As Shen Feng and Lu Wansheng drew closer,
Lu Guangwen's brow furrowed tighter and tighter. He was still trying to work out why his old man had smacked him on the back of his head earlier; even if Shen Feng was Lu Xueqing's lifesaver, there was no need to get so angry over his words, right?
Now things seed even more absurd. His old man, standing beside Shen Feng, had completely turned into a lickspittle. One had to know that his father was a Sea Transformation Initial Stage powerhouse! For a forr Spirit Water City Lord to lower himself so shalessly before a Foundation Establishnt Stage youngster was beyond his comprehension.
rely on the basis of being Lu Xueqing's lifesaver, he was sure that would not change his father's character so drastically.
Seeing Shen Feng and Lu Wansheng finally close, Lu Guangwen really couldn't stomach Shen Feng's attitude. With his own father groveling so, the young man actually just accepted it! Just as he was about to scold Shen Feng,
Lu Wansheng spoke first, his gaze solemn as he stared at Lu Guangwen and Lu Xueqing, saying, "What are you two idiots standing there for? Co over here and pay your respects to the Old Ancestor."
Old Ancestor?
Since when had this young man beco their Old Ancestor?
Upon hearing this, both Lu Guangwen and Lu Xueqing thought there was sothing wrong with their ears, but after exchanging glances, they knew it was all real. To call a Foundation Establishnt Stage youngster their Old Ancestor? They definitely couldn't bring themselves to do it.
On this occasion, Lu Xueqing and Lu Guangwen were united in their stance. Although Shen Feng was her savior and she felt a great affection for him, to call soone who might be younger than herself and with a lower cultivation than hers "Old Ancestor" was a joke!
Seeing that Lu Guangwen and Lu Xueqing remained indifferent, Lu Wansheng's face grew more and more unsightly. He was not yet ready to disclose Shen Feng's identity to them.
However, even without revealing Shen Feng's identity, basic courtesy had to be observed. The title "Old Ancestor" had to be uttered by Lu Guangwen and Lu Xueqing.
"Forget it, there's no need for such trouble." Shen Feng himself was not particularly concerned about a re title.
Yet when Lu Wansheng heard Shen Feng's words, he tensed up inside. The Carefree Immortal Emperor's return was bound to cause a great upheaval.
With the Carefree Immortal Emperor's ability, dominating the Lower Realm was only a matter of ti, and perhaps in the future, he could also secure a place in the Middle and Upper Realms.
Thanks to Lu Xiangfu, the Lu Family had ford a slight connection with Shen Feng. Lu Wansheng thought of many things—the greater the danger, the greater the harvest. Besides, Shen Feng was their benefactor and had saved Lu Xueqing's life once again.
Lu Wansheng did not want the Lu Family to remain kings confined within Spirit Water City. He knew a rare opportunity lay before him.
In his eyes, the Foundation Establishnt Stage aura exuded by the Carefree Immortal Emperor was surely a ruse; he couldn't believe that the mighty Carefree Immortal Emperor now possessed only a Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivation.
Lu Wansheng showed a remorseful expression to Shen Feng and said respectfully, "Old Ancestor, please give a little ti. Without rules, there is no order. If the two of them don't recognize you as Old Ancestor today, where should I put my face?"
Hearing Lu Wansheng addressing Shen Feng so respectfully as the Old Ancestor, Lu Guangwen and Lu Xueqing truly felt like they were on the verge of collapsing.
Unable to hold back, Lu Xueqing blurted out, "Grandfather, what are you doing? I will repay him for his life-saving grace, but you..."
Lu Wansheng cut her off with a wave of his hand, saying, "Didn't you hear my words? Spare your nonsense. Do you think the Old Ancestor actually wants to acknowledge the two of you as younger generations? You're so unappreciative of your good fortune, why haven't you knelt down and kowtowed to the Old Ancestor as a show of respect?"
Lu Guangwen felt his father had gone completely mad, his Nascent Variation Middle Stage presence subtly emanating as his gaze locked onto Shen Feng, and he demanded, "Boy, what exactly have you done to my father?"
Hearing Lu Guangwen daring to question the Carefree Immortal Emperor sent Lu Wansheng stumbling in shock.Uproading the Carefree Immortal Emperor wasn't a laughing matter.
A Sea Transformation Initial Stage aura imdiately burst forth from Lu Wansheng as he contemplated teaching his disobedient son a lesson.
Shen Feng said placidly, "Enough, that's it for today. I should leave now, but I will visit your City Lord's Mansion in Spirit Water City in a few days."
Having said that,
his figure imdiately swept towards the direction of the Hundred Flower Sect. Sensing that Lu Wansheng wanted to follow him, he continued, "Don't follow any longer."
Upon hearing this,
Lu Wansheng finally stopped in his tracks, watching Shen Feng's retreating figure gradually disappear from his sight.
After Shen Feng had completely gone, Lu Wansheng's gaze once more settled on Lu Guangwen and Lu Xueqing.
Feeling the fiery anger in Lu Wansheng's eyes, Lu Guangwen and Lu Xueqing were feeling uneasy inside. Why had Lu Wansheng beco so strange ever since they t Shen Feng?
Lu Guangwen took a deep breath and said, "Father, why did you call that youngster 'Old Ancestor'? He's just at the Foundation Establishnt Stage! Why did you have to be so excessively humble before him?"
"Hmph!"
With a flick of his sleeve, Lu Wansheng snorted coldly and shouted, "Do you think I've gone senile? Do you think I take pleasure in groveling?"
"In front of the Old Ancestor, I must grovel, and I grovel willingly, I grovel cheerfully. Do you think I would harm you? All I asked was for you to call him 'Old Ancestor.' By the ti you wish to do so, I fear that the Old Ancestor won't even acknowledge you two as his grandchildren."
"The identity of the Old Ancestor, you will naturally co to know in the future. I will say just one thing, and you'd better listen well: within the entire Lower Realm, I'm certain there is no one who can lay a finger on the Old Ancestor. As long as we closely follow the Old Ancestor's footsteps, the rise of the Lu Family is just around the corner."
No one in the entire Lower Realm can touch that youngster?
Just by closely following the youngster's footsteps, the rise of the Lu Family in the Lower Realm is just around the corner?
Lu Guangwen and Lu Xueqing felt as if they were listening to so fantastical tale, and they unanimously believed that sothing must have gone wrong with Lu Wansheng!
"You two had better rember this: if you dare to be so disrespectful the next ti you see the Old Ancestor, you will imdiately be expelled from the Lu Family," Lu Wansheng didn't care about the thoughts running through Lu Guangwen and Lu Xueqing's minds at all.
Without Shen Feng's permission, he naturally didn't dare to reveal Shen Feng's identity recklessly. His harsh scolding was also for the sake of his son and granddaughter.
After reprimanding them,
he imdiately sat down with legs crossed.
With his cultivation technique circulating within his body, he began to strive for a breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Sea Transformation right there and then.
Sensing the rising aura within Lu Wansheng's body, which was soon to break through to the Middle Stage of Sea Transformation,
Lu Guangwen and Lu Xueqing's expressions shifted slightly.
"Grandfather is about to make a breakthrough in his cultivation? Hasn't he always been unable to take that final step?" Lu Xueqing muttered in a low voice.
When Lu Guangwen was about to answer, Lu Wansheng, though his eyes remained closed and he sat with legs crossed, his serious voice emanated, "This is an opportunity given to by the Old Ancestor! Do you really think the Old Ancestor's true cultivation is only at the Foundation Establishnt Stage?"
"I will say it one last ti, next ti you must respectfully call him 'Old Ancestor.'
Having said that,
he then fell silent, wholeheartedly imrsing himself in the last push for his breakthrough.
