The news of Lu Li making a scene at the Hall of Patriarchs spread across the Mystic Armor Mountain and then the Mystic Armor City.
The entire Mystic Armor City was bustling. It had been a long time since something so exciting had happened.
What was more, even Great Patriarch was alerted. The cause was that Lu Feixue was bullied and Lu Li, as her nephew, stood up for her.
He almost killed Qiu Wenze twice in front of the Patriarchs, a young man at the Soul Pond Realm, the son of Lu Renhuang and the grandson of the Family Patriarch of the Lu Family. Naturally, this would cause a sensation.
Many people didn't know about Lu Li's identity before. After this incident, they all knew. Also, many people were sure that Lu Li was Lu Renhuang's son.
If he were not the son of Lu Renhuang, why would Lu Li stand up for Lu Feixue?
How could the Grand Supreme Elder allow the Fourth Elder to send Qiu Wenze back and even cancel the engagement between them?
Breaking off the engagement would be like slapping the Heavenly God Manor in the face. It might even incur the wrath of the Heavenly God Manor's Manor Master, Qiu Wancheng.
At that time, it would not be a good thing for the Lu Family if the God of Heaven Manor was not on their side.
Great Patriarch said he would punish Lu Li, but he didn't say anything else.
Lu Li was taken to the castle in the middle of the lake. After a while, he was sent back to the Dragon's Pavilion. There was no announcement from the family.
Clearly, Great Patriarch had sided with Lu Li. This matter would be left unsettled …
Whatever the truth, Lu Li had become famous at the Mystic Armor City and at the Lu Family.
As the grandson of the Family Patriarch of the Lu Family, Lu Li had become the idol of many young masters and young ladies of the Lu Family.
…
Yu Huashen was released. Since Lu Li didn't want to punish him, Yu Huashen, a slave, had to listen to Lu Li's orders.
Punishing him would be pointless. Instead, it would enrage Lu Li again.
Lu Li went back to the Dragon's Pavilion. Lu Feixue had been informed and she was crying her eyes out.
Seeing that Lu Li was back in one piece, she ran over and hugged Lu Li, sobbing again.
"Alright, Aunt, your engagement with Qiu Wenze has been dissolved. As long as I'm still alive, no one can bully you!"
Lu Li patted Lu Feixue's shoulder to comfort her. She nodded but could not say anything.
He took Lu Feixue in and comforted her for a moment.
After she calmed down, Lu Li asked why Qiu Wenze dared to torture her.
Lu Feixue was the daughter of the Lu Family Patriarch. How could Qiu Wenze, a Young Master of an affiliated force, be so bold?
Even if something happened to his grandfather, he wasn't dead, right?
His father had gone to the Northern Desert. He would come back one day.
Lu Feixue hesitated for a while before she told Lu Li the truth. Lu Li learned something about what happened back then.
Twenty years ago, Lu Renhuang and Lu Li's grandpa left home out of anger. Back then, Lu Feixue was only a teenager.
Lu Li's grandpa was enraged. He went into closed-door cultivation and told nobody in the family to look for Lu Renhuang.
Lu Li's grandma was so angry that she fell ill. Five years after Lu Renhuang's disappearance, she passed away.
No one cared about Lu Feixue anymore. She became arrogant and rebellious, often causing trouble.
Since Lu Li's grandpa was in closed-door cultivation, the family members didn't dare to do anything. The patriarchs were cleaning up for her but at the same time, they were getting more and more disappointed with her …
Later on, Lu Feixue fell in love with a young master, not from the eastern Central Plains, but from a small family in the Central Plains.
Her father was in closed-door cultivation, her mother died of illness, and her brother was missing. Lu Feixue was rebellious and arrogant.
She couldn't stop after she fell in love with this young master. She and the young master became a couple. The entire eastern Central Plains was in an uproar.
When the family learned about it, they wouldn't agree. Lu Feixue was of high status.
She was the daughter of the Family Patriarch of the 12 Royal Families. How could she marry a young master from a small family?
Not from a family at the eastern Central Plains.
Lu Family had many enemies. What if this young master was a spy?
As a result …
Lu Feixue experienced the same tragedy that happened to Jiang Qiling. Lu Feixue reported to Lu Li's grandpa, Lu Zhengyang.
Lu Zhengyang ordered in person that Lu Feixue should be locked up for three years and then married to Qiu Wenze.
Lu Feixue didn't give up after being locked up for three years. On the day of her marriage, she ran away to look for that young master from a small family.
However, that small family disappeared. Lu Family sent someone to threaten the small family. The small family moved away and their whereabouts were unknown.
Lu Feixue was taken back and sent to the Palace of Gods.
Lu Feixue had accepted her fate. Qiu Wenze, on the other hand, had become the laughing stock of the eastern Central Plains. Naturally, Qiu Wenze was unhappy. He felt he had been cheated on …
In the first few years, things were fine. But after something happened to Lu Li's grandpa, Lu Zhengyang, Qiu Wenze began to get drunk and torture Lu Feixue.
Lu Feixue did complain to the family. But the patriarchs of the Lu Family could not interfere.
The most they could do was to send someone to the Palace of Gods to talk about it.
Every time, Qiu Wenze would restrain himself and after a while, he would start again …
Her father was in trouble, her brother was missing, and her mother was dead. The patriarchs didn't care.
Lu Feixue had accepted her fate. Over the years, she had been tortured to death. Gradually, she became resigned to adversity.
If it were not for her father and grandpa, she would have committed suicide a long time ago …
This was a sad story. Many young ladies of major families could not make their own decisions about their marriages. Lu Li knew this very well. There was no right or wrong in this.
Of course, Lu Li chose to side with the family. He would not let anyone bully his only aunt.
"Okay, aunt, your engagement is over. You don't have to go back and suffer anymore.
You can live with me. Who in the Lu Family dares to disrespect you? I will stand up for you! "
Looking at Lu Feixue who was in tears, Lu Li sighed and patted her on the shoulder.
Then he handed her some healing pellets and asked, "Aunt, what happened to grandpa?"
Lu Feixue had taken the healing pellets but she was not fully recovered. She shook her head and said, "I don't know. Nobody told me. Only the patriarchs have the right to know.
But … I heard some rumors that 10 years ago, my father went to the Voodoo Land of the South to look for my brother. He was badly injured.
He went back to closed-door cultivation and never came out for 10 years. Because of that, the City of Mystic Armor was sealed off. "
"Badly injured?"
Lu Li frowned. He remembered how Great Patriarch talked about his grandpa and how the other patriarchs avoided talking about it. Lu Li felt his heart was weighed down.
His grandpa must have been badly injured or else the Lu Family wouldn't have sealed off the city …
Lu Li could accept that the Lu Family sealed off the city and blocked the information.
The Family Patriarch was badly injured so the Family should seal off the city and keep a low profile. No information could be leaked out or they would be attacked by their enemies.
Lu Li thought about it for a while. Suddenly, he turned to Yu Huashen and Ming Yu and said, "Try to sense if anyone is nearby."
Ming Yu and Yu Huashen closed their eyes and tried to sense. After a while, they nodded.
Lu Li asked in a low voice, "Aunt, who do you think I can trust in the family?
What I'm trying to say is … can Grand Elder trust someone he can trust absolutely? "
The only person Lu Li could trust in the family was Lu Feixue. If Lu Feixue said that Great Patriarch was trustworthy, Lu Li would tell her the whereabouts of Lu Renhuang.
As long as Great Patriarch took action, Lu Renhuang could be saved from the Ice Abyss.
Lu Feixue was surprised. Why did Lu Li ask this?
Seeing how serious Lu Li was, she thought about it. After a while, she shook her head and said, "I think … nobody can be trusted, including the two Great Patriarchs!"
"The two Great Patriarchs?"
