Chapter 899: Chapter 325: Apology, Beast Taming Xu Family!_2

“`

However, cultivators like Ling Zixiao, who knew the inside story, roughly guessed the Jin Family’s purpose.

They wanted to both promote and kill, to completely eliminate Lu Changsheng and Bi Lake Mountain, to lift it high and solidify the rumors from the outside world!

Even if they couldn’t solidify the rumors, considering today’s events, the external interest in Bi Lake Mountain would likely rise another level.

“Lu Mountain Lord, regarding the previous matter at White Tiger Mountain, I, Jin Zan, was wrong. Greed took over me because of the benefits given by the Zhao Family, and I ask for your forgiveness,” Jin Zan said, suppressing the rage in his heart as he bowed to Lu Changsheng.

If it weren’t for the Family Patriarch’s emergence from seclusion and the severe reprimand he had received.

With his proud nature, he would never have lowered his face to apologize.

But he understood that the Patriarch was doing this for his own good.

His smooth journey thus far had led to arrogance.

The defeat at the hands of Lu Changsheng was a hurdle he couldn’t get over, affecting his Core Formation!

If that was the case, he could only face his inner self, break and then stand, in order for him to break through his mental state and reach Core Formation!

And through this method, he wanted to reclaim his Life-Bound Spiritual Artifact from Lu Changsheng’s hands.

Otherwise, without this Life-Bound Spiritual Artifact, his chances of breaking through to Core Formation in the future would be affected.

Lu Changsheng watched the scene, staying silent.

He roughly knew what the Jin Family’s purpose was.

The rumors about him in the outside world likely originated from the Jin Family.

Now, by presenting him with this Core Formation Spiritual Object, they probably wanted to further uplift his status and solidify the rumors.

And inform the outside world that he, Lu Changsheng, possessed a Core Formation Spiritual Object, making him the target of other Loose Cultivators and Family Forces!

Then there was Jin Zan’s apology.

As long as he accepted it and took away the opponent’s Life-bound Spiritual Artifact, he would naturally have to return it.

In such a situation, with such a stance, if he, Mr. Lu, did not reconcile and return the Spiritual Artifact, it would make him appear petty and vindictive, not giving face to the Jin Family.

Not even giving face to the False Core Patriarch, what would other families think if they knew?

Other False Core Families might think Lu Changsheng to be arrogant and presumptuous!

A stratagem in the open!

This was a blatant stratagem!

Such bold moves in this stratagem were indeed extraordinary.

Actually spending a Core Formation Spiritual Object, just to make Jin Zan apologize in person.

Unless… they thought he wouldn’t dare accept the Core Formation Spiritual Object and were showing weakness?

But faced with such an arrangement, even if he didn’t accept it, the opponent’s genuine appearance of apology meant he had to return the Life-bound Spiritual Artifact.

“Indeed, the old ginger is spicier. The Ancestor of Jin Family is using this method to further push our Bi Lake Mountain into the limelight and by doing so, draw attention to Golden Dragon Ridge,” Lu Changsheng muttered to himself.

If his family had been an ordinary Foundation Establishment Family, they might indeed be worried in such a situation.

But when he made his move on Jin Zan, he had already considered the consequences!

What if his tree attracted the wind?

If anyone dared to look for trouble, he would, like he did when facing Jin Zan, make an example of them—kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, and solidify his reputation for defeating a False Core with Talisman Formations!

After all, sometimes a reputation isn’t entirely a bad thing.

With such a reputation, it would be enough to deter the other families and prevent them from harboring bad intentions.

His early reputation worried him that it might attract the covetousness of others.

But now, with his current reputation, how many would dare to covet it?

Enough to deter most of the petty thieves, and allow the Family to develop securely!

Moreover, his family was strong but not overbearing, and by developing securely, they could also show the dignity and style of the family, laying the foundation for future reputation and goodwill!

“Heh heh, the Ancestor of Jin Family is being too courteous. It was all a misunderstanding; once explained, it’s all clear.”

“Originally, I, Lu Someone, was going to visit you after taking care of the affairs to clear things up. I didn’t expect that the Ancestor of Jin Family would take the initiative to come here. You truly are a man of openness and magnanimity,” Lu Changsheng said politely.

In his words, he naturally placed the ‘Profound Water Cold Crystal’ into his Storage Ring.

Then he took out a golden weapon—part spear, part dao—and spoke: “Daoist Jin left in a hurry that day, forgetting to take this Artifact. Today, it shall be returned to its original owner!”

Since the opponent had done so, he, Lu Changsheng, would openly tell others that he not only defeated Jin Zan, the Great Elder of the Jin Family, but also took his Life-bound Spiritual Artifact!

“Shh, that seems to be the Life-bound Spiritual Artifact of the Great Elder of the Jin Family, the Golden Dragon Square Halberd!”

“Never thought that even the Life-bound Spiritual Artifact would be taken by Lu Mountain Lord!”

“No wonder the Ancestor of Jin Family brought Jin Zan to apologize. The Life-bound Spiritual Artifact is connected to one’s life. Once lost, it takes who knows how many years to nurture anew, which could delay his attempt at Core Formation!”

“However, Lu Mountain Lord is truly magnanimous. Although the Jin Family is polite, they are duplicitous, yet he simply and openly took out this Life-bound Spiritual Artifact.”

“The rumors say that Lu Changsheng is a man of loyalty and righteousness, and now it seems that he indeed acts with integrity. He does not provoke others, and as long as you don’t offend Bi Lake Mountain, we should be able to coexist in peace.”

Everyone in the hall watched this unfold, each silently calculating.

But a few people also had their minds on the Core Formation Spiritual Object that Lu Changsheng had just put into his Storage Bag.

“This Lu Changsheng is really not simple. Does he really have the confidence, or…”

The Ancestor of Jin Family saw Lu Changsheng calmly accept his Core Formation Spiritual Object and then took out the Golden Dragon Square Halberd, his heart skipping a beat, somewhat unexpected.

After all, Lu Changsheng’s initiative to take out the Spiritual Artifact indicated he saw through the intentions.

But in such a situation, he still dared to accept the Core Formation Spiritual Object.

He didn’t ponder long, turning to Jin Zan with a cold huff, “Jin Zan, have you not thanked Lu Mountain Lord enough?”

“Thank you, Lu Mountain Lord.”
