Ch. 929 - The Person Behind

“What? Can’t I come to see you for no reason?” the man said with a grin. “We have a betrothal agreement. No matter what, you’ll eventually become my woman.”

“If you’ve got nothing important then leave,” Mu Qing said impatiently.

The man called Wang Jun turned his gaze, and when he saw Fan Luoyu, a flash of brightness passed through his eyes.

“Who is this beauty? Won’t you introduce her?” Wang Jun asked.

“Don’t go too far,” Mu Qing said coldly.

She pulled Fan Luoyu wanting to leave, but Wang Jun’s companions all blocked the way.

“This young lady, let’s get acquainted,” Wang Jun smiled.

“I am the grandson of Elder Fengyang, Wang Jun.”

Hearing this, Xu Zimo couldn’t hold back a laugh.

Normally, when introducing themselves, people reported the name of their sect or force. But this guy directly pulled out his grandfather’s name.

“Elder Fengyang?” Fan Luoyu looked a little surprised.

It was clear she had heard of this name.

“Could it be the Invincible Immortal, Wang Fengyang?”

“That’s right, that’s my grandfather,” Wang Jun nodded with pride, clearly satisfied by Fan Luoyu’s reaction.

That identity alone almost allowed him to walk sideways across the Immortal Extinction Sacred Ground.

Mentioning Wang Fengyang, only those who had stepped into that level knew his strength.

To dare call oneself “Invincible Immortal” was no exaggeration.

His proudest feat was once being besieged by eight Immortals. The result was he killed them all in overwhelming fashion, making his name known across the world.

And he himself was completely unharmed.

Everyone knew that the Immortal Extinction Sacred Ground was a sect of Five Grand Emperors, with five living fossil-like ancestor warlords.

But later, when people mentioned the sect, they would call them Six Ancestors.

Because aside from the five warlords, Wang Fengyang also counted as one.

Just that alone showed his immense strength.

“What are you laughing at?” Wang Jun turned to Xu Zimo, his tone stiff.

Especially seeing Xu Zimo with these women made his dislike grow stronger.

“I just remembered something happy,” Xu Zimo replied.

“What happy thing?” Wang Jun pressed.

“My wife gave birth to a child,” Xu Zimo thought for a while and finally came up with this excuse.

“Kid, watch your mouth,” Wang Jun said coldly. “Have you never heard the saying ‘calamity comes from the mouth’?”

“Wang Jun, don’t threaten my friend,” Mu Qing stepped in. “If you have nothing else then leave. I don’t want to see you.”

“Why rush? This beauty hasn’t introduced herself yet,” Wang Jun smiled.

Fan Luoyu didn’t get angry. She calmly said, “Just a nobody. Even if I told you, Young Master Wang wouldn’t know.”

“Then I want to know anyway,” Wang Jun sneered.

“Fan Luoyu,” she answered plainly.

“Oh, you’re from Hundred Pill Hall in the city,” Wang Jun immediately revealed her background.

“You know?” Fan Luoyu frowned slightly.

Logically, Hundred Pill Hall was just an ordinary shop in Immortal City. For disciples of the Immortal Extinction Sacred Ground, it wasn’t worth a glance.

But his reaction was strange.

And to instantly point out her background, that was suspicious.

“How do you know?” Fan Luoyu asked.

“Not only that, I know Hundred Pill Hall is currently facing endless trouble,” Wang Jun smiled. “If you want to know more, why not stroll with me on this Seventh Night Festival night? If I’m pleased, maybe I’ll reveal a thing or two.”

“Luoyu, don’t listen to him,” Mu Qing quickly interrupted. “This guy is just a spoiled young master. He couldn’t possibly know anything.”

“Who said I don’t know?” Wang Jun retorted. “I even know the mastermind behind it.”

“I think he’s lying,” Xu Zimo agreed, nodding seriously. “The one targeting your Fan Clan isn’t someone he could even approach.”

“Don’t underestimate me. Among the younger generation of the Immortal Extinction Sacred Ground, I know almost all the notable names,” Wang Jun explained. “Because of my grandfather, many want to curry favor with me.”

“Brother, drop the act,” Xu Zimo patted Wang Jun’s shoulder. “I’ve seen through this trick. You just want to use this matter to attract Fan Luoyu’s attention. Then trick her into bed at night, and the next morning pull up your pants and deny everything.”

“Don’t slander me! I may love beauties, but all those women follow me willingly,” Wang Jun flushed red, his voice rising. “One day I was drinking with an inner sect disciple, he got drunk and told me this.”

“Oh, and now suddenly there’s some inner sect disciple,” Xu Zimo laughed. “You’re good at making things up, fabricating as you go.”

“Stop defaming me! Your Fan Clan’s shop caught the eye of that lunatic Lu Changgan. If you don’t believe me, go confront him,” Wang Jun shouted almost hysterically. “I’ve always had my bottom line. I don’t need to lie to you.”

“Lu Changgan,” Xu Zimo looked at Fan Luoyu and said.

Her brows tightened, as if a cloud of worry gathered on her face.

“Thank you for informing us, Young Master Wang,” Fan Luoyu said politely, then turned and left.

“Eh… wait,” Wang Jun froze, then looked at his companions, dumbfounded. “Did I just tell her everything?”

“Yes,” they all nodded.

“Damn it, that kid tricked me,” Wang Jun said through gritted teeth.

……

Walking in North City, Fan Luoyu looked deeply troubled.

“Luoyu, don’t be upset. Don’t let that guy ruin our mood,” Mu Qing held her arm, apologetically.

“It’s not because of him,” Fan Luoyu shook her head. “You’re also a disciple of the Immortal Extinction Sacred Ground. You must know of Lu Changgan.”

Mu Qing stayed silent for a moment, then nodded.

“Just say it. I’m ready,” Fan Luoyu smiled faintly.

“Right now in the Immortal Extinction Sacred Ground, both the younger and older generations are split into two factions. One led by the Holy Son Lu Changhen, the other by the Saintess Ji Ruobing.” Mu Qing explained: “As for Lu Changhen, I don’t know much. But he has a younger brother, Lu Changgan. This man was extremely gifted since childhood, one of the most outstanding of the younger generation in the sect. His talent is no worse than the Holy Son or the Saintess. But his heart is too bloodthirsty. Even as a child, he declared he would comprehend the Dao through killing. And within the entire sect, he only listens to his brother Lu Changhen. So few dare to provoke him.”
