Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 558: Lu Yang is my good brother, I won’t harm him!
Chapter 558: Lu Yang is my good brother, I won't harm him!
Lu Yang arrived at Meng Jingzhou's cave dwelling. Before he could knock, he overheard Meng Jingzhou talking to someone inside.
"Impossible! Who do you think I am, Meng Jingzhou? How could I let my brother fall into such peril?"
"This is the master's intention. To control Lu Yang, this is the only way."
"Go back and tell my father it's impossible. He should just give up on this idea!"
"Don't mention my father to me. If he has the guts, let him come to the Seek Tao Sect, and I'll have my master beat him up!"
"Young master... sigh..."
Xu You, seeing that persuading Meng Jingzhou was futile, could only give up. He noticed Lu Yang standing outside the door and was momentarily stunned.
He had seen Lu Yang's portrait before.
Lu Yang felt a bit awkward. Although the two were discussing a topic related to him, and it didn't seem particularly favorable, directly encountering them was still embarrassing.
The two nodded at each other as they passed by without speaking.
As soon as he entered the cave dwelling, Lu Yang saw the furious Meng Jingzhou.
"This is too much. Look at the nonsense my father is thinking up!" Meng Jingzhou complained to Lu Yang. Despite often trying to trick Lu Yang, at critical moments, he was firmly on Lu Yang's side.
Lu Yang was deeply moved. What a good brother. He pretended not to have eavesdropped at the door and asked, "Who was that just now?"
"Xu You. I heard he used to be my father's study companion and has now been promoted to manager."
"He came to persuade you to go home?"
"He started to, but after a couple of sentences, he stopped. He said he had something important to discuss with me."
"What was it?"
"My father wants to marry my sister off to you. I helped you decline."
Lu Yang: "..."
Truly a good brother.
"I remember your sister isn't even of age to start cultivating yet, right?"
"Engagement, you know. Big families love this kind of thing. Didn't a bunch of people come to propose to me when I was a kid? It's all the same process."
"I guess my father intercepted the letters I wrote to my sister. He saw me praising you as cunning and ruthless, with the potential to surpass the sect leader. He thinks you're talented and wants you as a son-in-law."
"Xu You also conveyed a message, saying since your master is Bu Yu Taoist and can't find a wife, you might as well marry into our Meng family."
"By the way, why did you come to see me?"
"Third senior sister sent a letter saying she wants me to visit the Demon Realm. I'm planning to go. Do you want to come along?"
"Which third senior sister?"
"Third senior sister Gan Tian."
"Who?"
Lu Yang suddenly remembered that third senior sister Gan Tian hadn't returned to the sect in a long time, and she was low-key, with few stories circulating about her in the sect.
"My master has four disciples. Besides the eldest senior sister, there are two others above me: second senior brother Ye Zijin and third senior sister Gan Tian. One is in the Golden Buddha Kingdom, and the other is in the southern Demon Realm."
Meng Jingzhou suddenly understood and waggled his index finger: "I know your second senior brother. He's the one whose Elemental Infant ran away after forming, and he couldn't even defeat his own Elemental Infant!"
"...I hope you can say that when you meet second senior brother."
...
Xu You hadn't gone far. He sat next to the old horse, pulled out two wine gourds, one for himself and one for the old horse.
He first drank half a gourd himself and then said, "Brother Ma, it's been two years since we last met. How's life in the Seek Tao Sect?"
"To be honest, I really envy you for being able to stay by the young master's side. It's so peaceful. You know how chaotic the eldest brother's family is. Managing the Meng family is exhausting."
"When I heard the eldest brother missed his son, I volunteered to come to the Seek Tao Sect. Whether the young master goes back or not, at least I can rest for a few days."
The old horse glanced at Xu You, tilted its head back to bite the wine gourd, and drank half a gourd of wine. Then it released the gourd, which floated in mid-air.
"Do you really think it's easy following the young master?"
The old horse thought to itself, you think being a manager is tough? Try my job.
I brought the young master to the Seek Tao Sect, and before we even entered the gate, the young master called Yun Zhi onto the carriage and asked if she was also here for the trial, claiming he had the exam questions.
It was nerve-wracking to have Yun Zhi on board.
When the young master and Lu Yang went out on a mission together for the first time, they infiltrated the Immortal Sect and became its helm master. Just when they thought they could return to the sect, Lu Yang had to go and call out the true name of the Immortal Fairy.
I watched as an ancient immortal appeared, nearly scaring me to death.
Later, I took the young master to Qingzhou for a grand event. Halfway through, two Body Fusion stage cultivators from Great Yu and one Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator appeared. Luckily, Yun Zhi stepped in.
Then we went to the Wild State. Goodness, three Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators, one of whom was the Great Yu Emperor. I had to bring their souls back.
Which of these events could a mere demon king like me handle?
Bringing the Meng family ancestor over might work, but pulling the carriage? I'm done with that.
"If you think it's easy for me, we can switch places."
Just so you can see what high-level cultivators are like. Don't think being at the Body Fusion stage is impressive. You'd be embarrassed to step out with the young master without starting at the Tribulation Crossing stage.
Seeing the old horse grinning maliciously, Xu You sobered up considerably and shook his head firmly.
Suddenly, the old horse asked in confusion, "Did you do something when you came to the Seek Tao Sect? Why are they looking for you?"
"Do something?" Xu You was momentarily confused.
He saw a disciple guarding the mountain gate pointing the way for the Great Elder.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.
"Great Elder, this is the one who bribed us. This is the storage ring he gave us."
Xu You: "..."
The Great Elder wore a smile similar to Xu You's, asking cheerfully, "Brother Xu, let's talk. Bribing our sect's disciples is no small matter. Are you planning for me to report you to the authorities, or would you prefer to be detained in our Seek Tao Sect for a few days?"
As the leader of the Nine Sons of Seek Tao Sect and the head of the mission hall, the Great Elder was in charge of all information within the sect. He was well aware of everything happening in the Body Fusion stage.
The Meng family head, the demon king old horse, and Xu You were sworn brothers, having traveled far and wide in their youth and shared a strong bond. Later, Xu You became the Meng family manager, while the old horse sometimes stayed with the Meng family and sometimes returned to its home in the Eastern Sea.
"I'll stay in the Seek Tao Sect." Xu You quickly made his decision.
Without another word, the Great Elder took out a prepared shackle and clamped it onto Xu You with a clang.
"Hey, isn't this a bit much?"
The Great Elder sneered repeatedly, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You just think being a manager is too tiring and want to take advantage of being caught to rest in our Seek Tao Sect for a few days."
"If you had just said so honestly, I might have cooperated. But since you tried to scheme... who else should I catch but you? Come with me!"
Trying to play tricks in front of him was impossible.
Xu You looked back at the old horse in despair, seeing the old horse's gloating expression.
At this moment, Meng Jingzhou opened the door and came out.
"Old horse, Lu and I are planning to go to the Demon Realm."
The old horse's face turned ashen, wishing it could switch places with Xu You.
