A position of patriarch was nothing. With Lu Li's abilities, he could get top-level resources at any force. The most important thing was Zhangsun Ruyu.
The No. 1 young lady of the Zhangsun Family, a warrior at the later stage of the third tribulation, with a powerful soul. Her comprehensive abilities might be equal to those at the peak of the third tribulation. As long as Lu Li agreed, he would be the son-in-law of the Zhangsun Family. Not only would he have a high status, top-level resources, but also the most beautiful lady of the Second Heaven.
It would be understandable if they were in love with each other. Zhangsun Ruyu sounded like she had turned herself into an object. As long as Lu Li made the same deal, she would become a treasure and be given to Lu Li directly.
The most powerful force of the Second Heaven, even Gan Lin, said that the comprehensive abilities of the Omen Island were not as good as the Zhangsun Family.
Many people were on their knees begging to join the Zhangsun Family. Now, the Zhangsun Family had opened the door to Lu Li and offered him generous terms. They even gave him the best young lady of the Zhangsun Family.
If it were someone else, even Qin Zhan, they would be tempted.
Lu Li, however, was not the case. Not only was he not tempted, but the first thing that came to his mind was surprise!
Poaching from the Devil?
According to the rules of the Omen Island, people could come and go freely. If they wanted to leave, they only needed to state that they were leaving the Omen Island. But how could Lu Li do this?
He was indebted to the Devil, and he had promised her to go to the Third Heaven to get the Ancient Scriptures for her. The Lu Family had settled down at the Cloud Mountain, so it was impossible for him to leave.
Also, he was doing well at the Omen Island. How could he leave?
Wasn't the Zhangsun Family afraid of offending the Devil?
Wasn't the Devil going to destroy the Zhangsun Family out of anger?
Nobody in the Second Heaven dared to offend the Devil. The Zhangsun Family was very bold.
Lu Li squinted but said nothing. Zhangsun Ruyu's cheeks blushed, which made her look even more beautiful. She lowered her head, revealing her swan-like neck. Then she summoned up her courage, looked at Lu Li with affection and said, "Young Master Lu, I have admired you for a long time. Ruyun's father is the current Family Master of the Zhangsun Family.
If you can join the Zhangsun Family, the entire Zhangsun Family will be your strongest support. Also … our family has a good relationship with a force in the Third Heaven. Young Master, you can even go there in the future. "
There were many beauties, and they were affectionate. They even described a scene of a grand plan. If it was someone else, they would have agreed immediately.
Lu Li squinted even more. He was more confused — he was a good candidate to be trained, but he didn't deserve the Zhangsun Family's love. He knew this.
The Zhangsun Clan was a big family with a lot of descendants. Geniuses came forth in large numbers. For example, Zhangsun Wuque and Zhangsun Ruyu were both top-notch geniuses.
If they didn't nurture their own children, why would they spend so much money to recruit an outsider like him?
There must be a reason behind this abnormality!
But for a moment, Lu Li could not figure out where the devil was coming from.
The incense was getting stronger. Lu Li's eyebrows were knitted tightly together. There were many things he could not figure out. After a while, he decided not to think about it anymore.
Since he wasn't prepared to seek shelter from the Zhangsun Clan, and he wasn't prepared to embrace this woman who was even more beautiful than a flower, it was better to reject her earlier. This way, he could go back and have a good sleep.
Of course, it would be better if he could talk about the Fairy Grasses and get his hands on them.
After the time for one incense stick to burn, Lu Li opened his mouth and came straight to the point, "One Black Tortoise Fruit for the three Fairy Grasses you have."
There was only one sentence. There was nothing else, but it represented Lu Li's intention.
Lu Li rejected the Zhangsun Family's solicitation. He only wanted the Fairy Grasses. If he couldn't get them, then there was nothing to talk about.
"Buzzing ~"
The ring on Zhangsun Ruyu's hand glowed. A jade box appeared. She pushed it over and said, "It's just the Fairy Grasses. The Zhangsun Family has some of this kind of medicine for body refinement.
As for … the Black Tortoise Fruit is rare in the Second Heaven, but not in the Third Heaven.
Young Master Lu, if you want the Fairy Grasses, I will give it to you.
There is a side chamber with a bed in it. Young Master, do you want to go there and have a rest for the night? "
Zhangsun Ruyu's face was getting redder and redder. Her words were getting more and more obvious. Her honey trap was as pure as fire. Was it because she used to do it often, or was she really in love with Lu Li?
"I am sorry!"
Eventually, Lu Li pushed the Fairy Grasses over. Since the Zhangsun Family didn't want to trade, then there was no point in him staying here.
He stood up and was ready to leave. However, the moment he stood up, he suddenly felt weak in his legs. He sat down on the chair.
Swish, swish, swish ~
Lu Li's face turned pale. He finally understood where the devil was. He looked at Zhangsun Ruyu in disbelief and blurted out, "Lady Ruyu, you have guts …"
Zhangsun Ruyu was not only gutsy, but also shockingly so. She wanted to keep him here?
In the time for just a couple of incense sticks to burn, Lu Li was poisoned by a strange poison. He couldn't use his divine energy at all. He felt weak all over and his physical strength was greatly reduced.
If he hadn't stood up, he wouldn't have felt it at all.
He had thought that Zhangsun Ruyu had called him over to trade for the Fairy Grasses. Later on, he realized he was wrong.
Now, he realized he was wrong again. Zhangsun Ruyu wanted to keep him here, to … kill him!
This was the Heaven Music City, a place where violence could not be used. Otherwise, the Palace of Heaven Music would be completely offended.
Also, the Devil was in the limelight at the moment. Nobody dared to provoke him. How dare the Zhangsun Family make a move against him?
He had been careless …
Lu Li sighed to himself. Underestimating the enemy was fatal.
The most powerful force in the Second Heaven was not afraid of the Palace of Heaven Music. They might also want to challenge the authority of the Devil and confront him face to face.
"Ha, ha!"
Zhangsun Ruyu's expressions didn't change. She was still blushing and shy. She looked up to Lu Li affectionately and said, "Young Master Lu, if you want to rest in the room next door, I will still go and serve you. After tonight, Young Master Lu will be my husband. From now on, you will have a meteoric rise."
Lu Li put on a cold smile and asked back, "If I don't spend the night with Lady Ruyu, I won't be able to walk out of this castle, right?"
Zhangsun Ruyu sighed. She looked outside and said, "I don't want this to happen. There are many beautiful things in life. Young Master Lu, you must cherish them."
"I don't get it."
Now that they were ready to shed all pretense of cordiality, Lu Li had nothing to worry about. He asked, "I have no quarrel with the Zhangsun Family. Why are you doing this?
Is it really worth it to bring so much trouble to the Zhangsun Family for such an insignificant person like me? "
"Yes!"
Zhangsun Ruyu turned around, looked at Lu Li and said seriously, "Truth be told, there is a progenitor of our family who is proficient in divination.
He knows that Young Master Lu is a man with destiny. He said that if we cannot have Young Master Lu, then … destroy him! "
"…"
Lu Li was speechless. For such a reason, the Zhangsun Family was making such a big fuss?
He sneered and said, "I don't think Lady Zhangsun alone is enough to destroy me. Ask the others to come out."
"Of course!"
Zhangsun Ruyu nodded and said calmly, "In order to destroy Young Master Lu, we have prepared 10 people.
Young Master Lu, don't worry. They are all under 1000 years old. They will not violate the rules set by the Devil! "
"Whoosh, whoosh ~"
