This Is Your Uncle Lu!

In Liu Jin's view, what other possibility could there be besides her master asking a man in the Eternal Realm if he had a dao companion?

Could it be that Master himself decided this?

Impossible!! Absolutely impossible!!!

He had followed his master in cultivation for so many years and had never seen his master show any affection to any man. The sect leader of the Nether Emperor Holy Sect Luo Qiushan, was known for her aloofness and coldness!

With her eyes only on cultivation and her sect, how could she suddenly develop feelings for a strange man, especially one at the Eternal Realm?!

Looking into her apprentice's thirst for knowledge, Luo Qiushan felt utterly helpless.

Why are you asking so many questions, kid! I can't exactly tell you I'm interested in him in front of a junior like you!

She gritted her teeth inwardly, but on the surface, she could only maintain the calm and composed demeanor of a sect leader, a faint smile playing on her lips. She neither admitted nor denied it, choosing instead to remain silent.

Silence is the best answer, but unfortunately Liu Jin didn't understand it at all.

In the midst of this awkward and confused standoff between master and apprentice, Lu Qing'an finally spoke.

He coughed lightly, his voice not loud, but it broke the subtle tension in the hall at just the right moment.

He gently placed the teacup back on the table, raised his eyes to look at Luo Qiushan, and said calmly and frankly, "Fellow Daoist, I will now formally answer your question. In fact, I already have dao companion, and we are deeply in love."

When he said this, his tone was not deliberately embellished or exaggerated; he was simply stating a fact.

But when he uttered the words "extraordinarily in love," they carried a warmth that no one else could imitate.

It's a kind of inner conviction and gentleness that can only be seen in truly happy people.

Luo Qiushan was stunned.

It was just a fleeting moment.

She has lived too long, long enough to remain unfazed in the face of any unexpected event.

The relieved smile on her face was almost an unconscious reaction; in that instant, she chose to end things in the most dignified way.

She smiled slightly, a smile that appeared poised and generous, even carrying a hint of genuine admiration. "That's right! With your talent and strength, what woman wouldn't like you?"

She said this so casually, as if she were sincerely praising Lu Qing'an's excellence, or as if she were lightly dismissing the inappropriate thoughts she had just had.

She knew in her heart that a man like Lu Qing'an, who had cultivated all three thousand kinds of rules to their extreme, could crush the Peak Great Dao Realm in the Eternal Realm. Such talent and strength were unmatched in the entire Hongmeng Holy Realm!

How could a man like that be alone?

It's perfectly normal for him to have a confidante and dao companion with whom he shares life and death.

Liu Jin stood to the side, his expression incredibly complex.

He first looked at Lu Qing'an.

The way this guy in the Eternal Realm dao companion— so open and honest—didn't seem like he was faking it.

Then look at your own master.

When Master said those words, there was a subtle bitterness in her tone. Although she hid it well, Liu Jin, who had been cultivating by her side for many years, was still perceptive enough to notice it!

Think again about the question Master just asked.

Fellow Daoist, you say you are Rogue Cultivator. May I ask, do dao companion?

And what Master just said, "Disciple, you've misunderstood"...

"Wait! Something's wrong! Something really wrong!! Did I make a mistake?!"

His brain raced, piecing together all the fragments, and a conclusion that left him speechless gradually emerged.

Master, are you trying to introduce me to him?! But this person is clearly only at the Eternal Realm! It's precisely because of this level of cultivation that I misunderstood just now!

In his mind, an Eternal Realm cultivator wasn't even worthy of a second glance from his master!

My master is Peak Great Dao Realm who has cultivated twenty Great Dao, the master of the Great Dao of Darkness, and one of the very top beings in the Hongmeng Holy Realm!

The guy in front of me is clearly only at the Eternal Realm. How could he be worthy of me? How could he possibly be someone Master has taken a liking to?

It was precisely because the other party's cultivation level was too low that he had assumed that his master wanted to set his junior sister up with someone!

Liu Jin felt like her mind was a little foggy.

Lu Qing'an took in the ever-changing expressions on Liu Jin's face, but paid it no mind. He picked up his teacup, took another sip, smiled faintly, and responded to Luo Qiushan's praise with a calm, unhurried reply, "Fellow Daoist flatters me."

Looking at his nonchalant demeanor and listening to his polite yet distant response, Luo Qiushan sighed silently in her heart, "He probably knows what I mean, but he still answered like that, which means he doesn't have any feelings for me yet."

Her gaze lingered on Lu Qing'an's calm face for a moment, a complex emotion welling up inside her—not a heart-wrenching disappointment, but a gentler, somewhat relieved clarity.

They had only known each other for less than half a day; she knew almost nothing about him, and he knew almost nothing about her. Under such circumstances, if he were to show enthusiasm because of a single sentence from her, it wouldn't be the composed and confident man she admired.

But the real key thought was another one that quietly surfaced in Luo Qiushan's mind, making her heart beat a little faster without her realizing it!

She quickly took a deep breath and caught the thought firmly, as if she had caught an answer that was already destined.

"It's actually normal! After all, we've only just met, and it's perfectly normal for a powerful man to have several women! With his irresistible charm, I'd be willing to share him with other women!"

Once the idea took shape, it was like a stone falling to the ground—heavy, yet incredibly reassuring.

Luo Qiushan has cultivated for countless years and has seen countless powerful figures. Which of those men standing at the very top of the Hongmeng Holy Realm didn't have a harem of wives and concubines, and countless beauties?

In this world where strength reigns supreme, the stronger a man is, the more women will surround him—this is an immutable Principle, and no one finds anything wrong with it.

Moreover, Lu Qing'an is a prodigy of his caliber. The strength he displayed today is enough to crush her, a peak expert who has cultivated twenty Great Dao, while he is only at the Eternal Realm!

How many women will admire, follow, and spend their lives with a man like this?!

Too many to count!

If she backs down because he already has dao companion, it only shows that her resolve is not strong enough!

Luo Qiushan's mind was racing, but her face remained expressionless.

She made her decision quickly.

A decision she had never made in her countless years of spiritual practice.

She shifted her gaze from Lu Qing'an and instead focused on her apprentice, who was still in shock.

"Let me introduce you." Luo Qiushan's voice regained the composure and authority befitting a sect leader. She slightly raised her hand, palm up, gesturing towards Lu Qing'an, her tone calm yet unquestionable. "This is your Uncle Lu, who has now joined our Nether Emperor Holy Sect. From now on, if your Uncle Lu has any instructions for you, consider them as my orders! You must listen carefully! Understand?!"
