At this moment, Lu Qingshan's mind spun rapidly.
There was no such thing as a free lunch.
From Chi Pu and Diao Feng's words, he knew that "Ying Mingyue" had a high status and had a Blood God Gravel mine as her dowry.
Blood God Gravel was one of the few high quality mines in the Burning Moon Domain.
Every tael of Blood God Gravel was priceless.
In a world where resources were running out, a mine that was still producing was even more precious.
However, Chi Pu and Diao Feng actually didn't like such a "rich woman" of the Demons, and even pushed this matter to Qing Ge?
Lu Qingshan was sure that there was something fishy about this matter that he didn't know about.
Otherwise, why would the three of them refuse such a good thing?
Was it because Ying Mingyue was too ugly that the three brothers didn't like her?
The possibility wasn't high.
According to the information that Lu Qingshan had gathered during this period of time, this kind of thing could only happen to Qing Ge.
Chi Pu and Diao Feng might not be the smartest people in the world, but they were definitely shrewd people.
What was a mere beauty to them?
Then what was the reason why they didn't eat the meat in front of their mouths?
Unless one had to pay a heavy price in order to marry this "Ying Mingyue".
So heavy that they weren't willing to pay.
As for what the price was …
There was too little information, so it was hard to deduce.
Lu Qingshan calmly analyzed the situation.
On the other side, Chi Pu saw that Lu Qingshan was silent and thought that he was speechless because of his criticism. He quickly followed up and tried to persuade him.
"I know you don't want to leave the Senluo King Realm, and to be honest, we don't want to either.
After all, although Jianluo City is good, it's not our territory, so we feel uncomfortable!
But it's rare that Shi Wu Demon Venerable showed goodwill to our Senluo King Realm. If we grasp this opportunity, we might be able to increase our influence in the royal court.
This will bring many benefits to the Senluo King Realm. "
"To be honest, Diao Feng and I are actually willing for our father.
However, no matter how much Ying Mingyue is favored, she is only an illegitimate daughter. Her bloodline is not pure. Second Brother and I are both pure-blooded. We are Father's sons.
It is not that we think too highly of ourselves, and despise her.
The problem was that according to Shi Wu Demon Venerable's conditions, the person who married Ying Mingyue would have to marry into her family, leave the Senluo King Realm, and go to Jianluo Royal City to become a live-in son-in-law.
If the two of us were to do this, it would mean that the Realm Lord of the Limitless King Realm, the direct descendant of the Demonic Blade Venerable, would marry into the Ying Family. How would the outside world view my father?
Doesn't this mean that Father is inferior to Shi Wu Demon Venerable? "
The stricter the class system was, the more deeply rooted the concept of a well-matched couple was.
This was inevitable.
Chi Pu's words were reasonable.
"Qing Ge's" expression gradually became heavy, as if he was unable to refute.
Lu Qingshan stared at Chi Pu, but the thoughts in his mind were completely different from the expression on his face.
That's it?
What's the big deal? I thought you were going to snatch my eggs.
In his heart, he understood why Qing Ge was unwilling to agree to this.
Because once he agreed, it meant that Qing Ge would leave the Limitless King Realm and go to Jianluo Royal City.
Naturally, everything in the Limitless King Realm would have nothing to do with him.
However, although Qing Ge's current momentum was far inferior to Chi Pu and Diao Feng's, he was highly regarded by the Demonic Blade Venerable. In the future, he might be able to make a sudden comeback.
How could he bear to give up everything in the Limitless King Realm?
After all, if it was not that there was no hope, who would be willing to live off a woman?
— Lu Qingshan was willing, very willing.
Wasn't the purpose of his trip to the Abyss this time for the Demonic Sword of the Soldier Demon Clan?
At this moment, the Demonic Sword was enshrined in Jianluo Royal City.
Originally, he was still thinking about how to get a chance to go to Jianluo Royal City with a reasonable excuse.
At least, before entering the Realm Lord Manor, he was at his wit's end.
However, who said that there was no free lunch in the sky?
Who said that?
Didn't the free lunch fall into his lap?
An opportunity to leave the Limitless King Realm, which was fraught with danger, had countless acquaintances, and could expose his identity at any time to go to Jianluo Royal City, was presented to him in such a comical manner.
Was there such a good thing in the world?
…
"We can ignore these false reputations, but the prerequisite is that we can't tarnish father's reputation. I think second brother is the same." Chi Pu was still talking, and he casually shifted the topic to Diao Feng. At the same time, he also cast his gaze over.
His meaning was very simple.
Don't expect me to charge into battle and be the bad guy here, while you watch from the sidelines and reap the benefits.
He wanted to force Diao Feng into this.
Diao Feng was somewhat dissatisfied with Chi Pu's action.
However, he could still distinguish the pros and cons. He could only continue Chi Pu's words and nodded. "I think so too."
"Third brother, although in our hearts, there is no distinction between the legitimate son and the illegitimate son, and father treats the three of us equally …"
Diao Feng spoke in a very 'sincere' manner, "But in the eyes of the outside world, Third Brother, you are indeed just a concubine's son. Only by marrying into the Ying Family as a concubine's son will you not provoke the outside world to criticize your father."
It was still the problem of matching the social status.
Just like in ancient times, the person who married the princess must be a prince.
…
Although Lu Qingshan was very willing to do this, he couldn't directly show it.
After all, Qing Ge was resolutely unwilling to marry into the Ying Family.
If he suddenly changed his attitude and accepted without a reasonable reason, wouldn't it be the same as courting death?
However, it wasn't a big problem.
Now, there were two "good teammates" who were madly providing him with assistance.
He could already see that Chi Pu and Diao Feng had obviously made up their minds to join forces and force him to marry Ying Mingyue in the name of righteousness.
Therefore, he only needed to quietly watch the two's performance.
When the time was right, he would pretend to be helpless and accept this matter because he was "outnumbered".
Therefore, he was silent for a few breaths. He fiercely clenched his fists and showed an expression of grief and indignation. He interrupted Diao Feng.
"I'm a man, but I have to become the illegitimate son-in-law. Where should I put my face?"
"This is nothing. It's not like you don't know how many people want to be the illegitimate son-in-law but can't. Besides," Diao Feng paused and said, "this illegitimate son-in-law is only a temporary thing.
Demon Venerable Shi Wu was seriously injured and on the verge of death. He was afraid that after he died, without his protection, Ying Mingyue would be bullied by the direct descendants.
Therefore, he wanted to find a person with a high enough status in the twenty-seven king realms to be the illegitimate son-in-law and be Ying Mingyue's backer … "
So that's it.
At this time, Lu Qingshan finally came to a realization and understood the ins and outs of this matter.
It was no wonder that Demon Venerable Shi Wu suddenly had the idea of finding a son-in-law.
It turned out that he did not have much time left and was afraid that his illegitimate daughter would be bullied by the direct descendants.
This meant that he was making arrangements for his funeral in advance.
Even if it was not for the sake of the monk, it was for the sake of the Buddha.
If he agreed to this matter, even if Shi Wu Archdevil Venerable was no longer around, with him as Ying Mingyue's husband, no one would dare to disrespect Ying Mingyue for the sake of him and the Blade Archdevil Venerable behind him.
This was, in fact, a deal.
A Blood God Gravel mine in exchange for Demon Venerable Ying Mingyue's protection.
However, to ensure that Demon Venerable Ying Mingyue would not take the money and not do anything, he had to use the form of marriage to make the deal.
On the other side, Diao Feng concluded, "Third Brother, it's not like you have to be the illegitimate son-in-law for the rest of your life.
When Demon Venerable Shi Wu is still alive, we naturally can't fall out with him and have to give him face.
However, after he dies, with father around, it will be easy for you to bring Ying Mingyue and her wealth back to the Limitless King Realm. "
Diao Feng's words made sense.
However, the problem was, who knew when Demon Venerable Shi Wu would die?
Although he was heavily injured and on the verge of death, how could a Demon Venerable's strength be easily imagined by others?
Who could guarantee that the Demon Venerable's last breath would not last for a few hundred years?
If it really dragged on for such a long time, by the time Qing Ge returned to the Limitless King Realm, it would be too late. Even if he obtained both the woman and the wealth, what use would it be?
Chi Pu and Diao Feng were also planning to send Qing Ge away. That way, Qing Ge would not be able to compete with them for anything.
This was like a gamble.
Qing Ge was not willing to gamble.
Lu Qingshan, on the other hand, could not wait to play poker.
… …
Lu Qingshan's expression changed at the right time.
At this time, his face was no longer completely refusing. Instead, it began to show a conflicted and hesitant expression.
This meant that he had to quickly increase the pressure. He had already been swayed.
Chi Pu was an observant person. When he saw Lu Qingshan's expression change, he thought that his words were effective.
His heart moved, and he decided to give him another dose of strong medicine. "It's not that my words are unpleasant, but a few days ago, you led a force that almost crushed the cultivators of Luoyan Pass to attack Luoyan Pass.
However, even so, you still ended up in a situation where you returned in defeat.
After this battle, Third Brother, you should also understand that you don't have much talent in this area.
You obviously can't walk the path of battle achievements.
However, the Blood Spirit Crystal that the Royal Court gives our Limitless King Realm is extremely limited. Even Father can't directly bestow the Blood Spirit Crystals to you.
If you want to purify your bloodline and increase your strength, Ying Mingyue is your best choice.
After all, Blood Spirit Sand is one of the few minerals that can be used to trade for Blood Spirit Crystals. "
Blood Spirit Crystals were a treasure unique to the Abyss World. It was also something that all Demons cared about greatly.
It could purify the bloodline of Demons, and it could even cause Demons' bloodline to revert to their ancestors' strength.
Bloodline was the foundation of Demons' strength.
However, such a precious item like Blood Spirit Crystals could only be produced in small quantities in Blood Spirit Mountain, located at the center of the Abyss.
Its production was already extremely limited, and when it was distributed to the Eight Great Saint Demons, it was even rarer.
Although Sword Sift Royal Court wouldn't monopolize these Blood Spirit Crystals, they were extremely strict about the distribution.
Every King Realm could only get 20 Blood Spirit Crystals each time.
Even the Demonic Exalted Blade couldn't give such a precious item to Qing Ge without any reason.
If he did so, it would cause dissatisfaction and accumulated resentment among his subordinates.
The reason those Ninth Grade Demon Cultivators were willing to follow him was not only because of his tyrannical strength, but also because of his share of Blood Spirit Crystals.
Every Blood Spirit Crystal was being stared at by countless eyes!
"Chi Pu." On the other side, Lu Qingshan had already stood up angrily. His face was ashen as he shouted, "Who are you looking down on?"
For a prideful person like Qing Ge, the loss at Luoyan Pass was definitely a taboo.
How could Qing Ge not be angry when Chi Pu rubbed salt on his wound?
After Lu Qingshan finished speaking, Chi Pu's expression didn't change. He looked at Lu Qingshan provocatively and said with a smile, "I'm just speaking the truth."
This made Qing Ge even more agitated.
The two of them were at each other's throats. New enmity added to old hatred.
The smell of gunpowder grew thicker.
"It's fine. If you really don't want to go, there's no need to force yourself." Demon Venerable Blade, who had been inscrutable all this time, suddenly spoke up. He looked at Lu Qingshan warmly.
"But …" Chi Pu didn't expect Demon Venerable Blade to speak up for Qing Ge. He subconsciously wanted to object.
Halfway through his words, he realized that he was being rude. He stopped abruptly.
"A good man's ambition is to travel far. It's normal that Qing Ge doesn't want to be a son-in-law." Demon Venerable Blade waved his hand and said, "As for Demon Venerable Shi Wu, I'll turn him down."
"I'm enough for Limitless King Realm. It's best if you have Sword Luo's connections, but it's not a big deal if you don't." Demon Venerable Blade's tone was very casual, but the meaning behind his words was very domineering.
He, Demon Venerable Blade, wouldn't force his bastard son to be a son-in-law just to get Sword Luo's connections!
Chi Pu and Diao Feng heard this. A faint shadow appeared in their eyes.
It was said that Demon Venerable Blade doted on Qing Ge a lot. Now, this was beyond doubt.
According to the Demons' rules, their marriage should be decided by their parents.
The matter of marriage was extremely normal for people of their bloodline and status. When was it the turn of the younger generation to have their own opinions?
However, Demon Venerable Blade was taking Qing Ge's wishes into consideration and taking the other Demon Venerable's marriage proposal into consideration. Taking the initiative to reject this marriage would make Qing Ge feel uncomfortable, but it would also bring him countless benefits.
How could this not make them burn with jealousy?
Qing Ge was clearly a bastard. Why did their father favor him so much?
Both of them were incomparably furious and helpless.
.....
Chi Pu and Diao Feng weren't happy about Demon Venerable Blade's proposal. There was one other person who was unhappy about it — Lu Qingshan, who was immersed in his "Qing Ge" persona.
He was extremely frustrated.
He was just immersed in his performance. He was completely immersed in Qing Ge's persona.
Did he accidentally overdo it?
This made him feel like he was saying, "Auntie, you can't do this." Then the auntie would say, "Fine, forget it."
It was just a polite greeting. Why did she take it so seriously?
No, he had to salvage the situation.
Lu Qingshan thought to himself.
In the next instant, his expression changed drastically. It alternated between green and white, as if he was having a difficult mental struggle.
"Father." Finally, after a few breaths, he made a decision. He gritted his teeth and said to Demon Venerable Blade, "I'll go!"
The word "I'll go" was forcefully squeezed out of his mouth.
"Ah?!" Chi Pu and Diao Feng looked at Lu Qingshan in disbelief.
Even Black Blade Demon Venerable was taken aback.
Who would have thought that Qing Ge would suddenly change his mind when the dust was about to settle?
What was going on?
After saying this, Qing Ge looked as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. His expression gradually returned to normal. "Big Brother, Second Brother is right.
The Blood God Gravel was a rare treasure, and the marriage alliance would bring many benefits to the Myriad King Realm and his father.
Compared to all this, it's just sacrificing my reputation. Why can't I bear it?
Some false reputation is nothing compared to actual benefits.
Moreover, this is something that I can help father with. Qing Ge is willing to do it to repay father's kindness. "
Demon Venerable Blade had mixed feelings. He pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about what to do.
Finally, he came back to his senses. He looked at Qing Ge with gratification, and his heart was filled with emotions.
This insensible son of his had finally grown up!
He even knew how to be grateful to him as a father!
"If you're willing, that's naturally the best," said Demon Venerable Blade.
"Jianluo King City. Qing Ge will make this trip for father!" Lu Qingshan said firmly.
On the field, everyone had different expressions.
Demon Venerable Blade's eyes gradually brightened.
Chi Pu and Diao Feng looked at each other, and their gazes were filled with disbelief.
In Lu Qingshan's Dantian, Gu Yiyi, who had witnessed all this, had stars in her eyes.
Lu Qingshan's pretentious look.
She yearned for it and envied it.
She was so envious!
