"Sima Qiuhua."
The woman spoke up, but her face was expressionless, even sowhat indifferent.
"Greetings, Daoist Song. I wonder what brings Daoist Song and Daoist Sima to my Bi Lake Mountain?"
Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao sat aside, smiling as he asked.
"It’s like this: my master heard of Lord Lu’s advancent to a Third-Rank Talisman Master, so he sent to convey congratulations and to inquire if Lord Lu would like to serve as a Visiting Noble Servant at our Red Sun Peak."
Song Cheng took out an exquisite gift box from his Storage Bag and handed it to Lu Changsheng, speaking courteously.
"Daoist Song, you’re too kind. Red Sun Peak? Your master is...?"
Lu Changsheng did not imdiately accept the gift. He narrowed his eyes and asked.
"My master is Real Person Chiyang."
Song Cheng spoke, a trace of arrogance showing on his face.
Being a disciple of a Nascent Soul Immortal was indeed sothing to be proud of.
"Ah, a disciple of Real Person Chiyang, I’m honored, I’m honored."
Lu Changsheng offered a slight bow of his hands.
He was aware of the nas of Qingyun Sect’s Nascent Soul Immortals,
but apart from knowing that Caiyun True Immortal had two disciples, he wasn’t sure about the others.
"My lord, if I’m not mistaken, Sima Qiuhua is also a disciple of Red Sun Peak."
"This person probably didn’t co on behalf of Qingyun Sect, but Red Sun Peak, acting as a diator."
At this ti, the elegant Ling Zixiao, gently sipping her tea, transmitted her Divine Sense to Lu Changsheng.
"Lu Changsheng has only recently advanced to Third-Rank in the Talisman Path and is not yet proficient, so I’m afraid the position of Visiting Noble Servant might not appeal to the Real Person’s discerning eye."
Lu Changsheng voiced his gentle refusal.
He could also see that they were not simply recruiting him and likely were trying to act as a diator, as Ling Zixiao ntioned.
If he were to accept this offer, the matters to follow would probably be difficult to refuse.
Moreover, he had heard Xiao Xiyue ntion that Caiyun True Immortal seed to have so enmity with Real Person Chiyang’s Dao companion.
When they encountered an ambush back then, it was possibly orchestrated by them?
"Lord Lu’s talent in the Talisman Path, Song had long heard of it."
"Moreover, my master personally inquired about this matter, and promises that as long as Lord Lu is willing to co to our Red Sun Peak as a Visiting Noble Servant, not only will you gain access to our sect’s Third-Rank Talisman Path inheritance."
"In the future, if Lord Lu wishes to break through to False Core, our Red Sun Lineage can provide a suitable Third-Rank Demon Core."
Song Cheng, detecting Lu Changsheng’s words of gentle refusal, continued to speak with sincerity.
As for Core Formation resources like Coagulation Crystal Elixir, he didn’t even bring them up.
After all, the Coagulation Crystal Elixir, even within Qingyun Sect, had to be competed for by True Disciples;
how could it be given to outsiders?
"Let consider this matter first."
Lu Changsheng continued to voice his gentle refusal.
Even if he truly wanted to serve as a Visiting Noble Servant in Qingyun Sect, he would undoubtedly choose Caiyun Peak, not Red Sun Peak.
"Alright, then Lord Lu should take your ti to consider it."
Seeing Lu Changsheng reject him like this, Song Cheng’s face beca less gracious and more cold.
After all, in his eyes, no matter how impressive Bi Lake Mountain was, it was rely a dog under Qingyun Sect’s rule.
His master, under the words of his mistress, personally inquired about this matter and was even willing to offer an olive branch and promise benefits. Yet, Lu Changsheng outright refused.
Simply ungrateful!
"In addition to the Visiting Noble Servant matter, this trip of Song’s is also for my junior sister’s family affairs, intending to resolve the enmity between Lord Lu and the Xuanwu Ridge Sima Family."
Song Cheng spoke, continuing the conversation.
"Resolve enmity?"
Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao, upon hearing these words, exchanged glances, noting to themselves that they had expected this.
"I didn’t expect this Daoist Sima to hail from Xuanwu Ridge."
Lu Changsheng looked at Sima Qiuhua and said with a smile.
Then looking at Song Cheng, he continued, "The enmity between the two families originated from the Sima Family. Since Daoist Song has spoken, my Bi Lake Mountain also doesn’t wish to take things too far. As long as the Sima Family is willing to compensate my Bi Lake Mountain accordingly, the matter would naturally co to an end."
Sitting next to them, Sima Qiuhua, upon hearing Lu Changsheng’s words, imdiately clenched her hands within her sleeves.
Her family not only had their patriarch captured but also lost four Nascent Soul Seeds and a Foundation Establishnt elder.
Especially this said elder, who was her direct uncle.
But now, in Lu Changsheng’s casual tone, it seed as if he was lenient and unwilling to push things too far.
"I would like to know what compensation Lord Lu desires?"
Sima Qiuhua suppressed her inward fury and spoke up.
Though she had asked her master to intervene,
in such matters, her master wasn’t going to co personally.
Thus, this recruitnt trip took place.
On one hand, Lu Changsheng indeed was a talent, and Bi Lake Mountain’s current strength was worth recruiting by Qingyun Sect.
On the other hand, bringing him to Red Sun Peak could better resolve the enmity between the two families.
Of course, the compensation to resolve this enmity still needed to co from her Sima Family.
"Regarding compensation..."
Lu Changsheng glanced at Ling Zixiao and deliberated slightly, "Five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, one Spirit Land, thirty store spaces in the marketplace at my Bi Lake Mountain’s choice, and the opening of all trading posts with a sworn promise not to retaliate against my Bi Lake Mountain for a hundred years."
He had discussed this with Ling Zixiao earlier and had gathered so information from Patriarch Sima with the Six Desires Heart Demon Technique.
Therefore, while the compensation seed ample, it was within the Sima Family’s capacity to bear.
However, for the Sima Family, this would be like a bloodletting, severely damaging their vitality afterward.
"This is impossible!"
Sima Qiuhua imdiately spoke, her voice sowhat sharp.
Even though she had been at Qingyun Sect for a long ti, she knew that her family could never agree to such compensation.
This compensation was enough to nurture a False Core Immortal or even support soone in attempting Core Formation!
Moreover, she asked her master to intervene in hopes of minimizing the compensation.
Not to ntion, her family would also have to reward her master afterwards.
"Is Lord Lu joking around here? The matter of my junior sister was personally inquired about by my master, who does not wish for it to escalate."
Song Cheng’s face darkened slightly, and he spoke up.
Although his master didn’t give him many details, rely sending him on this trip,
his mistress had instructed him to handle this matter well.
"Is Daoist Song representing Qingyun Sect or representing Red Sun Peak?"
Lu Changsheng detected a hint of threat in the words, his handso face carrying a trace of coldness as he spoke calmly and indifferently.
Lu Changsheng has never been fond of being threatened.
At this mont, a re Foundation Establishnt cultivator was putting on airs in front of him?
If not for being at ho and seeing him as a disciple of Qingyun Sect, he would have smacked him to death long ago.
"Song is representing Red Sun Peak, but also represents Qingyun Sect!"
Song Cheng fixed his gaze on Lu Changsheng, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, lacking the previous politeness.
"If you’re representing Qingyun Sect, then show a decree."
"If there’s no decree, please leave."
Knowing the purpose of their visit, Lu Changsheng couldn’t be bothered with niceties anymore.
After all, the situation won’t make any further progress by continuing the conversation.
It’s better to wait for soone from the Sima Family who truly holds authority to arrive.
As for Qingyun Sect, Red Sun Peak...
He could simply call for reinforcent.
Having Core Formation cultivation now, he wouldn’t need to ask this Caiyun True Immortal for anything major.
It’s better to request a minor favor from her.
And it happens to be through this matter, showcasing an external connection with Qingyun Sect, thereby adding a layer of intimidation. noveℓ
So, your family has backing in Qingyun Sect, huh?
Well, Lu here focuses on forging good relationships long before establishing a family, already having connections within Qingyun Sect!
