A young man who looked like he was only in his twenties made the senior officials of the ‘Lu family’, one of the two strongest forces in Beiling, bow their heads. (Read the latest chapterщщщ.force qi)
Just to invite him to join the Lu family and become the Lu family’s ‘first guest’!
Facing the sincere invitation from the senior officials of the Lu family, Duan Lingtian looked as calm as if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his expression.
It was as if the person invited was not him.
Today, Duan Lingtian's ears are still ringing with the words just spoken by the Lu family's head, 'Lu Rui'.
"...In the future, if Master Duan needs something, the Lu family will do their best to get it for Master Duan!"
Isn't this why he came to the Lu family?
"Since the head of the Lu family and the elders are so sincere, and Lu Bai is my friend, it would be unreasonable for me to refuse..."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Duan Lingtian finally spoke slowly. Originally, it was just a sentence on the stick to beat the snake, but he unknowingly sold Lu Bai a favor.
He agreed.
really.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the senior officials of the Lu family turned to look at Lu Bai, making Lu Bai become the center of attention for a moment.
"Lu Bai, you are fine."
The head of the Lu family, ‘Lu Rui’, looked at Lu Bai and nodded slightly, showing some appreciation in his eyes.
For a moment, Lu Bai couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
Although he is the second young master of the Lu family, if you really want to talk about it, he only ranks second among the younger generations of the direct lineage of the Lu family.
In terms of relationship, the head of the Lu family is just his cousin.
The young direct descendants of the Lu family are ranked according to their age. So far, they have been ranked around twenty... Lu Bai, who happens to be ranked second, is the 'Second Young Master of the Lu Family'.
The successor to the next generation head of the Lu family will be selected from among twenty of them.
So far, the people who have the best chance of inheriting the Lu family's business are none other than Lu Bai, the second young master of the Lu family, and the eldest young master of the Lu family, 'Lu Song'.
Now that Lu Bai has been praised by the head of the Lu family, it undoubtedly means that he is one step closer to becoming the next generation head of the family.
"As early as when the second young master was very young, I saw that he was not a simple man, but a talented general... Now it seems that this is indeed the case. This time, he can be regarded as a 'great nobleman' for our Lu family. "
"Given the relationship between the Second Young Master and Master Duan, if he succeeds as the head of the family in the future, why should our Lu family be unhappy?"
"That's right."
…
At this time, many Lu family elders began to flatter Lu Bai.
The elders who originally stood on Lu Bai's side are now even more willing to follow the stick and bluntly stated the "benefits" that Lu Bai will bring to the Lu family as the next generation head of the Lu family.
As for the elders who were standing on the side of the eldest young master of the Lu family, Lu Song, they all looked at each other and smiled bitterly at each other.
In normal times, when they heard these rivals flattering the second young master 'Lu Bai' like this, they would have been sarcastic, but now, they absolutely did not dare.
Who knows if Master Duan will wave his sleeves and leave because of their "ignorance".
After all, he is a friend of the second young master Lu Bai, and they seem to have a good relationship.
They didn't want to become the eternal sinners of the Lu family, so they had no choice but to keep their mouths shut.
At the same time, some of them were breaking into cold sweats and their thoughts suddenly changed, thinking whether they should abandon their old master and surrender to the second young master 'Lu Bai'.
After all, the current second young master ‘Lu Bai’ has become a first-grade alchemist, and his status in the Lu family is destined to rise.
Even the highest-status head of the Lu family and the three guardian elders will pay more attention to him who was in a weak position in the past.
Hearing that the elders of the Lu family, who used to be neutral and neither on his side nor on Lu Song's side, flattered him, there were even more signs of surrender in his words.
Lu Bai couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.
He never expected that Duan Lingtian's words would be more useful than his past ten years of management.
He has been running the business for ten years before some elders of the Lu family favored him, and now he is here to help him.
After a second thought, Lu Bai felt relieved again.
Duan Lingtian is, after all, a 'first-grade alchemist', a high-ranking existence to the Lu family, and an existence that cannot be desecrated.
You can imagine.
If he were a 'first-grade alchemist', not to mention that he would no longer have to fight with Lu Song, even if he wanted the current head of the Lu family to step down and he wanted to become the head of the Lu family immediately, no one in the Lu family would have any objections.
No matter who is in the Lu family, once he breaks through and becomes a 'first-grade alchemist', his status in the Lu family will be superior to everyone else.
He said one, but no one in the Lu family dared to say two.
Including the head of the Lu family and other powerful martial emperors of the Lu family, there are no exceptions.
The Lu family has been passed down for thousands of years, and the earliest ancestral precept passed down is this one:
A first-grade alchemist, regardless of whether he is a direct descendant or a collateral descendant, has the highest status and is superior to everyone in the Lu family.
The descendants of future generations must not violate it.
Perhaps, because of this, the people of the Lu family developed a conditioned reflex like a mouse seeing a cat after seeing a 'first-grade alchemist'.
"However, it seems that I killed the third young master of the Lu family just now? I will not be punished after I become the guest elder of the Lu family, right?"
Just when everyone in the Lu family was extremely excited, Duan Lingtian said these words out of thin air, as if pouring cold water on the heads of everyone in the Lu family who were happily taking a hot bath.
It made them all tremble and tremble, and they all came back to their senses.
"Of course not!"
The head of the Lu family, ‘Lu Rui’, was the first to come to his senses and shook his head to express his opinion.
"That kid Lu Huai has never been a fuel-efficient guy in the past... I think if he hadn't taken the initiative to provoke you, 'Elder Duan,' you would never have killed him."
Lu Zhi, the guardian elder of the Lu family who was standing next to Lu Rui, followed.
Lu Zhi had already called Duan Lingtian ‘Elder Duan’ in his words.
From the moment Duan Lingtian agreed to become the Lu family's "Ke Qing elder", he was already the Lu family's elder, a high-status Ke Qing elder.
Just as the head of the Lu family, Lu Rui, said.
He is the Lu family’s ‘first guest’!
On status.
Even Lu Rui treated him with respect and did not dare to neglect him.
With his current position in the Lu family, to a certain extent, he seems to be superior to everyone.
"That's right! That kid Lu Huai, I thought he didn't look like a good person in the past. Elder Duan, you did a good job of killing him and getting rid of the harm for our Lu family."
Another guardian elder ‘Lu Yuan’ followed and said.
"Yes, Elder Duan, you have cleaned up the Lu family. We are grateful to you before it is too late. How can we punish you?"
The guardian elder ‘Lu Gui’, who had previously been clamoring to personally attack Duan Lingtian, kill Duan Lingtian and avenge Lu Huai, now has a completely different face.
His face changed so quickly that everyone present was stunned.
However, no one dared to say a word.
What a joke!
They are not like Duan Lingtian, who is a first-grade alchemist.
If they dare to gossip about the Lu family guardian elder, the other party may take action against them now due to lack of face, but once the other party finds the opportunity, they will never let them go.
"If you compare Yunxiao Continent to the 'starry sky', and compare the people on Yunxiao Continent to the 'stars' in the starry sky... Young Master, he is undoubtedly the brightest one!"
Xiong Quan stood in the distance with a thick smile on his face, feeling proud that he could follow such a young master.
However, when he thought about it again, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged when he thought about his insignificant strength.
With his current strength, he can't help the young master at all, he can only hold him back.
"I hope that by relying on the Lu family this time, I can further improve my strength quickly...According to the young master's words, in addition to using spiritual fruits to increase my cultivation level, what other 'tongxuan formation' can be used to enhance my understanding."
The artistic conception of the sword'."
At this time, Xiong Quan remembered what Duan Lingtian had said to him not long ago.
"This Lu family should have spiritual fruits and some kind of 'Tongxuan Formation', right?"
Thinking of this, Xiong Quan felt a little uneasy.
"That's good."
Although he had already guessed that the senior officials of the Lu family would not be able to deal with him after he revealed his identity as a 'first-grade alchemist', Duan Lingtian felt secretly happy when he actually heard them say that.
He didn't expect it.
Being a first-grade alchemist is actually so useful.
"Of course, this is also because the Lu family is the 'alchemist family'... If it were another family like the Lu family, they might not be so polite to me."
Duan Lingtian knew this very well.
"Elder Duan, you have been traveling so hard, please come into the mansion to rest."
Lu Rui greeted Duan Lingtian warmly, and then looked at Lu Bai, "Let Lu Bai take you there."
"There's no rush... I also want to see the 'Alchemist Competition'."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and said.
Although it is now impossible for him to participate in the 'alchemist competition' held by the Lu family, he is still very interested in standing aside and watching, because this is the first competition between 'alchemists' that he has encountered in his life.
He was very curious and looking forward to it.
I am curious about how the alchemist competition determines the winner, and I am curious about the level of alchemists outside the region.
He was expecting a group of alchemists present to take action. This was the first time he had seen so many alchemists.
"Since Elder Duan is so interested, we will accompany you together."
Lu Rui smiled and said to Duan Lingtian.
The other senior executives of the Lu family nodded one by one. They didn't have any opinions, and they didn't dare to have any opinions.
"Head of the family, elders, I just want to take a look... you should go back and rest first."
Duan Lingtian saw the enthusiasm of the senior officials led by Lu Rui, the head of the Lu family, and was a little overwhelmed for the moment, so he quickly said.
"Elder Duan, the main reason why we want to stay is to see your comments on the alchemy skills of these little guys... I think that since you are here, the 'chief referee' of this alchemist competition must be you.
.”
Lu Zhi also smiled and said to Duan Lingtian.
However, the smile on his face looked like the smile of an 'old fox' in Duan Lingtian's eyes.
"Yes, Elder Duan, we all want to see you comment on these little guys."
A group of elders of the Lu family beat snakes and followed them with sticks.
