Chapter 37: Involved the Entire Supernatural World!

Lu Jin’s suspicion that he might be plotting against him was dismissed by Luo Fu in an instant.

Though Luo Fu had not yet activated the Seven Sins Eye, which had become his innate supernatural ability.

But this ability itself granted Luo Fu a sharp perception of others’ Seven Deadly Sins, and even a faint sense of their emotions.

Especially now, with Lu Jin and Tian Jinzhong revealing nothing, Luo Fu sensed no greed or covetousness on them—only guilt toward him.

In that instant, Luo Fu suddenly understood.

Lu Jin and Tian Jinzhong held views entirely different from his own.

Two elders, combined age over two hundred, still clung to the old ideals of lineage continuation and ancestral worship.

Especially after learning that Luo Fu was a third-generation only son, and under company pressure, he might not be spared.

Lu Jin and Tian Jinzhong had voluntarily decided to secure Luo Fu’s lineage—even at the cost of sacrificing Lu Linglong, whom Lu Jin cherished like his own eyes.

There are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names. Perhaps Lu Jin truly harbored an unsolvable inner knot. But his lifelong reputation for impeccable integrity, recognized by the entire Supernatural World, proved that Luo Fu could, to some extent, trust him.

Realizing the true intent of the two elders, Luo Fu could only laugh and sigh in exasperation.

“Master, Master Tian, things aren’t that dire yet. Are we not being overly anxious by discussing this now?”

“Better safe than sorry,” Lu Jin sighed. “I’ll speak to Linglong, Zhi Jinhua, and Bai Shixue. If Itachi don’t like any of them, during the Luotian Da Jiao, pick any girl Itachi like—I’ll beg on my knees to make it happen. Not just me—Master Tian, even your Master Li Zhang Zhiwei will help. As supernaturals, Itachi may think Master Li and I are among the Ten Elders, but if the company makes a decision, we have no power to resist.”

Though Luo Fu aspired to the Dao, he was not truly detached from emotion. His xinggong was his weakness, and after sharing the power of Uchiha Luofu and Demon Slayer Luofu, his body was strong but his mind fragile—he had naturally admired beautiful young women before.

But Zhang Lingyu’s lesson, coupled with Zhang Chulan’s preserved virginity and ten-year setback before rising to win the Luotian Da Jiao, served as a stark warning.

Luo Fu would not lightly abandon his virginity.

Yet as Lu Jin and Tian Jinzhong said—if he were imprisoned in the Black Fortress indefinitely, then his virginity would no longer matter.

Leaving behind an heir would be a good thing.

If in the future he shared even greater power—say, from a Immortal or his own xuanhuan world—then the Black Fortress could never hold him. But by then, whether he kept his virginity would be meaningless.

His expression shifted. To Luo Fu, Lu Jin and Tian Jinzhong now vaguely resembled matchmakers. The two elders, along with Zhang Zhiwei, the Old Celestial Master, had extended Luo Fu’s “beauty selection” to the entire Luotian Da Jiao.

Luo Fu even suspected that, were it not for the company’s imminent threat, their scope might have expanded to the entire Supernatural Circle.

With Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong, two veteran elders of Longhu Mountain, plus Lu Jin, patriarch of the famed Lu family, even if Luo Fu chose a girl from the Lü clan—whose bloodline must not be diluted—Lu Ci would still have to think twice.

Luo Fu bowed deeply to Lu Jin and Tian Jinzhong. “Thank Itachi, Master, Master Tian—I am deeply grateful!”

Lu Jin gave a bitter smile. “If I had any other way, I would never force Itachi into such a decision.”

He looked at Luo Fu with deep guilt, then forced himself to speak: “Luo Fu, if things truly become hopeless one day, I beg Itachi… don’t make any extreme choices. Even if the company imprisons Itachi in the Black Fortress, I will do everything I can to protect Itachi from outside.”

Luo Fu knew Lu Jin said this because he feared that if Luo Fu broke completely with the company—or worse, fought back—it might drag the entire Supernatural World into ruin.

Put bluntly, Lu Jin, Tian Jinzhong, and the absent Zhang Zhiwei were trying to plant a tether in Luo Fu’s heart.

“I understand!” Luo Fu answered without hesitation.

But the more resolute Luo Fu was, the heavier Lu Jin and Tian Jinzhong’s hearts grew.

To them, it felt like they were actively aiding the company against their own disciple.

“Itachi… Itachi must take care of yourself!” Lu Jin’s eyes reddened.

A man of deep feeling, Lu Jin’s inner torment was unimaginable—he had guessed Luo Fu’s likely fate, yet could do nothing to stop it.

The glow of talismans flashed instantly across the room’s exterior.

Lu Jin wheeled Tian Jinzhong out of the room.

His expression changed instantly. He called out loudly: “Canglong, take Master Tian back! Linglong, Zhi Jinhua, Bai Shixue—Itachi three, follow me!”

After leading the three bewildered girls to a secluded spot,

Lu Jin seemed almost too embarrassed to speak, stammering for a long while before forcing out: “Linglong, your great-grandfather has arranged a marriage for Itachi!”

Instantly, Lu Linglong’s face turned crimson, as if ready to bleed.

“G-G-G-Great-grandfather, w-what are Itachi saying?!” Linglong could barely form a coherent sentence.

“Don’t panic!” Lu Jin sighed softly, then turned to Zhi Jinhua and Bai Shixue. “This marriage isn’t finalized yet. One of Itachi three will be the bride—but we haven’t decided who yet.”

“What?” Now it was Zhi Jinhua and Bai Shixue’s turn to be stunned.

Though Bai Shixue looked youthful, she was actually slightly older than Luo Fu—she had already been in university when Shen Chong slaughtered her family. Zhi Jinhua was a white-collar worker.

Yet the truth of the three-way choice still threw all three girls into chaos.

After a long silence, Zhi Jinhua was the first to speak: “Grandmaster Lu, what exactly happened? Can we know the reason?”

“Yes, Great-grandfather! Itachi just randomly betroth all three of us—and make us choose among ourselves? This is too much!” Linglong’s round, baby-faced cheeks puffed up in outrage, her earlier shyness gone.
