Finally, the Lu Mansion quieted down after two months of bustle.
Almost every powerful warrior on Lu Li's side came to visit Lu Li. Their leader was back, but they didn't come. Were they tired of living?
Lu Li was very courteous to them and accepted all their gifts.
Lu Li also gave some treasures selectively. He had extorted many resources from the Rhino Apes and he distributed some of them.
Carrot and stick.
This was the most practical way to command subordinates. When people followed you, they would want benefits. Otherwise, why else would they follow you?
If you wanted subordinates to be afraid of you, you must give them benefits. Only in this way would they be loyal to you.
By sticking together with Lu Li, they had already gained many benefits.
Those on Lu Li's side were in high positions and had the highest status at the Society of Patriarchs.
Since they were in the highest position, they would gain the most benefits.
Now that Lu Li had given them treasures, they were grateful. They believed they were following the right person and they were even more loyal to him.
Lu Li began to spend time with his wives quietly after he sent them away. The days were easy and comfortable.
Lu Li's wives had resigned themselves to the fact that they could not have children. Now, they were focused on Lu An and An Luer. They were ready to have a grandchild …
As far as Lu Li's wives were concerned, An Luer was Lu Li's apprentice and half a daughter. They doted on her and wanted to find a good family for her to have children.
Lu An was Lu Li's adopted son. Even though he was not Lu Li's biological son, Jiang Qiling and the others watched him grow up. Therefore, they doted on him.
It was a pity that Lu An did not live up to expectations.
Maybe, it was because Lu An was not talented and he grew up in the mortal world. Therefore, he had been making slow progress in realms.
Many disciples of the Lu Alliance had reached the Lord Realm but Lu An had been stuck at the peak of the Fifth Tribulation.
If it were not for the sake of Lu An's future, Yin Qingsi and the others would have used some special means to help him pass the Heavenly Tribulation.
In the beginning, Lu An was sensible and obedient. However, after he came to the Chaotic Universe, he became impetuous.
As Lu Li's son, Lu Li enjoyed a high status. The Saint Emperors on Lu Li's side could not flatter Lu Li, so they took a roundabout way to befriend Lu An.
The young masters from the family of patriarchs came to make friends with Lu An. At first, Jiang Qiling thought it was good to have more friends. Lu An needed his own social circle and he needed to get to know the young masters of death. Therefore, they let him be.
In the past few decades, Lu An had become somewhat outrageous.
He often fooled around with those young masters and messed around everywhere.
Fortunately, he didn't make any big mistakes. Therefore, the higher-ups of the Grim Reaper basically turned a blind eye to it. Patriarch Lu of the Hall of Penalty was on Lu Li's side. Why would he care about Lu Li's son?
Lu An had been corrupted!
Jiang Qiling didn't dare to tell Lu Li about this. Lu Li and Lu An didn't spend a long time together and they weren't that close.
Since Jiang Qiling and the others didn't mention it, Jiang Qiling wouldn't ask about it.
But when he came back, she told him that Lu An was out on an adventure. Lu Li didn't ask further.
Lu An had been spending his days drinking and fooling around with young ladies from small families. It was said that he had gotten into trouble recently.
Jiang Qiling was afraid that something might happen to Lu An so she had been trying to arrange a marriage for Lu An. She wanted him to marry a young lady from a respectable family so that Lu An would be more relaxed.
Jiang Qiling had been preparing for this when she was at the Third Heaven. But since Lu Li was in trouble, she was not in the mood to do so. Therefore, she never did anything for Lu An.
Lu An had a young lady he liked at the Central King Universe and they had been together for a while.
But when Lu Li went to the Demonic Abyss, many families avoided the Lu Family. Therefore, the marriage fell through and the young lady was taken away by force.
It was more difficult for An Luer. She was arrogant and looked down on all the young masters of the Grim Reaper.
Jiang Qiling and the others had to arrange for Lu An. During this time, they had found some young ladies. For example, the Yu Family had a young lady from the immediate family. The other major families also had some young ladies from the immediate family.
Jiang Qiling told Lu Li about it. He didn't mind. He asked Jiang Qiling and the others to take care of it and give them something to do.
Now that the Lu Family had settled down, it was normal for Lu An to get married. In the early years, it was because of him that the Lu Family could not settle down. Lu Li felt guilty. He told Jiang Qiling to organize a grand wedding to make it up to Lu An.
Jiang Qiling, Bai Qiuxue, Bai Xiashuang, and Chi Xi-er began to investigate the young ladies. After some comparison, they decided that they were young ladies of the Yu Family.
Lu Li was close to Emperor of Yu and he was Yang of Yu's brother. A marriage would further enhance their relationship.
The Feather Emperor's fleshly body had been destroyed. Rebuilding a new fleshly body would have some impact on his future cultivation.
That being said, it was unlikely that the nine powerful warriors, including Lu Li, could make progress. It was almost impossible for them to reach the perfect realm.
On the other hand, Emperor of Yu had destroyed his physical body for the Grim Reaper. He enjoyed a high status in the Grim Reaper.
He was a Yuan Xun who had bled for the Grim Reaper and almost lost his life. Who would dare to disrespect him?
What was more, Emperor of Yu had given up on cultivation. He was more interested in managing. Currently, he was only inferior to Lu Li and Emperor Li in the Grim Reaper. If Lu Li and Emperor of Yu could work together, it would be helpful for the future development of the Lu Alliance.
After the confirmation, Jiang Qiling went to the Yu Family with Bai Qiuxue and the others in person. Both Lu Renhuang and Lu Ling went, which was a great honor to the Yu Family.
Emperor of Yu came out to receive them in person. He wouldn't have come if it were just Jiang Qiling. But Lu Renhuang was Lu Li's father. The Yu Family had to rely on the Lu Family. Naturally, Emperor of Yu had to pay attention.
Emperor of Yu didn't know about this yet. When he learned that Jiang Qiling was proposing for Lu Li's adopted son, he agreed without hesitation.
The target of the marriage proposal was only his little granddaughter.
He had dozens of granddaughters while Lu Li only had one adopted son. As a matter of fact, this young lady of the Yu Family was climbing the social ladder.
The other patriarchs of the Yu Family were overjoyed. Lu An was almost the crown prince. A young lady of the Yu Family could become the crown prince's wife?
For the Yu Family, this was the best thing they could ask for.
Even though … they had heard some rumors that Lu An was a playboy. But every descendant of the nine powerful warriors had some playboys.
As long as he was Lu Li's son, that was enough.
Not to mention that he was at the peak of the Fifth Tribulation, it wouldn't matter even if he was a cripple and couldn't practice martial arts …
"I don't agree!"
Right when the Yu Family was holding a banquet, a timid but determined voice came out. The future "crown prince's wife" that was invited by the Yu Family said with red eyes, biting her teeth, "I will not marry him. I will not marry him even if I have to die.
I don't care about the others, but I will not marry Lu An! "
The banquet was boisterous and had a good atmosphere. But as soon as this young lady of the Yu Family finished her words, it became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
The atmosphere in the hall became extremely awkward.
Especially the patriarchs of the Yu Family and Emperor of Yu, their expressions turned cold. It was as if a mountain was pressing down on them. The temperature in the hall dropped to the freezing point.
Lu Renhuang, Jiang Qiling and the others were embarrassed as well. Bai Xiashuang understood something. She was an impatient person. She asked directly, "Lady Yuling, what has Lu An done to anger the heavens and the people?
Why is it that you can marry everyone but not my Lu An? "
The young lady was frightened by Emperor Yu's imposing manner. Her pretty face turned pale, but she still gritted her teeth and said stubbornly, "Aunt Xiashuang, three months ago, Ling 'er went to the Heavenly King Realm to train and witnessed some very … disgusting things. As for the details … you can ask Lu An.
All in all, I will not marry Lu An. He … is so evil. He is evil to the core. I will not marry him even if I have to die! "
"Bastard!"
Emperor of Yu flew into a rage. He scolded, "What kind of occasion is this?
Do you have the right to speak here?
Marriage is decided by the parents and the matchmaker. Who are you to object to it?
Where are the rules of the Yu Family?
Someone … take this bastard away and punish him according to the family rules! "
