Lu Haichao saw the trace of displeasure on Lu Chen"s face and hesitated slightly. However, he still couldn"t help but clasp his hands once more as he said in a deep voice:
"Mister Lu, this matter is indeed of great importance to our Lu Family. We cannot let our guard down.""Moreover, it won"t take long, and it won"t hurt Miss Murong, so please don"t make things difficult for us old men."
Although he lowered his voice by quite a bit, Lu Haichao"s words carried a hint of an unquestionable tone.
It seemed that as long as Lu Chen continued to refuse, he would be prepared to use force.
In fact, although the Lu Family had not appeared in the eyes of the Celestial Sect of Wonders all these years, the Third Elder Lu Haichao held an extraordinary position in the family.To be so courteous to a junior, this was definitely the only thing that happened to the Third Elder.
However, what Lu Haichao did not know was that this att.i.tude had already caused a trace of anger to rise in Lu Chen"s heart.
Of course, what was more important was that Lu Chen actually wanted to prove that he had nothing to do with the Lu Family.
He didn"t want the Lu family to think about it too much and do something that would not be beneficial to her plan. He also didn"t want Murong Xin"er to have any doubts and cause other troubles.In this world, there was no wall that was impervious to the wind.
Even if everyone present would keep their mouths shut, there would always be times where they would accidentally slip up.
Sometimes, they didn"t even need to say anything to confirm their thoughts. The astute only needed to look at their reactions to know the result.
But before Lu Chen could say anything, Murong Xin"er, who was standing on the side, exploded.
"Enough, who do you think you are? You are just a stray dog that has been chased around by the people from the Celestial Sect of Wonders.Seeing that Lu Haichao was still blabbering on and on, Murong Xin"er became angry and rudely interrupted him.
From Murong Xin`er"s angry expression, Lu Chen didn"t sense anything amiss.He heaved a sigh of relief.
As far as Lu Chen was concerned, even though he had to express his att.i.tude, the people in front of him were still his seniors. If he could avoid a falling out with them, then he wouldn"t fall out with them.
Even if Grandpa Lu Qi was in front of them, he would still be a junior. This is something within your bloodline, and you have to respect it.
Even if it was just a temporary measure, Lu Chen did not want to offend him.
After all, if he were to say that it was too sharp, the feeling in Lu Chen"s heart wouldn"t be too good.
Moreover, in the inheritance of the Eye of Merit, there was a saying about erasing memories.This may seem simple, but it"s just the erasing of a part of the imprint within the soul.
However, Lu Chen knew very well that any mantra that dealt with souls would cause more or less damage to them.
Despite his brilliant methods and lack of performance at the moment, there would still be problems after a long time.
In short, this practice is harmful.Light injuries to the soul would only gradually be revealed when the cultivation base was high.
If he did not use enough cultivation skills, or if there was any carelessness in doing so, then it was possible that his soul would suffer an incalculable amount of damage. This could happen at once.
Therefore, even if Murong Xin`er was willing, Lu Chen wouldn"t let her take this risk.
Because there really was no need for it.
At this moment, Lu Chen"s expression became a little ugly.
Although the other party was a member of the Lu family, and they were all seniors that deserved respect, Lu Chen also discovered that the goal of these three great-grandfathers was extremely strong and not simple at all.
On the surface, they were here to get married.
However, once things got out of hand, his att.i.tude would change quite a bit, and he would even become a bit overbearing.
He, Lu Chen, did not mind at all.
However, when this situation targeted the people around him, they couldn"t just sit back and do nothing.Since Lu Haichao and the rest knew about his relationship with Hu Wei Guo, they should also know about his relationship with Murong Xin"er.
To threaten Murong Xin`er, especially in front of him, Lu Chen felt that there wasn"t much of a difference between that and threatening him.
He, Lu Chen, also wanted face!
It was true that he was an elder, but there was still a child behind him, wasn"t there?If he was disrespectful to his elders, then he could only help the morals and not his relatives.
Most importantly, the Lu family"s three elders did not have much of a difference in style from the other forces of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.Lu Chen believed that his father, Lu Qingtian, and his mother had risked their lives to cast the Two Elements of Creation Formation. This was the proper behavior that a member of the Celestial Sect of Wonders should have.
He reckoned that in the entire Celestial Sect of Wonders, there were only a handful of people like his father and mother who were selfless and dedicated.
Even if it was Ma Buqun, he had only risked his life to repay Ye Xiao"s previous kindness. That was why he had risked his life to take the next blow for Ye Xiao.Lu Chen might be grateful and respectful, but he didn"t admire the other party"s words.
Lu Haichao and the rest froze when they saw Lu Chen"s icy gaze.
They suddenly felt their hearts palpitate as they looked at each other, seeing the astonishment in each other"s eyes.They never thought that they would one day have such a feeling in the hands of a young man who was at the peak of the Yellow Rank!
But at this moment, the image of Lu Chen in the underground palace surfaced in Lu Haichao"s mind.
Even though he had not personally witnessed the Mao Mountain technique, the terrifying aura that Lu Chen"s body was exuding right now was almost as if it was real.In the blink of an eye, the three of them exchanged glances and came to a tacit agreement.
They all retracted their aggressive auras and revealed smiles that made people feel like they were in the spring. It was as if nothing had happened.
"Mr Lu, please do not misunderstand, do not misunderstand. This old one was just joking just now … "
Lu Hai Dong first came back to his senses, then he immediately cupped his fist towards Lu Chen with an apologetic look on his face.
Following that, Lu Haichao and Lu Haishan also echoed his sentiments.
But in comparison, Lu Haidong"s face was clearly thicker. The others were more or less a bit embarra.s.sed.
At this moment, Hu Weiguo and Hu Lingling couldn"t help but look at each other in dismay.
Although they didn"t quite understand the conversation between Lu Chen and the other two, from the looks of the three white-haired elders" expressions, they were still extremely respectful towards Lu Chen. They couldn"t help feeling extremely surprised.
They all realized that Lu Chen"s ident.i.ty wasn"t as simple as they thought. On the contrary, he might have an extremely deep background.
Although Hu Wei Guo was just an ordinary person and didn"t even know much, ordinary people had the intelligence of ordinary people.He was nearly a hundred years old and had good experience. He was good at reading people and knew a bit about things.
From the very beginning, Hu Wei Guo could vaguely feel an enormous pressure from the bodies of these three elders. A fear that came from the depths of his body was born.
