The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

"It is said that this Senior Sister Lingyin's musical skills are both beautiful and terrifying."

"The previous senior disciple initially gained the upper hand with his perfected ninth level of Qi Refining cultivation, but after those first few moves, he couldn't even touch him!"

"In the end, we ran out of spiritual energy and had no choice but to admit defeat!"

"I reckon I'll definitely win the title of Senior Sister of the Outer Sect by the time the Outer Sect Conference officially starts at the end of the year!"

"Then, with the Foundation Establishment Pills awarded by the sect, I'll soar to new heights!"

Seeing that the two had finished their conversation, Lu Changfeng finally handed over their belongings to the other party.

"Here you are, customers. Here's what you wanted. Welcome to visit us again."

After they left, Lu Changfeng sat down and began to ponder.

Although his cultivation level is currently at the late stage of Qi Refining, he has never fought anyone. So he can handle ordinary late-stage Qi Refining opponents, but he might not be able to handle true geniuses or those cunning old foxes.

It seems he needs to find a way to make up for his lack of combat experience.

Perhaps we can wait for Old Deng to come back and serve as his sparring partner. Even if I show my true strength then, they won't be worried, they'll only be happy.

"Mei Wu, get out here right now!"

Lu Changfeng, who was deep in thought, was suddenly interrupted by this shout.

Then he saw Xie Zhixing sneak up to his side.

"Xiao Feng, what's going on? Have those local forces made their move again?"

"Uncle Xie, what makes you think I know these things?"

"Nonsense! Weren't you chatting happily with the second manager just now? Maybe you had some inside information!"

"You overestimate me. But judging from the sounds, it doesn't seem like local forces are making a move! Shall we go take a look?"

"Go take a look!"

The two of them immediately grabbed their teacups and headed to the corridor opposite Linggu's counter.

The window here isn't very close to the door, but if you look through the window, you can still get a clear view of what's happening at the door, which is perfect for watching the gossip.

Besides them, several people from the neighboring counters also came out to watch the commotion from their windows.

There's no way around it. Normally, the commotion among cultivators is too dangerous, and a fight might break out at any moment. But this is the Luoyun Merchant Guild, so if they encounter danger here, there's no point in running away.

Soon the sound came from the doorway again.

"Mei Wu, you dare to do it but not admit it?"

"You heartless bastard, come out here!"

With the woman's shouts, a large number of daring onlookers immediately gathered around, their faces filled with excitement.

They've seen plenty of scandals involving ordinary people, but this is the first time they've seen scandals involving cultivators.

However, the name sounded surprisingly familiar to Lu Changfeng.

"Uncle Xie, doesn't that name sound familiar?"

However, Xie Zhixing couldn't help but laugh.

"That name does sound familiar. Wasn't it Mei Wu, the guy who told the sales clerk to make the purchases at the meeting?"

After he said that, Lu Changfeng finally remembered.

"Wow, this person hasn't resigned yet?"

Because of this guy's suggestion, many people in the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce resigned. He thought this guy would also resign, but he didn't expect him to stay.

As he was pondering, a late-stage Qi Refining squad leader from the guard team emerged from the mall. Upon seeing the woman, he immediately drew his broadsword, pointed it at her, and then shouted,

"I don't care who you are, you're disrupting the mall's normal operations. Get out of here, or you're dead!"

While it's generally true that you can't take action in Tianxing City, this situation is definitely unusual!

The woman in front of him was only at the second level of Qi Refining, and he, at the seventh level of Qi Refining, could kill her without breaking a sweat.

If this woman continues like this after hearing the warning, she will undoubtedly die.

But Liu Shuang had clearly anticipated this, and immediately took out a jade token representing the identity of a disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect.

"I am Liu Shuang, a disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect."

"I'm here today just to seek justice. My husband is Mei Wu. I saved my resources for him, which is why I only reached the second level of Qi Refining after ten years of cultivation. I thought we could support each other through thick and thin."

"I never imagined this beast would seduce other women! And he even tried to abandon me and my daughter!"

"Ha, so you wanted to climb the social ladder? I'll let everyone know you're a heartless, treacherous bastard! I want to see if you'll still be allowed to climb this ladder under these circumstances!"

Upon hearing her explanation, Lu Changfeng suddenly understood.

Mei Wu's situation is indeed shameful, but it's also quite normal. Among cultivators, strength is paramount, and there are countless people who will stop at nothing to advance their cultivation.

Abandoning one's wife and daughter is nothing serious.

It's just that Liu Shuang couldn't accept it, which is why she made a scene.

But now he was more curious about who Mei Wu had set his sights on, that he could make Mei Wu so decisively abandon his wife and daughter.

"Oh, I see! Uncle Xie, do you know who Mei Wu has his eye on?"

Xie Zhixing shook his head. Helpless, Lu Changfeng had no choice but to continue watching.

However, at this moment, the squad leader in front of Liu Shuang was sweating profusely.

Anyone else in the room could kill this woman without consequence, but not him.

After all, this is the foot of the Tianxing Sect. For someone from the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce to dare to kill their disciple in public is not just murder, but trampling the face of the Tianxing Sect underfoot.

Just as the situation was about to reach a stalemate, the second manager, Su Qingzhu, slowly descended from the sky.

Upon seeing this situation, he immediately asked the squad leader for clarification.

"What happened?"

The squad leader breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the second manager, then cupped his hands and recounted everything he had seen.

Upon hearing his words, Su Qingzhu immediately turned her gaze to the female cultivator in front of her.

"As a woman, I understand how you feel. I'll call the person out later for a face-to-face confrontation!"

"Leave this place as soon as this is over, but if you're still not satisfied, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shuang nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you so much, senior!"

Mei Wu was quickly dragged out of the mall, and in an instant he felt countless eyes on him.

Su Qingzhu snorted coldly as soon as she saw him.

"You need to sort out your own problems now, or don't come back!"

After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.

Seeing that the second manager had left, Mei Wu looked at the woman in front of him with a face full of anger.

"You crazy woman, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Can't you talk about this at home?"

As a powerful cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, he found it extremely difficult to accept being ridiculed.

From a young age, he had always thought that cultivators were superior, but now that he had become a cultivator himself, he was being humiliated like this. Who could tolerate that?

"Pah! How could you not feel ashamed after abandoning your wife and daughter!"

"Now you realize how shameful you are, but it's too late!"

"Who is that woman? Tell me in front of everyone now. I want to see what kind of power would accept an ingrate like you!"

For a moment, many people stared intently at Mei Wu, eager to know who the other protagonist was who had caused such a big incident!
