You Do the Bluffing, I'll Put on the Act

Despite her inner turmoil about Li Wensong, Chen Lingling showed no outward change. Instead, she took Li Wensong Li Wensong's words to heart and decided to do as he said to see if Li Wensong Li Muchen was truly as he described.

Even a Peak Eternal Realm expert is just a pawn!

"Okay! I'll listen to you, but don't blame me if I say anything wrong." Chen Lingling said seriously.

Li Wensong laughed it off, "Say whatever you want, relax."

In his mind, everything was under Lu Qing'an's control. What Chen Lingling said and did after meeting Lu Qing'an would also be under his control. So what did he have to worry about? Chen Lingling could say whatever she wanted.

In reality, what appears to be Chen Lingling Chen Lingling's choice is actually something she has no say in at all!

Thinking of this, he smiled, a smile that looked extremely mysterious.

"Alright, let's set off!" Li Wensong stood up, looked at Lianxin, and gestured for Lianxin to teleport them directly.

"Let's go!" Chen Lingling took a deep breath.

I want to see if this Brother Lu you speak of is truly Peak Eternal Realm expert who has mastered the Rule of Cause and Effect!

If so, then everything is a good thing!

If not, well, then don't blame me for being blunt upfront!

On the other side.

In a quiet courtyard on the Eternal Night Continent.

It was already evening.

Lu Qing'an and Xue Tianfei sat in the stone pavilion, drinking tea and watching the last rays of the setting sun.

The courtyard at dusk

As the setting sun cast its slanting rays, the stone pavilion was bathed in a layer of orange-red, and the aroma of tea filled the cool air.

The shadows of the Wutong leaves are dappled, and occasionally a returning bird flies past the eaves.

Xue Tianfei leaned on Lu Qing'an's shoulder, her fingertips casually fiddling with his clothes, her hair tinged with the warm hues of the sunset.

Lu Qing'an was toying with something in his hand, which was the Realm-Stabilizing Stele Realm-Stabilizing Stele, emitting a faint starlight.

In the distance, wisps of smoke rise from chimneys, while in this corner, only the warmth of clasped hands and the soft tinkling of wind chimes can be heard.

"This Realm-Stabilizing Stele is indeed quite impressive. With this thing, even someone at the Early Eternal Realm has absolutely no impact on this continent."

Lu Qing'an had already extracted the cultivation level of the Early Eternal Realm. After his cultivation reached the Early Eternal Realm, he felt as if he had been immersed in an endless energy.

A small star field was born within the sea of consciousness, within which various rules could be evolved and used.

However, these rules are not so easy to evolve.

However, after studying it for a while, he discovered something strange.

Xue Tianfei: "You too, what do you need so many Realm-Stabilizing Stele for, Guan Qian Xiuzhu? It cost the Chamber of Commerce a lot of money."

Hearing these words, which sounded like a reproach but were actually very gentle, Lu Qing'an smiled and said, "I didn't expect them to bring in so many pieces."

He was clearly just trying to act tough; instead of asking for one piece, he said he wanted several.

In his mind, a few yuan would be at most three, four, or five yuan, and even a difference of one or two yuan would still count as a few yuan.

Unexpectedly, the Qian Xiuzhu brothers, for reasons unknown, somehow managed to get him fifteen yuan!

What use does he need so many Realm-Stabilizing Stele?

He was stunned at the time, but given the enthusiastic manner of Qian Xiuzhu and Qian Mingjing, as if giving him more than ten Realm-Stabilizing Stele would bring him many underlings, he had no choice but to accept.

He had finished his research and found that these Realm-Stabilizing Stele could not be used in combination. In other words, before the Eternal Night Continent was upgraded to the Eighth Heaven, he could only enter the Eternal Night Continent with the cultivation level of the Early Eternal Realm. If he had more cultivation, using two Realm-Stabilizing Stele would be useless.

Unless a more special and advanced Realm-Stabilizing Stele is found, but Realm-Stabilizing Stele of this level are almost impossible to buy.

Lu Qing'an suddenly laughed and said, "Why don't you take it and sell it secretly? Don't tell those two brothers. Use the money to secretly develop some businesses."

Xue Tianfei laughed and said, "That's so immoral! Just keep it, I'll find a way to earn it back."

Lu Qing'an was at a loss; he'd just have to see if he could use it later.

Perhaps Li Wensong could help him recruit even more followers in the Eternal Realm.

We might need it then.

Just as he was thinking this, the two of them looked up together and gazed outwards.

"They've arrived so quickly?" Lu Qing'an sensed the aura of an unfamiliar Mid Eternal Realm expert. If he wasn't mistaken, it should be Chen Lingling whom Li Wensong had gone to see.

Moreover, Lianxin and others are accompanying Chen Lingling.

Xue Tianfei asked, "Is it Chen Lingling?"

Lu Qing'an nodded. "I don't know if Li Wensong can fool Chen Lingling. Xue'er, you go ahead and do your work. I'll pretend for a while."

Xue Tianfei smiled and nodded. She had some matters to attend to at the Chamber of Commerce.

And so, Lu Qing'an was left alone in the courtyard.

Before long, Li Wensong and the others also appeared in the sky above the courtyard.

Chen Lingling and Lianxin were both at the Mid Eternal Realm, and could not enter the continent in their physical bodies; only their consciousnesses entered the continent.

Lu Qing'an looked up and glanced at Chen Lingling, who was following Li Wensong and the others.

"She does look exactly like the portrait, but her temperament is a bit different from what I imagined." Lu Qing'an thought to himself. This Chen Lingling had a cold demeanor, and she didn't seem like someone who was so easily fooled.

He must be a knowledgeable and experienced Mid Eternal Realm expert.

"However, that old Li Wensong is no simpleton. Letting Li Wensong Chen Lingling Chen Lingling first might allow Li Wensong to already have her under my thumb. If Chen Lingling becomes my subordinate, then I'll be in for a lot of trouble!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qing'an felt a sense of anticipation.

Before long, Li Wensong led Chen Lingling and the others to land in the stone pavilion.

"Brother Lu! We're back!" Li Wensong greeted Lu Qing'an with a beaming smile.

Lianxin, Qian Xiuzhu, and the others greeted Lu Qing'an, some calling him "Master" and others "Senior."

Lu Qing'an smiled and nodded, then looked at Chen Lingling with an extremely calm gaze.

When Chen Lingling appeared in the sky above the courtyard, she had already spotted Lu Qing'an and immediately began to observe Lu Qing'an carefully.

"The cultivation aura of the Early Eternal Realm! Wasn't it supposed to be the Peak Eternal Realm? Is the cultivation level a disguise? Is it because the levels on this continent are limited, that they used a special ability to keep their cultivation at this level?"

After thinking this through, Chen Lingling took a deep breath and gave Lu Qing'an a junior's bow.

"Junior Chen Lingling greets Senior!"

Regardless of whether Lu Qing'an's story is true or not, let's assume it is!

This allows for both offense and defense!

When Lu Qing'an saw Chen Lingling greet him so politely, calling him "senior," a slight smile appeared on his lips. He glanced at Li Wensong, his eyes full of admiration.

Li Wensong Li Wensong, it seems you've fooled another Mid Eternal Realm cultivator!
