She became a god

The martial arts contest to find a husband ended in a draw between Liu Qing and Lu Mingze.

As for the other men who had not yet joined the fight, they voluntarily chose to give up.

After witnessing the stands turn to ashes in an instant, no one felt they could withstand the power of the Five Elemental Pearls and the Ice Soul Pearl.

"Both of you young friends possess great opportunities. If you simply compare your cultivation levels, you are evenly matched. In my opinion, it would be better to test your talents. Please come again tomorrow."

When Lord Han spoke, everyone naturally had to listen.

As the crowd dispersed, Di Ziyu immediately sent someone to invite Liu Qing and Lu Mingze.

Inside the Xiangyun Tower, where every inch of land is precious, Di Ziyu raised his wine cup and offered a toast from afar, "You two fellow Daoists are quite capable. May I ask if we could become friends?"

Liu Qing was aloof and did not answer.

Lu Mingze spoke up again, "If you want to make friends, please explain your background first. You know the two of us, but the two of us don't know you."

This tone of voice made it hard for Di Ziyu not to think of someone.

“Fellow Daoist Lu is eloquent. My surname is Yun, and my given name is Chang.”

"As the ancients said, 'Clouds resemble her clothes, flowers resemble her face; the spring breeze caresses the balustrade, and the dew is heavy.' My friend Yun is truly a beauty, and she lives up to her name."

With such a sweet tongue, she looks even more like one.

Di Ziyu smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Fellow Daoist Lu. May I ask where you are from and which school you studied under?"

Liu Qing, who had been motionless since entering and taking her seat, seemed to have become more lively, her green eyes silently looking over.

Well, so everyone's quite curious about me. Lu Mingze pursed his lips and smiled helplessly, "My surname is Lu."

After saying that, he refused to say anything more.

The most famous Lu family must be the Lu family, the number one cultivation family in the Central Continent, which was wiped out decades ago.

Could this person also be a descendant of the Lu family?

As they got closer and looked more closely, Di Ziyu felt that this person's face was seven or eight parts similar to Yuan Tong's, and his manner of speaking also bore a resemblance to Ye Qingzhou.

If Ye Qingzhou weren't so young, Di Ziyu would have seriously suspected that Lu Mingze was the child of these two siblings.

If he really is a descendant of the Lu family, then it makes sense.

But... if he really is a member of the Lu family, then has this person already foreseen everything?

One of the most famous spells of the Lu family's Time-Space Spiritual Root is the Prediction Spell. Although Yuantong and Ye Qingzhou have never used it, who knows if they are deliberately hiding their skills?

As if sensing Di Ziyu's thoughts, Lu Mingze's next words were even more intriguing.

“I am not very talented and have not inherited the good genes of my family. I dare not speak carelessly for fear of disrespecting my ancestors.”

With a strong attack on the Ice Spirit Root and the Ice Soul Pearl in hand, why would he fear disgracing his family?

Unless his family was at its peak, there were plenty of geniuses like him.

And when he said he didn't inherit good genes from his family, did he mean he didn't inherit the spacetime spiritual root?

Both known descendants of the Lu family have publicly stated that they do not possess the spiritual root of time and space.

Even at the height of the Lu family's power, not everyone was a cultivator with a spatial-temporal spiritual root.

If he really is a member of the Lu family, then everything makes sense.

But these are all things Lu Mingze said himself, so who knows how much of what he said is true and how much is false?

Di Ziyu felt that it was neither entirely believable nor entirely unbelievable.

After all, who would say they are a member of the Lu family?

If you're targeted by your enemies, you'll end up with no head.

As you can see, Ye Qingzhou has always claimed to be a purebred red panda, and he never admits to having half-human blood.

Lu Mingze always speaks in half-truths, leading others to speculate. His despicable manner is exactly like Ye Qingzhou's.

If it weren't for the fact that the vision glasses she had worn beforehand showed Lu Mingze to be a distinctly human male, Di Ziyu would have really thought it was Ye Qingzhou in disguise again.

Throughout her journey through the mysterious otherworld, she was never able to find Ye Qingzhou, a regret she held dear.

Upon seeing Lu Mingze today, Di Ziyu's suspicions were aroused once again.

Full of suspicion, she observed with exceptional care.

However, this scene takes on a different meaning when viewed by others.

Lu Mingze frowned and said sarcastically, "Fellow Daoist Yun, I'm here to participate in the martial arts contest to find a husband."

Di Ziyu understood the implication. Seeing that she had lost her composure and had been reminded, she tried to salvage the situation, saying, "I feel like I've seen Fellow Daoist Lu somewhere before. Upon closer inspection, you look just like one of my... old friends."

“She is just like you, but none can compare to her, not even Wushan.” Lu Mingze shook his head and sighed, then added.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, we're all adults here. Don't play those 'white moonlight substitute' stories from folk tales; it's really boring."

"White Moonlight Substitute Literature"?

Yuantong is bald and talkative, Ye Qingzhou is irresponsible and unreliable, while Di Ziyu has a good family background, good cultivation, good intelligence, and good looks. She is not blinded by the mud, so why should she debase herself by falling for those two siblings?

Di Ziyu was displeased, but she couldn't show it on her face, and her expression became even colder.

To outsiders, it seemed that Lu Mingze had hit the nail on the head.

Realizing the strange atmosphere around them, Di Ziyu quickly explained.

"I have no romantic relationship with that old friend, so please be careful with your words, Fellow Daoist Lu."

Although she has changed her name, there's no guarantee that someone won't recognize her.

If she were to become entangled in a scandal with Ye Qingzhou, Di Ziyu would rather swear to the heavens that she would never consider marriage.

Seeing how decisive she was, everyone's attention was scattered.

"I apologize for my rudeness. I will drink a cup of wine as punishment to fellow Daoist Yun."

This guy drank so fast that Di Ziyu didn't even have time to question him.

"It's alright. May I ask how Fellow Daoist Lu obtained this Ice Soul Pearl? There has been no news of this item for tens of thousands of years."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingze answered without blinking, "A family heirloom."

A family heirloom? What kind of wealthy family could pass on such a treasure as the Ice Soul Pearl to a junior in the Golden Core stage? Everyone became even more curious about Lu Mingze's background.

Unfortunately, after several rounds of drinks, they still couldn't get a single word out of him.

Seeing that Lu Mingze claimed that drinking any more would affect tomorrow's competition, Di Ziyu could no longer keep them and could only watch them leave.

As for Liu Qing, who was supposed to be the main person being questioned, Di Ziyu had never met such a cold person in her entire life.

He stood there blankly, silent and motionless, like a puppet.

He won't answer questions, and he won't eat food even when you put it on his plate.

Di Ziyu couldn't bear the humiliation of being ignored, so she decided to temporarily avoid dealing with this person.

Little did she know that Liu Qing, whom she perceived as cold and aloof, would go after the despicable Lu Mingze.

Unfortunately, Liu Qing's tracking method was far too clumsy.

He silently followed behind Lu Mingze. Lu Mingze couldn't stand it any longer and turned around to ask, "Fellow Daoist Liu, why have you been following me all this way?"

Lu Mingze didn't expect to get a reply from Liu Qing; he was just stalling for time to think about which move to make first if a fight broke out.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qing replied.

"I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."
