"I wonder if Junior Nephew Lu has any important matters to attend to recently."
Lu Li's series of subtle attacks nearly choked Sect Leader Wen to death. He wanted to get angry, but then he remembered his unpleasant past experiences.
In addition, after he became the sect leader, he had a lot of contact with Liu Yu and knew that the other party was a protective person and an extremely difficult character to deal with.
Therefore, even though he was furious, he didn't dare to unleash his power to suppress people like he would elsewhere.
He was afraid that if he released his pressure, someone in the city lord's mansion might not be able to withstand it and get injured. That shameless Liu Yu would definitely take this opportunity to squeeze him for money again.
To be honest, at this moment, Sect Master Wen was actually somewhat regretful about why he had come to Wanyue City in person.
He thought that he must have been out of his mind to make this decision and on the way here.
Pshaw, no, I should say I made a mistake, how could I say my brain was full of water!
However, since we're already here, we can't just do nothing.
Thinking of this, Sect Master Wen's gaze towards Lu Li became exceptionally kind and earnest, as if he were looking at his future son-in-law.
"I'm sorry, Sect Master Wen, but Li has already reached the threshold of breakthrough and is really unable to leave to help. Please rest assured, since your daughter disappeared in Wanyue City, even though she was living in a property of your Wen family's affiliated family before she disappeared, our City Lord's Mansion will not stand idly by and will definitely help find her. Junior Brother Lian, you agree, right?"
When Lu Li met the gaze of Sect Leader Wen, he felt nauseous. Knowing what the other party was probably plotting, Lu Li didn't give him another chance to speak.
The first thing they say is that they've 'already touched the threshold for a breakthrough.' Don't underestimate the fact that they've only touched the threshold. Many people in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm might not be able to break through to the late-stage of the Golden Core realm even after half a lifetime.
Now that Lu Li has already touched the threshold, it means that a breakthrough is in sight. At this time, as long as he goes into seclusion in time and cultivates well, he will be able to successfully reach the later stage without any unexpected events.
Even if Sect Master Wen wanted to stop Lu Li from going into seclusion to break through, he couldn't do anything about it openly, let alone stop him.
To ruin someone's future is like killing their parents, especially when it's something as important as their promotion.
He believed that as long as he dared to say, "Junior Nephew Lu, don't rush into seclusion to advance your cultivation level. Help me find my daughter first."
Tomorrow, Liu Yu will dare to lead a group of Liu Yue Sect members to attack Tian Yan Sect without hesitation. He might even make exorbitant demands for a large amount of compensation. Just thinking about it makes one's heart ache.
Furthermore, Lu Li directly pointed out that Wen Jianxi disappeared from the inn of his Wen family's affiliated family, and he would have to think twice before trying to shift the blame to Wanyue City.
It can be said that Lu Li's words almost completely blocked all of Sect Master Wen's escape routes.
Wanting Lu Li to help? No way. Trying to pin the blame for Wen Jianxi's disappearance on Wanyue City or Liuyue Sect? No way.
Upon hearing Lu Li's words clearly, Sect Leader Wen nearly choked on his own blood. He had to fight tooth and nail to swallow the blood that had risen to his throat, his face turning as black as the bottom of a pot.
This Lu Li, as expected of Liu Yu's disciple, is just as cunning and annoying as his master.
At this moment, he regretted coming to Wanyue City again, regretted asking to see Lu Li, and regretted plotting against him.
At the same time, he was also wondering if his and Wen Jianxi's decision to scheme against the marriage agreement, to help Lu Li join the Tianyan Sect, and to tie him to the Wen family was the right one.
If someone like that were to actually succeed in their scheme and become Wen Jianxi's Daoist partner, it's likely that her heart wouldn't be with them.
He'll have to guard against people trying to sabotage him, and just thinking about it makes him feel like he's going to have a heart attack.
It's obvious this isn't a good outcome. Unless he willingly falls in love with Wen Jianxi, he won't help them at all costs.
But such a calm and composed person wouldn't be so easily swayed, especially since he knew very well in his heart that Lu Li didn't like Wen Jianxi, and even hated and loathed her.
Thinking of this, Sect Leader Wen felt his head buzzing. He needed to calm down and re-analyze these interests.
“Brother Lu is absolutely right. Sect Master Wen, rest assured, although your daughter disappeared on your own territory, my City Lord’s Mansion will definitely not stand idly by and will do its best to cooperate.”
Just as Sect Leader Wen felt his mind was in complete disarray, Lian Zheng, who was sitting in the head seat, also spoke up.
However, his words were like stabbing Sect Leader Wen in the back again.
What do you mean by 'disappeared on your own territory'? This is clearly Wanyue City's territory!
What you're saying is worse than saying nothing at all. If you don't speak, I definitely won't treat you like you're mute. Wouldn't it be better if you just act like a silent decoration?
Sect Leader Wen roared inwardly, but could not utter a single word.
After all, the family behind that inn is the Wen family's money bag, and has been continuously providing the Wen family with spirit stones over the years.
If he dares to pin this crime on Wanyue City or Liuyue Sect, the other party can easily pin it on that family.
The other party might even be able to fabricate a lot of evidence to cause that family to drift apart from the Wen family.
Although the current head of the Wen family is his younger brother, and they seem to have a close relationship on a daily basis.
But he knew that Wen Jianxi wasn't qualified to make the Wen family turn against him for her daughter and money.
If that time really comes, the first person the Wen family will abandon is actually his daughter. His dear brother has quite a few children, many of whom are successful.
