Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 168: Chapter 101: Lu Family Ancestor, The One with Great Destiny! (Reset)_1

Lu Changsheng followed the Fourth Elder to the Lu Family shrine in the deepest part of Qingzhu Valley.

This was his first time visiting the Lu Family shrine.

After all, such a place was considered forbidden territory for the Lu Family, and entry was not normally permitted.

The Lu Family shrine here was very quiet.

The shrine didn’t cover a very large area.

It didn’t look particularly magnificent; it was quite simple.

But it exuded a solemn and ancient air of seriousness.

...
Upon entering the main gate of the shrine, Lu Changsheng saw ancient trees reaching for the sky, and luxuriant jade green bamboo.

In the midst of solemn solemnity, there was a simple and profound feeling of tranquility.

But now, the air of solemnity was shattered by wailing cries.

“Wuu wuu wuu, Dad, Mom!”

“You left and now it’s just me, Yang’er, alone, letting an outsider bully me.”

Lu Changsheng immediately recognized that this voice belonged to Lu Miaoyang.

For a moment, he couldn’t associate this aggrieved voice with the arrogant demeanor of Lu Miaoyang he had seen before.

“That Lu Miaoyang, he’s not brainless at all, he’s completely fearless because he has something to rely on,” Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but lament in his heart.

Before, he thought Lu Miaoyang was a brainless, pampered young master.

But judging from this performance, he felt Lu Miaoyang had the confidence, certain that the Lu Family would be biased in his favor.

“How dare such clamor disrupt the land of our ancestors; it’s utterly disgraceful!”

The Fourth Elder also heard the sound and showed anger on his face.

Then, fearing that Lu Changsheng would worry and overthink, he reassured, “It’s nothing, Changsheng.”

He led Lu Changsheng into the Lu Family shrine.

Inside the shrine, they saw Lu Miaoyang, whose face was swollen and bruised like a pig’s head, his body wrapped in bandages, and a clear bloodstain on his neck.

He looked utterly miserable, clutching a spiritual tablet to his chest and crying loudly.

The sight was enough to sadden the observer and bring tears to the listener.

He was completely unlike the person Lu Changsheng had first met.

“Miaoyang, rest assured, such matters will be handled in accordance with the Family rules, and we will be fair to everyone,”

“Yes, let’s talk this out, stop crying.”

“Everyone is here; what does it look like, making such a fuss?”

A few of the Lu Family elders were comforting and persuading him by the side.

“Alright, Lu Miaoyang, Lu Changsheng is here now.”

“I shall administer justice in front of your parents’ memorial tablet!”

At this moment, Lu Yuanding coughed twice, his expression grave and his voice steady as he spoke.

“Thank you, Family Head!”

Upon hearing these words, Lu Miaoyang stopped crying and thanked Lu Yuanding.

Then he looked at Lu Changsheng with eyes filled with malice.

To think that he, Lu Miaoyang, had been in the Lu Family for so many years and had never been humiliated like this.

“Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoyang claims you came to his door intending to kill him; is there truth to this?”

At this time, Lu Yuanding also looked at Lu Changsheng and spoke sternly.

“Regarding the matter between me and Lu Miaoyang, it is Lu Miaoyang who was in the wrong from the start.”

“He coveted my family’s Spiritual Pets and used his position to oppress my child, and in a fit of frustrated rage, he even attempted to lay a hand on my child, showing the shamelessness of his actions and the maliciousness of his thoughts.”

“Even if he was bitten by my Pet Beasts, it was his own fault!”

“This time, I returned with the intent to resolve matters peacefully, but he was aggressive. In my anger, I acted against him and taught him a lesson.”

“I did not kill him, which shows I still regarded the kinship within our Family. If I really wanted to kill him, he would be dead by now.”

“Moreover, I used my Flying Sword only because Lu Miaoyang had the intent to kill me first,”

Lu Changsheng spoke with a solemn face.

“Nonsense! You had no intention of reconciling!”

“And even if I was the one to resort to the Flying Sword first, it was you who struck first!”

Lu Miaoyang immediately retorted angrily.

After speaking, he pointed to the marks on his face and the bloodstain on his neck and wailed, “Uncle Yuanding, Grandfather Lin, Grandfather Guang, look at my face, and here, this, these were all caused by Lu Changsheng!”

“Dad, Mom, why did you leave Yang’er alone! Wuu wuu wuu!”

Lu Miaoyang cried out miserably.

The other Lu Family elders and the Fourth Elder shook their heads when they saw the two men’s conditions.

Lu Changsheng spoke of the incident with neither humility nor arrogance.

While Lu Miaoyang was throwing a tantrum, being unreasonable, and making a scene, it was apparent who stood higher instantly.

“Lu Miaoyang, be quiet!”

“This matter will be judged according to the Family rules, your unreasonable ruckus will not be tolerated!”

Lu Yuanding spoke sternly.

“Family Head, rather than arguing the complexities of right and wrong, I do not wish to debate further.”

“Although I am not a disciple of the Lu Family, having been with the Lu Family for more than seven years, I consider myself a part of it and am willing to abide by the Family’s rules.”

“Therefore, I ask the Family to adjudicate this matter fairly!”

Lu Changsheng spoke gravely.

He did not wish to debate any further.

Primarily because Lu Miaoyang’s attitude and posture were not worth arguing over.

The opponent was clearly intent on being unreasonable and playing the victim.

It wasn’t like he, too, could start wailing about his years in the Lu Family, could he?

“Very well, if this is the case.”

“I, the Family Head, shall decree a judgment according to the Family rules!”

Lu Yuanding nodded upon hearing this, but he did not immediately announce his judgment.

Instead, he looked at the Fourth Elder, then at the several elders and patriarchs.

Obviously, they were silently deliberating, deciding the verdict of the matter.

During this process, Lu Yuanding and some of the Lu Family elders seemed to hear something astonishing; their eyes showed expressions of surprise, amazement, and shock.

“Regarding the matter between Lu Miaoyang and Lu Changsheng, I, the Family Head, pronounce the judgment!”

Family Head Lu Yuanding spoke out with an authoritative voice.

“Lu Family disciple Lu Miaoyang, for initiating provocation in Qingzhu Valley and fighting with Lu Changsheng, resulting in a dispute, shall be penalized by losing one year’s salary and be confined for three years for self-reflection!”
