Chapter 1079: Chapter 1073: What Happened Back Then

”I don’t know.”

Zhou Chengtian shook his head and, seeing Lu Tianxing’s suspicious gaze, sighed and said, ”Mr. Lu, I truly don’t know. After all, your father made too many enemies back then. There were countless people who wanted him dead.”

Lu Tianxing frowned, ”What do you mean?”

Zhou Chengtian took a deep breath and said, ”Your father made too many enemies in Jiangnan. When he became the heir of the Lu Family, he actually wanted to change the destiny by himself, rectify the chaos, and hoped to see a clear sky in Jiangnan. Mr. Lu, I think you understand one thing: since ancient times, where there is darkness, there is light. But your father naively thought he could eradicate all darkness by himself. Wasn’t he trying to cut off people’s livelihood?”

”Since ancient times, cutting off someone’s livelihood is akin to killing their parents. You can imagine how many enemies your father made back then. In the things I know, just the assassination attempts on your father were at least several hundred times. It wasn’t until he broke through to the Mythical Realm and with the Lu Family’s iron-fisted suppression that these assassination attempts gradually decreased. But it cannot be denied that those people behind the dark forces must have hated your father to the core.”

Listening to Zhou Chengtian’s words, Lu Tianxing was somewhat shocked. How had he not realized his father was this audacious, wanting to sweep away all darkness and clear the skies? Although he didn’t know much about the situation back then, one thing was unquestionable: Lu Tianzhan’s actions definitely offended many Jiangnan figures of power and influence.

Seeing Lu Tianxing’s expression, Zhou Chengtian continued, ”Had your father stayed peacefully at the Lu Family, he would have been absolutely safe with no one daring to kill there. But because your grandfather did not permit him to do so, he left for Beijing in anger, thus meeting your mother. After that, I don’t need to say more. It’s evident, Mr. Lu, that the incident where your father killed the playboys was less about their jealousy over your father winning the beauty, but more about someone not wanting to see your father alive and scheming against him in the dark. Otherwise, what power would dare provoke the Lu Family at the time? After all, the Lu Family was a prominent top family in Beijing.”

”Which family plotted against my father?”

”I don’t know.”

Zhou Chengtian shook his head and said, ”The events in Beijing back then were completely erased by an unseen force. All documents and even photos related to your father were entirely destroyed. Even those playboys who survived the scheming against your father died in various accidents. I don’t know about the events of those years, but there was definitely one family that took part in the ambush on your father.”

”Who?”

Lu Tianxing’s eyes immediately turned cold.

”The Yang Family. When your father entered Beijing, Yang Naichao, the Yang Family’s genius, had a conflict with your father and was crippled by him. At that time, Yang Naichao was the Yang Family’s most outstanding genius, most likely to reach the Earthly Immortal’s supreme realm. But he was crippled by your father and became a useless person. Back then, the Yang Family declared they would make your father pay the price. If the mastermind against your father wanted to make a move, the Yang Family would surely act.”

Beijing Yang Family!

Hearing these words, Lu Tianxing’s eyes immediately flashed with killing intent. It seemed the Yang Family truly couldn’t be left alone.

Bai Zhiqing, beside him, was breathing heavily, wondering how she hadn’t realized that coming to Suzhou this time would be fraught with such danger, even having to confront the whole Jiangnan and powerful families in Beijing. Had she known, she would have stopped Lu Tianxing from coming to Jiangnan at all costs.

”Mr. Lu, that’s all I know. If you want to know more, you can only ask your grandfather.”

”I understand. Thank you, Elder Zhou.” Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and said.

”You’re welcome, Mr. Lu. If you need anything in the future, just come to me, the old man. If there’s nothing else, I won’t disturb the young couple anymore.”

”Take care, I won’t see you out.”

Zhou Chengtian gave Lu Tianxing a deep look, then turned and walked outside.

As Zhou Chengtian left, Zhou Sihao and Zhou Siyu, who had been waiting outside, immediately came forward.

”Grandfather, how did it go?” Zhou Sihao hurriedly asked.

”It’s been dealt with. Remember, from today onwards, don’t provoke him again, and you, Si Yu, this time I put aside my pride to plead for you. If there’s a next time, don’t blame me for enforcing the family rules.” Zhou Chengtian’s gaze swept over Zhou Sihao and Zhou Siyu as he said sternly.

”Yes, grandfather, we understand.”

Zhou Sihao and Zhou Siyu both nodded.

”Good that you understand, let’s go!”

Zhou Chengtian waved his hand, motioning Zhou Sihao and Zhou Siyu to leave. He turned back to glance at Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing in the restaurant, murmuring to himself, ”Winds are rising in Jiangnan. Back then, Lu Tiankuang and Lu Tianzhan wreaked havoc in Jiangnan. Now it’s the turn of Lu Tianzhan’s son. I wonder how many families will disappear this time.”

In the hotel restaurant.

Bai Zhiqing watched Zhou Chengtian leave and looked at Lu Tianxing worryingly, ”Lu Tianxing, was what the Elder Zhou said just now true?”

Lu Tianxing withdrew his gaze and said, ”There’s an eighty to ninety percent chance that it’s true.”

”Then... aren’t we in great danger in Suzhou? If those families know you’re from the Lu Family, they definitely won’t let you go and will do everything to kill you. Shouldn’t we leave Suzhou? Let’s not go back to the Lu Family. I don’t want you to get hurt,” Bai Zhiqing said softly, looking at Lu Tianxing.

”Leave?”

Upon hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Lu Tianxing smiled wryly and said, ”Honey, you’re being too naive. When I stepped into Suzhou, I was already in this situation, and there’s only one path ahead—to enter the Lu Family. Otherwise, leaving now is useless because those hidden masterminds won’t allow me to leave. If I leave Suzhou now, the journey will surely be full of dangers. They won’t let me return to Modu alive.”

”But...”

”Honey, trust me, I’ll be fine.”

Lu Tianxing turned to look at Bai Zhiqing, solemnly saying, ”Honey, I promise to protect myself and give you a grand wedding.”

”Okay, I believe you.”

Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing and nodded firmly, ”If you live, I will live with you; if you die, I will accompany you.”

”Alright, honey, don’t be so pessimistic. It’s not easy for them to kill me. Let’s finish breakfast and then continue exploring the Suzhou Garden and the surroundings.” Lu Tianxing gently adjusted Bai Zhiqing’s hair at her temples, smiling as he spoke.
