiaojiao. His youngest daughter, Xu Ying, has no children and is unmarried..."
Li Wensong spoke in great detail, recounting almost everything he knew about the Xu Household.
After Li Wensong stopped, Lu Qing'an continued, "Tell me in detail about that second son Xu Man."
My former father-in-law was originally named Xu Man.
Did they have a conflict with the Xu Household?
So, it's highly likely that Xu Yi's request for Xu Xuanyu and his child to return to the Xu Household wasn't for anything good, but rather a way to trick Xu Man into coming back?
He knew things weren't that simple.
Li Wensong looked slightly embarrassed. "Brother Lu, I'm not particularly interested in the Xu Household. I'm a Rogue Cultivator, usually traveling around or in seclusion, and I don't have much interaction with the Xu Household. So I've only heard about some things that happened to Xu Household somewhere. I really don't know why Xu Man had a conflict with the Xu Household. It seems to be related to his wife. Of course, if you want to know more about the situation, I can send a message back there and have someone inquire about it!"
To be honest, he was really curious why Lu Qing'an asked these questions.
The Xu Household is just a top Lineage on the Seven Heavens Continent. Their strongest member is only at the Early Sovereign Realm. It is said that he will break through to the Middle Sovereign Realm soon. But a person at the Middle Sovereign Realm is just so-so to him, a Peak Sovereign Realm expert.
This made him even more curious as to why Lu Qing'an, who might be at the Eternal Realm, would ask him such a question.
They have absolutely no connection whatsoever!
Lu Qing'an said, "Then you should inquire more about it. The second thing I asked you to do is related to them."
Li Wensong seemed slightly surprised.
Is this related to the Xu Household???
"Alright! I'll do as you say!" Li Wensong thought to himself that if it really was related to the Xu Household, things wouldn't be difficult at all.
The Xu Household isn't a particularly powerful Lineage. If something is done that would harm the Xu Household, he only has two things to consider: the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Fall Continent and the old man who, like him, is at the Peak Sovereign Realm.
He no longer cares about the Heavenly Dao there. Besides, his strength is slightly stronger than that old man's. After all, he is already at the Peak Sovereign Realm Great Perfection, and his cultivation and strength are very solid.
"As for what I'll be asking you to do next, it's all related to the Xu Household. You should find out about the Xu Household's situation first. In general, it won't be difficult for you," Lu Qing'an said.
Upon hearing this, Li Wensong's eyes lit up.
So, those three things are indeed not difficult!
"Okay! I'll do my best to handle what you asked me to do, and I'll be troubling you then!" Li Wensong said earnestly.
Lu Qing'an nodded slightly.
"If there's nothing else, I'm going back. Dan Yun, you two have a good chat, and come find me when you're done." Lu Qing'an stood up, preparing to leave.
Sometimes, saying too much can actually expose your true colors.
I'll use Li Wensong to help me get some things done.
Even if it gets exposed someday, it won't be a loss!
Dan Yun nodded.
With the two watching him go, Lu Qing'an vanished in a flash, returning to the Eternal Night Continent.
After Lu Qing'an left, Li Wensong breathed a long sigh of relief.
"It really does resemble the Eternal Realm!"
But it's not in terms of strength that they're similar.
Rather, it gives the impression of being like...!
Especially the tone of voice, the way you dominate people, and how you perceive them!
To be honest, if it were him, as Peak Sovereign Realm, it would be extremely difficult for him to show the same attitude as Lu Qing'an when trying to deceive a fellow peak Peak Sovereign Realm.
He could sense that Lu Qing'an was genuinely unafraid of him and felt he could manipulate him at will, which was why he could speak and treat him that way!
To achieve this level of deception, one would need to reach an extremely high level—to even deceive oneself!
"Senior, have you confirmed that my master is indeed in the Eternal Realm?" Dan Yun asked.
Li Wensong shook his head. "It's not completely certain yet, there's no direct evidence to prove he is him, but I understand how you feel now."
"My feelings?" Dan Yun blinked.
"It's that feeling of not being completely sure, but just wanting to believe it's him..." Li Wensong gave an awkward smile.
He had clearly given up on breaking through to the Eternal Realm when he arrived here, but unexpectedly, Lu Qing'an rekindled his hope with just a few words.
And they'd take a gamble on it.
In order to reach the Eternal Realm and become one of the strongest beings in the Nine Directions and Ten Domains, even if he was deceived and worked for nothing, the effort was still worthwhile.
If he bets right, he'll be rich!
"Actually, I'm a little different from you. I've already received benefits from my master. I've already reached the Fourth Heaven Continent level, and I'm still improving rapidly! Really, there's still a bit of cultivation that my master transferred to me that I haven't fully refined yet!"
Even Peak Sovereign Realm expert wouldn't be so generous in transferring their cultivation!
Unless transferring cultivation points could be returned, making the person stronger, who would do such a thing?
Oh, there's another possibility: he has too much cultivation, and since cultivation is going to be wasted anyway, he might as well just lose it to her.
Of course, neither of these possibilities is possible.
It can only be said that their cultivation level is too high, so they don't care about using even a little bit.
"If the other two of the three things he mentioned are really related to the Xu Household, then I can certainly do it. We'll just have to see what happens then!" Li Wensong took a deep breath and prepared to begin carrying out the tasks he already knew about.
"Alright! Senior, why don't you go ahead with your work? Or shall we chat some more?" Dan Yun said with a smile.
"Let's finish our business first! We'll have plenty of time to get together later," Li Wensong said with a smile.
"OK!"
Li Wensong felt a little regretful as he prepared to leave.
He couldn't find strong evidence to prove that Lu Qing'an possessed the strength of the Eternal Realm. If he had such evidence, he would have been more efficient and motivated in his work.
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly stopped and looked in one direction.
Dan Yun did the same, looking in one direction.
Over there, an aura of the Late Undying Realm was approaching with overwhelming force, crossing the sky towards this direction.
"Dan Yun, is this place coming for you? Have you offended anyone at the Late Undying Realm?" Li Wensong asked suspiciously.
Dan Yun shook her head. "I just broke through to the Fourth Heaven, and my cultivation is still only at the Creation Realm. I would never offend someone with such a cultivation level."
