I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 628: The decision of Master Tong and his frankness with Lvqiu Qingfeng (5k6, please subscribe)

At the same time that Jishan Sect punished Luqiu Qingfeng.

Xu Wansun, who was defeated on Yuanjun Island, also used the ultra-long-distance teleportation array to return to Xiaohuan Palace slowly.

With a sad look on his face, he walked to the door of a golden palace deep in the Xiaohuan Palace and knelt on his knees.

"I am an unfilial disciple and have brought shame to my master."

The words fell.

The door of the temple opened immediately, revealing an old Taoist priest sitting on a lotus seat with a clear and elegant look.

The old Taoist priest was wearing a purple robe, had white hair and a youthful face, and was holding a whisk, looking like an immortal who had descended to earth.

"This is not your fault. You admitted defeat in time for the sake of the Tao, which shows that you have truly taken my teachings to heart."

Venerable Tong flicked his whisk and said calmly.

"Thank you for your tolerance, Master."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wansun couldn't help but feel guilty. He knelt down and bowed to express his gratitude, then stood up from the ground.

Seeing this, Master Tong nodded slightly and said, "But this matter cannot be let go. You take my decree and go to Yuanjun Island again to kill Lüqiu Yeming."

"Killed Luqiu Yeming?"

Hearing this, Xu Wansun was shocked. This Luqiu Yeming was the former ruler of the Donghua Demon Kingdom and one of the most skilled people in the Luqiu clan.

Before this, he had also met with Venerable Tong and received many courtesies from him.

In his heart, he had always regarded Luqiu Yeming and other high-level members of the Luqiu clan as Master Tong's "in-laws" and did not dare to offend them too much.

Now, Venerable Tong actually ordered to kill Lvqiu Yeming? This is really too hard to believe.

——He, the Luqiu clan, and even the world, all overestimated Master Tong’s tolerance limit for the Luqiu clan.

"If a son is not taught well, it is the fault of his father. Luqiu Qingfeng did something wrong, and his father should bear all the responsibility."

Venerable Tong glanced at Xu Wansun and replied casually.

He was indeed nice to the Luqiu clan, but that didn't mean he was willing to accept being "bullied" by the Luqiu clan.

"Yes, Master."

Hearing this, Xu Wansun was suddenly startled, knowing that Master Tong was really angry, and nodded in response quickly.

"Then... the descendants of Luqiu Yeming?"

Xu Wansun bowed carefully and asked.

To cut the grass, you must remove the roots. Since Venerable Tong has decided to kill Luqiu Yeming and intimidate the Luqiu clan, then the descendants of Luqiu Yeming should also be eliminated.

But what surprised Xu Wansun was.

After hearing this, Venerable Tong did not give him a definite reply. He did not say much, but flicked his whisk and closed the palace door in front of him.

"Disciple understands."

Seeing this scene, Xu Wansun immediately realized and bowed.

The Luqiu clan is the benefactor of Master Tong. Killing Luqiu Yeming is to "punish the crime", and Master Tong can issue an order.

But...if we slaughter Luqiu Yeming's descendants, it would be like repaying kindness with enmity.

Therefore, this sin can only be borne by him!

……

After "imprisoning" Luqiu Qingfeng in the prison of the Law Enforcement Hall, Wei Tu was not in a hurry to fulfill his promise and take away Luqiu Qingfeng's Yuan Yin.

He planned to maximize the effectiveness of this Yuan Yin and let it help him break through to the "peak" of the late Yuanying stage in one fell swoop.

And want to achieve this step.

It is inevitable to practice a dual cultivation method together.

All of this takes some time.

Although Wei Tu is under time pressure now, he obviously has no shortage of time to practice dual cultivation techniques with Luqiu Qingfeng.

time flies.

Soon, it was half a year later.

This is the day when the high-level meeting would be held as mentioned by Sect Leader Zhu.

"What? Increase the time Palace Master Wei spends in the Chongyan Secret Land practicing?"

As soon as the topic was raised, there were many different opinions.

Considering the interests of the sect, in order to increase the success rate of drawing the "Double Golden Tripod Talisman", the time Wei Tu spends practicing in the Chongyan Secret Land should be increased.

But we don’t worry about scarcity but about inequality.

The “Double Golden Tripod Talisman” is important, but which one of the senior executives of the older generation present here has not made great contributions?
Is it appropriate to increase the number of images only for Wei Tu and not for them?

Moreover, the issue of Wei Tu's origin alone is worthy of their serious discussion.

"In that case..."

"Then let's just leave it at that."

Sect Leader Zhu did not insist, but directly followed the opinions of the sect's top leaders and rejected the issue.

The same is true for Wei Tu.

From the beginning to the end of the topic, he did not express his opinion and remained silent.

He did not think that, given Zhu Zongzhu's cleverness, he would not reward him for his merits, thus causing him to become alienated from him.

Now, being denied by the top management is just the beginning.

He just needs to wait for Master Zhu to continue "performing".

as predicted.

Just as Wei Tu expected.

After the high-level meeting, Sect Leader Zhu summoned him and his direct subordinates including Zhuang Shou to the side hall to discuss the matter separately.

"Palace Master Wei has made great contributions and deserves a reward. But the high-ranking officials in the sect have rejected this proposal... I can't bear it..."

Sect Leader Zhu glanced at all the cultivators and spoke slowly.

"I have decided to give up the three years of cultivation time that our sect master's lineage has in the Chongyan Secret Land to Palace Master Wei. Do you agree?"

All the cultivators present, except for Wei Tu and Zhuang Shou, were cultivators from the sect master's lineage. After hearing this, they looked at each other for a while and then nodded in agreement.

Although they did not agree with this matter, they had to agree since Sect Leader Zhu was the one in charge.

Furthermore, this is also the "public" property of the clan leader's lineage. To them personally, the loss or gain is not obvious.

"This is a favor from our sect master's lineage to Palace Master Wei. It is reasonable that the talisman in Palace Master Wei's hand should be traded with the cultivators of our sect master's lineage first..."

Sect Leader Zhu said again.

Hearing this, the expressions of the sect master's disciples, who had looked unhappy just now, immediately relaxed.

The talisman trading is big business.

After their clan leader's lineage obtains this benefit, it will be enough to make up for the public property they gave up in order to "win over Weitu".

The loss is public.

The benefits are personal to them.

How could they disagree or be dissatisfied?

"Wei agrees."

Wei Tu replied at the right time.

Although Sect Leader Zhu did not inform him in advance about this concession, since it was beneficial to him, he naturally would not be stupid enough to refute Sect Leader Zhu.

However, he did not express too much or "flatter" Master Zhu, and remained reserved.

He knew the principle that "things smell good from a distance but smell bad up close."

If he was truly accepted as a "confidant" by Sect Leader Zhu, it is uncertain whether Sect Leader Zhu would still be so kind to him now.

Just like Zhuang Shou now...

Although Sect Leader Zhu was relatively close to him, his ability to win him over was undoubtedly far inferior to his.

After discussing the matter, Sect Leader Zhu did not say anything else important and waved his hand for the cultivators to leave.

However, when the party was about to end, Sect Leader Zhu sent a message asking Wei Tu to stay behind alone.

Wei Tu was not too surprised by this. After all, Sect Leader Zhu had already shown an attitude of trying to win him over, so it was not surprising that he wanted to have a private talk with him.

In the secular world, it was common for military officers to sleep with their feet together in order to win over their subordinates.

But then, as Sect Master Zhu spoke...

He couldn't help but be shocked.

"Master, are you saying that... Luqiu Yeming was executed by Venerable Tong?" Wei Tu looked stunned.

He thought that Venerable Tong would punish the Luqiu clan, but he never thought that he would be so cruel.

After all, according to Luqiu Qingfeng, Master Tong is a relatively kind person and will not punish the Luqiu clan too much.

But now... he actually issued an order to kill Luqiu Yeming.

You must know that Luqiu Yeming is the king of the Donghua Demon Kingdom and the spiritual symbol of the Luqiu clan for thousands of years.

In addition, Luqiu Yeming is also a master at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

It is a bit absurd that a powerful person...just sits there and is easily executed.

"The majesty of the Venerable cannot be offended."

"My Jishan Sect also tacitly approves of this matter."

Sect Leader Zhu did not answer Wei Tu's words. He shook his head and said this in a slightly regretful tone.

Although Luqiu Yeming had no close relationship with him, Luqiu Yeming's death also made him feel sad.

Although he was the last disciple of Venerable Han Yue and had always been favored by him, this could not change the fact that if he could not become a Venerable, his life would be controlled by others.

In front of Wei Tu and others, he is a high and mighty master of a sect, admired by thousands of people, but in front of Master Han Yue, he is the one who is humble and submissive.

After sighing, Sect Leader Zhu gathered his distracting thoughts and said to Wei Tu in a serious tone, "Palace Leader Wei, Lvqiu Yeming's death is also related to you. Now that you have taken Lvqiu Qingfeng as your concubine... you must handle this matter properly..."

"Otherwise, you will suffer for the rest of your life."

Normally, he would not interfere too much in the family affairs of his subordinates, but Wei Tu was different. He was an extremely rare "Master of Talismans" in the Jishan Sect and even in the Guixu Sea cultivation world.

Naturally, he didn't want to do that. Wei Tu was defeated by Luqiu Qingfeng because of this little thing.

"Wei knows."

Wei Tu nodded, indicating that he understood.

If Luqiu Qingfeng didn't understand this matter, she would definitely regard him as the "enemy who killed her father". After all, it was he who caused this tragedy step by step, causing Luqiu Qingfeng and Luqiu Yeming to be separated forever. Without him, Luqiu Yeming would not have died.

"If necessary, Luqiu Qingfeng can be executed!"

When Sect Leader Zhu saw that Wei Tu understood, he hesitated for a moment and then gave Wei Tu the privilege of "killing" Luqiu Qingfeng.

……

Wei Tu is naturally not an indecisive person.

However, he was hesitating whether or not to tell Luqiu Qingfeng about this.

After all, Luqiu Qingfeng is currently being "confined" by him for protection, and has no channels to receive information from the outside world.

This time, if Sect Master Zhu had not told him, he would have had no idea that such a tragic thing had happened in the Luqiu clan.

The same thing happened to Luqiu Qingfeng. There was no way this woman could bypass him and know about this.

Therefore, as long as he concealed the matter properly, there was no way this woman would know anything about this matter before he achieved the Divine Transformation Realm.

Luqiu Qingfeng Yuanyin...

Heavy Rock Secret Place...

These two are the key for him to break through the Spiritual Transformation Realm within the past 150 years, and he cannot afford to lose them!
From a rational point of view, he must conceal the death of Luqiu Yeming.

Because Luqiu Qingfeng's attitude is unpredictable.

If this girl doesn't understand and bears a grudge against him, then his 150-year plan to become a god will surely fail and will be delayed for decades.

If Luqiu Qingfeng was a stranger, like the Tuoshan Demon King back then, he would have no psychological burden in deceiving her, but the key point was that this woman was not.

Although he did not have much affection for this woman, he could see that she trusted him from the bottom of her heart.

Otherwise, this woman would not have confessed her guilt in front of Dugu Tian, ​​followed him all the way to Jishan Sect, and been imprisoned in the prison of the Law Enforcement Hall.

but--

The consequences of becoming a god late are too severe.

He did not want to see his only son being imprisoned and dying.

"Let's talk first."

After thinking for a long time, Wei Tu sighed and made a decision.

At the beginning, the reason why he let Wei Changshou stay in Yingding tribe instead of taking him away was largely because he wanted him to take on the responsibilities of being the "Right Wise King".

Wei Xiuwen stayed with Wei Changshou in Yingding tribe and also assumed the responsibility of being his biological father.

Now, if he were to go against his promise and conceal the death of his father Luqiu Yeming from Luqiu Qingfeng in order to rescue his only son Wei Xiuwen in advance... then, in turn, it would also be a disgrace to Wei Xiuwen's willingness to die in order to protect his offspring.

If Wei Xiuwen were here, he would most likely not agree. He would betray his "friend" for the sake of temporary gain.

After thinking about this, Wei Tu couldn't help but shook his head.

At this moment, he actually began to hope that Luqiu Qingfeng's previous "cold-heartedness" was not just an act.

——There is the cruelty of killing one’s sister, and there is also the cold-heartedness of watching one’s own father being killed without feeling any hatred.

……

After leaving the main hall, Wei Tu first returned to the Merit Hall and ordered the spiritual chef to prepare a table of spiritual food. He also took out two bottles of Seven Immortals Wine from Feng Han's previous private collection.

After making these preparations, he fled in a flash and came to Tieshou Peak where Luqiu Qingfeng was imprisoned.

"Has Brother Wei figured it out today? Are you planning to have sex with me today and take my red pill?"

Seeing Wei Tu taking out plates of delicious spiritual food from the food box, Luqiu Qingfeng raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking that something was unusual, so she smiled softly and asked tentatively.

As a member of the royal family, although she knew a lot about the relationship between men and women and had once said in front of Wei Tu that "I would like to have a good time with Wei Tu Yan", she had no experience in actually doing it and was not well prepared.

Hearing this, Wei Tu shook his head.

Then, he looked directly at the faint Lvqiu Qingfeng in front of him and said in a deep voice, "I came here this time because I have something important to tell the princess."

Having said that, he did not keep the audience in suspense. After a brief pause, he directly told the story that Luqiu Yeming was executed by order of Venerable Tong.

The words fell.

Wei Tu clearly felt it. Luqiu Qingfeng's body stiffened for a moment and his expression looked slightly ugly.

But all this is fleeting.

Then, the girl gently uttered "Oh", as if she didn't care at all.

This scene was beyond Wei Tu's expectations.

He originally thought that Luqiu Qingfeng was either cold-hearted and acted as if she didn't care and pretended to cry, or acted as if she cared and was truly sad about the death of her biological father.

But he never thought that this woman seemed to care at first, and then acted as if she didn't care much.

"The king was killed by Venerable Tong. Doesn't the princess want to avenge her father?" Wei Tu tested.

"How do you avenge your father?"

"Now, Brother Wei has imprisoned me here, preparing to humiliate me in the future."

Luqiu Qingfeng teased, looking like she didn't care at all.

At this point, it was difficult for Wei Tu to continue.

He frowned slightly and simply pointed it out, "Don't you, the princess, hate me for this? Hate me for making you surrender to Jishan Sect, which led to the provocation of Master Tong, who ordered the killing of your father?"

While speaking, Wei Tu stared at Luqiu Qingfeng out of the corner of his eye, trying to detect any clues from his face.

As he said this.

The smile on Luqiu Qingfeng's face quickly disappeared. It was no longer as bright as before, but rather a little gloomy.

"Friend Wei, do you think I am the kind of foolish woman who takes her anger out on others?"

At this time, Luqiu Qingfeng said with a grim expression.

Wei Tu was stunned, then shook his head.

Luqiu Qingfeng was chosen by the Luqiu clan as the future leader, although she had his support, but this woman was not a hopeless person, her abilities and character were definitely beyond those of ordinary people.

This woman is definitely not a stupid woman.

However, the so-called venting one's anger on others has nothing to do with whether one is wise or not. It is just an amplification of anger.

Therefore, Luqiu Qingfeng's words were not enough to dispel Wei Tu's doubts.

Wei Tu was still looking at Luqiu Qingfeng, waiting for the woman's next words.

Seeing that Wei Tu didn't believe her, Luqiu Qingfeng also felt helpless. She was no longer as angry as before and said with a bitter smile:

"Friend Wei, do you think that there is any father-daughter relationship between us royal family members? For this marriage, do you think that my father and grandfather don't know... the dangers involved? The danger of being targeted by the Jishan Sect?"

Before Wei Tu arrived, she chose to acquiesce and even agree to the marriage with Dugu Tian.

But this kind of approval is not real approval.

She had no right to refuse.

It was not until Wei Tu appeared that she saw another possibility.

The reason she initially chose Wei Tu was not because she thought Wei Tu's future would be better than Dugu Tian's, but because she believed that Wei Tu was trustworthy compared to the unfamiliar Dugu Tian.

"Getting married is the duty of a princess, but being indifferent to the death of her biological father is also her right as a princess!"

Luqiu Qingfeng's eyes were slightly cold as he spoke his true feelings.

After hearing this, Wei Tu completely understood Luqiu Qingfeng's thoughts. The reason why this woman had no feelings about Luqiu Yeming's death was not because she was cold-hearted, but because she had no family affection at all.

It is absurd to extend this kind of father-daughter relationship to the royal family and the world of immortal cultivation.

The father-daughter relationship between Luqiu Qingfeng and Luqiu Yeming is probably similar to that between him and the Wei clan members several generations later. From beginning to end, there is not much.

However, he thought that this girl had probably hoped for this kind of father-daughter relationship, but after being ignored by Luqiu Yeming time and time again... her love turned into hate.

"Otherwise, why would this girl feel fearful of Luqiu Jinyuan?" Wei Tu pondered secretly.

Before and after Luqiu Qingfeng came to power, Luqiu Yeming and Luqiu Renwang both valued Luqiu Qingfeng to a certain extent.

But valuing is different from feeling.

Compared with the latter, the former comes with certain expectations and is more like investing for profit.

There is respect but no emotion...

Today, what Luqiu Yeming has gained is that his daughter Luqiu Qingfeng does not care about his death.

"Wei understands."

"Yes...I am too suspicious."

After sorting out his thoughts, Wei Tu apologized to Luqiu Qingfeng.

"apologize?"

Seeing this scene, Luqiu Qingfeng, who was dissatisfied because of Wei Tu's suspicion, was stunned.

She couldn't imagine that Wei Tu, the "superior", was willing to apologize to her, the "inferior"?
Before, when they were equals, it was normal for Wei Tu to apologize to her, but now, she was just a "prisoner" of Wei Tu.

However, she didn't know that there were few arrogant people like Wei Tu who had reached such a high position, not to mention that Wei Tu also had some Blue Star ideas.

In terms of status, he would enjoy being the de facto "superior", but ideologically, he would not think that the "inferior" should be humble.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wei."

Luqiu Qingfeng's eyes were gentle. She raised her head and glanced at Wei Tu briefly, then spoke in a mosquito-like voice.

If we say that she was willing to "apologize" to Jishan Sect in front of Dugu Tian before, it was an act she was forced to do, and she was also optimistic about Wei Tu's future.

But afterwards, in front of the King of Luqiu, he decided to follow Wei Tu's footsteps and enter Jishan Sect, which meant... he had certain emotional expectations for Wei Tu.

Fortunately, she didn't bet on the wrong thing.

Even though she was at a disadvantage, Wei Tu did not bully her.

"Bullying?" Thinking of this, Luqiu Qingfeng's beautiful face suddenly blushed. She thought of the secret play pictures in the dual cultivation classics.

But Wei Tu didn't think so much.

After testing Luqiu Qingfeng, he breathed a sigh of relief after finding out that this woman was indeed not stupid and blamed him for Luqiu Yeming's death.

"Drink wine and eat food."

Wei Tu pushed the spiritual food in the food box in front of Luqiu Qingfeng.

"Hmm!" Luqiu Qingfeng nodded slightly, did not refuse, picked up the jade chopsticks and started eating.

Neither of them noticed.

After being so frank with each other, the atmosphere between them became a little quieter and not as talkative as before, but there was an invisible increase in ambiguity between them.

Wait until the two pots of Seven Immortals Wine are finished.

Luqiu Qingfeng, with a flushed face, was lying in Wei Tu's arms, their lips and teeth touching and their ears rubbing against each other.
