Chapter 536: Chapter 536: Be a Man
All the guests were stunned!
Lu Yaosheng actually wanted to kill Lu Yanwu!
Even Liu Xu was shocked. He just wanted to conquer Lu Yanwu, but he had never thought about letting Lu Yanwu die.
In the crowd, Murong Mingyue’s face was filled with horror as she yelled, "Stop him quickly!"
She knew that Qin Chuan had a deep relationship with Lu Yanwu. If Lu Yanwu were killed by Lu Yaosheng, Qin Chuan would definitely annihilate the entire Lu Family. Since she was present and didn’t help, she would certainly incur Qin Chuan’s resentnt.
At this mont, she couldn’t care about anything else and shouted loudly, clearly a command to her subordinates.
Indeed, following her order, one of her Half-step King Realm Strong imdiately charged towards Lu Yanwu.
His task was to save Lu Yanwu. As for striking at Lu Yaosheng, he had not yet considered it.
In the Nine Gates of Yandu, which of the nine family heads would be weaker than an ordinary Half-step King Realm Strong?
"Bang!"
The Half-step King Realm Strong from the Murong Family was too late to save Lu Yanwu, and in desperation, he clenched his teeth and charged at Lu Yaosheng.
"Bang!"
At the mont of impact with Lu Yaosheng, a thunderous explosion resounded.
Lu Yaosheng had just swiped a palm towards Lu Yanwu, which landed on a nearby steel reinforced concrete column. With a loud crash, the column imdiately skewed, and the concrete shattered to the ground, exposing the steel rebar within.
Everyone sucked in a cold breath of air. If that palm had landed on Lu Yanwu’s head, how grueso would the scene be?
"Yan Wu, are you okay?"
Murong Mingyue rushed to Lu Yanwu’s side and helped her up, her face full of deep concern.
Tears in Lu Yanwu’s eyes could no longer be controlled, and they trickled down uncontrollably.
Even when Lu Yaosheng was swiping that palm at her, before it touched her body, she couldn’t believe that Lu Yaosheng would actually kill her.
It was only after Murong Family’s strong man bumped Lu Yaosheng away, causing his palm to smash onto a nearby steel reinforced concrete column, that she realized Lu Yaosheng had really intended to kill her.
Was this the great grandfather she had admired since she was a child?
She had never imagined that one day her beloved great grandfather would actually try to kill her.
"Yan Wu, don’t scare . Say sothing, please!"
Seeing that Lu Yanwu was only crying without speaking, Murong Mingyue beca anxious.
"How dare you!"
At that mont, an angry roar echoed throughout the entire banquet hall.
Lu Yaosheng’s face was ferocious as he glared at the Murong Family strong man who had just shoved him, bellowing, "You have so nerve, to raise your hand to
in my own Lu Family’s house."
"Soone, kill this arrogant bastard for !"
With his command, a dozen powerful martial artists surrounded the Murong Family strong man, including two Half-step King Realm Strongs.
Murong Mingyue’s complexion changed drastically as she hurriedly said, "Family Head Lu, as head of your family, to move to kill your own niece is too cruel, isn’t it?"
"I might understand if you were confused by anger and moved to strike Yan Wu, but my Murong Family’s man just stopped you, preventing the ugly scandal of Family Head Lu killing his descendant. Ungrateful is one thing, but to turn against my Murong Family?"
She knew that her words wouldn’t have much effect and might even implicate herself.
However, she was already vying for power within the Murong Family. If she couldn’t even protect her own people, who else in the Murong Family would be willing to help her?
As expected, upon hearing her words, the surrounded Murong Family strong man looked relieved.
"Who told you, I had been confused by anger before I lashed out to kill?"
Lu Yaosheng glared at Murong Mingyue, grinding his teeth as he said, "The Lu and Liu Families have jointly announced that today we would hold an engagent ceremony for Liu Xu and Lu Yanwu. Lu Yanwu disregarded family honor and spoke out of turn; this is a capital offense!"
"I, Lu Yaosheng, am willing to exterminate family ties for justice. Who dares to object? And you, an outsider, dare to interfere in the affaire of my Lu Family?"
Murong Mingyue was stunned for a mont, not expecting Lu Yaosheng to be so shaless. Just because of a refusal to accept the family’s engagent arrangent, he would enact filial extermination?
"Murong Mingyue, shut your mouth!"
Murong Jing suddenly burst out again, his face full of urgency, and after roaring at Murong Mingyue, he hurriedly said to Lu Yaosheng, "Uncle Lu, cool your anger. How could the Murong Family possibly ddle in the Lu Family’s affairs?"
As he spoke, he turned to Murong Mingyue and shouted, "Aren’t you going to apologize to Family Head Lu?"
He kept giving Murong Mingyue aningful glances, signaling her not to court disaster, but Murong Mingyue stared at Lu Yaosheng as if she hadn’t seen the signals at all and said, "As I know, Yan Wu is just your grandniece. Even if soone is to decide whom she should marry, that should be Yan Wu’s grandfather’s concern, not yours. What right do you have to make decisions for her?"
"Do you think I wouldn’t dare kill you?"
Lu Yaosheng glared at Murong Mingyue with murderous intent as he challenged her.
A terrifying aura of lethal intent already enveloped Murong Mingyue. At that mont, she felt a bone-chilling cold rising from the soles of her feet and shooting straight to the Heaven Spirit Cover.
She had no doubt that Lu Yaosheng really dared to kill her, especially now that the Murong Family was without a leader.
After all, aside from Qin Chuan, Murong Mingyue, and a few of Murong Fu’s close confidantes, no one else knew about Murong Fu’s feigned death.
Moreover, in the social circles of Yandu, there had been many rumors circulating; so claid that the Murong Family was about to be kicked out of the Nine Gates of Yandu.
Murong Jing was suddenly frantic, and from sowhere found the courage to rush in front of Murong Mingyue, reaching out to push her head down as he roared, "Apologize to Family Head Lu now! Apologize quickly!"
"What are you doing?"
Murong Mingyue swatted away Murong Jing’s hand and said irritably, "If he wants to make a move, let him try. Otherwise, he really thinks our Murong Family has fallen!"
Murong Jing exclaid angrily, "He will really kill you, don’t you understand?"
Murong Mingyue felt a slight touch of emotion in her heart. Her third uncle might be sowhat foolish, but his heart was in the right place; he was genuinely worried about her.
Murong Mingyue scoffed coldly, fearlessly looking at Lu Yaosheng and declared, "From ancient tis, who hasn’t faced death? Even if I were to die, what of it? If he dares to kill , the Murong Family dares to go to war with the Lu Family!"
"I would like to see if the Lu Family really dares to go to all-out war with the Murong Family!"
As she spoke these words, she was incredibly nervous.
She was gambling that Lu Yaosheng wouldn’t dare kill her.
The Murong Family was only temporarily without a Family Head, not completely fallen. If she were to die at the hands of the Lu Family, how could the Murong Family endure such humiliation?
Sure enough, the killing intent emanating from Lu Yaosheng grew weaker and weaker, and finally, he only said angrily, "The Lu Family does not welco the Murong Family, and now, the Murong Family should get out of the Lu Family’s ho!"
"Yan Wu, let’s go!"
Murong Mingyue grabbed Lu Yanwu and made to leave.
Lu Yaosheng’s voice suddenly ca from behind them, "Today, anyone can leave the Lu Family, but Lu Yanwu cannot!"
Murong Mingyue’s face paled. If the people of the Murong Family left, who could then help Lu Yanwu?
But Lu Yaosheng had already issued an eviction order to the Murong Family, so they had no reason to stay in the Lu Family ho.
Lu Yanwu, eyes brimming with tears, looked at Murong Mingyue and smiled faintly, saying, "Sister Mingyue, don’t worry about . You go!"
Murong Mingyue’s face was full of struggle. Had she tried her best and still been unable to protect Lu Yanwu?
What would happen to Lu Yanwu if she really left? And if Qin Chuan found out, would he bla her?
"No!"
Murong Mingyue suddenly made up her mind, gripping Lu Yanwu’s hand firmly, she said, "Yan Wu, today, Sister Mingyue will stand by your side! If we leave, we leave together!"
After speaking, she turned to Murong Jing and said, "Uncle, you guys go!"
Murong Jing exclaid, "What are you trying to do?"
Murong Mingyue suddenly gave a slight smile, and then a bit slyly said, "Uncle, don’t forget, we’re competitors. If sothing happens to , you should be happy. Don’t worry about ; hurry up and leave the Lu Family!"
"Rubbish!"
Murong Jing angrily retorted, "At ho, we may fight until our heads break for the heir position, but outside, you are still my niece, and no one is allowed to bully you!"
Murong Mingyue was stunned. She had not expected Murong Jing to say such a thing, and her heart instantly felt warm.
Murong Jing suddenly stepped forward, no longer timid, but with a face of indifference, he looked at Lu Yaosheng and declared, "Family Head Lu, if you wish to declare war against the Murong Family, go right ahead!"
"But right now, my niece is going to take her friend with her, and she must! No one is to stand in her way!"
With that, he turned to Murong Mingyue and said, "Mingyue, take your friend and go!"
