Chapter two hundred and sixty-ninth the so-called four
In the hall, with Lu Jin's intrusion, the atmosphere gradually became tense.
"Why, the four families have maintained a friendship for so many years, and now that it's our generation, I, Lu Jin, can't even be considered a guest when I come to your Wang family compound?"
Lu Jin ignored everyone's gaze, sat on a chair, picked up the tea on the table and started drinking.
Wang Ai looked at Lu Jin closely, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.
Not knowing that the awkward atmosphere had passed, Wang Ai finally spoke slowly and said: "You all go down first."
"Yes." Everyone in the Wang family nodded.
"Linglong, Lin, you also go out first."
"Yes, Master." Lu Linglong and Lu Lin nodded.
As people walked out one after another, the originally "lively" hall suddenly became deserted, leaving only two gray-haired old men, Wang Ai and Lu Jin.
"Lu Jin, are you here because of your apprentice's affairs?"
Lu Jin put down the tea cup calmly and said softly: "Is there anything else that is worth a visit to your Wang family in person?"
"Hmph! If you want to protect your apprentice, then we'd better not talk about it! Your apprentice is violent and entangled with the omnipotent monster in front of him, and he killed my grandson in the back. I, Wang Ai, will definitely avenge this!!
"
After listening to Wang Ai's indignant remarks, Lu Jin just lowered his eyes.
"First of all, my disciple, no matter whether he is violent or involved with the whole sex, it is my own family matter. I am not dead yet, so it is not the turn of outsiders to discipline me!
Secondly, why did your grandson die in Hua Sheng's hands? You don't know it in your mind, right? Why did he go all the way to find Hua Sheng? The relationship between the two of them shouldn't be that good, right?"
"you!!!"
A look of anger flashed across Wang Ai's face, but he quickly suppressed his anger.
Indeed, if this matter is really rooted in the truth, it is the fault of the Wang family.
No matter what Hua Sheng did outside, it stands to reason that they are all four families and they cannot take action against Hua Sheng.
After all, Hua Sheng is also Lu Jin's apprentice, and can be regarded as half of the Lu family.
And Wang Bing led a large group of people to hunt down Hua Sheng, which was not only unjust, but also somewhat aggravated the situation.
If he had to kill him, then he would kill him. The Lu family would never come to have a quarrel with the Wang family over a notorious dead man. Afterwards, they would negotiate and make some compensation and the matter would be over. This was the reason why Wang Ai was so angry at the beginning.
There is no reason to stop the Kingpin.
But now, Hua Sheng not only failed to kill, but his grandson was killed, which was completely beyond Wang Ai's expectation.
"If he brought so many people to find Hua Sheng to seek revenge, then if he was killed instead of killing someone, it would be entirely your grandson's fault, right?"
boom!!
Upon hearing this, Wang Ai also slammed the table, stood up suddenly, and glared at Lu Jin with wide eyes.
"Lu Jin, what do you mean?!!!"
"What do I mean!!"
Lu Jin didn't have a good temper either, so he immediately stood up as well.
"Wang Ai! You know what you have planned in your heart. Don't tell me anything. You don't know what your grandson is going to do!"
During the Jiashen Rebellion, I led my brothers and sisters to hunt down Wu Gensheng, but in the end, I was the only one from the Trinity Sect who died. This was entirely my own fault, and I accept all the consequences!
Those who kill will always be killed! This is also the eternal truth! Don't pretend like a victim in front of me!"
Wang Ai was very angry and laughed when he heard this.
"Haha, Lu Jin, although we have been together for so many years, we don't have much friendship, but you should know my temper.
I, Wang Ai, have suffered such a big loss today. If you want me to endure it without even letting out a fart, I will tell you straight away. You, Lu Jin, are not so proud!"
Lu Jin narrowed his eyes, a dangerous look flashed in his eyes.
"It seems like you, old guy, have been idle for too long and want to stretch your muscles? Okay, come, I, Lu Jin, will accompany you!"
Seeing Lu Jin's expression of preferring a piece of jade to a piece of brick, Wang Ai's pupils shrank slightly, but a few seconds later, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Hahaha, it's such an eventful time. It hasn't been this lively in years. Lao Lu suddenly stopped going out. Now our Wang family and Lu family are also going to have trouble.
Speaking of which, the relationship between our four families has never been so tense in the past, right?"
"Huh! If some people are willing to be more calm, the four families will still be the four families before!"
"That's alright, I won't talk too much, just walk slowly, I won't send you far."
Lu Jin looked deeply at Wang Ai, said nothing more, turned around and walked directly out of the hall.
Looking at Lu Jin's leaving figure, Wang Ai's originally smiling expression gradually disappeared, replaced by that chilling gloom.
After the three people from the Lu family drove away from the Wang family, Lu Linglong quickly asked Lu Jin beside her: "Master, how are you?"
Lu Jin took a deep breath and replied calmly: "They probably won't attack the Hua family next."
"What about Hua Sheng?"
Lu Jin fell into silence and did not answer Lu Linglong's question.
Despite the tit-for-tat confrontation between him and Wang Ai just now, the two of them actually knew very well that the four families have been one since ancient times. They all prospered and suffered losses. It is precisely because of this that they can interact with each other in this thousand-year historical torrent.
It has been passed down to this day.
Although there will inevitably be some friction between each family, there will never be large-scale fighting. This is an unspoken rule that the four families have followed tacitly for thousands of years.
Neither Wang Ai nor Lu Jin had the guts to break this unspoken rule, so without a fight breaking out, both sides had no choice but to take a step back.
The Wang family will not go to trouble the Hua Sheng family, but on the other hand, the Lu family has no right to stop the subsequent personal revenge against Hua Sheng. This is the final bottom line for both Wang Ai and Lu Jin.
"Hey, brat, that's all I can help you with. You still have to walk the rest of the way on your own..."
Looking at Lu Jin's silent expression, combined with the questions she just raised, Lu Linglong more or less guessed something.
"Master, brother, I won't go home with you later."
"where do you want to go?"
Lu Linglong also fell into silence, her meaning self-evident.
"Nonsense, come back with me!" Lu Jin shouted angrily.
"Master, I can be considered an obedient child. I have never made you or your family angry since I was a child. But the few times I didn't listen to you, when did you have any way to deal with me?"
