"I want to take care of the Wu Family, take care of the Ancestor." Wu Biqiong slapped away Sun Shaoheng's hand: "Once everything is over, I will naturally go to the Wandao Sect."

"I'm just worried Lu Jin'an can't wait that long." Sun Shaoheng turned to look at her: "Can the Wu Family resist the Wandao Sect?

Besides, Lu Jin'an could agree to the Wu Family's marriage proposal openly, but when you arrive at Taichu Hall, he could easily accuse you of cheating and kill you, then what will you do?"

"Don't rush to refute." Sun Shaoheng said calmly: "After all, I've kissed you, and if I can't have you, I don't mind destroying you.

Lu Jin'an has only ever gone to a brothel once in so many years, and even then it wasn't to seek a woman. Would such a person who values his purity seek a flawed woman?"

Sun Shaoheng pulled her to sit back on the stool: "Do I make sense or not?"

Wu Biqiong sat on another chair: "Ruining my future?"

"I like you." Sun Shaoheng looked at her sincerely: "For so many years, I have only liked you."

Wu Biqiong looked at Sun Shaoheng expressionlessly and after a long silence, she lightly nodded: "You have a point. I am of the Wu Family's bloodline; I must shoulder the responsibility of the Wu Family's future and cannot let it decline because of these matters."

"Then let us begin." Sun Shaoheng directly grabbed her hand and moved towards the bed.

"What do you plan to do!?"

"This is the best way to prove your innocence." Sun Shaoheng said calmly: "This way, he will surely dispel any suspicion of you being a possessor from the Lower Realm.

And, I really don't want you to marry Lu Jin'an as a concubine, even if it's fake."

Wu Biqiong's eyes sharpened: "This is the Wu Family!"

"Your father and others have gone to see the Ancestor." Sun Shaoheng sat by the bed: "Or are you really someone from the Upper Realm?"

Wu Biqiong's eyelids twitched, and she remained silent.

Sun Shaoheng looked at her playfully, with not a hint of panic in his heart. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Silence is also an attitude.

As for whether Wu Biqiong is a possessor from the Upper Realm... Although her words were flawless, he still felt she was... if not, she must be!

He wants to survive!

Otherwise, instigating his elder brother to assassinate Lu Jin'an would be enough to get him killed a hundred times over.

So if he thinks Wu Biqiong is, he might as well enjoy himself first.

After all, he truly liked her for many years; soon, Wu Biqiong would become a dead person.

Watching Wu Biqiong take a step, Sun Shaoheng's smile grew even brighter.

······

Early the next morning.

While Lu Jin'an was exercising in the morning, several figures walked in through the City Lord Mansion's gates; they weren't from the Wu Family.

Sun Family Master, Sun Wei.

Xu Shu knew their purpose and after casually saying, "The Saint Heir is exercising," he left the Sun family members waiting in the square outside the City Lord Mansion.

Not until Lu Jin'an had finished exercising, bathed, and changed into the new clothes prepared by his Master, were they invited into the City Lord Mansion.

The Sun family came to apologize and make reparations for Sun Shaoyang's assassination attempt.

"I thought the Sun Family Master would have received the news quite early."

Lu Jin'an smiled at Sun Wei: "Why come only now?"

Sun Wei bowed: "Our Sun Family has always respected the Wandao Sect. My misguided son must have been used by someone, so I conducted an investigation first to try to expose the person behind the improper actions against the Saint Heir."

"Did you find out?"

Sun Wei's heart ached, and he spoke with a trace of sorrow: "It was my second son, Sun Shaoheng."

Lu Jin'an asked with some curiosity: "What do you mean?"

"The Dragon Roar Bow..." Sun Wei smiled bitterly, not wanting to say more, and stated bluntly: "I will send that foolish son to the Saint Heir and leave his punishment to you."

"Oh?" Lu Jin'an picked up the teacup on the table: "Sun Shaoheng didn't tell you he confessed to me last night?"

"He did." Sun Wei sighed lightly: "Although he left here alive, I'm worried he's lying to me, so I wanted to personally come to show my family's stance."

After learning about last night's incident, while he was infuriated by Sun Shaoheng's deceit, he understood that first they needed to calm the Wandao Sect's wrath.

So, sitting in the position of Sun Family Master, Sun Wei dared not to conceal anything.

The entire Human Clan, in both the Upper Realm and Lower Realm, has no single force that can rival the Wandao Sect.

Sun Wei spoke as he took out a Storage Ring, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards Lu Jin'an: "I hope the Wandao Sect will believe in the Sun family's loyalty to the Human Clan."

"No need for that."

Lu Jin'an shook his head; the Wandao Sect had what the Sun family had, and even more that the Sun family didn't have.

So there was no need to take away the foundational resources needed for the Sun family's development.

He changed the subject: "The Wu Family Ancestor is nearing the end of his life. Does the Sun Family Master know about this?"

Sun Wei's expression was slightly stunned; although he sensed the Wu family's recent withdrawal and speculated about possible internal issues, he didn't expect it to be this biggest guess.

"Sun Shaoheng didn't tell you?" Lu Jin'an continued to ask.

Sun Wei shook his head: "That foolish son didn't mention it."

"Is that so..." Lu Jin'an nodded, and changed the topic: "The Wu Family Ancestor doesn't have much time left; isn't the Sun family planning to do something?"

Sun Wei was taken aback and, carefully probing, asked: "Is it possible?"

After all, the Wu Family sought a marriage proposal from the Taichu Hall, and the fact that Taichu Hall didn't directly decline this matter had already spread throughout the Chang'an Domain.

"Sun Family Master, when has the Wandao Sect ever intervened in your internal affairs?" Lu Jin'an smiled slightly: "If there is no competition in the front line areas, how will you survive when the Two Realms Pass restarts the war in the future?"

He wouldn't place all his hopes solely on Sun Shaoheng, after all, Sun Shaoheng's suspicions had not yet been cleared.

If Sun Shaoheng was willing to act, then let him; Lu Jin'an naturally had his own methods.

"The strong prevail, the weak perish." Lu Jin'an tapped the table: "A very simple truth."

"Speaking of which, Sun Family Master, with your current Mid Divine Presence cultivation, you still have a pretty good chance of breaking through to the Late Divine Presence." Lu Jin'an looked at Sun Wei, implying: "The Late Divine Presence is more useful than the Early Divine Arrival, isn't it?"

Sun Wei looked deeply at Lu Jin'an; this Saint Heir was even more ruthless than Sect Master Zheng, who regarded the Human Clan as his duty.

He gently nodded: "Since the Saint Heir has said so, I also know what to do."

"There is no need to explain this to Sun Shaoheng." Lu Jin'an stood up to see him off: "After all, he indeed likes Wu Biqiong, and he is also your only outstanding son left."

Sun Wei felt slightly surprised; Shaoheng had always boasted about having a good relationship with the Saint Heir... it wasn't a lie after all?

But it was probably also because of considerations for the Sun family.

After all, compared to the Wu family of Tianjian City, the Sun family was undoubtedly a cut above.

Sun Wei nodded, bowed: "Saint Heir, I must take my leave."

Lu Jin'an returned the Storage Ring to Sun Wei in passing: "The Sun Family Master will need quite a bit for this task; don't let me down."

"Thank you, Saint Heir."

Sun Wei expressed his gratitude and led his group away.

Lu Jin'an watched this scene calmly; if he had directly killed Sun Shaoheng, they wouldn't have received such sincere apologies now.

After all, Sun Wei was a direct descendant of the Sun family. If Sun Shaoheng also died, the Sun family would truly be taken over by collateral lines in the future.

Just as Lu Jin'an was about to look away, he saw Sun Shaoheng hurriedly walking in from the main gate of the City Lord Mansion. Although he passed by Sun Wei, there wasn't much greeting.

Which makes sense, after all, Sun Shaoyang was indeed framed and killed by Sun Shaoheng, and from now on, this father-son pair would definitely have no trust.

However, that wasn't something Lu Jin'an needed to concern himself with; if anything, such a situation was quite favorable.

"Greetings, Saint Heir."

Sun Shaoheng bowed to Lu Jin'an, who casually asked: "Did you find any evidence?"

"No." Sun Shaoheng shook his head: "She is very tight-lipped."

Seeing a hint of displeasure on Lu Jin'an's face, Sun Shaoheng quickly added: "But I obtained something else."

"What is it?"

"Her blood." Sun Shaoheng looked up at Lu Jin'an: "You can use the same method you used on me yesterday to control her!"

With that, he produced a small porcelain bottle: "If you don't believe me, you can send people to the Wu family to see if this is Wu Biqiong's original pure yin blood."

A cultivator's blood and spiritual power are closely linked; without a Magic Skill like the Faceless Divine Skill, it's hard to conceal it.

Lu Jin'an reached out to take the porcelain bottle: "You and she have come this far, and you still suspect she is from the Upper Realm?"

"Yes." Sun Shaoheng nodded, his voice firm: "Just the fact that she encouraged me to attempt to assassinate you for no reason is enough to prove her guilty!"

Lu Jin'an patted Sun Shaoheng's shoulder and said lightly: "Make sure you don't disappoint the Sun Family Master cleaning up after your mess."

"I won't let the Saint Heir down!"
