Day After Day, This Was Probably What They Called Learning to Get Along

In fact, it might actually increase the risk.

Back then, he was threatened with the lives of his family members.

The countdown, the threat—he didn't move.

The other party actually attacked, and one person died, but he didn't retaliate.

Two, three... a whole bunch died, but he still didn't move.

The death of a loved one certainly causes heartache and anger, but it is not oneself who dies.

If he doesn't die, he might be able to avenge them.

I died, and they died too; it all meant nothing.

If I were to die while they were still alive, then it would be even more meaningless.

Of course, this is a rare occurrence; he did not choose to take direct action.

As for why he preferred to take direct action later on, regardless of the consequences, it was actually because of this.

In the end, even after all that, a small mishap still occurred.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Elder Hua stepped in.

It must be said that Elder Hua's strength is indeed formidable.

It was from that moment that he realized he had such a powerful trump card.

Now, the other party's words have brought these memories back to me.

It's still a bit disheartening.

If Elder Hua hadn't kept quiet about his strength earlier, those relatives wouldn't have died in vain.

Of course, the main risk right now is that Qin Jiuxiao might also choose not to come back, hide away, or simply not know about this matter at all.

If the other party chooses to bide their time and doesn't show themselves, although they might not become a threat, the thought of not being able to kill them is still disgusting.

"Other methods would be much more troublesome and would likely take some time," Luo Zhen said.

Qin Han looked over:

" In Central Province, at the Myriad Laws Academy, for the Dharma Hearing Gathering, do you think he will attend?"

Luo Zhen was slightly taken aback upon hearing this:

What is that?

Qin Han explained briefly, and after listening, Luo Zhen decisively said:

He'll definitely go!

"He's always loved the limelight. He was like that back when I was still in the Eastern Region, and he's been even more so since we arrived at the Cloud Heaven Holy Land. He went to the Holy Water event, and he'll definitely be there for such an important event Dharma Hearing Gathering."

"Moreover, you could very well find him in places where there are many women back then!"

Qin Han nodded:

"Okay, then you'll stay by my side from now on. You're more familiar with him, so keep an eye out for him."

Luo Zhen readily agreed, secretly delighted.

I didn't expect to achieve my goal so easily.

Although it wasn't someone above the Saint King who was willing to protect him, the other party was still the best-performing genius in the Holy Water region. The fact that the Xiang Clan extended an olive branch to him indicated that he was likely to rise to prominence in the future.

By establishing a good relationship early on, I can benefit from the other party's growth.

Hidden Origin Peak.

A figure flashed, Liang Si appeared.

"The environment of your Hidden Origin Peak is really no worse than where those old guys stay, it's just a bit more tranquil."

Liang Si's voice rang out.

Lu Changzhi stood up and smiled:

"Ancestor Liang has arrived. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Nothing serious, just finished up with recent tasks."

As Liang Si spoke, he sat down on a stone bench and said:

"How did you get that Black Dragon?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi smiled and said:

"He ran into the secret realm on his own, and I just happened to subdue him. So, is there something wrong with this Black Dragon?"

"There's nothing too serious about it." Liang Si shook his head.

"It's just that this Black Dragon seems a bit dim-witted. I suspect its dragon brain might be an original creation, or perhaps it just didn't develop properly."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi nodded in deep agreement.

If the Black Dragon had been more cooperative back then, and had worked odd jobs as a mount on Hidden Origin Peak for a few years, the matter of chasing Mu Fan would have been over.

"Will this have any impact on the ancestor's arrangements?" Lu Changzhi asked.

"No, aside from double-checking a few times out of concern, it actually made things easier for the arrangements," Liang Si waved his hand, offering a brief explanation.

After listening, Lu Changzhi finally understood why his ancestor had asked that question.

It turned out that the Black Dragon was too easily fooled. It believed Black Dragon Xiang Clan people of Central Province who were torturing it, without any doubt. This made the ancestor somewhat unsure, and he repeatedly confirmed it several times.

In addition, other things were mentioned, such as a large pile of treasure-like fruits that he forgot to eat, and the human who kept sticking small hard sticks into its dragon tail that he forgot to look for, all because of that damned egg-shaking bird of the Xiang Clan.

After hearing all this, Lu Changzhi's expression remained somewhat strange and wistful.

"Mu Fan hadn't been back for days, but suddenly he came back. Could it be because he and this Black Dragon have some kind of telepathic connection?"

Lu Changzhi couldn't help but think to himself.

It's really hard not to make those connections.

How wonderful! Black Dragon misses Mu Fan, and Mu Fan misses Black Dragon too.

Day by day, this is probably what they call the adjustment period.

Meanwhile, Mu Fan, who was resting peacefully elsewhere, suddenly sneezed violently for no apparent reason, his body trembled, and goosebumps rose on his arms.

"Oh, right."

Liang Si looked over and asked:

"After entering the Saint Realm, how has your cultivation level and strength improved? Have you encountered any problems in your cultivation?"

"Practice?"

Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment, then said:

"After the breakthrough, I didn't cultivate much, and my progress in realm advancement was still slow."

Liang Si nodded:

"After reaching the Saint Realm, further advancement in cultivation is inherently difficult, and it cannot be compared to the level before the Saint Realm. There's no need to rush. Compared to advancing in cultivation, the most important thing is..."

As they were talking, Liang Si suddenly changed his mind, raising his voice, and said:

"After reaching the Saint Realm, how many times did you break through?"

The abrupt shift to a question, phrased in a relatively unfamiliar way, startled Lu Changzhi slightly. He then instinctively replied:

"Twice."

"Two breakthroughs, Saint Realm Third Layer —considering the time, you're not slow at all." Liang Si gave Lu Changzhi a deep look.

Even the most outstanding talents from outside the Land of the Four Directions don't necessarily have such a breakthrough speed.

This kid actually thought it was a bit slow.

Lu Changzhi was both amused and exasperated. "Ancestor, why are you so easily startled?"

Liang Si smiled:

"If I ask you a serious question, you might not even tell the truth."

Lu Changzhi couldn't help but shake his head. "You are the patriarch of the sect, how can I not tell you the truth?"

"That's not necessarily true." Liang Si looked outside.

"Back then, there was an old guy from my generation who claimed to have been injured in a fierce battle, leaving him with a chronic illness that weakened his strength. He tried countless elixirs and methods but couldn't cure it. Several skilled healers both openly and secretly tried to help him find a way to recover, but there was no improvement. Eventually, everyone felt sorry for him."

Upon hearing Liang Si's explanation, Lu Changzhi immediately grasped the gist of the matter and asked:

"And then it turns out it was fake?"

"Yes."

Liang Si nodded:

"Deceiving the heavens and crossing the sea for a thousand years, cheating his master and ancestors until his coffin was closed, resting in peace for three hundred years, when the coffin was lifted and his cudgel shocked the heavens."
