Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 1264: Chapter 437: The Sima Family is domineering and unreasonable!

“Lu Changsheng, don’t be so shameless…”

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, Song Cheng’s expression instantly changed, becoming as dark as water.

If it weren’t for the fact that Lu Changsheng’s reputation preceded him, and that this was Bi Lake Mountain, he would have acted out on the spot.

The two of them had come bearing the verbal decree of Real Person Chiyang.

For Lu Changsheng to treat them with such disdain, it was as if he completely disregarded Red Sun Peak and his master, Real Person Chiyang.

A newly risen False Core family—even with Lu Changsheng, a Third-Rank Talisman Master—was still nothing more than a dog in the eyes of Qingyun Sect!

“Leave!”

Lu Changsheng said plainly, holding a teacup in hand, his expression calm and indifferent, displaying not the slightest courtesy.

These words caused Song Cheng to smash the table with one palm, rising abruptly, intent on taking action, but Sima Qiuhua quickly pulled back her senior brother.

While she did indeed relish the thought of her senior brother and Lu Changsheng clashing in a fierce fight,

today’s primary goal was still to rescue her family’s patriarch.

If things escalated too far, it would be difficult to resolve.

Moreover, their master was not known to be the kind of overbearing person.

If word got out that they had initiated hostility and acted aggressively, they would lose the moral high ground.

“Fine, fine, fine, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Song Cheng’s face was dark, his tone sharp and biting, as he said, “Since Master Lu refuses to show respect to Red Sun Peak, I will report this matter truthfully to my master!”

As a disciple of a Nascent Soul Immortal, he held an important position in Qingyun Sect; normally, which patriarch of a family did not greet him with utmost reverence upon seeing him?

Now, Lu Changsheng, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, dared to treat him this way—it truly infuriated him to the point of steaming.

After saying this, he left the hall swiftly with Sima Qiuhua.

“At least they have some sense.”

Lu Changsheng watched the pair leave, lightly sipping his tea.

For someone like Lu Changsheng who had cultivated for so long, such attitudes hardly provoked much anger.

Responding in this way was partly because there was truly nothing worth talking about, and he couldn’t be bothered to feign politeness.

On the other hand, he also didn’t mind the matter escalating if it meant drawing stronger allies into the fray.

If the Sima Family invited intervention from Red Sun Peak’s figures, even a Nascent Soul Immortal, and his own side was still able to handle them, wouldn’t that demonstrate the strength of his backing?

“Would my lord like me to send word to Xiao Xiyue?”

Ling Zixiao asked, somewhat surprised by Lu Changsheng’s actions.

Still, she didn’t dwell on it too much.

She knew Lu Changsheng surely had his own reasoning behind everything he did.

“Hmm, I’ll pay Qingyun Sect a visit myself. It’s time to establish solid backing within Qingyun Sect.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

“Backing?”

Ling Zixiao was slightly surprised upon hearing this.

She knew her lord already had connections in Qingyun Sect—Xiao Xiyue and Zhao Qingqing—but did he have others?

For someone to be considered true backing, strong enough to oppose Real Person Chiyang, it could only be another Nascent Soul Immortal.

Could it be…?

Ling Zixiao’s thoughts turned to her lord’s history of romantic entanglements, and she revealed an expression of subtle contemplation in her beautiful eyes.

Lu Changsheng didn’t offer further explanations. He activated the Fate-Defying Robe, his figure immediately merging with the void and vanishing completely.

…

“Senior brother, I heard Lu Changsheng is close friends with Xiao Xiyue of Caiyun Peak.”

“For him to act so arrogantly, it must be because he’s relying on his relations with Xiao Xiyue.”

As Sima Qiuhua and Song Cheng left Bi Lake Mountain, she remarked.

Sima Qiuhua had long investigated Lu Changsheng’s connections within Qingyun Sect, gaining insights into his ties.

She knew that he had a Dao companion, a brother-in-law, and this layer of relations with Xiao Xiyue.

However, Zhao Qingqing and Xia Zhaoyang were insignificant in their eyes.

Only Xiao Xiyue warranted their attention.

After all, Xiao Xiyue wasn’t just a True Disciple of Qingyun Sect; she had the talent for Core Formation and was backed by masters and senior sisters who were all Nascent Soul Immortals.

Such standing and influence were far beyond what either of them could compare to.

“Hmph, now that Qing Yi Fairy is overseeing matters in the Tianyuan Secret Realm and Caiyun True Immortal has been secluded for some time, even if he asks Junior Sister Xiyue to mediate, what good will it do?”

“Does Junior Sister Xiyue care enough about this relationship to offend our entire Red Sun Peak by asking Caiyun True Immortal to break her seclusion?”

Song Cheng said coldly.

Pausing briefly, he narrowed his eyes and continued, “That Lu Changsheng must think he can ingratiate himself with Caiyun Peak, but he’s sorely mistaken!”

Although he didn’t know much about Lu Changsheng personally,

he was certain anyone capable of rising to this level within decades couldn’t be foolish enough to provoke Red Sun Peak without reason.

Such an attitude today must serve some hidden agenda.

And the prior grudge between his master and Caiyun True Immortal—causing discord between the two factions—was no secret.

Thus, his first guess was that Lu Changsheng’s refusal was an attempt to curry favor with Xiao Xiyue and Caiyun Peak.

“Hmph, that Lu Changsheng is nothing but a philandering opportunist. He’s probably harboring feelings for Xiao Xiyue and trying to get into her good graces!”

Sima Qiuhua scoffed disdainfully, her tone frosty.

Though she couldn’t deny Lu Changsheng’s strikingly handsome features, which were rare to behold in her lifetime,

during the brief interaction just now, she noted his complete disinterest in her, coupled with an attitude she found revolting.

“I’ve heard Junior Sister Xiyue’s cultivation technique requires her to forget love and sever ties to emotions. His efforts are destined to be wasted.”

“Moreover, what kind of person is Junior Sister Xiyue? She is the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix, destined to achieve Core Formation in the future. Lu Changsheng may have some fortunate encounters, but he’s still just a frog in a well! Where would he find the qualifications?”

Song Cheng sneered contemptuously.

Years ago, he too had tried to pursue Xiao Xiyue,

but his master had revealed certain secrets, leading him to realize such attempts were futile.

“Don’t worry, Junior Sister, I will report this matter truthfully to Master and Mistress.”

Song Cheng said, glancing at Sima Qiuhua.

“I’ll leave it to you, Senior Brother. After this matter is resolved, I will certainly reward you handsomely.”

Sima Qiuhua replied with a charming smile, her voice soft and gentle.

Although Song Cheng showed little prospect of forming a True Elixir,

with his identity as a disciple of Real Person Chiyang, achieving a False Core in the future was certainly within reach.
