However, what Zheng Dalong said next made Chu Cheng’s body shake violently, and an incredulous look swept over his face.

“100 tons of spiritual energy ore, and not one kilogram less. Our Zheng family are businessn, and doing business is all about honesty. I hope you won’t break your word in front of .” Zheng Dalong opened his mouth and spoke up.

Chu Cheng’s face turned bright red. Even his internal organs were all quivering with shock and rage. 100 tons of spiritual energy ore? Did he think that the Chu family was operating a spiritual energy ore mine?

For so families, all of their assets didn’t even add up to 100 tons of spiritual energy ore. Even for a large family like the Chu family, that was still a considerable amount of assets. If he really agreed, the family would skin him alive.

“Senior Zheng, I’m afraid I can’t agree,” Chu Cheng said in a low voice.

“Fine. Since you can’t agree to this request, then I will wait for soone who can.” Zheng Dalong replied arrogantly.

In the next mont, the aura of a War General was released. A domain was ford, and all those who were caught in the domain trembled with fright.

Anyone below a War General was as insignificant as an ant. Even a cultivator at the Great Grand Master level was nothing in front of a War General. However, Zheng Dalong’s eyes revealed a hint of shock when he looked at Lu Yu.

He had released his aura deliberately. On the one hand, it was to intimidate the people of the Chu family. On the other hand, it was for him to get a feel of Lu Yu’s ability.

As a Great Grand Master, Lu Yu still remained calm and relaxed in the face of the aura at the War General level. He was like a deep pool of water with an unfathomable bottom. The aura of a War General was like a pebble that was dropped into that pool of water, setting off only a small ripple.

“Senior Zheng, I need to report this matter to the clan elders.” Chu Cheng, who was so overwheld by the aura of the War General that he could barely breathe, suddenly caved in and spoke up.

Only then did Zheng Dalong withdraw the aura from his body. Just then, another Chu family mber ran over and whispered in Chu Cheng’s ear.

‘What?” Chu Cheng widened his eyes in shock. Then, with an ashen face, he asked, “What is the aide of the capital’s Supre Commander doing here?”

Barely a few minutes later, Sima Yu walked in and greeted Zheng Dalong in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. Although he did not have the powerful aura of a War General like Zheng Dalong, as the trusted staff by Yao Xianming’s side, no one present dared to look down on him.

“May I ask what is the purpose of your visit here, my brother?” Chu Cheng inquired.

“Excuse , Commander Yao asked to co and look for Lord Lu.” Sima Yu said frankly. Then he looked at Lu Yu, bowed his head and said, “Lord Lu, Commander Yao requests for your presence at his wine reception in three days.”

“I got it. Thank you for your trouble. I will definitely be there at the appointed ti.” Lu Yu’s heart shuddered montarily, and then he nodded his head.

The reception was held one day before the confernt ceremony. When Yao Xianming asked Lu Yu to attend his reception, it was clear that there was a more profound intention behind this. It might even be related to the confernt ceremony.

“Then I will take my leave.” Sima Yu cupped his hands respectfully. Then he turned around and left unhurriedly.

Zheng Dalong, who witnessed this scene in its entirety, was astonished. Although he knew that Lu Yu had a military background, he did not expect that his relationship with Yao Xianming was so close. As was well-known, Yao

Xianming was the big shot in charge of the whole capital’s military forces and a War General himself!

Chu Cheng’s frown grew deeper and deeper. Initially, he only planned to agree to Zheng Dalong’s compensation request. Now, it seed that Lu Yu’s compensation was unavoidable.

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes and asked with a laugh, “How now? Have you considered thoroughly the matter of the actual compensation?”

Chu Cheng wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and answered through clenched teeth, “Please allow to report this matter back to my family first.”

Everything could be negotiated, so Lu Yu decided to wait quietly for the Chu family’s reply. He did not believe that the Chu family would not own up. The wait was quite long. By then, Giovanna, Lu Shan, Lu Shui and Jiang Jun had already finished their als.

When she saw that Lu Yu still had not returned, Giovanna gave him a call.

Lu Yu answered the call and said in a gentle voice, “I need to settle so matters. You guys go back first. I will send you the password to the suite that I have booked.”

“Uh-huh. Alright. You take care of your health too. Don’t work too hard.”

Giovanna didn’t ask too much and simply uttered so words of concern.

After ending the call, Lu Yu and Zheng Dalong waited for the Chu family’s news together. Finally, after two hours, the Chu family gave their reply.

“Chu Cheng, you fucking wait for . I’ll co right away!” The mont Chu Cheng answered the phone call, a roar bellowed out from the other end of the line, giving Chu Cheng such a big fright that he nearly dropped the phone onto the ground.

Soon, a luxury sedan ca to a stop at the entrance of the hotel. The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a business suit. His hands were covered with calluses, and his body was brawny and powerful. Beside him a few Chu family mbers stood respectfully, all of them at the Great Grand Master level.

When Lu Yu saw who it was, he was stunned. A peculiar expression spread over his face.

He was not only acquainted with the visitor, but he was also very familiar with him. He was Chu Qinglin, whom Lu Yu had once t in the old district of

Lunan City.

After the major incidents, he had tried to look for Chu Qinglin but found his place empty. So it turned out that Chu Qinglin had co to the Chu family’s residence in the capital.

Looking at this entourage, the number one weapons blacksmith in the Chu family was not rely a simple blacksmith. His status in the Chu family seed to be very significant too.

When he saw Chu Qinglin, Chu Cheng forced an awkward smile and said,

“Uncle Qinglin, you are finally here.”

“Hmph! You useless bum! Always causing problems for . If not for…” Chu Qinglin’s voice began trailing off before he had finished his sentence.

“Brother Qinglin, long ti no see! How I missed you!” Zheng Dalong cupped his hands and said with a hearty laugh. Chu Qinglin was a famous weapons blacksmith, so it was not surprising that Zheng Dalong knew him.

Chu Qinglin gave a scornful snort and replied, “Zheng Dalong, you have quite a big appetite. To think that you had the guts to ask for 100 tons of spiritual energy ore.”

Zheng Dalong laughed heartily and said, “Hahaha… Since Brother Qinglin showed up personally, I shall give you a discount then. I will take 90 tons of spiritual energy ore instead.”

Chu Qinglin’s eyelid twitched once and then he spat. He tossed out an interspatial ring straight away and said impatiently, “Are our Chu family so poor? 100 tons it is then. Keep it safe.”

After accepting the interspatial ring, Zheng Dalong took stock of the contents and was sowhat surprised. It was rumored that Chu Qinglin was not on good terms with the patriarch of the Chu family even though he was a family mber. Now, based on what he saw today, the rumor appeared to be true. However, since the rumor was true, why did he personally make this trip on the Chu family’s behalf?

At this mont, Lu Yu cupped his hands and said with a smile, “Lu Yu hereby pays his respects to Uncle Qinglin.”

Chu Qinglin cast Lu Yu a side glance and replied gruffly, “You rascal. Ever since leaving Lunan City, you have beco so bold that you dared to pluck the whiskers off a tiger’s mouth, eh? Aren’t you afraid that you will get bitten one

Chu Qinglin’s words naturally contained so underlying aning, with a few wake-up calls tossed in for good asure. Lu Yu got the hint, but nonetheless he smiled and replied, “Uncle Qinglin, surely you have wronged ..”
