C539 Constantly Changing Cause and Effect
"Master, your disciple does not dare to lie. Murong Duoqian gave your disciple a thousand Profound Grade Crystal Stone s, he did indeed have the intention of roping you in." Lu Yang said with sincerity.
"Yes." A thousand Profound Grade Crystal Stone wanting to rope my disciple in? This price is too little. What did you say? " Hu Cheng did not voice any discussions, but asked rather curiously.
"Disciple is naturally deceiving me. Of course, this disciple has also grown up within the City Lord's Mansion in the past. Although I will not cooperate with him, I will absolutely not harm Murong Duoqian. Lu Yang said again.
"Haha, what if Murong Duoqian gave his daughter to you?" Hu Cheng remained calm and still tried to probe him.
"This …" Lu Yang purposely looked troubled.
According to the intelligence previously, Gou Shengzi seemed to have a good impression of Murong Qingcheng. He even said that he was willing to do anything for him, if she showed no mercy right now, it would seem a little too hypocritical.
After all, the previous Gou Shengzi was not like this. If he changed too much, it would definitely make Hu Cheng suspicious, so no matter if he was right or wrong, he had to endure it.
Hehe, the reason why Master called you over today is to tell you, that as long as it's something Murong Duoqian has given you, you can take it. What Murong Duoqian asked you to do, you can just agree to it. Hu Cheng said with a smile.
"Understood, Master." Hearing Hu Cheng's words, although Lu Yang did not understand, he still agreed.
"Alright, we're going to participate in the Murong Family gathering tonight, so we need to take a good rest." With that, Hu Cheng left.
After leaving Hu Cheng's study, Lu Yang became more and more suspicious of his own location.
According to common sense, if Murong Duoqian tried to rope him in, Hu Cheng would be very angry. Even if he wasn't angry, he had to prepare for it.
From the looks of it, Hu Cheng did not see him as one of his people, or it could be said that Hu Cheng had long planned for him to become Hu Cheng's disciple.
But what was his purpose in doing so?
Lu Yang did not expect that, after all, this matter had already exceeded his expectations, and there might even be a large variable within.
However, from the clues he had gathered, Lu Yang could roughly guess that Murong Duoqian was very likely someone from the Devil Clan, which meant that he was from the devil sect.
The Devil Sect were all people from the Devil Clan, and their movements were secretive as well. Generally speaking, very few people knew about the Devil Sect in the outside world, but Evil God Religion were different.
If Murong Duoqian was from the Demon Sect, it was possible that he was.
Of course, this was only a guess and there was no substantial evidence.
After Lu Yang returned to his residence, he did not wander off to other places again. Instead, he stayed in his room and cultivated from beginning to end. It was precisely because of this that Hu Cheng did not have much suspicion as to his identity.
"It should be time!" Lu Yang looked at the time, and realized that he had already cultivated for about three to four hours, so he should be heading for the City Lord's Mansion.
Riding on his mount, Lu Yang quickly went from the General Mansion to the City Lord's Mansion. At the moment, within the City Lord's Mansion, over a hundred disciples were gathered there, including the direct disciples of the Murong Family and the disciples of the other branches of the Murong Family.
However, in front of these disciples from the other branches, the status of a direct descendant disciple was obviously much more noble. Therefore, there seemed to be an insurmountable gap between the disciples from the side branches and the direct descendant disciples.
"Isn't this General Hu Zhan? Come, quickly come over here, let me introduce you to some of our Murong Family's direct disciples! " Seeing Lu Yang walking in from the outside, Murong Cheng walked over with a smile.
In Murong Family, although Murong Chengli was not the most respected direct descendant disciple, he was still one of the top three people in Murong Family younger generation.
"So it's Brother Cheng Li!" Seeing that Murong Cheng called him, Lu Yang quickly walked over to the few Murong Family core disciples. One of them was Murong Duoqian's youngest daughter, Murong Qingcheng.
"General Hu, this is the young master of our Murong Family. This is our Young Miss Murong Family, and also my little sister Murong Qingcheng. " After all, the main point of the introduction today was Murong Qingcheng.
"This little girl greets the general!" Murong Qingcheng slightly bowed and said.
"Hahaha, what General Hu, in the past, he was only a servant of our Murong Family, but now, he's actually able to participate in our Murong Family's gathering. Interesting!" While talking, another genius from the Murong Family walked over.
"Mu Rong Cheng, what are you saying? Have you forgotten the teachings of the Patriarch? " Hearing what Mu Rong Cheng said, Mu Rong Cheng laughed coldly.
"Hahaha, Patriarch? In the past, he only wanted to marry his own daughter to an old man, and now, he also wants to recruit this servant into our City Lord's Mansion. Does he really think that our City Lord's Mansion is a place where you can enter whenever you want? Or could it be that your father simply wants to sell our Murong Family? " The more Mu Rong Cheng said before, the angrier he became.
Hearing Mu Rong Cheng's words, Lu Yang smiled slightly, but didn't pay any attention to it, because he had already sensed that Murong Duoqian was already aware of the situation over here.
"Mu Rong Cheng? Is that how you speak ill of me? " Just as Murong Cheng was about to say something excessive, Murong Duoqian had already appeared behind him.
"Patriarch?" Seeing Murong Duoqian appear behind him, Murong Cheng was instantly struck dumb. He never would have thought that Murong Duoqian would care so much about a small character like him. Could it be that it was because he had said something bad about him?
"Hmph. Murong Cheng, explain to me what you meant by those words you said before." Looking at the somewhat nervous Murong Cheng in front of him, Murong Duoqian said with a cold smile.
"Master, I was wrong just now, but is there something wrong with what I said?" This Hu Zhan is obviously a servant of our City Lord's Mansion. If you want to marry Murong Qingcheng off to him now, isn't it because you want to recruit a servant into our Murong Family? Even though he was facing Murong Duoqian, Murong Cheng still spoke through gritted teeth.
"Haha, Mu Rong Cheng, you're too kind. Unfortunately you forgot one thing, this City Lord's Mansion isn't actually our Murong Family, it's merely a direct descendant disciple of our Murong Family, who simply doesn't have the qualifications to speak up behind our backs. Today, I'll give you a bit of punishment, and I hope you can take it to heart! " Murong Duoqian walked in front of Murong Cheng with a few steps, wanting to injure him, give him a bit of punishment.
Murong Cheng and Murong Duoqian were both Profound Grade Beast-controlling Master s before, and although they were only at the late stage, how could they be injured by Murong Duoqian?!
Just as Murong Duoqian made his move, Murong Cheng's body swayed like a swimming dragon, and flashed past Murong Duoqian. This was clearly due him using the Power of Metal Rune's penetration, as he wanted to forcefully open up his Spatial Channel to dodge the attack.
Unfortunately, a black Qi turned into a shield and blocked in front of Murong Cheng, blocking his path forward. After that, Murong Duoqian's palm landed on Murong Cheng's chest, directly sending him flying, and struck him onto the ground. Fresh blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, indicating that he had suffered some severe internal injuries.
"Thank you, Patriarch!" After being injured by Murong Duoqian, Murong Cheng turned around and left. He seemed to have a deep grudge with Murong Duoqian. This made Lu Yang more curious about the internal conflicts within the Murong Family Clan.
From this, it could be seen that the interior of the Murong Family wasn't like how it was on the surface. It seemed that they were very united.
