Chapter 1104: Chapter 1098: A Calm and Peaceful Night

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Elder Zhou from the Zhou Family didn’t hesitate and agreed, ”No problem, leave it to me. I’ll bring a few elders from the Zhou Family over tomorrow.”

”Thank you, Old Master Zhou. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing headed towards the outside.

”Mr. Lu, I’ve had your car brought over. It’s just outside the villa,” Elder Zhou called from behind.

”Thank you very much.”

Lu Tianxing thanked Elder Zhou and was about to leave with Bai Zhiqing when he thought of something, returned to Elder Zhou’s side, whispered something, and after receiving a response, finally left with Bai Zhiqing.

Once outside the villa, he immediately saw his car, which he had previously left on the roadside, now parked outside the villa.

After getting in the car, Lu Tianxing started the engine without any further delay and drove straight away into the distance.

In the passenger seat, Bai Zhiqing’s expression also became more relaxed as she looked at Lu Tianxing and said, ”Lu Tianxing, you almost scared me to death just now. When I saw the flames lighting up half the sky, I thought you really had a falling out with Lu Haoyue.”

”Honey, acting requires getting into character. If I can’t get into character myself, how can I make others believe it? If Lu Haoyue and I didn’t act convincingly, do you think those old foxes hiding in the shadows would believe it? If no one believes it, all our efforts would be in vain,” Lu Tianxing said with a smile.

”That’s true.”

Bai Zhiqing nodded in agreement. If an actor can’t get into character, how can they make others believe it? These old foxes are cunning; if you can’t deceive yourself, how can you deceive others?

”Lu Tianxing, are you really planning to go to the Lu Family tomorrow?” Bai Zhiqing asked, somewhat worried.

From the conversation between Lu Tianxing and Elder Zhou earlier, she understood that if Lu Tianxing went to the Lu Family tomorrow, it would definitely be extremely dangerous, possibly even life-threatening.

”Of course, I have to go.”

Lu Tianxing said without any hesitation, ”The current situation is beyond my control. I have no choice but to go.”

”Do you really have confidence in succeeding?” Bai Zhiqing asked worriedly.

Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and said, ”Even if I don’t have confidence, I still have to go. The situation in Suzhou has completely exceeded expectations. The longer I stay in Suzhou, the more dangerous it becomes. It’s no longer a matter of whether I want to go to the Lu Family; an invisible force is pushing me into the Lu Family. If I don’t enter the Lu Family, the dangers we face will be far worse than they are now. So, no matter what, I must go, and no one can stop me. Once I successfully enter the Lu Family, it means we are temporarily safe.”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing knew she couldn’t dissuade him.

”Lu Tianxing, I know I can’t persuade you, but I want to go with you tomorrow,” Bai Zhiqing said, looking at Lu Tianxing with deep affection.

”Honey, you...”

”Lu Tianxing, I am your wife. I will always remember the words you said to me: ’Hold your hand and grow old together.’ Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I want to go through it with you.”

Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing with a gentle yet firm tone.

Upon hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, a warmth surged in Lu Tianxing’s heart. He looked at Bai Zhiqing and said heavily, ”Alright, tomorrow we will go to the Lu Family together. Let’s see who dares to stop us! Whoever dares, shall perish!”

Bai Zhiqing gently nodded without saying anything further, and Lu Tianxing drove on with full concentration, lost in thought.

At this moment, Lu Haoyue also returned to the Lu Family Mansion with Lu Chuan.

”Grandpa Lu, your performance just now was brilliant. I almost believed it myself,” Lu Haoyue said, smiling at Lu Chuan beside him.

Although Lu Chuan was just the butler of the Lu Family, within the family, he was more than just a butler; he was also one of them.

”Haha, you flatter me, Young Master Haoyue. I was just following the Old Master’s instructions,”

Lu Chuan replied with a slight smile, ”By the way, Young Master Haoyue, the Old Master is already waiting for you in the study, so I won’t accompany you.”

”Alright, Grandpa Lu, it’s getting late. You should rest early. I’ll head to the study now.”

Lu Haoyue nodded and walked towards the study.

At this moment, the Old Master of the Lu Family sat in the study, deep in thought. Upon hearing the knock on the door, he returned to reality.

The door to the study was pushed open from the outside.

The Old Master of the Lu Family saw Lu Haoyue entering and slowly spoke, ”Haoyue, how did it go?”

”Perfectly,”

Lu Haoyue replied, ”My cousin and I put on a show, plus with Grandpa Lu deliberately siding with me, I believe in a few hours, the news of a feud between our Lu Family and Lu Tianxing will be rampant in Jiangnan. When my cousin comes to the Lu Family tomorrow, all those demons and monsters will definitely emerge.”

”Hmm, do these demons and monsters really think our Lu Family is defenseless? This time, we’ll completely annihilate them.”

The Old Master’s eyes gleamed with a hint of killing intent.

Lu Haoyue paused for a moment and said, ”Grandfather, considering our plan, should we send someone to assist my cousin? I’m concerned someone might try to intercept him en route, and my cousin may not be able to handle them.”

”No need. As long as nobody of middle-stage mythical power acts against him, Tianxing can handle it.”

The Old Master waved his hand, ”I’ll have Lu Chuan keep an eye on things tomorrow. If any strong enemies appear, I’ll deal with them personally. If they’re just early-stage mythical people, we needn’t worry—Tianxing can take care of them. This will also show whether the younger generation of our Lu Family is made of clay.”

”Understood, Grandfather.”

”Alright, Haoyue, it’s getting late. Go rest! If the opportunity arises tomorrow, join forces with your cousin and eliminate all those demons and monsters for me.”

”Grandfather, I can’t wait,”

Lu Haoyue smirked with a bloodthirsty grin, bowed to the Old Master of the Lu Family, and turned to leave.

”Old Master,”

After Lu Haoyue left, Lu Chuan suddenly appeared in the study.

”Lu Chuan, pass on my order for the Lu Family Guards to keep an eye on the Lu Family and find out who is secretly working against Tianxing. Remember not to leak any information,” the Old Master commanded, rising with a cold expression.

”Yes, Old Master, I’ll arrange it,”

”Hmm, tomorrow you don’t need to stay at the Lu Family. Go protect Tianxing. And unless it’s absolutely necessary, don’t interfere. Our Lu Family’s descendants should be able to survive through trials and tribulations, and I trust Tianxing will not need your assistance.”

”Sir, rest assured, as long as I’m alive, no one will harm Young Master.”

Not only the Lu Family, but across Jiangnan, news of the discord between Lu Tianxing and Lu Haoyue spread swiftly. Some watched coldly, some reveled in misfortune, others bore killing intent—reflecting the myriad facets of human nature. Yet, there was no ominous foreboding of an impending storm; this night, Jiangnan remained calm and peaceful.
