Chapter 807: Bai Xiashuang’s Answer
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
In their original plan, Lu Li and Lu Ling were going back to the Deserted World and Inferno after staying at the City of Mystic Armor for half a month. Now that Lu Li was going to marry Bai Qiuxue and Jiang Qiling, his return to the Deserted World and Inferno was postponed.
Resting for half a month, Lu Zhengyang could get off bed, with effort. After all, he was a warrior at the Earth Immortal Realm with good foundation. During the half a month, he cultivated and was nourished by many elixirs so he had recovered well.
For the first time, he walked out from the underground place. Gazing far into the Mystic Armor Mountain, scanning the City of Mystic Armor with psychic power, Lu Zhengyang was overwhelmed with strong emotions.The moment he sank into sleep, he thought he could never wake up, not in this life time. Little did he know that there was a day that he could see the light of the day again. He never would expect that his grandson and granddaughter had grown up. More than that, they had established their fame at the Great Land and they were even more powerful than the Lu Family.
Lu Renhuang gave Lu Zhengyang a brief account of the past events a couple of days ago, stunning the latter speechless. He did not know that Lu Zhengtan would be so muddleheaded that he would allow for internal strife. Lu Suan and Lu Ni were sinister beyond imagination to attempt to murder Lu Li and Lu Ling several times.
“Greetings, Family Patriarch!”
On the city walls stood many powerful warriors in orderly arrays. All the Noble Lord Realm warriors of the Lu Family and the affiliated forces had come. They were all on their knees. Lu Li and Lu Ling were at the front row and they knelt as well. Looking at Lu Zhengyang could had white hair and was supported by Lu Renhuang and Lu Feixue with their hands, Lu Li and Lu Ling bowed solemnly as they shouted, “Greetings, grandfather!”
“My dear, dear children!”
Tears flowed down from Lu Zhengyang’s aged eyes. He walked over, his hands trembling, and helped up Lu Li and Lu Ling himself. Looking Lu Li and Lu Ling up and down, he exclaimed, “My dear, you are amazing. With you, the Lu Family can finally have hope again. I will be able to die with no regret now!”
“Grandfather, you are in the prime of your life. You cannot speak of death now!”Lu Li saw the tears in Lu Zhengyang’s eyes. Imbued in his affectionate looks, for the first time, Lu Li felt the warmth of family bond in the Lu Family. “Under your leadership, grandfather, the Lu Family will be heading toward glory and will ascend to the peak of the Heaven Reverse Universe!”
“The peak of the Heaven Reverse Universe!”
The last part of Lu Li’s sentence not only lightened up Lu Zhengyang’s eyes, but also excited all the warriors on the city wall. With Lu Renhuang, Lu Li and Lu Ling, to stand at the peak of the Heaven Reverse Universe in the future was not a mere verbal statement.
Lu Zhengyang nodded. Lu Renhuang and Lu Feixue helped him into the main hall. This was not a place that everyone was allowed in. Only Family Patriarchs of affiliated families, Lu Family patriarchs and deacons could go in.
In the main hall, Lu Zhengyang immediately released a Family Patriarch’s decree, announcing that Lu Fenghuo and the others would be send to the Demon Island within the next few days to honor Great Grandfather Three’s sentence.
As the Family Patriarch of the Lu Family, Lu Zhengyang naturally was a decisive and resolute man. Moreover, he had gone to the Southern Land of Voodoos because Lu Fenghuo had most likely given him fake news. This was the gang that tried to murder his son, his grandson and granddaughter. There was no doubt that Lu Zhengyang would not be lenient.
Those of Lu Feixue’s ex-husband’s family were all captured. Many of Lu Family’s patriarchs were exiled. Family affairs were varied and chaotic at the moment. On the outside, the Central Plains was in total disorder. The Demon-slaying Hall was in an urgent state. Being in a coma for so many years, Lu Zhengyang knew little of the Great Land.
Even though Lu Renhuang tried to persuade Lu Zhengyang to cultivate for some time, Lu Zhengyang sprang to work immediately because as the Family Patriarch, there was no shrinking responsibility. Also, Lu Renhuang did not like to be concerned over such matters. For the Lu Family, Lu Zhengyang must be dedicated.
For Lu Li marrying Jiang Qiling and Bai Qiuxue, Lu Zhengyang strongly supported. Jiang Qiling was the Jiang Family Patriarch. Lu Li marrying a Family Patriarch was very beneficial for the Lu Family.
Of course…
Jiang Family would have some concerns. They must sit down and talk it out. There would be terms to be negotiated. What would the Jiang Family and the Pavilion of Delicacy do when their master was married to the Lu Family?
After a couple of more days, Lu Zhengyang was almost completely recovered. As such, he was more occupied. He made plans and arrangements, took over some forces. At the same time, super Teleportation Formations were activated to send countless Lu Family scouts to all corners so as to collect information of the Central Plains.
Lu Li had made himself an enemy of six forces and the Demon-slaying Hall in addition. Practically, he rivaled against most forces of the Great Land.
Lu Li now represented the Lu Family. Lu Renhuang had returned, which meant that Lu Family was about to be every force’s enemy. This was no laughing matter and could not be treated lightly. One careless move could lead the Lu Family to eternal doom.
Information was critical!
Lu Zhengyang began to contact the Great Buddhist Temple and extended a cordial invitation to Prajna to come to the City of Mystic Armor. This was an action to foster relationships. Lu Zhengyang also sent messengers to the Pavilion of Delicacy with many gifts to state the intention of marriage connection. If Jiang Wuwo agreed, Lu Li and Lu Renhuang would go to the Jiang Family for formal discussion.
Representatives were also sent to the Tumulus of Universe to discuss about the marriage between Lu Hongyu and Ye Luo. With their marriage, the alliance between the Lu Family and the Tumulus of Universe would be formed.
Lu Family, Pavilion of Delicacy, Great Buddhist Temple and Tumulus of Universe would be four forces in the same league.
Since Lu Li had the ability to counterbalance the Deputy Master and Patriarch of Law Enforcement enjoyed an advanced status in the Demon-slaying Hall, Lu Family’s status now was stabilized.
Lu Zhengyang had sent people to learn situation of the Demon-slaying Hall and consult Patriarch of Law Enforcement on what to do with Deputy Master.
The Great Buddhist Temple showed good intention. The abbot sent a message in person, claiming that on the day of Lu Li’s marriage, he would let Prajna come to extend congratulations.
Those went to the Pavilion of Delicacy came back soon. Jiang Wuwo said nothing. He merely stated that Lu Renhuang should go to the Island of Delicacy in person to talk about the specifics.
Both Lu Li and Lu Renhuang could understand Jiang Wuwo’s state of mood—Jiang Wuwo was inferior to Lu Renhuang now and Jiang Qiling had taken the position of Family Patriarch away from him. Jiang Wuwo felt very embarrassed. Of course his daughter would take Lu Li’s side when he came to ask to take her hand in marriage. That being said, it was only natural that Jiang Wuwo would deliberately put obstacles in Lu Li’s way.
Lu Li didn’t mind. He was marrying Jiang Wuwo’s daughter and he was marrying Bai Qiuxue at the same time. There would be no difference between his two future wives’ status. To satisfy Jiang Wuwo’s ego was only reasonable.
Lu Renhuang blamed himself for all the suffering Lu Li endured over the past years. He would never stand in Lu Li’s way just because of some superficial issues. All matters were settled. In a few days when information was sent back from the Demon-slaying Hall, Lu Li and Lu Renhuang would be teleported back to the City of Delicacy.
Lucky for them, there were super Teleportation Formations between the 12 royal cities. Transportation was convenient. Teleporting to the City of Delicacy would take merely half a day.
Three days later, those sent to the Demon-slaying City came back. They contacted Great Grandfather Three who stated that situation in the Demon-slaying Battleground was very grave. Both Deputy Master and Patriarch of Law Enforcement had moved out with the army. Half of Demon-slaying Hall’s powerful warriors and those sent by different families had moved out. They were all in the Demon-slaying Battleground, fighting the four races. For the time being, Deputy Master would not go after Lu Li and Lu Family.
Lu Zhengtan, Lu Tiandi and Lu Suan all had their souls reconstructed. They had been sent into the Demon-slaying Battleground to fight the four races. It would be up to fate to see if they could survive.
Lu Li and Lu Renhuang decided right away that they would go to the Jiang Family with Jiang Qiling the next day to discuss matters of their marriage arrangements. When they set the date, they would have the wedding ceremony.
One more thing delighted Lu Li. Madam Yan and Bai Leng gave consent for Bai Xiashuang to marry Lu Li. However, Bai Xiashuang must be regarded as the principal wife as well, enjoying the same status as Bai Qiuxue and Jiang Qiling.
Bai Qiuxue informed Lu Li that Bai Xiashuang… said yes to the marriage!
