Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Coming to Propose

Indeed, when the people of the Liu Family heard Liu Hanwen’s words, fear appeared on each of their faces.

"Family Head, I think Hanwen’s suspicions are not without reason. Since Old Tang dared to kidnap Hanwen, he must have had some backing, and that backing is very likely the power behind that woman of the King Realm."

"It must be so, it seems that the woman of the King Realm truly has reached the King Realm. When Old Tang investigated earlier, he must have found out that this woman had a powerful background. That’s why he acted against Hanwen, aiming to show his sincerity to that woman."

"I said it, how could there possibly be an elixir that allows a woman in her twenties to advance her cultivation to the King Realm? Even temporarily, it’s absolutely impossible. It turns out Old Tang was numbing us by deliberately fabricating this lie."

...

With what Liu Hanwen had just said, everyone began to curse Old Tang, almost everyone spoke in support of Liu Hanwen.

Liu Zhihong had aged and probably would not hold his position much longer in such circumstances, they wouldn’t foolishly offend the successor of the Liu Family.

In that instant, Liu Zhihong seemed to age many more years. Although he had not yet confronted Old Tang face to face, he almost believed what Liu Hanwen said.

Behind a woman in her twenties from the King Realm, there must be a massive force. If he were Old Tang, faced with such temptation, he too would have drawn close without hesitation.

But he had trusted Old Tang too much, and Old Tang’s betrayal hit him hard.

Liu Zhihong waved his hand and said, "Let’s disperse!"

The crowd could see Liu Zhihong’s dejection and gradually left the council hall.

Liu Hanwen walked forward, his face filled with concern, and asked, "Father, are you alright?"

Liu Zhihong didn’t speak, just stared straight at Liu Hanwen.

Liu Hanwen suddenly felt a bit guilty, but his expression showed no fear, looking very worried at Liu Zhihong.

Liu Zhihong suddenly asked, "Hanwen, there are no outsiders here, tell your father the truth. Did Old Tang really betray us?"

Clearly, he was still unable to accept Old Tang’s betrayal and reluctantly asked again.

Liu Hanwen, with a bitter expression, said, "Father, although I succeeded in the competition for the heir, deep down, you have never fully accepted me, have you?"

Liu Zhihong sighed deeply but did not answer Liu Hanwen’s question, remaining silent.

Liu Hanwen said, "If there’s nothing else, then I’ll leave first."

After speaking, he got up and left, but as he reached the door of the council hall, he suddenly stopped, turned his back to Liu Zhihong, and said, "Father, everything I said was true."

This time, he did not stay any longer and left with big strides.

Liu Zhihong watched Liu Hanwen’s departing figure and waved his hand, wanting to say something, but ultimately, he did not call out to Liu Hanwen.

"Sigh."

Liu Zhihong leaned back in the wicker chair, his face filled with desolation, and said, "Perhaps, it’s time to hand over the family to Hanwen."

This incident had greatly hurt him, and he now felt exhausted, suddenly wanting to leave this position and enjoy life.

The moment Liu Hanwen turned to leave, his heart was filled with anticipation, hoping Liu Zhihong would call out to him and pass on the position of Family Head to him. To his disappointment, until he left the council hall, Liu Zhihong had not called out to him.

After returning to his residence, Liu Hanwen’s expression turned extremely somber, and he muttered, "Mr. Qin only gave me three days, if I can’t fully control the Liu Family, Mr. Qin will definitely be unhappy."

"How exactly can I take full control of the Liu Family within three days?"

For a time, Liu Hanwen fell deep into thought.

"Dad!"

At that moment, Liu Xu arrived.

Liu Hanwen then came back to his senses from his thoughts and, looking at the son who had recklessly barged in, said with displeasure, "You are meant to join the Grandmaster Battle Team; you must be extremely cautious in your actions from now on."

Liu Xu, somewhat helplessly, said, "Dad, I know what to do. Aren’t we at home? There’s no need for so many rules."

Liu Hanwen didn’t bother to say more and frowned as he asked, "What do you need?"

Liu Xu chuckled and said, "Dad, it looks like my entry into the Grandmaster Battle Team is pretty much secure. Could you do me a favor?"

Looking at Liu Xu’s sly expression, Liu Hanwen said sternly, "What are you up to now?"

Liu Xu said, "Dad, I want you to take me to the Lu Family to propose marriage. I want to marry Lu Yanwu!"

"To the Lu Family to propose marriage?"

Liu Hanwen was stunned for a moment; he knew that Liu Xu had a thing for Lu Yanwu, but he hadn’t expected Liu Xu to be so impatient.

Liu Xu nodded vigorously with a resolute expression, "Dad, Lu Yanwu and I have been childhood sweethearts, and I’ve grown up with her brother, Lu Yanfei, like true brothers. No one could be more suitable for me than Lu Yanwu."

"Besides, this is a critical moment as you are about to take over the position of Family Head. If I could marry Lu Yanwu at this time, it would surely bring you tremendous support."

"Lu Yanwu’s grandfather is a member of the Battle Domain Elders Council, and her brother, Lu Yanfei, although not as strong as me, has already joined the Azure Dragon Combat Team and is likely to break through to Energizing Skill soon. He will eventually join the Grandmaster Battle Team."

"So, my union with Lu Yanwu would be a joyous event for both the Liu Family and the Lu Family, beneficial in every way and harmful in none."

Initially somewhat resistant, Liu Hanwen was overjoyed upon hearing Liu Xu’s explanation.

Just like Liu Xu had said, his union with Lu Yanwu would indeed be a joyous event.

After Liu Xu finished speaking, he looked nervous, unsure if Liu Zhihong would agree. While he was still worried, Liu Hanwen said, "Alright, I’ll get ready and then personally take you to the Lu Family to propose!"

Liu Xu was stunned, "Dad, are you serious?"

He hadn’t expected Liu Hanwen to agree so readily and was somewhat in disbelief.

Liu Hanwen knocked heavily on Liu Xu’s head and said irritably, "No more nonsense, or I won’t go!"

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Finally assured he had heard correctly, Liu Xu laughed loudly and said, "Dad, I’ve been ready for a long time, just waiting for you to go with me."

Soon, the two set out from the Liu Family, heading straight for the Lu Family, another of the Nine Gates of Yandu.

In the Lu Family, in a detached villa, Lu Yanwu was by the window on the second floor, staring blankly outside.

"I wonder how Brother Qin is doing. Didn’t he say he would visit the Lu Family after he sorted everything out? Why hasn’t he come yet? I hope nothing has happened to him."

Lu Yanwu’s face was filled with worry.

Ever since she had been brought back to the Lu Family from Cloud Summit Heaven Villa by Lu Qing, she had been anxious. She wanted to contact Lu Yaozong, but since being brought back home, her phone had been confiscated, and she was confined to her room, unable to contact the outside world.

She knew that if she could just reach her grandfather, he would surely convince her great-grandfather to send powerful aid to Qin Chuan.

But she couldn’t leave, nor could she contact her grandfather.

"Miss, the Family Head asks for you to come down!"

Just then, a servant’s voice suddenly came from downstairs.

Lu Yanwu was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly ran downstairs. Her great-grandfather wanting to see her must mean her grandfather had contacted him.

As long as the Lu Family could dispatch someone strong to help Brother Qin, the distress she felt would be worth it.
