Chapter 237: 122: I Really Didn’t Mean to Live Off a Woman!_1
All that remained were cultivators with different surnames, as well as slaves and mortals.
Then, following a thunderous ‘boom’ that shook the heavens and earth from above Red Leaf Valley, everyone raised their heads to look at the piercing white light in the sky.
As the white light gradually dissipated, the figures of the Lu Family Ancestor, the Bai Family Ancestor, and a purple-clad figure appeared.
But there was no sign of Ancestor Chen.
Everyone knew that Ancestor Chen was dead.
From today onward, the Chen Family of Red Leaf Valley would be no more.
As for the previously seen thin young man, he had disappeared.
Instead, there was a purple-clad girl with a stunningly beautiful face and an ethereal, elusive temperament.
The crowd also guessed that this purple-clad girl was actually the thin young man in disguise.
To this, they were somewhat surprised, but it also seemed inevitable.
After all, just now many had heard Meng Xiaochan calling out ‘Lu Lang.’
From this address, it was clear that this ‘Lu Lang’ was most likely a man.
One man calling another man ‘Lu Lang’ might make sense, but it also seemed a bit strange.
However, if it turned out to be a female cultivator, it would appear quite normal.
Watching the exquisitely beautiful Meng Xiaochan in the sky, everyone thought to themselves, wondering who this ‘Lu Lang’ she mentioned could be?
To have captured the heart of a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator in such a way.
Is it the Lu Family Ancestor or Yuan Zhong?
Members of the two families gazed at the Lu Family Ancestor and Lu Yuanzhong in the sky, speculating in their minds.
“It’s really her!”
Lu Changsheng, looking at the purple-clad girl in the sky, thought to himself that it was as he had guessed.
He knew he had guessed right earlier.
The thin young man from just now was the same purple-dress girl who had placed the Gu on him back then.
Although the girl in the purple dress had a pretty face which was only considerately beautiful and varied greatly from the current exquisitely beautiful features and the ethereal, elusive temperament,
the contours of her eyebrows and eyes, together with her current attire, allowed Lu Changsheng to see a resemblance.
He was one hundred percent certain that the two were the same person.
“Does this mean that the ‘Lu Lang’ she called out was me?”
“Did she suddenly attack Ancestor Chen just now because of me? Because Ancestor Chen attacked me?”
Lu Changsheng pondered to himself.
He felt he had mostly figured out the cause and effect, and his confusion was clearing.
But then, Lu Changsheng’s thoughts halted, and another question came to mind.
“Under these circumstances, she wouldn’t come over and greet me, would she?”
This thought made Lu Changsheng suddenly feel a bit panicked.
If she were to come over and greet him in front of this crowd, and call out ‘Lu Lang’ again, wouldn’t he be exposed?
He would draw attention and be remembered.
However.
No sooner had the thought crossed his mind than Lu Changsheng saw Meng Xiaochan, in her purple dress, drifting down from the sky towards him.
“Damn it!”
Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but curse internally.
This was really setting him up.
Under the gaze of everyone present, Meng Xiaochan approached Lu Changsheng.
Her delicate face was slightly pale from the recent battle.
Her eyes, full of sorrow and apology, looked at Lu Changsheng.
Then, with a voice mellifluous and shy, she said, “Lu Lang.”
“Hiss!”
“Hiss!”
“Hiss!”
At that moment, everyone around was shocked, stunned, taken aback.
The Fourth Elder was stunned.
Lu Miaoyun was stunned.
Lu Yuanding was stunned.
Lu Miaoge and Lu Miaohuan were also stunned.
Just a moment ago they were speculating how deeply the Lu Family Ancestor and Lu Yuanzhong were hiding their true strength,
having even kept a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator as a spy within the Chen Family.
But never in their wildest dreams had they imagined that this Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator’s ‘Lu Lang’ was actually Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng, who was outside, actually knew such a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.
And at that moment, this ethereal and fairy-like Great Cultivator looked tenderly at Lu Changsheng with a voice as soft as water, calling out ‘Lu Lang.’
From their tone, everyone in the moment heard endless sorrow and affection.
Which caused everyone to gasp in unison.
“Sigh.”
Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly.
He could clearly feel that at this moment, countless eyes filled with shock, surprise, doubt, admiration, and respect were fixed on him.
He knew he could no longer keep a low profile.
“Miss, glad to see you’re unharmed.”
Lu Changsheng, looking at Meng Xiaochan before him, said somewhat awkwardly.
While speaking, he stealthily slid his hand into his sleeve, clutching the golden light brick talisman treasure.
Although he suspected that she had fallen in love with him due to the backlash of the affection Gu,
the underlying reasons and effects were mostly his own speculations.
He was still unclear about the exact effects of this love Gu.
He didn’t know if she would still try to harm him.
After all, their first two encounters had not been very pleasant.
Lu Changsheng also found it too much of a coincidence that Ancestor Chen had suddenly attacked him,
and he suspected it might be related to her.
This made him extremely cautious.
Nevertheless, considering he had the Profound Origin Bead on him, he was still quite confident when facing the current Meng Xiaochan.
“If Lu Lang recognized me yet was unwilling to meet, how could I be unharmed?”
Meng Xiaochan’s delicate lips curved slightly, and her starry eyes full of sorrow spoke.
It was as though she was looking at a heartless lover.
Hearing this, Lu Changsheng watched her sorrowful expression and twitched in annoyance.
Big sister, we’ve only met three times in total.
I don’t even know your name.
He thought to himself that this affection Gu was far too domineering.
Ever since the Gu backlash, he hadn’t seen her, and now upon meeting her, she was like this.
He was relieved that he had the Peach Blossom Gu, or he would have been in the same state—just the thought gave Lu Changsheng shivers.
“Hiss!”
“Hiss!”
“Hiss!”
And at this moment, everyone around him gasped again.
