The tree that stands above the forest will always draw winds with ulterior motives to break it
"Who is this person that Saint Emperor would address him in such a way?"
Those who realized this problem were all curious and eager to find out more.
This is no small matter!
At this moment, the boy beside Lu Yuan, who had a somewhat lazy air about him, slowly got up.
"This?"
Countless eyes turned to Lu Changzhi, some incredulous in their gazes.
"Isn't this Senior Lu's son? How did he become Senior Lu's young master?"
"This relationship is a bit complicated. Why would she refer to her own son with such a respectful title?"
"Hmm? This is someone else entirely. But what kind of identity could make a Saint Emperor like Senior Lu act in this way?"
With the verbal signal and Lu Yuan's words, most people understood that it was the servants or the accompanying powerful figures who had made the gesture.
But now, it is Lu Yuan, a Saint Emperor powerhouse, who is doing this!
Just as everyone was feeling a vague sense of shock...
On the arena, Xiao Ye bowed to Lu Changzhi and said:
"Master."
These words shocked everyone present!
"This young man is actually Kong Mu's master? I feel like they're not that far apart in age!"
"This... Kong Mu's master? Someone who can be Kong Mu's master can't be anything less than exceptional. So, this young man is even more powerful than Kong Mu? Really?!"
"Hiss, he's Master Kong Mu, and Lu Yuan calls him my young master. He must be someone important. This is his response to Xia Hai's claim of a good match!" Someone sorted out the relationship and was so shocked that they slapped the thighs of those around them.
Lu Yuan gave Xia Hai a satisfied look.
He had already accomplished what he was supposed to do, precisely because Xia Hai provided a topic of conversation.
Although he focused on practicing martial arts, how could he not understand the things between people and between forces?
He knows how to do things that make others look good.
But he didn't do it before because he didn't think those people or forces were worth it.
However, if one is a descendant of the Sanriku school, then doing so would certainly be worthwhile.
Putting everything else aside, at least we'll have more confidence when we want to eat dried meat later.
On the other side.
Xia Hai had just figured out what had happened when he saw Lu Yuan's satisfied look.
A chill ran through my entire body.
Just out of the wolf's den, into the tiger's mouth!
Who would have thought that Kong Mu had this kind of relationship with Lu Yuan?
He himself said they were a good match in terms of social standing; wasn't that a blatant slap in Lu Yuan's face?!
But Lu Yuan wasn't angry; instead, he looked at him with that kind of gaze.
Is it because Lu Yuan has a good temper?
That's bullshit!
Xia Hai is not a three-year-old child.
This reaction is far more terrifying than Xiang Ge's open threats!
And then there's Lu Yuan Kong Mu's master, who seems to have an extraordinary background.
Upon realizing this, Xia Hai felt a chill run down his spine.
He shouldn't have come to this Law Contemplation Gathering!
It's difficult to be a good person no matter what!
It would be better to go with that creature with legs that the clan found, no matter how you look at it, to search for the dragon.
Even if we couldn't find it, it wouldn't have led to this mess, causing us so much trouble.
Lu Changzhi did not say a word.
The surrounding area was stunned for a long time.
Lu Changzhi did not respond to Xia Hai's words, but looked in the direction of the Academy and smiled:
"Thank you very much for the care the Academy has provided for me, its disciple, during this time."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yu looked at Duan Bo, who then spoke up:
"You're too kind. The Myriad Laws Saint Emperor left behind a legacy, and it's a kind of fate that we were able to wait for your disciple to arrive. Now that Kong Mu has obtained the legacy, it is our bounden duty to protect his safety."
Such a response left everyone present speechless with bewilderment.
The fact that the former headmaster of the Academy personally responded further confirmed the astonishing origins of this young man.
Looking back on what Xia Hai said earlier, it now seems rather funny.
Xiang Li's background is now probably not even comparable to Kong Mu's.
If this young man can command such power from a Saint Emperor Lu Yuan, how could there possibly be only one strong person behind him?
Comprehension, ability, temperament, plus the current background.
They truly lost everything!
On the other side.
Xiang Ge's mood, which had just begun to ease, immediately soured again.
His once-powerful Xiang Clan, at the height of its influence, is now facing misfortune in everything?!
However, he realized it immediately.
Given the current situation, it's highly likely that Lu Yuan did this intentionally.
As for why, it must be because they are unwilling to accept the defeat they suffered back then.
Therefore, the origin of the boy beside him may not be true.
After all, speaking is all about how you say it.
Its origins are extraordinary? And how can this be proven?
However, the previous incident involving Kong Mu serves as a cautionary tale.
Almost immediately, Xiang Qing, who was standing to the side, received a new task.
Whether it's the boy's biological son in disguise or not, try to glean some insight into the boy's past and circumstances, and you'll find out.
Professional tasks should be handled by professionals, Xiang Qing excels at this.
Sanxi later.
With Xiang Qing spat out a cloud of blood mist, his face turning deathly pale.
Such a commotion immediately attracted a lot of attention.
After all, they were members of the Xiang Clan.
I was so angry I almost vomited blood, this is just...
Surprisingly.
Many others recognized Xiang Qing, and upon realizing something, their expressions shifted slightly.
"Xiang Qing? He's good at observing people and deducing cause and effect. Judging from his appearance, he must have done something just now."
"It seems this young man is indeed no ordinary person; otherwise, with Xiang Qing's strength, he wouldn't be in such a predicament."
"It seems the Xiang Clan has met their match this time. It's truly unexpected."
Xiang Qing's appearance, without his knowledge, helped all parties confirm that the young man's origins were extraordinary.
Lu Changzhi looked at Lu Qing.
This was somewhat unexpected.
It wasn't that I was surprised by the other party's actions.
Rather, it was a counterattack launched by the system using the talent of Impermanent Karma.
Facing someone like Xiang Qing, they were truly not intimidated at all.
"Speaking of which, the matter of safety that the old dean mentioned is indeed important."
Lu Changzhi spoke:
"The tallest tree in the forest is always the first to be felled by those with ulterior motives."
As the voice faded, the contents of the recording stone that Lu Yuan had given him earlier appeared in mid-air.
What is recorded is the scene of Xiang Li attacking Xiao Ye in the main courtyard.
Seeing this, many people's opinion of Xiang Li immediately dropped even further.
Lu Changzhi waited for everyone to discuss for a while, then looked at Xiang Ge and smiled:
"To be frank, I don't trust the character of your Xiang Clan. Therefore, if anything happens to my disciple, the blame will be placed on your Xiang Clan first."
His voice wasn't loud, but it sent a jolt through everyone present.
Such an attitude shows a complete disregard for the Xiang Clan.
That's overbearing, so overbearing!
The Xiang Clan, traditionally the domineering party, is now being treated with such tyranny; how could they possibly accept it?
The answer is obvious.
Almost as soon as Lu Changzhi finished speaking, Xiang Ge's face darkened, and his voice turned extremely cold:
"Have you considered the consequences of such blatant disregard for the Xiang Clan?"
The Xiang Clan has developed over many years, and what they possess is not just two Holy Saint Emperor, but also numerous powerful individuals and methods.
In other words, it's almost too big to fail.
Even if the person before them possessed some status, would the Xiang Clan allow him to remain in their presence?
If that were the case, wouldn't we become a laughingstock?
Lu Changzhi smiled but didn't say anything.
He wasn't surprised at all by Xiang Ge's reaction.
What was said was merely intimidation.
What is presented is the real threat.
