Chapter 271: The Fu Family's Son-in-Law

When Lu Xun was on Yao Xing.

Lan Xing.

After the Ancient God left, Lan Xing was filled with celebration.

The Ancient God's arrival actually resolved the danger for Lan Xing.

The danger of the Yao Xing invasion thus disappeared.

Many people still had some worries.

They worried that after the Ancient God dealt with Yao Xing, it would come after Lan Xing.

In space, the Rainbow Bridge gradually returned to normal, but it was obviously shrinking.

"Sister, what did Grandfather say?"

"Now all the spirit stars have begun to contract, so we can't directly sneak into Yao Xing through spatial rifts; we still don't know what Yao Xing is like, whether it's been destroyed by the Ancient God, so there are some problems."

On South Heaven Gate, Fu Xue and Fu Yue met up.

Beside them, Chu Youqing and Murong Wan were also there.

On both girls' pretty faces, worry hung heavily.

"Or, I'll go beg him..."

Fu Xue hesitated a moment, then suddenly said.

"No..."

Fu Yue instinctively refused, but halfway through speaking, it turned into: "I'll go beg him; this time Lan Xing faces such a great crisis, he only acts at the last moment—this matter, he might not want to handle."

"Then better forget it; he definitely won't intervene, otherwise Mother wouldn't have completely given up on him."

Fu Xue changed her mind.

"That person... she doesn't even want to mention, let alone see."

Fu Yue sighed and said: "There's also a chance he'll handle this matter... Fu Xue, you are Lu Xun's teacher, so I'll leave this to me; after all, he isn't completely without feeling."

Having said that, she walked toward Chu Youqing.

"Youqing, Xiaowan, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Fu Yue pondered for a moment, then said.

"Teacher Fu Yue, please speak."

"Teacher, please speak."

Both girls said at the same time.

"Now, if we want to save Lu Xun, we probably can only ask our fathers to act."

Fu Yue got straight to the point.

Hearing her words, both girls' eyes lit up simultaneously.

They didn't know that Lu Xun had previously encountered the Ancient God, nor that the Ancient God had come for Lu Xun.

But this didn't stop them from being desperate.

A single avatar of the Yao Emperor at the Eight Boundaries capturing Lu Xun was already enough to make people feel utterly desperate.

As a result, an Ancient God then came slaughtering toward Yao Xing.

If it weren't for Lu Xun being captured, they would surely be cheering like the other Lan Xing people.

But since Lu Xun was taken to Yao Xing, they couldn't help but worry.

If Yao Xing is finished, could Lu Xun possibly be finished along with it?

Such a huge Ancient God—who could stop it?

Yet Fu Yue's words gave them hope.

"Teacher Fu Yue, as long as your father is willing to act, we can give him the dark energy and other resources we have; after Lu Xun returns, he will certainly not shortchange you!"

Chu Youqing thought Fu Yue was naming a price, and hastily promised.

Although logically, given Fu Yue's status, her father's strength is absolutely terrifying; what they have in hand, the other side likely wouldn't even glance at.

But at this moment, she couldn't care less about that.

"I don't mean that; Lu Xun went to save us, saving him is also my duty—don't mention compensation."

Fu Yue saw Chu Youqing's misunderstanding and explained.

"Teacher, what do you mean then?"

Chu Youqing didn't understand.

"My father is somewhat special; for ordinary people and ordinary matters, he basically pays no attention; to get him to act, there's probably only one way."

Fu Yue said this, and her expression rarely showed a slight change.

A hint of shyness flashed in her brows and eyes.

It was just a flash and then gone; Chu Youqing and Murong Wan didn't notice.

"Oh?"

Seeing Fu Yue keep selling secrets, Chu Youqing wasn't impatient; instead, she became more curious.

Fu Yue went back and forth, but never said the method.

"This method—could there still be something embarrassing about it?"

"Teacher, may I ask what the method is?"

Murong Wan asked.

Fu Yue pondered a moment, then finally said: "This method is simply that I will tell him Lu Xun is our Fu family's son-in-law; only then might he act."

"The Fu family's son-in-law!"

Fu Yue's words left both girls stunned at the same time.

Obviously, neither girl had thought of it, but the method Fu Yue said turned out to be this.

Teacher, isn't this sacrifice too great for you?

Murong Wan was the first to react.

Her words successfully reminded Chu Youqing, this little clueless one.

Chu Youqing reacted as well.

The Fu family's son-in-law—what about that daughter?

It's likely Fu Yue or Fu Xue standing before us.

Doesn't Fu Yue mean she will tell her father that Lu Xun is her or Fu Xue's boyfriend, so she can ask her father to act?

No wonder Fu Yue wanted to discuss this with her.

Because Chu Youqing is Lu Xun's proper girlfriend.

"Teacher Fu Yue, if this can get your father to act, I definitely won't object, but will it affect your reputation?"

Chu Youqing also said.

Although she sometimes is a bit clueless, she sees this matter very clearly.

In this matter, Fu Yue actually sacrificed her reputation.

Even if the matter doesn't get out, this is still a kind of sacrifice.

To save Lu Xun, Chu Youqing naturally won't object; she just worries this might be bad for Fu Yue.

Beside them, Fu Xue's eyes showed surprise.

No wonder Fu Yue just said, "You are Lu Xun's teacher."

This is considering her relationship with Lu Xun.

If she tells her father about this, if the outside world ever finds out, there might be gossip.

Teacher-student romance is actually nothing, but gossip can spread, and some people are just foul-mouthed, so unpleasant words may inevitably arise.

On Fu Yue's side, there's no need to worry about this issue.

She isn't Lu Xun's teacher either.

"This matter won't leak out; as long as you agree, there's no problem."

Fu Yue appeared quite calm.

"Alright, Teacher Fu Yue, thank you for your trouble."

Chu Youqing didn't notice at all that Fu Yue used "you guys".

Obviously, Fu Yue finally figured out that, in name, Lu Xun and Chu Youqing are actually a couple.

But she had previously thought that Lu Xun and Murong Wan were the couple.

These relationships left Fu Yue somewhat confused.

After obtaining Chu Youqing's consent, Fu Yue then took out a flying boat and left.

Fu Xue and the two girls continued waiting on the South Heaven Gate.

After more than two hours,

Fu Yue appeared again.

"Older sister, how is it?"

Fu Xue asked eagerly.

"He agreed, but we need to first activate the Heavenly Stars Instrument to locate the Yao Xing."

Fu Yue brought good news.

"Great!"

Chu Youqing cheered.

Murong Wan's expression also relaxed.

With Fu Yue and Fu Xue so confident, they naturally had confidence.

Don't forget, Fu Yue is a Seven Realm Expert.

Her father is definitely stronger.

Just then.

On the Rainbow Bridge, a flash of rosy light.

Immediately after, a figure appeared on the South Heaven Gate.

"Huh, Lu Xun?"

Chu Youqing saw that figure and instinctively rubbed her eyes, thinking she had misseen.

"Lu Xun?"

Hearing her words, Fu Yue, Fu Xue, and Murong Wan all looked over.

They happened to see the scene of the rosy light dissipating from Lu Xun's body.

Almost simultaneously, the three girls blinked.

Obviously,

Even Fu Yue, a Seven Realm Expert, at this moment thought she was seeing things.
