"Lu Wangshu, how dare you spout nonsense here, slandering our Patriarch!"
"If it weren’t for your Lu Family setting up a formation to ambush, our Patriarch could easily suppress your elder brother Lu Ping’an with a flick of his finger!"
The burly man’s face turned ashen, like a pig’s liver, and he shouted loudly.
If he weren’t no match for Lu Wangshu, he would have already attacked him to defend his own family’s honor.
"How am I slandering? Wasn’t it a fact that your Patriarch was suppressed by my brother like a hunted dog?"
Lu Wangshu’s long hair was silky, and his clothes fluttered gracefully, looking beautiful and demure as he spoke calmly.
"That was because of the formation ambush!"
"Your Patriarch was beaten by my brother like a dead dog."
"If it were a fair fight, our Patriarch would certainly have easily killed your brother Lu Ping’an!"
"Your Patriarch was beaten by my brother like a dead dog."
"Our Patriarch was ambushed by the formation, causing damage to his magical treasures, so..."
"Your Patriarch was beaten by my brother like a dead dog."
The Sima family cultivator was practically collapsing.
No matter what he said, Lu Wangshu simply responded with a light remark.
The cultivators watching this scene exchanged glances silently.
No one had expected that two dignified Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators would argue in such a manner.
However, after today’s incident, it’s likely that the matter of Patriarch Sima won’t be easily brushed aside, and anyone could use this phrase to mock them.
Lu Wangshu looked at the Sima family cultivator whose eyes were red and face looked like a pig’s liver and suddenly said, "What, do you want to fight?"
"For me to fight with you would be too bullying, and I doubt you even have the guts."
"This is my brother. If you can take one of his strikes, I will retract my words and apologize to the Sima family."
"If you can’t even withstand one strike from my brother, then there’s nothing more to say. e with me, and wait for your family to e and ransom you."
Lu Wangshu’s beautiful eyes sparkled as he winked at Lu Qingshan with his clear, bright eyes.
The Spirit Tiger Association, though a Foundation Establishment force, didn’t have much liquid assets on paper.
It’s better to hold several Foundation Establishment members from the Sima family for ransom.
"Heh."
Lu Qingshan found Lu Wangshu’s behavior somewhat amusing.
He hadn’t expected that the sister he remembered as cute and obedient when young, who seemed gentle and graceful like a lady from a noble family, also had such a ’playful’ side.
However... this personality was quite to his liking.
Sister Lu Qingzhu was overly calm, fearing to cause him trouble or draw trouble upon herself.
She usually wouldn’t even confide in him despite being wronged.
If this sister were swapped in...
Hmm, this sister would likely get into trouble every few days.
"Alright!"
The Sima family cultivator, despite some hesitation and suspicion of a trick, still agreed immediately.
After all, his cultivation level was Fifth Layer of Foundation Establishment.
He didn’t believe he couldn’t withstand even one strike from Lu Qingshan!
Moreover, the other party insulted his Patriarch so brazenly and issued such a humiliating challenge; if he didn’t dare accept, he’d be ridiculed for life.
Even the entire family might be shamed and bee a laughingstock.
If he took that strike, making Lu Wangshu apologize, it would redeem some face.
And in such a public setting, he wasn’t afraid of Lu Wangshu going back on his word.
If she reneged, she would bring disgrace to Bi Lake Mountain!
"Take one strike? Could this Fairy Lu be speaking carelessly?"
"Indeed, this person named Sima Wenkong has a sixth level Foundation Establishment cultivation; how could he fail to take even one strike?"
"Perhaps a moment of haste led to a misspoken word."
"By the way, who is this person? Also a member of the Lu family? How e I’ve never seen him?"
This discussion filled the audience of cultivators with intrigue and speculation.
Meanwhile, Qiao Dayuan and Luo Mei on the Spirit Boat remained silent and observant.
They had witnessed Lu Qingshan’s power earlier.
Withstand one strike?
They felt that if Lu Qingshan intended to kill, he could strike Sima Wenkong down in one blow.
"No bat is allowed here!"
The Qingyun Sect’s law enforcement cultivator saw this and immediately reprimanded coldly.
Although outside the marketplace, fights still weren’t allowed.
"If you dare, then e on."
Lu Wangshu, aware of the marketplace’s rules, gave Sima Wenkong a disinterested glance.
Then, he addressed the other cultivators watching, "Fellow Daoists are wele to witness this. I, Lu Wangshu, always keep my word!"
"Hiss, this Fairy Talisman seems quite confident."
"Even if she misspoke, she can’t show any weakness now."
"Indeed, the greater the pressure, the more one must appear assured!"
These cultivators, seeing Lu Wangshu’s graceful and otherworldly demeanor, whispered to themselves.
Still, they couldn’t believe Sima Wenkong couldn’t withstand a single strike from Lu Qingshan.
"Hmph, Lu Wangshu must be bluffing!"
Sima Wenkong glanced at Lu Qingshan.
Clad in a green robe, with nothing remarkable besides good looks and sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.
Summoning up his courage, he said, "Bring it on!"
Then he turned to the other cultivators to say, "Fellow Daoists can e to witness this!"
Lu Wangshu’s lips slightly curled into a charming smile as he directed the Green Jade Spirit Boat carrying Luo Mei, Qiao Dayuan, and others away.
Lu Qingshan played along with this sister’s performance, fetching a captured flying sword from his storage ring and riding it.
Sima Changkong immediately followed them on a flying shuttle artifact.
Some of the spectators nearby, seeing this, took out flying swords, artifacts, or spiritual bird mounts to join the spectacle.
Some cultivators even released spirit boats, selling seats to make some Spirit Stones.
....
After leaving Red Dawn Market for several miles, Lu Wangshu’s Green Jade Spirit Boat descended.
Sima Wenkong, following closely, also descended from his flying artifact, looking solemnly at Lu Wangshu and Lu Qingshan.
