Eight hundred and eighteenth chapter, the first visit to the Luo family
Huang Helou followed Lu Feng to the Luo Family Villa. The closer he got, the more anxious his heart became.
During this period, he also asked Lu Feng carefully, but the latter just smiled meaningfully.
The Luo Family Garden is just an ordinary landscape garden with nothing special about it. It can be seen everywhere in Xuanjin City.
But the word "Luo" on the plaque at its door is enough to show its uniqueness.
Just this one word is enough to scare away more than 80% of the forces and soul masters on the mainland.
Lu Feng submitted the greeting card according to the rules, but the response he got from the guard was that Luo Tianci was not at the house at the moment, but had returned to his family.
Lu Feng was helpless, but he had expected such a result. Fortunately, there were other ways to prepare for the bidding qualification.
When he was about to leave, a figure not far behind him slowly walked over.
"Who are you? Why are you looking for my elder brother?"
The visitor was none other than Luo Tianfu. Looking at him with sleepy eyes and a sluggish posture, he also exuded a strong smell of alcohol and rouge, as if he had spent most of last night at a fireworks place.
Huang Helou responded: "This is the new head of our Qingshan Sword Sect."
Luo Tianfu followed what Huang Helou pointed and glanced at Lu Feng. After a slight hesitation, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Qingshan Sword Sect... Oh, I remember, it was the former Liuguang Sword Sect, right? Haha.
~You didn’t shrink your neck and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, but instead came to this Xuanjin City. Do you think you still have the nerve to return to the world of sect power?”
Upon hearing this, Huang Helou's face suddenly darkened, with anger in his eyes.
Luo Tianfu snorted disdainfully, "Get out of here quickly, lest people misunderstand that my Luo family has any connection with you."
Lu Feng suppressed Huang Helou's anger and said coldly: "My sect doesn't want to have anything to do with people like you. It would make each other tired of seeing each other, so I ask you to pay me the two hundred owed to me for Luo Tianci."
Just pay back fifty pieces of high-grade Origin Stone!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Luo Tianfu cursed loudly: "You don't even look at where you are extorting money, how dare you bring it upon my Luo family?"
Not only Luo Tianfu, but also Huang Helou's face was obviously shocked, full of disbelief.
Two hundred and fifty pieces of high-grade source stones! What a huge amount of resources this must be!
Huang Helou asked himself that he had never seen so many Origin Stone resources in his life.
Lu Feng's eyes were sharp and he glared at Luo Tianfu coldly, "Are you, the Luo family, going to turn against you?"
Luo Tianfu felt the cold breath coming from Lu Feng, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble. He woke up from the drunkenness and said in horror: "Does he really owe you two hundred and fifty Origin Stones? Or is he a high-grade Origin Stone?"
"You think I'm joking?"
Lu Feng still had that cold attitude. He showed no fear when faced with Luo Tianfu's questioning, and even clearly outdid him in terms of aura.
Huang Helou secretly watched in his heart, and was even more satisfied with Lu Feng's performance. With such a majestic posture, he seemed to have the qualifications to be the leader of a second-rate force, and even a first-rate might not be necessary!
After Luo Tianfu received Lu Feng's firm response, he suddenly burst out laughing uncontrollably.
"He actually has today!"
"There's something great to watch now!"
Luo Tianfu laughed so much that he bent over, which clearly showed how happy he was. When he thought of the expressions of the old guys in the clan when they learned that Luo Tianci owed so much 'foreign debt', he couldn't stop laughing no matter what.
Now he no longer cares about the identity and background of Lu Feng and the other two, let alone former members of the Flowing Light Sword Sect, even if they are from the Demonic Evil Sect, he is determined to keep them so that this good show can be staged.
If he uses it properly, he will have a better chance of succeeding as the next head of the Luo family.
"You two will follow me into the house and wait for a while. Luo Tianci should be back around noon."
Luo Tianfu led the way diligently, leading Lu Feng and the two of them straight to a side hall on one side.
‘Squeak, squeak, squeak~’
As we passed an antique corridor, we heard several beastly roars coming from behind the distant partition wall.
Luo Tianfu saw that Lu Feng and the others were attracted by the sound, and he explained casually: "To make you laugh, over there is my little sister's courtyard, where she raises a disobedient rogue monkey while peeing."
Lu Feng smiled knowingly and saw two maids in the distance holding a bowl of spiritual fruit and raw meat. He immediately realized that it was the monkeys who were raising them and making such noises when they were starving at meal time.
After arriving at the side hall, Luo Tianfu didn't entertain too much. He stretched and yawned before going back to his room.
Seeing this, Huang Helou couldn't help but scorn him: "This second son of the Luo family is really as good-humored and lazy as the rumors say, and he wants to compete for the position of the head of the family. It's just a fool's dream."
With a deep meaning in his eyes, Lu Feng spoke with a hint: "Don't just take everything at face value. Whether Luo Tianfu is really lazy and carefree, or whether he is pretending to be like this on purpose, we will know when Luo Tianci comes back."
Huang Helou didn't know why, so he stopped talking about it when a maid approached him to bring tea and water.
It was half past noon, and Lu Feng and Huang Helou had already finished three rounds of tea.
Only then did the bustling sounds come from outside the door, as well as the continuous greetings from the maids and servants.
This, Luo Tianci, is back.
When Huang Helou heard the movement, he subconsciously sat upright for a few minutes and put the tea cup in his hand back on the table on one side.
But after waiting for a while, Luo Tianci did not arrive.
"Sect Master," Huang Helou said with some doubts, "My servants have clearly told Mr. Luo that we are waiting here. Why does it seem that he doesn't intend to come?"
Lu Feng glanced at the door meaningfully, "It's not that I'm not coming over, I'm afraid I have more important things to deal with."
Luo Family Villa, in the main hall.
Three white-haired old men were sitting on the main seat, with blazing eyes and serious expressions. Two of them had a bit of dampness on their clothes and a bit of dust on their faces. Hao Ran had also just arrived from outside.
of here.
Faintly standing behind them were several guards wearing black armor and wearing black masks.
Luo Tianci was summoned to the center of the main hall and faced the gazes of the three Luo family deacons and elders. Although his expression remained calm, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.
There are currently five deacons and elders in the Luo Family Deacon Hall. It is no exaggeration to say that the power possessed by these five elders is even higher than that of the current head of the family. They are the most supreme existence in the Luo Family.
Luo Tianci knew that if the three elders came forward and agreed with each other, it would not be impossible to directly abolish his status as the eldest son of Luo.
"I wonder what mistake Tianci made?"
Luo Tianci bowed respectfully and looked at the old man sitting on the right. He was his grandfather and the first two heads of the Luo family.
Anyone who can enter the Luo Family Deacon Hall is a direct descendant of the Luo Family, either one who has made outstanding contributions to the Luo Family, or who has served as the head of the Luo Family. It is for this reason that they will be given the highest rights.
Whether it is the Luo family, the Jun family, the Qin family, or the Sun family, the heads of such large families are usually not re-elected. Every once in a while, they will take the initiative to step down from their posts, retreat behind the scenes, and hand over the power to the new ones.
One generation.
Young people are always more daring and courageous than the older generation. Although this spirit has its advantages and disadvantages, it is the most important thing for the development of a force.
Luo Guangde sighed and looked at his grandson, and said bluntly: "Do you owe two hundred and fifty high-grade Origin Stones?"
Luo Tianci was stunned for a moment, and after careful consideration, he understood the reason why the three elders gathered together today. The look of shock on his face suddenly became less frightened, and he spoke slowly: "I didn't expect that this little thing would alarm all the elders in the end.
"
"A small matter?" Luo Guangde glared at Luo Tianci seriously and scolded: "You should know the rules of the Luo family. Losing hundreds of high-grade Origin Stones out of thin air is enough to impose the most severe punishment!"
Luo Tianci smiled and said calmly: "Not to mention that Tianci owes the Origin Stones for a reason. Even if it doesn't, he will definitely not appropriate all the Origin Stones from the clan. Over the years, Tianci has saved the Origin Stones during his breaks in practice.
There are also hundreds of dollars, plus the amount that can be transferred according to the authority, it will not cause any loss to the family."
The old man Luo Guangzhou sitting next to Luo Guangde shouted: "You are talking nonsense, how do you know that the Origin Stones you have accumulated in private are not the profits you secretly made from the family resource bank!"
Luo Tianci said righteously: "Every piece of Origin Stone in Tianci's hand is recorded in the clan's account books, and he will never do such surreptitious things."
When the old man heard this, his face darkened, he stopped talking, and returned the right of interrogation and investigation to Luo Guangde.
This time, the two of them came forward mainly to play a supervisory role to see if Luo Guangde would bend the law for personal gain when his grandson might commit a crime.
Luo Guangde's face was no longer serious at the beginning. Hearing that Luo Tianci had been able to save more than a hundred Origin Stones in his cultivation over the years, he couldn't help but feel happy.
"Tell me, there is a reason for what you said. What do you mean specifically?"
Luo Guangde looked at Luo Tianci calmly, and the initial worry in his heart had faded.
Luo Tianci smiled bitterly and said frankly: "It happened because Tianci went into the spiritual prison Taixu Illusion some time ago to pursue the fragments of our clan, where he was assassinated by Shen Fenggu Huaiziyou. This was originally not a big deal, and Tianci had no intention of doing so.
Alarm the elders."
"What?" Luo Guangde's face was full of shock and he shouted angrily: "Isn't this a big deal? Will it be a big deal after something happens to you? Do you know who invited the people from Shen Fenggu to take action?"
Luo Tianci shook his head bitterly. Although his grandfather was usually a bit solemn and stern, he was very caring about him.
The old man next to Luo Guangde questioned again: "You survived from Huaizi You? But what does this have to do with your foreign debt of two hundred and fifty yuan of high-grade source stones?"
Luo Tianci said frankly: "Shen Fenggu's Huai Ziyou never failed once he made a move. Tianci knew that he was invincible and was in a desperate situation. It happened that Brother Lu came to the rescue and was able to save his life."
Luo Guangde frowned and asked: "That being the case, are the two hundred and fifty Origin Stones a thank you gift? This is too heavy!"
Luo Tianci shook his head and explained: "It was because the people behind Huai Ziyou spent more than two hundred high-grade Origin Stones as reward, so Brother Lu offered two hundred and fifty Origin Stones to protect Tianci's life."
When the three elders heard this, their faces darkened at the same time.
Luo Guangde said angrily: "It doesn't make sense. What's the difference between taking advantage of others and taking advantage of them?"
Luo Guangzhou also said: "In my opinion, he is probably in the same den as the snake rat with a child, and they have joined forces to exploit our Luo family's resources!"
Luo Tianci waved his hand in embarrassment, "Although Tianci is not very capable, he still has the ability to recognize and defend people. Brother Lu should not be that kind of person!"
The old man who had never spoken until now suddenly said: "Is there anyone who can testify to what you just said?"
Luo Xuanqiu is currently the eldest person in the deacon hall. After this year, his position as deacon will also be given to relatives of the 'Guang' generation. He doesn't want anything else to happen in these last days.
