Chapter 1384: Chapter 1377: Conflict Arises Again

”Grandpa, I don’t blame you. Don’t speak for now; I’ll have Tianxing find a doctor for you. Rest well, you’ll be alright.”

Seeing Old Master Lu like this, Bai Zhiqing immediately became anxious, her voice trembling to the extreme, tears uncontrollably streaming from her eyes.

”I... I’m fine, Zhi... Zhiqing, I’m... I’m sorry, Grandpa, I’m sorry to you.”

Old Master Lu spoke intermittently, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid. Before he could finish his sentence, his body suddenly shuddered, his face turning extremely flush, and a mouthful of blood spurted out again, landing on the white quilt, resembling plum blossoms, glaringly vivid.

As the blood spurted out, the light in Old Master Lu’s eyes quickly disappeared. His lips trembled as if wanting to say something, but ultimately nothing came out. He slowly closed his eyes, no longer drawing any breath.

”Grandpa.”

”Dad!”

Seeing this, Lu Bowen and the others could no longer control their emotions, kneeling by Old Master Lu’s bedside. The sound of crying immediately filled the room.

Even Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but kneel with Bai Zhiqing and the others, his eyes red, as if the old man really had died.

”Lu Tianxing, you murderer, I’m going to kill you as a burial gift for the old man.”

At this moment, an enraged voice suddenly echoed in the room.

Lu Hongda suddenly stood up from the ground and rushed to Lu Tianxing’s side, grabbing his collar and yelling, ”Lu Tianxing, give me an explanation, a reasonable explanation, why did it come to this? Why did it come to this? Did you kill the old man? Was it you?”

Lu Hongda roared with anger, his eyes blood-red, like a beast, eager to devour Lu Tianxing, seemingly unable to accept the death of Old Master Lu.

”Big brother, what are you doing? Let go of Tianxing, did you hear me? Do you want Dad to die in unrest?”

Seeing this scene, Lu Bowen spoke with a hint of indescribable anger.

”Let him go, Lu Bowen, are you still protecting him now?”

Lu Hongda’s face twisted with rage, shouting, ”Do you know he’s the murderer who killed Dad? When the Grand Elder left, what did they tell us? They said Dad’s injuries were suppressed and wouldn’t flare up in the short term. But now! Why did Dad die? When we left, it was just him and Dad in the room. Now Dad is dead. Tell me, if he’s not the murderer, who is?”

”The eldest is right, he is the murderer.”

Lu Hongda also shouted from the side, ”I think he’s not really Tianzhan’s son, but some bastard from who knows where, clearly here to seize the Lu Family’s inheritance. He’s the murderer who killed the old man. I suggest we immediately have the Lu Family Guards kill him, kill this stray from God knows where...”.

”What did you say? Who’s the bastard? Say it again.”

Lu Tianxing suddenly broke free from Lu Hongda’s grip, releasing a fierce aura without any restraint, directly targeting Lu Gaoyang.

Feeling the sharp murderous intent exuding from Lu Tianxing and the violent aura in his eyes, Lu Gaoyang uncontrollably shivered with fear, feeling as if Lu Tianxing had completely transformed, like a bloodthirsty beast, his blood-red eyes flashing with ferocity, as if ready to kill him in the next second.

Fear slowly erupted, corroding Lu Gaoyang’s heart, filling his forehead with cold sweat, for he truly saw an overwhelming killing intent in Lu Tianxing’s eyes.

”If I hear you say those three words again, I guarantee you won’t see tomorrow’s sun, do you believe me?”

Lu Tianxing looked at Lu Gaoyang, speaking slowly, his voice containing a killing intent as chilling as a cold wind from the Nine Nether Purgatory, making one shiver with cold.

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Lu Gaoyang’s expression changed. He glanced at Lu Hongda, and his face once again contorted with rage, shouting, ”Didn’t you see? He wants to kill me now. He’s the murderer, he’s the one who killed the old man, maybe conspiring with the Yang Family to deal with our Lu Family, seizing our inheritance. He is the killer. I strongly suggest expelling him from the Lu Family.”

”Gaoyang is right.”

Lu Hongda also spoke, righteously saying, ”Lu Tianxing is directly related to the old man’s death. He must give us an explanation, otherwise, expel him from the Lu Family. Our Lu Family needs no one disloyal and unfilial, without integrity. He isn’t fit to be part of us. Moreover, I suspect his rushed trip from Jinling to Suzhou was premeditated, intending to see the old man dead to achieve unspeakable purposes.”

”Big brother, aren’t you going too far with this?”

Hearing Lu Hongda’s remarks, Lu Bowen frowned and said, ”Tianxing is Tianzhan’s son, which is indisputable. Besides, what makes you say Tianxing killed the old man? Could Tianxing, given his abilities, kill the old man?”

”Second brother, I know Lao San once saved your life, and taking care of his son is expected, but now is not the time. Everyone is waiting for the old man to die and then destroy our Lu Family. Yet why did the old man have no issues before, and suddenly, after a few hours alone with him, he passed away? You think this has nothing to do with him?” Lu Hongda coldly said.

”This...”.

Lu Bowen hesitated, uncertain what to think, because Lu Hongda wasn’t wrong. According to the Grand Elder, Old Master Lu wouldn’t have issues anytime soon. Yet, after hours with Lu Tianxing, his internal sword qi suddenly erupted, claiming his life. Combining the two, it seems impossible to say it had nothing to do with Lu Tianxing. Any normal person would be suspicious.

”Tianxing, do you have any explanation?” Dai Shuwen asked, looking at Lu Tianxing.

”Explanation, what’s there to explain? They speak so beautifully, aren’t they just afraid the old man will leave Lu Family’s inheritance to me? I, Lu Tianxing, can live well without the Lu Family. If not for my lineage, I wouldn’t have stepped a foot into the Lu Family, nor set foot in Jiangnan.”

Lu Tianxing suddenly laughed loudly, a mocking gaze sweeping over Lu Hongda and Lu Gaoyang, his eyes settling on Lu Bowen and Dai Shuwen: ”Second Uncle, Second Aunt, thank you for taking care of Zhiqing and me, treating us like family. I have kept this kindness in mind. If one day you need something, just send a message; I will spare no effort to help. Cousin, I leave the Lu Family’s future to you. Haha, maybe you also believe I killed the old man, I have nothing to say, nor do I wish to. No matter how low I am, I wouldn’t kill my own grandfather. Before I leave, I’ll tell you this, beware of some people. A man must stand tall and firm, decide resolutely, and kill when needed. Any hesitation might lead to your death. If it’s an enemy, there’s only one thing to do: kill. No matter who they are, kill until all are terrified, and no one will dare to challenge you again.”
