Eaten by "bad things"?
Zhang Quan flew into a rage, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"If you don't believe it, then forget it."
Zhang Quan suppressed his anger, "You'd better tell the truth."
"Alright then," Mo Hua said with a serious little face, "I'll tell the truth. Actually, it was me who 'ate' your ancestor!"
Zhang Quan was furious:
"You damn brat, spouting nonsense and mocking me, treating me like a fool?!"
Mo Hua was helpless.
He didn't believe a lie, nor did he believe the truth, there was really nothing she could do.
It's your own choice to be a fool.
Fearing Zhang Quan would get so angry that something bad might happen, Lu Chengyun said to Mo Hua:
"Gentleman, it's getting late, perhaps it's time for a short rest..."
"I personally had a room prepared for the gentleman, and I hope he likes it."
Mo Hua sneakily glanced at Zhang Quan, pretending to be "scared."
Lu Chengyun sighed and said to Zhang Quan:
"The gentleman is an honored guest, he must not be treated disrespectfully, disturbed, and certainly not with any other intentions..."
His tone was not heavy, but his eyes were cold and left no room for refusal.
Zhang Quan's mouth twitched, and he clenched his teeth and said:
"Fine, I'll remember that!"
Lu Chengyun nodded slightly.
Mo Hua also nodded proudly at Zhang Quan,
"Remember, I am an honored guest!"
Seeing that Zhang Quan was about to get angry again, Lu Chengyun quickly said:
"Someone, take the gentleman to his room."
Mo Hua took the opportunity to slip away, bowing:
"Thank you, Lu Family Head, for the hospitality."
Then he placed a small hand behind his back and strutted out of the hall, following a corpse cultivator.
The more Zhang Quan looked, the angrier he became, with his fingers gripping into the stone table, gouging out five finger holes.
Lu Chengyun shook his head, "It's just a child, Brother Zhang, there's no need to be so angry."
Just a child?
Zhang Quan sneered in his heart.
You have never been angered by him.
If you had been angered by him, you might want to kill him more than I do and would stop uttering such cold, indifferent words like "just a child."
Zhang Quan was about to say something.
But Lu Chengyun shook his head at him slightly, "A little patience can upset great plans."
Zhang Quan had no choice but to swallow his anger, but he still felt very unconvinced, and he said sinisterly:
"Brother Lu, this kid, he must have ulterior motives!"
Lu Chengyun didn't seem to care, looking at Zhang Quan with a half-smile, "Brother Zhang, don't you have ulterior motives as well?"
Zhang Quan froze, his eyes flickered, and he said with a forced smile:
"Brother Lu jests."
Lu Chengyun, however, said indifferently:
"In this world, only oneself has no ulterior motives towards oneself. Besides that, between father and son, brothers, husband and wife, there are always ulterior motives, it's just a matter of degree."
"You have ulterior motives, the gentleman has ulterior motives, the corpse cultivators in this cave, to some extent, all have other thoughts..."
Lu Chengyun smiled slightly, "These are actually irrelevant."
"As long as this gentleman can work for me, it doesn't matter if he has ulterior motives. To put it another way, it is normal for him to have ulterior motives."
"If he doesn't have ulterior motives, that's when I'd become suspicious."
Lu Chengyun looked at Zhang Quan indifferently, "You are the same, Brother Zhang."
Zhang Quan appeared calm, but cold sweat seeped out inside.
Zhang Quan bowed, "Family Head, rest assured, I will serve you with the loyalty of a dog and horse."
Lu Chengyun smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying.
