This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 53 Laying Plans Step by Step_3



"This idiot, he actually wants to frame Qing Ge like this?" On the other side, Chi Pu, upon hearing what Lu Qingshan had said, cursed inwardly.

The Ao Ren Demon Venerable could not possibly be unaware that Pu Qu was actually his spy placed by Qing Ge's side.

If Qing Ge truly died because of Pu Qu's intentional mishap, then he would be the one in trouble.

Even though he never directed Pu Qu to frame Qing Ge.

There are some things that one simply does not cross the line with.

He could oppose Qing Ge head-on, suppress him, or even plant spies by his side.

But he absolutely could not harbor a murderous intent towards Qing Ge.

"Is that so?" The Ao Ren Demon Venerable narrowed his eyes, glanced at Chi Pu whose expression remained unchanged, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "Then I'll arrange another batch of reliable people for you."

"Thank you, Father." Lu Qingshan quickly said.

"The reason I summoned the three of you here, you should also have an idea what it's about.

We've discussed this once before, and each of you had your own opinions. This time, I hope to get a definite result," the Ao Ren Demon Venerable shifted his tone and spoke once again.

The matter they had discussed before?

Lu Qingshan had no clue what the Ao Ren Demon Venerable was talking about.

How would he know what the three sons of the Ao Ren Demon Venerable had discussed with their father?

The more one speaks, the more one errs.

Lu Qingshan had no choice but to stay silent first and wait for his "good" brothers to speak up first.

"What does big brother think?" Diao Feng asked.

"I still stand by my opinion that it is most suitable for Qing Ge to do this." Chi Pu spoke without hesitation, then cast a provocative look at Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan was not to be outdone. He glared fiercely back at Chi Pu, while contemplating in his mind.

Most suitable for me to do?

Fine, no problem, but why don't you say what the matter is?

For the time being, Lu Qingshan could only be sure of one thing: this definitely wasn't something good.

If it were, Chi Pu wouldn't have pushed it onto Qing Ge.

Therefore, Lu Qingshan did not hesitate to counter, "I disagree with big brother's view. In my opinion, it is more suitable for big brother to do this."

Who can't play dumb?

Since you won't say what it is, neither will I.

Chi Pu scoffed, "As the saying goes 'matching doors make a marriage'. I wouldn't mind doing it with my status, but I fear it may tarnish our father's reputation."

"Even if it's for the sake of our father's reputation," Chi Pu paused and continued, "it is actually most suitable for you to do it."

"I agree with big brother's view." Diao Feng chimed in at the right time.

"Big brother and second brother ganging up against me is really unnecessary," Lu Qingshan, with a look of visible delight, expressed dissatisfaction and anger.

"Ganging up? You think everyone is like you, ignoring the big picture, with a dead-set mind?" Chi Pu said disdainfully.

Lu Qingshan suddenly stood up, anger on his face, glaring intensely at Chi Pu, "What do you mean by that?"

Just make it clear what this is all about!

Without knowing the specifics, Lu Qingshan could only recklessly choose to create chaos.

After all, Qing Ge always seemed to be such a character to the outside world.

So Chi Pu and Diao Feng were unsurprised by this behavior.

The Ao Ren Demon Venerable still had that calm expression, seemingly unaffected by the quarrel among the three brothers.

"You know, Ying Mingyue might say she is a bloodline of the Shi Wu Demon Venerable with a not so ordinary identity, but she is ultimately not of pure blood."

Chi Pu deliberately used a flat tone to incite Lu Qingshan's anger, with an undertone of indirectly scolding someone else.

Good, finally a name was revealed.

A qualitative breakthrough.

Ying Mingyue...

"So what?" Lu Qingshan repeated the name, continuing bravely, "Just because you two don't want to do it, why should I?"

He threw the ball back to Chi Pu.

"On what basis?" Chi Pu laughed coldly, "Why? It's because you are our father's bloodline!"

Alright, the ball was kicked back again.

Lu Qingshan continued to look aggrieved, covering up the emotional turbulence in his heart.

If one way doesn't work, another might.

Looks like it would be hard to dig out more information from Chi Pu. Lu Qingshan decided to shift his target.

"Second brother, do you also want me to do this thing?"

Called out by Lu Qingshan, Diao Feng couldn't just sit back and watch the spectacle anymore.

He spoke earnestly, "Third brother, Shi Wu Demon Venerable is from the Jian Luo Lineage, a demon lord with a status equal to our father.

This time it's rare for Shi Wu Demon Venerable to take the initiative to show goodwill towards our Sen Luo King Realm. This is definitely something good; we can't possibly turn away Shi Wu Demon Venerable's kindness."

Finally, Lu Qingshan felt he had some grasp of the situation, but without full confidence, he dared not speculate wildly.

Once wrong, it would be beyond redemption.

"I do not oppose what second brother has said.

The question is, you two aren't planning to use mere words to make your younger brother take on this matter for both of you, are you?" Lu Qingshan said fiercely.

He dared to speak like this because he was certain of two pieces of information: first, it wasn't something good, and second, it had to be done by one of them.

Faced with Lu Qingshan's persistent questioning, Chi Pu finally couldn't hold back, stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with rage and dissatisfaction, and shouted, "Qing Ge, you look so troubled, who are you putting on this act for?

Ying Mingyue may not be of pureblood, but she is Shi Wu Demon Venerable's only daughter, dearly cherished by him.

Shi Wu Demon Venerable has even allocated to her the Blood Divine Sand Vein, coveted by countless people.

Whoever marries her will gain the Blood Divine Sand Vein and a demon lord as a benefactor.

In the Royal City, countless people have set their eyes on Ying Mingyue, queuing up to marry her.

Now you're given the opportunity to marry her, yet you start to feel aggrieved?"

Finally, everything came to light.

The matter they were discussing was about an "arranged marriage," it was about deciding who among them should marry this demon girl named Ying Mingyue!
