As they spoke, Asha Ruya looked at Lü Cheng with a strange expression.
"What's wrong?" Lu Cheng asked.
"Do you know how you got your parliamentary seat?" Asha's asked.
"I don't know," Lü Cheng shrugged.
"I just mentioned it casually, I didn't expect them to actually give it to me."
“This matter is indeed influenced by the former priest of the Holy City whom you know, as well as your parents. After all, the Holy City is currently at odds with many organizations, and its relationship with the Magic Court is not good either. So, they have ulterior motives towards you. They gave you the identity of one of their own so that you could cause trouble with the Holy City,” Asha Ruya said.
"However, the most direct relationship is with your uncle."
"..."
"Huh?" Lu Cheng looked completely bewildered.
"How come I suddenly have another uncle?"
“You know the Asian Magic Association, right?” Asha Ruya said.
“Su Lu, the most prestigious councilor in the Asian Magic Association, is your uncle.”
"When you caused a ruckus at the Magic Palace, news about you was reported. I also received the news at the time, and out of curiosity, I looked it up and discovered this secret."
"No, it's not exactly a secret. It seems to be information released by the Holy City, because State Councilor Su Lu and Shao Zheng, the president of the country's Magic Association, are at odds. They're probably trying to stir things up."
"I just didn't expect that State Representative Shao Zheng would agree so readily..."
"..."
As Asha Ruya explained and analyzed, Lü Cheng's expression gradually became strange.
WTF?
How come his family background is getting more and more outrageous?
The father is a judge of the Holy City, the mother is a heretical mage and a victim of space-related disasters, and now an uncle has appeared, a top-level forbidden spell mage.
Moreover, Su Lu, Boss Su, is the strongest BOSS among humans.
If he hadn't gotten involved with the demons and had just relied on his talent to develop normally... wouldn't he be able to conquer the world with Boss Su?
He was truly born to be a villain!
……
Under the illumination of the Sun Magic Tool, Lü Cheng and his group passed through the Land of the Dead without any trouble and arrived at Yangyang Village, an ancient village that had mysteriously survived unscathed in the Land of the Dead.
"What's going on here?" Mo Fan looked at the abandoned and messy pile of wood at the bottom of the hillside with a puzzled expression.
"Are you playing us?" the bearded follower said angrily.
"I don't know what happened!" the short man said in a panic.
He was guiding the councilor this time, how could he dare to pull any tricks!
Seeing the disappearance of Yangyang Village, the burly man beside him ran frantically down the hillside.
"It must have been attacked by undead. Are there any other villages nearby?" Lu Cheng asked.
“Yes, but it’s a bit far,” the short man said.
"The nearest village, Huacun, is two days' journey away."
“Then let’s go. Even if the people here aren’t dead, they should have already migrated. There’s no point in staying here,” Lu Cheng said.
Upon hearing this, the short man went to comfort the strong man, and the group resumed their journey to Huacun.
As the journey continued, the group began to chat.
Lu Cheng and Asha Ruya were very close, exchanging glances the whole way. Although they didn't say anything, everyone probably guessed that the two were whispering to each other using telepathy, and no one dared to interrupt.
Liu Xian and Liu Ru followed quietly about two meters behind Lü Cheng, holding hands, seemingly without the slightest displeasure at Lü Cheng's behavior.
Others, including the short man, expressed their envy.
He can flirt with new girls even while dating two beautiful sisters; no wonder he's a politician!
“However, although Su Lu is your uncle, I personally suggest that you stay away from him for now,” Asha Ruya said.
Consider this my advice: this person is dangerous.
Su Lu had close ties with the previous goddess of the Parthenon, Yi Zhi Sha, and Su Lu's interest group was even one of Yi Zhi Sha's supporters. She was also unsure whether Su Lu had been involved in that incident back then.
Because the relationships between these forces are very complicated, the Holy City is full of Yi Zhi Sha's henchmen, and Su Lu's relationship with the Holy City can only be described as average, or even as mutual dislike. She is not sure if this is an act, after all, the Holy City has indeed become more and more domineering in the last hundred years. Many local magic associations have already harbored resentment towards the Holy City, but they have not shown it too obviously because of the Holy City's powerful military force.
However, world-class organizations like the Asian Magic Association don't need to be so subservient to the Holy City.
"I understand." Lü Cheng nodded.
"Now that you've said so much, shouldn't you give me a price?"
Many of the things Asha Ruya revealed were actually world-class secrets. Even Song Qiming and Pang Lai were unwilling to talk much about his parents' affairs, let alone his uncle.
Lingling had tried to investigate privately before, but couldn't find any relevant information.
At most, they only managed to glean a little information about his mother from Old Man Bao; nothing else.
“Price…” Asha Riya paused.
If it weren't for her adoptive father Wen Tai's situation, Lü Cheng could have had the most privileged and noble birth in the world. However, because of what happened back then, too many people were killed, and Lü Cheng was abandoned by his parents in a small, forgotten place, growing up alone.
There were some things she couldn't say. Even if Lü Cheng's parents were still alive, they couldn't possibly show themselves, because the Holy City wouldn't act rashly if their fate was unknown and their whereabouts were uncertain.
It's not that the Holy City lacks the power to deal with Lü Cheng's parents, but rather that they are worried that Su Meng will go mad!
Because Su Meng's destructive power was truly terrifying, she was a victim who had fully matured.
The archangel has the ability to kill Su Meng, but cannot stop the disaster she brings. This is the true terror of the space-type disaster victims!
Killing Su Meng will not only fail to eliminate the spatial storm she caused, but will also cause it to become even more frenzied because the source of her power has been deprived of control!
Back then, after Su Meng caused the riot, she, a severely injured super-level mage, was able to escape from the Holy City, a place full of forbidden spells, with the half-dead Lü Chengze. This was all because of her ultimate move. At that time, Su Meng was only severely injured, but the power of the spatial storm increased several times. If she had died, that thing would probably have really gone completely out of control.
For this reason, the Holy City didn't even stop her at the time.
After all, she did not directly rebel against the Holy City; she was merely trying to save people.
If the archangels didn't intervene, the holy judges below certainly wouldn't either.
However, after Su Meng insisted on leaving the Holy City, she was no longer the Holy City's heretical mage.
She was just a victim, a heretic.
As for that state legislator Su Lu, she didn't think that person would have much blood ties with Lü Cheng.
Or rather, only if Lü Cheng demonstrates sufficient value, such as his extraordinary talent, will that senator pay attention to his long-unseen, veiled nephew.
However, Lü Cheng was no pushover either; she was somewhat looking forward to seeing how the relationship between the two would develop in the future.
Are they joining forces? Or are they plotting against each other?
She was still unsure of Lü Cheng's attitude, but Su Lu had already begun scheming against her nephew.
Right now, the magic association in this country is probably in complete chaos...

"Consider this intelligence a small gift as a token of our acquaintance," Asha'ruya said.
"If you need intelligence in the future, you can contact me. I can offer you a better deal."
"A gift?" Lu Cheng nodded and took out the Dark Dragon's egg.
"Then I'll give you a little gift too."
"What is this?" Asharuya asked in confusion.
An incredibly dense aura of darkness!
“Dark Dragon, the egg of a sub-dragon with dark attributes,” Lu Cheng said.
“Darkness… A dragon?” Asha Ruya was taken aback.
Where did you come from?
Dark-attribute dragons are just as rare as human space-type forbidden spellcasters!
"You don't need to ask that." Lü Cheng handed the dragon egg to Asha'ruya.
Would you be willing to accept this gift?
"Are you sure you want to give such an expensive gift?" Asha Ruya asked with a smile.
"I have to remind you, this thing, if taken to Europe, would be worth at least two billion in international resources!"
Things are rare and valuable!
Dark-attribute dragons are not only powerful, mysterious, and rare, but also a symbol of status for European nobles!
