Chapter 444: What the Heck Is the

"Lv Qianhu, just now in front of me you sneered at me, as if you completely despised me, a connected household!"

Yu Die looked at Lü Tu's disappointed expression, thought for a moment, could guess Lü Tu's thoughts, and sneered: "Why are you trying to pull strings here yourself?"

"Connections?"

Lü Tu smiled, did not deny, and said coolly: "Yu Baihu, I'm not like you. I want to get closer to Brother Li, also thinking of my own future. What I intend to do is simply ask him for a chance, a chance for me to compete fairly with others!"

He paused, his face twisted into a snarl, coldly stared at Yu Die, his face and eyes full of barely concealed anger, and said:

"In this world, many people have many things, and they won't even leave a single fair‑competition opportunity for others!"

He's not the stubborn type; if Yu Die truly has skill and, through her own cultivation, becomes a Hundred Commander of the Capital City Demon‑Suppression Office, even if connections are involved, he wouldn't say much.

But Yu Die's ability…

To say without exaggeration, even in their ordinary Fengyin County, one doesn't qualify to be a Demon‑Suppression Office Hundred Commander, let alone in the Capital City Demon‑Suppression Office—a place where Heaven's Pride gathers.

Not to mention him; even his direct superior would have objections about Yu Die.

Yu Die sneered: "Whether you say a thousand or ten thousand, it's still about using a backdoor. You use a backdoor, you have countless reasons to justify it, you are noble; I use a backdoor, does that make me lowly?"

Lü Tu opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but seeing Yu Die's expression, he knew nothing he said would help, so the words swallowed back. He strode forward, collected Tang Anzhi's corpse, and turned to leave.

Yu Die chased after him, scoffing: "What, Lv Qianhu, you know you can't outtalk me, so you hide like a turtle here?"

Lü Tu ignored Yu Die, because he knew that sometimes logic doesn't work; everyone has their own thoughts, and their understanding of reason differs.

Zhang Family.

Wei Yuan watched Lü Tu and Yu Die walk forward one after another, felt a sudden joy, hurriedly asked: "Lv Qianhu, what exactly happened outside just now?"

While Lü Tu and Yu Die were away, his heart was uneasy, fearing the vanished mysterious person might reappear, abduct or even kill him.

He guessed that the vanished mysterious person had deep ties with the Zhang Family; as long as he doesn't betray the Zhang Family, the mysterious person shouldn't harm him.

But it's not fearing ten thousand, it's fearing that one chance!

He had once been seized by the mysterious person, even witnessed Tang Anzhi attacked by them. He still cares about his own life and death; after all, he embezzled—*cough*—gained huge benefits by special means, hasn't used them yet, has dozens of concubines, and many worldly pleasures still await him.

He doesn't want to leave the mortal world like that!

As Lü Tu and Yu Die left one after another, even near the Zhang Family, there were one capture officer after another, yet he felt no safety; the slightest rustle made him tremble. He had matters to discuss with Zhang De Ben, but now he has no mind to speak with Zhang De Ben.

He can only let Zhang De Ben chat with his own family!

Until Lü Tu and Yu Die appeared again, he finally exhaled, the heart that was about to burst out of his throat settled.

Lü Tu didn't answer Wei Yuan's question; instead, a thought flashed, and he took a storage bag from his Storage Ring, handed it to Wei Yuan, and looked at Wang Ping'an in Liu Dongzhu's arms. For some reason, his gaze grew more fond, and he hurriedly said:

"How about it, Madam Wang, does the child Ping'an like the Divine Technique I gave him?"

Liu Dongzhu smiled awkwardly, seeming unsure how to answer. Lü Tu frowned: "What, he doesn't like the Divine Technique I gave? I can give him another…"

Before he finished, Liu Dongzhu subconsciously shook her head, Lü Tu instantly realized, and said with slight displeasure: "Madam Wang, you haven't shown Ping'an my Divine Technique manual?"

Liu Dongzhu nodded awkwardly.

"I knew it, the Divine Technique I carefully selected for this child, how could Ping'an not like it!"

Lü Tu snorted, his face full of smugness, recalling the scene when Wang Ping'an read 'Nine Heavens Sword Secrets', and said: "Madam Wang, why don't you bring out my Divine Technique for the child to see? I believe Ping'an will be riveted, more attentive than when he reads the Nine Heavens Sword Secrets!"

Liu Dongzhu wanted to refuse, but thinking Lü Tu meant well, she took out the yellowed book he had handed her before leaving.

"'Golden Bell Iron Cloth Shirt'?"

Dai Zhishang looked at the cover text of the yellowed book Liu Dongzhu produced, couldn't help but chuckle: "Lv Qianhu, I've only heard of the Golden Bell Shield and the Iron Cloth Shirt. What kind of thing is your Golden Bell Iron Cloth Shirt?"

"Young Master Dai, you simply lack insight. The Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt you mention are common street trash; my Golden Bell Iron Cloth Shirt is the genuine Horizontal Refinement Technique. When cultivated to perfection, even sword cultivators famed for their attack power cannot harm it a hair's breadth!"

Lü Tu's face was full of arrogance; seeing Dai Zhishang's equally smug expression, he said without concealment: "Young Master Dai, if you don't believe it, wait a few decades. When this child fully cultivates this Horizontal Refinement Technique, it will surely leave you dumbfounded!"

This novel you…

Dai Zhishang said nothing, but turned his head toward Yu Die, seemingly expecting her to answer his doubt.

Of course.

The most likely scenario is that Yu Die pretends not to have seen his gaze.

"This 'Golden Bell Iron Cloth Shirt'…"

Yu Die suddenly spoke; under Dai Zhishang's delighted gaze, just as she was about to explain, before she could finish, a startled shout was heard, drawing everyone's attention.

The screaming person was Wei Yuan; his face was deathly pale, no color at all, his face and eyes filled with terror, as if he had seen something extremely horrifying. The storage bag Lü Tu had given him was also instinctively thrown away by Wei Yuan.

Yu Die gave Lü Tu a strange look; she naturally knew why Wei Yuan turned like this, but didn't point it out.

Zhang Chengze picked up the storage bag Wei Yuan had dropped on the ground, briskly approached Wei Yuan, and was about to hand it back.

Wei Yuan, seeing the bag, as if he saw a raging beast, shouted in terror: "Quick, quick, quickly take that bag away from me, take it away!"

Zhang Chengze looked at Wei Yuan with a puzzled expression, not knowing why he had become like this, and instinctively turned his head toward Lü Tu.
