“Just a special guest?” Ling Chuxi asked again, confused. These so-called special guests were actually just good friends of the sect’s disciples. Although they were also supported by the sect, they were far more inferior than special guest elders in terms of strength and status.
Ling Chuxi still did not know why Lu Chengfeng who was only a special guest was so proud, and Duan Feiyu also seemed to be very polite to him. What was the reason?
“Although Lu Chengfeng is only a guest, his ancestor Lu Jiantang was once the number one expert of the Sacred Realm of Sects. 700 years ago, our Celestial Sect encountered a major change and had a bad relationship with the other sects. Lu Jiantang, as the special guest elder of the Celestial Sect, fought alone against four special guest elders from the Heavenly Star Sect, Blue Wave Sect, Black Sword Sect, and Cold Moon Palace, and the battle ended in a draw.
“After that war, the prestige of Lu Jiantang spread all over the Sacred Realm of Sects, and it helped our Celestial Sect survive the crisis and gain its current reputation.
“Ever since Lu Jiantang went into seclusion, all the descendants of the Lu family held the position of ‘special guest elders’ in the Celestial Sect. However, their cultivation was getting weaker with each generation, and they could only rely on Lu Jiantang’s name to hold on to the position. Lu Chengfeng, due to his average cultivation, never reached the realm of True Essence. Naturally, we could not let him be a special guest elder anymore, so he could only be a special guest.
“However, Lu Jiantang’s renowned name still lingers, and Lu Chengfeng is also the descendant of the previous special guest elders. Because of that, he is still considered very powerful, not only in our Celestial Sect, but in the entire Sacred Realm of Sects,” Duan Feiyu explained, knowing why Ling Chuxi was surprised.
“Additionally, although the man is arrogant, his personality is not that bad. Don’t lower yourself to his level,” Duan Feiyu added, worried that Ling Chuxi would hold a grudge against Lu Chengfeng because of his attitude earlier.
Only now did Ling Chuxi understand. No wonder the Celestial Sect sent Lu Chengfeng to bring the Ink Jade Crystals. The ordinary-looking old man actually had such an extraordinary background!
Ling Chuxi noticed that Duan Feiyu only mentioned the seclusion of Lu Jiantang, but didn’t mention his whereabouts. She guessed that Lu Jiantang was still alive. When one’s cultivation reached the realm of True Essence, their lifespan would be much longer than an ordinary person’s. For example, Mo Kongyuan and the other guardians were over a hundred years old, but they looked like they were in their sixties or seventies. If they didn’t encounter any life-threatening situations, they could probably even live up to two or three hundred years old.
With Lu Jiantang’s cultivation, as long as there were no accidents, he could probably live for a thousand years. It was because of his existence that Lu Chengfeng had this current status.
“It’s okay. No matter what, he is still a senior. I won’t take it to heart,” Ling Chuxi said with a smile. She was used to the bumptious attitude of the sects’ disciples. It was not surprising that Lu Chengfeng was arrogant due to his background, but he should realize how lacking his abilities were. He only had ordinary cultivation, but was still so arrogant. It made him look quite foolish.
If Lu Chengfeng knew that the impression he had given Ling Chuxi was summed up by the word ‘foolish’, who knows how he would feel.
Ling Chuxi could not be bothered to be calculative with Lu Chengfeng, but it did not mean that Lu Chengfeng would not be calculative with her. As a descendant of Lu Jiantang, even Duan Qingchen had to be respectful to him. Others flattered him whenever they met him, and that was why he developed such arrogance and self-centeredness. Moreover, it was the first time he had been antagonized by a junior, and just thinking about it left him feeling very frustrated.
“Sooner or later, she’ll know how good I am.” Accompanied by Su Yizhi and some others, Lu Chengfeng drank wine and thought about how to teach Ling Chuxi a lesson.
