This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 802 - 61 Making Sense_2
Because of this, he would instinctively believe in this conclusion without a doubt.
He nodded.
"But, isn’t Ao Ren Demon Venerable very fond of you? How dare those two wantonly target and suppress you?" Ying Mingyue thought of another point.
Lu Qingshan said meaningfully, "Fond of me? That’s only under the premise that I don’t have my mind set on the position of Domain Lord, it’s just compensation for my contributions."
He sneered and said, "When have you ever heard of any Domain Lord in our War Demon Clan being born of mixed blood?"
"Ying Mingyue, you are also non-pureblood, you should understand best how much importance is placed on bloodline in our War Demon Clan, in our Demon Race, and their biases against us.
We mixed-bloods, no matter what, are despised."
Ying Mingyue fell silent.
The hierarchy of the Demon Race is so strict, it’s unimaginable.
And what defines the hierarchy is bloodline.
She deeply empathized with Lu Qingshan’s statement.
Lu Qingshan continued at a leisurely pace, "So, as long as I stay in the Sen Luo King Realm, there will never be a day I can rise up.
Coming to the Jian Luo King City, far away from their eyes, is my way out."
"Coming to Jian Luo King City in this way, you can also gain resources that are unattainable in the Sen Luo King Realm." Ying Mingyue’s thinking broadened, adding.
She was referring to her dowry, the Blood Divine Sand Vein.
"Exactly," Lu Qingshan praised, "However, the only downside is that I will bear the title of ’son-in-law,’ facing much scrutiny and criticism in Jian Luo King City.
Even if I can return to the Sen Luo King Realm in the future, there’s no chance for a despised son-in-law to inherit the King Realm."
"But, as long as you can do as you say, sweep through your peers in Jian Luo King City, no one will look down on you, and they will overlook your son-in-law status."
Ying Mingyue understood Lu Qingshan’s plan completely, "In this way, you can reap all the benefits of becoming my Ying Family’s son-in-law, gaining the space and time to rise, while avoiding the negative impacts."
A fierce ripple appeared in her eyes, "So, you aim to seize the position of Domain Lord in the Sen Luo King Realm one day."
"What ambition!"
Lu Qingshan said coldly, "As a mixed-blood, it’s exceedingly difficult to become a Domain Lord, but I, Qing Ge, will be the first one to do so in all history!"
Ying Mingyue’s heart trembled, feeling an inexplicable grandeur rising within her chest.
However, she quickly regained her composure, "But all of this is contingent on whether you can truly sweep through your peers in Jian Luo King City as you’ve claimed."
"If you only said sweeping through the same realm, there might be some possibility," Ying Mingyue said coldly, "Your swordsmanship is indeed superb, coupled with the Bing Syllable Mantra, reigning in the low-ranking Demon Generals is very achievable."
"But you shouldn’t have added the part about sweeping through your peers."
"Jian Luo King City is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, far beyond your imagination, especially those of the pureblood King’s Lineage."
She said directly, "Let me tell you, among your peers in Jian Luo King City, there are high-ranking Demon Generals, and not just one, even top-tier Demon Generals exist!"
"I know." Lu Qingshan nodded. novelbuddy.cσ๓
He surely knew this point.
Qing Ge’s talent is considered outstanding in the Demon Race, but definitely not the most exceptional.
"But the momentum of sweeping through the same realm is far from enough to erase the mark of a son-in-law from me; only invincibility among my peers can do that." He smiled.
"Are you truly confident?" Ying Mingyue asked incredulously, seeing that Lu Qingshan remained calm.
Lu Qingshan calmly shook his head, "No."
"Then you..."
"That’s why I came to find you."
Ying Mingyue furrowed her brows slightly, "What do you mean by this?"
"You’ve seen my methods, and also, at this realm, I have already comprehended one imprint of the Bing Syllable Mantra. It shows that in terms of talent, I am not weaker than anyone else, right."
"I admit to that." Ying Mingyue signaled Lu Qingshan to continue.
"So, the only gap between me and those of the King’s Lineage is the bloodline." Lu Qingshan said calmly.
"That’s a fact, what can you do about it?" Ying Mingyue’s expression remained cold, "Although I dislike this too, it’s the current reality, an unchangeable reality."
"No, why can’t it change?" Lu Qingshan stared intensely at Ying Mingyue, "You should have Blood Spirit Crystals, right."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Mingyue’s entire body bristled like a porcupine, looking cautiously at Lu Qingshan.
The value of Blood Spirit Crystals is undeniable, and Lu Qingshan’s intent was so blatant.
No wonder she reacted this way.
"Why do you ask?"
"Not denying means you do have them," Lu Qingshan glanced at Ying Mingyue’s expression and softly said, "Lend me the Blood Spirit Crystals first, and I’ll return them to you in the future."
Ying Mingyue scoffed, "Return them in the future, easier said than done. Whether you can obtain Blood Spirit Crystals in this lifetime is uncertain, why should I lend them to you?"
"Because I’m your future husband, is that reason enough?" Lu Qingshan said with a faint smile.
Before Ying Mingyue could get angry, Lu Qingshan said indifferently, "As far as I know, your situation seems worse than mine. That ’brother’ of yours considers you an eyesore, wanting to get rid of you."
"Precisely because of this, Shi Wu Demon Venerable wants to find you a son-in-law, so that after his demise, you still have support behind you, making Hong Lie Demon Lord hesitate to act against you."
