Chapter 40 - Preparing the Ancestor
"Uncle Nan." Lu Shaoyu turned his head to look, where he could not see Uncle Nan, but Uncle Nan was nowhere to be seen.
"What are you looking at?" Lu Wushuang asked Lu Shaoyu doubtfully.
"Nothing." Lu Shaoyu asked: "Big Sis Wushuang, how is today"s compet.i.tion in the clan like this?"
"What, have you changed your mind?" Lu Wushuang smiled slightly, then said: "Today, the family will test themselves, and when their cultivation is above Warrior Level, they will be able to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion. The last two people will represent Lu Family to go up to Qingyun Town to compete with the various large families, while the other younger generation members of the family with better talent will be left in the family to cultivate.""Oh." At this time, the two had already arrived in front of a wide courtyard. All the way, whenever a servant saw Lu Shaoyu, they would nod their heads.
"We"re here." Lu Wushuang said to Lu Shaoyu.
"Lu Family Ancestral Hall." Lu Shaoyu focused on the four large green words written outside the courtyard. The words were thick and powerful, and did not sound like it was written by an ordinary person.
"Miss Wushuang." Outside the courtyard, two servants bowed respectfully, and then looked curiously at Lu Shaoyu.
"Shaoyou, let"s go in." Lu Wushuang said to Lu Shaoyu.Following Lu Wushuang, Lu Shaoyu entered the ancestral hall. In front of the ancestral hall, there was a vast courtyard, and over a hundred people had already arrived at the courtyard. With a single glance, Lu Shaoyu could tell that these hundred people were disciples from the direct and side branches of the Lu Family, and were all members of the younger generation.
And Lu Shaoyu also noticed that in front of him, Lu Shaohu, Zhou Haiming and the others who were surrounded by a group of people, did not change their expressions on their faces.
When they saw Lu Wushuang and Lu Shaoyu, the expressions of practically everyone present changed. Regarding Lu Shaoyu, the Lu Family disciples present were naturally very familiar with him, and his ident.i.ty had always been a joke of the Lu Family.
"Why is he here?""Isn"t he someone from the Lu Family? Isn"t it impossible for him to enter the ancestral hall?"
"I heard that Lu Shaoyu is actually a Warrior, and also has the strength of a Warrior Level. I think only by doing this will he be able to enter the Ancestral Hall.
Back then, Miss Wushuang, when she was sixteen years old, she only had the strength of a Warrior, but now, she is already a disciple of Cloudy Sun Sect.
"What do you know? This time, I heard that Lu Shaohu is already at Warrior Level. Lu Mei and Lu Shaoxiong have almost reached Warrior Level."
"It"s better if he is a direct descendant. We, the branch family, lost in the beginning."
A few people had already started to quietly discuss, as for the matter of Lu Shaoyu being the Warrior, almost everyone was aware of it.
"Isn"t it best for the people of the Lu Family to leave the ancestral hall? Can any kind of cat or dog come in?" A taunting voice came out, and the one who spoke was Lu Shaohu.Lu Shaoyu"s expression slightly sank. This Lu Shaohu was naturally talking about himself, he really did have a mother and a son, ah. From his memories, this Lu Shaohu normally would not bully the original Lu Shaoyu less.
"Lu Shaoyu, I am talking about you. Why have you come to the ancestral hall?" mocked. Last time in the rear flower garden, Lu Shaoyu stole the limelight from him, but he had always kept it in mind."Then what are you doing here? When did the Zhou family change to the Lu Family?" Lu Shaoyu smiled faintly, if it wasn"t for his mother telling him to come to the Lu Family Ancestral Hall, he really didn"t want to come. As for this Zhou Haiming, according to the memories, he knew he wouldn"t be much better off.
"You …" Zhou Haiming was instantly angered, and coldly said after: "I"m too lazy to lower myself to the same level as you, little b.a.s.t.a.r.d."
"Zhou Haiming, enough, Shaoyou was sent by my father, what qualifications do you have to say so many things?" Lu Wushuang shouted.
Zhou Haiming was furious, but he did not dare say anything in front of Lu Wushuang, and looked at him fiercely.
"Big Sis Wushuang, Big Uncle doesn"t have the right to let him come, right? He"s not someone from the Lu Family." Lu Shaohu looked at Lu Shaoyu and said immediately.
"Lu Shaohu, this is grandfather"s wish. If you have anything, go tell grandfather." Lu Wushuang said.Hearing Lu Wushuang"s words, Lu Shaohu"s expression changed slightly, and she did not speak anymore. Old patriarch, no one dared to go, because he was the person with the highest position in the Lu Family.
"Big Sis Wushuang, what took you so long?" Amongst the crowd, Lu Mei, who was dressed in luxurious robes, walked to Lu Wushuang"s side. Even though she was young, her entire body already possessed a bewitching aura.
Lu Mei arrived beside Lu Wushuang, but her gaze was also focused on Lu Shaoyu. The look in her eyes no longer had the usual look of contempt towards Lu Shaoyu, but instead had some other meaning.
Lu Shaoyu glanced at Lu Mei, and from the woman"s gaze, he guessed that she was a woman who had her own plans. She was already like this at such a young age, what"s the point of growing up, it was better for him to stay away.
"Yes, it"s not too late to come now." Lu Wushuang said.
"Master is here! Master Four is here! Look!"There was a light disturbance in the crowd, and at the same time, a few figures walked in from outside the courtyard. There was a handsome man in front, dressed in a long robe, which Lu Shaoyu recognized, it was Lu Family"s boss, Lu Dong.
Beside Lu Dong was a middle-aged woman dressed in plain clothes. She looked graceful and was Lu Dong"s wife, the Huang Clan, as well as Lu Wushuang"s foster mother.
Furthermore, on the left of Lu Dong, there was a middle-aged man dressed in blue, who looked somewhat similar to Lu Dong. He looked like a tiger with a bear"s back, bear"s waist, and sharp eyes.
As for the last middle-aged woman, she was wearing a rich appearance. Her hair was tied up in a bun and some rouge was wiped off her face.
Adding an adopted son, there were five people in total: Lu Dong, Lu Nan, Lu Zhong, Lu Zhong, Lu Xi, Lu Bei, and Lu Shaoyu"s father was the third oldest, Lu Zhong.
Currently, beside Lu Nan, a middle-aged man in an embroidered gown,"s husband, Zhou Lixing, was watching over the crowd. Lu Shaoyu"s expression slightly changed as he noticed that Zhao Hui was also among them.
Lu Shaoyu pondered in his heart, this Zhao Hui probably wouldn"t let him enter the ancestral hall, but he didn"t say much, probably because of his uncle or that so-called grandfather of his who spoke, so she was not allowed to object.And among the people from the Lu Family, Lu Shaoyu did not see his so-called father, Fourth Uncle and Lu Mei"s father, Lu Bei. Other than these people, Lu Shaoyu knew a few other elders of the Lu Family. Their position in the Lu Family was not low, and could be considered elders of the Lu Family.
When Lu Dong and the rest arrived, no one dared to make a sound, they just stood there quietly.
"Come in." Lu Dong looked at everyone and paused for a moment on Lu Shaoyu"s expression, and then said to everyone.
Everyone followed Lu Dong and the rest as they entered the ancestral hall. Lu Shaoyu was the last one to enter.The Ancestral Hall was larger than Lu Shaoyu had imagined, and it was large enough to accommodate everyone. In the middle of the Ancestral Hall was a row of spirit tablets, with the names of all the ancestors of Lu Family written on them.
Lu Shaoyu sized it up a little, but was not really interested in it. Inside the Ancestral Hall, there were over a hundred praying mats, and everyone was standing at the front, straight line up for the disciples, followed by the disciples from the other branches.
