Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Chapter 875: Chapter 875 The Matter Is Far from Over

True Person Jingyun almost didn’t spew out a mouthful of old blood.

It’s commonly said, “Overly gentle mothers will spoil their children.” This white-haired old woman was actually her great-grandmother, five generations apart from her nephew Lv Yanqing, yet more doting on this wastrel than even his own elder sister-in-law.

“Little Fifth Brother,” this nickname, too, was given by the great-grandmother.

It was said that Lv Yanqing bore a striking resemblance to his late great-grandfather, and for that reason, he was especially indulged by the great-grandmother.

Indeed, Lv Yanqing’s current conduct was greatly related to the cultivation technique he practiced, but without this extreme doting from his ancestors, he wouldn’t have been so willfully arrogant and contemptible to others.

True Person Jingyun worried that if this continued, Lv Yanqing might bring about consequences that the Lv family couldn’t afford even before he formed his Golden Core.

Thinking of Wang Chen, True Person Jingyun’s inner worries only intensified!

“Grandma!”

Lv Yanqing was five generations removed from his great-grandmother, but he always called her “Grandma.” He cried and pled his “injustice” to her, his words blaming True Person Jingyun throughout their exchange.

In the end, the most favored young member of the Lv family said, “Grandma, I really like that girl. As long as she becomes my Taoist companion, I’m willing to stay home and diligently cultivate, never again causing trouble!”

“Ah!”

The great-grandmother’s eyes lit up with joy at these words, clapping her hands and saying, “That would be perfect! Rest assured, my dear grandson, your grandmother will definitely make your wish come true!”

At this point, True Person Jingyun sensed something was amiss, but before she could speak up, the great-grandmother’s gaze fixed on her: “Jingyun, go and negotiate with that person. Let him give up the girl Little Fifth Brother fancies; he can name his own terms!”

True Person Jingyun responded gravely, “Great-grandmother, I’m afraid that’s not possible.”

Although she had only met Wang Chen a few times, she already had a considerable understanding of his character.

Wang Chen seemed gentle and approachable but was actually very principled and opinionated; such a person would not be easily swayed by external factors, nor would he accept threats.

“Why is it not possible?”

The great-grandmother grew visibly displeased: “In my Lingyou Lv Family, we have three Golden Cores plus another two from your elder sister-in-law’s family. In thousands of miles around, who would dare disrespect our Lv family?”

“It’s just some girl. As long as he’s not muddle-headed, he will surely know what to do!”

In fact, apart from the background of five Golden Cores, the Lv family also had connections to a Nascent Soul True Immortal!

That was why the great-grandmother was so confident.

True Person Jingyun was left with no choice but to send a Talisman Message to Wang Chen.

After waiting two hours for a response, Wang Chen’s reply contained only four words:

Wishful thinking.

“Audacious!”

The great-grandmother exploded with rage: “An insolent junior!”

“Ah~”

Lv Yanqing was even more agitated, throwing himself to the ground and rolling around, flailing his legs and crying out loudly: “I want her, I must have that girl! Without her, I might as well die, ah ah ah!”

The great-grandmother was immediately thrown into a panic, cajoling and coaxing him. Finally, she turned her furious gaze to True Person Jingyun: “Look at the mess you’ve made over such a trifle; can’t you even handle this?”

True Person Jingyun was truly exhausted: “Great-grandmother, although True Person Wang is young, I truly do not wish to offend him, and I certainly do not want our Lv family to breed resentment against him!”

Indeed, the Lv family was a household with three Golden Cores, apart from True Person Jingyun herself, including a High-Order Golden Core family head.

But this family head, True Person Jingyun’s granduncle, was obsessed with alchemy, foolishly hoping to ascend to immortality through elixirs, and he hardly concerned himself with family affairs, squandering a vast fortune besides.

The other was the great-grandmother before her, often said that an old person in the house is like a treasure, but she had grown more muddled and willful with age, becoming a huge headache to deal with.

Therefore, the only one truly upholding the Lv family’s honor was True Person Jingyun alone.

“As for her sister-in-law’s two Golden Cores, True Person Jingyun was caught off guard, so how could she possibly leverage their power!”

“Inviting the wolf into the house is simple, yet the ensuing troubles are endless!”

She gritted her teeth and conjured three Magical Treasures in one breath.

“Great-grandmother, these are mid-tier Magical Treasures Tailor-made for me by True Person Wang. With his Artifact Refining prowess, do you think he couldn’t find a Nascent Soul True Immortal for protection?”

After acquiring the three Magical Treasures, True Person Jingyun kept them a secret, covertly refining and nurturing them, preparing to use them as a trump card against formidable enemies.

Not only outsiders, but she also kept her own family in the dark.

However, this time to dispel her Great-grandmother’s foolish ideas, True Person Jingyun had no choice but to make clear the stakes involved.

“Uh…”

Although the Great-grandmother was a bit senile, she was still a Golden Core and could not possibly lack that level of insight.

A Great Refiner capable of crafting Magical Treasures, indeed, few Nascent Soul adepts would refuse to accept their allegiance!

Because such Grandmaster Level figures could be described as a Cornucopia.

If Wang Chen really had no other recourse under the Lv Family’s oppression and angrily offered his services to some Nascent Soul True Immortal,

then the Lv Family would be in deep trouble!

At such times, the Lv Family’s connections are useless; Nascent Soul True Immortals do not readily enter into combat. As long as one side is in the right, the other must compromise unless there is absolute certainty of victory.

By then, the Lv Family would be the definite sacrificial lamb!

“My dear grandson, let’s just drop it.”

The Great-grandmother turned to speak to Lv Yanqing, “This man is not someone our Lv Family can afford to provoke.”

“What?”

Lv Yanqing was stunned; he had not expected his usually compliant Great-grandmother to falter. He clung to her leg, wailing, “Grandma, you don’t know, that woman has the Mysterious Yin Constitution, which perfectly complements the Cultivation Technique I practice. If I can absorb her Pure Yin Qi, your grandson will surely form a Golden Core.”

“Supplement my Taoist Foundation!”

True Person Jingyun was shocked to hear this, never having imagined that her nephew would also have seen through Su Ziling’s true nature.

No wonder he was driven to madness!

The Great-grandmother listened with a changing expression, finally sighing, “Little Five, your Great-grandmother isn’t unwilling to help you. It’s just that the situation is special, we can’t risk the entire Lv Family on a gamble!”

True Person Jingyun nodded solemnly in agreement, also relieved that the Great-grandmother had come to her senses.

No grievous mistake had been made.

“Fine, fine, none of you will help me, is that it?”

Lv Yanqing’s expression once again became frenzied, “Then I’ll leave the Lv Family, so I won’t trouble you all. I’ll find my own way!”

Smack! His face received another heavy slap.

True Person Jingyun said sternly, “You want to leave the Lv Family? You’d need my consent for that. Starting today, don’t even think about taking one step outside the Lv Family’s main gate!”

“Someone bring Lv Yanqing down to the Reflection Hall, and he is not to leave for three years!”

At once, two burly Inner Guards, Battle Cultivators, entered the inner hall and dragged away Lv Yanqing, whose Cultivation Level had just been sealed, to the Reflection Hall, to reflect on his own sins!

But as the person was taken away, True Person Jingyun had a lingering sensation.

This matter wasn’t over yet!
