This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 799 - 59 Ten Flower Realm?_3

It was clear to think about, Ying Jun was in such a hurry to come over, it definitely was not going to be anything good.

....

The hall was spacious,

by the time Lu Qingshan entered, two people were already seated.

Both individuals appeared very young and were tall in stature.

The person on the left, whose exposed skin faintly showed several dark golden secret patterns, naturally was Ying Jun of the War Demon Clan.

The man on the right had long golden hair, and his skin was golden as well.

This was characteristic of the Golden Blood Demon Clan, so it must be someone from Demon Lord Tian Yi’s side.

When the two saw Lu Qingshan, the looks they shot him were full of impatience and disdain.

"So you are Qing Ge, the future husband of Ying Mingyue?" Ying Jun saw Lu Qingshan come in and did not stand up; he just sat there, examining Lu Qingshan with a scrutinizing gaze.

"It is me," Lu Qingshan remained very calm as he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "And you are?"

Ying Jun arrogantly said, "I am Ying Jun, my father is Demon Lord Hong Lie."

"Oh—" Lu Qingshan drew out the tone as if suddenly realizing, "So you are my future second nephew."

Given that Ying Mingyue was the sister of Demon Lord Hong Lie, calling Ying Jun in that way was not much of an issue for Lu Qingshan.

Ying Jun’s face immediately turned an ashen hue, and he stood up angrily, saying, "Mingyue has not married you yet, don’t try to ingratiate yourself with me here!"

"It is only a matter of time," Lu Qingshan was nonchalant, "As for you, addressing your aunt by her given name directly doesn’t seem quite proper now, does it?"

That comment blocked any reply from Ying Jun.

By Generational hierarchy, he indeed had to call Ying Mingyue "aunt."

However, not only was Ying Mingyue younger than him, but her cultivation was also far weaker than his.

Moreover, his father had always intensely disliked Ying Mingyue, so calling her "aunt" was something he simply could not bring himself to do.

Ying Jun wanted to say more, but the man with the golden hair lightly touched him, stopping him, and then stood up with a light laugh, "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Fei Yi, my father is Demon Lord Tian Yi."

After a pause, Fei Yi added, "Our Fei Family once proposed marriage to Lord Shi Wu, wanting to marry Miss Mingyue..."

"Then you were turned down." Lu Qingshan interjected.

Ying Jun raised an eyebrow, but Fei Yi was neither annoyed nor angry, and smiled, "Indeed, besides our Fei Family, in fact, many families within the Royal City have proposed to the Demon Lord.

But after all, Miss Mingyue is of noble status, not someone just anyone can match, so they were all turned down."

"Later, we heard that Lord Shi Wu Demon Venerable found a good husband for Miss Mingyue, so I specially came on behalf of everyone to see this ’good’ husband Lord Demon Venerable picked, to find out just what is good about him."

"But now that I see, it seems quite disappointing," after a pause, Fei Yi calmly said, "Other than his background, Lord Qing Ge seems to have no other strengths."

"No other strengths? It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call him a waste!"

Ying Jun spoke indignantly, "It’s said that he was ordered by Demon Venerable Ao Ren to lead a large army to attack Falling Goose Pass of the Human Race.

As a result, even though our side was far stronger than the Human Race, because of his capture we ended up losing the battle at Falling Goose Pass." The tone of Ying Jun was filled with scorn and mockery.

"Him, besides his background, how is he worthy of Ying Mingyue?"

The two of them were playing off each other, subtly and not so subtly provoking Lu Qingshan.

Throughout this, Lu Qingshan’s expression remained calm, his eyes cold, and there was even a hint of contempt, showing no concern whatsoever.

By now, he had figured out the purpose of these two’s visit.

They were here to cause trouble.

Had it been the real Qing Ge, he would probably already be having a headache.

But for Lu Qingshan, it was actually something welcome.

Because his original motive was impure; he did not come to marry.

He would be more than happy to have someone stir things up.

"Whether I am capable or useless is not for you to judge, nor is it for those defeated by my hand that the women scramble over to decide."

Lu Qingshan finally spoke up, his voice slow, "At least I dare to go to battle, not like you, who hide at the back like waste, indulging in pleasures."

"On the battlefield, none of you seem keen to act, but when it comes to idle talk, you’re all more diligent than anyone."

"Who is the waste, you should know that in your hearts."

He spoke without a trace of courtesy.

Because his aim was to provoke a conflict with them intentionally.

"Don’t get too arrogant, who’s afraid to go to battle?"

Fei Yi frowned slightly, but Ying Jun couldn’t hold back and burst out angrily, "It’s not just the two of us; every one of those who proposed to Lord Shi Wu’s granddaughter would perform countless times better on the battlefield than you."

"Talk is cheap, isn’t it?" Lu Qingshan retorted.

"Talk is cheap?" Ying Jun exclaimed, "Is it just talk or do we really have strength, wouldn’t a fight make it crystal clear?"

"If you dare, I can arrange a battle for you. Those ’defeated by your hand’ that you mentioned, they’re actually very eager to see what you’re capable of."

When the pen runs dry, the dagger is revealed.

Lu Qingshan sneered internally, not surprised by Ying Jun’s words in the slightest.

"Are you scared?" Seeing that Lu Qingshan hadn’t reacted, Ying Jun immediately intensified his provocation.

An utterly simplistic method of goading.

But the simpler, the better.

There was nothing to fear in an open challenge, but he was somewhat wary of underhanded tricks.

"Bullying the young, is that the extent of your abilities?" Lu Qingshan scoffed.

Qing Ge was the youngest son of Ao Ren Demon Venerable, indeed still very young.

He was at least among the youngest of the Sixth Grade Demonic Cultivators.

Whereas most of those who had proposed to Lord Shi Wu’s granddaughter were already of the Seventh Grade.

Ying Jun was about to speak when Fei Yi, discerning a deeper meaning in Lu Qingshan’s words, spoke first, "Then, what do you propose?"

Lu Qingshan replied with a calm smile, "I’m still young, naturally not as strong as those older individuals; I admit that.

But never underestimate a youth for his poverty. I’m confident that once I grow up, I will be invincible."

"Anyone can talk a good game," Fei Yi threw Lu Qingshan’s own words back at him.

"It’s not just talk," Lu Qingshan continued slowly, "The fact that older individuals can best me is nothing to boast of, nor does it prove anything.

I consider myself a Low-Ranking Demon General without a rival in this realm, capable of sweeping away everyone."

"You say I’m useless? Fine, then. If anyone of my age or cultivation level disagrees, they are welcome to come and challenge me."

"When the time comes, if one comes, Qing Ge will kill one. If two come, I will kill both, until you are convinced and have nothing more to say."

Lu Qingshan challenged, "I’d like to see what you all can say if I defeat everyone of the same age and rank! What grounds will you have then to speak idly in my presence?"

Fei Yi and Ying Jun exchanged a glance, unable to hide the shock in their eyes.

They even wondered if they had heard wrong.

How dare he make such a statement?

How can someone be so arrogant?

If this statement were to spread, it would undoubtedly be like stirring up a hornet’s nest or lighting a keg of gunpowder.

Not only would those who begrudged Qing Ge for not being able to marry Ying Mingyue be enraged, but most people in the Royal City would also be dissatisfied with him and come looking for trouble.

After all, the offspring of a Kingdom Lord, a mongrel in a place teeming with hidden dragons and crouching tigers like Jian Luo King City, claiming to be unrivaled among his peers and rank.

Who would accept that?
