Sun Minzi saw Zhang Ya and the others looking at Lu Zixuan as if she were a fraud, she shook her head.

She witnessed that scene with her own eyes that day.

It really does match Zhang Ya's description quite well!

"Haha, A Hua, see that? A guy who's full of lies. Are you sure you want to be friends with someone like that?" Zhang Ya seemed to have caught Lu Zixuan red-handed. She turned to look at Murong Hua, her words seemingly True Intention, as if she was afraid that Murong Hua would be deceived.

Murong Hua also looked slightly embarrassed at this moment.

Zixuan, you're really a bit...

"What, you think I'm lying? Then how do you think we got these two swords?" Lu Zixuan retorted.

"You must have been lucky enough to obtain some top-grade refining materials and begged Senior Wang Duanshan to forge it! Hmph, no matter what your reasons were for obtaining this treasured sword, it cannot wash away the fact that you are full of lies!" Zhang Ya said in a deep voice.

Lu Zixuan shrugged. "Think what you want. Maybe this is what they mean by 'different paths lead to different goals. 'A Hua, do you believe me?"

She only cared about what Murong Hua thought.

She actually wanted to integrate into Zhang Ya's circle, after all, her father had said to make as many friends as possible.

It seems unnecessary now.

Murong Hua didn't know how to answer. She was still a little skeptical, so she changed the subject, saying, "Let's not talk about this anymore. The court session is in session. Let's go inside."

"No! There's still some time before we leave! Let's chat a little longer!"

Zhang Ya had finally found an opportunity to let Murong Hua see Lu Zixuan's true colors, so how could she give it up? Instead of talking about Wang Duanshan giving her the sword, she could talk about Lu Zixuan trying to embellish her image by calling Wang Duanshan "Grandpa Wang."

"You just said you weren't very familiar with Senior Wang Duanshan, that you'd only met him a few times, and yet you called Grandpa Wang. Can't you give a more satisfactory explanation?"

Murong Hua frowned.

She's feeling a bit uncomfortable with Zhang Ya's behavior now.

Why make things so difficult for them?

"Because my dad is very familiar with Grandpa Wang," Lu Zixuan replied calmly.

"Really? Who's your father?" Zhang Ya asked with a sneer.

That's Wang Duanshan!

In the entire Demon Domain, he doesn't give face to anyone!

Even if it were their dean or the Demon Emperor Dugu who sought Wang Duanshan's help in refining weapons, they would not be willing to help unless they offered Wang Duanshan satisfactory conditions!

Moreover, she had never heard of Wang Duanshan being close to anyone!

Wang Duanshan was known for his dislike of communicating with others.

Lu Zixuan was about to blurt out that her father was the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, but then she remembered something and held back.

Her father told her that while at the academy, unless something particularly important happened, she should try not to mention that she was the daughter of the Eternal Night Demon Emperor.

At the time, she didn't know why, but Sun Minzi gave her the answer.

It turns out that her father killed many powerful figures in the Demon Domain Realm, and many of these powerful figures had descendants who survived.

These people naturally can't get revenge on her father, but once they know she's the daughter of the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, they might try to find a way to harm her.

Lu Zixuan glanced at everyone present, unsure if any of Zhang Ya's elders had been killed by her father. After a moment's hesitation, she replied, "My father was also Rogue Cultivator; you've never heard of him."

"So, Senior Wang Duanshan is actually on very good terms with a Rogue Cultivator? That's hilarious! You don't even know what Senior Wang Duanshan's temperament is like! Yet you're spouting such nonsense! How shameless!"

Zhang Ya laughed, which immediately made the women behind her laugh as well.

Murong Hua became increasingly embarrassed.

Lu Zixuan: "What's Grandpa Wang's temper like?"

"Senior Wang Duanshan only cares about forging weapons. He has devoted his entire life to it and has no friends! In his eyes, nothing but forging weapons. He has no sense of human relationships whatsoever, and it is extremely difficult for others to get along with him! Even when my father went to him for help with forging weapons, he was turned away with a cold face because he didn't bring out enough forging materials that would impress the old man! You say your father is friends with him? That's utterly ridiculous!"

Zhang Ya looked at Lu Zixuan as if she were a clown.

Lu Zixuan said, "You probably haven't even met him in person. I think Grandpa Wang is a very nice person, with a kind smile and a very good attitude."

Upon hearing this, Sun Minzi forced an awkward smile.

Zixuan, what she said earlier was indeed incorrect, but this statement is true: Senior Wang Duanshan is a very strange person. He only appears kind when he's with your father and the rest of you...

Zhang Ya laughed even louder when she heard Lu Zixuan's words.

Murong Hua couldn't bear to watch any longer and said with a wry smile, "Zixuan, stop talking, the court session is about to begin..."

"Fine, since you don't believe me, I'm too lazy to prove anything. The sword is in my hand; just let your imaginations run wild."

Lu Zixuan didn't care what Zhang Ya and the others thought. After speaking, she looked at Murong Hua and said, "A Hua, my father asked me to take you home for a meal. Do you have time after school?"

She probably knew what her father was thinking; he likely wanted to see if her new friend was a good person.

In her opinion, Murong Hua was a very good person and worth developing into a close friend.

Murong Hua was taken aback.

"Want to eat?"

Lu Zixuan nodded.

"I do have time, but why does your father want to see me?" Murong Hua asked, puzzled.

"I don't have many friends in this Demon Domain. Minzi is one, and you're the second. He simply wants to meet my friends."

"Alright, I can go." Murong Hua didn't refuse. The Demon Willow Academy conducts detailed investigations into the family circumstances of all its students, so she only needed to inform her father beforehand.

Moreover, she possesses an extremely powerful protective artifact, which would allow her father to arrive quickly if her life were threatened.

"A Hua, how could you go home with someone you've only known for a short time?!" Zhang Ya quickly stopped her.

"I believe in Zixuan," Murong Hua said.

"Then take me with you!" Zhang Ya said.

"We'll join you!" the other women quickly chimed in.

They were all already curious about Lu Zixuan's family.

There was another idea, especially from Zhang Ya, who wanted to use this opportunity to expose Lu Zixuan's lies!

Lu Zixuan glanced at Zhang Ya and the others, thinking that bringing more people back wouldn't be a problem, but she still had to ask her father.

I'll ask my father telepathically.

She took out a Sound Transmission Jade Slip, asked a question, and received an affirmative answer.

"My dad said it's okay."

Her father was clearly surprised when he heard the news.

He even asked her how she made so many friends.

"Okay! It's a deal!" Zhang Ya said, gazing intently at Lu Zixuan.

Little girl, just you wait and see. I'm going to see what's going on with your dad!

You're just a Rogue Cultivator, you must have heard of my father's name. I'll mention my father's name to him and see his expression!

At the same time, in the courtyard.

Lu Qing'an put away the Sound Transmission Jade Slip, a smile playing on his lips.

Wang Duanshan and He Hong were sitting in front of Lu Qing'an. Seeing Lu Qing'an's rare smile, Wang Duanshan asked with a smile, "What's wrong? What good news has happened?"

Lu Qing'an smiled and said, "Zixuan said she was bringing a group of friends back for dinner. I didn't expect her to be so good at getting along with people. She's only been a few days and she's already met so many people. She's even more socially adept than me, her father."

He doesn't have many friends in the Demon Domain; almost all of them are the kind of friends he made by playing against other players in the game.

"Oh? Then I'll have to give Zixuan's friend a small gift." Wang Duanshan said with a smile.

He returned to the courtyard this time because he and He Hong had completed the task that Lu Qing'an had given them.

All the treasures have been crafted!

Looking at the various treasures the two had placed on the table, Lu Qing'an said, "The weapons and armor we forged this time are quite good. We'll equip the children with them when they return."

Just as he finished speaking, Lu Qing'an's gaze fell upon a suit of armor he had specially customized for his eldest daughter, which had some slightly asymmetrical parts.

"Old Wang, this isn't right. You need to go back and fix it right away. It needs to be perfectly symmetrical, otherwise my daughter will feel uncomfortable wearing it."

"Wow! You noticed that too? You're such a perceptive father. Okay, I'll get right on it!"
