For a moment, Lu Xiaoran did not know how to answer his cousin. He could only laugh and gloss over this matter.

“By the way, we’ve already received the offerings from the Seven Water Pavilion. Should we return to the Lu family next?”

“Of course, it’s all thanks to you this time. Xiaoran, after I return, I’ll definitely tell Grandpa that you can also take care of some family businesses in the future. At that time, I’ll let you earn more money so that it’s easier for you to cultivate.”

“Thank you, Cousin.”

“We’re brothers. Why are you being so polite? Let’s go home.”

On the way, when Steward Lu reported to Lu Xiaochen about what Lu Xiaoran did, he was shocked again.

He did not expect Lu Xiaoran to have done such a good job.

Moreover, most importantly, he was actually not bewitched by the beauty and had decisively killed the Holy Maiden of the Seven Water Pavilion.

This courage was really decisive.

“Xiaoran, how can you kill such a beautiful Holy Maiden just like that?”

Lu Xiaoran smiled faintly and said, “Why? Can’t I kill her?”

“That’s not it.”

In their world, the weak were prey to the strong. It was an eternal rule.

In their eyes, a mere Holy Maiden of a sect was only a small ant that could be casually crushed to death.

If it were their Lu family, even as direct descendants of the Lu family, they would still be able to kill an expert easily.

It could only be said that this was fate.

“I just think that it’s a pity. After all, the other party’s talent is not bad. It’s not bad for you to take her in as a maidservant. After all, you haven’t found a maidservant to serve you in your courtyard.”

Lu Xiaoran shook his head.

“I don’t care much about such things. Moreover, that so-called Holy Maiden Ling Qingxue already has someone else in her heart. I don’t want to mess with her.”

Moreover, there’s something else. How can you be sure that Yang Jian won’t become an expert in the future? And then come back to take revenge on our Lu family? ”

“How is that possible? Stop joking!”

Lu Xiaochen waved his hand and smiled in disbelief.

“From what you said, that Yang Jian is nothing more than a small Saint Realm trash. How can he be qualified to become a big shot? He doesn’t have any connections and doesn’t have talent or resources. The best he can do is reach the God Realm.”

Moreover, this was only possible because cultivators from the Divine World did not need to transcend the tribulation. Otherwise, he would not even be able to break through to the God Realm.

Therefore, you don’t have to worry about this at all. ”

Lu Xiaoran was rather speechless.

If they did not need to transcend the tribulation in the Divine World , wouldn’t it be easier for Yang Jian to break through?

Fortunately, he had killed Yang Jian. If Yang Jian escaped, wouldn’t his cultivation increase rapidly?

He did not expect the Divine World to also have hot shots. Looks like he had to be more careful in the future.

As for Lu Xiaochen, since the other party did not believe him, Lu Xiaoran could not be bothered to tell him. After all, the other party was not his disciple. The other party would probably not believe him if he told him about the hot shots.

Therefore, Lu Xiaoran only said that it was best to be careful and ended the conversation between the two of them.

The divine ship quickly returned to the Lu family. Lu Xiaochen was originally prepared to let Lu Xiaoran go with him to take credit from his grandfather.

However, Lu Xiaoran was not interested. He simply declined and directly returned to cultivate.

Helpless, Lu Xiaochen could only report to his grandfather alone.

…

“You said that Xiaoran directly killed that Holy Maiden?”

“Yes.”

Hearing Lu Xiaochen’s report, Old Master Lu’s eyes could not help but reveal a glimmer.

“I originally thought that Xiaoran might be calculative and petty in terms of character after suffering outside for so many years. Now, it seems that this child is still not bad in terms of character.”

Unfortunately, if he could have grown up in the Lu family, his cultivation might have long broken through to the God Realm. ”

“However, Xiaoran is also working very hard now. In the past few years after coming to the Lu family, he hasn’t left the house at all. He has been cultivating diligently and has already broken through to the third level of the God Realm.”

“I know that. However, although he’s diligent, he’s unable to make up for the delay in his age previously. You also know that on the path of cultivation, the younger one is, the better their talent. He has already passed the best age and talent.”

Lu Xiaochen’s eyes revealed a regretful expression.

He knew that his grandfather was basically right.

After all, his grandfather was a perfected tenth level God Production Realm expert!

He had enough cultivation experience.

Since he said that Lu Xiaoran’s future was uncertain on the path of cultivation, Lu Xiaoran’s future was really uncertain.

However, even so, he still wanted to do something for his cousin, Lu Xiaoran.

“Grandpa, although Xiaoran’s talent in cultivation is unable to make up for it, I wonder if Grandpa can allow him to come into contact with some business matters of the Lu family?”

Old Master Lu was silent for a moment before nodding.

“That’s a good idea.”

The Lu family was not created for them to cultivate. Other than cultivation, the Lu family also needed people to handle some work.

For example, diplomacy, business, and various existences related to spirit stones.

They had also benefited a lot from this.

Since Lu Xiaoran was already unable to have much success on the path of cultivation, it was also not a bad choice to give him some work to live comfortably.

“However, although that’s the case, many people in the Lu family have already criticized Xiaoran.”

It had to be known that people were forgetful. They would not remember the glory Xiaoran’s father, Qingshan, had once brought to the Lu family. They would only remember that Xiaoran was currently enjoying a lot of resources from the Lu family.

“If I give Xiaoran more work, I’m afraid I’ll provoke him and make others jealous. Xiaoran will be fine as long as I am alive. However, I’ll still grow old one day. After I die, I don’t know what they’ll do to Xiaoran.”

Old Master Lu had no choice. This was a large family and everyone was his descendant.

Everyone was jealous. It was understandable for them to be jealous of Lu Xiaoran’s resources.

He could not possibly kill his other descendants for Lu Xiaoran, right?

“Grandpa, you don’t have to worry about that. Because I’ll protect Cousin.”

As soon as Lu Xiaochen finished speaking, he took the initiative to release his aura.

“This aura… Wait, you broke through to the first level of the God Slaying Realm?”

Lu Xiaochen smiled and nodded.

“I was lucky today and just broke through.”

“Good! Good! This is really the heavens protecting our Lu family! Hahahaha… In the entire Heaven Water City, how many people can break through to the first level of the God Slaying Realm before the age of 50? You even broke Grandpa’s record back then. This is an unprecedented record!

“Who in the entire Heaven Water City can compare to you?”

Old Master Lu was extremely excited, as if he did not expect his grandson to have broken through to the God Slaying Realm.

Although his God Slaying Realm cultivation was already very powerful, it had to be known that he had only broken through to the God Slaying Realm when he was 50 years old!

The difference in their ages naturally highlighted how powerful Lu Xiaochen’s cultivation was.

Perhaps the future Lu Xiaochen could go further than him and reach the legendary Ten Domain Martial God Realm!

The heavens were really blessing the Xiao family!

“Then with me around, Grandpa should be able to rest assured about Xiaoran’s safety, right?”

Old Master Lu nodded.

“Alright! However, speaking of which, you were clearly only at the ninth level of the True God Realm previously. How did you break through to the first level of the God Slaying Realm so quickly?”

The corner of Lu Xiaochen’s mouth curled up slightly as he smiled and said, “Actually, Xiaoran was part of the reason why I broke through. He once heard that cultivating a divine technique requires one to cultivate a few more God Realm cultivation techniques to increase their experience and comprehension. Therefore, I gave it a try. I didn’t expect to really succeed.”

Old Master Lu sighed repeatedly.

“Xiaoran, this child, has really made a huge contribution to our Lu family! Not bad, this child is really not bad. I originally thought that I could just let him live his life peacefully. Now, it seems that even if this child’s talent is not enough, he can still grow into a figure.

“Looks like it’s also time to complete that matter for him. ”

Lu Xiaochen raised his eyebrows slightly and said in confusion, “What are you talking about, Grandpa?”

“Hehe, you don’t know. Back then, your uncle, Lu Qingshan, was in the limelight and suppressed the entire Heaven Water City. He could be said to be an expert of a generation! At that time, many people admired your uncle.

“One of them was the sect master of the Misty Pavilion who had received favor from your uncle. Therefore, he made an oath.

“He promised that if he had any female disciples in the future, he would definitely let her become Xiaoran’s wife.

“Later, although he did take in a female disciple and was conferred the title of the Divine Maiden of the Misty Pavilion, Xiaoran had disappeared for so many years, so I did not think in this direction.

Even when Xiaoran had just returned, I did not think about that matter. After all, it was still somewhat difficult for Xiaoran to be compatible with the other party.

“Now, although Xiaoran’s talent is ordinary, his character is really not bad. He has also contributed to my Lu family and helped you step into the God Slaying Realm.

“Even if I have to lose my face, I have to help Xiaoran finalize this marriage.”

Lu Xiaochen’s heart skipped a beat.

Xiaoran actually had a Divine Maiden fiancée?

Awesome!

It had to be known that being called a Divine Maiden meant that the Misty Pavilion was not a small sect like the Seven Water Pavilion. Instead, it was a proper sect in the Divine World. The disciples with the lowest cultivation level were at least above the God Realm.

To put it bluntly, the other party’s starting point might be much higher than their Lu family.

If they could really finalize the marriage between the other party’s Divine Maiden and Xiaoran, Xiaoran’s future status in the Lu family would be even more stable. No one would dare to bully him.

Lu Xiaochen was somewhat envious, but he was not jealous.

This was because he knew that it was Xiaoran’s father, his incomparably powerful uncle, who had earned this opportunity for Xiaoran.
