Chapter 250: Chapter 166: Gathering Wealth and Building Strength

"Feng Yan, what do you mean by this? Do you really think you’re considering Nangua’s best interests? If you really were, you wouldn’t be stopping me. Look, it’s been so many years, you know how Nangua is doing better than I do, so what’s wrong with finding another Dao partner?"

The female cultivator put her hands on her hips and scolded.

Feng Yan, however, responded coldly. She knew the other party was not wrong, and over the years, she had tried to persuade Nangua periodically.

But she understood that this matter required Nangua’s consent, otherwise, it was all in vain.

"Daoist Ming is indeed a good match, but Nangua simply doesn’t like him, and she can’t be compelled against her will." Feng Yan, being voluptuous and imposing, overshadowed the other in her aura.

However, the female cultivator had come prepared and said, "Daoist Ming has waited so long, his sincerity is evident. Nangua is merely being obstinate; if you talked to her more, wouldn’t it make things happen?"

"Besides, you’ve known why Nangua has been able to live here all these years. Now Daoist Ming has lost his patience. If you all insist, then he might just give up."

Feng Yan’s heart skipped a beat, but her aura remained undiminished.

"He should have given up long ago."

The female cultivator stared angrily, her eyes wide open, and said, "Is this Nangua’s response? If so, then I have nothing more to say, you should look after yourselves."

The hint of threat in the female cultivator’s words left Feng Yan a bit at a loss.

After all, she and Nangua had been living steadily here over the years, thanks to Daoist Ming’s aid.

Many high-level Qi Cultivation practitioners had shown interest in Li Nangua, but with Daoist Ming’s protection, they had been deterred.

Now if word got out, it might reignite the interest of some practitioners, and given Daoist Ming’s precedent, their actions would likely be more malicious.

"This matter... I will discuss it with Li Nangua." Feng Yan eventually did not dare to decide for Li Nangua and replied.

The female cultivator’s face showed a slight smile and said, "That’s more like it; actually, there’s nothing wrong with it. We are all women, and it’s reasonable to find some support, right? What level are Nangua’s Dao partners, can they even compare with Daoist Ming? As long as—"

Before she finished, Lu Chang’an stepped in front of the two.

"What my father is like is not for you to say!"

"Who are you! What are you doing here!" The female cultivator’s expression changed slightly, and she looked at Lu Chang’an sharply.

Because it’s considered quite rude to use the Dharma Eye to look at someone, very few practitioners would do so publicly, as it could cause trouble.

So the female cultivator was not aware of Lu Chang’an’s cultivation level, but seeing him dare to stand up, she felt a bit intimidated.

However, considering she had Daoist Ming backing her, she was not afraid.

"My father is exactly the insignificant person you’re talking about!" Lu Chang’an said coldly.

"What! Li Nangua’s lover is here?" The female cultivator’s face changed as the thoughts in her mind slipped out.

If not for the fact that she couldn’t overpower him, and that this was Fuyun Mountain’s jurisdiction, Lu Chang’an would have really wanted her to see what it means to cause trouble with one’s words.

"I advise you to be cautious with your words and actions, fellow Daoist; times have changed, and not guarding your words carefully can easily cause trouble."

Lu Chang’an prided himself on being rational, yet he was provoked by this woman.

Otherwise, with his temperament, he definitely wouldn’t have chosen to offend a third-level Qi Cultivation practitioner at this moment.

The female cultivator’s expression showed a hint of fear, and she hurriedly said, "I spoke out of turn."

With that, she turned and left in a hurry.

"Times have changed, could it be that Li Nangua’s lover has undergone a huge change?"

As the female cultivator turned the corner of the street, she couldn’t help but pat her chest, thinking to herself.

Even if she guessed that Lu Chang’an’s cultivation level wasn’t high, she dared not be negligent.

Lu Chang’an’s aura was too natural, intimidating without showing anger, not like someone unfamiliar with big events, so she paid great attention to the phrase "times have changed."

Of course, it could be that the other party was bluffing, but regardless, the risk was still significant for her.

"I should have Daoist Ming make the decision." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

······

"Is your father really Nangua’s Dao partner?" Feng Yan looked at Lu Chang’an, seemingly beginning to believe it.

Because she saw a resemblance between Lu Chang’an’s face and Nangua’s.

The two chatted for a while and learned each other’s names.

"Chang’an, it’s not that I want to meddle, but what you said earlier might have felt good, but the consequences might not be easy to bear."

Feng Yan discussed the pros and cons with Lu Chang’an.

In her words, there was a hint of reproach.

She felt that this matter should be carefully discussed before making a decision.

Knowing that she was worried about his mother and him, Lu Chang’an was not displeased, just smiled and said, "Don’t worry, Yan, if my father knew, he would probably have done even more than I did."

"And also—" as he was about to enter the room, he recalled something and added, "My father is also an Alchemist."

Feng Yan’s body suddenly stiffened, showing a hint of disbelief.

Having been with Nangua for many years, with sister-like feelings, it was impossible that she hadn’t figured out Li Nangua’s Dao partner’s situation.

"Is this true? I heard from Nangua that your father was just an ordinary person."

She couldn’t help but ask.

"My father is not a common man!" Lu Chang’an said with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of pride.

As they entered the courtyard, Feng Yan seemed slightly restrained in her demeanor.

Li Nangua had just woken up, and she appeared quite surprised to see this.
