"Hehe, sister-in-law, you don’t understand. For a man, keeping the family flag flying high while colorful flags wave outside doesn’t an doing anything with those won outside. It’s simply like you admiring beautiful won on the street, just purely appreciating them without taking any real action."
Hearing the disdain from those around, the Starving Ghost showed no embarrassnt at all. Instead, he explained to Xue Bing and then said to Avril, "Great Holy Daughter of the Church, my sister-in-law says it’s okay for , but it seems you don’t really have any right to say anything about , do you? Scum, it seems your church isn’t much better than . You tend to sentence people to the stake abruptly, whoever displeases you gets sent to the stake, whoever doesn’t worship you is called a heretic. Under the guise of purging heretics, you do disgusting things openly. I think your church is the biggest scum, a hypocrite’s church."
"You’re talking bullshit."
After hearing the Starving Ghost’s words, Avril couldn’t help but curse.
"Hehe, I’m talking bullshit?"
The Starving Ghost said calmly, "Don’t think I don’t know about the disgusting things your church does. Those bishops of your church look so glamorous on the surface, but secretly, who knows how many dirty deeds they have done, how many priests deceive respectable won under the guise of praying for them. I think you, as the Holy Daughter of the Church, should know this better than I do! As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beams will go crooked too. When the lower beams are already crooked, how good can you upper beams be? Great Holy Daughter of the Church, before you call others disgusting, you better check whether your own ass is clean."
"You..."
Hearing the Starving Ghost’s words, Avril’s face turned bright red, completely out of anger. Due to the eruption of anger, her chest was heaving up and down violently, and there was almost fire in her eyes as she looked at the Starving Ghost. However, Avril couldn’t say a word or even muster a rebuttal against the Starving Ghost’s comnts.
After all, there’s a saying, "The clearer the water, the fewer the fish." In any place where there is light, there is also darkness. No power can achieve absolute purity; there will always be a few black sheep.
"Great Holy Daughter of the Church, you are speechless, right? That’s why, when it cos to scum and degenerates, your church isn’t any better. We’re just about the sa, so you have no right to mock . If it weren’t for the fact that you’re still useful, do you think you could still sit there comfortably?" the Starving Ghost mocked again.
After listening to the Starving Ghost’s words, Avril’s fists clenched tightly, her pretty face turning pale, and her breathing becoming increasingly rapid. It was clear how furious she was inside at this mont.
Seeing this scene, Xue Bing took a deep breath and said, "Starving Ghost, enough, don’t say any more."
The Starving Ghost cast a disdainful glance at Avril, then gave Xue Bing a sly smile and said, "Sister-in-law, since you spoke up, I’ll definitely listen to you. I’ve said everything I have to say and won’t say anything more."
Before he finished speaking, the Starving Ghost opened his mouth again, "By the way, sister-in-law, anyway, for us, at most it’s just so superficial wounds, it’s no big deal. Why don’t you leave first, and I’ll just wait here for Fu Tu and the others to co out."
"But, you guys..."
Xue Bing opened her mouth, just about to say sothing, when the Starving Ghost interrupted her again, "Sister-in-law, don’t worry! It’s nothing, these small wounds for us are just everyday trivia, nothing major."
Hearing the Starving Ghost’s words, Lu Tianxing spoke at this ti, "Alright then! Starving Ghost, I’ll leave Fu Tu and the others to you. After you treat your wounds, call this person directly. They’ll send soone to pick you up, and you can just follow them to the Yanhuang Group. Sima Lingyun will take care of your status."
As he spoke, Lu Tianxing took a card with a phone number written on it from his pocket and handed it to the Starving Ghost. This was a card they obtained from Sima Lingyun when the Starving Ghost and others were in the operating room and he called Sima Lingyun.
The Starving Ghost didn’t stand on ceremony, took the card, and put it in his pocket, saying, "Boss, no problem, we’ll go over later."
"Alright then, we’ll leave first."
Lu Tianxing nodded at the Starving Ghost without saying anything further. He had killed many on the Great Wall, and his body was drenched in blood. Although he had long been accustod to it, it still made him sowhat uncomfortable. It would be better to wash off the blood first. Besides, with Sima Lingyun’s guarantee, there’s no need to worry about the safety of the Starving Ghost and the others.
Marriott Hotel!
At this ti, Lu Haoyue had already left the Great Wall and returned to the presidential suite at the Marriott Hotel. Sitting on the sofa, he held a cigarette in his hand, his face displaying a complex expression.
Lu Chuan, who had always followed Lu Haoyue, sighed faintly upon witnessing this scene. Although he wasn’t privy to the innermost thoughts of Lu Haoyue, he could guess how he felt. Once upon a ti, Lu Haoyue was the prodigious genius of the Lu Family, admired by countless people. But ever since Lu Tianxing returned to the Lu Family, the brilliance of Lu Haoyue’s genius faded under the radiance of Lu Tianxing. This would be hard for anyone to accept, even if Lu Haoyue now internally acknowledged that Lu Tianxing was stronger, it still left a bitter taste.
Lu Haoyue raised his hand, putting the cigarette in his mouth, and took a deep drag. Blowing out a smoke ring, he looked at Lu Chuan with a complicated expression and softly asked, "Housekeeper Lu, do you think I really can’t compare to my cousin?"
Slightly taken aback by Lu Haoyue’s words, Lu Chuan was montarily stunned, then shook his head and said, "Family Head, don’t belittle yourself. Although your strength may not match the Third Young Master, in other aspects, you are not necessarily inferior. Otherwise, why else would the Old Master have chosen you to beco the Head of the Lu Family?"
Lu Haoyue shook his head bitterly and said, "Housekeeper Lu, you don’t have to comfort . I know myself better than anyone. If I hadn’t been in the Lu Family all this ti, grandfather might not have handed over the position of Family Head to . Compared to my cousin’s talents, my strength is simply vulnerable. You know, sotis I even wonder, if I handed the position of Family Head over to my cousin, how would the Lu Family fare? Would it be stronger than it is now?"
"Family Head, you..."
Upon hearing Lu Haoyue’s words, Lu Chuan’s expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly spoke but was interrupted by Lu Haoyue before he could finish: "Housekeeper Lu, rest assured, I an nothing by it. I’m rely saying it. I’m happy that my cousin is stronger than , how could I be jealous because of his strength? If I were truly that kind of person, I would’ve stopped him as soon as he entered the Lu Family. Moreover, I wouldn’t have co to Beijing to help him."
"I said these words just to express so sentints. I once thought my cousin’s strength surpassed mine simply because he inherited Uncle Tianzhan’s talent. But today, I understand that my cousin’s strength cos entirely from countless life-and-death crises. If it were , I wouldn’t have the courage to face such dangers."
"Family Head, if the Old Sir hears your words, he will surely be delighted," Lu Chuan said slowly.
"Yes, grandfather would surely be very happy because he doesn’t want to see my cousin and at odds. He doesn’t want to walk down the sa path as my uncle."
ntioning his uncle, Lu Hongda, Lu Haoyue sighed deeply again and shook his head slightly, saying no more. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Old Master Lu’s number. The matters in Beijing were over, and he should call back to report his safety.
anwhile, at the Beijing Yang Family, the important figures of the Yang Family had gathered together.
The bright sunlight streaming into the room provided excellent lighting, creating a warm feeling on one’s face. Yet, despite this, everyone, including Yang Anlong, felt a chilling sensation penetrating deep into their souls, causing goosebumps to rise all over their bodies.
This eerie atmosphere had persisted ever since Yang Anlong returned to the Yang Family and summoned all its mbers. No one dared speak a word.
Yang Family Patriarch Yang Anlong also remained silent, yet the chilling aura emanating from him made everyone’s hair stand on end, as if a venomous snake was poised to strike at any mont.
Yang Fengxing, sitting at the head of the Yang Family, coldly scanned the assembled mbers and slowly spoke, "You’ve all heard the news Anlong just shared with you! Now, what are your thoughts?"
"Ancestor, it seems we can’t be patient any longer. If we wait any longer, the Yang Family might collapse. We must eliminate Lu Tianxing completely," a mber of the Yang Family broke the silence first.
As soon as he finished speaking, a refined-looking but sinister middle-aged man, Yang Chai, also spoke, "Ancestor, Yang Ziwu is right. We’ve conspired against the Lu Family multiple tis, which has created a deep-seated enmity with Lu Tianxing. Moreover, Lu Tianzhan’s death was at the hands of our Yang Family. One could say there is an unending blood feud between us now. And as the eldest brother just ntioned, Lu Tianxing can single-handedly confront six middle-stage mythical superpower users and not be defeated, and he can kill them. This shows his strength. Furthermore, he is the grandson of Beiqiang Jiang Liufeng. If we allow him to continue growing, he will definitely beco a significant threat to our Yang Family."
