Blazing Snow City was one of the eight hundred counties in the Eastern Peace County of Chu State. Although it was only a small and insignificant place, the forces within it were extremely complicated.
Ma Family, Yang Family, Lu Family, the three families helped each other and fought with each other, while the City Lord's Mansion stabilized the situation and watched the show.
The Lu Clan was ranked first among the three great clans of Blazing Snow City, and had already suppressed the Ma Clan and the Yang Clan for over ten years, unable to make a comeback.
It wasn't that Ma clan and Yang clan were too weak, but the three Lu brothers were too strong.
The eldest was Lu Tianming, the current head of the Lu Clan, with a cultivation of the third qi layer. The second was Lu Tianchen, with a cultivation of the second qi layer. The third was Lu Tianxing, with a cultivation of the first qi layer.
The head of the family, Lu Tianming, was in charge of the overall situation. The second son, Lu Tianchen, and the third son, Lu Tianxing, were in charge of the family's business and guards respectively.
The old man next to her coughed softly, reminding her to pay attention to her image.
? Hearing the old man's words, Su Xueying immediately nodded and covered her mouth with her hand.
? It would be fine if he didn't cover his mouth, but if he did, he would be in big trouble.
? The laughter that was originally like a silver bell became like a toad with a sewn mouth, puffing and puffing.
? "Why don't you move your mouth away? Look at Second Mother's face, it's the same color as a mole.”
? Lu Chuan said faintly. In just two or three breaths, he had almost figured out the personality of this old man and young man.
? Needless to say, Su Xueying was just a child without any schemes. She looked quite cute.
? The old man was shrewd and magnanimous, and he doted on Su Xueying.
? These were all secondary. The main point was that the old man did not care about the gloomy expressions of Lu Tianming and his brothers at all.
? To be so confident in the face of the Lu family, either their own strength far exceeded the Lu family, or their family was far stronger than the Lu family.
? "Alright, let's get down to business."
? Lu Tianming said, and the entire banquet hall instantly fell silent, except for Su Xueying, who was still puffing.
? "I've already told Xiaochuan why you're here, but it was Uncle Su and my father who decided on the marriage. The two elders have already passed away, so I can't interfere too much. As long as Lu Chuan agrees, the Lu family will not have any objections.”
? Lu Tianming's words were dignified, but he pushed everything out.
? It would be fine if it was resolved peacefully, but if there was a problem, then it was all Lu Chuan's fault.
? "In that case…"
? The old man nodded and then looked at Lu Chuan." This marriage was originally decided by the previous Clan Leader of the Su Clan and the Lu Clan. However, the two elders have passed away, and my Young Lady does not want to marry someone she has never met before. Therefore, the family head sent me to bring the young miss here, hoping to dissolve the marriage. Of course, we will return double the betrothal gifts from before as an apology from the Su family.”
? "Alright, there's no need to say so much nonsense. Isn't it because you see that my aptitude is low and you're unwilling to waste time on me? I understand!"
? Lu Chuan found a seat and sat down, his face full of indifference.
? "Oh right, what betrothal gift did my grandfather give your Su family back then?”
? "Ten bottles of Qi Refinement Pills, a top-grade mortal weapon, and some gold, silver, and jewelry.”
Not only did the three brothers manage the various businesses of the family in an orderly manner, but their cultivation was also not weak.
In fact, the Lu family had a fourth son, Lu Tianlong, who was also Lu Chuan's father. Unfortunately, after learning that their son was poisoned two years ago, the couple went out to look for a way to treat him.
In the end, two years had passed, and there was no news at all. This was also the reason why Lu Chuan's status in the Lu family continued to decline.
He had no one to rely on and had no cultivation. It was normal to be bullied in this world where martial arts were supreme.
They arrived at the living room of the Lu family banquet. The head of the family, Lu Tianming, was sitting on the main seat. Second Master Lu Tianchen, Third Master Lu Tianxing, and their respective madams were sitting on the right. Opposite them were an old man and a young man.
The old one looked to be over sixty years old, with white hair and a youthful face, full of vitality.
The younger one was a girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old. She had red lips and white teeth, and was pretty and cute. Although she was young, she was a real beauty.
It should be one of the main characters this time, the eldest daughter of the Su family, Su Xueying!
"Greetings, Patriarch! Greetings, Second Master and Third Master! Greetings Second Mother, Third Mother!"
As soon as he entered the door, Lu Chuan sensed the tension in the atmosphere, but he still called out to them one by one. Then, he said with a smile,"Second Mother, I haven't seen you for a while. The mole on your face is getting more and more beautiful!”
"Puchi!"
As soon as Lu Chuan finished speaking, the Second Madam's face instantly darkened.
However, before she could open her mouth to scold, Su Xueying, who was opposite her, could not help but laugh out loud.
"Cough cough, Miss, hold it in. Don't forget what we're here for!”The old man answered Lu Chuan's question," The Su family is willing to return double the amount. What do you think, young friend?"”
"Just this much? You're quite stingy!"
Lu Chuan said.
"He's indeed quite stingy!"
Hearing Lu Chuan's words, Su Xueying muttered softly, almost making Lu Chuan laugh.
The old man's face darkened as he glared at Su Xueying.
"It's not impossible to break off the engagement, but this is not enough!”
Lu Chuan chuckled coldly." No matter how we resolve this matter today, I'll definitely lose face once word gets out. Therefore, I can give your Su family face and cancel this marriage, but you have to make it up to me.”
"What do you want, young friend? Just say it. My Su family will definitely do our best to satisfy your request.”
The old man nodded, seemingly agreeing with Lu Chuan.
"I want ten times!"
Lu Chuan looked at the old man and said word by word.
"Ten times? What a greedy brat!"
Upon hearing Lu Chuan's words, Su Xueying immediately stood up and pointed at Lu Chuan's nose as she scolded,""I'm already giving your Lu family face by returning twice the amount. Don't be ungrateful…"
"Miss, calm down!"
The old man tugged at Su Xueying and then straightened his expression." As long as you're willing to break off the engagement, I can accept ten times."”
"Uncle Fu…"
Su Xueying said pitifully. It was obvious that her heart ached for these things.
"Miss, be obedient."
The old man consoled Su Xueying, and then a playful smile appeared on his face.
"The Su family agrees to return ten times the betrothal gift, but should I give these things to you or the Lu family?”
The old man's words were vicious. With one sentence, he pushed Lu Chuan to the opposite side of the Lu family.
After all, wealth was a tempting thing. With so many resources in front of them, no one could ignore them.
"Of course it's for the Lu family! Lu Chuan was still young, so it was safest to leave him in the care of his elders.”
Without waiting for Lu Chuan to speak, the Second Madam spoke first.
Looking at his impatient appearance and the greed flashing in his eyes, it made one feel nauseous.
The old man ignored the Second Madam and turned his gaze to Lu Chuan.
