Great Patriarch showed no emotion. He looked at Qiu Wenze and then Lu Fenghuo and the others. In the end, he looked at Lu Li who stood out from the crowd. Great Patriarch had mixed feelings.
He looked at Lu Lin and the others on their knees, waved his hand and said, "Leave now. I will take care of things here."
Lu Lin and the others raised their heads and took a glance at the Supreme Elder. In the end, they didn't say anything and turned to leave.
This Grand Elder's prestige in the family was too high, and no one dared to disobey his will.
The escorts and onlookers all left. Only Lu Li, the patriarchs, Qiu Wenze and Yu Huashen were left in the Hall of Patriarchs.
Great Patriarch looked at Qiu Wenze and said, "Tianming, send Qiu Wenze back to the Palace of Gods. Tell Qiu Wancheng that the engagement between Feixue and Qiu Wenze is off. Tell him to discipline his son."
"Ah?"
Lu Fenghuo and the others were shocked. They were about to say something when Great Patriarch waved his hand and said, "That is it. I have made up my mind."
Patriarch Five nodded. He flew up with Qiu Wenze and flew out of the Mystic Armor Mountain. Soon, they disappeared from sight.
Great Patriarch looked at Lu Fenghuo and Lu Liantian. He said after some thoughts, "Fenghuo, Liantian, remember this. Do not disappoint the disciples of the Lu Family no matter what.
The Lu Family can stand at the Central Plains for a million years not because of the King Kong Bloodline, but because of the unity and cohesiveness of our disciples. I will let this go. I will punish Lu Li. "
"Whoosh!"
With that said, Great Patriarch grabbed Lu Li and disappeared from the Hall of Patriarchs. The other patriarchs looked at each other with mixed feelings.
"I am getting old and confused …"
Patriarch Eight sighed. He had calmed down completely.
He was so angry just now. If he had been calm and controlled the situation, things wouldn't have gotten so out of hand.
The Eighth Elder understood the Grand Elder's way of dealing with this matter.
Lu Li could almost kill Qiu Wenze who was at the Noble Lord Realm twice when he was only at the Soul Pond Realm. That alone was enough for Great Patriarch to forgive him.
Lu Renhuang was a genius and his son was even more so. Even though Qiu Wenze was a good-for-nothing, he was still at the Noble Lord Realm.
He was almost killed by Lu Li twice?
There was no doubt about Lu Li's talent.
For a family, a talented disciple was more important than anything else.
Those who did not know the rules could be taught slowly, and those who were young and frivolous could be understood, but not everyone could have abnormal talent.
…
Being grabbed by Great Patriarch, Lu Li felt his vision blur and then he was outside the gate of the castle on the water.
Great Patriarch waved his hand and the gate opened quietly. He walked in with Lu Li.
The interior was not as luxurious as he had imagined. On the contrary, it was very simple. As soon as he entered, he saw a large hall with a few square tables. On one of the tables was a pot of hot tea.
After coming in, Great Patriarch put Lu Li down. He went straight to the cattail hassock behind the square table and sat down with his legs crossed. After pouring himself a cup of tea, he looked at Lu Li and said, "Take care of your wounds first. You are just as hot-tempered as your father …"
Lu Li took out a towel to wipe off the blood in silence and deactivated the Blood Claw Skill. He changed into a clean robe, took a healing pellet and hid Little White in his sleeve.
With that done, Lu Li sat down in front of Great Patriarch, poured himself a cup of tea, rinsed his mouth and drank without hesitation. He didn't even look at Great Patriarch.
"Ha, ha!"
Great Patriarch was amused by Lu Li's behavior. He squinted at Lu Li and said, "What?
Are you angry at me?
Punk, even your grandpa has to call me Fifth Uncle. Don't you know how to respect your elders? "
Lu Li glanced at Great Patriarch and said, "You are not a good person either. You won't come out unless things get out of hand?
Don't you know anything about my aunt? "
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Great Patriarch laughed instead of getting angry. He shook his head and said, "You are wrong about this. I have not bothered myself with the trivial matters of the family for many years.
Even if you killed Qiu Wenze, it is not a big deal for me. What is the big deal? "
Lu Li thought about it and agreed. Great Patriarch was so powerful that even the destruction of the Palace of Gods would not be a big deal for him.
Now that the old man had come out and publicly announced that he had annulled the engagement between Qiu Wenze and Lu Feixue, Lu Li was less angry.
Taking a sip of tea, Lu Li nodded and said, "Okay, let's put this behind us.
Great Patriarch, I want to ask … where is my grandpa?
Is he dead or alive? "
Great Patriarch's expressions darkened. He lowered his head and said after a while, "You are too weak. I cannot tell you now. You have the right to know when you reach the Human Sovereign Realm.
But I can tell you one thing. Your grandpa … is alive. "
"That's good …"
Lu Li sighed. As long as he was alive, he would see him sooner or later.
Lu Li didn't ask any more questions. Great Patriarch began, "Punk, why didn't you awaken the King Kong Bloodline?
Where did you get your beast claw?
How come I feel … it is like a Bloodline Skill?
And what about that roar of yours?
What is the rank of that beast? "
"This old man is so observant."
Lu Li exclaimed to himself but he didn't want to tell Great Patriarch the truth.
Patriarch Eight said that Great Patriarch was absolutely loyal to the family and his grandpa.
But what Patriarch Eight did just now had pissed Lu Li off. Naturally, Lu Li could not trust this Great Patriarch completely.
Lu Li randomly said, "I don't know why I cannot awaken the King Kong Bloodline. I went to the temple and failed.
As for the beast claw and the roar, they are just skills I got from a relic. For you, they are just small tricks, not worth mentioning. "
"What about that doppelganger divine skill?" The Great Elder said with a smile, "Is it also small and insignificant?
How come I feel there is a Profound Meaning in it? "
Lu Li didn't want to hide this. He frankly said, "There is a Profound Meaning in it. It is the Mirror Image Profound Meaning. I picked it up accidentally."
"Accidentally …"
Even Great Patriarch was speechless. He didn't want to ask more since Lu Li didn't want to say.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Li for a while. He exclaimed, "You are so lucky. Too bad you didn't awaken the King Kong Bloodline."
After a pause, Great Patriarch asked again, "Where is your father?
You really don't know? "
Lu Li already had something to hide, so he wouldn't say it now. He asked back, "If I knew where my father was, why would I come back alone?
I almost died on the way. My sister was taken to the Cyan Plains. Do you think if my father was with us, my sister and I would be in such a miserable state?
I am still at the Soul Pond Realm. "
"Alas …"
Great Patriarch sighed, shook his head and said, "Your father's temperament is similar to yours. You are both stubborn.
If he didn't run away from home, your grandpa wouldn't be in trouble.
Your grandfather would have been fine, and the Lu family wouldn't have fallen to such a state … "
"What happened?" Lu Li frowned and asked in a hurry, "What happened to my grandpa?"
"I said I cannot tell you!"
