Chapter 340 - The Lu Clan’s Ancestral Worship Ceremony (1/2)

“A good number of them have their own agenda, and the people are far from united. Hell, many are just outright spies from other cultivation forces! All of them even wanted to seize command of the place when you were not around. If it hadn’t been for your mom here looking after the place waiting for you to come home, you wouldn’t even have a Heavenly Palace to come back to.”

Liu Wanrong glared at Lu Xuan and said.

“What are you doing just leaving those people be and doing nothing about them?”

Liu Wanrong grumbled. There were only two things that she had been busy with while he was away. The first was her focusing on her own cultivation. The other was weeding out all the undesirables from the place.

All those lurking menaces in the Heavenly Palace were finally cleaned out after going about it for quite some time.

Then again, those people were all basically taken out by good old fashion violence given that none of them would have just left the Heavenly Palace unconditionally.

Liu Wanrong lacked her son’s magnanimity. She deemed it of the utmost importance to deal with everyone who threatened her son’s undertaking.

“No matter. Just some clowns who would achieve nothing after all,” Lu Xuan commented casually.

“If they wanted to seize the Heavenly Palace’s command, I’d say let them have it. Besides, they can’t do anything with the place while I’m still around.”

Liu Wanrong glanced at her son and understood what he was thinking about at that moment.

Lu Xuan’s level was so high that he saw those people as being beneath his concern. All the schemes and conspiracies those people could come up with were nothing but jokes to him.

He also probably even harbored thoughts about letting such jokes play out, seeing how many would eventually come at him only to be killed right away.

The death of the president by his hands just a day ago served as a declaration to the world: before absolute and undeniable power, no amount of schemes and conspiracies could amount to more than mere jokes.

All that exercise was just pointless.

“Even so, those people were an eyesore,” Liu Wanrong added.

“People with great ambitions aren’t gonna fret about petty stuff, but you’d still need to be wary about them pouncing on you.”

Lu Xuan sighed and continued, “I initially thought of keeping those people around so to have them help me with widespread propagation of cultivation among the people. I didn’t actually care about the agendas they were cooking up. Oh well, whatever. If you’ve already cleaned those people up for me, then let’s just leave it at that.”

With a serious expression, Liu Wanrong said to her son, “And one more thing. You’re no longer a child, so it’s about time you get yourself a girl. How long has it been already? Even our neighbors already have grandchildren. You’re really embarrassing me here.”

Lu Xuan suddenly felt very awkward.

“Oh well, I’ve pretty much given up after all that has happened anyway. You’re just that kind of guy who refuses to settle down. No matter. Get married, give me a grandchild, then be free to do whatever it is you wanna do,” Liu Wanrong said, looking rather displeased. It was apparent that Lu Xuan’s standing would just drop right away after he got grandchildren for his mother.

He would basically be made an outcast.

He suddenly felt rather pitiful.

He was unable to do anything but chuckle awkwardly at that.

That was the thing that exasperated him the most ever since he was reincarnated.
