Volume 4: A New Era Chapter 617: Exit and Explanation
"you!"
Looking at Lu Xiao and Lu Ping standing in front of him, Lu Zhong's blood suddenly boiled and a fishy-sweet taste rose in his throat.
puff!
Then, a mouthful of blood spurted out of Lu Zhong's mouth, and his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
This is because I’m angry!
"father!"
At this time, Lu Qian's slightly panicked voice came from behind the Lu family. He pushed through the crowd in a panic and walked quickly to Lu Zhong, bending down to check on Lu Zhong's situation.
He had just gone to pick up the royal family, but when he arrived at the door, he was surprised to find that almost everyone from the royal family was injured, and some were even vomiting blood.
In desperation, Lu Qian had to settle these people first and find a doctor to see the injured, which is why he came back late.
But who would have thought that as soon as he returned to the ancestral temple, he saw his own father vomiting blood and falling to the ground.
"Second uncle, third aunt, what on earth is this..."
Lu Qian looked at Lu Xiao and Lu Ping in front of him in a daze . His father was fine before he left, so how come he became like this when he came back?
"Xiao Qian..."
Lu Ping also sighed and glanced at Lu Xiao. Lu Xiao naturally understood what he meant. He coughed twice and announced to the crowd: "According to the bet just now, Wang did not kill my father, the head of the family, so Lu Zhong lost this round! According to the previous agreement..."
At this point, Lu Xiao paused and said loudly: "From now on, the Lu Zhong lineage will always be a branch of the Lu family!"
"What? Second Uncle, what are you talking about?"
Lu Qian said in disbelief: "Why, why would we become a branch? On what basis!"
"This is a decision your father made himself. Why don't you wait until he wakes up and ask him yourself..." Lu Xiao said lightly.
After ordering his men to carry Lü Zhong away, Lü Xiao glanced at Wang Bing and continued, "Wang Bing, stop it. A fight is about to start, which will not do you any good. The Lu family has already given you the explanation you should give..."
"That was originally my 'trophy'!" Wang Bing's face was gloomy, and the flames of the five elements' essence in front of him were boiling.
"Okay! I understand. I'll give you a reply later..."
Lu Xiao took a deep look at Wang Bing, then turned to look at Lu Ping beside him and said, "Third sister, do you still want to compete with me for this position?"
Among the descendants of Lu Ci of the Lu family, only Lu Zhong and Lu Xiao can compete for this position.
Now, Lu Zhong and his lineage have been permanently demoted to a branch, and have completely left the Lu family's power center. As for the head of the family, there is naturally no need to think too much about it.
"Oh, I know!"
After saying this, Lu Ping also walked down dejectedly and stood in front of the Lu family members below.
"Fourth brother, what about you?"
Lu Xiao turned his head and looked at Lu Yi and asked, "Since you have already stated that you do not support Lu Zhong, then I would like to ask you, do you support me?"
“It doesn’t matter!”
Lu Yi acted indifferent and said, "As long as it's not you, my eldest brother or my third sister, I don't care!"
After saying that, he walked down and stood shoulder to shoulder with Lu Ping in front of everyone in the Lu family.
"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll be the head of the family. Do you have any objections ?" Lu Xiao put his hands behind his back and looked at the many Lu family members in the audience. His tone was more like a statement than a question...
“…”
The Lu family members off the court looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"I'll wait..."
Standing in front of everyone, Lu Ping and Lu Yi clasped their fists and bowed to Lu Xiao, leading the way and saying, "Greetings, Patriarch of the Lu Family!"
Following the lead of the two old men, the people of the Lu family behind them also seemed to react. They all clasped their fists and saluted towards Lu Xiao, saying, "We greet the head of the Lu family!"
At this moment, Lu Xiao's position as the head of the Lu family was finally vindicated under the witness of everyone and ancestors!
"Okay, since I am the head of the Lu family from now on, I will issue an order as the head of the family!" Lu Xiao said.
What? The head of the family needs to issue an order now?
The so-called family head order is usually not issued lightly, and it can only be used when the family is in a major crisis, but this...
"From now on, everyone in the Lu family, regardless of gender, has the right to compete for the position of the head of the Lu family. No matter if they are women in the family or women who have married out, they all have this right!" Lu Xiao said.
When these words were spoken, everyone present was dumbfounded. They could understand the first half. Although the Lu family was somewhat patriarchal and women had never served as the head of the family, this time their rights were "legally" guaranteed. But what did the second half mean?
Everyone seemed to have a telepathic connection and locked their eyes on Lu Huan at the same time.
Isn't this just opening a back door for Lu Huan!
The meaning is very clear. Even if Lu Huan marries into the Wang family in the future, she can still come back to fight for the inheritance rights of the Lu family.
"Second brother, isn't this a bit too much?" Even as a woman, Lu Ping found it hard to accept.
Lu Xiao ignored Lu Ping's objection and looked at Wang Bing below and said, "Wang Bing, are you satisfied with this explanation?"
Is this an explanation to Wang Bing?
The smart people in the Lu family seemed to have thought of something, and their eyes changed when they looked at Lu Xiao again. In response, the expression on Lu Xiao's face did not change .
“…”
call!
After a long silence, Wang took the essence of the five elements back into his body, and the majestic flames disappeared instantly. "Good!"
After seeing Wang Bing's agreement, Lu Xiao also waved his hand and said, "Alright, go back now. I guess you don't have that much energy to continue the ceremony now. Wang Bing Huan'er, you two follow me..."
After sending away everyone from the Lu family, Lu Xiao left Wang Bing and Lu Huan alone.
It has to be said that this was the first time that Wang Bing wanted to get to know Lu Xiao again, because Lu Xiao's move was unexpected.
Wang Bing even told Lu Huan that if possible, Lu Xiao should be brainwashed and then he would just pass the position to you.
With the power of the two lineages, Lu Xiao and Lu Yi, Lu Huan is equivalent to having a "fist" and a "money bag". Who else can be the head of the Lu family except her in the future?
But after Lu Xiaolai's move, I'm afraid Lu Huan will definitely not agree to the strategy they have formulated to brainwash Lu Xiaolai.
"How about this answer? Are you satisfied with it?"
Lu Xiao, who was walking in front, suddenly asked, "In this way, Huan'er can also take the position of the head of the Lu family."
"It is indeed quite sudden. You know, this is an order from the head of the family that will be opposed by the entire clan."
Wang Bing said in a deep voice: "You dare to say that, so you must have a countermeasure. If I am not mistaken, Shuangquanshou, are you going to make it public?"
"You are truly worthy of being the Wang family's demon!"
Lu Xiao raised his lips slightly and said, "That's right. If I just give this kind of order, the tribesmen will definitely not accept it. But if there is a condition that Shuangquan Hands can do it, do you think they will agree?"
