Fu Chishang looked completely uninterested, not even glancing at him.
There are too many people trying to flatter and fawn over him; if he had to deal with them all, he would be exhausted.
This is Xiaoxi's grand event to reach the top. He guessed that Xiaoxi would cause trouble at this event, so he came here specifically to support her.
Seeing that Fu Chishang remained silent, Lu Chengnan, thick-skinned and not feeling embarrassed at all, continued to try to find a topic to talk about.
"Sect Master Fu, have you come here today for the medicinal beasts of the Illusionary Hidden Sect?"
Upon hearing Lu Chengnan say this, Fu Chishang slightly lifted her eyelids to look at him.
Seeing that there was a reaction, Lu Chengnan thought that he had hit the nail on the head, and continued, "The Illusionary Hidden Sect is just a mid-level power, not even a top-level power."
"For them to confront the Snowfall Sect is like an egg hitting a rock, a self-inflicted humiliation. With Sect Master Fu's abilities, obtaining the medicinal beast is a piece of cake."
"If Sect Master Fu desires medicinal beasts, our Giant Roaring Sect is ready to charge into battle for Sect Master Fu and lend him a helping hand."
“The Giant Roaring Sect?” Fu Chishang murmured. “If I remember correctly, you only recently became a mid-level power.”
Lu Chengnan chuckled and said in a flattering tone, "I didn't expect that Sect Master Fu would know about our Juming Sect. It's all thanks to Sect Master Fu's blessing, we're just lucky."
"I heard that the sect leader of the Illusionary Hidden Sect is a beautiful woman. When the time comes, Sect Leader Fu will not only be able to seize the medicinal beast, but also gain a beauty."
Lu Chengnan continued talking to himself, completely unaware that Fu Chishang's face was growing increasingly dark.
Fu Chishang's voice was as cold as ice shards, as he said, "Who do you think you are? You dare to speak ill of Sect Master Ruan of the Illusionary Hidden Sect."
"If you dare to gossip again, I'll rip your tongue out! Get out!"
Lu Chengnan didn't know what he had said wrong, but the sect leader of Fu Sect suddenly became angry.
But seeing Fu Chishang's angry expression, she was afraid that saying another word would only annoy him more, so she quickly and sheepishly left.
Zi Ren, standing behind Fu Chi Shang, sneered. This fool tried to flatter His Highness, but ended up making a fool of himself.
He had served His Highness for many years, and apart from the Goddess, he had never seen His Highness show such care, patience, and consideration for anyone.
Even if Your Highness's affection for Sect Leader Ruan is due to the Goddess, Sect Leader Ruan still holds a very important place in Your Highness's heart, and no one can easily shake that position.
The fact that Lu Chengnan, the sect leader of the Juming Sect, dared to speak ill of Sect Leader Ruan in front of His Highness is nothing short of being a clown.
"Recently, the Giant Roaring Sect has made a name for itself by taking advantage of the resources of many small forces that were destroyed by the Illusionary Concealment Sect, making its sect one of the many mid-level forces."
"You still dare to slander the Illusionary Hidden Sect? Bah! Disgusting bastard." Ye Shu, sitting to the side, could hardly hide the disgust on her face. "You were just talking so much nonsense to him. If it were me, I would have whipped him."
“Today is the home turf of the Illusionary Concealment Sect. We shouldn’t steal the spotlight from them. If we want to teach them a lesson, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.” Fu Chishang picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
Ye Shu nodded in affirmation, "You've considered things quite thoroughly. I've noticed that you treat Sect Leader Ruan with special affection."
Ye Shu stared at Fu Chishang and said something shocking, "Sect Leader Fu, you wouldn't happen to have taken a liking to Sect Leader Ruan, would you?"
"Pfft—cough cough cough!" Fu Chishang spat out the tea in his mouth and coughed violently as if he was startled.
"Sect Leader Ruan is quite good. She's good-looking and has a good personality. Most importantly, she's only a teenager. You wouldn't be thinking of taking advantage of a young girl, would you?"
"Although you're not bad-looking either, don't go around messing with young girls, it's immoral!" Ye Shu rested her chin on her hand, she was really worried about Fu Chishang.
"No! Which eye of yours saw that I was interested in Xiaoxi? Don't talk nonsense. And where am I old? I'm clearly handsome and dashing," Fu Chishang emphasized.
"Alright, alright, handsome as a jade tree in the wind." Ye Shu suppressed a laugh and said, "Sect Leader Fu, when did you become so narcissistic and childish?"
Fu Chishang took a deep breath; he was about to lose his mind from anger at this woman.
"Ye Shu." Fu Chishang blinked his peach blossom eyes and looked at Ye Shu, suddenly calling her name.
"What?" Ye Shu asked warily. Whenever this person called her by her full name like that, it was never a good thing.
“I’m usually pretty good to you, so why don’t you ever say that I’m interested in you?” Fu Chishang’s teasing eyes were filled with a hint of provocation.
"You... what nonsense are you talking about!" Ye Shu glared at him, and only when she saw Fu Chishang suddenly chuckle did she realize that she had been tricked.
"Fu Chishang, you dare to play me? I'll whip you today!" Ye Shu's hand instantly reached for the long whip at her waist, but before she could take it out, Fu Chishang grabbed her wrist to stop her.
"Alright, stop fooling around. This is the territory of the Illusionary Concealment Sect. It wouldn't be good for us to start a fight here. It would be terrible if we accidentally ruined their carefully prepared grand event."
Ye Shu could only swallow her anger for the time being. She stomped hard on Fu Chishang's instep with her foot under the table. "I'll remember this debt for now and settle it with you another day."
Fu Chishang forcefully pulled his foot back, his face changing slightly in pain. He had really kicked her hard; it seemed he had truly angered her this time.
Lu Chengnan was extremely annoyed at failing to curry favor with the Snowfall Sect, and the mocking glances from all around him made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
Frustrated, he got up and left the training ground, intending to wander around and avoid seeing it from his mind.
On the other side, Lu Ji checked the sect's defenses and planned to report to Ruan Xiyan.
Suddenly, an attack came from behind. Lu Ji's eyes sharpened, and he dodged to the side.
Before he could even see who it was, a sharp, piercing voice rang out first, "Lu Ji! I didn't expect it to really be you, you little beast."
Lu Ji looked at Lu Chengnan in front of him, his expression changing slightly. "It's you."
Some embarrassing memories that had been buried deep in my heart resurfaced.
"I'm your father, and this is how you talk to your father!"
"And what kind of father are you?" Lu Ji sneered. In his memory, there was never any so-called father, only beatings and scoldings.
"You damned bastard!" Lu Chengnan cursed angrily. He was already in a bad mood, and now he saw this annoying thing who dared to talk back to him.
Lu Chengnan wanted to vent his anger by beating him up as he had done before, and he used his strength to attack Lu Ji directly.
But Lu Ji was no longer the same person who could be beaten and scolded at will and had no power to resist.
The two forces collided, and the aftershocks spread outwards, causing both of them to take a few steps back.
"You actually dare to lay a hand on me!" Lu Chengnan's eyes widened in disbelief.
