He was stunned by the change, and his eyes became even stranger.
He looked at Wu Tian and Lei Qianjiao, then subconsciously said, "What did you two do down there?"
Both of them froze, and then their cheeks blushed slightly.
Wu Tian coughed awkwardly, while Lei Qianjiao turned her head away, not knowing how to respond.
But Lei Wanjun was clearly not angry; instead, he burst into laughter.
He patted Wu Tian on the shoulder and said, "Good, good!"
"Why don't you live here from now on? Treat this place like your own home. I think that would be great!"
In fact, given Wu Tian's current status, this Lei Mansion was truly his property.
Regardless of whether Wu Tian thought about it or not, this place was no different from his own home.
But Lei Wanjun was too happy and had forgotten Wu Tian's identity for a moment.
Seeing how familiar they were, he completely regarded Wu Tian as his future son-in-law.
Wu Tian felt even more embarrassed and couldn't help but cast a pleading look at Lei Qianjiao.
Lei Qianjiao's face also turned red, and she quickly tugged on Lei Wanjun's arm, saying,
"Oh, Dad, what are you talking about? Stop it."
The others hadn't reacted at first.
But seeing this, they all understood and showed knowing smiles.
Lei Qianjiao, as the only daughter of the Lei family, had always been a cherished pearl.
Although countless talented and wealthy young men had come to propose marriage over the years,
besides Lei Qianjiao herself not being interested, the high-ranking officials of the Lei family also did not want to marry her off.
So, whenever someone came to propose, they would generally not give them a good reception.
But at this moment, facing Wu Tian, they liked him more and more.
Clearly, they were very satisfied with Wu Tian.
However, Lei Wanjun also understood that such matters could not be rushed.
Therefore, he didn't say anything more and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more."
"Matters between young people should be left to you to handle yourselves!"
"But if there's nothing else, then you should stay here for a few more days."
"Consider it a good rest. What do you think?"
Wu Tian had run out precisely because he didn't want to be too comfortable. Hearing Lei Wanjun say this, he naturally didn't want to agree.
But seeing Lei Qianjiao's expectant look, he had no choice but to stay at the Lei family.
The two stayed at the Lei family for three days, and during this time, Wu Tian slept in the same room with Lei Qianjiao.
Since they were sleeping in the same bed, it was inevitable that there would be some intimacy.
Although Wu Tian felt that Lei Qianjiao's needs were a bit too frequent,
he had to admit that it was quite comfortable.
On the fourth day, the Sacred Thunder Sect sent someone with a message.
It stated that there was an important matter that Wu Tian needed to return and handle.
Although the messenger did not explicitly state the matter, Wu Tian and Lei Qianjiao rushed back immediately.
Upon returning to the Sacred Thunder Sect, Wu Tian found everyone gathered in the plaza.
After they landed, Lei Zhengxuan walked out and said with a smile, "Sect Master, you're back."
As he spoke, he noticed something was amiss and looked at Lei Qianjiao in surprise, saying,
"Qianjiao, you've broken through to Golden Immortal?"
Lei Qianjiao smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right. I went home and received the inheritance. I am now a second-turn Golden Immortal."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped and became envious.
This was a second-turn Golden Immortal. If they relied solely on cultivation, who knew how long it would take.
But now Lei Qianjiao had also gained such benefits. How could this not make people envious?
Although Lei Zhengxuan did not know what the inheritance was, he still laughed heartily, "This is truly wonderful."
"Now that our Sacred Thunder Sect has another Golden Immortal, this is a great event for us!"
"However..."
His gaze was also exceptionally sharp, and he immediately noticed the unusual relationship between Wu Tian and Lei Qianjiao.
He continued, "In the few days you were away, it seems the relationship between the Sect Master and the Saintess... has developed rather quickly."
Wu Tian and Lei Qianjiao were both stunned, and then Wu Tian couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Why were all these elders so sharp?
In front of these people, it was as if they couldn't keep any secrets.
Were all these old seniors super experts in this regard?
This statement was already quite direct, as the disciples of the Sacred Thunder Sect were also greatly surprised.
Many of their hearts shattered into pieces, feeling utterly disheartened...
After all, Lei Qianjiao, as the Saintess of the Sacred Thunder Sect, had always been a dazzling goddess.
Countless disciples in the sect regarded Lei Qianjiao as their dream lover.
But now that Lei Qianjiao was involved with Wu Tian, it was truly unexpected.
However, on second thought, these two seemed to be a perfect match.
One was a five-turn Golden Immortal at such a young age, the successor of the Thunder God, and the youngest Sect Master in the history of the Sacred Thunder Sect.
The other was peerlessly beautiful, like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world.
Therefore, they had to sincerely admire that Lei Qianjiao had fallen into Wu Tian's hands.
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, Wu Tian felt uncomfortable everywhere.
At this moment, he had to exert his authority as Sect Master. Therefore, he adjusted his expression and pretended to be serious, saying,
"Alright, Sect Master Lei, there's no need for jokes. Let's talk about the important matters first."
"I heard that you called me back because there's something important. May I ask what it is?"
Seeing Wu Tian steer the conversation back, Lei Zhengxuan also composed himself.
But he seemed somewhat hesitant to speak, so he did not answer immediately.
This behavior made Wu Tian even more confused.
He continued to ask, "Sect Master Lei? What's wrong?"
"Did something major happen in the sect?"
After hesitating, Lei Zhengxuan sighed and said softly, "The Great Elder has returned."
"The Great Elder?" Wu Tian was bewildered.
He knew that the Great Elder had been out handling affairs, and had not returned even when he took over as Sect Master.
But if the Great Elder returned, so be it. Could that be considered a major event?
As if sensing Wu Tian's confusion, Lei Zhengxuan said again,
"According to the sect's rules, the new Sect Master must receive the approval of the Great Elder."
"And after hearing about your succession, the Great Elder seems to have some reservations, so..."
Wu Tian was not a fool. After hearing this much, he didn't need to hear the rest.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and his eyebrows twitched twice. Then he said with a smile,
"So, today I still have to curry favor with him, right?"
