Lu Chengfeng wore a set of black brocade, his face like a jade crown, and his figure slender. If not for the long sword hanging by his waist, anyone would think he was a wealthy young master.
At this moment, he looked at the voluptuous woman in front of him, whose loose white robe could not conceal her proud curves, and said solemnly, "Master's wife, this disciple sincerely requests to marry you and promises never to let you and junior sister suffer grievances in the future."
The woman in front of him was stunningly beautiful, with an alluring figure and fair skin. Her every move was filled with the charm of a mature woman, like a ripe peach, incredibly captivating.
Luo Suyi heard the young man's audacious words and bit her silver teeth in annoyance, her face flushed as she rebuked, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you do such a thing while calling me 'master's wife'?"
"How long has it been since your master's passing, and you, as his senior disciple, come to bully his wife?"
Lu Chengfeng, without blushing or skipping a beat, earnestly said, "Master's wife, you also know that rumors are spreading that the master obtained Black Shark Loose Man's treasure trove. Recently, the rumors within the sect have escalated, and almost everyone knows."
"Although we all know it's baseless, the two elders from Azure Dragon Peak and Rising Sun Peak have always been at odds with the master, and they would seize this opportunity to sabotage and attempt to seize the master's sword manual and inner cultivation heart method."
"I've heard that the Sect Leader already has intentions to select a new elder for Bixia Peak, and it is very likely to be Xue Dulong from Azure Dragon Peak."
Upon hearing this, Luo Suyi couldn't help but change her expression dramatically, her full chest trembling, "How is this possible? The Sect Leader actually wants Xue Dulong at Bixia Peak?"
Lu Chengfeng solemnly replied, "Xue Dulong is Elder Xiao's first disciple from Azure Dragon Peak. He has been cultivating the Thirty-Six Paths of the Black Wind Demon-Breaking Spear and Azure Dragon Returning to the Sea heart method for over thirty years and already has enough strength to pass the elder assessment in the sect."
"With the influence of Elder Xiao from Azure Dragon Peak, unless something unexpected happens, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop this."
Luo Suyi thought of that burly man with the body like an iron tower, muscles black and blue, and couldn't help shivering slightly, her face turning a bit pale.
Lu Chengfeng carefully observed the master's wife's expression and took advantage of the situation, saying, "Master's wife, you also know that Xue Dulong has always been extremely brutal. It is said that the number of maidservants and concubines who died in his room exceeds ten."
"Even when master was still around, he coveted your beauty and spoke inappropriately several times. The master taught him a harsh lesson each time, which also led to the feud with Elder Xiao from Azure Dragon Peak."
"Now that the master has had an accident, if Xue Dulong enters Bixia Peak... with his violent and obstinate nature, I'm afraid..."
Although he didn't continue, how could Luo Suyi not understand her situation? She tightly held the Sunlit Lotus's green silk handkerchief, her face becoming increasingly pale.
After quite a while, Luo Suyi snapped back to reality, looked at Lu Chengfeng in front of her, and gave a cold laugh, "You say Xue Dulong has ulterior motives, but what about you? Aren't you the same... is..."
"You still call me 'master's wife,' yet you can still do such a thing. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by people worldwide?"
Lu Chengfeng slightly raised his head, his gaze meeting the beautiful woman's in front of him, causing Luo Suyi's heart to involuntarily skip a beat. She felt inexplicably flustered and quickly looked away.
"Master's wife, I have always admired your character and personality, but since you are my master's wife, I will certainly adhere to the rules and never overstep."
"However, now that the master has had an accident, you have never practiced martial arts. Without the master's protection, your and junior sister's situation in the sect might not be good."
"I know the master's wife finds it hard to accept momentarily, but I can promise the master's wife that after marriage, as long as you don't agree, I will never touch you."
"I just want to hold up a sky for you and junior sister after the master's departure, so you won't fall into Xue Dulong's clutches and be subjected to bullying."
"As for other things, this disciple doesn't dare to overthink!"
Luo Suyi was taken aback, not expecting Lu Chengfeng to say such words, "You mean to marry me in name only? Then what do you gain?"
Lu Chengfeng did not speak, merely looked at her silently with his eyes. This silent stare made Luo Suyi's face blush, her heart pounding loudly.
She hadn't felt this way in so many years!
Luo Suyi slightly turned her delicate face, not daring to meet the young man's gaze. Her tone unknowingly softened, "But don't you know that doing so would completely offend Xue Dulong? He is ruthless and would do anything to achieve his goals, never giving up easily."
Lu Chengfeng's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Master's wife doesn't need to worry. No matter what, I am the sect's True Inheritance. After marrying the master's wife, it will draw everyone's attention within the sect."
"In such a situation, even if Xue Dulong is unwilling, he will not dare to stir up troubles openly."
"As long as we can endure for a while, I'm not necessarily afraid of him?"
Luo Suyi's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up at his confident voice, somewhat incredulously saying, "Could it be that your Bixiao Sword Manual is about to break through the Seventh Layer?"
Lu Chengfeng chuckled, "Yes, in at most another month, I can break through. By then, my Bihai Qingtian inner cultivation heart method will also rise accordingly."
"Even if I may not be Xue Dulong's opponent, I will no longer be entirely powerless."
Luo Suyi's face showed a look of surprise and delight, "You are indeed a genius in swordsmanship. The master truly didn't misjudge you."
"You're only twenty years old this year, right? And you've already cultivated the Bixiao Sword Manual to the Seventh Layer. With another ten years of practice, you might hope to cultivate to the Tenth Layer and become an elder in the sect."
"It's just a pity..."
As she said this, her beautiful eyes dimmed, and she couldn't help but sigh, "You have excellent talent, and in time, you can certainly surpass Xue Dulong."
"Why bother wading in these muddy waters now? By then, you may not have a peaceful time, and there might even be danger to your life."
"Even if they don't dare to use methods openly, their actions behind the scenes will be more frequent and ruthless."
Lu Chengfeng heard the softening in the beautiful woman's words and couldn't help but sigh in relief, "A man has things he must do and must not do."
"The master is gone, and I cannot watch the master's wife and junior sister be wantonly humiliated."
"Moreover..."
He paused slightly, looking at Luo Suyi with a somewhat fervent gaze, word by word, said, "For the woman I love, I will not hesitate, even if it means facing extreme hardships."
"Suyi, from now on, if Xue Dulong wants to bully you, he'll have to step over my dead body first."
Luo Suyi's white earlobes somehow turned incredibly red, and her porcelain-like face was like it was on fire, especially the last word, Suyi, made her whole body go soft.
"Master's wife, take a good rest; I'll handle the next matters."
Lu Chengfeng cautiously said, seeing the beautiful woman in front of him silent, realizing she had tacitly agreed, couldn't help but be overjoyed, saluting before taking his leave.
