Lu Changsheng forced himself to hold the impulse back.

He then walked to the palace.

Lu Changsheng had made up his mind. Once he became the Chief Leader of the sect, he would tear down the stairs, or at the very least change the rules. Walking up the stairs was really too tiring.

“Master!

“Uncle-master Liu Yun!

“Uncle-master Bai Yun!”

Walking in the palace, Lu Changsheng greeted his seniors one by one respectfully.

“Good! Good!”

“Senior Brother Qing Yun, you have such a good student! Much, much better than mine. What a shame… Well, I have to admit that I’m jealous of you.” Perfected Liu Yun liked Lu Changsheng a lot. He would keep saying the same thing every time he saw Changsheng.

“Be careful with your words. Your student will feel hurt again. Also, there is no shame in having Changsheng as my student.” Perfected Qing Yun seemed to be slightly offended.

Lu Changsheng simply remained silent. He didn’t really want to involve himself in the argument, he thought that he would even enjoy himself if the two seniors started a fight.

“Two Senior Brothers, let’s focus on the grand meeting at hand,” Perfected Bai Yun hurriedly reminded them.

When the grand meeting was mentioned, the both of them suddenly turned serious.

“Changsheng, the grand meeting will be held tomorrow and you will officially become the Eldest Senior Brother in front of all the disciples. Before that, you would still have a few things and you must do them correctly,” Perfected Qing Yun said seriously.

“I understand.” Lu Changsheng nodded. He knew that the grand meeting was a big deal and the consequence of a small mistake could be serious.

In fact, in Zenith Heaven, a disciple should treat everything seriously.

“Qingfeng.” Perfected Qing Yun called out someone.

A good-looking young man in white robe embroidered with the pattern of Qilin walked in the palace. He looked to be about the same age as Lu Changsheng and was a Core Disciple in the sect.

Such a young Core Disciple must be the son of someone important in the sect.

“Changsheng, this is your Junior Brother Qingfeng. His father is the head of Sword Hall. Even though he’s younger than you, he will tell you what to do for tomorrow’s grand meeting. You just need to follow him.” Perfected Qing Yun introduced the young man to Lu Changsheng.

The latter then nodded.

“Senior Brother Changsheng.” Qingfeng took a quick glance at Lu Changsheng and bowed to him.

“That is not necessary.” Lu Changsheng hurriedly held Qingfeng’s arm. Because Qingfeng’s father was the head of Sword Hall, Lu Changsheng thought that he had to build a good relationship with him.

Qingfeng was an innocent young man. Lu Changsheng’s heavenly appearance really stunned him, and what also surprised him was Lu Changsheng’s easy-going personality.

Because of his father, Qingfeng would receive compliments from the other disciples from time to time, he tended to feel quite good about this treatment. But in front of Lu Changsheng, he felt slightly ashamed.

Lu Changsheng had no idea what Liu Qingfeng was thinking, however, in his eyes, Liu Qingfeng seemed to be a promising young man.

He was still young and good-looking. More importantly, his father was even the head of Sword Hall! If Lu Changsheng wanted to learn how to ride a sword in the future, Liu Qingfeng could definitely help him.

“Qingfeng, your father wants you to learn from your Senior Brother, this is the only reason why he tried so hard to send you here. Be mature and don’t act like a kid anymore, remember this,” Perfected Qing Yun said to Qingfeng.

“Act like a kid? What did Junior Brother Qingfeng do?” Lu Changsheng was quite curious.

Qingfeng looked rather embarrassed as he lowered his head.

“A few days earlier, the Deputy Chief Leader of the Sun-moon Sword Sect found his father and suggested a marriage alliance. Qingfeng and the girl met for a while, but once the girl went back, she told her father that she would rather marry a piece of wood. Hahaha!” Ignoring Liu Qingfeng’s flustered state, Perfected Bai Yun burst out laughing.

Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised. Liu Qingfeng looked like an outstanding young man, why did the date end so badly?

It seemed that the concept of dating was still too early for Liu Qingfeng.

“Uncle-master Bai Yun, it’s not like what you said. We just didn’t match…” Liu Qingfeng hurriedly tried to explain.

Clearly, the three elderly men didn’t care how Liu Qingfeng felt. They just kept on laughing.

“You two can leave now. Remember not to make any mistakes in preparing for the grand meeting,” Perfected Qing Yun reminded them.

That was the end of the small gathering.

“Master, is that it? Nothing else?” Lu Changsheng asked.

“No,” Perfected Qing Yun stopped to think if he forgot something and said this.

Lu Changsheng really didn’t know what to say. They made him climb so many steps just for something like this…

“Then why didn’t you just send Junior Brother Qingfeng directly to me?” Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but ask his Master.

Perfected Qing Yun looked a bit surprised upon hearing this. He went silent as he was thinking carefully for a while, he then turned to Lu Changsheng. “You’re right! My good student, you’re even smarter than I am,” Perfected Qing Yun’s tone was very sincere as he said this.

“True. Changsheng is indeed very smart.”

“If things go smoothly, in the future, Changsheng is very likely going to comprehend the ultimate Dao and ascend to the celestial world.”

Liu Yun and Bai Yun both praised Lu Changsheng’s intelligence sincerely.

However, their compliments didn’t cheer Lu Changsheng up at all.

Instead, he could only sigh in his mind.

Lu Changsheng and Liu Qingfeng then left the palace together.

Outside of the palace, Liu Qingfeng noticed that the slightly upset look on Lu Changsheng’s face. He asked, “Senior Brother, did their compliments not make you happy?”

This was such a clueless question.

Lu Changsheng was truly speechless. He really didn’t know what to say.

He could only just release a long sigh.

After seeing his Senior Brother do this, Liu Qingfeng didn’t insist on continuing the question.

Walking down the stairs took them quite a while.

When they finally reached the bottom, Lu Changsheng broke the silence by asking, “So about your date… did she not like you? Or maybe you didn’t like her?”

“What happened really wasn’t a date. Our personalities just didn’t match. She doesn’t like me.”

“How do you feel about that girl then?”

“Not that bad. I just have no idea why she isn’t into me.”

“Did you mention that your father is the head of Sword Hall?”

“No, but I think she already knows. Why should I mention my father?”

“I see. Did she ask about the properties owned by your family?”

“No.”

Junior Brother Qingfeng answered honestly. Lu Changsheng quickly cast a notable look at Liu Qingfeng.

“So you know why she doesn’t like me?” Liu Qingfeng hurriedly asked.

“A little bit,” Lu Changsheng responded ambiguously on purpose.

“Senior Brother, please tell me.” Liu Qingfeng couldn’t hold back his curiosity.

“You’re too young to understand this. It’s better that you don’t know,” Lu Changsheng said casually.

“I see.” Qingfeng nodded innocently and stopped asking him.

Qingfeng continued to follow Changsheng as they walked to the red hill together.

In the glimmering twilight, Lu Changsheng’s demeanor made him look just like a celestial deity in his white, long robe.

While remaining silent, Lu Changsheng’s dark pupils seemed to have contained stars and even the universe.

Liu Qingfeng couldn’t help but admire such a graceful Senior Brother.

After a while.

Lu Changsheng suddenly asked Liu Qingfeng, “How many properties does your family own?”
