"Brother Lu Chen, is there anything else, if it's okay, I'm going back to my room to practice spiritual skills. Zhongli looked at Lu Chen and said.

"Ahh ”

"Uncle Lu has come to Qingming City, does he want to see me?" Zhongli asked two questions in succession, feeling a little puzzled.

Lu Chen sighed lightly, and said in a somewhat helpless tone: "Yes, my Lu family has been in business for a long time, and every year someone from the small secret realm will come to buy the treasures in the small secret realm, but I didn't expect that this time it would be my father who came from here." ”

"My father arrived this morning, and as soon as I entered the city, I heard the news that I lent 30,000 medium-grade spirit stones to the Divine Sword Sect yesterday, and you also know that my Lu family has never been involved in the grievances between sects. I was furious about this, and I was just sent to explain why. ”

Lu Chen smiled bitterly, looking at Zhongli's meaning was self-evident, yesterday you were going to borrow the spirit stone to the Divine Sword Sect, and at this moment, you have to go and explain to me.

"Well, I'll go with Brother Lu Chen, when the time comes, you can say that the spirit stone was lent to me, and then the Divine Sword Sect will return the spirit stone to me, and I will return it to the Lu family." Zhongli said in the end, he felt that this excuse was a little inadequate, but the incident was caused by him, and he could only follow Lu Chen.

When the two went out, there was already a carriage waiting at the door, carrying them away.

"By the way, the Lu family does not participate in the grievances between the sects, why does Brother Lu Chen still join Deacon Su's forces, isn't this against the wishes of the Lu family?" There is quite a distance from the suburbs to the market, and Zhongli chatted with Lu Chen, which is also where Zhongli is puzzled, the Lu family is such a big family, but Lu Chen does not even bring a single attendant guard.

Lu Chen explained: "This matter is a long story, when I was young and ignorant, I had a dispute with my father, and I left the Lu family in a fit of anger and came to this Qingming City. At that time, I was also bullied here, and Deacon Su's power management was not strict, so I joined the Su Academy, just to keep warm and seek refuge. Deacon Su said that the Su Academy is not considered a force of the Divine Sword Sect, and it can leave at any time, and the family will naturally not care. ”

The two chatted all the way, and the time passed quickly, and although the carriage was not moving fast, it was half an hour before it reached the market.

"Young Master, we've arrived. After the carriage stopped, the coachman shouted inside, signaling that Lu Chen could get off.

"Let's go. After getting out of the carriage, Lu Chen said to Zhongli and walked out first. After chatting with Zhongli all the way, he was in a much calmer mood at the moment, and he didn't have the nervousness of meeting his father before.

The groom followed, and then ran in front of Lu Chen, leading the way for the two of them to a rather luxurious room.

At this time, it was noon, the head of the Lu family was eating, and before the groom knocked on the door, Lu Chen calmly pushed the door in, and Zhongli followed closely to enter.

The head of the Lu family looked like he was in his fifties, a little hunchbacked, with only a thin ring of hair on his head, the center was bare, like a barren hillside, with small eyes, a garlic nose, and a big mouth, and the adjectives used to almost scandalize his appearance were not used too much on him. Not at all like Lu Chen's young and handsome appearance, Zhongli smacked his tongue and couldn't help but wonder if the two were biological father and son.

"Father. Lu Chen shouted with great respect, which dispelled Zhongli's conjecture, and hurriedly shouted Uncle Lu.

The head of the Lu family coughed, looked at the two and said, "Sit down first." ”

After the two of them sat down, the head of the Lu family spoke: "Aren't you going to give me an explanation about yesterday's incident?"

Lu Chen replied flatly: "I know that my father taught us that our Lu family can't participate in the affairs between the various sects, and we can't stand in line to support which sect. Only in this way can we continue to pass on in this Fengzhou, and it will not be suppressed, and even several major sects will give our Lu family a little bit of thin noodles. ”

Saying this, Lu Chen stood up, looked at the head of the Lu family and said seriously: "But I think the family is wrong! This time is different from the past, the weak eat the strong, the fittest survive, even the Heavenly Fire Sect was destroyed in the first two years, and the four major sects have also become the three major sects! Why does our Lu family still look at the faces of the three major sects to do things, our Lu family's financial resources are also top in Fengzhou, why can't they rise? Become one of the real top forces in Fengzhou!"

Hearing this, Zhongli was a little stunned, since before he came in, neither of them had mentioned him, and even directly ignored his existence, and Lu Chen's words just now were full of ambition and had never been mentioned to him before. Lu Chen's words can be regarded as a big rebellion, if the people of the three major sects hear it, although it will destroy the Lu family, it is impossible for them to allow another sect to appear on an equal footing with them.

The head of the Lu family was also angry, slapped the table and stood up, looked at Lu Chen and said angrily: "What did you say!"

"I thought that if I put you in Qingming City for a few years of training, you would be sensible and mature, but I didn't expect it to become even more arrogant! If what you did yesterday were to be passed back to the family, how many people would use it to attack you?

The head of the Lu family was already extremely angry now, if it weren't for the fact that Lu Chen was his own son, he would have wanted to be killed directly.

Lu Chen looked at his father's annoyed appearance, and said lightly unhurriedly: "Presumably my father also knows what happened in Sunset City, right?"

The Lu family frowned and didn't speak, looking at Lu Chen angrily, he naturally knew about this matter, but he just wanted to listen to Lu Chen's explanation now, if Lu Chen still had this idea, he was even thinking about whether to support him as the head of the family in the future, he couldn't allow the family to perish in Lu Chen's hands.

Seeing that his father didn't reply, Lu Chen said to himself: "There are two major events that have happened in Sunset City, one is that someone has caused a thunderstorm that has not been born for tens of thousands of years, and the other is that Sunset City has been slaughtered. ”

The head of the Lu family watched Lu Chen talk farther and farther away, and couldn't help but say, "What does this have to do with you?" I want to listen to your explanation, you lent spirit stones to support the Divine Sword Sect yesterday, have you already hooked up with the Divine Sword Sect behind your family's back!"

The head of the Lu family is waiting for his answer, if so, then he will completely give up Lu Chen and put him under house arrest. He did not allow anyone to lead the Lu family to a point of no return. If it really stands with the Divine Sword Sect, then in the Hengdao Sect, the business done by the Biyun Sect will inevitably be suppressed with all its might, and the biggest use of the Lu family is to earn spirit stones.

"Does Father know who this is?" Lu Chen asked as he pointed to Zhongli.

Zhong Wei felt bad, he found that he seemed to be used by Lu Chen, he didn't know Lu Chen at all, and when he saw his ambition at this moment, he also felt quite terrible, sure enough, people were separated from their stomachs, and he really understood the sinister nature of human nature.

The head of the Lu family still didn't speak, he was waiting for Lu Chen to finish speaking, he didn't want to talk nonsense anymore.

"This is the person who caused the thunderstorm in Sunset City that day and survived it unharmed. Speaking of this, Lu Chen was a little excited, and his eyes even burst into light.

When the head of the Lu family heard this, he also looked at Zhongli with some surprise, he originally thought that Zhongli was a little person recruited by Lu Chen, so he didn't pay attention to it from beginning to end. I also thought that after Lu Chen said these rebellious words today, this person heard a lot, and killed him afterwards to avoid leaking, but he didn't expect that it was the monk who survived the thunder tribulation.

"How is that? Can he only compete with the three major sects? He is only in the Spirit Martial Realm, there are so many cultivators in the Yuan Martial Realm of the three major sects, and he can't compete with it alone, right?" The head of the Lu family thought that Lu Chen's plan was to recruit Zhong Li, and then with Zhong Li's strength, he led the Lu family to gain a firm foothold and gradually cultivate the Lu family's cultivators.
