Watching Lu Chuan leave, all the faces in the Lu Family’s main hall remained expressionless, but their eyes flickered slightly, concealing their thoughts.
Old Master Lu observed everyone’s expressions with a cold smile in his heart but said nothing, continuing to rest with his eyes closed.
After Lu Chuan departed from the hall, he quickly found Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing: "Young Master Tianxing, Young Madam, the Old Sir has been waiting in the hall for so ti."
Lu Tianxing nodded: "Wife, we’ve enjoyed the scenery enough, let’s go et my so-called grandfather and observe the talents of the Lu Family."
Without further words, Lu Chuan made a gesture of invitation and led Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing towards the hall.
In Lu Chuan’s guidance, Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing passed through the winding corridors and soon arrived at the entrance of the hall. Lu Chuan stood at the door, gestured for invitation, but remained at the entrance, not entering.
Without any hesitation, Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing imdiately walked into the hall.
The hall had at least thirty to forty people, only seven or eight were seated, while the others stood respectfully. Despite the crowd, the atmosphere was terribly oppressive, as if the air was about to solidify and drip.
"Swish!"
When Lu Tianxing held Bai Zhiqing’s hand and entered the hall, dozens of eyes stared straight at him, almost as if they wanted to see through him entirely. So powerful individuals, with their gaze alone, could kill. Though it was only a brief glance, it felt like knives sweeping over.
Bai Zhiqing’s face suddenly turned pale, feeling an invisible pressure bearing down, giving her the urge to kneel.
"Bang!"
Seeing Bai Zhiqing’s pale face, Lu Tianxing’s expression turned cold, his foot stomped heavily on the ground, and a circle of invisible airwaves shattered all the pressure brought by those gazes.
"Humph."
At that very instant, a cold snort echoed in the hall, and a pressure akin to a mountain erupted, pressing down on Lu Tianxing.
Simultaneously, a cold voice echoed: "Is this Tianzhan’s son? No manners whatsoever, so many uncles around, yet resorting to True Qi. Is he trying to intimidate us or planning to give us a warning?"
"Bang!"
Lu Tianxing’s feet stomped again, a divine step crashing down, a surge of True Qi burst forth, shattering the oppressive aura, his eyes sharp as lightning, coldly resting on the owner of the aura: "I’ve heard a saying, ’shaless people are invincible.’ Originally, I thought it was just talk, but after seeing you today, I realize so people truly are shaless. As elders, yet raising a hand against a junior, it’s truly sothing. You should feel lucky; this is the Lu Family, or else, I wouldn’t mind killing you."
"Presumptuous."
The man being taunted was a middle-aged man, who stood up from his seat, looking at Lu Tianxing with a grim face: "You are too presumptuous, do you even know who I am."
"I don’t need to know who you are, I just need to know, if you dare to intimidate my wife again, I’ll send you on your way. A re Early-stage Mythical Peak, killing you is as easy as slaughtering a dog."
Lu Tianxing was equally defiant, having co to the Lu Family to investigate his lineage. If the Lu Family doesn’t accept him, he’ll leave with his parents’ morial tablets, rather than compromising.
"Enough."
Another chilly voice sounded, coming from Lu Hongda, sitting beside Old Master Lu, exuding a strong aura of authority: "Gao Yang, as an elder, you should behave as one. Quarreling with younger generations, what does it look like? You also know Tianzhan died early, this child grew up in an orphanage, it’s natural he hasn’t learned manners."
"Hongda, you’re right, I was too concerned." A cold smile flashed across Lu Gaoyang’s face, nodding tily.
Listening to their back-and-forth, Lu Tianxing’s expression turned sour. Lu Hongda seed to speak up for him but was actually insinuating that he was uneducated and lacked parents.
Lu Tianxing was burning up inside, gazed at Lu Hongda, and said indifferently: "Who are you?"
"Lu Hongda."
"Lu Hongda?"
Lu Tianxing tilted his head: "From what I know, you aren’t the Head of the Lu Family, right!"
"No."
Lu Hongda looked at Lu Tianxing, frowned, and said: "Why are you asking?"
"No reason."
Lu Tianxing waved his hand, his voice abruptly raised several degrees: "Since you’re not the head of the Lu Family, then shut up, what are you to , to boss around? I lack manners? I think you’re the one lacking manners, to sneer at your nephew. Do you have manners? You’re trash."
Old Master Lu seed not to hear the commotion in the hall, sitting still with his eyes closed, allowing Lu Tianxing and Lu Hongda to confront each other.
"Lu Tianxing, you seem tired of living."
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Lu Hongda was infuriated, his eyes turned venomous like a snake, staring murderously at Lu Tianxing but dared not act because Old Master Lu hadn’t spoken.
Lu Tianxing paid no attention to Lu Hongda’s murderous gaze. If he dared act, though he couldn’t kill Lu Hongda, crippling him was entirely possible.
At this mont, a voice of praise sounded in the hall: "Not bad, not bad, indeed the son of Lao San, very good, a strong spirit, not embarrassing Lao San."
Lu Tianxing’s gaze imdiately fell on the speaker.
The speaker was a middle-aged man, exuding an elegant and gentle aura, with a bright smile that felt extrely comfortable. His well-fitted suit made him appear very classy, a sought-after mature gentleman to many won.
This man was Lu Haoyue’s father, Lu Bowen, the brother of Lu Tianzhan.
Hearing Lu Bowen’s words, Lu Hongda and Lu Gaoyang’s faces imdiately turned sour. It was clear Lu Bowen was siding against them.
"Old Second, aren’t you concluding too early? Isn’t it yet confird whether he is Lao San’s son!" Lu Hongda’s tone was a bit icy.
"Old First, does it need confirmation?"
Lu Bowen glanced at Lu Hongda, then smiled at a woman beside him, who was in her forties and radiated elegance, "Shu Wen, do you think he is Lao San’s son?"
