Chapter 1078 - 381: Real Person, Please Stand Up for Me!_2
Yun Wanshang’s red lips parted slightly, inquiringly.
“Thank you for your concern, elder. I encountered an assassination attempt on my way here, but it’s nothing serious. I apologize for making you wait.”
Lu Changsheng said, his voice sounding somewhat breathless.
After speaking, he coughed and quickly added, “Please rest assured, elder, my current state won’t affect my cultivation.”
“Assassination?”
Yun Wanshang’s beautiful eyes were like a clear, bottomless pond, as she looked deeply at Lu Changsheng.
Then, with a gentle lift of her hand, Lu Changsheng’s vision darkened, and he was suddenly unable to move.
“Damn, is this woman so cold and heartless!?”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself in silence, having come to aid her in her cultivation in such a state, yet she did not show more concern?
At the very least, she could ask what kind of assassination attempt he encountered, whether it was dangerous or not.
Such a heartless woman lifting her skirts!
However, Lu Changsheng secretly contemplated, perhaps he was overacting.
After all, he didn’t really go hard on himself.
Just made it look like his mana was in disarray, consumed excessively, without any obvious injuries.
A sweet, fragrant elixir medicine entered his mouth, followed by rustling sounds.
Under the enchanting, rich fragrance, Lu Changsheng’s blood raced, and his body responded truthfully.
Moments later, a warm, soft jade body attacked him, and he was ridden upon.
“Circulate your energy!”
A cool and pleasant voice resonated.
Lu Changsheng, feeling aggrieved, began to practice the Sun Moon Samsara Technique.
…
Afterward!
Afterward!
Afterward!
Lu Changsheng looked at the storage bag beside the pillow and let out a deep sigh.
Damn it, one day, he would make her recognize that his junior brother’s might was unrivaled.
Then in a low voice, he asked, “Elder, may I ask how long you plan to cultivate here…”
“Three months.”
Yun Wanshang’s voice rang out, clear and cool as jewels.
“Three months…”
Hearing this, Lu Changsheng wondered whether he should continue acting.
He could pretend that the assassination indicated potential danger at home, that he was worried about his household’s safety, and wanted to return home quickly to take charge.
If the matter was resolved and he was still alive, he would come back to help her with cultivation.
But wouldn’t that be a bit too fake?
Just then, Yun Wanshang’s voice arose, “What’s this about an assassination?”
“Hmm? Is she willing to help after the fact?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng felt delighted and contemplated how to phrase his story to sound more pitiful and tragic.
“Speak directly, or don’t speak at all.”
Yun Wanshang’s voice was cold, like a deep, tranquil pond.
As a Nascent Soul Immortal, the master of the Qingyun Sect’s Enforcement Hall, she might be naive and indecisive in matters of emotion, lacking decisiveness.
But in other respects, she was no fool.
She could see through Lu Changsheng’s minor tricks at a glance.
Seeing that he obviously wanted her to know and help but deliberately shied away, waiting for her to ask proactively, she intentionally refrained from asking.
Now that he hinted at her through inquiring about the duration, she didn’t want to beat around the bush.
“Elder, it was the Beast Taming Xu Family.”
Lu Changsheng immediately said.
Since she took the initiative to ask, it meant she was willing to help, so he would not hesitate.
Regarding the matter of killing Xu Ge, Lu Changsheng did not consider it a big deal to reveal it to Yun Wanshang.
After all, she had helped with Lady Meng’s matter before, showing great regard for their relationship.
Of course, it could also be for Xiao Xiyue’s sake, or perhaps because he had once saved Chu Qingyi.
“The Beast Taming Xu Family?”
Yun Wanshang’s brows furrowed slightly.
In her view, the Beast Taming Xu Family should have no direct feud with Lu Changsheng.
Why would they go out of their way to assassinate Lu Changsheng?
“That person is Xu Ge, the False Core Patriarch of the Beast Taming Xu Family. For some reason, he took notice of me and laid an ambush outside Bihu Lake to kill me. If it weren’t for my hidden skills…”
Lu Changsheng spoke in a low and aggrieved voice, as though telling a parent that he had been bullied at school.
“Xu Family’s Xu Ge?”
Yun Wanshang was familiar with this person.
In his earlier years, he was also a genius of the Xu Family, with the potential for Core Formation.
But, after his life-bound beast was killed by a true inheritor of the Spirit Taming Sect, his Dao foundation was damaged, and he never recovered.
Later, he mysteriously broke through to False Core.
Due to this experience, Xu Ge became profoundly affected by the harshness of the world, his psyche distorted, taking pleasure in bullying the weak and hunting talented cultivators.
For someone like Lu Changsheng to catch Xu Ge’s attention was quite normal.
“This person likes to hunt talented cultivators. You’ve been too high-profile these years, and without any backing, so it’s normal for him to take notice.”
“I will have someone warn him afterward. He won’t dare to move against you again.”
Yun Wanshang spoke calmly and coolly, her voice carrying an invisible but heart-shaking authority.
In her view, Lu Changsheng was also one of her own.
So, if one is to beat a dog, they must watch the owner!
Moreover, should anything happen to Lu Changsheng, her opportunity at reaching Nascent Soul would be gone.
This Xu Ge causing trouble for Lu Changsheng was simply courting death!
“But facing his assassination, I had no choice but to rely on a talisman formation to kill him…”
Lu Changsheng said somewhat shyly.
“?”
Yun Wanshang was startled and somewhat puzzled, wondering if she had heard wrong.
Kill Xu Ge?
A Foundation Establishment Cultivator defeating a False Core Immortal?
She knew that Lu Changsheng had a great fortune, a big secret, concealed his cultivation level, and his power was far beyond his peers.
But she had never expected Lu Changsheng to actually kill a False Core Immortal!
And considering that Lu Changsheng had only suffered excessive consumption and mana disarray without any real injury beforehand.
This was astonishing, very astonishing!
After a moment of silence, her voice detachedly stated, “If he is dead, then he is dead.”
“But I heard that, years ago, when a False Core Patriarch of the Xu Family was killed by the Five Elements Royal Family, the Family Patriarch brought two Third-Order Spirit Beasts to the Five Elements Royal Family.”
