Chapter 153 Is This a Pirated Edition?

"Just call me Changsheng. I can't bear the title of Senior Brother."

Lu Changsheng spoke, appearing very refined and approachable. The other party was a cultivator from the Eastern Lands and one of the two peerless geniuses that the Linglong Holy Lord had mentioned. Naturally, Lu Changsheng wanted to maintain some distance.

"No, no, no, Senior Brother Changsheng, you don't know, I admire you very much. Your saying, 'There are no weak Dao techniques in the world, only weak cultivators,' enlightened me. If Senior Brother Changsheng doesn't mind me saying so, you're half a mentor to me."

Wang Xuanji said. He was actually quite extraordinary, with ancient sounds chanting scriptures within his body, a remarkable phenomenon. Unfortunately, he was completely overshadowed by Lu Changsheng. The two were as different as clouds and mud.

As he spoke, Wang Xuanji directly bowed to Lu Changsheng.

And Li Yunlong, oh, no, Li Rulong also bowed to Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng was a bit confused now.

He can bow to me, but what are you bowing for?

"Senior Brother Changsheng, I especially admire you. I've even collected your poems. The reason I participated in this Grand Gathering of Geniuses is for you, Senior Brother Changsheng. Can you give me an autograph?"

Li Rulong said excitedly as he took out a collection of poems, his eyes burning with passion.

The title of the collection was surprisingly 【Changsheng's Poems】.

Uh? Who wrote this? Did they pay royalties?

Lu Changsheng couldn't imagine that he actually had a collection of poems?

However, seeing how excited the other party was, Lu Changsheng was a little embarrassed to refuse.

But soon, just as Lu Changsheng took the collection of poems, he suddenly stopped.

"Senior Brother Changsheng? What's wrong?"

Li Rulong asked curiously.

Looking at the collection of poems in front of him, Lu Changsheng's eyes were filled with doubt as he looked at Li Rulong and asked, "Are you an authentic reader?"

Huh?

Li Rulong was a little confused, not knowing what "authentic" meant.

"Uh, I mean, did you spend money?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"Of course I spent money! Senior Brother Lu's collection of poems is selling extremely well in the Eastern Lands. I even used some connections to buy it."

Li Rulong didn't quite understand why Lu Changsheng was so concerned about this.

"Oh, then it's okay. Come, come, Brother Li, I'll give you an autograph. If there's anything wrong, please let me know. Since you're an authentic reader, it's okay to scold me if the writing is bad."

Lu Changsheng immediately revealed a smile. It was fine if he was an authentic reader.

He was just afraid that he wasn't an authentic reader.

After receiving the collection of poems, Lu Changsheng flipped through it. On the last page, he saw that the publisher was surprisingly the Great Luo Holy Land, and he immediately understood.

So it was published by the Great Luo Holy Land, then it was fine.

If it were someone else, this matter would definitely not be over.

Soon, after signing the autograph, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but ask again seriously.

"You didn't use any coupons, right?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"Huh? Coupons? Senior Brother Changsheng, forgive me for being ignorant, what do you mean by that?"

Li Rulong really didn't know what Lu Changsheng was talking about, but he still answered honestly.

"It's nothing, it's nothing! Come, come, Junior Brother Li, hold it carefully. Feel free to ask any questions."

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

As an excellent author of poetry collections, Lu Changsheng's attitude towards authentic readers was extremely good. After all, authentic readers were not only handsome but also well-mannered, and more importantly, they were all talented people.

Even if there were some ugly ones, as the saying goes, anyone who could afford to buy authentic copies couldn't be too ugly, right?

Lu Changsheng didn't know about those who read pirated versions and freeloaders. Maybe there were a few who looked decent.

But how handsome could someone who reads pirated versions of books be?

After receiving the autograph, Li Rulong was ecstatic, thanking him repeatedly while muttering to himself.

"Yao Mei should like this gift now."

He muttered to himself.

Causing Lu Changsheng to be stunned.

Giving it to someone else?

So he's a simp.

"Senior Brother Changsheng, I want to ask, is this... a Qilin?"

Wang Xuanji asked, his gaze finally landing on the Qilin.

Before Lu Changsheng could answer.

Gu Aotian spoke first.

"I am the Qilin Ancient Emperor!"

He was very confident, and his eyes were full of pride.

"Qilin Ancient Emperor?"

Wang Xuanji and Li Rulong were instantly surprised, but they immediately bowed and said, "Junior greets the Qilin Ancient Emperor."

They were peerless geniuses, so naturally, they could sense that the Qilin's cultivation level was very strong. Therefore, it was correct to call themselves juniors.

"En!"

Gu Aotian replied indifferently, exuding a sense of superiority.

"I didn't expect that I could see a living Qilin in this lifetime. Senior Brother Changsheng is indeed extraordinary."

"That's right, a Qilin. Since ancient times, there hasn't been one in the entire cultivation world. I'm afraid even in the ancient times, there wasn't one, right?"

Li Rulong couldn't help but sigh.

But at this moment, a displeased voice slowly sounded.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

"Why do you only see my Third Brother?"

"I am a dignified Dragon Horse, and you don't even praise me?"

"Do I not need face?"

The Dragon Horse was angry.

These two had been staring at Lu Changsheng and Gu Aotian ever since they appeared, completely ignoring him, the Dragon Horse.

Dragon Horse.

Brother.

Dragon Horse!

I'm also a divine beast, not a cabbage.

"Dragon Horse!"

"Hiss! We indeed neglected Senior. Please forgive us, Senior."

Li Rulong and Wang Xuanji had indeed overlooked Ma De Kuai.

The main reason was that Lu Changsheng's aura was too extraordinary, coupled with a Xuanhuang Qilin, so they would naturally subconsciously ignore the Dragon Horse.

It's like when you see the current emperor, the crown prince, and the eighth prince appear together, most of the attention will still be on the emperor and the crown prince.

One is the current sage, and the other is the future sage.

Naturally, the eighth prince would be ignored.

"No need to call me Senior, call me Dragon Horse Supreme! I see that you two have good qualifications. Do you want me to impart some Dao techniques to you? Don't be too polite. Just give me some spirit stones, treasures, and elixirs. Don't give too much, just keep some for yourselves."

The Dragon Horse said in this way, his eyes fixed on the storage treasures of the two.

"It's possible, but I didn't bring any treasures or spirit stones with me when I came out. After all, Senior Brother Lu once said that money is an external thing and shouldn't be valued."

Wang Xuanji said so.

"Senior, I do have some, but the things inside are all bought for Yao Mei, so I can't bear to part with them. How about you impart your techniques first, and I'll prepare a gift for you after I go back?"

Li Rulong said so.

In an instant, Ma De Kuai stopped talking, standing aside, not bothering to pay attention to the two, very ruthless.

The scene was a bit awkward, but Wang Xuanji then spoke.

"Senior Brother Lu, are you heading to the Grand Gathering of Geniuses?"

He asked curiously.

"En."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

"Then why don't we go together?"

Wang Xuanji asked.

Lu Changsheng immediately wanted to agree, but suddenly, the Dragon Horse sent a divine sense transmission, telling Lu Changsheng not to agree yet.

At the moment, although he was puzzled, Lu Changsheng still followed the Dragon Horse's intention.

"That's not necessary. I still have something to do. The two junior brothers can go ahead."

"Alright, since that's the case, Senior Brother Lu, we'll go ahead."

Wang Xuanji didn't think much of it, just nodded and left.

Indeed, he also thought that if he went with Lu Changsheng, his limelight would probably be completely overshadowed by Lu Changsheng.

Although he didn't care, he wouldn't force it since Lu Changsheng didn't plan to go together.

"Senior Brother Lu, I'll go ahead as well. We'll have a few more drinks at the Grand Gathering then."

Li Rulong said so.

"Good!"

Lu Changsheng nodded.

At the moment, the two bowed again and then disappeared into the horizon, heading to Bright Moon Ancient City.

After an incense stick of time.

The Dragon Horse couldn't help but speak.

"Big Brother, Third Brother, that Wang Xuanji is hiding a treasure."

Huh?

Lu Changsheng didn't expect the Dragon Horse to tell him not to go together for this reason.

"I also sensed it, and that thing is not from this world."

Gu Aotian also nodded.

At the moment, the Dragon Horse continued to speak.

"How about... the three of us brothers, knock him out?"

He suggested.

"It's not impossible. What do you think, Big Brother?"

Gu Aotian pondered for a moment and said.

"Uh... Isn't that a bit bad? How about we wait until the Grand Gathering is over?"

Isn't it a bit bad to knock someone out now?

At least wait until the Grand Gathering of Geniuses is over, right?

"Alright! Old Ma, keep a good eye on him, don't let him run away."

Gu Aotian said.

"Okay! Don't worry! He can't escape my eyes."

The Dragon Horse nodded seriously.
