"What’s wrong, Old Man Song? What happened?"
Seeing the sudden change in Song Yan’s expression, Mr. ng also seed to have thought of sothing, and couldn’t help but ask.
"Yes, the nutritionist committed suicide."
Song Yan nodded, initially responded lightly, then after thinking for a mont, he continued, "I don’t know what secrets he held, but when our people arrived, they happened to see him dead in his room, and it looked like he had died not long ago."
"Hiss—"
Hearing Song Yan’s explanation, Mr. ng imdiately gasped sharply.
He knew that this matter was now a bit troubleso.
Not to ntion who was really behind the nutritionist, or why they would secretly harm Mr. Qiu.
Just the fact that the nutritionist committed suicide to keep a secret indicated that the people behind him were definitely not simple.
"The nutritionist committed suicide? What exactly happened?"
By this ti, Mr. Qiu had also realized that sothing was wrong, and with a slight frown and a skeptical expression, he looked at the two elders.
Song Yan and Mr. ng exchanged a glance, but in the end, they did not hide it and told Mr. Qiu the real reason behind his illness.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Qiu’s brows furrowed sharply.
Then he suddenly let out a cold huff, his tone slightly angry, "The Lv family has beco increasingly lawless. I only rejected so of their proposals back then, and they actually had soone deal with secretly."
As he said this, Mr. Qiu suddenly began to breathe heavily, obviously quite agitated at the mont.
"Elder Qiu, what exactly is going on? What proposals from the Lv family did you reject? Could it be that the person behind your nutritionist is from the Lv family?"
Seeing Mr. Qiu in this state, Song Yan stepped forward imdiately, grabbed Mr. Qiu’s wrist, and injected a stream of True Qi into his body, while asking with a heavy and concerned tone.
"Hmph! It’s that good grandson of Lv Bahu, Lv Wenshuai. He took a liking to our Ruoxue and wanted to engage in a marital alliance with my granddaughter. I rejected him then."
"And he threatened , telling that I was already getting on in years, and so matters I should not ddle in too much, or else it would be easy to fall ill."
"Now that I think about it, my illness is most likely their doing."
Supported by Song Yan’s True Qi, Mr. Qiu’s breath finally began to stabilize.
But the words he said now suddenly made everyone present’s heart skip a beat.
Especially Qiu Ruoxue, she never imagined that her grandfather’s previous illness was related to the Lv family.
Luckily, she had not agreed to her uncles’ proposals to marry into the Lv family, otherwise...
Thinking of this, Qiu Ruoxue felt both angry and frightened, and her face instantly turned exceptionally cold.
"Hmph! The Lv family is simply disgusting. Grandpa, I will lead people to deal with the Lv family right now."
Qiu Ruoxue suddenly stood up, her face full of evil Qi, and she was about to walk out of the sickroom.
However, before she could leave the sickroom, three aged reprimands suddenly rang out at the sa ti.
"Ruoxue, stop!"
Only to see Song Yan, who at so point, had already blocked the door of the sickroom, his expression serious and stern.
Looking at the other two elders, their expressions were almost the sa as Song Yan’s.
"Grandfather, you all...?"
Qiu Ruoxue looked puzzled. She didn’t understand why her grandfather, who was clearly targeted by the Lv family, was still being stopped by the three elders.
Given that these three elders held significant weight not only in Tiannan Province but throughout Huaxia, was there anything that could make them so cautious?
"Ruoxue, there are so things that you may not fully understand, but the Lv family, on the surface, is not as simple as you think."
Song Yan slowly shook his head and then looked towards Elder Qiu.
"Elder Qiu, it would be better if you explained these matters, and also let Zhu Fei, our young friend here, know. Since he has saved you, this matter might sohow be connected to him in the future."
At that mont, the expressions of Song Yan and the other two elders made Zhu Fei slightly shiver inside.
He knew that Song Yan was not only the head of so special departnt, but also an Elder of Chunqiu Pavilion and a Mid-stage Power Realm Ancient Martial Artist.
The fact that he was taking it so seriously probably ant that the Lv family was indeed extraordinary.
"Ah..."
Elder Qiu suddenly let out a long sigh, then he looked towards Zhu Fei.
"Zhu Fei, my young friend, I truly apologize for this. I never expected that my illness would be related to the Lv family. I’m afraid it might trouble you in the future."
"Hehe, Elder Qiu, there’s no need for such words. Since Ruoxue is my friend, her matters are mine as well. Feel free to speak freely about anything," Zhu Fei said, suddenly laughing freely and looking at Elder Qiu with an exceptionally calm gaze.
He had thought it through; if he was to face troubles or entanglents later on, then he, Zhu Fei, would just handle it. There was nothing to fear.
After all, he wasn’t just an ordinary person. What kind of situations or troubles hadn’t he experienced in his previous life?
Even though his cultivation was not very high now, he was not afraid at all. Was the Lv family possibly a super Cultivation family?
"Really?"
Seeing Zhu Fei’s reaction, Elder Qiu was first stunned, then a look of appreciation appeared in his eyes as he gazed at Zhu Fei.
He hadn’t expected that this young man, who had saved him and appeared to be under twenty, would possess such composure.
Facing possible future troubles or even dangers, he was still able to remain calm and unfazed.
Elder Qiu nodded slightly and then said, "The Lv family is an Ancient Martial Arts family, and among their mbers, there are also people who hold important positions in our country’s special departnt."
After a brief pause, Elder Qiu continued, "Moreover, based on what we old n know, in the Lv family, there are at least three Martial Artists above the Power Realm."
"Three Martial Artists above the Power Realm?"
Zhu Fei’s pupils suddenly constricted. He hadn’t expected the Lv family to be truly so formidable.
A family having three Power Realm Martial Artists at its helm, and according to Elder Qiu, this estimate might even be conservative.
No wonder, even soone with the cultivation and status of Song Yan had to tread carefully around the Lv family.
With this in mind, Zhu Fei suddenly bowed to Elder Qiu and then said,
"Elder Qiu, forgive my audacity, but if I’m not mistaken, your status in Huaxia must also be quite high? With the Lv family treating you this way, do you really have no way to deal with them?"
