Chapter 425: You Are Our World

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Lu Li was not scared at all. He stared back at Jiang Wuwo, the Master of Pavilion of Delicacy, much like an angered lion.

He knew very well that Jiang Wuwo dared not to kill him, at least not in public. Otherwise, his reputation would be diminished.

As Lu Li expected…

The qi and energy died down a bit. Lu Li's bones were still making noise and there was some blood in his mouth. But he refrained himself from spitting the blood out and he continued to stare back at Jiang Wuwo with a cold face.

After the time for more than 10 breaths, Jiang Wuwo reduced his qi and energy. He said coldly, "Son of Lu Renhuang is really something. But how long have you lived in this world? How dare you to lecture me?"

Lu Li forced the blood down, took a deep breath and retorted, "I don't dare to lecture you. But every child is like a piece of white paper. Parents have a lot of influence when a kid is growing up. Can you say you have nothing to do with Jiang Qiling become what she is today? She told me last night that it has been years since she had a good sleep. She becomes scared at night, fearing someone is coming to take her life. Even with me by her side, she woke up with a start from nightmares three times. I felt so sorry for her, even me. Do you feel nothing, no guilt or sorrow?"

"Back at the Gargoyle Mountain, her maternal grandpa died and she became unattached to life. When she tried to kill herself, I gave her hope and a goal so she could live. It is ironic. The only thing that keeps her going is for you to kneel in front of her former lover's tomb and for her maternal grandpa to be respected by all others. She has been working so hard on cultivation to achieve the goals. Master, my lord, is this what you want? Pushing your daughter into such a situation?"

Lu Li spared no feelings in telling Jiang Wuwo the truth. When he saw how Jiang Qiling was last night, he hated Jiang Wuwo for that. Now he knew Jiang Wuwo was not going to kill him, he wouldn't be sparing any of Jiang Wuwo's feelings.

Jiang Wuwo's expressions were strange. He was scolded by a young person. Instead of getting angry, he seemed to have mixed feelings.

He stared at the boat into the distance. It took him a while before he sighed and said, "You are right. I am a qualified master but I have failed… as a father. Her mother died shortly after she was born. I focused my mind on the Pavilion of Delicacy and I have neglected her education. It is all on me that she is like this today."

"But…"

Jiang Wuwo turned to Lu Li and said, "Regardless of that, you still cannot be with Ling-er. Your identity is sensitive. It's better to have short, sharp pains than long, dull pains. I don't want Ling-er to be hurt again. So be the clever guy and don't make it difficult for me. Or… I think you know."

"Wrong again!"

Lu Li shook his head, sighed and said, "I have no romantic feelings for your daughter. If I had, do you think I wouldn't have done anything? We would be together at the Gargoyle Mountain. We are just normal friends. Don't think that I want to be married to the Jiang Family. After I left the Lu Family, Jiang Qiling invited me to join the Pavilion of Delicacy and I turned that down. Then she said that she could get me a region at the northern Central Plains and I also said no. My grandpa is Lu Zhengyang and my father is Lu Renhuang. Do you think I am a person that would live off others? I will rely only on myself and establish a new Lu Family!"

"Ha, ha, ha!"

Jiang Wuwo laughed. He found the tone of Lu Li amusing. He nodded and said, "Okay, good, very ambitious. You really are like Lu Renhuang. If so, I will let the matter slide. But… if I ever find you and Ling-er cross the line, then don't blame me for being cruel. Be careful."

With that said, Jiang Wuwo vanished on the spot. Lu Li was left speechless. Anyone that could do this must be at the Earth Immortal Realm. So the master must be in this realm or higher.

How old was Jiang Wuwo? Lu Li heard that Jiang Wuwo was obsessed with martial art and he got married late. So he was not young now.

Warrior's ages could not be told from their appearances. If a warrior reached a high Realm at a young age, then aging was not obvious with all those years extended…

Lu Li stood by the lake for a while before she left. Jiang Hong and Ming Yu were waiting for him. They were relieved to see Lu Li was intact. Jiang Hong didn't dare to make Lu Li stay any longer. He took Lu Li and Ming Yu to the city and Lu Li teleported away as he was worried about the Northern Desert.

They didn't even stop at the Clouds City before they teleported back to the Northern Desert.

Upon arrival, Lu Li hurried to the imperial palace to see Madam Yan and Yu Huashen. Yu Huashen was called back by Madam Yan to help up establish a line of defense.

Yu Huashen asked how it went. Lu Li explained that the Pavilion of Delicacy would offer a helping hand but they might not be able to find Song Family Patriarch over such a vast land at the northern Central Plains with such a huge population. Also, Jiang Wuwo was not the one giving this order. The Pavilion of Delicacy would not do their best.

Lu Li figured this out on his way back. He ordered many scouts to lurk around the sea at the south. He would send scouts to anywhere there was no danger. Once the Song Family Patriarch was here, he could have some time to prepare.

Lu Li handed this matter over to Madam Yan and Yu Huashen. He went to see Lu Feixue but didn't tell her much except that the Pavilion of Delicacy would help and that there was nothing she needed to worry about.

Leaving Lu Feixue, Lu Li went to a side chamber and shouted, "Clan Leader Ye."

With a breeze, Ye Cha emerged. Lu Li asked, "How long will it take before the Mammoth Race make the breakthrough?"

"Half a month!"

Ye Cha thought about it and said, "It's almost half a year and theoretically speaking, they are close. Young Master, should I send someone to have a look?"

"Yes!"

Lu Li nodded and added, "Once they make the breakthrough, let them out immediately. Send them to the small world of Green Dwarfs secretly and don't let anyone else know."

"Sure!"

Ye Cha knew the severity of it. Cyan Phoenix Race's appearance resembled that of a human and nobody could tell the two races apart when the Cyan Phoenix Race was in disguise. Mammoth Race, however, were huge. Once they were seen, there was no way that the information could be kept. By then, the Samsara Palace and the other five forces would come to the Northern Desert and they would kill everyone.

Ye Cha left and Lu Li was ready to cultivate. For now, he couldn't make many breakthroughs on the Speed Profound Meaning but he dared not to leave the Ling Empress City for now so he was preparing to reach the middle stage of the Fate Wheel Realm.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle~"

From outside there came some noises of food steps. Then a beautiful girl showed up. The Sindoor mark between her eyebrows stood out. Bai Qiuxue was here.

Lu Li was embarrassed to see her. He pretended to be deep in his thoughts with his eyebrows knitted together. Bai Qiuxue walked over, sat by him and asked, "Is it too much trouble?"

Bai Qiuxue knew that after he came back, he went to see Madam Yan but she didn't get anything from Madam Yan. Things like this must be kept confidential or the public would be scared.

Lu Li grinned and replied, "It's fine. I am here. Nothing is going to happen."

Bai Qiuxue forced a smile. To his surprise, she grabbed his arms and said gently, "I don't care if anything is going to happen. I only care about you because you…are our world."

Today, Bai Qiuxue whispered of love for the first in forever. She blushed and was shy but Lu Li was moved.

He took her hands and nodded, "Put your mind at ease. I will always be okay, for you. I will let anyone that dare to make a scene at the Northern Desert die a miserable death."
