I create patterns, regardless of your level of expertise.

Yang Lu clearly rarely smiles, because his smile now looks stiff.

But that's normal. The Elder in charge of punishments is strict and demanding, and he can't tolerate any wrongdoing. What kind of person would be smiling all the time?

Song Baicheng was somewhat wary, after all, the Qingyun Sect had sent a Core Formation expert to deal with Tang Yunxuan's matter, which showed that they at least supported her.

Regarding this matter, the two sides should be enemies at this moment. Now that the enemy has come knocking, how can they not think things through?

At this moment, looking at Yang Lu's smiling face, Song Baicheng felt a sudden, inexplicable panic.

Fortunately, he remained calm and composed, and greeted her with clasped hands.

"Elder Yang, I have long admired your name."

"May I ask what brings you here today?"

To Yang Lu, Song Baicheng's strength was nothing more than an ant that could be easily destroyed, but Yang Lu still had to put on a smiling face.

"Senior Li Hao sent me here."

Upon hearing that it was Li Hao, Song Baicheng calmed down considerably, and the smile on his face finally became more genuine.

"I see. Elder Yang, please come in quickly."

He adopted the proper etiquette for a host and invited Yang Lu into the house.

Upon arriving at the main hall, Song Baicheng ordered tea to be served, and everyone took their seats.

Then he asked, "Elder Yang, what is it that has made you come all this way?"

Yang Lu first praised the tea, and then said, "It is like this, Senior Li Hao has arranged a marriage between the Qingyun Sect and the Song family."

"May I ask, is Song Yushu's younger brother named Song Yuqi?"

The very first sentence left Song Baicheng stunned.

Marriage?

Wasn't Li Hao the one who went to cause trouble? How did it all turn into a marriage proposal in such a muddled way?

And judging from this, it seems that it was actually intended for Yuqi?

After a few seconds of silence, Song Baicheng asked, "May I ask, whose marriage is Yuqi engaged to?"

Yang Lu smiled and said, "Naturally, it's about the marriage between Song Yuqi and our sect leader Shen Lingyan."

"puff!"

Shen Baicheng immediately spat out a mouthful of tea.

"Who?!"

Fortunately, Yang Lu had anticipated this and casually raised a light screen to block out all the water stains.

"Shen Lingyan, Sect Master of Qingyun Sect." He repeated, then took a deep breath, "This is a marriage arranged by Senior Li Hao. We cannot object, so it's better to accept it."

"However, our sect leader is indeed a dragon among men. He has already reached the peak of the Core Formation stage at just over two hundred years old. Such talent would be considered the best in the Yue Kingdom today."

"I'd like to see just how worthy someone is of being worthy of the sect leader."

Although his tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction, he himself admitted that he couldn't refuse; he was simply curious and wanted to see for himself.

Song Baicheng silently wiped the water from the corner of his mouth and ordered someone to call Song Yuqi over.

Soon, Song Yuqi arrived.

"father."

Song Baicheng nodded slightly, then looked at Yang Lu: "Elder Yang, this is Song Yuqi."

Without Song Baicheng needing to remind him, his gaze fell on Song Yuqi the moment she entered.

He looks very young, probably no older than thirty. As for his current cultivation level... the fifth level of the Spirit Tribulation Realm, his aptitude is quite good.

But he's not very polite. Why is he still eating candy when he's out meeting guests?

and many more.

Not redeemable!

"This, this is... Pei Ling Dan?!"

The slight disdain on Yang Lu's face was instantly replaced by terror!

Song Yuqi was still clueless and somewhat confused. She said, "It is indeed the Peiling Pill. This senior has a good eye... Would you like one?"

Of course, this was just a polite gesture; Yang Lu wouldn't actually give it to him if he really wanted it.

But that's not the point at all! Who would treat a fourth-grade pill like candy? Even a sect as powerful as the Qingyun Sect wouldn't waste it like that!

Such pills are only available to disciples at the inner sect level and above, and are typically bestowed by the sect only during the critical period of breaking through the spiritual tribulation and opening the meridians.

Yang Lu was dumbfounded; he had never seen anything like this before!

Seeing his shocked expression, Song Baicheng was secretly delighted, but he coughed twice and pretended to scold him, "Yuqi, we're meeting guests, what kind of behavior is this?"

Song Yuqi said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do, Father. Time is tight and the task is heavy, so I can only make the most of every moment to eat."

As he spoke, he popped another one into his mouth and chewed it vigorously.

Now that his elder brother is gone, and Senior Li Hao will eventually leave, he will have to support the family from now on.

Then why not take advantage of Li Hao's presence and the unlimited supply of pills to eat as much as you want?

He added, "It just doesn't taste very good; I'm getting a little tired of it."

When Yang Lu came to his senses and heard these words, he almost vomited blood.

This is a fourth-grade elixir!

For an ordinary person to get even one is incredibly lucky, something to be overjoyed about, and you're here complaining about the taste?!

Suppressing the urge to curse, Yang Lu suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Wait, with your current level of cultivation, how can your body withstand such a massive dose of medicinal power?"

Song Yuqi said nonchalantly, "I can't handle it."

Yang Lu's eyes widened in surprise.

You can't even handle it and you still eat it?!

I was just thinking about it.

Suddenly, Song Yuqi let out a muffled groan, and three streaks of hot, bright red blood slowly flowed from his mouth and nose.

His originally steady breathing suddenly became extremely chaotic and rapidly declined.

In the blink of an eye, Song Yuqi's vision went black and he collapsed to the ground.

Yang Lu: !!!

Don't die now!

If you die, won't Li Hao be furious?

Yang Lu was so shocked that he almost jumped up from his seat. He rushed to Song Yuqi's side and helped him sit up. At the same time, he pressed on Song Yuqi's pulse point and poured spiritual energy into him as if it were free, desperately trying to keep him alive.

Seeing that Song Baicheng was still sitting there calmly, he lost his temper and yelled, "You're still sitting there? Your second son is about to die!"

Song Baicheng didn't know how to explain it to him. After all, the Undying Totem belonged to Li Hao, so how could he tell others without asking?

He could only say, "Don't worry, Elder, he'll be fine."

In just two sentences, Song Yuqi was already exhausted.

He looked at Yang Lu with a complicated expression, his mouth slightly open as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything. He could only use his last bit of strength to push Yang Lu away.

Yang Lu felt his head buzzing. What did it mean to push him away? Could it be that he didn't want Li Hao to take his anger out on him because of his death?

Sigh! What a kind heart, but why did she have to be so foolish as to consume so many pills? Wasn't that just courting death?

Yang Lu's eyes were filled with regret, and just then, a shattering sound rang out.

After the sound, Song Yuqi, who had been on the verge of death, suddenly became lively and energetic again!

Song Yuqi was both helpless and speechless, and gave Yang Lu a slightly resentful look: "Elder Yang, if you don't transfer spiritual power to me, I can suffer less."

At this moment, Yang Lu felt like an idiot.
