Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Cripple Him for Me

Murong Jing’s eyes were fixed on Lu Yaosheng with a deadly stare. He knew that if he did not give Lu Yaosheng an explanation today, he feared he might not be able to leave easily.

Lu Yaosheng’s gaze suddenly turned icy, and the aura of a Half-step King Realm erupted instantly, pressing towards Murong Jing, as he bellowed, "Kneel, apologize!"

"Bang!"

As his words fell, Murong Jing’s knees slammed onto the ground with a violent collision sound, stunning everyone present.

Usually, even if there were conflicts among the Nine Gates of Yandu, they would not publicly humiliate a major figure of one of the Nine Gates in front of so many people.

Although Murong Jing was not the heir to the Murong Family, he was still a candidate, but now, Lu Yaosheng had forced him to kneel.

"Ah..."

Murong Jing let out a roar of anger, straining with all his might to stand up, but the oppressive force emanating from Lu Yaosheng was simply too strong, and he could not manage to rise.

He was not only unable to stand, but his knees had also shattered, and blood dyed the ground red.

Murong Qin merely gave a fleeting glance, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, she remained silent. When she looked at Murong Jing, there was even a glint of schadenfreude in the depths of her eyes.

"Third Uncle!"

Murong Mingyue’s complexion changed dramatically, and she shouted as she rushed forward, trying to help Murong Jing up.

But how could Murong Jing easily rise when he was bearing the weight of the oppressive aura from a Half-step King Realm Strong, especially when it had caught him off guard and forced him to his knees, his knees shattered?

"Great Grandfather, I was wrong, I know my mistake, please don’t force them any further, let them leave, okay?"

After being stunned for a moment, Yan Wu finally came back to her senses and knelt down with a "plop," her face full of pleading.

Although she had the temper of a young mistress, she was always kind-hearted, especially since Murong Jing was being targeted by Lu Yaosheng for trying to help her.

She did not want to implicate the innocent and had no choice but to resign to fate and kneel in supplication.

However, Lu Yaosheng just let out a cold laugh and said, "This is Murong Family’s Third Master realizing his mistake on his own and voluntarily kneeling to apologize. What does this have to do with me?"

"Lu Yaosheng!"

Murong Jing nearly ground his teeth to dust, his bloodshot eyes intently staring at Lu Yaosheng as he said, "If you’ve got the guts, just kill me. Do you have no shame in using your status as a Half-step King Realm Strong to bully me?"

Lu Yaosheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Murong Jing and said, "Who saw me lay a hand on you? A verminous piece of trash like you is worthy of my effort?"

"I had thought you willingly knelt to apologize, but it seems I was wrong. Since that’s the case, all the members of the Murong Family present today might as well be crippled!"

With these words, the entire room was shocked!

Was Lu Yaosheng using this opportunity to eradicate the strongest combat forces of the Murong Family?

Everyone who had been invited today represented their own families. Whether it was Murong Jing, Murong Qin, or Murong Mingyue, they all had the Murong Family’s top warriors for personal protection.

They were vying for the position of the heir, even for the new Family Head of the Murong Family, and those who could protect them closely were naturally the strongest among the Murong Family.

"Family Head Lu, isn’t this a bit too excessive?"

Murong Qin suddenly spoke up, frowning and looking at Lu Yaosheng, "My younger brother misspoke and has already knelt down to apologize. Isn’t that enough?"

Lu Yaosheng snorted coldly, staring at Murong Qin, "If your brother knew to correct his mistake, it would be different, but it’s clear he does not realize his wrongdoing. Since that’s the case, I will have to make him a complete cripple."

Saying this, he suddenly smiled slyly, "I believe the Murong Family would not let a cripple become the heir, would Miss Murong?"

Murong Qin was taken aback for a moment but quickly guessed Lu Yaosheng’s intention.

She fell silent, her expression complex as she glanced at Murong Jing. Within her generation, Murong Jing was the most likely to threaten her position as heir.

If Murong Jing truly became a cripple, the Murong Family really would not allow him to be the heir.

Whether it was the Murong Family or any other prestigious family, none would let a cripple take the helm.

It was like the Ye Family before. Ye Tiannan who had been the most likely successor, lost all his succession chances immediately after becoming paralyzed.

"Miss Murong, your younger brother has done wrong and must pay the price. Today, without my permission, he cannot leave. As for you, you haven’t offended me. If you want to leave, feel free to do so. Of course, if you wish to stay for the engagement banquet and my birthday celebrations, I would welcome you with open arms."

Before Murong Qin could respond, Lu Yaosheng suddenly spoke again.

Murong Qin took a deep breath. She knew Lu Yaosheng was trying to curry favor with her. If she truly wanted to leave, it would be seen as disrespectful towards Lu Yaosheng.

But if she stayed, even though she would lose a strong competitor in Murong Jing once he was crippled, her reputation would be tarnished. From then on, when people in Yandu mentioned her, they would say she watched her own brother become crippled without flinching, all for the position of heir.

What a malicious scheme!

Murong Qin thought to herself angrily, realizing that no matter what she did after Lu Yaosheng’s words, she would suffer a loss.

But between her reputation and the position of heir to the Murong Family, she would choose the latter without hesitation.

Before she could speak up, her husband Long Sanlin did, "Wife, what’s there to hesitate about? Since Family Head Lu has invited us so graciously, how can we think of leaving?"

Murong Qin quickly understood. Long Sanlin was planning to pin the disgrace on her. Catching onto this, she feigned a troubled expression and said, "But, my younger brother..."

Long Sanlin snorted coldly, "I think Family Head Lu is right. A wrong deed demands a price, and besides, it was our brother who knelt and apologized to Family Head Lu on his own accord. What does that have to do with you?"

Murong Qin did not reply but instead looked at Lu Yaosheng and asked, "Family Head Lu, could you please spare my younger brother for my sake?"

Lu Yaosheng laughed coldly, "Does Miss Murong think I wasn’t clear enough?"

"Stop talking, wife!"

Long Sanlin hurriedly interrupted Murong Mingyue, then bowed to Lu Yaosheng, "Family Head Lu, we came here invited and have yet to attend the birthday and engagement banquets. How could we leave? Wouldn’t that be disrespectful to you?"

"Ha ha!"

Lu Yaosheng laughed out loud, then said, "In that case, please take your seats!"

Long Sanlin pulled Murong Qin back to their seats.

Murong Mingyue watched the performance of Murong Qin and Long Sanlin with cold eyes. How could she fail to see what was going on?

"Someone, cripple the Third Master of the Murong Family for me!"

Lu Yaosheng commanded with a grand wave of his hand.
