"Old Li, are you kidding me?" Huang Qingtian blinked his eyes.
"I'm not kidding you."
Li Hongtian said seriously, "Jiang Zhi is someone you can't afford to offend. She has a big background, and because of your relationship with Zeng Rentu, it could lead you to disaster."
"The only way to save you now is to cripple Zeng Rentu before Jiang Zhi arrives, and take a side early, which might give you a slim chance of survival."
"To put it bluntly, I'm here to save you."
Huang Qingtian listened, dumbfounded.
Finally, he just laughed.
"Hahaha."
"Old Li, are you out of your mind?"
"You want me to cripple my son-in-law for a girl from the Reincarnation Immortal Realm? Are you serious?" Huang Qingtian asked with a stern face.
"I'm not kidding you."
Li Hongtian's expression remained serious.
"Alright, if you're not kidding, then tell me, where did you get the information that Jiang Zhi has a big background and I can't afford to offend her?"
Huang Qingtian asked back.
"It was told to me by the two great beings beside me," Li Hongtian said earnestly.
"Great beings?"
Huang Qingtian turned his head to Gong Chen and Lu Chong, sneering, "Li Hongtian, when did you become so low as to call two True Essence Immortal Realm cultivators 'great beings'?"
"You're really going backwards!"
"You actually believe others' nonsense and come to persuade me to cripple my son-in-law?"
Huang Qingtian became angrier and angrier, his aggressive gaze locking onto Gong Chen and Lu Chong.
"I want to see who you really are!"
"Who dares to deceive my friend."
With that, a giant hand materialized out of thin air and reached for the two.
Lu Chong remained expressionless.
He merely waved his hand.
Two golden buckets, shimmering with light, appeared out of nowhere.
The moment the buckets appeared, the pressure was overwhelming.
Huang Qingtian widened his eyes, not yet reacting, when one of the buckets descended upon him.
He was instantly pinned to the ground, unable to move.
"Ouch!"
Beside him, Li Hongtian gasped.
Although he knew Lu Chong was powerful, he didn't expect Huang Qingtian to be completely defenseless.
It seemed his decision was indeed correct!
Fortunately, he knew Huang Qingtian's temper and had warned Lu Chong in advance, so Lu Chong only used one bucket to suppress him.
If both buckets had been used, Huang Qingtian would probably have been crushed on the spot!
"Thank you, great being,"
Li Hongtian quickly thanked, his gaze filled with gratitude towards Lu Chong.
"Top-tier immortal artifacts, they are top-tier immortal artifacts."
"Who exactly are you?"
Pinned to the ground, Huang Qingtian shouted in disbelief, his eyes almost popping out, struggling desperately.
Lu Chong narrowed his eyes.
The other bucket was about to descend.
Seeing this, Li Hongtian quickly pleaded, "Please calm down, Lu brother, please calm down. My old friend is ignorant, and he needs some time to accept this. Let me talk to him."
Lu Chong glanced at the two and nodded.
He and Gong Chen left the room.
Seeing them leave, Li Hongtian let out a sigh of relief.
"Old Huang, you're being foolish, can't you see?"
"I'm trying to save you!"
Li Hongtian squatted down and said earnestly, "If it weren't for Lu brother showing mercy, under the suppression of those two top-tier buckets, do you think you'd still be alive?"
"What exactly is going on?"
"And who exactly are they?"
Huang Qingtian asked, coughing up blood, his eyes filled with fear of the buckets.
"Alas!"
"This story is a long one, but to put it simply, Lu brother comes from a mysterious place."
Li Hongtian explained.
"What place?" Huang Qingtian asked urgently.
"I don't know the exact place, but you just need to know that it's filled with experts and top-tier immortal artifacts." Li Hongtian said.
Huang Qingtian looked suspicious.
"Why would I lie to you? Didn't you see the buckets that hit you just now? Aren't they top-tier immortal artifacts?" Li Hongtian said patiently, "Have you ever seen top-tier immortal artifacts in the shape of buckets?"
"Confused, right?"
Huang Qingtian nodded.
"According to Lu brother, he's just a manure carrier there, and these buckets are assigned to him for carrying manure. That's why I said top-tier immortal artifacts are common there." Li Hongtian continued, "That's also why these buckets are top-tier immortal artifacts!"
Hearing this, Huang Qingtian's forehead veins bulged.
Lu Chong is just a manure carrier?
And these top-tier immortal artifacts are just for carrying manure?
This sounded so unreal that it made him question the reality of the world.
"I know you don't believe it, but you have to, the buckets that suppressed you are real, you should be able to feel it yourself." Li Hongtian said, "And can you smell the manure in the room?"
Huang Qingtian nodded.
"That's right,"
Li Hongtian said, "This just proves that these top-tier buckets are indeed for carrying manure."
"Doesn't this just confirm what I said earlier?"
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.

. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world.
