480: Chapter 450 Since You Want to Fight, I’ll Accompany You to Fight_1 480: Chapter 450 Since You Want to Fight, I’ll Accompany You to Fight_1 Zhu Shaolei was left speechless, as bold as he might be, he dared not bla Old Mrs.
Zhu for anything, and now he didn’t know how to retort to Lu Chuan.
“I…
How could I possibly bla Grandmother?
I’m worried that this is so trick you’re playing, deliberately ruining my jade!”
Lu Chuan’s mouth curled up slightly, indeed it was a trick he had played.
The jade that now hung around Old Mrs.
Zhu’s neck was still the fake one.
The reason it had burst forth with rich Spiritual Energy was simply that Lu Chuan had laid a small Spirit lding Array Formation within the jade in a very short ti and infused so Spiritual Power into it.
It was the Formation and Spiritual Power that made this piece of jade temporarily into a precious jade with astonishing effects.
However, this effect wouldn’t last long; if the old lady wore it for too long, she would discover the problem.
In order for the fake jade to truly beco a precious jade of inestimable value in the eyes of common people, Lu Chuan had concocted a story about his jade having the power to absorb the energy of other jades of insufficient quality.
He then used a Spell to transfer the Spiritual Energy from the real Warm Sun Jade in Zhu Shaolei’s hands into this fake jade.
The Warm Sun Jade’s miraculous effects were due to it absorbing the essence of the sun and moon over the years, developing Spiritual Energy within it.
One could say that wherever the Spiritual Energy was, that was where the real jade lay.
Therefore, the fake jade that Old Mrs.
Zhu was wearing had now beco real jade; there was no longer any need to worry about the effects fading and raising suspicion.
Old Mrs.
Zhu’s face revealed a happy smile, quite satisfied with the jade she wore around her neck.
She said to Lu Chuan with a laugh, “I never expected that you really didn’t deceive .
This precious jade really shows its miraculous effects only when worn by the right person.
Could it be that I, this old woman, am truly blessed?”
Lu Chuan imdiately clasped his hands and smiled, “Grandmother’s blessings are as vast as the heavens.
If it were not for your fortune protecting the Zhu family, how could it have developed to its current state?
The reaction of this precious jade says it all!”
Those around were astonished by the magic of Lu Chuan’s jade.
They never thought he wasn’t just boasting.
The precious jade he gave to the old lady turned out to be even more magical than Zhu Shaolei’s Warm Sun Jade.
Hearing him praising the old lady, everyone quickly joined in the chorus, echoing his sentints.
Zhu Keren, however, looked at Lu Chuan with disbelief.
She had thought that today she would surely disappoint Grandmother and was ready to bear all consequences, but she never expected her husband, who was often considered ineffectual, to turn the tide and change the situation entirely.
Not only did he avoid disappointing her Grandmother, but he also made her beaming with joy, which was beyond her expectations.
“How on earth…
did he manage it?”
After admiring the precious jade around her neck for a while longer, Old Mrs.
Zhu looked up at Zhu Keren and Lu Chuan and said with a smile, “It seems I have misunderstood you two.
It is all Shao Lei’s fault for not listening to you explain the special characteristics of the jade and calling it fake, almost causing a misunderstanding of your intentions.
I should have this boy apologize to you both.”
Zhu Shaolei, finding himself to be the scapegoat, was imdiately displeased, but didn’t dare to retort and could only glare at Zhu Keren and Lu Chuan, cursing them a hundred tis over in his heart to vent his frustration.
Old Mrs.
Zhu said, “Soone, place two chairs next to for Keren and Chu Feng.
I want them to join for the al.”
Imdiately, two servants carried over two chairs.
One of the servants glanced around, noticing that the table seed to have no room for additional chairs, and said, “Old Lady, this table is already full.
We can’t add any more chairs.”
Zhu Shaolei smirked inwardly, thinking that even if they had won Grandmother’s favor, what did it matter in the end if they still had no chance to sit at the main table?
They might as well stay obediently in the corner!
At this mont, Old Mrs.
Zhu turned her head to look around and finally fixed her gaze on Zhu Dachang and his son Zhu Shaolei, saying, “Dachang, Shao Lei, you two give up your seats for Keren and Chu Feng.
I sit next to you two every year and I’m tired of it.
Go mingle with the other guests.
Don’t always stay by my side.”
Zhu Dachang and Zhu Shaolei both widened their eyes, never having imagined that the old lady would ask them to give up their seats for Zhu Keren and Lu Chuan.
This one act was enough to indicate that the two of them were no longer as important in Old Mrs.
Zhu’s heart as Zhu Keren was!
Zhu Shaolei wanted to argue, quickly saying, “Grandmother, isn’t it customary for my father and I to sit next to you?
Just because they gave you a gift that makes you happy, you can’t just send us away!”
Old Mrs.
Zhu’s face instantly darkened as she said, “Why are you so obstinate, child?
I told you two to leave because your bad breath is so severe, it has been stinking up the place for ages, ruining my appetite.
Do I really need to spell it out for you to understand what I an?”
As these words ca out, all the relatives and friends present couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Zhu Shaolei was imdiately plunged into the most socially dead and embarrassing situation of his life, wishing he could just bash his head in and die on the spot.
Embarrassed to the extre, Zhu Dachang quickly pulled Zhu Shaolei away from the table, saying irritably, “Can’t you brush your teeth?
Look how you’ve smoked out your grandma.
Don’t claim to be my son when you go out; I can’t afford that kind of embarrassnt!”
Zhu Keren, seeing Zhu Shaolei in such a humiliating state, couldn’t hide her delight, her lips curving up in spite of herself.
She turned her head to glance at Lu Chuan, poking him playfully and giving him a sly look.
Lu Chuan chuckled, winked at Zhu Keren in response.
The two sat down beside the old lady, who took Zhu Keren’s hand and began chatting with her warmly.
The birthday banquet continued, everyone drinking and making rry heartily, with much joviality.
Only Zhu Dachang and his son Zhu Shaolei, sitting in a corner with darkened faces, felt none of the happy atmosphere, as no one even ca over to drink with them after the old lady remarked about Zhu Shaolei’s bad breath.
With a malicious look in his eyes, Zhu Shaolei glared at Lu Chuan and gritted his teeth, saying, “This damned nuisance, I absolutely can’t let him steal my thunder today.
I must show everyone that he is still nothing but a worthless loser!”
Saying this, he stood up and went to the center of the courtyard, calling out loudly, “Grandmother, just drinking and chatting is a bit too dull.
How about I find soone to spar with for a bit of fun and to liven up the party?”
Upon hearing this, the crowd imdiately cheered, all eager to see Zhu Shaolei in action.
Old Mrs.
Zhu, seeing the high spirits of everyone, found it hard to refuse and said, “Alright then, find soone to spar with and bring so fun to the party.”
Zhu Shaolei imdiately turned his head towards Lu Chuan and sneered, “Chu Feng, weren’t you very unreconciled with last year, even coming to blows in front of grandmother?
I know you didn’t perform well last year, which is why I beat you up.
Today, I’m giving you another chance.
If you’re a man, co out and fight .
Do you have the guts?”
Everyone was aware of Zhu Shaolei’s prowess and knew Chu Feng’s character; they all showed the expressions of bystanders ready to enjoy the drama, waiting for Lu Chuan’s response.
Zhu Keren frowned at Zhu Shaolei and called out, “You know very well Chu Feng is not good at fighting, yet you challenge him anyway.
Isn’t this just your way of looking for trouble with him?”
Old Mrs.
Zhu also said, “Shao Lei, Chu Feng is not a martial artist; naturally, he can’t beat you.
Perhaps you should spar with soone else.”
With his eyes fixed intently on Lu Chuan, Zhu Shaolei shouted, “Fine, I knew he wouldn’t have the guts.
Since that’s the case, I’ll find a real man to spar with!”
His intention was to humiliate Lu Chuan this way, letting everyone know he was not a true man.
However, it was at this mont that Lu Chuan stood up, smiling and saying, “No need to look for soone else.
Since you want to fight, then I’ll oblige.
Let’s spice things up for everyone!”
