Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Hmph! Lu Xiaoxiang, you unworthy descendant of the Lu family, how dare you even show your face here!"

Just as everyone present was discussing this, a hoarse, aged snort came from afar.

Swish!

The next moment, a figure in black robes arrived through the air. A sinister and cold look flashed across the wrinkled old face, and his cold eyes were fixed on Lu Xiaoxiang not far away, clearly showing his dissatisfaction with the latter.

"That old bastard is here after all...!"

Lu Xiaoxiang glanced at the angry old man in black robes opposite her, her gaze turning slightly cold. Then, her jade-like hands clenched into fists beneath her sleeves, clearly indicating that she also had a long-standing grudge against the former and was not on good terms with him.

As for the old man in black robes in front of him, he was none other than Lu Feng, the second-in-command of the Lu family and the eldest elder of the Lu family!

"Even the Grand Elder has come?!"

"This humble servant greets the Grand Elder...!"

Upon seeing that the newcomer was none other than Lu Feng, the eldest elder of the Lu family, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly. They dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately knelt down to pay their respects, all saying in unison.

After all, Lu Feng is not only the eldest elder of the Lu family, but also a master of the tenth level of the Spirit Soul Realm. Even among the seventh-rank aristocratic families in Yangguan City, he is among the best. Ordinary martial artists cannot afford to provoke him, let alone the servants of the Lu family.

"Hehe, it's only been a little over a year since I last saw you, but the Grand Elder is still as imposing and dashing as ever, unchanged..."

Faced with Lu Feng's angry rebuke, Lu Xiaoxiang merely smiled coldly, then changed the subject, saying in a mocking tone, "It's just a pity that the title of 'unworthy descendant' is too great for me to bear, so it's more suitable for you, Elder..."

"presumptuous!"

Seeing that Lu Xiaoxiang not only talked back in public but also didn't take him, the Grand Elder, seriously, Lu Feng's beard trembled, his eyes widened, and his old face turned ashen. He was clearly furious!

After all, he was the dignified elder of the Lu family, whose power and status were almost second only to Lu Jinyuan, the head of the Lu family. Yet now he was being publicly ridiculed by a little girl like Lu Xiaoxiang. Naturally, Lu Feng felt humiliated and was furious!

"You lot, seize this unfilial descendant for me!"

With another angry shout, Lu Feng flicked his sleeves and immediately ordered the Lu family guards beside him to take action, while simultaneously capturing Lu Xiaoxiang on the other side.

"What?!"

"The Grand Elder is actually going to attack the young lady?"

"Did I hear that right...?!"

"What on earth is going on...!"

Faced with Lu Feng's order, the Lu family guards present looked at each other in bewilderment, then stood frozen in place, seemingly confused about the situation and unwilling to make a move.

After all, Lu Xiaoxiang was the eldest daughter of Lu Jinyuan, the former head of the Lu family, and a beloved young lady of the family. Lu Feng, standing beside her, was the current elder of the Lu family. Both of them held high positions, and neither of them could afford to offend them!

"What are you bunch of good-for-nothings standing there for?"

"Hurry up and take down this unworthy descendant of the Lu family on the spot!"

Upon discovering that the Lu family guards were still standing there like wooden statues, Lu Feng's face darkened, his white beard trembled, and he roared, "Are you bunch of good-for-nothings so disobedient that you won't even obey this elder's orders?!"

Although Lu Feng's personal strength would make dealing with Lu Xiaoxiang, who was only at the sixth level of the Qi Opening Realm, a piece of cake, he did not want to do it himself.

Because Lu Feng is, after all, a master of the tenth level of the Spirit Soul Realm, and he holds the high position of the Lu family's Grand Elder. If he were to make a move against a junior in the Opening Meridian Realm, it would undoubtedly be beneath his dignity and unbecoming of his status.

Moreover, if this matter gets out, it will damage Lu Feng's reputation and prestige, and may even attract ridicule from outsiders.

"Are they going to make their move so soon...?"

Seeing that Lu Feng intended to capture Lu Xiaoxiang on the spot, Lu Feng, who had originally planned to watch the show, narrowed his eyes and secretly circulated his dantian energy, as if he was about to make a move at any moment.

Although he had no interest in the internal strife within the Lu family, Lu Feng would not stand idly by if anyone dared to attack Lu Xiaoxiang!

As for Lu Feng, the eldest elder of the Lu family, Lu Feng didn't take him seriously either!

After all, the opponent was merely a martial artist at the tenth level of the Spirit Soul Realm, and in Lu Feng's eyes, such a weak cultivation was no different from an ant, which could be destroyed with a wave of his hand!

"Hehe, Brother Feng, now that your niece Xiaoxiang has finally returned to the family, you're going to shout and threaten her. If these words were to reach the ears of the family head, it might not be appropriate..."

Just as the atmosphere on the scene was tense and a major battle was about to break out, a light, playful laugh drifted over from afar, causing everyone present to tense up and look up.

"Another Spirit Soul Realm level 10?"

Hearing the sound, Lu Feng looked over and raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise on his face.

On the opposite rooftop, an old man in green robes stood with his hands behind his back. His hair was completely white, making him look like he was over seventy years old. However, he was always surrounded by a remarkable aura of Yuan power, which was no weaker than Lu Feng's on the ground, making him a force to be reckoned with!

"It's Elder Lu Lin!"

Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out from the crowd, as if someone had also recognized the old man in green robes. The crowd immediately became even more agitated.

"Second brother? What are you doing here...!"

Upon seeing that the newcomer was Lu Lin, the second elder of the Lu family, Lu Feng also frowned slightly, and then a barely perceptible hint of ferocity flashed across his cloudy eyes.

Because the other party is not only the second elder of the Lu family, but also a direct descendant of the Lu family like him. Moreover, Lu Lin's own Yuan power cultivation is no weaker than his, and he is also a martial artist at the tenth level of the Spirit Soul Realm!

In other words, besides his little niece Lu Xiaoxiang, Lu Lin in front of him is also one of his rivals for the position of family head!

Therefore, when Lu Feng saw Lu Lin suddenly appear out of nowhere and stop him from attacking Lu Xiaoxiang, he naturally felt angry and very unhappy!

"Miss Lu, who is this guy again...?"

Seeing Lu Lin suddenly appear and stop Elder Lu Feng from making a move, Lu Feng was also somewhat surprised. He then secretly transmitted his voice to Lu Xiaoxiang.

"This person is named Lu Jinlin. Like the First Elder Lu Jinfeng, he is the son of the former Lu family patriarch Lu Tianting. He is also ranked second among the sons. His aptitude for cultivation and his talent and comprehension are both quite strong."

"However, although this person is strong, he is still no match for his own younger brother, Lu Jinyuan."

Faced with Lu Feng's inquiries, Lu Xiaoxiang did not deliberately hide anything, but instead told him everything, clearly not treating him as an outsider at all.

"His younger brother, Lu Jinyuan?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng first stroked his chin, then seemed to remember something, and immediately said, "Miss Lu, could these two old men be your father... uh, the biological elder brother of the Lu family patriarch?"

"good."

"Heh, so you're choosing your youngest son instead of your eldest son as heir? Miss Lu, your family's method of succession is rather unique..."

Hearing this, Lu Feng grinned, his tone playful.

"Within the Lu family, all power and status are determined by the strength of the individual, regardless of age."

Faced with Lu Feng's teasing, Lu Xiaoxiang merely shook her head slightly, seemingly having anticipated this. "Ever since the passing of the former Lu family patriarch, Lu Tianting, who passed the position of family head to his youngest son, Lu Jinyuan, both Lu Jinlin and Lu Jinfeng changed their names to maintain the family head's dignity and avoid taboos. They not only dropped the 'Jin' character from their names but also addressed their younger brother, Lu Jinyuan, as their superior..."

"Perhaps it is precisely because of this matter, and the supreme position of the family head, that these old fogies are so covetous and envious of the position, even disregarding brotherhood and engaging in endless infighting..."

"Besides Lu Feng and Lu Lin, the remaining Third Elder Lu Huo and Fourth Elder Lu Shan are no better, and they are also eyeing the position of family head..."

Lu Xiaoxiang's tone remained calm, clearly indicating that the Second Elder Lu Lin's sudden appearance was not to help her, but merely to trip up the First Elder Lu Feng, since the enemy of my enemy is my friend!

"The Four Elders of Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng first stroked his chin, then looked at Lu Feng and the others not far away, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Heh, it seems these guys, though seemingly united on the surface, are all harboring their own ulterior motives..."

"Miss Lu, this is a golden opportunity; we should seize it one by one and not let it slip away...!"
