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

Chapter 885: Chapter 321: Brothers Conversation, Stirring from All Directions!

White Tiger Mountain.

Inside a great hall.

Disciples of the Lu Family gathered together, discussing the battle that took place today.

Although they hadn’t done much themselves, the events of the day still brought them a great shock and made them realize the cruelty of the Cultivation World.

“Brother, when did you break through to the Energy Refinement Late Stage!”

At this moment, Lu Caizhen saw her brother Lu Quanzhen return and immediately went up to him, quietly asking with excitement.

...
She knew that her brother worked very hard on his cultivation every day.

But she hadn’t expected her brother to be so formidable.

“Quanzhen, you’ve broken through to the Energy Refinement Late Stage!”

“Brother Quanzhen, you must have reached the Eighth Level Energy Refinement now, right?”

“Brother Quanzhen, you just let the Zhao Family go; what if they renege later and harbor thoughts of revenge?”

Other disciples of the Lu Family also spoke up when they saw Lu Quanzhen.

The highest cultivation among these people was Sixth Level Energy Refinement.

Advancing from the Sixth to the Seventh Level was a significant barrier!

With their Spiritual Root Talent, breaking through this barrier would take a lot of time and possibly even require Elixir Medicines.

However, the strength Lu Quanzhen demonstrated today was clearly not just breaking through to the Energy Refinement Late Stage.

Especially in the previous battle, Lu Quanzhen not only displayed a strength far above their own but also faced danger without fear, commanding a Second Rank Puppet to fight together with a Nine Netherhound against a Second Order Monster Beast. His image grew immensely formidable in their minds.

“Hehe, I had some opportunities when I was out, so I luckily made a breakthrough.”

“As for the Zhao Family matter, don’t worry.”

Lu Quanzhen smiled at his younger brothers and sisters, not saying much more.

After all, his actions were not exactly righteous.

But some thought of how long Lu Quanzhen had been away before returning and began to speculate, looking at him with increased admiration.

“Brother Quanzhen, you’re back; I’ve already roughly gathered the current information about the Zhao Family situation.”

At this time, Lu Yun, along with Lu Ruyi, Lu Xiaoru, and a few others returned and immediately spoke upon seeing Lu Quanzhen.

Although he was the Patriarch of the Lu Family, they were all brothers and sisters, so there was no undue authority.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng had said, the matter of White Tiger Mountain was under the full responsibility of Lu Quanzhen, so even though he was the Family Head, he wouldn’t interfere too much.

“Thanks for the hard work, Brother Yun.”

Lu Quanzhen showed a slight smile.

Because Qu Zhenzhen and Lu Miaoyun were very close, he and his siblings were quite close with Lu Yun and his siblings on a normal day.

The two went to a side hall.

Lu Quanzhen took the scroll and flipped through it, casually asking, “Brother Yun, do you have any suggestions for how we should handle the Zhao Family?”

“Brother Quanzhen, you’ve always been better than me in these matters, you can make the decisions yourself.”

Lu Yun spoke directly.

He knew Lu Quanzhen was better than him at handling affairs.

His own election as family head was entirely due to his father considering his mother Lu Miaoyun and Qingzhu Mountain.

“We’re just brothers talking, and besides, you’ll have to take over the affairs of White Tiger Mountain sooner or later.”

Lu Quanzhen said softly with a smile.

He had long been disinterested in family affairs, only wanting to focus on his cultivation and break through to the Foundation Establishment.

But after meeting his uncle Qu Changge, he saw a much broader world!

He knew the Cultivation Realm of Jiang Country was too small.

He had to set his sights higher, looking at the entire Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm!

Only by doing so could he fulfill the agreement with his uncle, to form a High-Quality Golden Core within a hundred years!

“Now that the Zhao Family has submitted to our family, the next step naturally is to stabilize the situation with the Zhao Family, ensure their loyalty…”

“In this period, we also need to draw in some people from the Zhao Family. I saw that apart from the main lineage, they have two other lineages…”

Lu Yun’s face showed some hesitation as he spoke.

“Exactly, it’s about elevating the collateral branches over the direct lineage, the side branches over the main lineage. For a family like the Zhao Family, where the side and collateral branches are usually overlooked and lack a sense of belonging, as long as we give them some incentives, they’ll be willing to be our dogs.”

Lu Quanzhen said with a smile, “But Brother Yun, strategies for power ultimately aren’t honorable; in this world, only true power is the supreme rule.”

“Just like the Zhao Family’s vassal submission to our family, they fear father, Aunt, Uncle Li, and Jiuyou.”

“So, we need not spend too much effort on the Zhao Family, to stabilize their situation, make them loyal.”

“As long as father is here, all our aunts are here, the Zhao Family wouldn’t dare harbor any crooked thoughts, they can only obediently be our dogs.”

“If you’re in a good mood, then you reward them with a few bones; if they dare to disobey, or do things sloppily, just kill them outright; after all, there are plenty of Zhao Family members willing to be dogs.”

“Remember, petty people only fear might, not kindness; the more polite and accommodating you are, the more they’ll test your limits and take advantage.”

Lu Quanzhen looked at the information on the Jade Scroll, speaking nonchalantly.

“Fear of might without respect for virtue…”

Lu Yun was stunned, then his face showed realization, and he followed with a bit of embarrassment, “Brother Quanzhen, I understand what you mean, but if this spreads and other families hear about it, won’t it affect our family’s reputation.”

“Brother Yun, it’s the same old saying, true power is the supreme rule.”

Lu Quanzhen looked up and smiled, “With father, all our aunts here, what can other families dare gossip about? Even when it comes to reputation, was our family’s reputation great when we seized Bihu Mountain from the Yu Family, or now as we take down White Tiger Mountain? How could such a thing matter compared to others?”

“These kinds of things others won’t even dare to gossip about; how could they care about such insignificant matters? As long as our family is powerful, no matter what we do, there will always be people who praise us.”

Lu Quanzhen said this and patted his younger brother’s shoulder.

He knew that Aunt Lu Miaoyun had been the main mother in the family earlier, managing all the large and small affairs in the back court and had not disciplined Lu Yun enough.
