Capítulo 1495: Chapter 1488: Lu Haoyue’s Phone Call

Hearing the complaints from the two girls about Lu Tianxing, Bai Zhiqing, who had just come down from upstairs, couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Don’t listen to your brother’s nonsense, of course I brought gifts for you. I’ll get them for you right now.”

As she spoke, Bai Zhiqing walked directly to a small suitcase beside her, opened it, and handed a bag to Bai Weiwei: “Weiwei, didn’t you keep mentioning wanting a limited edition LV bag recently? Here you go.”

“Sister, you really know me too well. This is the hottest limited edition LV bag right now, and I was planning to secretly buy one and hide it so Grandpa wouldn’t see! I didn’t expect you to get it for me.”

Bai Weiwei excitedly took the bag and looked at Bai Qiao Mountain, who was sitting on the sofa next to her, saying, “Grandpa, you see, this was bought for me by Sister, not by me.”

Bai Qiao Mountain heard Bai Weiwei’s words and rolled his eyes. What was this talk, making him seem like a dictator at home.

“Sister-in-law, what about mine!”

Mandala was eagerly looking forward to it from the side.

“I prepared yours as well. Look, here’s a necklace I specially had made for you. Do you like it?”

Bai Zhiqing smiled slightly, like performing a magic trick, took out a necklace from the suitcase, not particularly expensive but giving a pleasing feeling. At the lower part of the necklace hung a chibi little girl, and if you look closely, you can vaguely see the chibi little girl was clearly sculpted based on Mandala’s appearance.

“I love it, love it so much. Thank you, Sister Zhiqing.”

Upon seeing the necklace, Mandala immediately showed a radiant smile and gave Bai Zhiqing a kiss on the cheek, eagerly took the necklace and wore it around her neck.

Bai Zhiqing gently smiled, said nothing further, but took out a tea canister from the suitcase, placed it on the coffee table, and said to Bai Qiao Mountain, “Grandpa, this is a gift I brought back from the Lu Family. This is good stuff; it’s tea leaves produced from Qingxin Tea Bamboo, good for longevity if elders drink it every day. In the future, you and Grandma drink a cup of tea every day, it’s very good for the body.”

“Qingxin Tea Bamboo?”

Upon hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Bai Qiao Mountain’s eyes suddenly brightened, picked up the tea canister on the coffee table, opened the lid, took a deep breath, and sighed, “Truly tea leaves from Qingxin Tea Bamboo, this is indeed good stuff. Zhiqing, where did this come from? The Lu Family isn’t generous enough to give such good stuff to you.”

“It was given to me by Grandpa Tianxing. Grandpa, you know Qingxin Tea Bamboo?” Bai Zhiqing looked at Bai Qiao Mountain with some confusion.

“I know, and I’ve even tasted it.”

Bai Qiao Mountain took a deep breath, with a hint of nostalgia on his face: “That was over a decade ago; once, I drank it at an old friend’s place. I still can’t forget that taste; I didn’t expect to see this tea again today and to drink it. I shall call Old Qin later; he used to flaunt having some of this tea in front of me. This time I will make him envious, make him crave.”

Seeing her grandfather childlike, Bai Zhiqing’s face immediately showed a bright smile. She realized this life was what she truly wanted, not expanding Bai’s Group.

Just then, Lu Tianxing’s phone suddenly rang, and he quickly took out his phone to glance at the caller ID, frowning slightly.

“What’s wrong, whose call is it?” Bai Zhiqing saw Lu Tianxing’s expression and asked.

“It’s my cousin’s call.”

Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and said, “Grandpa, I’ll step out to take this call. Also, I brought back a few bottles of good wine from Jiangnan; I’ll drink with you later.”

With that, Lu Tianxing got up from the sofa and went outside, immediately answering the call.

“Cousin, why are you calling me now? What’s up?”

“Tianxing, I heard you left Jiangnan today?”

The sound of Lu Haoyue’s low voice came from the phone.

“Yes, the issues in Jiangnan have been resolved. There’s no point in me staying any longer. Besides, I’ve been in Jiangnan long enough; it’s time to leave.” Lu Tianxing slowly said.

“Why didn’t you stay in Jiangnan, is it because of the rumors outside?”

Lu Haoyue spoke in a somewhat somber voice: “You should know, I have never doubted you because of the rumors outside. To me, you are more suitable for the position of the Head of the Lu Family than I am. If you want this position, I can give it to you anytime. Strictly speaking, doing so is just returning the rightful owner. I just hope you don’t resent the Lu Family, don’t resent Grandpa. No matter what, the Lu Family is always your most solid backing.”

Upon hearing Lu Haoyue’s words, Lu Tianxing sighed slightly and slowly said: “Cousin, you’re joking, you know me well enough. If I resented the Lu Family, do you think I would have stayed in the Lu Family for so long? The so-called rumors are nothing but drizzles to me. Besides, you know my personality, I’m used to being lazy. I don’t like staying in the Lu Family all day managing things; if that’s the case, I’d be bored to death. Cousin, you’re overthinking.”

Speaking of this, Lu Tianxing sighed slightly in his heart. Besides this reason, another reason he didn’t want to become the Head of the Lu Family was because he didn’t want to see the Lu Family members. As the Head of the Lu Family, facing relatives who can abandon everything for the sake of profit, he really feared that he might slap them all to death.

“Tianxing, no matter what, it’s the Lu Family who has wronged you. I assure you, as long as I’m in the Lu Family, the Lu Family will always be your most solid backing.”

Lu Haoyue’s voice was full of gravity, with an undeniable tone.

“Haha, cousin, thank you very much.”

Lu Tianxing did not reject Lu Haoyue; he also did not want to become isolated. Taking a deep breath, Lu Tianxing changed the subject and said: “Cousin, I heard you secretly vowed lifelong commitment with my sister-in-law. When do you plan to invite me to your wedding feast?”

“In a while! We’ll talk after the Lu Family is truly stable, Tianxing. You must come by then.”

“No problem, I’ll definitely be there.”

“I’ll remember then, if you don’t come, don’t blame me for being unkind.”

Lu Haoyue laughed heartily, took a deep breath, and spoke again: “Tianxing, I have something else I wanted to tell you this time over the phone.”

“What is it?” Lu Tianxing asked with a puzzled look.

“The Yang Family has been active these days. According to information sent back by the spies secretly arranged by the Lu Family in Beijing, it’s very likely the Yang Family has allied with the Church. After all, recently in New York, you killed the Holy Son of the Church. The Yang Family and the Church have joined forces, clearly targeting you. You’d better be careful.”

Lu Haoyue’s voice carried an undeniable gravity. Whether it’s the Yang Family or the Church, both are enormous forces, especially the Church’s Pope, rumored to have half a foot into the world of Earthly Immortals. These two forces combined are like two huge mountains for Lu Tianxing, simply insurmountable.

Furthermore, even if Lu Tianxing is not afraid of the alliance between the Yang Family and the Church, once he tears things apart with them, no matter the final outcome is either Lu Tianxing losing or winning, he would benefit nothing.

If Lu Tianxing loses, death is certain. But if Lu Tianxing wins, regardless of whether the Holy Daughter of the Church is killed by Lu Tianxing or something else, ultimately the Church would be furious. Once Pope Edward Newk takes action, Lu Tianxing will undoubtedly die.

“Cousin, I understand. I’ll be careful.”

Upon hearing Lu Haoyue’s words, Lu Tianxing furrowed his brows, a sheen of seriousness flashing across his eyes. Once these two forces unite, they’re definitely not to be underestimated. Even if he can break the stalemate this time, it would only intensify the Yang Family’s desire to kill him.

Moreover, once the Church is confronted, the Netherworld Mercenary Corps would likely face a devastating blow from the Church. Although the Church has always huddled within Vatican and is restrained by members of the Dark Council, once he kills the Holy Daughter of the Church again, Pope Edward would be furious. With the Church’s influence in the West, it’s not difficult to locate the Netherworld Mercenary Corps.

“Hmm, you take care of yourself. I’ll also instruct the spies in Beijing to closely monitor any movements. Be careful, Tianxing. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”

After finishing, Lu Haoyue said no more and directly hung up the call.

Hearing the dial tone on the phone, a gleam of killing intent flashed across Lu Tianxing’s face: “Church, I hope you won’t go too far; otherwise, I don’t mind tearing things apart with you and slaughtering your Holy Daughter along with it. If you have the Pope as your trump card, I’m not without mine. I think the Dark Council would be very interested in knowing your Church’s actions.”

Lu Tianxing muttered quietly to himself, looking up at the azure sky, a bloodthirsty smile curling at the corner of his mouth. Threads of icy killing intent emanated from him, making anyone near him feel a shiver of fear.

Knowing that the Yang Family and the Church would not spare him, Lu Tianxing was well aware, but he did not expect the Church’s Holy Daughter Avril would actually choose to ally with the Yang Family to target him, which greatly surprised him.

To know, when the Church’s Crusaders launched their expedition years ago attempting to enter China, they were met with attacks from Huaxia Martial Artists, and the Yang Family was among the main forces. The feud between the two forces can be considered a blood feud of no return. Now, these two families have chosen to join forces against him, which really took him by surprise.
