Invincible Martial King

Suddenly, a Old Servant came in from outside the hall and reported in a low voice.    

"Qiao'er?"    

"Why is she back?" Lu Yuntian remained calm, but a glint flashed across the depths of his eyes. He glanced at the people who were still arguing, then stood up and left the hall.    

"This is the Imperial City's Lu Family."    

Looking at the huge and grand door in front of him, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment before his expression returned to normal. From the start of the Hundred Sects Meeting to now, the words he had heard about the Imperial City's Lu Family were basically words that no longer boasted or declined.    

In Lu Chen's imagination, the Lu Family should be like a withered tree, rotten to the point that no one cared about it and lived in a corner. But after personally seeing the Lu Family door in front of him, it was not as deserted as he had expected.    

The gate was wide and grand, and the two stone lions were as heavy as ten thousand jin, as tall as ten meters. The guards on both sides of the gate were wearing heavy armor, and they were standing tall and straight.    

Powerful.    

Grand!    

"Follow me."    

Lu Qiaoer waved at Lu Chen, and under the respectful gaze of the guards, she directly stepped through the Lu Family door. Lu Chen hesitated for a moment and followed her closely.    

Through his feet, he could feel the dense spirit energy coming from within. Indeed, these were not ordinary jade stones, but white crystal jade filled with the spirit energy of heaven and earth, although it was not particularly rare, but the price of one white crystal jade was equivalent to hundreds of Soul Stone s, so to lay out the length of the hall in such a large number, would require a huge amount of wealth.    

From this, it could be seen just how glorious the Lu Family was back then.    

"That place is our Lu Family's martial ground."    

"Look, this is the Scripture Pavilion of our Lu Family."    

"And on the other side, there is an extremely exquisite courtyard. It is where Lu Family guests will temporarily stay."    

… ….    

Lu Qiaoer was like a meticulous guide as she introduced the various places on the Lu Family to Lu Chen in detail. As she spoke, her face unconsciously revealed a youthful smile.    

"It's actually many times larger than Blue Cloud City."    

Lu Chen's face remained calm, but his heart was filled with a strange feeling. Was this where his father, Lu Zhentian, grew up? Strictly speaking, he had a very close relationship with the Imperial City's Lu Family.    

Unfortunately, he was only here as an outsider this time. Before saving his mother, he had no intention of revealing his true identity so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.    

"Who is that young man?"    

"The young miss actually brought the Lu Family in personally, could it be that the young miss is into her heart?"    

"It shouldn't be possible. What kind of person is Eldest Miss, but how insightful are the students of Dagan Academic Palace?"    

… ….    

Along the way, quite a few servants of Lu Family saw Lu Qiaoer and Lu Chen happily chatting, and they were so shocked that quite a few people nearly lost their jaws. In the past, Lu Qiaoer rarely got close to men. If it wasn't for the patriarch's strict order for Wu Shen, she wouldn't even have gone out with Little Noble Heir from Unparalleled Marquis Mansion, and it was only once.    

"Sister Qiao, who is this person?"    

"You actually brought a man into the manor. How rare."    

"Could it be your lover?"    

Suddenly, a sinister voice sounded out, causing Lu Chen and Lu Qiaoer to turn around at the same time. The two of them saw a young man slowly walking over with a few servants.    

This youth indeed looked very young, and according to Lu Chen's estimation, he should be in his early twenties. He was thin but slender like a javelin, had a sharp eyebrows, a high nose bridge, thin but tight lips, and a pair of flashing eyes.    

"Lu Ziyi, don't speak nonsense."    

"This is a student of mine who is studying at the palace."    

Lu Qiaoer seemed to be slightly disgusted with the newcomer as she curled her lips and said.    

"Student?"    

"He seems to be younger than me. Is he a student of Dagan Academic Palace?" The young man named Lu Ziyi looked Lu Chen up and down as he mumbled in surprise.    

"Sister Qiaoer, I'm not talking about you.    

"It'd be good if you could find someone who's more normal. It wouldn't be good if Eldest Uncle found out that you're interested in this sort of pretty boy."    

"He did his best to facilitate the relationship between you and Unparalleled Marquis Mansion, and now that you brought back a pretty boy, could it be that you want to anger him?" Lu Ziyi joked with a faint smile.    

"Pretty boy?"    

Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh bitterly in his heart. Did he look very handsome?    

"Lu Ziyi, your skin is itchy, right?"    

"He's my friend. We're not what you think." Lu Qiaoer's beautiful eyes sank as she coldly said those words.    

"I was just saying that he was a classmate, but now he's immediately becoming a friend."    

"Sister Qiao, once you have joined the Dagan Academic Palace, you have forgotten all the rules of the clan."    

"Indeed, the sky is high and the birds fly. The sea is vast and the fishes swim freely." Lu Ziyi seemed to deliberately mock Lu Qiaoer as he chuckled.    

"Don't forget."    

"Unparalleled Marquis Mansion is still worried about you. If he knew that you brought your people back to the Lu Family, who knows what kind of crazy things you would do."    

Lu Ziyi glanced at him and continued to laugh.    

"Is that enough?" Lu Qiaoer frowned and said with a displeased expression, "Don't think that I won't dare to make a move on you just because I have Third Uncle's care and love for you."    

"Lu Ziyi, if you dare to speak nonsense again, don't blame me for teaching you a lesson."    

"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."    

"Why are you so fierce?"    

"No matter what, we're siblings." Lu Ziyi shrugged and said helplessly.    

"To think that you knew that we were siblings. If it weren't for you secretly stopping me and forcing me to come into contact with Unparalleled Marquis Mansion and that little Noble Heir, how would things have ended up like this."    

"It's because of sister and brother that I let you go. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, I would have already slapped him!" At this point, Lu Qiaoer's tone became icy cold.    

"Aren't I doing it for the Lu Family?" Feeling the terrifying aura from Lu Qiaoer's body, Lu Ziyi's expression changed slightly, but he still braced himself and said.    

"For the sake of your Lu Family?"    

"He owed a pile of gambling debts, and almost sold his cousin out just for the sake of his Lu Family?" Lu Qiaoer seemed to have thought of something bad and her tone became even sharper. A cold glint flashed in her beautiful eyes and she said coldly, "If it wasn't for Third Uncle's face, I would have expelled you from the Lu Family a long time ago."    

"I'm warning you, from now on you'd better not try to play dumb in front of me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."    

"Why are you being so fierce?"    

It seemed like this was the first time Lu Ziyi saw Lu Qiaoer lose her temper. Although her face was a bit pale, she unconsciously lowered her voice.
