Chapter 930: Chapter 924 The Worship of the Mandala (2nd Update)

“So what happened next? How did it feel to cripple those spoiled young masters?” Mandala couldn’t help but ask.

“Of course, the families behind those aristocratic disciples weren’t willing to accept it. The very next night, they sent people to confront Lu Tianzhan, only to be killed by him entirely. Lu Tianzhan even single-handedly stormed into one of the families, slaughtered all their experts, transforming a once top first-class family into a third-rate family.”

“Wow, that’s so domineering. Wiping out an entire family at the drop of a hat, truly someone of our generation.”

Mandala exclaimed in admiration, her eyes sparkling. This is a real man, angered for the sake of a woman, doesn’t like you so he’ll kill you, so domineering.

After hearing Mandala’s words, Lin Yafei was instantly speechless. How had she not noticed the violent streak in Mandala? So violent.

“So what happened next?”

“It seems that Lu Tianzhan, destroying an entire family single-handedly, made those who sent experts to eradicate him wary. Because as long as Lu Tianzhan isn’t dead, he might enter the invincible Earthly Immortal realm one day. If Lu Tianzhan sought revenge later, no one could resist him. To eliminate future problems, these families allied with some Beijing families, pressuring the Lu Family to severely punish Lu Tianzhan, or become their enemies.”

“Did they succeed?”

“Halfway.”

Lin Yafei took a deep breath and said: “The alliance of families in Beijing gathered considerable power. These families demanded Lu Tianzhan atone with his death, but how could the Lu Family agree? Both sides were deadlocked for a while. It’s said they even clashed with the Beijing families, but it eventually ended with the Lu Family withdrawing all forces from Beijing and Lu Tianzhan publicly apologizing to the major families.”

“Did he apologize?”

“Yes!”

Lin Yafei glanced at Mandala, nodded, and said: “At that time, Lu Tianzhan’s wife, Jiang Hongyan, was pregnant. To protect his wife, Lu Tianzhan indeed went to apologize to each family.”

“Now that’s a real man.”

Mandala clenched her fists with longing in her eyes, wishing she could travel back to that era to see that extraordinary man.

Although Lu Tianzhan had to yield and apologize in the end, it wasn’t for himself but for his son and his wife. If that’s not a real man, what is?

“Indeed, that’s a real man, able to let go of his pride to prevent his wife from suffering. Unfortunately, Lu Tianzhan was too impulsive. If he hadn’t killed those spoiled young masters initially, but captured them instead, leveraging the Lu Family’s power, maybe today, half of Beijing would belong to the Lu Family, and they wouldn’t have had to withdraw.” Lin Yafei sighed and said.

“Sister Yafei, don’t you think Lu Tianzhan killing those young dilettantes shows his allure? It shows Jiang Hongyan didn’t choose wrong. If your wife were nearly insulted by scumbags and you chose to swallow your anger for family gain, that’s truly not a man. If I were Jiang Hongyan, I wouldn’t marry Lu Tianzhan because such a person always prioritizes family interest over his wife and loved ones.”

Mandala looked at Lin Yafei seriously and said: “If my brother, in the moment of your danger, thinks first about how to use you for more profit, would you fall in love with him?”

Upon hearing Mandala’s words, Lin Yafei fell silent. If, back when she was being hunted by the Wang Family, Lu Tianxing saved her but first thought about the consequences of offending the Wang Family, would she have fallen in love with him?

The answer might be no, and she certainly wouldn’t have loved Lu Tianxing as deeply as she does now. They would have become companions of convenience rather than lovers. She loves Lu Tianxing because he can protect her from the storm, right?

Lin Yafei’s mind was flooded with thoughts, and from the corner of her eyes, she caught Mandala’s teasing gaze, instantly snapping back to reality: “Alright, Manman, now you’ve learned some tricks, daring to dig a pit for me to fall into. Seems like I must teach you a lesson today.”

Speaking, Lin Yafei stood up, leapt at Mandala, pinning her down, her hands grabbing hold of Mandala’s “assets” as a woman.

“Ah!”

Feeling Lin Yafei’s actions, Mandala’s body trembled, a blush crept onto her pretty face, a sound escaping her lips.

“Hehe, Manman, you’re too innocent. Seems like you’re still a maiden. What kind of man do you like? Do you want Sister Yafei to introduce some to you? From handsome young fresh meat to mature seasoned vets, who do you fancy? Sister Yafei guarantees she’ll help you catch him.”

Lin Yafei looked at Mandala with a teasing smile.

“Sister Yafei, you’re such a rogue.”

Mandala’s face flushed crimson. In terms of being a rogue, she was no match for Lin Yafei, and soon felt as if all her strength was drained.

“Hehe, there’s even more roguish actions. Do you want to try?”

Lin Yafei laughed, extending her fingers like a bully, teasingly lifting Mandala’s chin: “Little sister, you’ve brought yourself to me tonight. Should I eat you up?”

Lin Yafei smiled, like a big bad wolf eyeing a little white rabbit.

…

While Lin Yafei teased Mandala, in a secluded manor in Jiangnan, in the study.

An old man sat in the Taishi Chair, with white hair and youthful features, his white beard flowing down, giving not an old but an immortal-like feel. Sitting upright on the chair, his spirit was lively, and in those seemingly cloudy eyes flickered a daunting golden gleam. His traditional costume fit him as if tailor-made, exuding an aura of authority.

This man was none other than the Old Master of the Lu Family, also the Family Head.

At this moment, his face bore a hint of undisguisable joy, lips quivering slightly, his beard trembling lightly, as if he’d heard good news.

As time passed, the Old Master of the Lu Family slowly stood up from the Taishi Chair, hands behind his back, walking to the other side of the desk, his gaze landing on a large photo on the wall.

The man in the photo wore a smartly tailored suit, with a smile at the corners of his mouth, looking both handsome and confident.
