Chapter 1569: Getting an Inch and Getting a Step Further

Don't ask! If I had married her, things wouldn't be like this today.

The old lady stared at Lu Chengwen, her eyes full of resentment and hatred, and she almost gritted her teeth and said, "He betrayed me!"

Lu Chengwen was about to cry: "He is such a piece of shit."

The old lady seemed to recall the humiliation she had suffered, and her eyes became more vicious: "Because of him, I have become the laughing stock of Tianwu!"

Lu Chengwen said: "I am not my master's son."

The old lady gnashed her teeth and said, "Master and disciple, are you going to let us two saints down?!"

"I..." Lu Chengwen tried to ease the awkward atmosphere: "Ahahahaha... misunderstanding, misunderstanding, actually, it was really a misunderstanding just now. I really didn't know what this thing was for before. Why don't we start over? Sister, you return the Saint Maiden Order to me first, how about I choose again?"

Liu Rufeng widened his eyes: "What did you say!?"

"No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that this is our first meeting and we don't know each other well. I was afraid that I would tarnish your innocence by giving you the Saint Maiden Order so suddenly and without my knowledge..."

"Tianwu people stick to their words. Lu Chengwen, if you dare to betray me, I will kill you first and then kill myself!"

Lu Chengwen didn't know what to do.

Completely panicked.

"Not really... just a small misunderstanding."

"You just said, 'You know the weight of this thing without us telling you, right?' Now you say you don't know what it's used for. Are you kidding me!?"

The old lady said: "The honor of Tianwu cannot be trampled upon! Lu Chengwen, either you marry the saint and become Tianwu's son-in-law. Or..."

Lu Chengwen discovered that everyone around him had begun to hate him.

Those men stared at him as if he were the murderer of his father.

Liu Ruyan immediately stood up and knelt down: "Grandmaster, sister, Lu Chengwen must have been frightened suddenly. He will not humiliate our Tianwu dignity. Moreover, when he chats with some big figures from the Jiang family and the Mo family, he never calls us demons when he mentions us. Instead, he often defends and refutes us."

"Really?"

Liu Rufeng said: "Ruyan, you don't like him, do you?"

Liu Ruyan knelt on the ground and took a deep breath. "Ruyan was ordered to capture Long Aotian but failed. She met many seniors and masters at the level of the Five Old Men. She also shuttled between major wealthy families, clans, and sects for a while. She was with Lu Chengwen because she had no choice. But except for detoxifying, Lu Chengwen treated Ruyan with courtesy at all other times and did not take advantage of Ruyan."

"And he spoke for the Tianwu people because... he saw in Ruyan that the Tianwu people were kind, brave, kept their promises, and were not born to be warlike. It was also because of this that Ruyan regarded him as a friend, confidant, and brother. There was no personal affection."

Liu Rufeng snorted: "He can't beat you, so of course he has to lie to you."

"No." Liu Ruyan raised her head: "He is very powerful. He can defeat all the Seven Stars Immortals by himself."

Liu Rufeng said: "I saw it. It's because he has many treasures and the Emperor's Fire, so he can exert extraordinary power. And that power is not his own at all. He can't use it well at all, and there is always the risk of losing himself."

Liu Ruyan asked, "What if he can use it in the future?"

Everyone was stunned.

Yes, it can’t be used now. Wouldn’t it be great if it could be used in the future!

Liu Rufeng said, "Speaking for the Tianwu people? Oh, you saw how he fawned on them just now. What principles does a person like him have?"

"Have!"

Liu Ruyan looked at Liu Rufeng, now brave and excited:

"If he was a sycophant, if he was a profiteering businessman, if he was a fence-sitter and a hypocrite, why did he kill Jiang Xiaogou in public? The Jiang family is a wealthy and prestigious family that he cannot afford to offend with his strength!"

"Any spineless person would agree to Jiang Xiaogou's request in order to protect himself. He would even be willing to be a lackey and perform his best to curry favor with the Jiang family!"

"He and Jiang Xiaohu are sworn brothers, and he and Jiang Xiaogou have a brother-sister relationship. With such a background, why would he put himself in a life-and-death struggle with the Jiang family? And he was hunted down by the Jiang family all the way!"

"This shows that although he likes to flatter, it's only because he wants to keep things quiet and he doesn't want to fight with anyone. He is weak, and when facing a force much stronger than himself, his first thought is to protect himself. But when the bottom line in his heart is touched, I dare to guarantee with my life that Lu Chengwen is the most trustworthy person!"

After Liu Ruyan finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the hall, and no one said a word.

They all seem to be thinking.

Seeing that no one reacted, Liu Ruyan continued, "Just now, he wanted to kill Jiang Yuanshu so that he could live alone. Did he do it? He hates the Jiang family the most, but because he has been with Jiang Yuanshu for a long time and has developed feelings for her, he would rather die than hurt her."

Liu Ruyan lowered her head and took a deep breath:

"According to Ruyan's observation, Lu Chengwen is a rare gentleman. It's just that... he likes to use laughter, anger, and unruly ways to cover up his emotions and hide his weakness. Even Xia Ying from the Xia family has tested him and believes that he is the kind of heroic personality who can sacrifice himself for strangers. Everyone in the Jiang family knows this!"

Liu Rufeng looked at Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen stood there and looked back at Jiang Yuanshu: "Wow, she's even better at making up stories than I am."

Jiang Yuanshu looked at Lu Chengwen and smiled: "You are so annoying."

Liu Rufeng said, "Okay, but today he gave me the Saint Maiden Token. If he doesn't marry me, it would be an insult to the Tianwu clan. Ruyan, what do you think? In our Tianwu clan, can anyone take the Saint Maiden Token to tease us and then leave in style?"

"This……"

Liu Rufeng said, "People who don't value integrity and don't keep their promises shouldn't stay in this world. Lu Chengwen, you and Jiang Yuanshu, please leave some last words. We will pass them on to your families."

Then he said with a straight face: "Get ready!"

"Wait a minute!"

Lu Chengwen saw that the old lady closed her eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep.

Lu Chengwen suddenly smiled: "Sister, let me tell you. After all these twists and turns, I found that I have fallen deeply in love with you!"

Liu Rufeng had no expression on his face: "Oh? Really?"

"Yes!" Lu Chengwen walked over and grabbed Liu Rufeng's hand. Liu Rufeng was shocked and tried to pull his hand back, but Lu Chengwen held it tightly.

"Sister is as beautiful as a fairy, pure as jade, I have never seen a woman as charming as you."

Liu Rufeng's face was pale with anger, but above the paleness, two blushes flew onto his cheeks.

"How dare you! Let me go!"

"I won't let go!" Lu Chengwen began to act coquettishly: "I won't let go in my life. Wow, sister's hands are so smooth! What brand of hand cream do you use?"

Liu Rufeng pulled his hand out with all his strength and took a half step back, feeling extremely flustered.

"You...you...don't push your luck!"

Jiang Yuanshu said: "Yes! Don't push your luck!"
