I Only Marry Widows

Chapter 60: If the Real Father Doesn't Die, How Can the Stepfather Take Power



Yi Mingshu watched him with interest: "What, do you really want to have a real fight with Chu Tiange? Aren't you afraid he'll just kill you?"

"What if I can't save you in time, then what?"

Lu Chengfeng looked at the old guy's schadenfreude face, who didn't seem anxious at all, and knew that this old guy must have another scheme in mind.

He didn't bother to act with this old thing anymore, and directly put on a spoiled rich boy's appearance, stubbornly saying, "I don't care, I'm not handing over Chu Zhihe."

"Moreover, not only will I not hand her over, but I'll also kill Zhang Zhijing, and when I marry Chu Zhihe, I'll be Chu Tiange's dad."

"Could that unfilial son still fight his own father?"

Yi Mingshu's face involuntarily twitched at his crazy words, unable to imagine what that proud Chu Tiange would do if he heard such things.

He coughed twice, suppressing his almost uncontrollable laughter, "Uh, you better stop spouting nonsense. Elder Chu is our Tao Vein First Seat; how can you treat him so disrespectfully?"

Lu Chengfeng scornfully said, "Chu Zhihe willingly knelt before me; everyone saw it with their own eyes. I never forced her from beginning to end."

"We're in love, and if we get married, it's only natural. It doesn't concern anyone else."

"But since Zhang Zhijing isn't dead yet, I can't justifiedly become Chu Tiange's father."

"How can I rise if the biological father isn't dead?"

Yi Mingshu, seeing him speak more and more outrageously, quickly stopped him: "Alright, alright, stop saying these crazy things. What kind of image would it be if others heard it?"

"Besides, you think you can kill Zhang Zhijing? He could squash you with one finger."

Lu Chengfeng directly played along, cheekily grabbing his father's arm, "Aren't you here? If the younger causes trouble, the elder appears. I'm definitely not his opponent, but dad, you surely can't kill him."

Yi Mingshu stroked his beard, putting on the appearance of a moral gentleman: "I am the Sect Leader of the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect. How could I do such a thing as helping you kill and seize a wife? Don't be foolish."

"I don't care, I don't care, I must kill him, and then when I marry Chu Zhihe, I want Chu Tiange to personally attend the wedding, toast to me, and call me 'dad.'" Thinking of this triumph, Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but laugh heartily.

Yi Mingshu could only shake his head helplessly at his silly son.

"Dad, will you help me or not?" Lu Chengfeng looked at his cheap old father eagerly, tugging his sleeve.

This behavior was something 'Yi Wushuang' often did to Yi Mingshu as a child, and whenever he acted like this, Yi Mingshu couldn't help but soften.

It's just that in recent years, as 'Yi Wushuang' grew up, he gradually encountered fewer and fewer troublesome situations in the sect, and moments of such closeness between father and son became increasingly rare.

Yi Mingshu looked into his son's eyes, unable to stop himself from being lost in thought.

"If you don't help me, I'll go down the mountain alone. If Zhang Zhijing follows and kills me, you'd better prepare for the end of the family line..." Seeing the old man hesitate without giving a definitive answer, Lu Chengfeng shook off his sleeve and angrily stormed toward the main hall exit.

Yet Yi Mingshu never once tried to stop him.

As Lu Chengfeng reached the main hall doors, he glanced back at his father, unable to stop himself from calling out, "Dad... are you really not going to care about me?"

Yi Mingshu's figure seemed shrouded in hazy darkness, making it hard to see his expression, but his voice was somewhat helpless and worn, saying, "Wushuang, your father is the Sect Leader... I cannot act so recklessly."

"Fine, fine, then if I die, don't regret it." Lu Chengfeng stomped his foot, picked up Chu Zhihe standing at the main hall doors, bounded onto the Jade Palanquin, and then instructed the Ruyi maidservant driving, "Take me down the mountain."

He didn't enter the Jade Palanquin, just boldly held Chu Zhihe in his arms, shouting loudly, "From now on, Chu Zhihe is this young master's woman. I'm taking her down the mountain to elope, to have a bunch of boys and girls."

"Hahaha..."

The Jade Palanquin, pulled by the Winged Celestial Horse, flew through the sky, with Lu Chengfeng's laughter echoing through the heavens, spreading in all directions.

He carried Chu Zhihe through the land, letting who knows how many people witness it with their own eyes.

In the Dharma Form Hall, Yi Mingshu's face was turning green, "That brat, does he truly not value his own life?"

His figure remained seated cross-legged where he was, but all of a sudden, a scroll quietly floated out from between his brows and disappeared into the void.

"A Sect Leader cannot kill his own, nor help his son kill and seize a wife."

"But... I, Yi Mingshu, can... Yi Wushuang's father can..."

Earlier, although he didn't show his intentions in front of Lu Chengfeng, he knew that with his son's personality, he could never just let this go. Just a little verbal provocation would send this silly son downhill.

By then, it would be like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

The victor in the end would depend on his own methods.

He sat cross-legged in place and then suddenly gave an order: "Spread the word, Yi Wushuang and Chu Zhihe are in love. Upon learning that Chu Zhihe was to be imprisoned in the Dharma Form Hall, they eloped down the mountain together."

"This is a sect scandal; no one is permitted to spread it, nor are they allowed to descend the mountain to interfere. This matter will be handled solely by me."

In the darkness, a shadow emerged, looking exactly like the old servant Chong Shan who had stayed by 'Yi Wushuang's side earlier, appearing somewhat eerie.

"Yes, sir." The shadow responded, then vanished into the void, deploying the same magic of the Mountain and River Map.

...

And at this moment, Lu Chengfeng's ostentatious action of carrying Chu Zhihe down the mountain had already caused a huge stir within the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect.

"Oh my god, that spoiled brat Yi Wushuang really carried Elder Chu directly down the mountain?"

"Are they truly in love?"

"How could it be? Yi Wushuang, that playboy, has had countless women; how could he fall for Elder Chu?"

"I think he's just looking for something fresh."

"What if they really do go down the mountain and have children? Then it's really..."

Many couldn't help but think of Chu Tiange. If Lu Chengfeng and Chu Zhihe really got together, it would be a massive blow to Chu Tiange, a senior brother of the Tao Vein.

By then, how would he conduct himself in the sect? How would he face his mother? And how would he face Yi Wushuang?

Many couldn't resist wanting to go down the mountain and follow Lu Chengfeng to see for themselves.

But soon, Sect Leader Yi Mingshu issued a mountain-sealing order, prohibiting anyone from leaving without permission. Violators would be charged with betraying the sect.

Once news spread, the sect was abuzz.

Despite this, Yi Mingshu was resolute. Last time, the Tao Vein's numerous elders and True Inheritance coerced him into retreating.

This time is a lesson.

And a blatant trap.

"Zhang Zhijing, and Qi Zhiyuan, don't you both want to kill my son?" Yi Mingshu's form was shrouded in the main hall's darkness, his gaze deep, "Then I'll give you the chance."

"Wushuang has already gone down the mountain. Let's see if you have the guts to follow him?"

"If you descend, it would mean betraying the sect. Then, even if you're killed outside the mountain, it's a death in vain, leaving no one to speak for you."

This is an open conspiracy!

At this time, Lu Chengfeng had already carried Chu Zhihe down the mountain, causing turmoil throughout the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect. Only in the Bright Moon Hall did the atmosphere remain as oppressive as an icehouse, making everyone tense.
