There are always fairies plotting against me

Wu Yanhai did not dare to criticize Zheng Dongliu for moving the Buddhist sect here, and no one dared to do so. If the ancestor had not been in trouble, he would not have asked for marriage. After all, the distribution of interests in Chang'an ultimately depends on the strength of the cultivators, not their relationships.

During this period, he also inquired about other forces contacting Wan Dao Sect, testing whether Wan Dao Sect would favor one side rather than directly proposing marriage like he did.

Fortunately, Taichu Palace did not respond for a long time, which helped the Wu family.

Wu Yanhai thought about it and glanced at the Wandao Sect guards and the immortal Xu Shu who were still standing there. Although he felt a little confused, he didn't ask any more questions and started the conversation half a step behind Lu Jinan.

Lu Jinan's attitude was probably to reject this marriage, but fortunately the Wu family still had some face in the Wandao Sect, so Lu Jinan did not refuse in public.

And, what if?

"Lu Shengzi, isn't Sect Master Pei here?"

"Master Wu, I'm not a child anymore. I can handle such a small matter."

"I didn't worry enough." After walking out of the City Lord's Mansion, Wu Yanhai changed the topic and began to introduce the customs and culture of Tianjian City.

He knew that there were spies from many forces gathered in the city at the moment, so he wanted them to take a look.

At the same time, he was also observing Lu Jinan's expression. Whenever Lu Jinan showed any impatience, he would immediately withdraw his thoughts.

Fortunately—no.

So while taking the initiative to strike up a conversation, she also glared at Wu Biqiong who was following behind her. This was what she should have done.

It would be great to take Lu Shengzi for a walk late at night.

But seeing my daughter's attitude, I decided to give up. It would be bad if I made Lu Shengzi unhappy.

Lu Jinan also chatted casually, and while looking around, he felt strange in his heart. The information given by his master involved all aspects, naturally also involved the layout of Tianjian City.

There is no mistake between reality and intelligence.

Master, did you go to Moyun Pavilion, one of the five pavilions, to look for this information?

Thinking about it, he calmly turned the topic to some things about the Wu family, still thinking about how to test Wu Biqiong in his heart.

Although the Wandao Sect is powerful, it certainly cannot be questioned directly. If this door of questioning is opened, other forces will follow suit and target the hostile forces, then everyone will be in danger and chaos will occur. I believe that the upper realm also considered these things when making this move.

Fortunately, the Wandao Sect is uniquely powerful, which can suppress all kinds of demons and monsters.

"Sir Lu, why not arrange for your clan's guards to be stationed at my Wu family?"

"No need." Lu Jinan smiled slightly: "I won't stay for long."

What he did was also a bait. If someone wanted to attack him, he would be more vulnerable without guards.

He is not afraid of those below the immortals, because he has his master above the immortals.

"Row."

Among the inns.

Sun Shaoyang pushed the door open and walked in, looking at his second brother who possessed the Great Burning Ancient Body: "Do you really mean what Elder Liu said?"

"Big Brother." Sun Shaoheng bowed respectfully. "That wasn't what Elder Liu said. It was me who said it."

"You?" Sun Shaoyang stared at Sun Shaoheng. "Are you sure you're asking for advice and not assassinating Lu Shengzi?"

"I've already greeted Lu Shengzi." Sun Shaoheng looked up at Sun Shaoyang: "Also, this is a common way of asking for advice in Wandao Sect. You are not an inner sect disciple, so you don't understand."

"you sure?"

Sun Shaoheng smiled slightly: "Lu Shengzi used to be our eldest senior brother, and his junior brothers and sisters often did this. Lu Shengzi is not a genius who will be hurt by a sneak attack."

"Besides, haven't you always wanted to get to know Lu Shengzi? If you don't show your strength, how can you catch his eye?" Sun Shaoheng continued, "With my explanation, you can better secure your position as the Young Master of the Family. You won't have to worry about Third Brother constantly provoking you, right?"

As he spoke, he handed over an envelope: "This is what Lu Shengzi said. He has deliberately left the guards of the Tribulation Realm in the City Lord's Mansion.

It's because you promised me to let you take action."

Watching Sun Shaoyang take the envelope, Sun Shaoheng continued, "Brother, let me be frank. Although you are gifted, you don't have any physical fitness. It's impossible for Lu Shengzi to take you seriously in a head-on fight. The only way is to impress Lu Shengzi with your unique skills. Otherwise, there's no way you can befriend him, right?"

Sun Shaoyang looked at the letter and nodded: "You and Lu Shengzi have a really good relationship."

"I didn't lie about this." Sun Shaoheng took out his own sacred weapon again. "Brother, if you use my Dragon Roar Bow, Saint Lu will definitely recognize it at a glance. Now you can rest assured, right?"

Sun Shaoyang looked at the Dragon Roar Bow handed to him by Sun Shaoheng in surprise, and took it directly with a smile: "Second brother, thank you very much."

"After all, I've always supported you," Sun Shaoheng said humbly. "After all, we're brothers from the same mother. Although the Third Brother is a Saintly Body genius born to the ancestor in his later years, he's ultimately a collateral branch. He's simply overestimating himself by trying to compete with the eldest brother.

If it weren't for the support of the ancestor, why would the other elders in the clan hesitate? Take this opportunity to directly befriend Lu Shengzi, and you will have a secure position."

"Okay." Sun Shaoyang turned and walked out of the house: "If this is successful, I will definitely allocate a large amount of the cultivation resources in the clan to you."

"Thank you, brother."

Sun Shaoheng bowed, a hint of ridicule on his lips: "By the way, Bi Qiong and I have become Taoist partners."

Sun Shaoyang paused and slowly said the word "congratulations" when he closed the door.

Sun Shaoheng straightened up and uttered two words softly: "Idiot."

As they approached the Wu family's main residence, Wu Yanhai was about to make an invitation gesture when a direct descendant of the main family who had been taking care of the ancestor in the courtyard hurried out and said, "Master, the ancestor is calling for you and the elders."

Wu Yanhai's face changed slightly. Could it be that the ancestor was leaving a last word?

"Master Wu, go and do whatever you need first."

Wu Yanhai bowed, hurriedly said to Wu Biqing and others, "Entertain Lu Shengzi well", and hurried away.

Wu Biqiong pursed her lips: "Lu Shengzi, please."

Just as Lu Jinan stepped out of the Wu family's doorstep, a sound of breaking wind like a dragon's roar suddenly tore through the air, coming from far away and getting closer.

Wu Biqiong's eyes lit up. This idiot Sun Shaoheng finally took action. If she waited until Lu Jinan stepped into the Wu family, there would be no chance.

Hey, let’s see if this idiot is really close to Lu Jinan enough to make such a joke.

She turned her head and screamed in panic, but stood still: "Lu Shengzi, be careful!"

The head of the Wu family and the elders were no longer there, so no one else could stop the arrow, but Lu Jinan didn't need anyone else's help to stop it.

He slightly turned his body, raised his hand and grasped the sharp arrow that emitted a hint of dragon's roar.

Dragon Roar Bow·—·

Lu Jinan recognized the arrow shot from this bow, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Sun Shaoheng?

He turned around and looked across the road, but the person he saw was not Sun Shaoheng, but Sun Shaoheng's elder brother Sun Shaoyang.

"As expected of Saint Lu, you caught the arrow I shot with all my strength with your bare hands."

Sun Shaoyang bowed to Lu Jinan with a smile on his face and said, "I heard that many disciples of Wandao Sect often joke like this..."

"A joke?" Lu Jinan narrowed his eyes and looked at Sun Shaoyang: "This kind of joke?"

Sun Shaoyang's expression became satisfied, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared: "Well, I'll listen to Shao——"

What answered him was the red arrow that Lu Jinan threw back with the power of his physical strength.

The arrow, which did not carry a dragon's roar but carried a heavy and burning aura, ignored Sun Shaoyang's changed expression and directly pierced through his spiritual power and penetrated between his eyebrows.

It went in through his forehead and came out through the back of his head, directly pinning him to the wall behind him.

The scorching energy quickly melted his brain, and Sun Shaoyang twitched a few times before dying.

Wu Biqiong stared at Sun Shaoyang, who had turned into a corpse, and her expression changed slightly.

First, Sun Shaoheng and Lu Jinan are not familiar with each other!

Second, the one who died was Sun Shaoyang!

Third, Sun Shaoheng is not a fool!

Where is Sun Shaoheng?

Wu Biqiong saw Sun Shaoheng rushing to Sun Shaoyang's body, her face filled with grief: "Brother, how could you do such a thing behind the Sun family's back?

Wu Biqiong squinted her eyes and looked at the scene, somewhat unable to understand the connection between the current incident.

Sun Shaoheng used Lu Jinan to kill Sun Shaoyang?

Didn't the Sun family support the eldest brother to take the throne and suppress the eldest brother's supporters from the collateral branch of the Holy Body?

Taking a deep breath, she whispered, "Lu Shengzi, you killed the son of the Sun family's patriarch, the first heir—"

Lu Jinan ignored Wu Biqiong, but looked at Sun Shaoheng coldly, then walked towards Sun Shaoheng.

Sun Shaoheng felt the dark shadow covering him under the night light. He suppressed the grief in his heart and turned to look at Lu Jinan.

"Lu, Lu Shengzi—"

Lu Jinan looked down at him with a blank expression, "This Saint Son's sword is not something you can just borrow."

Sun Shaoheng's expression froze, and he immediately changed his tone.

"I have something important to report to the Holy Son."

Chapter 278 "Holy Son, she is very likely a body snatcher from the upper realm."

Tianjian City, City Lord's Mansion.

Lu Jinan sat in the city lord's seat with dignity, closing his eyes and going over the information about the Sun family of Beiwolong Mountain again.

He was being used by Sun Shaoheng, and he knew it very well.

But he didn't care, because no matter who was using him or not, he would kill Sun Shaoyang.

It's not a good habit to stab someone in the back.

"Big Brother, long time no see—"

Sun Shaoheng, who was about to try to get close, was interrupted by Lu Jinan the next second.

"You openly support Sun Shaoyang against Sun Ze, but in fact Sun Ze is a smokescreen you put out."

Lu Jinan opened his eyes and looked at Sun Shaoheng, his fingertips lightly holding the armrest of the chair: "Let me guess, you took advantage of the fact that Sun Shaoyang had never been in Wandao Sect to make him do this, right?"

Listening to Lu Jinan's voice, Sun Shaoheng understood one thing in his heart: there were indeed spies from the Wandao Sect within the Sun family.

Perhaps it's not just the Sun family, there are spies from the Wandao Sect within other forces in Chang'an.

It could be someone’s wife, a core leader, or a tree spirit or a pet——"

Sun Shaoheng was not very surprised. After all, Chang'an Region was the front line of the human race. Although Wandao Sect said that it would not interfere in the affairs of various forces, how could it not be on guard?

As a prodigy from a second-rank family, Sun Shaoheng is well versed in this. After all, which major force doesn't use this combination of hardness and softness?

But what surprised him was that the Wandao Sect's spies were in such a high position that they could even find out such things.

who is it?

It doesn't matter who it is.

Sun Shaoheng immediately suppressed his doubts. Even if he knew who this person was, he couldn't move or transfer him.

Must trust.

After all, he will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Sun family.

Sun Shaoheng smiled slightly: "Saint Son, you have a keen eye. Between me and the Second Ancestor…"

"It's nothing more than a transaction where a side branch joins the main branch."

Lu Jinan interrupted Sun Shaoheng, and Sun Shaoheng fell silent.

Do you know this?

Oh, no, this must be Lu Jinan’s guess.

After all, it is impossible for the Wandao Sect to place an immortal as a spy, that would be a waste.

Sun Shaoheng took a deep breath and looked directly into Lu Jinan's eyes: "I want to become the head of the Sun family, so I'll use your hand to kill Sun Shaoyang."

Lu Jinan remained silent, and Sun Shaoheng continued, "A time of great strife is approaching. Whether it will be a catastrophe or an opportunity depends entirely on your strength. I need the support of the entire Sun family, and only I can lead the Sun family to greater heights.

Regardless of the future or the present, Wandao Sect needs external forces, and I think I can handle this task."

After a pause, he continued, "Buddhism has entered Chang'an. Although Wandao Sect has sent you, Saint Son, to handle the interests involved, this kind of thing is the most difficult to balance. I guess the means you use are nothing more than pulling some and forcing others—"

If that is the case, our Sun family is willing to be your vanguard and be driven by you, so that when you try to win us over, you don’t have to make any guarantees.

He observed Lu Jinan's expression, and then saw a smile on his face, which made him feel relieved. Just as he was about to speak, he found that Lu Jinan's smile was a bit... mocking.
