"I wonder if Nephew Lu is aware of my son's disappearance?"
Wen Hong glanced at Lu Li beside him, his tone ambiguous, his eyes carrying a glint that defied interpretation, as if he were pondering something or perhaps calculating something.
"I've heard about it."
Lu Li didn't think much of his appearance and simply replied calmly.
Anyway, whatever his purpose in coming here, we certainly won't let him scheme against us.
As for why they didn't say they didn't know, it's because this is Wanyue City, and the Tianyan Sect made such a big fuss, and Wen Jianxi is the one who went missing.
No matter what, it's impossible for the Liuyue Sect to be unaware of this. The people of Wanyue City would definitely have reported it. So it's a bit unreasonable for him to say he didn't know.
"I heard that Junior Nephew Lu met with my son before he went missing. Could you please tell me about the situation? My son has been missing for many days, and I am really worried about him. I would like to know more about the situation. I hope Junior Nephew Lu can understand."
Seeing Lu Li's calm attitude, without any panic or unease, Sect Master Wen was once again certain that his daughter's disappearance had nothing to do with the other party.
After clarifying the situation, he knew that his daughter's disappearance had nothing to do with Lu Li; she might have been chasing after that male cultivator in the market.
After all, based on his understanding of his daughter's abilities, what the male cultivator obtained in the market must have been a valuable treasure, otherwise his daughter wouldn't have encouraged her senior brother to ask for it.
Another point is that, according to the information he received, the male cultivator in the market was at the late stage of the Golden Core realm, while Lu Li was only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, a difference of one small level.
He asked to see Lu Li partly so that Lu Li could help him find someone, and partly to create an opportunity for his daughter.
As long as Lu Lizhen helps to find the person, and he adds some information to the story afterward, everyone in the entire Yulin Continent will know that Lu Lizhen treats his daughter differently.
With some planning, the marriage will surely go through, fulfilling my daughter's wishes. Wen Jianxi has had her eye on Lu Li for a long time.
On the other hand, of course, they wanted to see what Lu Li's current cultivation level was, and also to determine whether the male cultivator was actually him in disguise.
After all, someone in the late Golden Core stage, about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, couldn't possibly be unknown in the Rainy Continent.
However, he searched for a long time but could not find the corresponding person, so he turned his suspicious gaze to Lu Li.
But as soon as he met Lu Li, he immediately dismissed his doubts. Now, all he wanted was for his previous plan to come to fruition.
As for that male cultivator in the late Golden Core stage, he can look for him again.
At this moment, Wen Hong never even considered that Lu Li could hide his cultivation level. He felt that with his own Nascent Soul cultivation, he wouldn't be unable to see through a junior.
Furthermore, Wen Hong isn't actually that worried about Wen Jianxi's safety right now, since she has a master by her side whom even he can't see through.
As a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he was already close to being one of the top experts on the Rainy Continent. If he couldn't see through someone, that person must be an expert among experts.
If that's the case, what else does he have to worry about?
The thoughts in Sect Leader Wen's mind seemed numerous, but in reality, they were only fleeting moments. Lu Li, on the other hand, began to answer his question.
"It's not a matter of understanding or not understanding. I've never been a father, so I don't quite understand what kind of feelings you're talking about, Sect Master. I did meet your daughter once, but it was just a brief encounter in front of the restaurant, and I haven't seen her since. I don't even know where your daughter is now."
At first, Lu Li directly and subtly rebuked Sect Leader Wen's sarcastic remarks before calmly stating the matter at hand.
What he really wanted to say was: Your daughter tried to extort money from me, but I dodged and retorted. I'm trying to avoid her all the time.
However, considering that the other party's cultivation level was now a whole realm higher than his own, and that he was also the leader of a sect, it was not advisable to make too much of a scene and he still needed to give him some face.
Therefore, Lu Li's words were still somewhat polite, though only somewhat, since Lu Li's cultivation level was not simply that of the Nascent Soul stage.
His cultivation level used to be much higher than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. If it weren't for his injury causing his cultivation level to drop, Wen Hong wouldn't even be qualified to be his equal.
Therefore, in Lu Li's eyes, Nascent Soul cultivators were really not anything remarkable, and naturally, he didn't feel any fear or apprehension.
It's not that he's arrogant, but rather that he truly has the ability. For him, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage or above is just a matter of time.
What he needs to do now is to heal his injuries first, and then restore his former cultivation level.
Unfortunately, Wen Hong was unaware of his thoughts. In Wen Hong's view, Lu Li's words were a complete slap on the wrist, showing no respect whatsoever.
If he hadn't known that the other party was Liu Yu's eldest disciple and a prodigy, Sect Master Wen would probably have wanted to teach him a lesson right now.
However, regardless of Liu Yu or the others in the Liu Yue Sect, they were all extremely protective of their own.
If he dares to make things difficult for Lu Li or Lian Zheng today, Liu Yu and Xiong Yan will probably be at his cave entrance by tomorrow.
This had happened before, when his daughter Wen Jianxi had a conflict with Liu Yu's third disciple, Xu Ruoyun.
Fortunately, there were no other adults from the Liuyue Sect present, so he took advantage of his seniority and his superior cultivation level to directly overpower her.
However, Xu Ruoyun was also a tough person. Even though her spine was shattered by the pressure, she refused to bow her head and kneel down. In the end, she fainted and was taken away by other disciples of the Liuyue Sect.
Her fainting spell was like stirring up a hornet's nest. After stabilizing Xu Ruoyun's injuries, Liu Yu led a group of experts to the Tianyan Sect.
Not only did they run up to his cave and wreak havoc on it, but they also pinned him down and beat him up, saying that it was just to support their disciple and that it didn't involve the two sects.
The situation almost made him vomit blood. He wanted the sect's experts to help, but Liu Yu also brought a group of experts to his door.
Those experts didn't make a move; they just stood straight behind Liu Yu, their attitude quite clear.
If the elders and experts of the Tianyan Sect dare to make a move, they wouldn't mind starting a war.
In the end, Wen Hong compensated Xu Ruoyun with many valuable items, which finally made Liu Yu give up and leave Tianyan Sect with the contents of several large storage rings.
Even now, Wen Hong still feels incredibly aggrieved when he thinks about it. He, the sect leader of the Tianyan Sect, the top of the four sects, was actually beaten down by the sect leader of a bottom-ranking sect. It was just too much.
Fortunately, this matter was kept well under wraps and not many people knew about it. In addition, in order not to let the Liuyue Sect steal the limelight, they had intentionally downplayed the Liuyue Sect's strength over the years.
But only those who have experienced it truly understand. As the one who was beaten up, Wen Hong still treats the Liuyue Sect with great courtesy, a courtesy that comes after being beaten into submission.
