Chapter 87: Luo Qianqiu's Panic

~8 min read 1,454 words

"Hahaha!"

Lu Tianyu laughed loudly: "So it seems my Disguise Technique is very successful, even you, his granddaughter, cannot recognize me."

"From now on, I am your grandfather, Guo Laotou. You must mind your words and actions; do not let anyone see through us."

On the way here, he had already made up his mind to impersonate Guo Boxiong and find an excuse to rescue his mother.

With Zhuying accompanying him, rescuing his mother openly and honestly seemed much better than sneaking in.

At this moment, the Xuanqing Sect was searching for him everywhere, and they would certainly expect him to come to the Xuanqing Sect to rescue his mother.

Even if he possessed the Bahuang Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, the difficulty of rescuing someone would surely be significant.

"Ah? You!"

A red flush appeared on Zhuying's fair face: "No, you can impersonate anyone, but you absolutely cannot impersonate my grandfather."

"You have no Spiritual Power; they will be able to tell."

This was preposterous; he had become her grandfather, it was incredibly awkward.

Besides, how could the aura of a grandfather be faked so easily? The chance of being exposed was one hundred percent, and she would be implicated as well.

But a second later, her expression changed drastically.

An irresistible pressure of the soul made her unable to catch her breath all at once.

Lu Tianyu smiled: "Like this, they shouldn't be able to tell, right?"

"The Xuanqing Sect has no cultivators at the Great Vehicle Stage."

"We only need to... but you must not tell your grandfather."

Zhuying was completely stunned.

The 'grandfather' before her eyes was not only similar in appearance and expression, but his tone and mannerisms were also too alike.

Even though she was Guo Boxiong's granddaughter, she would have mistaken this for her 'grandfather'.

Was this Lu Tianyu's courage not a bit too great?

This was actually quite fun, and the method was feasible.

What she found most puzzling was how Lu Tianyu could release such powerful pressure.

Could it be that this person, just as the rumors outside said, had been possessed?

"What? You don't think it looks like him?"

Lu Tianyu saw Zhuying staring blankly and thought she felt it didn't look like him, "Where does it need improvement? Point it out for me."

Zhuying shook her head vigorously: "It looks like him, too much like him."

Whew!

She let out a long breath: "I will keep your secret, but afterward, the Xuanqing Sect will definitely discover they were deceived."

"By then, my grandfather will certainly know."

"If he wants to punish you, I won't care."

Lu Tianyu chuckled: "Your grandfather is trying to set us up as a couple; he won't mind at all."

"You can rest assured about that."

However, his expression then became solemn: "Regarding the matter of me releasing that pressure, you must keep it a secret for me."

"I treat you as a friend."

Zhuying pouted: "I wouldn't go around talking about it."

"But don't get any wild ideas; we are just friends, and I will not be a couple with you."

Her tone was cold.

Yet, for some reason, when she said these words, her heart trembled slightly.

"Good!"

A kind smile appeared on Lu Tianyu's face, "From now on, I am your grandfather."

Zhuying snorted and piloted the flying boat into the Xuanqing Star Domain.

Meanwhile, inside the Xuanqing Sect.

Luo Qianqiu was pacing back and forth in anxiety.

Three days had already passed, and there was not the slightest trace of Lu Tianyu; it was as if Lu Tianyu had vanished into thin air.

His son, Luo Chen, had already come out of seclusion, and upon hearing the news, he was immediately enraged and went out to search personally, but to no avail.

Moreover, Luo Qianqiu was certain that Lu Tianyu could not have returned to the Bahuang Star Domain.

Liu Jinzi had already arrived at the Nether Sect; even if Lu Tianyu were foolish, he wouldn't sneak back to the Bahuang Star Domain to wait for death, but where had he gone?

At this moment, he actually hoped that Lu Tianyu would impersonate someone from the Xuanqing Sect and commit another crime, as that would allow him to lock onto the area where Lu Tianyu was located.

It was just a pity that Lu Tianyu seemed very cautious and had not made a move in these past few days.

If this continued, once Liu Jinzi broke the Bahuang Demon-Suppressing Array and the Nether Three Sects annihilated the Bahuang Star Domain, they would certainly focus their main energy on retaliating against the Xuanqing Sect.

By then, the Xuanqing Sect would be in big trouble.

The strength of the Xuanqing Sect was on par with the Nether Three Sects.

But if the Nether Three Sects acted with treachery and ruthlessness, regardless of the consequences, the entire Xuanqing Sect would surely be in a state of panic, causing him great trouble.

Just at this moment.

A subordinate came to report: "Reporting to the Clan Head, Guo Lao from the Tianshan Sect has come to visit with his granddaughter, Guo Zhuying, saying he wishes to see the Clan Head."

Luo Qianqiu was somewhat dazed: "Ah? What did you say? Guo Lao from the Tianshan Sect is here?"

"And he brought his granddaughter?"

His head was buzzing.

How could he not know of the Tianshan Sect, one of the ten great sects of the Changheng Star Domain?

Guo Lao is a Great Vehicle Stage Ancestor of the Tianshan Sect, and his granddaughter, Guo Zhuying, is the Saintess of the Tianshan Sect.

It is just that he has never had any dealings with the Tianshan Sect; why would Guo Lao bring his granddaughter to visit?

Luo Qianqiu could not help but feel a little nervous.

A top-tier major sect in the Changheng Star Domain like the Tianshan Sect is not something his small Xuanqing Sect can afford to provoke.

If the Tianshan Sect were to find some fault this time, the Xuanqing Sect would be in big trouble.

"Did Guo Lao say what the matter was?"

"He did not."

Luo Qianqiu waved his hand: "Understood, you may go."

He immediately sent word to the Luo Family Ancestor, then walked quickly toward the reception hall.

"Guo Lao has traveled a great distance to come to my Xuanqing Sect, making my Xuanqing Sect shine with splendor."

Luo Qianqiu bowed and cupped his hands toward Lu Tianyu, his attitude extremely respectful, "Luo Qianqiu failed to welcome you from afar, please forgive my offense."

"The two of you, please take your seats; Luo Qianqiu will pour tea for you both."

He could not discern any cultivation base from Lu Tianyu.

He secretly thought that a Great Vehicle Stage Ancestor truly has returned to the basics, appearing no different from an ordinary person.

However, this senior's face held a look of anger, which made his heart skip a beat.

The worst-case scenario had appeared after all; the Tianshan Sect had come to hold them accountable, and the Xuanqing Sect was in big trouble.

Lu Tianyu flicked his robe sleeve: "No need for such trouble."

"I heard you have detained a woman named Luo Yunshang; is this true?"

At this moment, Lu Tianyu was sneering incessantly in his heart.

Back then, when my mother brought me to visit repeatedly, where was that attitude of yours where you looked down your nose at me?

Upon seeing someone you cannot afford to provoke, you wag your tail like a pug; your ability to fawn over the powerful is truly top-tier.

Guo Zhuying, however, was snickering in her heart.

This Lu Tianyu is acting too much like it; he has portrayed my grandfather's arrogant demeanor to perfection.

This kid is quite interesting; life with this guy is full of fun, much more entertaining than being at the Tianshan Sect.

Luo Qianqiu's expression was somewhat flustered: "Senior, Luo Yunshang is my unfilial daughter; I do not know in what way she has offended you, Elder."

"If there is any offense, Luo Qianqiu offers his apologies here first."

"My daughter is currently within the sect; if you are looking for her, Senior, I will have someone bring her over right now."

He bent his waist to nearly ninety degrees, his mind beginning to race with chaotic thoughts.

Luo Yunshang, oh Luo Yunshang, when did you offend someone from the Tianshan Sect? You really know how to cause trouble for me.

You gave birth to a son who impersonated someone from my Xuanqing Sect to cause trouble everywhere, and you yourself are not well-behaved either, actually offending someone from the Tianshan Sect.

Since that is the case, do not blame me, your father, for abandoning you.
