Chapter 476: Chapter 476: Banquet for Guests from All Directions

Lu Yaosheng himself was a martial artist at the Half-step King Realm, but the aura exploding from Liu Hanwen was definitely that of the King Realm.

The Lu Family was not without its King Realm Strongs, but none were so young.

Not just the Lu Family, but other families of the Nine Gates of Yandu also had King Realm Strongs, none as young as Liu Hanwen.

Under normal circumstances, King Realm Strongs of the Nine Gates of Yandu wouldn’t easily make a move, nor show themselves readily, basically all of them were in seclusion, or even in deep slumber using the Turtle Breath Technique.

Because their lifespans were nearing an end, once they made a move, they were very likely to perish, so unless it was a life-or-death moment for the family, they wouldn’t act rashly.

In such a circumstance, the Liu Family had actually produced a King Realm Strong who was just over fifty years old, one could imagine the sensation this news would cause once it got out.

"Rotten thing, why aren’t you kneeling down to apologize to your Uncle Liu!"

After snapping back to his senses, Lu Yaosheng roared at Lu Yanwu in anger.

If it wasn’t for Liu Xu’s insistence on marrying Lu Yanwu, he would’ve preferred to marry off another woman to Liu Xu.

With the emergence of a King Realm Strong in his fifties, it was almost certain that for the next several decades, or even a hundred years, the Liu Family would be the absolute strongest family.

It would be all benefit and no harm for the Lu Family to enter into a marriage alliance with the Liu Family.

Now, it wasn’t the Liu Family begging for Lu Yanwu to marry in, but rather the Lu Family pleading for her to do so.

"Yan Wu, hurry up and kneel to apologize!"

"Yeah, what are you hesitating for? With someone as outstanding as Liu Xu, who else in all of Yandu could compare?"

"Liu Xu is the future Sovereign Master, marrying him would be your honor, Lu Yanwu hurry up and apologize!"

...

In an instant, the Lu family members on site all lashed out at Lu Yanwu, as if they wished they could press her to her knees before Liu Hanwen themselves.

A wave of despair washed over Lu Yanwu’s heart; being a woman from the Lu Family, she knew very well what it meant for there to be a King Realm Strong in his fifties.

This was also the reason why, when the news broke that Tang Yue’er was a King Realm Strong, the Nine Gates of Yandu all sent people to her.

The power balance between the Nine Gates of Yandu was even, no one able to do anything to anyone else, but if a family could produce a young King Realm Strong, it would definitely disrupt this equilibrium.

"Do I make a mistake by simply not wishing to marry?"

Lu Yanwu glared at the Lu family members chastising her, and said angrily, "What kind of reasoning is this? If you like Liu Xu so much, why don’t you marry him yourselves?"

"You really don’t know what’s good for you!"

"How did the Lu Family give birth to such an ungrateful wretch?"

"What’s wrong with Liu Xu? He has status, a promising future, and good looks. What else do you, Lu Yanwu, have apart from beauty?"

...

Lu Yanwu’s words completely infuriated the people of the Lu Family; if they weren’t afraid of Lu Yanwu taking revenge after marrying into the Liu Family, they would have been tempted to strike her.

Facing the curses of the crowd, Lu Yanwu felt utterly disheartened; for the first time, she was disappointed with her family, with the first urge to leave the family surging within her.

Lu Yanwu suddenly looked at Liu Hanwen with an unafraid expression and said, "Uncle Liu, it’s not that Liu Xu isn’t good, it’s that he’s too excellent, and I’m not worthy of him. Please don’t make things difficult for the Lu Family."

After saying this, she turned her gaze to Liu Xu, her eyes filled with a coldness that kept others at a distance, and she said coldly, "If my refusal has offended you, I apologize to you, and I hope you won’t bother me anymore. It’s me who is not worthy of marrying you."

Liu Hanwen and Liu Xu’s expressions became extremely ugly. They had not expected that, despite the circumstances, Lu Yanwu would still dare to refuse.

Liu Hanwen said, "Xiaoxu, since Miss Lu looks down on you, I think it’s better to let it go. I actually think that the girl from the Murong Family isn’t too bad. Why don’t I take you to the Murong Family to propose marriage?"

Liu Xu stared at Lu Yanwu for a few seconds before suddenly saying to Liu Hanwen, "Father, I’ve decided. I will marry Lu Yanwu. Even if she dies, she must become a ghost of the Liu Family!"

At that moment, Liu Xu’s face was contorted with ferocity. He had already considered giving up, but seeing the coldness in Lu Yanwu’s demeanor only ignited his desire to conquer her even more.

Lu Yanwu refused to marry, yet he was determined to marry her!

Though Liu Hanwen verbally admitted defeat, deep down he still wanted Lu Yanwu to marry Liu Xu, because they could be engaged in just three days. Securing this marriage would increase his chances of becoming the new Family Head of the Liu Family within those three days.

Upon hearing Liu Xu’s words, Lu Yanwu’s face turned extremely pale, and she almost pleaded with a sobbing voice, "Liu Xu, what exactly do you like about me? Can’t I change for the better? Please, don’t torment me anymore. Isn’t it enough that I’m not worthy of you?"

Watching the despair and pain in Lu Yanwu’s demeanor, Liu Xu felt a surge of satisfaction within. He smiled and said, "No matter how you change, I like you. Lu Yanwu, in this lifetime, you can only belong to me!"

After speaking, he turned to Lu Yaosheng and said, "Grandfather Lu, I’ll come to the Lu family again in three days."

Lu Yaosheng hurriedly replied, "Good, Grandfather Lu will be waiting for you!"

Liu Hanwen said, "Uncle Lu, let’s consider the marriage settled then. Once I return to the Liu Family, I’ll start spreading the news about the engagement, and we’ll come back to celebrate your birthday in three days!"

Lu Yaosheng was overjoyed and laughed heartily, "Ha ha, excellent! We’ll meet again in three days!"

Soon, Liu Hanwen took Liu Xu and left the Lu Family.

Lu Yaosheng gave Lu Yanwu a cold glance and then ordered, "Take her back!"

Only at this moment did Lu Yanwu come to her senses, and she hurriedly said, "Great Grandfather, please don’t confine me. If you let me contact Grandfather, he definitely won’t agree to my marriage into the Liu Family."

"I want to see Grandfather, I want to see Grandfather, Great Grandfather, please don’t confine me..."

Her voice grew fainter as she was led away from the reception hall.

After Lu Yanwu was taken away, a direct descendant of the Liu Family said with a solemn voice, "Family Head, if the Second Uncle comes back, he definitely will not agree to this marriage..."

A cold light flashed in Lu Yaosheng’s eyes as he said in a cold voice, "Don’t worry, the Second won’t be back within these three days."

Upon hearing this, the Lu family rejoiced.

Lu Yaosheng’s meaning was clear. Lu Yaozong was surely on a special mission in the Battle Domain and couldn’t return in three days.

It was no wonder the Family Head had scheduled the engagement banquet for three days later—to take advantage of Lu Yaozong’s absence and marry off Lu Yanwu.

By the time Lu Yaozong found out, the engagement banquet would have taken place, and any attempt to stop it would be futile.

"To think that Liu Hanwen’s cultivation has reached King Realm. This engagement is an opportunity for our Lu Family!"

Sparkles flickered in Lu Yaosheng’s eyes, as marrying into the strongest future family of Yandu would be an excellent opportunity that the Lu Family had not seen in a century.

He would not miss this great chance.

Lu Yaosheng ordered, "Release the news that in three days, the Lu family will host distinguished guests from all directions to attend the engagement banquet of Liu Xu and Lu Yanwu."
