Chapter 89: A Conversation Between the Lü Family Father and Daughter, Asking About Immortality
The Lü family of Jiangnan.

In Jiangnan, there is the Lü family, who have passed down their martial arts tradition. Each generation of the family head has been a top-notch master in the world.

The family's Dragon Scale Divine Skill is one of the top-tier martial arts in the world. Those who cultivate this skill must take the reverse scale of a strange fish from the Yangtze River to cover their bodies. After minor success, silver patterns will appear on their skin, and their energy will be like a dragon, making them impervious to swords and spears. After mastering the skill, the silver patterns will transform into dragon scales, allowing them to fly through the air and possessing immense strength, capable of moving mountains and shattering peaks. When the skill is practiced to its extreme, one can even transform into a dragon and summon wind and rain.

However, since the strange fish of the Yangtze River disappeared a thousand years ago, no one from the Lü family in Jiangnan has ever mastered it to the highest level.

The fish used for scaling have changed from the strange fish of the Yangtze River to ordinary large fish.

The Dragon Scale Divine Skill is no longer as glorious as it once was.

……

"Lu Yi, what kind of nonsense are you spouting?"

"Borrow? Tell me, what does 'borrow' mean?"

"You want my Lü family's Earth-level cultivation technique the moment you open your mouth?"

"Lu Yi, have you forgotten that your surname is Lu?"

"Once you're married, are you truly like water spilled from a cup, gone forever?"

"And you, Chen Nian, I chose to marry my daughter to you because I valued your pragmatism and your passionate spirit in speaking out for the people."

"Now, you two, husband and wife, are actually plotting against me?"

"Is this something a human being would do?"

"I have misjudged him."

Lu Yue, the current head of the Lu family, is over eighty years old, yet he still blushes and gets angry at his daughter and son-in-law below.

The sons in the main hall all lowered their heads and remained silent, not daring to plead for their younger sister, for fear that the old man would scold them as well.

My father-in-law has such a bad temper.

Not to be offended.

Especially when he's in a fit of righteous anger, if you dare to speak up, even if you're an elder, you'll get slapped a few times.

When the old man gets angry, he really will hit people.

Their sons are all getting on in years, and they're all grandfathers now. How embarrassing would it be if they were beaten by their grandfather in front of their grandchildren?

"Father, what do you mean by that?"

Is it really that hard for me to borrow a local-level cultivation technique from you?

"Am I not a member of the Lü family?"

"Isn't Yiyi your granddaughter?"

"Why can't I borrow a local-level cultivation technique?"

"It's not like I'm not going to pay it back."

"Besides, am I borrowing it for free? This 800-year-old ginseng isn't considered anything?"

Lady Lü was also furious.

Although she is married, a wife, a mother, and a grandmother, it doesn't mean she has a good temper.

Of Lü Yue's seven sons and two daughters, she was the most like him. Her temper was no worse than Lü Yue's, and in some ways even more volatile. It's just that she became much more restrained after getting married.

"Alright, alright, Lü Yi, you've finally got a brain."

"At least you know to say you borrowed it."

"They even know how to use titles and give gifts now."

"Chen Nian, tell me, did you teach this?"

"Lü Yi doesn't have that kind of brain."

Lu Yue glared at Lu Shi, but Lu Shi didn't back down at all and glared back, which infuriated Lu Yue.

They could only turn their anger towards their son-in-law, Chen Nian, who was standing to the side.

"Um……"

Chen Nian appeared calm and collected, but was actually panicking.

He never expected his wife to suddenly lose her temper.

My father-in-law just got up.

This is tricky.

"What's wrong? You can't win an argument with me, so you're taking it out on my husband?"

“Look at me, Lü Yue.”

The Lü family went all out, and they were incredibly powerful.

"Little sister, little sister."

"Don't be so irritable, your father is in a difficult position too."

"We can lend out Xuan-level martial arts techniques, but you're asking for Di-level ones. We can't explain that to the elders."

The eldest brother, Yueyang, could only force himself to come out and give the father and daughter a way out.

"Elder?"

"They're nobody."

"Big brother, do you know how extraordinary Yiyi's talent is?"

"She mastered unparalleled martial arts from a fake manual."

"With such extraordinary comprehension, given time, once she perfects that martial art, it will become a Heaven-level martial art, a martial art unique to her."

"Heaven-level martial arts, even countless peak second-rank masters have devoted their entire lives to it but have never been able to forge their own path of martial arts."

"And my Yiyi, she has stepped out, and she will surely reach the pinnacle of martial arts in the future."

Heaven-level martial arts are the stepping stone to the first rank. Without heaven-level martial arts, no matter how talented you are, you cannot step into the first rank.

How many martial arts heroes have stopped at this point?
Uncle Lu Xingzhi, how brilliant a pearl he once was?
In the name of the Three Perfections, he brutally defeated a group of martial arts heroes.

Such exceptionally talented individuals disdain following the paths of their predecessors and instead strive to forge their own unique path in martial arts.

Ultimately, it failed.

It's easy to imagine how difficult this step is; it's as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Chen Yiyi, on the other hand, was born to take that leap. She only needed to proceed steadily to reach the top rank.

If not now, when?

……

"That old man, the opportunity is right in front of him, and he's still whining."

"Short-sighted."

Lady Lü said angrily.

"Asshole."

Enraged, Lü Yue slammed his hand on the table, which shattered instantly.

"Wife, say no more."

Chen Nian tugged at Lu Shi's sleeve.

"Just do as you say."

“Yiyi is my bloodline, Lü Yue, so let her take the surname Lü.”

"Let alone Earth-level martial arts, even Heaven-level martial arts, I will pass on my family's ancestral secret techniques to her."

"Do you want to?"

"Lu Yue said angrily."

"I do not want to."

Before Chen Nian could express his opinion, Lady Lü bluntly stated that she was unwilling.

This made Lü Yue even more irritable.

Why are you unwilling when it's your turn?

Does it really matter whether someone is surnamed Chen or Lü?

"Isn't this what you said, Lü Yi?"

Lu Yue's anger level was at its maximum.

"Because the Lü family is weak."

"Yiyi has changed her surname to Lü, can you protect her?"

"How many years has it been since our Lü family produced a first-rank martial artist?"

“A thousand years, a full thousand years.”

"Without the protection of a first-rank martial artist, once her talent is exposed, she will surely die."

"Isn't my Yiyi's life also a life?"

The Lü family's argument was well-founded and supported by evidence.

How many geniuses die in their seedling stage?
How did Tianjian Gu of the Huashan Sect die?

Who in the world doesn't know this?
Lu Yue is very strong, with peak second-grade strength. With his Dragon Scale Divine Skill, he can even fight a first-grade martial artist for a hundred moves without being defeated.

But in the end, it was still only a second-rank item.

Chen Yiyi's talent is so extraordinary that even the Lü family couldn't protect her.

"Well said. So, your Chen family can protect him?"

"A noble family is, at best, nothing more than the royal family's dogs."

"Once exposed, the royal family will strike first without anyone else having to do it."

"Can the Chen family protect her?"

Lu Yue suppressed his anger.

“Lu Yuan can protect.”

"As long as Lu Yuan is here, no one can threaten Yi Yi."

Lu's words were startling.

“Lu Yuan…”

The lobby fell silent instantly.
