Chapter 1182: Chapter 496: Nanzhi Returns Home, Aunt Ruo Hides

"I’m actually quite curious." Pei Wanyu’s fingertips caressed the rim of the cup, "When and how did you become the head of Xuanri Mountain?"

"By borrowing the Heavenly Dao." Lu Yunzhu tapped her fingers gently on the mask on the table, "Laying the groundwork in the past to influence the future."

Hearing this, Pei Wanyu’s eyes flashed with surprise, "You are quite bold. Aren’t you afraid of the consequences, like dying and vanishing on the path?"

As a race skilled in the Time Path, Pei Wanyu naturally knew how difficult it was to alter the past, especially when Lu Yunzhu did it in front of the Heavenly Dao.

To deceive the heavens right under the Heavenly Dao’s eyes was exceptionally risky, yet Lu Yunzhu succeeded...

"It’s already a success, what meaning is there to speak of failure?" Lu Yunzhu said nonchalantly, "The current Heavenly Dao is just a little girl I can dress up."

"You really know how to brag." Pei Wanyu sneered, then shifted the conversation, "So, are you originally from Xuanri Mountain?"

"Yes."

"Then why did you go to the Lu Family?" Pei Wanyu asked curiously, "Since you can see the past and know the future, shouldn’t you always have an all-knowing attitude?

But in the past, your strange education and consumption of Jin’an... It didn’t seem fake."

Lu Yunzhu replied casually, "Returning to the past with feelings destined for the future, so without knowledge of the future, it naturally appeared sincere and genuine."

Pei Wanyu understood, ten years ago, Lu Yunzhu couldn’t completely control the Heavenly Dao, or rather, her layout gradually succeeded as time passed.

Meditating for a while, she asked a crucial question, "How far into the future?"

Lu Yunzhu looked at Pei Wanyu but did not answer this question.

Pei Wanyu chuckled, finished the tea in her cup, stood up, and asked while walking, "Next, are you preparing to return to the Upper Realm?"

"Going back to the Lu Family." Lu Yunzhu said lightly, "Neither the Demon Clan nor the Upper Realm is the endpoint for him."

"Outer Heaven?"

"Also no."

"Hmm?"

Pei Wanyu turned back and looked at Lu Yunzhu, "What do you mean?"

"At that time, you can come to the Lu Family."

Lu Yunzhu crossed her right leg over her left, "His Great Dao can be even greater."

"So mysterious."

Pei Wanyu directly opened the door and walked out, too lazy to rack her brains with Lu Yunzhu.

More importantly, Xiao Yinruo had already safely returned to her Huangyu Palace, and she was eager to tease her a bit.

Before long, Lu Yunzhu also left Fuyao Inn and silently watched Lu Jin’an sitting on the steps in the square.

"Sis." Lu Jin’an waved at her, "Are you getting ready to leave?"

Lu Yunzhu walked past, "Just came to say hello."

"When will you come again?"

"Next time, it’ll be your turn to come home." Lu Yunzhu stood beside him, her red dress particularly striking in the morning light, "Don’t you miss mom and dad at all?"

Hearing her bring up this topic suddenly, Lu Jin’an said nonchalantly, "We’re cultivating, ten years isn’t a big deal, and thanks to you, I’m closest to you at home."

Lu Yunzhu was more like a mother to him than his real one.

Regardless of any guidance, it was Lu Yunzhu who took over from his parents.

As the saying goes, "distant relatives are not as helpful as close neighbors," the time spent together determines how close people are, and his relationship with Lu Yunzhu is the closest in the Lu Family.

Worried?

He wasn’t worried about his parents’ safety at all; not only are they both strong in the Divine Concealing Realm, but if anyone could threaten them, it would be Lu Yunzhu, and she wouldn’t do that.

Lu Jin’an was confident in this.

"Now that you’re the Sect Master of Wandao Sect, how about the Lu Family then..."

"You handle it." Lu Jin’an chuckled, "Everyone below is loyal to you, why would they recognize me? Even if they did, it’d be out of respect for you.

Besides, I can’t even recognize everyone, so what use is the Lu Family to me?"

"Certain?" Lu Yunzhu looked at him with a smiling expression, "To the Lu Family’s main branch, side branches, and all major families, I am ultimately an outsider without the Lu Family bloodline. There’s no way they’d be genuinely loyal to me, and if you leave it to me, I’ll have to kill quite a few people."

"Haven’t you killed enough?" Lu Jin’an retorted, "In my generation, the Lu Family threw out quite a few ’Cuckoo Eggs,’ right? But I’ve yet to see one, don’t you think I can’t figure out what happened to them?"

"How do you feel about it?"

"No feeling at all." Lu Jin’an shrugged, "Once they’re thrown out, it’s up to their own abilities. Besides, asking me to feel something for the death of people I don’t know is nonsense, isn’t it?"

"That’s why you’re most suited to manage the Lu Family." Lu Jin’an continued, "The Changqing Immortal Clan, it doesn’t really need to exist either."

"You can’t stop it." Lu Yunzhu knew his thoughts, "Once cultivators with talent grow up, a few hundred or a thousand years is enough to build a legacy. Even without the Changqing Immortal Clan, there’ll be other Immortal Clans. You’re thinking too simply."

"At least for now."

"Got it." Lu Yunzhu nodded, "Let’s not talk about it. I’m leaving first. See you at the Lu Family."

As he watched Lu Yunzhu step into the void, Lu Jin’an was actually quite curious about Lu Yunzhu’s purpose.

Lu Jin’an could sense that Lu Yunzhu wasn’t particularly concerned about the entire Yunding, but he couldn’t discern Lu Yunzhu’s true objective.

"Too lazy to think about it, I should get on with my own things too..."

Demon World, Jingfengyuan Cyan Dragon Palace.

Cang Qinglong Saint is having a staring contest with Zhiyu.

The discontented Zhiyu glared with heterochromatic eyes, completely unafraid of this grandmother, unlike before.

"The change is indeed quite significant." Cang Qinglong Saint extended a hand to touch Zhiyu, but Zhiyu quickly backed away to avoid it, "You can’t touch me; you don’t have good intentions towards Zhiyu either!"
