High Profile Direction Encountered Some Minor Issues

The Mu Family Hall fell into silence for a long time.

Finally, Mu Yuan's voice came from the head of the hall:

"Do you all understand what this means?"

Mu Jiang and the others looked at Mu Yuan, knowing exactly what their patriarch meant.

It was about the Young Master of the Lu Family's behavior.

The Young Master of the Lu Family had clearly come to break off the engagement, but in the end, not only did he not break it off, he even stood up for Mu Xue. What kind of operation was this? No one understood.

This was far beyond their expectations.

They had no psychological preparation at all.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so passive in their questioning.

Mu Jiang spoke:

"It is indeed impossible to understand, but one thing is absolutely certain: the Lu Family was supposed to come to break off the engagement."

Mu Yuan found another chair and sat down, saying:

"Yes, everyone thought so, and even the Lu Family members thought so.

But the result, hehe.

I had only heard before that the Young Master of the Lu Family was frivolous and unreliable, but seeing him today was truly... eye-opening."

"He was extremely arrogant, extremely presumptuous, extremely ignorant, and his stupidity will eventually cost him his life," Mu Ze said.

His voice was low. They had indeed been angered to the point of near death just now.

Mu Yuan smiled slightly:

"Stupid? But in my opinion, he is very smart. He seems to have known from the beginning that I wouldn't make a move against him, and that I would even have to accept his questioning.

Perhaps it's because he is the Young Master of the Lu Family."

Mu Jiang didn't pay attention to these details and instead asked:

"So what do we do now? The Lu Family clearly came to break off the engagement, but now not only did they not break it off, they even stood up for Mu Xue and even declared that if the Mu Family was unwilling to support Mu Xue, their Lu Family could."

Mu Ze also looked at Mu Yuan, awaiting an answer.

Mu Yuan leaned back, a smile on his face:

"Of course, we'll go by what the Young Master Lu said. Spread the news, and even spread the word that we were questioned by the Young Master Lu on the spot. Don't fake anything.

The Young Master Lu wants to be famous, so we'll satisfy him.

No matter what the final outcome is, it won't be as easy for the Lu Family to break off the engagement by just sending someone over like today.

If the Lu Family no longer mentions breaking off the engagement, then we have no losses.

The betrothal gifts for Mu Xue will only increase."

"What about Mu Xue's matter?" Mu Jiang tentatively asked.

"Make Mu Xue satisfied, or rather, you must make her satisfied," Mu Yuan said with a frown.

Lu Shui left the Mu Family with Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling. Lu Shui just kept walking forward. Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling were extremely anxious but had no way to do anything.

If their young master hadn't acted so strangely along the way, they might have already questioned him.

Wasn't this acting recklessly?

But when they thought about Lu Shui's performance on the Floating Sky Island, and how Lu Shui, who should have fled, stood up for them, they couldn't bring themselves to question him.

Of course, the most profound sentence they felt at that time was, "I stand here, who permits you to look up?"

That sentence had also frightened them.

Therefore, they dared not question him further and could only worry.

Lu Shui left the Mu Family's vicinity and stopped in a certain jungle.

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling were a bit confused. Why did their young master suddenly stop?

Before Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling could ask, Lu Shui spoke:

"Zhen Wu, this young master is tired. Find a wooden stool for this young master to sit on."

After leaving the Mu Family, Lu Shui felt like he couldn't hold on any longer.

He was scared by Mu Xue.

Zhen Wu didn't understand, but he still took out a chair from his Storage Magic Treasure. He definitely had such an item.

Lu Shui then sat down, his legs a little weak.

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling could naturally see it. It seemed their young master was scared by the Mu Family Patriarch just now.

That aura was indeed immense. It was already very difficult for him to endure until now with his cultivation.

Zhen Wu asked:

"Young Master, shall I make a phone call to report to the clan leader?"

Lu Shui thought about it and felt that this matter was indeed quite significant. It would be good to report to his father so they would have some buffer time.

He would go back later.

He just didn't know what he would face when he returned.

He wouldn't die, so he considered it a profit.

If the engagement had been broken off just now, he would have definitely died.

Mu Xue was a gunpowder barrel; one couldn't expect her to be rational.

Finally, Lu Shui just nodded.

Seeing Lu Shui agree, Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling exchanged a look. Then, Zhen Wu took out his mobile phone and called the clan leader.

Lu Gu had nothing to do today. Mainly, his wife was in a bad mood, so even if he had something to do, he had to pretend he didn't.

Therefore, he could only accompany his wife for a walk.

"Do you think our son broke off the engagement?" Dongfang Liyin asked worriedly.

Lu Gu checked the time and said, "It should be about time. If you're really worried, you can make a phone call to ask."

"Why don't you make a phone call to ask for me?" Dongfang Liyin said, looking at Lu Gu.

"Alright, I'll make a phone call to ask," Lu Gu said helplessly.

Hearing Lu Gu's words, Dongfang Liyin secretly giggled to herself.

However, just as Lu Gu took out his mobile phone, he found it ringing.

Dongfang Liyin leaned closer and asked, "Who is it?"

"Zhen Wu," Lu Gu frowned. "Zhen Wu is a subordinate of the Third Elder. Shouldn't he notify the Third Elder if something happened?"

Dongfang Liyin was also a little worried because Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling had no reason to tell them if the engagement was successfully broken off.

Therefore, their son might be in trouble.

Lu Gu didn't hesitate at all and answered the phone.

He used the speakerphone.

Soon, Zhen Wu's voice came from the other end:

"Clan Leader, it's Zhen Wu."

Lu Gu didn't directly ask about Lu Shui's situation:

"Are you already at the Mu family's residence?"

"Yes, Clan Leader, we have already left," Zhen Wu said.

Lu Gu immediately asked, "Did everything go smoothly at the Mu family's? Did Young Master cause you any trouble? Did he act willfully or impulsively? Did he use his identity as the Young Master of the Lu Family to mock the Mu family?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end before Zhen Wu's voice came through:

"Yes, Clan Leader, Young Master was indeed a bit high profile when facing the Mu family."

Hearing this, Lu Gu and Dongfang Liyin's expressions turned grim.

"Is Young Master injured?"

Zhen Wu quickly replied, "Young Master is fine and not injured. It's just that... the direction of his high profile actions had a small problem."

Dongfang Liyin and Lu Gu didn't quite understand. What did that mean?

Then, Lu Gu could only ask Zhen Wu to explain in detail:

"Tell us about the situation with breaking off the engagement."

Zhen Wu naturally hid nothing. He spent a few minutes roughly recounting the situation of breaking off the engagement that day, without any embellishment.

After listening, Lu Gu and Dongfang Liyin were Meng Bi.

The engagement wasn't broken off, but instead, he stood up for Mu Xue and questioned and insulted the Mu family on the spot?

This was high profile?

This was extremely arrogant and presumptuous, completely trampling the Mu family's dignity into the dirt.

Had their son become "outstanding" to this extent?

Also, what did their son consider the instructions the Lu family had given him?

Just wind by the ear?

Finally, Lu Gu said:

"Protect the young master and bring him back. Don't let him escape.

I'll speak to the Third Elder. You don't need to report this."

"Thank you, clan leader." Zhen Wu and the others were precisely worried about this.

It was truly good that they didn't need to report it now. As for going back, they would definitely be punished.

That was something they couldn't escape.
