White-Robed Chief Chapter 1181 - Lure-In

Chapter 1181: Lure-In

“No sh*t!” Lu Guangdi answered.
Lu Zhengjun said, “Your attitude right now is not one that is seeking revenge!”
“What do you mean?” Lu Guangdi glared at him while frowning.
Lu Zhengjun replied, “I can help you get your revenge, but shouldn’t you say something first?”
“I’m not saying it!” Lu Guangdi angrily replied, “Who would beg you to help me? If you want to help then help; if you don’t then don’t! It’s not going to be a disgrace to me only anyway!”
“Not bad, you’re starting to sound a bit like me.” Lu Zhengjun nodded his head satisfyingly. “You’re right, you’re not gonna be disgracing yourself, you’re also disgracing the Tide-listening Pavilion!”
Lu Guangdi’s expression changed.
Lu Zhengjun shook his head. “Of course, you’re also disgracing me.”
“Hmph!” Lu Guangdi pouted.
He really did not want to acknowledge his douchebag of a father. He felt like it would taint his mother’s name.
Although his mother told him to acknowledge his father when she was on her deathbed, he felt like if he acknowledges this person, then his mother’s suffering for all these years would be for naught.
Lu Zhengjun continued, “My blood flows within your veins, so your failure is also my failure. I specially went and asked for a Heavenly Primary Pill just for you, but it looks like you don’t want it. You want to bet the rest of your life on your pride, hoping to regain your cultivation!”
“You…” Lu Guangdi’s jaw dropped.
He thought about this, but after thinking about it, he thought that it was too much of an impossibility. The Heavenly Primary Pill was too precious, it was not something one could get their hands on easily. Furthermore, he was but a mere illegitimate child. Lu Zhengjun had five other children, there was no way that he would give his illegitimate child a Heavenly Primary Pill.
“So how ’bout it? Do you really not want it?” Lu Zhengjun asked in an ambiguous tone.
“…Want!” Lu Guangdi gritted his teeth.
He felt his face starting to burn up, almost as if he was having a fever. However, the Heavenly Primary Pill had near-lethal levels of attraction. In order to regain his cultivation, he was willing to sacrifice his pride, all in order to get revenge and slaughter Chu Li!
Lu Zhengjun asked, “Then what should you say?”
“Thank! You!” Lu Guangdi gritted his teeth as he forced those two words out of his mouth.
Lu Zhengjun calmly said, “Looks like you still can’t let go of the past, huh? You still refuse to acknowledge our father-son relationship.”
“I don’t want to turn my back on my mother!” Lu Guangdi coldly spat.
“Whatever, if you don’t want to acknowledge it then so be it.” Lu Zhengjun lazily sighed. “You don’t know anything about the stuff between your mother and me, so don’t think that I have wronged your mom!”
“You did wrong my mom!” Lu Guangdi spat.
Lu Zhengjun shook his head. “The relationship between the two of us was overly complicated. Now that you’ve grown up, I’m prepared to take you back to the Green Deer Cliff for a while!”
“I’m not going!” Lu Guangdi rejected. “Except for the Tide-listening Pavilion, I’m not going anywhere!”
“You really don’t want to go?” Lu Zhengjun asked plainly, “You don’t want your revenge?”
Lu Guangdi stayed silent.
Of course, he knew that trying to get revenge with his own strength would be difficult. He coldly proposed, “How about this? You help me get revenge!”
“Hmm?” Lu Zhengjun seemed confused.
Lu Guangdi spat, “I’ll lure Chu Li over here and you can help me kill him!”
“You really want to do it that way?” Lu Zhengjun asked in a disappointed manner.
“Yes.” Lu Guangdi nodded furiously. “As long as he is killed, I’ll follow you to the Green Deer Cliff. Otherwise, never in this lifetime will I leave the Tide-listening Pavilion! Even if I die here of old age, I will never acknowledge you!”
“…You’re not going to get revenge yourself?”
“No need.” Lu Guangdi coldly said, “If I can have someone take revenge for me, why would I bother doing it on my own? I’m not that stupid! …So, are you gonna help me or not?”
“…Okay.” Lu Zhengjun slowly nodded. “Killing him works as well, he’s a threat after all! …I originally wanted to kill him back then, but ultimately spared him at the thought of him being good training for you.”
“Alright.” Lu Guangdi revealed a smirk. “However, don’t say I didn’t warn you, don’t go easy on him. Don’t think that just because he’s younger than you that he’s no match for you. He might even be able to defeat you!”
“Hehe…” Lu Zhengjun burst out laughing.
Although he looked like he was in his forties, he was actually more than a century old. That was the result of his intricate inner energy and the Green Deer Cliff’s unique heart techniques.
“Alright, now that you’re ready, I’m gonna summon Chu Li here!” Lu Guangdi said.
“How are you going to summon him over?” Lu Zhengjun asked.
Lu Guangdi pulled out a white jade pendant and handed it over to his father.
“This was a gift that Chu Li gave to me. He claims that as long as I break this pendant, he will come over immediately. Hehe, he even said something about lending me a hand and not wanting me to die!”
“Wasn’t Chu Li your nemesis?” Lu Zhengjun questioned.
Lu Zhengjun was actually confused about the situation. He only knew that Chu Li managed to cripple Lu Zhengjun’s cultivation.
“He is.” Lu Guangdi laughed coldly. “It’s all thanks to you. He was afraid that I’ll die on my journey here and that you’ll go find him to avenge me. Hence, he didn’t want me to die. However, he probably wasn’t thick-skinned enough to actually escort me personally, that’s why he made this thing!”
“Interesting!” Lu Zhengjun grinned.
He could understand the sentiment. Chu Li feared him, after all, his abilities were not something that the current Chu Li could keep up with.
Lu Guangdi continued, “I’ve had Elder Hu and Elder Xu appraise it before. They both said that this jade pendant had some sort of mysterious power to it. It might actually be able to summon Chu Li!”
Lu Zhengjun put his hand out and the white jade pendant instantly flew into his hands.
Fiddling with it a little bit and feeling it closely, he nodded slowly. “This jade pendant definitely feels strange… No harm in trying to break it!”
“Then, you better prepare yourself, don’t let him get away!” Lu Guangdi spat.
Lu Zhengjun nodded. “Don’t worry, although he’s definitely quite good, he’s definitely no match for me!”
“Alright!” Lu Guangdi yelled out loud and smashed the jade pendant.
As the jade pendant broke, it seemed like a ray of light was shot out from it, instantly shooting towards the ceiling. Then, without any resistance, it flew through the roof and disappeared.
Lu Zhengjun was stunned when he saw this ray of light. After it disappeared, he frowned and said, “This pendant is truly quite something!”
He asked himself if he could pull off something similar. Inherently, this ray of light could travel long distances. It would soon arrive at Chu Li’s side. When Chu Li sees it, he would rush over.
“How far do you think Chu Li is from here?” Lu Zhengjun asked.
“Based on logic, he turned back after I arrived and walked for one day. He’ll most likely only be able to reach tomorrow.” Lu Guangdi replied, “However, his Light-body Technique is quite good, he might even be able to make it even earlier.”
Lu Zhengjun slowly nodded as he thought about how he could deal with Chu Li.
Suddenly, a silhouette appeared in front of the two, almost like an illusion slowly materializing. It was the one and only Chu Li!
Clad in his fluttering white robes, he did a fist salute and smiled. “Brother Lu, why did you summon me so quickly? Are you in any danger?”
He turned around and looked at Lu Zhengjun.
Lu Zhengjun’s charming face remained serious, but his heart was in shock.
He realized that he had underestimated Chu Lu. To think that he would have such a godly skill, it seemed almost like the Light-body Techniques of the legends.
Lu Guangdi spat. “You’ve been secretly following me all this time, haven’t you?”
Chu Li smiled as he nodded. “Without seeing Senior Lu, I wouldn’t dare to leave.”
He made a fist salute and smiled at Lu Zhengjun. “I have admired the tales of Senior Lu for the longest time. Finally being able to meet you is such an honor!”
Lu Zhengjun plainly asked, “Why do you want to meet this old man for?”
“I want to learn a thing or two from Senior Lu face to face.” Chu Li smiled. “I’ve heard that the Green Deer Cliff’s martial arts are on a whole different level!”
“That’s some guts you have!” Lu Zhengjun spat, as he suddenly glanced over at Lu Guangdi. He had changed his mind. He coldly said, “Alright, then I shall fulfill your wish! Let’s head to the seaside!”
“Alright, please!” Chu Li invited.
Lu Zhengjun immediately grabbed Lu Guangdi and leaped out of the window, Chu Li followed close behind. At that point, the ocean’s surface had already been dyed a deep red, almost as if countless golden snakes were swimming in it.
