After the witch ripped out his heart, this mortal body began to lose control.

The table fell silent instantly.

Zhao Si's hand, holding the wine bowl, froze in mid-air. Unaware that wine had spilled onto his clothes, he stared wide-eyed at Lu Changsheng:

"You killed Chifeng? You killed that Foundation Establishment guest elder of the Li family, who was famous throughout Yunyang City for his escape skills?"

The two second and third masters beside him also changed their expressions drastically, and almost dropped their chopsticks.

The fact that the Qi Refining Technique had severed the Foundation Establishment stage, and that the killer had even managed to kill Chi Feng, who was known for his ability to escape, was enough to shock them.

"Good! You little rascal, you've improved quite a bit in just a few days!"

The elders at the table all praised him for being a good kid, but Lu Chengfeng, sitting on the left, remained calm throughout.

He picked up the wine bowl and slowly took a sip. There was no surprise in his cloudy old eyes, as if Lu Changsheng hadn't said he had killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but rather that he had hunted a wild rabbit today.

Looking at the elders in front of me, listening to their praise.

Lu Changsheng was not happy, but rather very worried.

Now that I have killed Chifeng, the Li family will not let this go and will surely retaliate against me even more fiercely.

Now that I am the son-in-law of the Shen family, I don't need to worry about my safety if I stay in the Shen family.

But what about Yunshan Village? What about Grandpa? What about the villagers?

He glanced up and surveyed the group of elders at the table.

He handed the prepared communication jade slips to the elders one by one, and then gave them instructions:

"Take this jade slip and notify me immediately if anything happens."

Then he looked at his grandfather solemnly and said, "After I'm gone, if the village needs anything, please let me know."

I had Steward Zhang send someone to deliver this. From now on, everyone should try not to leave the village easily, because I'm afraid the Li family might take the opportunity to kill you!

The person speaking was very serious, but the elders listening at the table didn't take it seriously at all.

Zhao Si immediately teased, "Look at this kid, is he still the same poor boy he used to be?"

She's only been married into the Shen family for a few days!

He already has the airs of a wealthy family's son-in-law.

After teasing him, he solemnly addressed Lu Changsheng:

"You don't need to worry about village affairs, just take care of yourself."

Your most important task is to cultivate diligently and break through to a higher realm as soon as possible.

"But I'm afraid the Li family might turn against you!"

"What are you afraid of! Your grandfather is the number one person in Yunyang City. With your grandfather around, who would dare to cause trouble for us?"

Besides, do you think those few rotten cabbages from the Li family would dare to cause trouble in our village?

"Your grandfather doesn't even need to lift a finger; your fourth uncle could kill them in a heartbeat!"

Zhao Si's earnest words, however, were seen by Lu Changsheng as a way for an elder to comfort him.

Fourth Uncle loved to boast. He used to brag to Lu Changsheng about how he had defeated a dragon when he was young.

He even tore off a dragon horn and displayed it at home, boasting to everyone he met that he had defeated a dragon.

Lu Changsheng secretly played with the so-called dragon horn, and it was clearly no different from deer antlers.

……

Lu Chengfeng, who had remained silent until now, looked at Lu Changsheng and spoke calmly:

"That brat from the Li family is so arrogant and domineering. This time, he lost a capable henchman; consider it a small lesson!"

"If he tries to take advantage of you again, don't hold back. Just find an opportunity to kill him!"

Do you still remember what Grandpa always told you?

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng exchanged a glance with his grandfather and solemnly said:

"Of course I remember."

Don't get angry when things happen; avoid them if you can, and if you can't avoid them, then take decisive action.

When you strike, you must strike deadly!

One fatal blow!

We must never let womanly compassion lead to future troubles.

--------

After several rounds of drinks, as the moonlight gradually brightened...

Lu Changsheng picked up the wine jar on the table, first filling a bowl of wine for each of the elders, then looked at his grandfather and said:

"Grandpa, there's something else I'd like you to advise me on when I come back this time."

In order to win over Shen Qinghe, I lied to her, saying that I knew of a dual cultivation technique that could completely cure the Taiyin Cold Sha in her body.

Now that the lie has been told, if we don't cover it up soon, we're afraid we'll be exposed.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chengfeng began to scold: "So you still haven't won her over?"

How could I have such a terrible grandson? You're nowhere near as good as I was back then!

Lu Chengfeng glanced at him sideways, reached into his robes, pulled out a yellowed jade slip, and casually tossed it in front of him:

"This is a warm-up exercise, a haphazard method I figured out in my early years. It has no other use than one function."

Practicing this exercise will stimulate the flow of Qi and blood throughout the body, causing a feeling of heat and fever, and dissipating Yang energy.

Lu Changsheng caught the jade slip and asked, "Can cultivating this technique neutralize her Yin Coldness?"

"Of course not."

Lu Chengfeng slapped him on the head.

"You brat, have you lost your mind?"

The only thing that can cure the coldness is the jade pendant around your neck.

But this technique can make a person's whole body feel hot, temporarily dispelling the coldness on her body.

She'll just assume the technique is working, and with the jade pendant backing you up, she won't see anything amiss.

Lu Chengfeng took out a homemade cigarette from his pocket, and Lu Changsheng quickly conjured a flame with his fingertips to light it for him.

The old man took a deep drag, exhaled a smoke ring, and then slowly said, "Can Grandpa cover for you with a lie? You'll have to put in more effort to win her over as soon as possible."

You don't really think I swallowed my pride and pleaded with that old woman from the Shen family for three nights just to get you married into the Shen family and to gather the materials and spirit stones you need to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, do you?

Lu Changsheng remained silent. He genuinely believed that his grandfather had arranged for him to marry into the Shen family because he valued their wealth and influence, which could help him break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and extend his lifespan.

He no longer thought that way after marrying into the Shen family.

Grandpa's meticulous planning was all for one purpose.

That would mean completely binding himself, with his inferior spiritual root that others looked down upon, to Shen Qing, that chosen one of heaven.

With Shen Qinghe's help, he could not only establish his foundation, but also enter a celestial sect and go further.

He looked up at the old man who had raised him, his gaze becoming serious:

"Grandpa, I understand what I need to do. I will definitely not let you down!"

Seeing the seriousness in his eyes, Lu Chengfeng feared that he was taking things too seriously and developing inner demons.

He quickly and seamlessly switched into the persona of a cunning old man, pulling a porcelain bottle from his robes and shoving it into his hand.

"Oh right, you left in such a hurry that day, I forgot to give you this."

Grandpa was young once too, and I understand how difficult it is for you to deal with that girl from the Shen family.

"What is this?"

"Dragon Essence Aphrodisiac Pill!"

With this, I guarantee that little vixen will never be able to leave you again!

……

"Take this back; I don't need it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out the wooden box containing the Myriad Transformations Five Elements Fruit from his storage bag and gently pushed it in front of Lu Chengfeng.

"Grandpa, take a look at this first."

This was given to me by Shen Qinghe. He said it was a treasure of the Chuyun Immortal Sect that could purify the five elements of spiritual power and broaden the meridians. I didn't dare to touch it, so I brought it back for you to examine first.

I don't believe she would give me this treasure so easily. I'm afraid she'll use tricks, like poison or magic.

Lu Chengfeng picked up the wooden box and slowly opened it.

A luminous aura instantly emanated from the fruit, which lay quietly in the box, its entire body shimmering with iridescent colors. The fruit exuded a refreshing fragrance, and as soon as the aroma spread, the surrounding spiritual energy became several degrees thicker.

He glanced at it only once before closing the box, then looked up at Lu Changsheng, a half-smile playing on his lips:

"That girl from the Shen family is quite generous. Even inner disciples of the Chuyun Immortal Sect are not qualified to obtain this Myriad Transformations Five Elements Fruit, yet she gave it to you."

The product is safe and sound; it's not poisonous, and there's no magic involved. You can take it without worry.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned, picked up his wine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and said:

"It's good that this thing is okay."

Lu Chengfeng threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped it out, and then dismissed him, saying, "I've told you everything I needed to tell you. Now we old folks are going to have a good drink, so don't get in my way."

Lu Changsheng knew that the old man was trying to kick him out, so he prepared to go back to his room.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chengfeng stopped him: "Your house isn't finished yet, there's nowhere for you to sleep."

Go back to the Shen family home, and return overnight!

The fat guy outside the courtyard followed you all the way back, secretly waiting outside until now. You just happened to go back with him.

Could it be Butler Zhang?

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng was taken aback, then realized what was happening.

No wonder he didn't encounter any pursuers on his way back to the village from Yunyang City; it turned out that Steward Zhang had been following behind him and secretly clearing away any tails for him.

Thinking this, he felt even more favorably toward the chubby butler with his round belly.

……

After Lu Changsheng left, Zhao Si frowned, puzzled: "It's dark and the road is dangerous, why didn't you let the child rest for the night?"

Lu Chengfeng picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, a cold glint flashing in his cloudy eyes:

"Jade must be carved to become a useful object. If he stays in the village, how dare the Li family members show their faces?"

I deliberately made him return to the Shen family overnight!

How can you catch fish if you don't cast the bait?
