Invincible Martial King

"Pa!"    

"The Tang Family is simply going too far. They have not reached the set deadline yet, but they're actually beginning to suppress our industry in Lu Family." Yin Susudai's brows were knitted tightly as faint wrinkles appeared on her face. However, it was unable to conceal her former beauty.    

She held the hot teacup in her hands, but could not feel much warmth. Although Tang Family had been set for five days, they had continued to suppress the industries in the Lu Family three days ago. Until now, some businesses that were already weak had seemingly entered a state where they were unable to continue anymore.    

Moreover, there were several servants leaving the palace consecutively. Now, everyone in the Lu Family was panicking, and she hadn't had a good sleep for the past few days.    

"Susu, I'm back." Lu Zhentian strode like a dragon or tiger. He stood tall and straight, but there was a trace of haze between his brows, causing his resolute face to look even more ancient.    

"Do they agree to it?" Yin Susu asked softly after hesitating for a moment.    

"Wang Family was still willing to borrow five thousand Soul Stone, but I was invited by the other clans without even having the chance to speak."    

"These guys are just a bunch of fence-sitters. They talk about loyalty more than anyone else, but it's useless at critical moments."    

"To think that you were previously so good to them. If we encounter any difficulties, we would all help out with our Lu Family. Let's see what kind of virtue you have now." Yin Susu glared at Zhang Xuan angrily.    

"Madame, this matter cannot be blamed on them."    

"The foundation of Tang Family is too strong, and we are on good terms with several other great powers. Who would dare not to give them face, not to mention some other small clans." Lu Zhentian smiled bitterly. He had expected such an outcome.    

"What do we do now?"    

"Are we really going to give them the vein?" The vein of the mine was not simple at all. It was the very foundation for the Lu Family to establish a foothold here.    

In the future, if his Lu Family possessed the strength to mine the vein, then the wealth he would receive would multiply, and that would be the true treasury, and the trump card for turning over the entire Lu Family.    

If he were to hand over such a trump card, Tang Family would not let him go, and although Lu Family would not disappear, it was very likely that he would lose the opportunity to rise.    

If Lu Chen's Martial Spirit hadn't recovered, they wouldn't have cared about these things. But now that their son's talent was rare, he would definitely become a powerful warrior in the future. Fighters not only needed talent and painstaking cultivation, they also needed a lot of resources to grow quickly.    

Resources were extremely important to a cultivator.    

"The Tang Family is extremely strong and it is difficult for us to contend against them. Also, for Chen's safety, it's fine if we temporarily give them the mines." Lu Zhentian replied after thinking for a moment.    

"I was worried that it wouldn't be as simple as that." Yin Susu was a little worried. In the past few days, her Tang Family had been way too strong, and it seemed that she did not have any plans to negotiate with them.    

"Su Su, don't worry, our Lu Family is not some small family. If they dare not let us go, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will protect you and Chen."    

… ….    

"Pah pah..." What nonsense are you spouting! "    

"There's no need to say such ominous words in the future." Yin Susu glared at him, stopping Lu Zhentian from continuing to speak.    

"Sorry for causing you and Chen to suffer." Lu Zhentian pulled her into his embrace, then sighed and continued, "Last time, Lu Chen was injured by Tang Yao, and I was the one who stopped you from taking revenge. Now that things have turned out like this, people think we should be bullied."    

"Not this time. No matter who, if they dare to hurt you, I will make them pay the heaviest of prices. "    

"Master, Tang Family has sent someone to urge us again …" Wu Hai suddenly came in. The supervisor saw Lu Zhentian and his wife hugging each other and quickly lowered his head. However, a trace of jealousy flashed deep within his eyes.    

"Hurry up and let go." Yin Susu's face was slightly red as she felt slightly embarrassed.    

"They sent people to urge him again?" Lu Zhentian frowned.    

"The time limit hasn't come yet, Tang Family is truly despicable and shameless. Everyday's urging is just to force us to hand over the mine veins. And you call yourself the number one clan in Blue Cloud City. All of her businesses had been suppressed, and she did not receive any income from the Lu Family. Even though Yin Susutian was a calm and steady person, hearing this news, her anger was hard to quell.    

Now, even the transport business had lost its final source of income. The previous time, all of the funds were invested into a single project and the family did not have any cash to support them, so if this were to continue, it would become a problem even if they ate and drank for a few days!    

"Calm your anger, Madam. Right now, the only thing we can do is to continue negotiating with Tang Family." Wu Hai lowered his head and reminded lightly.    

"Negotiation?"    

"I don't think they want to negotiate at all. Otherwise, why would they continue to suppress our Lu Family before the deadline?" Yin Susudai's brows were knitted tightly as she spoke with a slightly angry tone.    

"Zhentian, what are you going to do?" Suppressing her emotions, Yin Susu looked at her husband with her beautiful eyes. Although he had borrowed five thousand Soul Stone from the Wang Family, it was not enough to tide through the current predicament.    

"Since that's the case, we can only give the mine veins to the Tang Family." Lu Zhentian sighed. The mine vein was the capital for Lu Family's transformation. If he had the ability to mine the resources inside it in the future, it would definitely increase his income greatly.    

If they did not make it through today's crisis, most likely their Lu Family would be destroyed in name only. As the Patriarch of the Lu Family, at this moment, Lu Zhentian felt an enormous pressure.    

"Wu Hai, help me make a trip to the Tang Family. Just say that I have already decided on the matter of the mines." After hesitating for a moment, Lu Zhentian instructed.    

"Wait." Yin Susu stepped forward and stopped Wu Hai.    

"Zhentian, are you sure that they will let us go if we give them the vein?"    

"This …"    

"Susu, what do you mean?"    

"What I am worried about is that the Tang Family is so aggressive, I simply do not have any plans to let go of our Lu Family at all. Even if we hand over the mining rights, it is not guaranteed that we will not continue to suppress our Lu Family." A worried expression surfaced on her face as Yin Susu shook her head and said.    

"You're right." Hearing that, Lu Zhentian nodded. Although Yin Susu was a woman, she was extremely meticulous. Many matters regarding Lu Family were previously handled by her personally.    

"Let's find Tang Family for a talk. If the other party just wants the mines, then we can just give them back. But if they refuse to give up, then our Lu Family is not a soft persimmon that anyone can take advantage of."    

"Wu Hai, make a trip to the Tang Mansion. Tell them that we've already decided and have Tang Family send someone here to discuss it." With that, Yin Susu instructed Wu Hai.    

"Understood." After glancing at Yin Susu, Wu Hai left the hall.    

"Zhentian, do you feel that Wu Hai has become a little strange recently?" Yin Susu frowned and asked in a soft voice as she watched Wu Hai leave.    

"Susu, with your reminder, it's indeed a bit strange. In the past, if there were any troubles at the house, he would at least give some advice. This time, he chose to keep it a secret."    

"Could it be that he's still brooding over Wu Qiang's incident?" Lu Zhentian asked subconsciously.    

"Not with his character and loyalty." After hesitating for a moment, Yin Susu asked doubtfully.
