"Hmph!" Lingling huffed indignantly.

"I don't care about you guys. I do things however I want." Xiayao said nonchalantly, "Time for bed!"

"Wait!" Lord Three called out.

"What now Can you just get it over with" Xiayao frowned.

"I've wanted to say this for a while but none of you have given me the chance. Alas, as a father, I have no standing whatsoever, pitiable and regrettable..." Lord Three began wallowing in self-pity.

">>>" Xiayao looked at Lord Three then turned around silently without saying anything further.

">>>Hold it right there! This is serious business. Come with me to see the clan lord," Lord Three had no choice but to get serious.

Prompted by this, Xiayao stopped and looked at Lord Three, asking, "What's going on"

"I'm not sure. It seems someone needs your help with something. The clan lord just found out you practice the Divine Farmer Scripture recently. Why didn't you tell them before" After finishing his statement, Lord Three couldn’t resist adding a question.

"What's there to say If I had said it would have only brought trouble, and now look—the trouble has come knocking. Besides, no one asked me," Xiayao replied.

">>>"

Just as expected, this brat deliberately kept quiet about his identity as a cultivator of the Divine Farmer Scripture to avoid drawing attention from the clan lord.

Of course, Xiayao was innocent. At that time no one asked him; he had simply chosen not to say anything to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Come with me and see the clan lord," Lord Three grabbed Xiayao without caring whether he agreed or not.

“Can I go tomorrow I don't feel like it today,” asked Xiayao, although he knew the chances were slim but at least asking gave him a chance.

"Go now! Do you think the clan lord is someone you can see whenever you want" Lord Three said irritably.

“What does that have to do with me It's him who wants to see me, not me wanting to see him,” Xiayao replied straightforwardly.

">>>"

This statement wasn’t wrong; the initiative was indeed in Xiayao’s hands as it was the clan lord who wanted to meet him. However, meeting the clan lord could elevate his status and bring better treatment—so why would anyone refuse As soon as summoned, they would drop everything to attend immediately.

"Don't you want to go" Lord Three asked irritably.

“Yeah, I’d rather not go,” Xiayao nodded naturally. His purpose here wasn’t contributing to the family or seeking status in the Luo Family; it was solely about uncovering his own identity.

His identity had already been confirmed because of Yinping’s appearance—now that he knew who he really was, there were only a few remaining questions and details. He no longer felt the urgent need to get closer to Lu Wentian.

Xiayao had always believed in pursuing his identity if possible but would do other things instead if something else came up. Seeking his identity wasn’t always his priority.

This was consistent since the beginning and never changed.

">>>"

Lord Three didn't expect Xiayao to refuse so bluntly, thinking it was fortunate he had come this time—otherwise Lingjiu might have struggled with him.

"It's best if you go at least once. Don’t slight the clan lord; that won’t benefit either of us. Besides, going means a chance for reward," Lord Three said. He didn't know who needed help but whoever it was, the clan lord would definitely give Xiayao some reward.

“You’re asking me to go and do something, so what rewards could be better than my due compensation” Xiayao responded directly.

"It's you who talks too much. Alright then, behave yourself when the time comes or I won't vouch for your safety," Lord Three said irritably.

“Not necessary. If you don’t want me around here, there are other places,” Xiayao remained nonchalant, which infuriated Lord Three.

If he could, he would have liked to kick him a few times—though this wasn't possible since their relationship hadn't improved yet.

Forget it, I’ll just hold back for now and find an opportunity later!

"Are you Lord Three's son, Xiayao" The clan lord asked when he saw Xiayao, although the answer was already known. This served as a formality; however, he hadn’t expected someone to be uncooperative.

"No!" Xiaoyao shook his head to deny it.

" No, aren't you called Xiaoyao" The Family Head was taken aback, thinking they had mistaken the person. This might be someone the Third Elder brought over for another matter.

"I am Xiaoyao." Xiaoyao shook his head again.

"Then why did you say no just now" asked the Family Head furrowing his brows. "Are you making fun of me, kid Do you know who you're offending right now Be careful not to fall into a trap."

"I am indeed Xiaoyao, but I'm not your third brother's son. This point must be made clear," said Xiaoyao seriously.

"Third Brother, what is the situation" The Family Head was puzzled again and turned to ask the Third Elder beside him.

"He doesn't recognize me, there’s nothing I can do." The Third Elder replied with a somewhat bitter smile.

"I see. No wonder he doesn’t acknowledge you; what you did back then was indeed despicable," said the Family Head in understanding. He knew his third brother well although they weren’t blood brothers but had grown up together since childhood, with feelings similar to those between true siblings.

The family head and the Third Elder were not from the same father either, their situation was much like Lu Yuntian’s. They were cousins through the same grandfather; both of them were also second-cousins to Lu Yuntian.

"Child, you’ve suffered for years. If there's anything you need, just tell Uncle and if I can do it, I’ll certainly fulfill your wish," said the Family Head warmly.

"I want to refine pills and forge weapons, using any materials from Lu Clan freely. Of course, I will provide at least equivalent value items in return." Xiaoyao clearly stated his demand, which was exactly what he wanted.

The Family Head looked at Xiaoyao with a puzzled expression; why would Xiaoyao propose such terms Moreover, it didn’t seem like he was gaining from the exchange since he was merely requesting materials to refine pills and forge weapons while offering items of equal value in return. This wasn't an impossible request.

However, the Family Head worried that if Xiaoyao wasted those precious resources, it wouldn't be worth it. The Lu Clan’s collection of materials was not for such wasteful use; moreover, certain things might be irreplaceable once lost.

The Family Head hesitated because although he had heard about Xiaoyao's medical skills, he hadn’t heard anything about his potion-making or forging abilities. If he directly agreed to these terms now, it would mean he wasn't fit for the position of family head.

"Brother, I can vouch for this kid. This will only benefit our Lu Clan and won’t cause any harm!" The Third Elder spoke up at that moment, taking a chance to advocate for Xiaoyao while also trying to earn some favor.

After all, he had witnessed Xiaoyao's potion-making skills himself; there was no doubt in his mind.

"How so" asked the Family Head looking at the Third Elder.

"Xiaoyao can refine high-grade medicinal pills and even produce superior quality ones," said the Third Elder, confident that this alone would make the Family Head agree immediately.

"What! Are you kidding me He can actually refine high-grade medicinal pills and produce superior quality ones" The Family Head was surprised. Although there were people in the Lu Clan who could refine high-grade medicinal pills, they numbered only one or two; having another would be a huge asset.

"Yes, I wouldn’t joke about this. Recently he’s been meditating to refine medicinal pills; initially, I thought he was just making regular ones casually, but it turned out he was refining high-grade Essence Cultivation Pills and even producing superior quality ones," the Third Elder explained.

"High-grade Essence Cultivation Pills These are much harder to refine than Gathering Qi Pills. Our potion makers aren’t very confident in doing this; they only manage it occasionally. You said he’s refined quite a few of these pills" The Family Head immediately forgot about other matters, eager to see the pills.

It seemed refining Essence Cultivation Pills was even harder, which highlighted Xiaoyao's extraordinary potion-making skills.

"I have them all in my place. This kid plans to sell them and buy more materials with the proceeds; these are his own acquisitions, so he can do whatever he wants with them, and I can’t stop him. Here’s a bottle of pills he gave me, it's mid-grade," said the Third Elder as he recounted Xiaoyao’s independent procurement of materials, which meant that the Family Head had no right to reclaim these items since they weren't clan property.

He was considering his daughter's interests; he wasn’t so selfless as to contribute her belongings to the family.

At the same time, by presenting what belonged to him, he believed the Family Head wouldn’t forcibly reclaim them because he needed these pills to speed up his cultivation.

"Indeed high-grade Essence Cultivation Pills. The quality seems better than low grade ones; they should be mid-grade," said the Family Head who was well-informed and quickly recognized their value and grade, though if they were high-grade, he would still describe them as mid-grade due to his inability to distinguish between the two.

He had seen many top-grade Gathering Qi Pills but rarely any high-grade Essence Cultivation Pills; usually those who could refine such pills would move on to refining even higher grade ones.

The Lu Clan hadn’t yet produced any master potion-makers capable of refining top-tier pills, and they all needed to be purchased externally. Only a few major potion-making sects had such masters, making them treasures within their own sects and even more so when dealing with others.

Having just one or two potion makers who could refine high-grade medicinal pills was already commendable for the Lu Clan; it wouldn’t be inferior to what the Black Tortoise Family had.

"These are your handiwork"

"Yes," Xiaoyao nodded.

"Alright then, I’ll allow you to use our materials as long as you provide corresponding medicinal pills. Remember, don’t take too much away and leave some for the clan’s benefit; we need these," decided the Family Head, knowing Xiaoyao would indeed take a portion of them.
