Could Lu Shui Be Behind This?

Qiao Wuqing walked ahead, and Qiao Gan said unwillingly:

"Ancestor Grandfather, are we just letting it go like this? I feel stifled. Elder Liao was even killed."

"Gan'er, what do you think we should do?" Qiao Wuqing asked.

He seemed to dote greatly on this great-grandson of his.

"We should at least teach Lu Shui and his two subordinates a lesson," Qiao Gan said.

Qiao Wuqing shook his head.

"Qian'er, what do you think?"

The girl beside Qiao Gan frowned and said:

"This is Lu Family Territory. It was already unwise to clash with the Young Master of the Lu Family. Even if he is a waste, he still represents the Lu Family's face.

"It is impossible for someone to be bullied in the Lu Family."

Qiao Gan retorted:

"But a little scuffle wouldn't affect anything at all."

Qiao Qian said, "But you were already fighting to the death."

Qiao Gan said, "But that Lu Shui was clearly the one who struck first. Who knows why he has people kill others at the drop of a hat? I've never seen any young master act like that."

Qiao Qian said, "Have you ever seen a young master from any family with a worse reputation than the Young Master of the Lu Family?"

Qiao Gan was suddenly at a loss for words. So, because he was a waste, they could not provoke him carelessly?

Qiao Wuqing shook his head and said:

"You are all wrong. The reason your Ancestor Grandfather did not pursue this matter is because that person killed someone right in front of me."

Qiao Gan did not understand at all.

"Why? He showed no respect for Ancestor Grandfather. Shouldn't we pursue it even more?"

Qiao Wuqing shook his head and looked ahead.

"No. In theory, he should not have been able to act, yet he truly broke free from the restraint.

"And this method directly deceived me, the one who cast that restraint. Do you know what that means?"

Qiao Gan did not understand, nor did Qiao Qian.

"It means one of the Lu Family's giants has turned their gaze here—and it was not the Lu Family Third Elder. If he had acted, he absolutely would not have left people unable to detect it.

"In other words, the one who killed was not the Young Master of the Lu Family, nor was it that Lu Family subordinate. It was a Lu Family Elder," Qiao Wuqing said.

That was the reason he did not pursue the matter.

Otherwise, no matter what, he would have taught the Lu Family's young master a lesson.

Qiao Gan thought for a moment and said:

"At that time, I heard Lu Shui say 'slash,' and only then did that man called Zhen Wu draw his sword. Could Lu Shui actually be behind this?"

Hearing that, Qiao Wuqing shook his head and laughed.

"How could a Second Tier like him silently undo This Seat's restraint?

"Even if he is extraordinarily gifted, at only ten or twenty years old, he could never reach that step."

Qiao Gan said nothing more. He knew his Ancestor Grandfather was angry.

Under normal circumstances, his Ancestor Grandfather would not refer to himself as This Seat before him.

But he would remember today. If he encountered Lu Shui elsewhere, he would definitely win back his dignity.

At this moment, Lu Shui was listening to his father lecture him.

"Is this how you conduct yourself? You change your tune every day. Do you know that if this had not been Lu Family Territory, whether you could still be alive today would have been a question," Lu Gu said angrily. He did not want his son to go out one day and never return.

"You think everyone knows the Lu Family's name, don't you?

"You think everyone knows you are the Young Master of the Lu Family, don't you?

"You think this world is full of cultivators who fear death, don't you?

"You think no one would dare take the risk of Destroying the Corpse and Erasing the Traces, don't you?" Lu Gu continued.

"If you lack strength, cause less trouble.

"Isn't it good to stay alive?

"Is it so hard to stop making your mother and me worry about you?"

Lu Shui: "..."

Had he gone too far again?

He felt that person spoke like an idiot and sounded awful. He had even brazenly brought a Blood Fiend Banner in. Who knew whether the people he had killed were their people?

Didn't he realize whose territory this was?

If Lu Shui did not teach him a lesson, he would not even know who he was anymore.

Since one chose to join the ranks of cultivators, one had to be mentally prepared. After all, one might lose one's life for no reason someday—such as by provoking someone who should not be provoked.

That was the lesson the demonic cultivator who had nearly beaten him to death had taught him.

So Lu Shui chose to kill him.

Of course, the reason he dared to be so brazen was because this was Lu Family Territory. The Three Big Shots were on the mountain, and the Qiao Family's people absolutely lacked the ability to contend against them.

After living for so many years, he was not an idiot.

The only pity was that the Heaven and Earth Power he had painstakingly accumulated was gone again. He had to keep reading.

"Did you hear me clearly?" Lu Gu shouted.

Lu Shui had no choice but to say:

"Clearly."

Only then did Lu Gu nod.

"Go get lunch from your mother when you get back. Father has work to do. Remember to cause less trouble."

Lu Shui: "..."

Go, go get food from his mother?

So after all that circling around, he still had to eat?

Sigh!!!

With a sigh, Lu Shui carried his book and headed up the mountain. He had just heard that the Signal Device was being upgraded.

Now that he knew that, there was no need for him to remain in the small town.

He should go get something to eat.

On the road up the mountain, Lu Shui said:

"Do you know what those people came to the Lu Family for?"

Lu Shui's gaze remained fixed on his book.

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling exchanged a glance. They were somewhat hesitant.

Then Zhen Wu said:

"It may have something to do with young master."

Lu Shui looked at his book and said:

"The Marriage Contract?"

Zhen Wu was somewhat surprised. Young master had become so clever. Then he responded:

"Yes."

Lu Shui said nothing more. He had found it strange. After thinking carefully, there had been no Qiao Family members visiting in his Previous Life.

Nine times out of ten, they had come because of some matter.

At present, only the Marriage Contract had changed.

As for the Mu Family, whether they had concealed a problem or Mu Xue herself had a problem, Lu Shui still had no clue. But it was unimportant.

What mattered was breaking off the engagement. He liked that very much.

The day after tomorrow, he could go break off the engagement.

His Waist Injury had also basically healed.

Over the next two days, he needed to gather some Heaven and Earth Power. Going out was still rather dangerous for him.

In his Previous Life, he basically never went out, especially after he had nearly been beaten to death.

Later, even after the Confinement Order was lifted, he still did not go out.

Thus, he spent most of his life in Lu Family Territory.

As for the marriage the Lu Family's various Big Shots planned to arrange for him after the engagement was broken off, he had not taken it to heart at all.

Because he had already arranged it himself.

Once they returned to the Lu Family, Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling would no longer follow Lu Shui.

Lu Shui Naturally planned to go to his mother to get food, but halfway there, his phone suddenly rang.

He took it out and saw an Unknown Number.

After hesitating for a moment, he still answered it.

"Hello."

He was especially polite. He had specifically learned that outside.

After waiting a moment, there was still no sound from the Opposite Person.

Lu Shui looked at his phone curiously and found that the call was connected.

"Is it broken?"

"Hello? Can you hear me?"

After waiting a moment, the other side finally spoke. It was a woman.

"Lu Shui?"

Lu Shui was a little curious. Who was this?

Did he know her?

Or had he forgotten again?

The voice sounded somewhat familiar. Hm, perhaps he knew her.

"Who is this?" Lu Shui asked directly.

"I heard you are coming to break off the engagement?" came the voice from the other side.

Hearing This Sentence, Lu Shui was somewhat stunned. Then he said:

"Mu Family Members?"

Then he realized it. This voice sounded very familiar, somewhat like Mu Xue's. Lu Shui continued:

"Mu Xue?"
