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

Chapter 56 I Know

At night, Lu Changfeng and Lu Rou walked down the street, both unexpectedly falling silent.

At this moment, the stars twinkled in the sky, and cultivators occasionally streaked across the night. Moonlight shone on the leaves of the trees by the roadside, creating a rustling sound.

Finally, the two stopped at the boundary between the inner and outer gates.

"Sis, you should go back. Even though you're in the sect, it's still a bit dangerous at night!"

Although the Heavenly Star Sect is a righteous sect, no one can guarantee absolute safety. Who knows when a crazy cultivator might suddenly appear, and it will be too late to regret it then.

"Um!"

Lu Rou remained silent for a while, then seemed to have made some kind of decision.

"Don't blame your parents! They didn't want this to happen either!"

He certainly understood what Lu Rou meant.

"Yes, I know!"

"You guessed it?"

Lu Rou obviously did not deny it.

"I've guessed pretty much it!"

"From the matter with my fiancé before, to asking you to take care of the child today, they trust you too much!"

"Although I don't know the specifics, my parents aren't stupid; they must have their reasons for doing this!"

"If you ever need anything in the future, feel free to come to me, no matter what the circumstances!"

Lu Changfeng did not object to this, and nodded to indicate that he understood.

On his way back on his little motorcycle, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but sigh.

On the surface, today's events were about the elderly couple being unable to care for their child due to their spiritual practice, but in reality, they were worried about something suddenly happening to them in the future.

After all, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator's rampage destroyed the entire Tianxing City; what if it were even stronger? It's simply unimaginable.

Therefore, they wanted to cultivate a certain relationship with the child beforehand, so that even if something unexpected happened to the elderly couple, the child would at least not end up on the streets because of this relationship.

They were able to entrust the child to them with peace of mind precisely because they knew his personality.

As for why it's not stated explicitly, it's probably because this approach is too cold!

I thought I'd be staying home and resting until I went back to work, but then something unexpected happened.

Clang!

"Lu Lao Er, are you up yet?"

The next moment, Lu Rou kicked open her bedroom door with a loud bang and stared straight at Lu Changfeng, who was still sleeping.

Then, with a mysterious smile, he yanked the blanket off him.

But the next moment, Lu Changfeng, who had been lying in bed asleep, suddenly opened his eyes. He smiled slightly, and a water sphere appeared out of thin air, enveloping her inside.

"Spin me around!"

The water sphere enveloping Lu Rou immediately began to spin wildly.

Lu Rou, who had intended to use her abilities to escape her restraints, was suddenly caught in a spinning motion.

Glug! Glug! Glug!

"Lu Lao Er, let me go, glug glug,"

"Sister was wrong, glug glug! Sister promises she'll never pull your blanket again, please let me go! glug glug!"

Seeing this, Lu Changfeng's lips curled up slightly.

Wow, I thought she was a cool and aloof girl, but she turned out to be a hilarious one!

After a while, Lu Rou sat on the sofa and looked at her bratty younger brother with a resentful expression.

"Now I finally understand why Mom and Dad trusted you so much. How could a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment be unable to escape your methods? You must have reached Foundation Establishment, right?!"

Although she did not unleash her full power, the sturdiness of the water sphere alone was enough to prove that her strength was at least at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Lu Changfeng did not hide this fact, after all, his current cultivation level was the least important aspect.

"More or less!"

Hearing this, Lu Rou became even angrier, but she quickly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, you little rascal, you're a genius, it's just a pity you didn't live to see this opportunity!"

"If you had been born a few years later, you would definitely have been even more amazing!"

"But now I reckon you'll be swept into the dustbin of history just like me!"

Lu Changfeng could understand Lu Rou's thoughts to some extent.

She probably thinks she has great talent, and if she had been born after the world changed, she would definitely have been more gifted and had a brighter future.

But Lu Changfeng knew what he was like before: an ordinary low-grade spiritual root, with no physique, no talent for physical cultivation or magic, and even if he hitched a ride, he wouldn't be much stronger.

However, he is more concerned about something else now.

"Sis, you didn't come all this way just to tell me this, did you?"

His reminder made Lu Rou remember why she had come.

"Oh, oh, oh, I almost forgot about something important!"

"What? Xiao Feng, help me! My popularity has been plummeting lately, and even my cultivation progress has slowed down!"

"You're so smart, you must have a way to help me solve this!"

Hearing her say that, Lu Changfeng was also full of question marks.

"Um, sis, what makes you think I can help you solve your declining popularity problem?"

Although he was unclear about the internal situation of the Hehuan Sect, he knew that their cultivation speed was linked to their popularity, but why did Lu Rou think she could help her solve this problem?

Although he is a time traveler, he is not omnipotent and can solve everything!

Upon hearing his question, Lu Rou also looked proud.

"Hehehe, I wasn't originally planning to contact you, but my dad told me that you often criticize my performance as the 'Peerless Senior Sister,' so he asked me to come find you!"

After hearing this, Lu Changfeng suddenly realized what was going on.

"I see!"

He didn't know Lu Rou was his own sister before, and since he was going to trick Lao Deng, he naturally wanted to see what was going on.

To be fair, the actors were top-notch and the visuals were great, but the plot was a bit weak!

After all, the Hehuan Sect has been making TV dramas for thousands of years. They've already filmed everything that needed to be filmed. People in this world complain about the clichéd plots, let alone Lu Changfeng, a transmigrator!

Then he shrugged.

"But there's nothing I can do if you come to me. It's like a customer complaining that the food at a restaurant is terrible, but that doesn't mean they can cook!"

Hearing him say that, Lu Rou was also a little disappointed.

"Oh, I see!"

But thinking about it, it's understandable. After all, no matter how capable Lu Changfeng is, he's just a sixteen-year-old kid. How could he possibly have a real solution?

"Alright, since I couldn't help, I'll just have to think of another way!"

But the next moment, Lu Changfeng slowly spoke.

"So what I mean is, we need to pay more!"

puff!

Lu Rou had originally planned to think of another way, but she didn't expect Lu Changfeng's words to make her stumble.

"What did you say?"

Lu Changfeng shrugged.

"Even between siblings, accounts should be kept clear. I've been pretty free lately anyway, so I'll just treat it as a side job!"

Although she didn't understand why Lu Changfeng was so confident, Lu Rou simply chose to believe him.

"Okay, I'll definitely give you a big red envelope then, is that better now!"

But Lu Changfeng shook his head at these words.

"It's not a red envelope, it's payment for my services!"
