Chapter 536: Chapter 536: Not Only Without Fault, But Also With Merit

"Not only did he do no wrong, but he also made a significant contribution?"

"He helped our Luo Family a great deal?"

Luo Han and the Seventh Elder both frowned at this.

Huangfu Jie standing nearby felt the whole thing was preposterous.

Getting rewarded for living off a woman’s charity?

That was sure to make people laugh their heads off!

"So, tell us, what contribution did this boy make?"

Luo Han asked with a cold smile.

To him, it seemed that Lu Qingcheng was bewitched by her infatuation, having lost all logic and was merely intent on defending Lin Yi.

"This matter concerns the confidential affairs of our Luo Family; I would ask that outsiders step aside for a moment."

Lu Qingcheng glanced at Huangfu Jie.

"Fine, I’ll step aside!"

Huangfu Jie retorted with a sneer of extreme annoyance, curious to see what sort of shenanigans Lu Qingcheng would pull off.

After Huangfu Jie had walked away, the Seventh Elder of the Luo Family immediately set up a soundproof barrier around them.

"Now that we’re alone, what’s this secret you can finally tell us?"

Without wasting any words, Lu Qingcheng simply turned her Jade Hand over and took out the Ancient Stele, which had a fragment of the "Heavenly Demon Scroll" inscribed on it, "This is what I bought for twenty million King-grade Spirit Stones."

"Seventh Elder, can you discern the Mystical aspects of this object?"

The Seventh Elder furrowed his brow, taking the stele from Lu Qingcheng’s hands and studied it attentively.

Luo Han, too, set aside his animosity towards Lin Yi for the moment and joined the Seventh Elder to examine the stele.

Both of them could see that this stele was extraordinary and suspected that its engravings might have an important origin.

Yet, despite looking it over for quite some time, they couldn’t make out anything substantive and could only give up in frustration, shaking their heads, "We can’t see what it is."

"Could it be some kind of Ancient Secret Technique?"

"It’s right you can’t see it."

Lu Qingcheng thought dismissively before putting on an air of mystery, "Seventh Elder, have you heard of the ’Heavenly Demon Scroll’?"

The Seventh Elder’s expression became somewhat disgruntled upon hearing this, "The ’Heavenly Demon Scroll’ is one of the Five Great Mysterious Scriptures of the Green Ruins Realm. Surely any passerby would have heard of it—how could I not know of ’Heavenly Demon Scroll’?"

But no sooner had he finished speaking than his face suddenly changed, and he stared at the stele before him, "Are you saying that what’s inscribed here is the ’Heavenly Demon Scroll’?"

Lu Qingcheng nodded slightly, "It’s just a fragment."

Seeing Lu Qingcheng’s confirmation, a storm of shock and disbelief surged through both the Seventh Elder and Luo Han.

It was actually the "Heavenly Demon Scroll"?

Even as just a fragment, its value was incalculable!

If word got out, it would become the focal point of competition amongst all the great ancient sects and Holy Lands!

"Could this be a mistake?"

Doubt and astonishment filled Luo Han’s face, "How do you know this is the ’Heavenly Demon Scroll’?"

"I’ve already grasped the basics; do you think it’s real or fake?"

Lu Qingcheng sneered, and suddenly released a tremendous Demon Power from her body, startling both the Seventh Elder and Luo Han.

This formidable presence was truly extraordinary!

It felt as if the breath of an Ancient Sky Demon had returned to the mortal realm.

Clearly, Lu Qingcheng was not lying.

"The ’Heavenly Demon Scroll’ appears profoundly abstruse; how on earth did you manage to comprehend it?"

Luo Han’s expression darkened slightly. Lu Qingcheng’s rise was already a serious threat to his status as the top Heavenly Pride of the Luo Family. And now, she had even gained insight into one of the Five Great Mysterious Scriptures—wouldn’t her strength surpass his?

"Since it is a Miracle Scripture, it’s not something just anyone can learn. These kinds of things depend on fate."

Lu Qingcheng remained composed on the surface but scoffed inwardly. Why should I tell you how I comprehended it?

Are we that close?

She had suffered under Luo Han’s oppression for quite some time while in the Central Province Luo Family. Now, to expect her to share the methods to enter the "Heavenly Demon Scroll" was nothing but a pipe dream.

Seeing that Lu Qingcheng had no intention of divulging anything, Luo Han snorted coldly as well. If Lu Qingcheng could grasp the "Heavenly Demon Scroll," of course, he too could achieve it!

"The content on this Ancient Stele is incredibly complex. I didn’t realize at first that it was a fragment of the ’Heavenly Demon Scroll,’ and it was Lin Yi who first saw through its Mystique."

"If it weren’t for Lin Yi’s enlightenment, our Luo Family would never have acquired this fragment of the ’Heavenly Demon Scroll.’ Now, tell me, has Lin Yi not done our Luo Family a great service?"

"Shouldn’t our Luo Family be grateful to him?"

Lu Qingcheng looked at the Seventh Elder and Luo Han with a calm expression.

At that moment, a look of regret also appeared on Lin Yi’s face, "What a pity that I didn’t have enough Spirit Stones; otherwise, I wouldn’t have let this object fall into the hands of another."

Seeing this, the Seventh Elder smiled and said, "I see."

"It seems we have misunderstood friend Lin Yi. Here and now, I offer my apologies."

The "Heavenly Demon Scroll" was incredibly precious; its value beyond measure. Lin Yi helping Lu Qingcheng to acquire its fragment was undoubtedly a great contribution!

Yet, Lin Yi’s gaze was fixed on Luo Han, making it clear that he expected an apology from him.

"Luo Han, aren’t you going to apologize to friend Lin Yi?"

The Seventh Elder rebuked sharply, "You were even about to make a move against friend Lin Yi just now. Is this how our Luo Family treats guests?"

Though Luo Han was annoyed inside, in the end, he clasped his hands and bowed his proud head to Lin Yi.

However, he still remained fixated on the "Heavenly Demon Scroll" fragment in his heart, "Qingcheng, this fragment of the ’Heavenly Demon Scroll’ belongs to the family, not to you personally. You must hand it over to the family soon, and not keep it for yourself."

"Of course, for now, it will remain with me,"

Lu Qingcheng responded noncommittally, "Once I’ve finished studying it, I will naturally present it to the family."

"There’s no rush."

The Seventh Elder nodded with a smile, "Qingcheng, you must focus these next few days on the ’Heavenly Demon Scroll,’ try to master the contents of this fragment. It will surely be a great boon to your strength."

"The family has high hopes for you in the upcoming battle for the King List."

Although it was Lu Qingcheng’s first time participating in the battle for the King List, she had the Water Spirit Treasure Body, and her strength had improved by leaps and bounds. Now, with the fragment of the "Heavenly Demon Scroll," she was set to soar high in this battle and win great honor for the Luo Family!
