I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 383 - 65: Aren’t Female Villains Meant to Be Conquered?

"We have no such intention, but since we have come to do this in such a grand manner, it’s better to clarify some things in advance, don’t you think, Sect Leader True Man?" Another Elder of the Tao Vein spoke.

Lu Chengfeng couldn’t help but wonder in his heart, "These old undying creatures seem truly determined, do they really have a way to uncover my identity?"

"The current situation is somewhat unusual. If they were merely suspicious, why would they make such a grand spectacle and blatantly pave the way for Chu Tiange?"

"One must know that if they are wrong, they would have to kneel and kowtow to acknowledge their mistake to me in the end..."

At this thought, his heart stirred slightly, and he once again burned a drop of the Power of Time.

Quickly, scenes flashed through his mind.

Only to see that after Yi Mingshu agreed to these people, the old creatures took out the Cyan Lotus Heart Inquiry Platform, the Tao Vein’s supreme treasure, and then had Lu Chengfeng sit upon it.

This item is extremely miraculous, as long as the person sitting on this Heart Inquiry Platform is not an immortal, their Primordial Spirit will be suppressed, and they will speak whatever is asked, every word will be the truth, making it impossible to lie.

Afterward, Yi Mingshu took out the Map of Mountains and Rivers to connect with ’Yi Wushuang’s’ fortune, and the two treasures resonated with each other, fundamentally verifying the truth.

...

After a brief period of daze, Lu Chengfeng came back to his senses, inwardly cursing, "This group of old undying creatures truly harbors malicious intent."

He had just used his Lifebound Divine Techniques again to peer into the future, and found that without Qi Lingxi, these old creatures still devised other ways to frame him.

"These old undying creatures have no intention of investigating my identity, whether I’m genuine or fake, they plan to confirm my identity as a spy."

"The Heart Inquiry Platform was tampered with by them, and by then it would directly seal my Primordial Spirit, suppress my Mana, making me answer unconsciously according to their predetermined answers."

"This trick is indeed vicious; if I accidentally fall for it, it would be like falling into a pit of filth, becoming filthy no matter what." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"The future is constantly changing with my interference, aside from some major trends which are difficult to alter, many other details will be influenced."

"Therefore, when predicting the future, I must be cautious, as what I see is only one possibility of the future..."

Just as Lu Chengfeng was contemplating, Yi Mingshu looked at him and asked, "Wushuang, the Elders have all spoken, do you have any comments?"

"Comments?" Lu Chengfeng snapped back to reality and sneered, "Of course, I have a comment. Since they suddenly added a condition, I naturally must add mine as well."

"Yi Wushuang, what do you mean by this?" The Elder of the Tao Vein said sternly.

"Why, you suddenly changed the conditions to make Chu Tiange the Sect Leader, why can’t I add a condition?" Lu Chengfeng replied disdainfully, "If it turns out I’m not the spy, then I also want to be..."

Midway through, he seemed to remember something, glanced at his father, clicked his tongue a few times, "Forget it, forget it, I’m not interested in the position of Sect Leader. If it turns out I’m not the spy, then hand over your Tao Vein’s entire Treasury of a thousand years to me."

"Yi Wushuang, you are simply delusional. Do you know how much our Tao Vein’s Treasury has accumulated over the millennia? It’s like a fool’s talk." The Elder of the Tao Vein couldn’t help but sneer.

Lu Chengfeng nonchalantly said, "If you’re not confident, then I can choose not to participate in this so-called investigation. No big deal, we can all go our separate ways."

"Why can you suddenly add a condition making Chu Tiange the Sect Leader, and yet I can’t?"

"Or do you think the position of Sect Leader is less important than the Treasury?"

The many Elders of the Tao Vein exchanged glances, and some couldn’t help but grumble, "The position of Sect Leader indeed might not compare to the Treasury; the resources a Sect Leader can mobilize are limited and must follow the Sect’s rules, whereas the Tao Vein’s millennium Treasury, even ten Sect Leaders couldn’t accumulate such treasures."

"Yi Wushuang, I think you’re afraid, afraid that your identity as a spy will be exposed." An Elder couldn’t help but shout angrily.

"Exactly, the more you speak like this, the more guilty you seem. I think you’re a spy from another Sect, just take them down directly."

"All of you shut up." Lu Chengfeng had specially brought a folding fan with him this time, perfect for flaunting and slapping faces. With a snap, he slapped the fan into his palm, sneering at the crowd.

"You’re the ones who wanted the investigation, you’re the ones trying to bargain, you’re the ones raising the stakes at the last minute. What, since when do you undying old creatures have the say over the Celestial Venerate of Law-controlling?"

"I tell you, today you either agree, or Young Master here will refuse to serve you — find whoever you want for the investigation."

"If you want to investigate me, all of your Tao Vein, including Chu Tiange, must first be thoroughly investigated before I will appear."

"Otherwise, the farther you roll away, the better!"

"Yi Wushuang, you’re simply outrageous, how dare you speak to the Sect Elders like this? Do you have no concept of respecting teachers and valuing the Tao, no understanding of Sect rules?" An Elder was deeply angered and yelled out.

"Young Master only respects those who deserve respect. Do you think your arrogance and confusion of black and white deserve my respect? What a joke." Lu Chengfeng snapped open the folding fan with a crack, fanned himself leisurely, and said, "Since you won’t agree to my terms, Young Master will not serve you."
