Chapter 1129: Chapter 1122: A Conversation Between Grandfather and Grandson

”Give it to me?”

Lu Tianxing listened to Old Sir Lu’s words with some astonishment and shook his head, saying, ”Forget it, this courtyard looks nice, but it’s lacking in vitality. What I want is not this kind of lonely life, but rather a warm home with a wife and kids. To be honest, if it weren’t for wanting to understand my background and take my parents’ memorial tablets, I wouldn’t have stepped into the Lu Family at all, much less come to Jiangnan. The most ruthless is the imperial family; I don’t want to one day turn against this imperial family for fear that one day I might personally destroy this family.”

”Do you hate me?” After hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Old Sir Lu’s body trembled slightly, and he spoke with a somewhat shaky voice.

”Is there any use in hating you? Hating you won’t bring my parents back to life. Besides, you didn’t do anything wrong. For my father, you withstood everyone’s pressure and gave up all the Lu Family’s influence in Beijing, and you even fought your way into the capital with a single blade to avenge him, willing to make enemies of the world. Such actions, if it were someone else, I doubt many would be able to achieve that. You’ve done so much; what is there for me to hate you for.”

Old Sir Lu was stunned; he had not expected Lu Tianxing to say such things.

Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and said calmly, ”This is precisely why I don’t want to come to the Lu Family. Within the family, I see very little familial affection; all there is is deception and betrayal. I’m not worried about external threats; I’m most afraid of my own family stabbing me in the back.”

”Aren’t you afraid that I’ll become angry out of shame when you talk to me like this?” Old Sir Lu looked at Lu Tianxing curiously.

”Even if you get angry out of shame, it won’t do you any good. As I said before, if I’m determined to leave, you might not be able to stop me. If I were to die, I believe that within a year, the Lu Family would vanish from this world, leaving no one behind as my burial companions. Moreover, if you act against me, it means I’ve struck a nerve with the Lu Family. In that case, once I leave the Lu Family, I’ll never step back in for the rest of my life.”

”You’re the first one to dare speak to me like this. Even Sima Lingyun’s master didn’t dare to speak to me this way back then.”

”If you don’t mind, I can speak to you like this often in the future.”

Old Sir Lu’s face stiffened: ”You’re not afraid of me?”

”If one has to be afraid of one’s own relatives, then you’re not a qualified person. If one’s actions make even their loved ones fearful, that’s the most failed life. Moreover, I believe that the person who charged into Beijing with a single blade for his son back then isn’t a narrow-minded person.”

As he spoke, Lu Tianxing took a cigarette out of his pocket, lit one for himself, and offered another to Old Sir Lu: ”Would you like one, sir?”

Old Sir Lu glanced at Lu Tianxing and did not refuse, taking the cigarette and placing it in his mouth. With a slight movement of his fingers, a wisp of flame appeared on his fingertip, directly lighting the cigarette like a lighter.

Seeing this, Lu Tianxing’s eyes lit up, and he said with admiration, ”This ability is really great. Sometimes you don’t even need a lighter to light a cigarette. It’s like having a gas stove when camping outdoors or something.”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Old Sir Lu’s face stiffened, looking at Lu Tianxing with a wry smile. The renowned Lu Family technique, the Nine Heavens Leaving Fire Technique, was reduced to a mere substitute for a gas stove in Lu Tianxing’s eyes. Didn’t he know how many people in the Lu Family longed to learn it but never had the chance or the qualification to do so?

”What’s there to admire? Do you want me to teach you?” Old Sir Lu said to Lu Tianxing with a smile.

”No need, my cultivation technique is no worse than the Nine Heavens Leaving Fire Technique.” Lu Tianxing waved his hand dismissively.

Old Sir Lu smiled and didn’t continue the conversation, instead gesturing for Lu Tianxing to sit on the chair next to him.

”Sir, thank you for standing by me today.” Lu Tianxing looked at Old Sir Lu and said.

”You’re my grandson; of course, I stand by you. I’ve already made one mistake, and I don’t want to make a second one. I may not be able to be a good father, but I hope to be a good grandfather.”

Old Sir Lu took a deep breath and looked at Lu Tianxing, saying, ”What do you plan to do next? Do you want me to send the Lu Family Guards to destroy the Liang Family?”

”Sir, you don’t need to get involved in this matter. There are many in the family who don’t want me to return, and if you help me, people will inevitably gossip. Since it’s a matter I stirred up, I’ll personally handle them.” Lu Tianxing refused Old Sir Lu’s suggestion.

”Let’s see who dares!”

Old Sir Lu widened his eyes and said dominantly, ”You’re Lu Tiankuang’s grandson; if anyone dares to gossip, I don’t mind letting them test whether the blade in my hand is sharp.”

Hearing Old Sir Lu’s words, a trace of warmth emerged in Lu Tianxing’s heart. He could hear Old Sir Lu’s concern for him: ”Sir, rest assured, it’s just the Liang Family; I don’t even consider them a threat. Destroying them is a piece of cake; today, I’ll make sure they vanish from Jiangnan entirely.”

At this point, an icy, bone-chilling glint flashed in Lu Tianxing’s eyes. He hadn’t intended to act against the Liang Family, but since they dared to kidnap Bai Zhiqing, they must pay the price. Moreover, he didn’t want to be schemed against constantly.

”Since you’ve decided, go for it then!”

Old Sir Lu looked at Lu Tianxing and said seriously, ”If you encounter trouble you can’t resolve, I’ll step in to help.”

”Thank you, sir.”

”Sir, won’t you call me grandfather yet?”

Old Sir Lu looked at Lu Tianxing and sighed slightly.

Lu Tianxing was slightly startled and smiled lightly: ”Grandson Lu Tianxing pays respect to grandfather.”

”Hahaha...!”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Old Sir Lu burst into laughter. It had been a long time since he had laughed so heartily.

Lu Tianxing didn’t stay long in the backyard. After chatting with Old Sir Lu for a while, he left the backyard.

Just as he left the backyard and returned to the main hall, Lu Tianxing spotted Lu Haoyue and inquired, ”Lu Haoyue, where’s Liang Shidao?”

”Over there.”

Lu Haoyue pointed to the center of the main hall, where a figure lay curled up on the ground, already unconscious, looking rather wretched, with none of his former elegance, appearing no better than a beggar.

”Have you crippled his martial arts?”

Lu Tianxing glanced at Liang Shidao, his eyes devoid of any pity. From the moment Liang Shidao dared to scheme against him, he was already a dead man. If he dared to plot against him, he should have the courage to bear the consequences.

”His martial arts were crippled, along with his limbs. Daring to plot against my Lu Family, he’s truly courting death.”

Lu Haoyue coldly looked at Liang Shidao and said, ”Lu Tianxing, what are you planning to do next? Do you want me to lead people to flatten Zhao Wuji’s family?”

”They’re just a bunch of scattered dogs; there’s no need to bother with them. Besides, didn’t Sima Lingyun say? He will handle those families.”

Lu Tianxing shook his head and said, ”The most urgent task is to destroy the Liang Family. To be safe, I’ll take Liang Shidao to the Liang Family. This time, let’s annihilate the Liang Family completely.”

”Do you need my help? The old master of the Liang Family is a middle-stage mythical-level expert. With your strength, it would be hard to deal with him, not to mention there are several middle-stage mythical-level elders in the Liang Family as well.” Lu Haoyue said seriously.

”No need, you just help me send Zhiqing back to the hotel. The mere Liang Family can’t do anything to me. Since I dare to go, I can definitely ensure my own safety; no need to bring help.”

Lu Tianxing shook his head and walked straight ahead, grabbing Liang Shidao as if he were picking up a small chick, and walked out.
