Chapter 972: Chapter 969: Do You Really Want Me to Beg You?

Xu Wendong hurriedly said, ”Grandfather, I am your grandson, after all, you are the elder. Just give your orders directly for anything you need, but please don’t use the word ’request,’ it’s really too much for this junior to bear.”

The others also looked at the old man in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

”Actually, it’s nothing major,” Luo Nanhua smiled and said, ”I want you to take your uncles, aunties, and cousins to see the world in the secular realm.”

”Grandfather, why don’t we send a message to my father and let him go see the secular world too? After all, he’s always wanted to see the place where Aunt lived,” Luo Chengxuan laughed.

Xu Wendong knew that the father his second cousin was referring to was his second uncle, Luo Shushi. However, second uncle wasn’t a businessman but held a government position.

Though not very high, he held a position of the fifth grade.

And it was precisely because of him that the Luo Family was able to become the leading force among the four major families in Nanyang City.

Luo Nanhua shook his head, ”Your father is busy with official duties, he probably won’t have the time! No problem, when he comes back, I’ll take him to find you in the secular world.”

Luo Shusheng smiled and said, ”Let’s follow Father’s plan; we’ll accompany Wendong to see the secular world first. When the second brother returns, you all can join us there.”

The Luo family’s business had long reached a point where it didn’t require their intervention, so they didn’t mind following Xu Wendong to experience secular life for a while.

Luo Nanhua smiled and said, ”They say there’s no time like the present; you should set out after dinner!”

Xu Wendong furrowed his brows, ”Grandfather, isn’t this a bit sudden? Don’t you want your grandson to stay with you a bit longer?”

Though not sure what was happening, he had a hunch that Grandfather seemed to be rushing them away.

Luo Shusheng also said, ”Father, Wendong has a point; it’s his first time home, how can you just rush him away? At least let him pay respects with incense for his younger sister!”

Luo Nanhua awkwardly smiled, ”It does seem like that’s the case...”

Boom!

Without warning.

A dull explosion echoed from outside.

The next moment.

A shouting voice came from outside the door, ”Where is the old bastard Luo Nanhua? Get out here and die!”

The sudden shouting left everyone in the Luo family furious, not expecting someone to dare to cause trouble at their home.

But.

A flash of undetectable fear and unease passed through Luo Nanhua’s eyes.

”Grandfather, are you hiding something from us?” Xu Wendong’s brows furrowed tightly, having previously sensed that his grandfather’s urgency in sending him and his uncles to the secular world was strange.

Even if he wanted him to take the Luo family to see the secular world, there’s no need to leave overnight!

And what Uncle said was very reasonable, even if they were leaving, they should at least pay respects to his mother with incense.

He just hadn’t thought it through deeply.

But now it seems.

Things might not be as simple as they appear.

There might be more to this than meets the eye.

Seeing he couldn’t keep things hidden any longer, Luo Nanhua sighed gently, ”I recently received news that a great figure behind the second brother deviated during cultivation and collapsed.”

”So, that great figure’s arch-enemy seized the opportunity to impeach numerous court officials.”

”The second brother was among them, imprisoned on fabricated charges, and it’s said he’ll be publicly executed in three days.”

As soon as he said this.

The Luo family’s living room was plunged into a brief silence, each person’s face filled with shock they couldn’t hide.

They never expected Luo Shushi would end up in prison.

”Grandfather, will Father really be executed?” Luo Lili’s eyes were filled with unease, not wanting her father to be beheaded.

Luo Nanhua looked helpless, ”When even officials of the second grade can’t change fate, what can we do?”

Luo Shusheng fumed, ”The people outside must have learned about the second brother’s arrest; otherwise, even with a thousand lives, they wouldn’t dare cause trouble at our home!”

”It’s said the court is like a battlefield, yet Shushi wouldn’t listen, and now he’s lost his life!” The second aunt weeped inconsolably.

As Luo Nanhua had said before, even second-grade officials couldn’t change fate, and they were truly powerless.

Luo Nanhua looked at Xu Wendong, eyes full of pleading, ”Wendong, I beg you to take the Luo family away, can you promise me?”

Xu Wendong’s heart trembled violently, he could hardly refuse his grandfather’s request, nor did he want to, as it would be an extremely unfilial act.

But he still said, ”Grandfather, there are just three Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators outside, you don’t need to worry about them.”

”Yes, I can help the Luo family drive them off.”

Luo Nanhua clenched his fists, eyes full of anger, ”Do you really want your grandfather to kneel and beg you?”

”Grandfather, please don’t...” Xu Wendong was completely flustered, unsure of how to organize his words.

Luo Nanhua sighed deeply, ”If it weren’t a last resort, I wouldn’t ask you to take the clan to the secular world.”

”If you don’t leave now, when the government issues orders, our Luo Clan will face the fate of being executed unto the ninth degree!”

Luo Shusheng gasped, ”Father, could second brother’s charge be colluding with the Demon Sect Heretics?”

The faces of everyone turned pale, eyes filled with terror.

Luo Nanhua gave a bleak smile, ”Aside from colluding with the Demon Sect Heretics, what charge would warrant execution unto the ninth degree?”

”Wendong, take us away!” Luo Shusheng’s eyes held immense pain; he didn’t want to leave, but given their fate, he had no other choice.

Indeed.

The members of the Luo Clan were always rationalists.

Sometimes, so rational it even amazed themselves.

For instance, at this moment.

If it wasn’t to have the father face the three Foundation Establishment Peak experts, they couldn’t possibly escape.

”Think of leaving? It’s too late!”

Accompanied by a cold voice, an elder dressed in a white robe appeared at the entrance of the living room.

Soon followed by two other Foundation Establishment Peak experts.

These three were the ancestors of the Hu Family, Li Family, and Bian Family, who were listed alongside the Luo Family as the Four Great Families. However, before today, these Three Great Families were extremely wary of the Luo Family.

Every New Year and festival, they would bring lavish gifts to visit.

But now.

The three were filled with killing intent, treating the Luo Family like lambs for the slaughter.

”Wendong, if you truly regard me as your grandfather, take them away right now, immediately!”

Luo Nanhua unleashed a Foundation Establishment Peak aura, like a resurrected lion king, wielding a longsword, rushing toward the three Foundation Establishment Peak experts.

”Do you, an old fool, actually think you can contend against three? Do you have that skill?” The Bian Family’s Foundation Establishment expert sneered, raised his sword to block, then countered with a sweeping offensive move.

Luo Nanhua reacted swiftly, effortlessly dodging the attack, then launched a fierce swordsmanship assault, engaging the enemy.

Luo Shusheng whispered, ”Wendong, we need to leave!”

Xu Wendong’s lips curled slightly, showing an intriguing smile, ”Uncle, do you believe, Grandfather can kill these three in an instant?”
