C26 Family Competition (1/2)

That afternoon, Lu Xiong brought his personal bodyguards, as well as Lu Feng, Lu Yueru, and Lu Feng's personal bodyguards, along with Lu Cheng. The group of more than ten people rode fast horses and safely returned to Greencloud City.

Because they didn't know that Lu Xiong was in danger, the Lu family didn't have much of a reaction to Lu Xiong's return.

After returning to the Lu Manor, Lu Xiong didn't stop there and called for the elders and stewards of the Lu Family to gather together. He prepared to hold a family meeting.

The eldest son of Lu Xiong, the next generation's first-in-line successor, Lu Feng was duty-bound to participate in this meeting.

Moreover, according to Lu Xiong, this meeting also needed to clarify Lu Feng's identity and establish his position within the family.

Following Lu Xiong into the spacious meeting hall, Lu Feng expressionlessly sat beside Lu Xiong, coldly watching every elder that entered.

In this generation of Lu Xiong, there were a total of seventeen elders, plus some stewards and commanders, in a short while, fifty to sixty people sat in the meeting hall, looking like they were all gathered together.

Sitting at the front desk with Lu Xiong was Lu Feng, the Young Patriarch, as well as the six Elders in the top six. Without exception, all of these Elders had cultivations above Xiantian realm.

When Grand Elder Lu Wei walked into the main hall, Lu Feng intentionally stared at him and sized him up. Other than noticing that Grand Elder's face was slightly ashen, he didn't discover anything else.

However, Lu Feng had always suspected that when Lu Xiong was out in the open, the Great Elder, who was temporarily the Patriarch, would be very suspicious. This was because he had concealed the truth of Lu Xiong's predicament and did not send out any reinforcements, which did not exclude the possibility of him wanting to use the magical beasts to get rid of Lu Xiong, the Patriarch.

Moreover, at that time, there was also the matter of Lu Feng being expelled into the Green Cloud Mountain Range. If something happened to Lu Xiong, then the hundred year old Lu Clan wouldn't fall into the hands of Lu Wei, the Great Elder.

If the Great Elder tried to rope in a few more elders, not to mention the others, the Third Elder who had his butler crippled by Lu Feng would definitely stand on the side of the Great Elder.

At that time, it would not be impossible for the few Great Elders to work together and push the Great Elder to the seat of the Patriarch.

”Grand Elder, your expression isn't good. Are you injured?”

Upon seeing the Great Elder walk in, Lu Xiong immediately noticed that something was amiss and intentionally pretended to be concerned about him as he asked.

”Cough, cough!”

The Great Elder coughed twice and said indifferently:

”I was cultivating yesterday, so my zhenqi deviated slightly and caused a backlash.

But don't worry, I've already consumed the pill and it won't be long before I recover.

Thank you, Patriarch, for your concern.

However, Clan Head, you seem to be in high spirits. The matter of the magical beasts attacking the city should have been resolved perfectly, right? ”

Old fox!

In addition, he was originally not on good terms with the Great Elder's group. As a result, towards the Great Elder's way of handling things, Lu Xiong felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it, especially when the Great Elder brought up the matter of the Demon Beasts assaulting him.

”It has already been settled, there's no need for Great Elder to remember.”

This was precisely the scene of Lu Xiong and the Great Elder at this moment.

After dealing with the Great Elder, Lu Xiong looked down at the pillars of the various families, knocked on the table, and said: ”Chief Steward, check the number of people, and see if anyone hasn't arrived yet.”

After some investigation, the Chief Steward said to Lu Xiong, ”Reporting to the Patriarch, other than the Third Elder's Third Steward, due to his heavy injuries, everyone else is here.”

As for the third housekeeper being injured, Lu Xiong had already received Lu Feng's explanation. Thus, he did not express too much, but said: ”Since that's the case, then we'll officially meet.
