Chapter 127: What exactly is going on with your leg?

Upon hearing this, Xia Daoming couldn't help but feel a bit moved.

Firstly, he was completely unfamiliar with the Ten Thousand Spiral Xianshan. If he could follow the Lu family people there, he could save himself a lot of trouble and learn more about the situation.

Secondly, Lu Ye valued the bonds of his fellow disciples. Since he wanted to develop at the Ten Thousand Spiral Xianshan, Xia Daoming felt he needed to help him keep an eye on things. If it wasn't a good place, it would be better to persuade him to return to Li Cheng to develop.

As the saying goes, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

Although Li Cheng was a backwater compared to Qinglincheng and the Ten Thousand Spiral Xianshan, at the very least, in Li Cheng, he, Xia Daoming, could look after him.

Of course, it was still too early to say these things.

Distance tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's heart.

Li Cheng hid many secrets, and Lu Ye was involved with an immortal cultivation family. Even if he wanted to bring them to Li Cheng, he would need to spend more time with them and observe.

"Coming out this time, I've heard quite a few things about immortal cultivators. I really am planning to take a trip to the Ten Thousand Spiral Xianshan to see it. If Xu Shixiong could take me along, that would be best, but I'm just worried this might put you in a difficult position, Xu Shixiong." Xia Daoming quickly made his decision.

"What difficulty? You are Master's youngest disciple. When out and about, if I, as your Xu Shixiong, don't help you, who will?" Lu Ye immediately patted his thick chest and said.

"What help?" Just at this moment, Lu Huiyun brought people out with tea and snacks. Hearing this, she raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Xia Shidi Xu Shixiong said he also wants to go to the Ten Thousand Spiral Xianshan. I was thinking of bringing him along. Why don't you go talk to Seeing Seeing Lu Ziying?" Lu Ye said.

"What did you say?" Lu Huiyun's voice suddenly grew loud, with a bit of a 'shrewish' air.

However, after shouting, Lu Huiyun immediately realized Xia Daoming was also there. She immediately switched to a gentle voice and spoke softly to Lu Ye: "Husband, come over here for a moment. I have something to tell you."

Having said that, she beamed at Xia Daoming and said: "Daoming, don't be a stranger. Have some tea and snacks. Your Xu Shixiong and I are going to the back to chat for a bit."

"Daoming is my Xia Shidi Xu Shixiong. What is there that can't be said in front of him, that you have to..." Lu Ye muttered, but after being pinched by Lu Huiyun's large hand, he stopped talking and obediently followed her into the inner room.

"I'm telling you, Lu Ye, you need to go and tell your Xia Shidi Xu Shixiong no. Going to the Ten Thousand Spiral Xianshan is no small matter. You can't just bring someone along because you want to." Lu Huiyun said.

"Seeing Seeing Lu Ziying grew up playing with you and has the deepest feelings for you. You should go and help put in a good word. No matter what, Daoming came all the way to Muzhou, specifically asking everywhere about me, his Xu Shixiong, and brought me news of Master and our fellow disciples. For the sake of this sentiment, I, as his Xu Shixiong, should help him along.

Besides, Daoming is young and already has the cultivation base of a fifth-rank Wu Shi. It shows his martial arts talent is quite good. If we can bring him to the Ten Thousand Spiral Xianshan, he can also help out; he won't be a free-loader. As the saying goes, brothers fight together, and father and son go into battle together. Daoming and I are fellow disciples, just like brothers. If he follows us, we will have some support at Jin Guifeng." Lu Ye said.

"Do you think Ziying is still the same Ziying? She is now worlds apart from us, and her status in the family is no longer what it used to be. That she is willing to take us there this time, and has even promised to help us beg the Jin Guifeng Great Sect to give Jin Er a chance, is already quite remarkable. How can we ask for more?" Lu Huiyun said.

"But I've already said it. You have to help me go and talk to her. If it really doesn't work, I'll have a reply and an arrangement." Lu Ye said.

"Fine, I'll go and talk to her." Lu Huiyun said helplessly.

——

The next day.

A horse team of thirteen people escorted a carriage as it left Jinxiu Valley. The person driving the carriage was Lu Huiyun, who was tall and sturdy like an iron tower, and sitting beside her was a little boy.

That was her son, Lu Yunjin.

"An eighth-rank Wu Shi leading eleven Great Martial Masters below the eighth-rank as guards, with a seventh-rank Wu Shi as a coachman—the status of immortal cultivators is truly high!" Xia Daoming and Lu Ye trailed behind, watching Lu Huiyun whip the horses in front, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Because the immortal cultivator sitting inside, Seeing Seeing Lu Ziying, had specifically summoned him once last night. Judging by Xia Daoming's current discernment, he estimated her cultivation was likely around the third layer of Qi Refinement.

With such a cultivation base, even with a magic treasure in hand, eight or nine times out of ten, she would not be a match for a Grandmaster.

But just because she was an immortal cultivator, Seeing Seeing Lu Ziying's status in the Jinxiu Valley Lu family was comparable to a ninth-rank Grandmaster.

"By the way, Xu Shixiong, what exactly is going on with your leg?" Xia Daoming felt a sense of emotion in his heart, his gaze falling on Lu Ye's right leg as he asked.

After a short contact yesterday, Xia Daoming already understood that although Lu Huiyun was very sturdy and powerful, and spoke like a 'shrew', she definitely had no tendency toward domestic violence.

Lu Ye also didn't seem to have the guts to go out and cheat.

This leg couldn't have been broken by her.

A flash of humiliation crossed Lu Ye's eyes, and then he forced a smile: "It's nothing, it's just..."

"It's nothing, it's just that it was broken by Young Master Lu Chengtian!" A sixth-rank Great Wu Shi in front turned his head, his face showing a trace of mockery and disdain.

"Heh, who is Young Master Lu Chengtian? You, Lu Ye, a live-in son-in-law, dared to meddle in his affairs—getting beaten was deserved. If it weren't for Yun Hui kneeling and begging bitterly, you would have been beaten to death long ago!" A seventh-rank Great Wu Shi turned his head and interjected.

While speaking, his gaze specifically glanced at Xia Daoming, carrying a trace of mockery and disdain.

Lu Ye lowered his head and didn't answer, but Xia Daoming could see that the hand gripping the reins was trembling slightly.

Xia Daoming pulled on the reins, incidentally also pulling on Lu Ye's reins.

The horse neighed softly and kicked the ground in place.

The two Great Martial Masters in front saw Xia Daoming pull the horse to a stop, the corners of their mouths curling into a sneer as they continued to follow the horse team forward.

"Hmph, not even thinking about his status as a live-in son-in-law, he really thinks that because Lu Huiyun is devoted to him, he is a Lu family son-in-law? This time he even brought a fellow disciple along!" one Great Wu Shi said coldly, not bothering to lower his voice.

Xia Daoming raised his eyes and coldly looked at the two Great Martial Masters in front, then looked at the aggrieved Lu Ye.

Lu Ye saw Xia Daoming looking over and quickly changed to a smile, looking indifferent: "Don't mind them. These two have never gotten along with me. They are jealous that I can bring a Xia Shidi Xu Shixiong to the Ten Thousand Spiral Xianshan, while they can't bring anyone."

"Who is Young Master Lu Chengtian? Why did he break your leg, Xu Shixiong?" Xia Daoming asked.

Lu Ye was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly: "Young Master Lu Chengtian is the direct grandson of the Jinxiu Valley Lu family head. He was sent to the Jin Guifeng Great Sect to study immortal arts when he was very young and rarely returns to Jinxiu Valley.

I am just a live-in son-in-law, and your sister-in-law is from a side branch. In her generation, there isn't even a single male; they are all women, so she has no weight in the clan at all.

That Lu Chengtian is the direct grandson of the family head and has cultivated immortality since childhood, so his status is noble and transcendent. Although according to seniority he should call me uncle-in-law, in reality, I don't even have the qualifications to see him.

A few years ago, I saw a young man molesting a woman on the road and felt a sense of righteous indignation, so I stepped forward to stop him. I didn't expect that young man to be Young Master Lu Chengtian.

Later, my leg was broken by him. Come to think of it, if it weren't for your sister-in-law begging bitterly, I probably would have lost my life. Even so, I lay in bed for a full half-year and almost couldn't get up.

Fortunately, your sister-in-law took meticulous care of me and sought good medicine from many places, so I was able to stand up again, but I was basically a cripple.

For those few years, I was disheartened and like a walking corpse. It was also during those years that I lost contact with Master. It was also thanks to your sister-in-law's constant encouragement, and she didn't hesitate to sell many family assets to exchange for many elixirs for me to take.

Feeling her painstaking efforts, I gradually woke up, worked hard, and finally managed to break through last year to become a sixth-rank Great Wu Shi. Come to think of it, it was a blessing in disguise, but these years have truly been hard on your sister-in-law."

"Xu Shixiong and Sister-in-law are truly a loving couple; it makes one very envious!" Xia Daoming said, feeling very moved after hearing this.

"Cough, cough. To be honest, back then, after losing my virginity while drunk at Zuiyun Tower and marrying into the Lu family, I was actually very unwilling and even thought about running away. But considering I had ruined the innocence of a young girl, running away like that would truly be worse than a beast.

So I resolutely took on the responsibility. Looking back now, fortunately, I made that decision that day, otherwise, how would I have known your sister-in-law was this good." Lu Ye said with emotion.

Xia Daoming looked at Lu Ye with sudden respect.

At this moment, the status of Xu Shixiong Lu in his heart was no different from Yuchi Xiao and the others.

"By the way, is that Lu Lu Chengtian at Jin Guifeng now? Do you know what his cultivation is?" Xia Daoming asked, a cold, sharp glint flashing deep in his eyes.

"Originally, Lu Lu Chengtian returned to Jinxiu Valley two years ago, but starting this year, Jin Guifeng has been summoning the few immortal cultivation disciples of Jinxiu Valley back one after another, and also brought many Great Martial Masters over. Seeing Seeing Lu Ziying should be considered the last one.

As for what Lu Lu Chengtian's cultivation is, I don't know, but it is said that he can fight the family head to a standstill, and the family head is a ninth-rank Grandmaster.

Come to think of it, immortal cultivators are truly powerful. How old is Lu Lu Chengtian, and he can already fight a Martial Arts Grandmaster to a standstill." Lu Ye thought for a moment and replied, not suspecting anything.

"Regardless of whether he is powerful or not, since he molested a woman and didn't listen to advice, and even broke your leg, causing you to lie in bed for half a year—when I see him another day, I must break his dog legs!" Xia Daoming said.

"Shh, you can't say things like that!" Lu Ye's face turned a bit pale with fright upon hearing this, and he quickly said. While speaking, he guiltily glanced at the carriage team that had already walked some distance away.

"Fortunately, we are trailing behind and weren't heard by others, otherwise if this were to spread, it would be a heaven-reaching disaster. Xia Shidi Xu Shixiong, you are still young and inevitably hot-headed, but you must remember that in Li Cheng, a fifth-rank Wu Shi can barely be considered a figure, but once you reach the Ten Thousand Spiral Xianshan, where many immortal cultivators live, we are the people at the very bottom. A single spell could take our lives. You must be cautious in your words and actions." Lu Ye retracted his gaze from the carriage team in front, his expression grave.

Xia Daoming hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but still nodded: "Okay, Xu Shixiong. But do you know what the cultivation of the most powerful person in the Jin Guifeng Lu family Great Sect is?"
