This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 801 - 61 Heads Up Modified After:
This is Ying Mingyue’s mansion.
Lu Qingshan accepted her invitation and paid a visit.
The servant hurriedly conveyed the message.
Soon, Lu Qingshan was able to enter Mingyue Mansion and saw Ying Mingyue in a hall.
Ying Mingyue was tall, with long, straight legs, wearing a silver-gray outfit that accentuated her graceful figure, her brows sharp and full of heroism.
She crossed her arms over her chest, looking at the visitor Lu Qingshan with a complex expression, couldn’t help but say, "I previously thought you were quite smart, but now why have you become so foolish?"
Lu Qingshan knew well that Ying Mingyue had heard the rumors and waves outside.
One person challenging the same generation, however you look at it, is a foolish act without knowing the sky’s height and the earth’s depth.
"Foolish?" Lu Qingshan smiled calmly, "You know nothing, just heard some superficial news, and dare to arrogantly judge whether a person is foolish or not. This is actually true foolishness."
Ying Mingyue raised an eyebrow, hearing the meaning in Lu Qingshan’s words, "What do you mean?"
"You say I am so foolish because I boldly claimed to sweep through the entire Royal City of the same generation.
And you think, soon there will be someone coming to challenge and defeat me, breaking my bold claim."
"Then, I will become a laughingstock?"
Ying Mingyue nodded slightly, indicating agreement.
"If you really think I am foolish for this, then I would indeed be very disappointed in you. My visit this time seems to have little significance," Lu Qingshan said flatly, cupping his hands towards Ying Mingyue, "Farewell."
After speaking, Lu Qingshan turned and walked away.
"Three, two...." He silently counted in his heart.
"Wait." Behind him came Ying Mingyue’s voice of retention.
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, then quickly restrained his smile, turned and looked at Ying Mingyue calmly, "What is it, Miss Mingyue, do you have something else?"
Ying Mingyue’s face didn’t look very good, she said muffledly, "Speak directly, don’t play tricks."
Regarding Ying Mingyue’s piercing through his act, Lu Qingshan didn’t feel embarrassed or care.
The trick of playing hard to get, its success lies not in whether the other party sees through.
As long as the other party is "caught," then it is successful.
He looked around vigilantly, his gaze finally falling on the subordinates waiting outside the hall, and asked, "Is this place suitable for speaking?"
Ying Mingyue was silent for a while, finally said, "Follow me."
She took Lu Qingshan to a secluded and quiet secret room.
"This is where I usually retreat for quiet cultivation," Ying Mingyue said faintly, "It’s very safe."
"Speak, what are you doing this for?"
Lu Qingshan was not in a hurry to explain the reason but asked, "First think, if my bold claim is quickly defeated by others, what loss will I have?"
Ying Mingyue was shocked upon hearing this.
Seeing her reaction, Lu Qingshan knew Ying Mingyue should have the answer in her heart, so he continued on his own, "None, no loss at all.
As the offspring of Ao Ren Demon Venerable and the son-in-law of Shi Wu Demon Venerable, even if someone comes to challenge me, assuming someone can defeat me, they absolutely wouldn’t dare to kill me."
"They wouldn’t dare!"
"In this calculation, the biggest loss would be becoming the object of people’s ridicule.
After all, making a bold claim and then being defeated is indeed a shameful thing."
"However, you have to understand, after accepting your father’s condition, leaving the Sen Luo King Realm, and coming to Jian Luo King City to be your Ying Family’s son-in-law," Lu Qingshan smiled calmly, "The people in Jian Luo King City already hardly look up to me."
Son-in-law, at any time, is always a shameful thing.
Even though many people want to be this son-in-law and can’t be.
It doesn’t stop them from looking down on the one who ’got’ it after failing to achieve their own desires.
Lu Qingshan continued, "On the contrary, if I truly achieve this, sweeping all peers in Jian Luo King City, what will the scene be like then?"
Ying Mingyue’s complexion swiftly changed, full of incredibility, subconsciously replied, "If you really sweep through all peers in Jian Luo King City, you will be one of the most dazzling young people in Jian Luo King City."
"Exactly, at that time, the light on me will be enough to overshadow my son-in-law status.
When people mention me, they will think not of your Ying Family’s son-in-law, but one of the strongest young people in Jian Luo King City," said Lu Qingshan.
Ying Mingyue looked at Lu Qingshan with a complicated gaze, "Is the son-in-law status so unacceptable to you, why then did you agree to my father’s condition?"
Lu Qingshan extended his finger, "Firstly, it was my father’s idea, I couldn’t oppose it."
"Secondly, in the Sen Luo King Realm, there’s no one supporting me. freēnovelkiss.com
My two elder brothers, however, have extremely powerful forces behind them, forming ties of interests, mutually contending for the position of Kingdom Lord.
In this situation, if I dare to come forward, they will quickly suppress me, and I am unable to resist."
"So in the Sen Luo King Realm, you had to intentionally dishonor yourself, act brainlessly, lowering their guard, avoiding deliberate targeting by them," Ying Mingyue inserted.
That’s what you said, not me.
Lu Qingshan thought secretly.
The highest realm of bluffing is merely stating a fact, guiding the person being bluffed to say the final conclusion themselves.
