Chapter 471: None of Them Are Simple

"Uh…"

Lu Mingshi was momentarily stunned, completely dazed.

Gods have long lifespans, and if you really talked about blood ties and seniority, it would have been a complete mess long ago.

Therefore, when clan members met on ordinary days, they basically addressed each other according to age.

Whenever Lu Mingshi saw Lu Wan in the past, he always called her that.

How come today… Lu Wan's tone was suddenly so cold?

What did he do?

"Speak, what is the matter with looking for my husband?" Lu Wan said in a calm tone.

While speaking, she even directly grabbed Yang Fan's right hand and stepped back slightly.

Her whole person stood by Yang Fan's side.

That posture practically placed Yang Fan in the absolute core position.

At this moment, Yang Fan's heart skipped a beat.

He sat up straight with a solemn expression.

When looking at Lu Mingshi, he even subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling somewhat guilty.

"Lu…"

Just as Yang Fan opened his mouth, his mind was still frantically thinking about how to use the art of language to make up for it.

The next second.

"Brother!"

"Thud!"

Lu Mingshi suddenly rushed over in a stride.

Following that, his whole person slid and knelt out directly, his body sliding along the ground for a full four to five meters.

Then he grabbed hold of Yang Fan's thigh in a hug.

"It is really so hard for Xiaoshi to see you once!"

"Wuwuwu…"

Lu Mingshi was full of snot and tears, crying so miserably.

That appearance simply looked extremely like someone who had finally found his biological father separated for many years.

The air instantly grew quiet.

Lu Wan: "…"

Gu Le: "…"

Yang Fan: "????"

Looking at Lu Mingshi in front of him who was hugging his thigh and crying heart-rendingly, Yang Fan doubted his life a bit.

This person… who is he?

When did he get such a younger brother he had never met before?

What is the situation?

This was clearly his first time meeting him, right?

"Husband, I didn't expect your relationship to be so good!"

Watching this scene, the corners of Lu Wan's mouth couldn't help twitching.

Amidst her shock, Lu Wan always felt that the scene before her exuded weirdness everywhere.

You must know that Yang Fan was of a similar age to them, and was only in his twenties now.

Yet Lu Mingshi had already graduated from Primordial Academy for hundreds of years, and was even a notorious shut-in within the Family.

No matter how one looked at it, the life trajectories of the two of them shouldn't have any intersection.

But what about now?

A Tier 3 God was actually calling her husband in his twenties "brother" one mouthful after another, and even put on an appearance as if he couldn't wait to rip out his heart and lungs.

When on earth did these two meet?

And… wasn't their relationship a bit too good?

Gu Le on the side looked at Lu Mingshi with equally complex eyes.

At this moment, she discovered that she seemed to have underestimated Yang Fan.

Her own man not only had terrifying personal potential, but his hidden connections and network also far exceeded her imagination.

"Brother, what should we do now?"

Lu Mingshi looked up at Yang Fan, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Should we continue to reinforce troops and directly wipe out that Ma Huainan?"

"As long as you say a word, Brother, I will immediately exhaust all the power of my Divine Kingdom and completely resolve him!"

That appearance was completely that of a loyal lackey waiting for his master's order.

Watching this scene, Yang Fan's skin couldn't help twitching.

"No…"

"Are those your believers?"

"Who are you?"

Yang Fan inwardly complained frantically.

Clearly he and the other party were meeting for the first time today, and they hadn't even communicated a single word beforehand.

As a result, the other party not only shouldered the blame without hesitation, but even acted so naturally.

This acting skill… simply reached the pinnacle!

…

Yang Fan took a deep breath, then looked at Lu Wan and Gu Le.

"You two leave first."

"Leave this place to me to handle."

Looking at Yang Fan's earnest and solemn expression, the two women exchanged glances.

Although they still had doubts in their hearts, they ultimately chose to believe him.

"Alright."

As the two left, the Virtual World restored its quietness.

Only then did Yang Fan look at Lu Mingshi, who was still kneeling on the ground, "Fellow Daoist Lu, please sit."

"Alright, Brother Yang."

Lu Mingshi hurriedly got up, then wiped the snot and tears off his face with his sleeve, and sat down opposite Yang Fan with slight embarrassment.

Looking at his appearance, Yang Fan was silent for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, we should… not know each other, right?"

"…"

Lu Mingshi's expression stiffened, and then he gave a wry smile.

"Brother Yang, I really have no other way."

"My Divine Kingdom's foundation has already been exposed in the eyes of the Five Great Families, and the most crucial thing is…"

A look of grief appeared on Lu Mingshi's face.

"After my mother saw that there were so many military buildings inside my Divine Kingdom, she directly cut off my living expenses!"

"I am truly at my wits' end now!"

Having said that, Lu Mingshi let out a long sigh.

"This younger brother has no other methods, and only hopes that Brother Yang can take me in and let me seek a job in Yang Corporation."

At this moment, Lu Mingshi looked at Yang Fan full of anticipation.

Within those eyes, there even leaked a trace of clear stupidity.

Looking at him, Yang Fan didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a moment, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "What is your expected salary?"

Hearing these words, Lu Mingshi's eyes instantly lit up.

"Fifty thousand Divinity Points a month, and I would already be very satisfied!"

Yang Fan shook his head and said, "Five hundred thousand. From now on, you will be a special consultant of Yang Corporation."

"However, this matter…"

Speaking up to here, his voice paused slightly, and his gaze fell on Lu Mingshi.

Lu Mingshi instantly understood his meaning and hurriedly waved his hand.

"Rest assured, Brother Yang!"

"Unless I actively open my Divine Kingdom's coordinates and let others enter to investigate."

"Otherwise, in the eyes of outsiders, I am the biggest suspect."

"After all, throughout the entire Human Federation, gods who truly walk the Corpse Cultivator path are simply too few."

As he spoke, Lu Mingshi transmitted his communication account to Yang Fan.

"This is my flychat account."

"I am currently living in the Lu Family's ancestral grounds. If there is anything, Brother Yang, just give the word at any time."

Yang Fan nodded and said, "Alright."

Finally, Lu Mingshi didn't say anything more.

His figure gradually grew illusory, and his consciousness subsequently exited the Virtual World.

Leaving only Yang Fan alone, standing by himself in this silent space.

Looking at the spot where Lu Mingshi had just been, Yang Fan's gaze gradually turned grave.

"Not a single one of these gods from the great families is simple."

Matters regarding the Divine Kingdom world were inherently impossible to clarify.

It was simply impossible for Lu Mingshi to open his Divine Kingdom's coordinates and let others enter his Divine Kingdom to investigate.

Therefore, he simply changed his approach.

Since it couldn't be investigated clearly, he would simply swallow this black pot and then demand compensation from Yang Fan.

As for these superficial matters, Yang Fan didn't care.

Merely five hundred thousand Divinity Points a month; to him nowadays, it didn't amount to much at all.

What truly mattered to Yang Fan was Lu Mingshi himself.

The previous bout of contact had truly opened his eyes.

On the surface, this man looked silly yet cute, and could even be said to be shameless and devoid of any bottom line, and his speech and actions also had a reckless appearance.

Yet in reality, he was extremely good at reading people's expressions and sizing up situations.

Knowing what to say at what time, his sense of propriety was grasped just right.

More importantly, even with his currently powerful Mental Energy, he was actually unable to tell what the other person was truly thinking from Lu Mingshi's performance.

This kind of person could never simply be a shut-in or mama's boy in the eyes of outsiders.

"This person has a big secret!"

"And his strength is definitely not weak."

Yang Fan inwardly grew vigilant.
