This is what you think, what does it have to do with me?

Chu Xinghe said without even turning his head.

Lu Yuan's pupils constricted upon hearing these words.

He even looked at Chu Xinghe with a gaze full of wariness.

"You truly aren't afraid of death, daring to take anything."

Chu Xinghe shook his head.

"That eastern emperor bell is the property of a man named Chu Xinghe, who was Wen Rushui's disciple."

"After Chu Xinghe died, the eastern emperor bell disappeared. Do you still not understand why it suddenly appeared in your hands?"

"You don't need to be wary of me; I wouldn't dare take that thing."

"This Dao Artifact has appeared once before. Why did no one dare to snatch it? You're still holding onto a sense of wishful thinking."

The Lu Family Old Ancestor felt the fog in his mind suddenly lift.

"My Lu Family was wiped out by the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Body."

"However, a portion of our Lu Family managed to escape. The Heaven-Devouring Demonic Body didn't care and didn't plan to continue looking for trouble with us."

"The Tantai Family's Emperor Scripture encountered a problem. They used the news that people from the Lu Family were still alive, combined with coming to the rescue, to gain a favor from the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Body and help them solve the Emperor Scripture issue."

"There were rumors before that the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Body Wen Rushui was at the Quasi-Emperor cultivation level, only a step away from being a Great Emperor, and could see the problems with the Emperor Scripture."

"It's just that the Lu Family previously had a good relationship with the Tantai Family, and they didn't want people to know the Tantai Family was the kind of treacherous villain that betrays trust."

"The Tantai Family wouldn't act personally and would even cooperate with the Heavenly Dao Sect later."

"Helping the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Body earlier was also for the sake of the Guanxin Tower. That's a power of their Tantai Family; if something happened, it would inevitably lead people to look down on them."

"What a great plan. Seemingly unusual actions actually have such a huge conspiracy behind them."

"Even their Tantai Family managed to gain a good reputation."

"Rescuing the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Body was for the sake of their guest, and cooperating with the Heavenly Dao Sect was for the sake of all living beings."

"I reckon they're double-dealers, seemingly cooperating with the Heavenly Dao Sect in secret, but actually cooperating with the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Body."

"Having a foot in both camps—they've truly played this to the fullest."

You see, this is why Chu Xinghe enjoys chatting with Seniors.

They have lived long lives and think about problems in complex ways.

They also think quite a lot.

Flashes of inspiration often strike them.

With just a random point of support, they can connect everything together.

See, isn't this performance quite good?

Lu Yuan also felt like his mind was exploding.

So that's how it is.

It really was her doing.

And he even wished her a happy wedding.

Happy my foot.

When I get the chance, I will definitely kill you.

At this moment, the Lu Family Old Ancestor fell into deep thought.

Looking at Chu Xinghe, he suddenly bowed in greeting.

"Thank you, Young Master, for clearing up my confusion."

Lu Yuan also hurriedly bowed.

Chu Xinghe accepted the gesture gracefully.

"Lu Yuan, what else have you seen?"

"Only if you can see through it can I determine how to help you next."

"If you can't see through it, once your life is safe and sound, I will leave."

Lu Yuan's expression suddenly became tense.

Stupid brain, move faster, think faster!

The Lu Family Old Ancestor also fell into contemplation.

Something suddenly occurred to him.

However, he held back and did not say it out loud.

Lu Yuan looked at the information in his hand.

A question suddenly came to mind.

"There were rumors before that the Heavens Secret Pavilion and the Tianyan Holy Land were both created by Wen Rushui, but those two forces have now been wiped out."

"Plus, with the Heavenly Dao Sect watching now, the forces in Wen Rushui's hands need to guard against the Heavenly Dao Sect while also planning other things. The forces she has are not enough."

"At this time, the Tantai Family cooperating with her is exactly what she wants."

"She helps the Tantai Family solve the Emperor Scripture problem, and the Tantai Family secretly helps her handle things."

"Then, as long as we make the Tantai Family too busy to look after themselves—ideally forcing them to prove their own innocence—they won't have time to bother with us."

"Our crisis will be temporarily resolved, the power behind my wife will also be temporarily safe, and we'll have more time to prepare for subsequent matters."

"We could even use this news to temporarily gain the trust of the Heavenly Dao Sect."

Lu Yuan seemed to have discovered a mystery, and his eyes grew excited.

The Lu Family Old Ancestor also had a look of gratification.

"I wonder if I'm right?"

Lu Yuan looked at Chu Xinghe.

Chu Xinghe didn't answer directly, but instead said something else.

"This is what you thought; it has nothing to do with me."

The Lu Family Old Ancestor and Lu Yuan both had looks of sudden realization.

Yes.

They couldn't frame their benefactor.

This was what they had come up with.

As the remnants of the grand ancient Lu Family, could they really not even see through this small problem?

"Old Ancestor, this news needs to be spread as quickly as possible."

The Lu Family Old Ancestor nodded.

"I'll go right now."

Chu Xinghe coughed.

A Void Passage appeared.

"Eh, how is there another Secret Realm here, and even a Void Passage?"

The Lu Family Old Ancestor nodded toward Chu Xinghe.

His eyes were filled with gratitude.

"Thank you."

Lu Yuan said with a serious expression.

"Thank me for what? I just said, this is what you thought of; it has nothing to do with me."

"Don't let your wife look down on you; a man must stand tall."

"However, after this matter, you should make plans as soon as possible."

Lu Yuan nodded heavily.

His eyes even grew a bit moist.

He was so moved.

When he turned around, the depths of his eyes already held killing intent.

Dantai Jingyue, you just wait for me.

[Uh, what happened? A rift has formed between the Child of Destiny and the female protagonist. Lu Yuan's destiny value has decreased by 50,000, Dantai Jingyue's destiny value has decreased by 80,000, and the Master has gained 13 million destiny value.]

"It's nothing, just adding a bit of fun to a boring life."

Lu Yuan walked to his wives' side.

"I've already thought of a way to temporarily ensure the safety of your clansmen."

With one sentence from Lu Yuan, the faces of his wives were filled with disbelief.

However, they didn't believe this was something Lu Yuan could have thought of.

It must have been with that Young Master's help.

Why was he pretending to be a big shot?

Shen Ruozhi looked at Lu Yuan.

"She cannot enter our Family. I don't agree. In this house, it's either her or me!"

As soon as Shen Ruozhi spoke, Su Yunian began to panic.

She didn't want to go back to that home.

Tears streamed down her face instantly.

She looked at Lu Yuan, her eyes filled only with pitifulness.

Lu Yuan also felt a massive headache.

"You all agreed before, why don't you agree now?"

Shen Ruozhi snorted coldly.

"Who knows if those are crocodile tears? She's already considering so much before even marrying in; what will happen in the future?"

"Right, we don't agree either."

The other five people also hurriedly spoke up.

Since Shen Ruozhi had spoken, they were all on the same side.

Of course they had to stand up.

Lu Yuan had a massive headache and didn't know what to do for a moment.

He couldn't abandon six for the sake of one.

He was just one step away; why was it so difficult?

It was as if the Heavens themselves were working against him.

Women truly are troublesome.

Su Yunian looked at the troubled Lu Yuan.

"Brother Lu, I will leave."

The expressions of Lu Yuan's six wives changed.

What a clever 'retreat to advance' tactic; her mind is truly terrifying.

Chu Xinghe, watching from a distance, saw this scene.

Prejudice in a person's heart is a massive mountain.

The Family crisis hadn't even been resolved yet.

And they've already started fighting over jealousy.

How can a team like this defeat a villain?

What a crappy life... Dantai Jingyue, resting in the Guanxin Tower.

Her eyelids kept twitching incessantly.

"Grandpa Xin, I have a bad premonition."
