If a moment ago, Lu Wantong was still thinking about how to reject the four Ren family members and how to send them away.
So at this moment, Lu Wantong's mood undoubtedly took a 180-degree turn.
The Fengyun-Severing Sword!
Lu Wantong's expression changed instantly and he regained his composure. However, he could not suppress the turmoil in his heart no matter what.
After swallowing dryly with a dry throat, Lu Wantong smiled and said, "Mrs. Ren, are you kidding me?"
The old lady sneered and said: "Chief Wantong, do you think I am interested in Baba coming to you to play this kind of joke with you when your son just died?"
This rhetorical question was so sharp that all Lu Wantong's doubts disappeared. He couldn't help but look at the other party seriously.
After a long time, Lu Wantong asked solemnly: "Old madam, are you serious about what you said?"
"It's true."
"Where is the sword?" Lu Wantong couldn't help but ask.
The old lady said indifferently: "When our Ren family takes over the mine, this knife will naturally be in your hands."
Lu Wantong's breathing was slightly rapid and he began to think about it. The importance of the mine to the Lu family is self-evident, accounting for at least 30% of the family's industry.
The sudden transfer will undoubtedly have a great impact on the family's industry. Although the Lu family has been adjusting its business strategy and expanding overseas in recent years.
However, this mine has always been a major source of income for the Lu family! The most important thing is that this mine is also a major guarantee for them to maintain their alliance with the Song family.
If you sell it out rashly, you will not only cut off your financial resources, but you may also become enemies with the Song family!
However, the Fengyun-Slaying sword is a sacred object of the family. The ancestors of past generations have taught it to future generations. The family's first task is to retrieve the family's ancestral sword and practice the family's number one stunt, "Fengyun-Slaying".
Without that precious sword, no one would be able to practice "Zhan Fengyun" to the highest level, and would not be able to occupy a supreme position among the top masters in Yunluo City!
Therefore, there has always been a saying in the clan that if the sword that cuts the wind and cloud appears, the Lu family will not hesitate to exchange half of the family property for it!
This shows the significance of the Fengyun-Zhan sword to the entire Lu family!
"Old madam, how can you prove that the sword is my ancestral Fengyun-slaying sword?" Lu Wantong tried his best to suppress his emotions and asked again.
The old lady didn't say anything, and glanced at Lu Wantong calmly: "Others can be faked, but I can't imitate the unique 'Lu' character on the handle of the knife, right?"
This time, Lu Wantong could not tolerate being moved. There were too many descriptions of that sword in the ancestral training. Every detail was clear, and it was also information that the clan leaders of all generations must remember.
"So, is it really the ancestral sword of my Lu family? But I don't know how it got into the hands of your family? Furthermore, it should be returned to the original owner, as it should be, but the old lady has opened her mouth and wants the mines of my Lu family. This...
…”
Before Lu Wantong could finish what he said, the old lady laughed sinisterly. Suddenly, she stood up.
He sneered and said: "Clan Chief Wantong, do you think I am just here to talk nonsense with you? The thing is in my hand, you don't care how I got it? Do you blame me for the lion's mouth? Very good, then I won't bother you. You don't want it,
Of course someone wants it. I will entrust the auction house to auction it, and the price your Lu family will have to pay will probably be doubled."
Having said this, the old lady Shi Shiran was about to walk out: "Grandsons, it seems that the Lu family doesn't welcome us very much, let's go."
Lu Wantong knew that the old lady of the Ren family was difficult to deal with. When he saw that she turned around and left without saying a word, he quickly shouted: "Old lady, stay here."
The old lady did not hesitate, waved her hand, and said impatiently: "Lu Wantong, if you are sincere, I will give you a day to think about it. If you still talk about those nonsense, we don't need to talk about it. I can tell you that it belongs to my Ren family."
It was obtained from an unexpected transaction in an underground market in Black Rock City, and the cost is not low. Even if your Lu family doesn't want it, my Ren family can't use this kind of innate sword."
This statement makes it clear that the Lu family needs it, so I will give you the face to ask the Lu family first. If the Lu family doesn't want it, there is no need to worry about it not being sold.
The old lady is very straightforward and will never be sloppy. She just leaves as she says.
Lu Wantong was in a daze, watching the four members of the Ren family leaving, with all kinds of feelings in his heart. The sword had been lost for so many years, and it was naturally a bluff to return it to its original owner. Unfortunately, he didn't listen to him at all. His attitude was very firm.
Love or not.
Lu Wantong sighed, knowing that if he didn't spend some money, he might not get back the Fengyun-Severing Sword.
Lu Wantong naturally knows which is more important, 30% of the industry or the ancestral sword.
If it were put up for auction in an auction house, I'm afraid 50% of the property would be lost. Who doesn't know that the auction house is a vampire that plucks feathers and peels iron with a needle? It eats the sellers and eats the buyers. This is the general rule of the auction houses.
It seems that the Ren family is determined to get the iron mine!
Ginger is still old and spicy, and the old lady of the Ren family leaves as soon as she wants, neatly, and she is given so much time, just one day.
Lu Wantong knows very well that the old lady of the Ren family doesn't take hard or soft words. She is straight to the point and will never be polite to you. If the Lu family is not straightforward, maybe this Fengyun sword will really be missed.
At that moment, he no longer hesitated and ordered: "Issue the highest recruitment order of the family and summon all the elders of the clan to come to the meeting hall to discuss important matters!"
This highest recruitment order is the supreme order of the Lu family. Once it is issued, no matter what urgent matter is at hand, even if your wife is dead, you must arrive as soon as possible.
Except for a few elders who were far away and could not make it back, the top brass of the Lu family were in place almost within half an hour.
Looking at the clan leader Lu Wantong with a deep look on his face, everyone was full of doubts. They all felt that the family seemed to have no major events recently, so how could they issue the highest recruitment order?
"Chief, what happened?" the elder of the clan asked.
The Great Elder is Lu Wantong's uncle, and his position is very respected. It is not considered overstepping for him to ask questions.
Lu Wantong's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, Wantong has nothing to entertain you. The reason why I summoned you here today is because the long-lost sword of Zhuan Fengyun in the clan has been found."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar immediately, which shook the senior family members.
The Fengyun-Severing Sword!
When thinking of these five words, countless memories suddenly surged into everyone's hearts. There are too many records in family history about the majesty of the Fengyun-Severing Sword.
"The Fengyun-Severing Sword has appeared? Where is it?"
"Yes, in whose hands?"
There was a lot of discussion among the senior members of the clan, and everyone looked surprised and confused.
Lu Wantong's tone was heavy and he sighed: "The old lady of the Ren family came to me just now and asked me to transfer the family's mine to the Ren family. Use this as a bargaining chip in exchange for the sword that cuts the wind and clouds."
"What? Is she taking advantage of the situation?"
"That's right, the lion's mouth is wide open!"
"Chief, what do you say?"
Lu Wantong smiled bitterly and said: "What can I say? I can't decide whether to agree or not. Otherwise, why would I call you here?"
"Impossible in the mine! If you want something else, you can still consider it."
Lu Wantong sighed: "It's a pity that her intention is very determined and clear - she only wants the mine. And she only gave us one day to think about it."
When the senior officials of the Lu family heard this, their faces turned green.
"This Ren family is so bullying!"
"Do you think our Lu family is afraid of them?"
Lu Wantong shook his head in his heart. These people were still not smart. What time had it been? This was not the time to compete with fists.
It’s impossible for anyone to get that Fengyun-slaying sword and then hand it over? Why?
In this vast world, among all the sentient beings, who is not running for the word "profit"?
The elder was still very clear-headed. He pressed his palm down and said, "Everyone, there is no need to say anything in anger. If we were on the Ren family's side, if we picked up the other party's ancestral belongings, we would also ask for benefits. This is understandable.
.The question now is to change or not to change!”
Lu Wantong nodded: "The elder's words make sense. The old lady of the Ren family will not accept soft words. If we delay, if she entrusts the sword to the auction house for auction, then if we want to get the sword back, the price will have to be paid again."
Ichiban!”
The situation is very obvious. Either you have to bear the pain and give up your love, and get back the Fengyun-Severing Sword at the minimum cost.
Or if you don't change, you will lose the face of your ancestors and let others criticize you and laugh at them.
Finally, the great elder spoke: "Clan Chief Wantong, get ready. I will go with you to the Ren family to ask for more information. I will also take a look at the sword to see if it is really the heirloom sword of my Lu family, Zhan Fengyun. If the Ren family bites
If you don't let go, you can't say anything, so you can only sacrifice the iron mine. The iron mine can be abandoned, but the precious sword of my Lu family can never be discarded. Once this sword is abandoned, it means that the heirloom soul of the Lu family is lost.
The family’s prestige will surely plummet!”
Lu Wantong was convinced: "Yes, let's inquire first and act according to the situation! As a last resort, we have to abandon the mine."
Scanning the audience, Lu Wantong said in a solemn tone: "Until this matter is settled properly, everyone present must keep it secret and not leak any information. The transfer of the iron ore mine is of great importance. If the information is leaked and affects the return of the sword to the family, then it belongs to the family."
The eternal sinner will not escape the death penalty!"
Everyone was awestruck and nodded in shock, not daring to go against it. Everyone in the Lu family, from top to bottom, knew that as a family member, the absolute significance of the Fengyun-Zhanbing Sword to the family was incomparable to anything else!
For this precious sword, the family will sacrifice everything, including the lives of everyone present!
Even if you don’t care about your life, let alone the things outside you?
The property is gone and can be slowly managed again, which is not unique. But for the Lu family, the Fengyun-Severing Sword only has one mouthful.
