The current head of the Lu family, Lu Yu, has been very irritable recently, and even a little angry.

As the head of the Lu family, one of the three major families in Purple Maple City, there are not many things that can make Lu Yu anxious.

What bothers him the most is nothing more than business matters.

Among the three major families, the Lu family's family background can be said to be the thickest one, and it is also the one with the longest foothold in Purple Maple City.

But now, they can't overpower the other two.

Among them, the merchant is regarded as a nouveau riche, although the background is far inferior to the other two, but the rise is very fast, and there is an alchemy genius in the family, who is valued by the big man of the Shangyu Danta, in the high-grade pills, they can't compare to the merchants, so they admit it, and the two families themselves have no grudges at all.

However, the Jing family is different, although it is younger than the Lu family, but it has also been based in this Purple Maple City for a long time, and it can maintain stability when it is three-legged, and almost all sides of the world will fight to the death, when the merchants did not rise, the struggle between their Lu family and the Jing family was not less, and even many predecessors of the Lu family died very strangely a hundred years ago, and they were inseparable from the Jing family.

It's just that no matter what, the three-legged stand has lasted for decades, of course, it is not so easy to break, and Lu Yu didn't think that he would be able to overpower the Jing family immediately, but these days, they seem to be overwhelmed by the Jing family.

The reason is very simple, that is, the young master of the Jing family, Jing Feng, returned from the upper domain two years ago, and now he is already a serious six-rank Dan Emperor.

And recently, it is almost time for the Purple Maple City Danta Elder to change his position, but this time it is very likely that he will not be transferred from the Upper Domain as an Elder, but from the Lower Domain's Six Rank Dan Emperors. The merchant's ambition is in the upper domain, and he has no intention of fighting, so that he can be called a young and promising scene, and he has become a strong candidate for the new elder.

If Jing Feng is really put on the throne, among the three major families, there may not be anything wrong with the merchant, after all, everyone knows that Jing Feng has been pursuing the genius of the merchant, but in any case, his Lu family will definitely be unlucky.

It is precisely because of this incident that Lu Yu has been irritable these days, but there is nothing to do.

Sitting on the Taishi chair in the lobby, gently stroking the handle, Lu Yu sighed slightly.

In the past, when he was only a second young master, he often fantasized that one day he could sit on this chair and replace his father.

But at that time, he was not valued in the Lu family, and he had an excellent eldest brother on it, who thought that he was not worthy of the position of the head of the family, and he was often worried and resentful about it.

However, now, he has really sat in this position, but he does not feel much happier, but more worried.

Is your choice the right one?

Originally, with his talent and strength, no matter what, the head of the family would not be able to do it, but twenty years ago, because of an opportunity, his status in the family has greatly improved, and he was looked at by the old guys above, plus his excellent eldest brother Lu Song, after that Danyuan Conference, he was determined to practice wholeheartedly, delve into the art of alchemy, and no longer participate in family affairs, and took the initiative to give up the position of the head of the family, so he let him sit on this chair.

Now he has encountered a dilemma again, and I am afraid that there will be no such opportunity.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, I saw a subordinate porter walking in from outside the hall.

"Master, someone is outside. ”

Lu Yu frowned and asked, "Who is it?"

The porter was a little embarrassed and said: "Back to the master, I don't know, there are two people who came, they didn't report their identities, they just said that they wanted to see the master." ”

"Talk about business with the Lu family?"

Lu Yu frowned: "I don't even know who the other party is, what are you telling me to do? Isn't there anyone in the Lu family? Come to worship the door of my Lu family, and don't even report your name, where is my Lu family?" ”

The porter said respectfully, "Yes, sir." ”

Seeing the porter turn around and walk out of the door, Lu Yu became more and more angry in his heart, when he was not the head of the family twenty years ago, everyone had to receive him by himself, and after twenty years, he became the head of the family, is it the same?

But thinking of the moment twenty years ago, Lu Yu was stunned, as if he had thought of something, and he was distracted for a moment before he came back to his senses and said, "Come back." ”

"Let them in. ”

A moment later, two figures walked into the lobby, one in front of the other.

But it was two young men who didn't look very old, and the ones in front of them lowered their heads and couldn't see their faces clearly.

Lu Yu was puzzled: "Who are the two distinguished guests, I don't know what is the important matter of looking for me Lu Yu?"

But I heard a slightly hoarse voice, which sounded slowly.

"I have a business to discuss with the Lu family. ”

Lu Yu was stunned at first, and the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and his body began to tremble.

"You-"

Out of control, the delicate wooden handle of the Taishi chair was unscrewed, but he suddenly stood up, staring at his eyes, and his eyes showed excitement.

"Ming...... Mr. Ming?"

This voice he will never forget for the rest of his life.

However, the next moment, I saw the young man raise his head and show a smile.

"Unfortunately, you guessed wrong?"

Seeing the young man's face, Lu Yu was stunned again, this was a somewhat familiar and somewhat unfamiliar face, but he immediately recalled it, and once again showed a look of ecstasy.

"You...... You are...... The younger brother?"

"It's down there. Yue Mingju smiled slightly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Brother Lu's complexion is a little bad." ”

At the same time, more than ten miles east of the city, there is another equally luxurious mansion.

"Hmph, as long as I win the position of elder this time, I'll take a look at that kid Lu Yu, what else can he do to fight with our Jing family. ”

A middle-aged man with a short beard, narrow eyes, and a somewhat pale face sneered.

"Feng'er, don't be impatient in this matter. ”

A middle-aged man in a gorgeous dress with a similar face and gray hair sitting opposite him frowned and said, "It's better to be careful." ”

This person is the contemporary head of the Jing family, Jing Yue, and standing opposite is his son Jing Feng.

Unlike the Lu family, Jing Yue has been sitting as the head of the family for the past twenty years, while Jing Feng has devoted himself to cultivating the art of Dan and has not inherited the head of the family.

"Dad, what are you still worried about?" Jing Feng frowned and said: "Lu Song's family has not broken through the sixth grade for a long time, and he is no longer my opponent, and no one in the Lu family can threaten our Jing family except him." ”

Jing Yue touched her beard, but shook her head, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.

"For some reason, for my father these days, there is always an inexplicable anxiety in my heart. ”

"What anxiety?" Jing Feng was stunned.

Jing Yue hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's like...... It's like twenty years ago. ”
