Chapter 59: Insult
As soon as Wu Di's words came out, Lu Xuetong's eyes were surprised, and the whole courtyard was silent.
He didn't know where he got the courage to say such things.
Maybe he thought about the days with his brothers and sisters?
Maybe it's because Lu Xuetong is too pitiful at this time?
Or maybe it's because Lu Xuetong gave him too many gold coins?
But no matter what it is, since he said it, he has to bite the bullet.
He could feel from the Wu family that he could still cope with the cultivation realm of these people.
Lu Xuetong's eyes widened, staring at him intently, and her delicate lips trembled slightly.
She never thought that her newly recruited follower would be so righteous.
There have been countless men who have offered affection to her, but these men's flattery is all with ulterior motives.
Some are hungry for her body, some are coveting the wealth of the Lu family, and some want to have a relationship with the Extreme Sword Sect.
And there has never been a person like Jiwu Di who said that he wanted to protect her at a critical moment.
Maybe Wu Di didn't know what kind of strength the Tianbei Empire meant, but he could say this, which also moved Lu Xuetong deeply.
"Little henchman!" Lu Xuetong shouted excitedly.
At this moment, this handsome young man has a much taller image in her heart.
In a sense, they just met in the water, and they only knew each other for ten days.
A person who has just known her for a short time can give up his life to stand in front of her, while the relatives and elders who have lived together in the family for many years are timid, and they are not as important as an outsider to pay attention to her, which can't help but make her heart feel a little cold.
At this time, an elder of the Lu family said sharply:
"Child, presumptuous! Who do you think you are? Is it from our Lu family? Dare to make a big deal of nonsense here? ”
Another elder also said in an unkind tone:
"Boy, it's not your turn to tell you about our Lu family's affairs, get out of here quickly."
Then another middle-aged man said:
"This is about the lives of our Lu family, how can you, an outsider, get involved at will. Come, and drive him out. ”
And Wu Di heard the words of these Lu family elders, and was speechless.
Originally, he didn't have to get involved in this matter, but he was an outsider who still pitied the young lady of their Lu family, and these elders of the Lu family didn't care about their juniors.
This kind of behavior of theirs is even worse than that of his master Xuan Zhongzi.
Seeing two or three Lu family guards coming over, Lu Xuetong stood in front of him and shouted:
"I think any of you dare?"
At the back of the crowd, an elderly Lu elder held a wooden cane in his hand, paced the ground hard, and shouted in that old voice:
"Juniors are presumptuous!"
Hearing the old man's voice, everyone in the Lu family turned back and saluted:
"Great Elder! How did you get here! ”
The person who came was the great elder of the Lu family: Lu Yuanhong.
Seeing that the Great Elder of the Lu family was coming, the crowd of the Lu family retreated to both sides.
Lu Yuanhong looked old and frail, and was helped forward by a maid next to him.
"Junior Wu Peibi, I have seen the great elder of the Lu family!"
After Wu Peibi saw Lu Yuanhong, he smiled and bowed.
At present, the Lu family and the Wu family are the most powerful in the entire Sanssouci City, and the strength of the two families is also in the middle of the best.
The Wu family can't go against the Lu family on the yin side now.
And although this Lu Yuanhong is not the head of the Lu family, he is the highest elder in the family, and many people in the Lu family are single-handedly raised by him.
In some ways, what he said carried more weight than the head of the Lu family, that is, Lu Xuetong's father.
Therefore, when Wu Peibi saw the great elder of the Lu family, he still had to behave respectfully in face.
What he needs to do now is to marry Lu Xuetong home, not to turn against the Lu family.
When Lu Xuetong marries into their Wu family, they can implement the plan to annex the Lu family next.
Lu Yuanhong looked at Wu Peibi, who was full of jewels, and asked:
"You are the little master of the Wu family?"
Wu Peibi replied:
"It's the junior."
"Hmmm······" Lu Yuanhong nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Good-looking, polite, quite like your grandfather 'Wu Guanghu' back then."
Wu Peibi's flattering words:
"Thank you Mr. Lu for your praise, and grandpa often mentions you, saying that you were old and powerful, and you were all over the world. When I saw it today, I really grew old and strong, like a flying immortal. ”
And Wu Di was stunned when he heard it next to him, this man dressed as a pheasant is much better than his obscene appearance!
Hearing that he was praised by the younger generation as a rising immortal, Lu Yuanhong's wrinkled old face blossomed.
"Good, good!" He was good three times in a row, fully showing the joy in his heart.
He then asked:
"You came to our Lu family today for your marriage to Lu Xuetong?"
From the name he directly called Lu Xuetong, it can be seen that this daughter of the head of the Lu family has no weight in his heart.
Wu Peibi replied respectfully:
"Back to Mr. Lu, the grandfather of the previous junior and the former head of the Lu family made a marriage contract. When Lu Xuetong, the daughter of the Lu family, reaches the age of eighteen, she will immediately marry my Wu family and marry her juniors. Seeing that the time is approaching, the younger generation has come to fulfill the marriage contract. ”
"Oh······" Lu Yuanhong nodded slightly:
"I know about this matter, it was the old man who accompanied his cousin and went with your grandfather to the Imperial Notary Office to notarize this matter. Counting the days, it is indeed time to fulfill the marriage contract. ”
As he spoke, he slowly turned to look at Lu Xuetong's father, and said with a serious expression:
"Lu Feng, since the day is coming, fulfill the marriage contract!"
Lu Xuetong's father, that is, Lu Feng, looked at Lu Yuanhong with an embarrassed expression:
"Great Elder, Xue Tong is still young, can this matter be postponed for some time and discussed in the long run?"
It can be seen that Lu Feng still doesn't want to marry Lu Xuetong.
No one in this worry-free city knows the virtue of Wu Peibi, the young master of the Wu family, and marrying Lu Xuetong is tantamount to pushing her into the fire pit.
Lu Yuanhong's expression suddenly became stern:
"Lu Feng, as the head of the family, do you know what you're talking about?"
He unceremoniously poked Lu Xuetong's arm with his cane and shouted loudly:
"It's going to be eighteen soon! Is this still small? This marriage contract was made by your father himself, are you going against your father's wishes? This girl jumps up and down all day long, she doesn't look like a girl, it's all what your father is used to. is not like a virtuous lady from someone else's family, but she wants to go to some sect to be a monk. As a result, for so many years, nothing will be done, female workers and female workers will not work, and cultivation and cultivation will not work. It's a money-losing goods, the Wu family talks about integrity, and if you don't dislike your daughter, you can burn high incense!······"
Lu Yuanhong kept talking, and in the face of his behavior, Lu Xuetong stood there motionless, poked by Lu Yuanhong's crutches, and the tears in his eyes couldn't help but roll down.
But she didn't dare to be disrespectful to her elders, biting her lip and enduring the verbal and physical insults from Lu Yuanhong.
And Wu Di couldn't believe the picture in front of him at all!
Even in front of the inner disciples of the Extreme Sword Sect with a certain status, Lu Xuetong was such a special existence.
In the days when I got along with her on the Cloud Breaking Flying Boat, and Wu Di saw it with her own eyes, those inner disciples of the Extreme Sword Sect were all respectful to Lu Xuetong.
The cultivation realm of those disciples can beat everyone present with any one of them.
And now these people in the Lu family, how can they bully her like a poor kitten.
Others are afraid of this great elder of the Lu family, but Wu Di is not afraid.
He couldn't bear to see Lu Xuetong being bullied by a bad old man, and the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
"You ······".
Just as he was about to scold, a loud roar resounded throughout the courtyard:
"Enough!"
