Chapter 537: Chapter 537 What Instructions

Murong Mingyue’s eyes were brimming with emotion as she felt, for the first time, that her third uncle was a man of responsibility, especially with his words, "Outside, you are my niece, and no one is allowed to bully you."

Murong Jing, with several of the Murong Family’s strong warriors, immediately protected Murong Mingyue and Lu Yanwu behind them, eying Lu Yaosheng coldly.

Lu Yaosheng’s face darkened to an extreme, in his eyes, Murong Jing was but a junior. Yet now, he dared to stand against the Lu Family at their home, even declaring readiness for battle.

The many guests displayed surprise on their faces, seemingly not expecting Murong Jing to have such a courageous side.

"What do you think you are, declaring a start to a war? Not to speak of you, even if your grandfather Murong Fu were still alive, he wouldn’t dare wage war against my Lu Family."

Lu Yaosheng suddenly said furiously, "How dare you run wild at the Lu Family’s place with just a few of you?"

As his words fell, more than a dozen Martial Artists from the Lu Family with terrifying auras surrounded all of the Murong Family members, a great battle seemingly imminent.

Murong Jing’s expression immediately turned unpleasant; after all, this was the Lu Family’s territory. The Martial Artists from the Murong Family were relatively few in number, and if a battle commenced, it would only end in defeat for the Murong Family.

"I’ll give the people of the Murong Family one last chance, 30 seconds to get out of the Lu Family’s estate, or else, no one will be spared!"

A murderous aura burst from Lu Yaosheng’s body as the might of a Half-step King Realm enveloped the entire scene.

In the Nine Gates of Yandu, virtually all King Realm Strong regularly secluded themselves in meditation, searching for that slight breakthrough, and the Half-step King Realm Strong were the topmost warriors.

No one from the other Nine Gates stepped in to mediate; instead, they all watched with anticipation.

Although there had been silent competition among the Nine Gates of Yandu, there had been no clan war for decades, and any initiation of clan warfare would inevitably result in one party being kicked out.

With one gate less, the others would gain more benefits.

"How preposterous!"

Just as Murong Jing was at a loss, an angry shout rang out. A middle-aged woman with a face full of rage stared at Murong Jing saying, "Murong Jing, you are neither the Family Head of the Murong Family nor the heir, what right do you have to declare war on the Lu Family in the name of the Murong Family?"

A middle-aged man beside the woman sneered, "A fool who has learned nothing, with neither talent nor strength, dares to represent the Murong Family?"

Murong Jing’s complexion changed drastically, ignoring the middle-aged man and instead addressing the middle-aged woman, "Big sister, what do you mean by this? In our generation of the Murong Family, only I am qualified to succeed as the Family Head. How am I not eligible to represent the Murong Family?"

The only person who could be called ’big sister’ by Murong Jing was one person: Murong Qin.

And the identity of the middle-aged man who had mocked Murong Jing was clear, the husband of Murong Qin and a son-in-law who had joined the Murong Family.

Murong Qin looked disparagingly at Murong Jing and coldly said, "Indeed, you are not qualified to succeed as the Family Head."

She then turned to Lu Yaosheng and spoke, "Family Head Lu, my third brother is not qualified to represent the Murong Family, thus he has no right to declare war on the Lu Family."

"Please calm your anger on this joyous occasion so as not to hurt your health through rage."

"Hmph!"

Lu Yaosheng snorted coldly, addressing Murong Qin, "If he cannot represent the Murong Family, then let someone who can represent them come forward to speak."

Murong Qin’s lips curved upward slightly as she said, "Although I am a woman, I am the legitimate eldest daughter of this generation of the Murong Family. Naturally, I can represent the Murong Family. Whatever you wish to say, Family Head Lu, you may directly say to me."

"Murong Qin!"

Murong Jing became furious, "Since when did a woman have the authority in the Murong Family?"

Murong Qin sneered, "Even though I am a woman, I have not married out, but have taken a son-in-law into our family. Therefore, I also have the right to vie for the position of Family Head and naturally have the right to represent the Murong Family."

Long Sanlin took a step forward to stand beside Murong Qin and glared coldly at Murong Jing, saying, "Murong Jing, stop embarrassing yourself in public. If there’s anything to say, we’ll talk back at the family. Since we can’t resolve the matter at hand right now, just shut up and watch your older sister handle it."

"You..."

Murong Jing trembled with rage but said nothing more.

He had acted impulsively in his desire to help Murong Mingyue, and as for the declaration of war against the Lu Family, he hadn’t said that. What he said was, if the Lu Family wanted to declare war, just go ahead, but now it seemed as if he were the one initiating the Murong Family’s declaration of war against the Lu Family.

Now, with Lu Yaosheng’s tough stance, insisting on keeping Lu Yanwu, he genuinely didn’t know how to solve this.

Seeing that he fell silent, Murong Qin turned to Lu Yaosheng and said, "Family Head Lu, no one else is interrupting now; you can continue."

Lu Yaosheng, with a grim expression, said, "One must pay the price for their mistakes. The Murong Family has disgraced me in front of all the guests and even wants to take someone from my Lu Family. What do you think should be done?"

Murong Qin responded without hesitation, "What’s so hard about that? Since she’s from your Lu Family and you do not agree, outsiders naturally have no reason or qualification to take her away."

"Good!"

Lu Yaosheng was clearly very satisfied with Murong Qin’s response.

Murong Mingyue’s complexion changed drastically. She never expected Murong Qin to state her position so bluntly, completely disregarding her niece as part of the family!

The guests all had varying expressions, not expecting to witness internal strife within the Murong Family at the Lu residence.

Indeed, it was a splendid drama, so very exciting!

"Sister Mingyue, give it up!"

Just as Murong Mingyue was about to speak, Yan Wu suddenly grabbed her hand, her eyes red as she looked at her.

"But..."

Before she could finish, Yan Wu said, "You’ve done what you could. Insisting on taking me away will only provoke a war between our two great families."

Murong Mingyue fell silent, knowing Yan Wu was right. If a clan war began, then surely one between the Murong Family and the Lu Family would result in one declining to the point of being kicked out of the Nine Gates of Yandu.

Murong Qin said with a smile, "Family Head Lu, I promise you, no one from the Murong Family will take away any member of the Lu Family. Is there anything else?"

Lu Yaosheng glanced at Murong Qin, and then his icy gaze suddenly fell on Murong Jing as he said coldly, "Your younger brother here just threatened to declare war on the Lu Family. Since the Murong Family does not wish to declare war, shouldn’t the person who made the claim provide my Lu Family with an explanation?"

Seeing Lu Yaosheng looking at him, Murong Jing retorted angrily, "When did I say I wanted to declare war on the Lu Family?"

Lu Yaosheng replied coldly, "Everyone here heard it. Are you saying I’m talking nonsense?"

"That’s right, it was you, Murong Jing, who said you wanted to declare war on the Lu Family."

"Indeed, I heard it too. Murong Jing said he wanted to declare war on the Lu Family, and now he’s denying it?"

"Murong Jing, a man’s word is his bond. Since you’ve made the claim, you should admit it. If you can’t even acknowledge your own words, you might as well castrate yourself."

...

In an instant, the guests one after another started to speak up, but they were all blatantly lying.

Murong Jing roared in anger, "You’re not just blind but also damn deaf!"

After yelling at the people, he turned his furious gaze to Lu Yaosheng and demanded, "What kind of explanation do you want?"
