Chapter 169: Chapter 101: Lu Family Ancestor, The One with Great Destiny! (Reset)_2
“Lu Changsheng, for failing to guard his Pet Beast properly, which bit Lu Miaoyang, a disciple of the Lu Family, and for engaging in further strife with him, is fined three hundred Spirit Stones and sent to labor in servitude for three years,”
“However, considering that he did not instigate the trouble and that he must continue to manage the family’s business and draw Talismans, the three years of hard labor will be converted to the forfeiture of three years’ salary!”
“Do you all accept this?”
Lu Yuanding spoke with an authoritative voice.
“Family Head, I am not satisfied!”
“My parents shed blood for the family, made meritorious contributions, and ultimately sacrificed their lives for the family, yet now you are unfairly siding with Lu Changsheng, favoring an outsider!”
However, as soon as the sentence was pronounced, Lu Miaoyang immediately shouted out.
“Lu Miaoyang!”
Lu Yuanding and the Fourth Elder in unison coldly shouted.
Now that Lu Changsheng was standing right here, Lu Miaoyang had the audacity to yell out such words.
Treating Lu Changsheng as an outsider.
You should know that Lu Changsheng was not only the son-in-law of the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain but also a high-grade Talisman Master!
“I am not satisfied, I cannot accept this! This Lu Changsheng is nothing but a redundant son-in-law of our family; if it had not been for our Lu Family taking him in, where would he be today!”
“Now he has beaten me to this state, nearly killed me, and the family actually sides with him, aiding an outsider to bully one of their own!”
“Ancestor, I want to see the Ancestor! Waaaaah, if the Ancestor knew you were helping an outsider bully your own people!”
Lu Miaoyang, turning a deaf ear to the scolding, continued to cry out loudly.
“Lu Miaoyang, Miaoyang.”
Seeing this situation, several family elders attempted to drag him away.
But Lu Miaoyang clung tightly to two memorial tablets, making it difficult for the elders to forcibly remove him.
Lu Changsheng watched this scene speechless.
Thinking to himself that the Lu Family had quite a temper.
Being able to tolerate Lu Miaoyang making such a scene.
If someone like that were in his own family, he’d have been slapped away by now.
“No, I won’t go, you are all biased, favoring an outsider and bullying me!”
“Father, Mother, why did you leave me all alone? Waaaaah, I want to see the Ancestor, let the Ancestor judge!”
Lu Miaoyang continued crying and shouting as he was dragged away.
However.
Just at that moment, suddenly.
“Scoundrel!”
An old and resonant voice, like the sound of a great bell, echoed out of nowhere.
Immediately after.
It was seen that Lu Miaoyang’s entire body was sent flying backwards with a crash.
The two memorial tablets in his hands, however, floated down gently and settled securely amongst the rows of memorial tablets positioned above in the ancestral hall.
“Ancestor! The Ancestor!”
“Greetings to the Ancestor!”
“Greetings to the Ancestor!”
Hearing this voice, everyone in the ancestral hall, Lu Yuanding, the Fourth Elder, and all the present family elders bowed and saluted in unison.
“The Lu Family Ancestor!”
Lu Changsheng, upon hearing this, could not help but feel a sudden shock in his heart.
He turned his head to look.
And saw an imposing old man, clad in a Qingzhu Mountain robe, with white hair and a youthful complexion, walking towards him.
He quickly bowed in respect.
This was his first time seeing the esteemed Lu Family Ancestor.
Even when he married Lu Miaoyun, only the elders of the Lu Family came, and he did not see the Ancestor.
He never thought that such an incident would bring forth the Lu Family Ancestor himself.
“Scoundrel, is the ancestral hall a place for you to cause a ruckus!”
The Lu Family Ancestor scolded Lu Miaoyang, who was to the side, speaking directly.
“Ancestor, I…”
At this moment, facing the Lu Family Ancestor, Lu Miaoyang also became scared and dared not to continue his tantrum.
After all, the Lu Family Ancestor was the sky of the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain.
He dared to fuss and throw a tantrum, relying on the affection from the Lu Family Ancestor and the debts owed to his parents.
Now that the Ancestor had appeared, he did not dare to make a scene anymore.
“Yuan Long had such an illustrious life, how could he have a worthless child like you!”
“If not for Yuan Long’s sake, I would slap you to death,”
The Lu Family Ancestor said, expressing his disappointment.
“Now take this disgraceful fellow out of here.”
“Just as Yuan Ding proposed, let him reflect on his actions quietly at home, think it over well.”
“If he dares to cause trouble again, he will be harshly punished!”
The Lu Family Ancestor declared.
“Yes, Ancestor!”
Lu Yuanding immediately nodded respectfully.
“Yes, Ancestor!”
Two of the Lu Family elders immediately stepped forward and took Lu Miaoyang out of the ancestral hall.
“You are called Lu Changsheng, correct?”
At this point, the Lu Family Ancestor turned to Lu Changsheng and started speaking.
“Lu Changsheng greets the Ancestor.”
Lu Changsheng, facing the elder with a head of white hair, unsure of why he was suddenly the focus of attention, hastily bowed and saluted.
The Lu Family Ancestor’s face appeared calm, and there was no hint of formidable aura about him.
But standing before him gave one an unfathomable impression of depth and solidity.
He didn’t seem anything like what Yu Ningrong had described— that the Lu Family Ancestor had at most ten years left to live.
Moreover.
In front of this Lu Family Ancestor, he involuntarily felt as if a needle were at his back.
Feeling as if the elder could see right through him.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng was uncertain if the Jade Pendant that the colorful-dress lady had given him would be of any use.
His own cultivation level, spirit, and everything about him, might be discerned by the Ancestor.
Especially since the Lu Family Ancestor before him was a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.
“Such terror from a Foundation Establishment Ancestor!”
“If he notices something amiss, I wonder if I would have time to call for help.”
Lu Changsheng thought anxiously in his heart.
He dared confront and act against Lu Miaoyang within the Lu Family because he had gained a certain level of strength and confidence.
Feeling that it was unnecessary to continually concede, he thought it was time to show some firmness.
But he had not anticipated that his actions would provoke the appearance of the Lu Family Ancestor.
Facing the Ancestor, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat panicked.
After all, his confidence stemmed from the Second Rank Talismans and Second Rank Puppets.
But the power of a Second Rank Talisman was only equivalent to a casual strike from a Cultivator at the initial stages of Foundation Establishment.
