Liu Lanyan's brother.
Can he refute it?
In front of her brother, he insisted on living with Liu Lanyan.
He wasn't afraid of what Liu Wenxiu would do to him, but he was afraid of upsetting Lan Yan. If Lan Yan was unhappy, his life would be difficult.
"In that case, everyone should go back first. It's better to talk things out," the Demon God said with a smile.
She kept reminding herself that no matter what, she had to maintain a good relationship with Liu Wenxiu, she absolutely had to maintain a good relationship.
Liu Wenxiu glanced at the Demon God, then nodded and said, "Come with me." He then pulled Liu Lanyan and flew directly back to the royal city.
The demon god stared intently at Liu Wenxiu holding Liu Lanyan's hand, took a deep breath, and then exhaled heavily, repeatedly telling himself that they were siblings.
The demon god really wanted to curse, "Are the brother and sister just going to hold hands like this?"
"Lord, should we follow them?" Peng Zhen cautiously approached and asked the Demon God.
The demon god didn't even glance at Peng Zhen. He simply raised his hand and pressed it to the ground. With a soft "poof," the ground sank more than half a zhang deep.
Peng Zhen stared in disbelief; those were rocks!
"Follow. Go!" The demon god said and immediately rushed over.
Peng Zhen glanced at the large crater on the ground, shook his head helplessly, and followed. It seemed that the Lord was very angry.
Following Liu Wenxiu, they soon arrived at a relatively quiet alley in the royal city. There was a courtyard there, not very big, but spacious enough for people to live in.
The interior was simply furnished, yet not at all shabby; it was indeed a tranquil place.
There weren't many servants inside, just enough for daily cleaning and routine arrangements.
Liu Wenxiu was already seated in the hall, and servants had already served him fragrant tea.
The demon god didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly. He looked at the person next to him and smiled, "It seems that Young Master Liu was prepared all along."
If what Liu Lanyan just said is true, and Liu Wenxiu has already left the royal city, then what about this mansion?
Was the so-called "accident" of disappearing in front of everyone arranged by Liu Wenxiu or planned by Liu Lanyan?
In short, it's all planned; otherwise, how could someone be here to take care of the yard all this time?
"They'll always come back." Liu Wenxiu didn't intend to explain to the Demon God; he simply brushed the question aside with a casual remark.
"I heard that Lan Yan has been staying at Wuchen Residence recently?" Liu Wenxiu did not intend to dwell on his question, but instead asked the question that he was concerned about.
"The Dustless Palace." The Demon God deliberately emphasized the place where Liu Lanyan lived to tell Liu Wenxiu how much he valued Liu Lanyan.
It's definitely not something that can be done casually.
"Oh." Liu Wenxiu nodded. "Now that I'm back, Lanyan should stay with me. After all, my sister isn't married yet, and it's not good for her to live in a place where there are no outsiders."
"Lanyan's reputation is also very important, isn't it, Your Majesty?"
The demon god smiled, disagreeing with Liu Wenxiu's words: "Young Master Liu, Lanyan is now my disciple, and living with her master is for the convenience of cultivation. No one will think there's anything wrong with it; it's a perfectly normal thing."
The demon god's words were actually loaded with meaning; his intention was both subtle and clear.
It's normal for a master and disciple to live together. If someone thinks it's abnormal, then that person has a problem with their thinking.
There's no need to delve into who's truly despicable; everyone understands.
"Does Lan Yan need to cultivate now?" Liu Wenxiu's question left the Demon God speechless, almost causing him to faint.
"I feel that the Venerable Lord's teaching method is really good. He has already nurtured Lan Yan so well, why would she need to cultivate anymore? Don't you think so, Venerable Lord?" Liu Wenxiu looked at the Demon God with a half-smile, waiting to see if he had anything else to say.
Others might not be able to sense Liu Lanyan's strength, but he certainly could.
Therefore, it's simply impossible for the demon god to use this reason as an excuse again.
However, Liu Wenxiu underestimated the Demon God.
They underestimated the shamelessness of the demon god.
“I feel that Lan Yan still needs to continue cultivating, especially to cultivate by my side.” The Demon God’s words made Liu Wenxiu choke on his own saliva and cough.
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless.
He said this with a straight face and without even breaking a sweat.
Liu Wenxiu glared at the Demon God. To be able to say such a thing so matter-of-factly, he truly deserved to be the guardian deity of the demon realm; he was indeed extraordinary.
“Even if it’s for cultivation, there’s no need to live so close to Master,” Liu Wenxiu said with a smile. “Although my courtyard is not as secluded as the Venerable Lord’s Dustless Abode, it is still a peaceful place. Besides, I am a family member here. I think Lanyan would prefer to stay here.”
“Your Excellency can offer some guidance and then let Lan Yan cultivate on her own,” Liu Wenxiu “kindly” suggested to the Demon God.
But would a demon god be such an easy person to talk to?
Naturally, he immediately retorted: "At Wuchen Residence, I would gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to help Lanyan cultivate. Here, there is no such condition."
"Oh." Liu Wenxiu thought for a moment and then nodded.
The demon god chuckled inwardly. What reason could he possibly have to refute this argument?
Little did anyone know that Liu Wenxiu's next words almost made the Demon God vomit blood.
"Can't we gather spiritual energy here? Aren't you the Lord?" Liu Wenxiu asked innocently, looking at the Demon God with confusion, waiting for his explanation.
Peng Zhen took two steps to the side, regretting that he really shouldn't have come along.
If he came along, so be it. Why did he have to come in?
The conversations here are too strange, the atmosphere too heavy. Who can guarantee that things will always be "peaceful" like this?
The demon god really wanted to curse.
So what if he's the Lord?
Does being a supreme ruler mean you have to defy the heavens?
Does that mean we have to be able to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth anytime, anywhere?
What do you think he is?
After glancing at Liu Lanyan, the demon god smiled at Liu Wenxiu and said, "Young Master Liu, let's go to the study to talk. Let Lanyan rest for a while."
He actually wanted to get rid of her?
Liu Lanyan was furious and opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Liu Wenxiu: "In that case, please, Your Excellency."
He got up and left the hall without giving Liu Lanyan a chance to speak.
What's going on?
Seeing the Demon God following closely behind Liu Wenxiu as the two left together, Liu Lanyan was completely dumbfounded.
Why did she feel there was a strange atmosphere between those two polite people?
"Peng Zhen, what are they doing?" Liu Lanyan looked at Peng Zhen with a puzzled expression.
“Hmm…” Peng Zhen didn’t know how to explain, so he gave what seemed like an answer, “The Lord and the others probably want to have a conversation between men.”
"Oh." Liu Lanyan nodded in response. Just when Peng Zhen thought the topic was over, Liu Lanyan spoke again, "So what will they say?"
Peng Zhen nearly lost his temper and couldn't help but retort, "How should I know?"
"Aren't you a man too?" Liu Lanyan asked innocently. Shouldn't men understand men best?
Peng Zhen really wanted to roar!
I want to! I really want to!
However, thinking about who he was facing, all the emotions that were about to erupt were forcibly suppressed, and he gritted his teeth and "explained" word by word: "I have neither a sister nor a 'disciple,' so I don't know either."
Could the conversation between the Lord and Liu Wenxiu be considered a normal conversation?
He wanted to guess, but the question was, how could he guess?
"Oh, then let's wait and see." Liu Lanyan pursed her lips. Those two men were really strange. What exactly did they want to do?
Just then, in the study, Liu Wenxiu sat down and gestured to the Demon God to sit down.
The demon god, of course, didn't stand on ceremony and sat down casually.
His natural charisma was undeniable; even his sitting posture was so refined that no one could find the slightest fault with him.
Liu Wenxiu sighed inwardly; this man was truly blessed by God.
Now that we're here, the Demon God doesn't want to beat around the bush anymore. Presumably, Liu Wenxiu feels the same way, otherwise he wouldn't have asked him to come to the study alone to talk.
Since everyone had the same idea, there was nothing to hide.
"Young Master Liu, you don't like me at all?" the demon god asked tentatively, but Liu Wenxiu didn't mince words and nodded affirmatively, "Yes, I don't like you."
The Demon God was certain that Liu Wenxiu was the first person to dare to express himself so directly in front of the Demon God.
"Just because Lan Yan is with me," the Demon God asked with a smile.
He certainly understood why Liu Wenxiu disliked him.
"We're just cultivating together." Liu Wenxiu made it clear that he wouldn't accept such ambiguous words.
What do you mean Lan Yan is with him? Lan Yan isn't with anyone!
“Alright, let’s cultivate.” The Demon God did not argue with Liu Wenxiu, but readily agreed with his words.
"No matter what, I didn't hurt Lanyan, so why does Young Master Liu hate me so much?" The Demon God tried to reason with Liu Wenxiu.
He could kill everyone in the Three Realms, but he couldn't use violence against Liu Wenxiu, not for any other reason than that Liu Wenxiu was Lan Yan's brother.
Therefore, the demon god could only communicate with Liu Wenxiu in kind words.
"I wouldn't say I hate her, I just don't like her." Liu Wenxiu glanced at the Demon God. "My sister is very simple. I hope you won't lead her astray. She doesn't have that many ulterior motives."
After hearing this, the demon god really wanted to disregard his image and dig out his ears to make sure he hadn't misheard.
Lan Yan doesn't have that many thoughts?
Who was the person who feigned ignorance and used a clever strategy to deal with the "enemy"?
Who is the one who casually lets others suffer losses?
Could it be that he and Liu Wenxiu weren't talking about Liu Lanyan?
"I didn't mean to bully Lan Yan." The Demon God sighed helplessly, naturally understanding what Liu Wenxiu was worried about.
He understood, but he was puzzled as to why Liu Wenxiu couldn't see his feelings.
