CHAPTER 1117: CHAPTER 1110: ALL SIDES GATHER

"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing. You’re both half a foot in the grave, yet you still won’t change your ways. Don’t forget why we’re here today."

Bai Qiao Mountain interrupted the two men’s quarrel and turned his gaze to the Old Master of Lu Family: "Lu Tiankuang, we meet again."

Hearing Bai Qiao Mountain’s words, the Old Master of Lu Family slowly opened his eyes: "In-law, welcome to the Lu Family."

"Welcome, my ass. Don’t give me that crap. My grandson-in-law came to the Lu Family, and you said nothing while letting these little punks insult him. Are you trying to give him a show of strength?"

"Exactly, Lu Tiankuang, if you don’t give us a reasonable explanation today, don’t blame us for flattening the Lu Family."

The old men behind Bai Qiao Mountain puffed their beards and glared, then looked at Bai Zhiqing and Lu Tianxing, saying: "Grandson-in-law, Zhiqing, don’t be afraid. Today, we old men have your back. Anyone who dares to show you attitude, we’ll send a few missiles and flatten this place once we get back."

Lu Hongda and Lu Gaoyang were speechless at this moment. Despite their decrepit appearance, they knew that if they dared to lay a hand on these elders, the Lu Family might be destroyed overnight. They never expected Lu Tianxing to have such strong support.

However, Lu Bowen’s face showed a smile. He was worried about how things would end if Lu Tianxing continued his antics. Now, it seems he overthought it. Lu Tianxing is more ruthless than Lu Tianzhan, but also knows how to leave himself a way out. With these elders present, anyone who plans to touch Lu Tianxing would have to think twice.

Bai Qiao Mountain’s eyes coldly scanned the surroundings and finally settled on the Old Master of Lu Family: "Lu Tiankuang, let’s not beat around the bush. I don’t think you like that either. Let’s cut to the chase, does my grandson-in-law get to take his parents’ tablets with him? Just answer me that one question."

"Agree? Why wouldn’t I agree? He’s originally a member of the Lu Family. Why would I refuse him his rights to his parents’ tablets?"

The Old Master of Lu Family glanced around, taking in everyone’s reactions: "From now on, Lu Tianxing is part of the third generation of the Lu Family, and will be added to the family genealogy."

Everyone in the Lu Family was stunned when they heard the Old Master’s words, and then a hint of panic appeared on their faces. No one expected the Old Master to readily agree to Lu Tianxing’s return to the family.

Moreover, despite Lu Tianxing attacking Lu Gaoyang and Lu Hongda, the Old Master wasn’t angry, nor did he scold him. Instead, he looked at Lu Tianxing with a smile, clearly appreciative of his actions. Could the Old Master be planning a cleanup?

Thinking of this, some with ill intentions felt a chill run down their spine.

"Dad..."

"Alright, this matter is settled. Anyone who has objections, can just leave the Lu Family. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, Tianxing is a Lu family descendant. If anyone dares plot against him, don’t blame me for being harsh. If anyone disagrees with my decision, leave the Lu Family and establish your own."

Hearing the Old Master’s domineering words left everyone stunned. No one expected the Old Master to value Lu Tianxing so much.

Lu Tianxing’s mouth curled into a smile, and Bai Zhiqing was equally excited. She had thought that Lu Tianxing’s previous actions had thoroughly angered the Old Master, but to her surprise, he actually protected Lu Tianxing so fiercely.

Just then, a noise of chaotic footsteps came from outside.

Upon hearing the footsteps, everyone immediately looked towards the main hall’s entrance. Soon, an old man being pushed in a wheelchair came into view, followed by several Martial Artists, all looking aggressive.

"So lively here, seems like I came at the right time."

The old man in the wheelchair had a faint smile on his face the whole time, and as his gaze swept the room, it finally landed on Lu Tianxing: "So alike, just so alike, Lu Tianzhan’s son, Lu Tianxing, hahaha, it seems heaven hasn’t forsaken me."

Though this old man was observing Lu Tianxing, his tone seemed nonchalant, yet there was an undercurrent of gritted teeth and intense hatred.

Seeing this old man caused everyone’s faces in the Lu Family to darken instantly. Although the Old Master’s expression was unchanged, his mood clearly soured.

"Zhao Wuji, what brings you to the Lu Family?" Lu Bowen asked with a very unpleasant expression.

The old man’s name was Zhao Wuji, head of the Zhao Family from Jiangnan, known for being cruel. Back in the day, the Zhao Family was notorious in Jiangnan and even coerced women in Suzhou. But after encountering Lu Tianzhan, Zhao Wuji was forced to apologize on his knees and cripple himself to survive.

Now, over twenty years later, Zhao Wuji’s reappearance at the Lu Family suggests he’s here with hostile intentions.

"Of course I’ve come to address the matters of the past."

Another voice came from outside, and a man in his thirties entered. He was followed by six or seven Martial Artists, all of whom exuded a bloody aura, indicating they’ve had their share of bloodshed.

As this middle-aged man walked in, he was trailed by five or six others, each exuding a commanding presence, clearly from years of holding high positions.

"The grandson of the Sun Family, Wei Family, Xu Family, Zhu Family, Pang Family, you’ve all come? Good, very good indeed."

The Old Master’s expression turned somewhat grim. Those with hostile intentions came, and those with benign intentions did not. Due to incidents related to Lu Tianzhan, numerous families from Jiangnan and Beijing had grievances. It’s no coincidence they all decided to visit the Lu Family at this exact time.

"Old Master Lu, I didn’t want to come either, but today, we’re here for an explanation from the Lu Family," said the middle-aged man Sun Qian, bowing slightly to the Old Master Lu.

"An explanation? What kind of explanation do you want?" the Old Master said coldly.

"Of course a reasonable one, Lu Tiankuang. Back then, you told us Lu Tianzhan was dead, so all his misdeeds were wiped clean. We had no issue with that, as they say, ’let bygones be bygones.’ We didn’t want to pursue it further. But now that Lu Tianzhan has a son, we can’t just leave it be."

The elder named Zhao Wuji coldly explained: "In the past, in Beijing, my youngest son happened to pass by that hotel and wasn’t involved in Jiang Hongyan’s kidnapping. Yet, Lu Tianzhan crippled my son, making him a eunuch who ultimately died in despair. As they say, the father’s debts are passed to the son. The Lu Family must give us a reasonable explanation for this matter."
