Chapter 544: Chapter 544 Repeated Interrogation

Lu Yaosheng’s face turned green; he had just needed to falsely accuse Murong Jing of proposing war, but now he was being aggressively confronted by Murong Mingyue in front of everyone, asking him if he indeed wanted to declare war.

If he did not dare to go to war, then the face of the Lu Family would be swept away, but if he dared to accept the clan war, unless the older generation of the Lu Family, who were in seclusion, appeared, then with the two King Realm Strong by Murong Mingyue’s side, they could sweep through the entire Lu Family.

The key was, he knew that Qin Chuan had a woman with King Realm Cultivation by his side.

Moreover, others might not have noticed, but he knew as soon as Qin Chuan appeared at the Lu Family’s premises that Qin Chuan’s strength was unfathomably deep.

With mere pressure, he had forced over a dozen warriors who were about to attack the Murong Family’s strong, using that pressure to kneel them on the ground.

Asking himself, he couldn’t achieve this feat.

But Qin Chuan had done so, what did that mean? It only meant that Qin Chuan was stronger than he was; he was at Half-step King Realm, so anyone stronger must be at least at King Realm Initial Stage.

However, he had a feeling that Qin Chuan was more than just at the initial stage of the King Realm.

All these were not the most terrifying, the most terrifying was that Qin Chuan casually took out two Evergreen Pills, actually allowing Ling Yun and Hong Yu, who were at Half-step King Realm, to break through to the King Realm successively.

"Just now, my uncle clearly did not say he wanted to initiate a clan war against the Lu Family, but you, Family Head Lu, insisted that my brother said such words."

Murong Mingyue stared at Lu Yaosheng with an indifferent face and said, "If it is words said by my Murong Family, deeds done by my Murong Family, we absolutely acknowledge them, but if not, then my Murong Family will never admit to them."

"Now, I, Murong Mingyue, am declaring war on your Lu Family; do you, Lu Yaosheng, the Lu Family Patriarch, dare to accept this clan war?"

At this moment, from Murong Mingyue’s frail body, a powerful and irresistible force erupted, and the pressure of a superior burst forth from her.

Her domineering appearance even shocked the older generation of the Nine Gates of Yandu.

They had no doubts, a new star had been born in Yandu.

Who said that with Murong Fu’s death, the Murong Family would decline?

Murong Mingyue could lead the Murong Family to even greater glory.

At this moment, no one dared to underestimate Murong Mingyue.

"Murong Mingyue, have you lost your mind?"

Suddenly, a sharp voice rang out, and Murong Qin stared angrily at Murong Mingyue and said, "Do you know what starting a clan war would bring to the Murong Family?"

"And besides, you are just a junior member of the Murong Family; what right do you have to declare war on the Lu Family on behalf of the Murong Family?"

As her words fell, Long Sanlin also sneered and said, "It’s really true that when there is no tiger in the mountains, the monkey becomes king. The Family Head’s body is not even cold yet, and you, a junior, dare to plunge the family into chaos, aren’t you a bit too impatient?"

"You all shut your mouths!"

Murong Jing also spoke up, staring at Murong Qin and Long Sanlin with an angry face and said, "What right do you have to criticize Mingyue?"

"When Lu Yaosheng, that old fart, publicly accused me of wanting to start a war, where were you to stand up and speak for me?"

"Now, as my Murong Family has newly advanced two King Realm strong, with their support, why wouldn’t Mingyue be able to represent the Murong Family?"

"Mingyue wants to wage war against the Lu Family, why not?"

With that, he turned to Hong Yu and said, "Elder Hong, I am truly grateful for your support and protection over the years. From today on, you will follow Mingyue!"

"Looking at the entire Murong Family, only Mingyue is capable of leading the Murong Family to greater glory."

Hong Yu looked touched; originally, he was a supporter of Murong Jing, but that day he had received a favor from Qin Chuan and made a breakthrough to the King Realm. Based on the relationship between Qin Chuan and Murong Mingyue, he would surely support Murong Mingyue.

It was just that he had been pondering how to serve Murong Mingyue in the future without hurting Murong Jing.

But unexpectedly, Murong Jing actually took the initiative to suggest that he help Murong Mingyue.

Suddenly, Hong Yu bowed deeply to Murong Jing, his eyes red as he said, "Thank you, Third Master, for making this happen! But I, Hong Yu, make this vow here and now: as long as Third Master does not harm Miss Mingyue or Mr. Qin, whatever the Third Master commands, as long as it’s within my power, I will never refuse."

"Hahahaha..."

Murong Jing let out a hearty laugh, saying with great satisfaction, "Then I have to thank Elder Hong!"

Murong Mingyue was also very moved—everything that Murong Jing had done today had deeply touched her.

Qin Chuan watched Murong Mingyue, a subtle smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. This woman really had a natural gift for leadership. It seemed unlikely that there would be any major obstacles to her taking over as the Family Head of the Murong Family in the future.

Moreover, Murong Fu was still alive—with his support, who would dare to oppose Murong Mingyue’s succession to the Murong Family?

"Miss Mingyue, today is Elder Lu’s eightieth birthday celebration—why not give Elder Lu face? We can talk about starting a war another time?"

At that moment, an old man with a head full of white hair suddenly said with a chuckle.

Murong Mingyue’s gaze turned icy as she responded coldly, "Who do you think you are? Do you really think you’re qualified to mediate between the Lu Family and the Murong Family?"

Upon hearing this, the old man’s face changed drastically, his eyes darkening to the extreme.

"When my uncle was falsely accused by Lu Yaosheng just now, where were you to step in? But now you’ve come out to seek attention. If you don’t want to drag the Ye Family into this, then get lost!"

Murong Mingyue scolded without a shred of politeness.

The old man she scolded was none other than Ye Family Patriarch, Ye Zhong.

Murong Mingyue, aware of the grudge between Qin Chuan and the Ye Family, naturally had no favourable impressions of the Ye Family to begin with, which is why she did not give Ye Zhong any face as he stood up for Lu Yaosheng.

However, others were not aware of this and were completely shocked to see Ye Zhong being publicly rebuked by Murong Mingyue.

In today’s Nine Gates of Yandu, the Ye Family was considered the strongest. Ye Zhong, as the Ye Family Patriarch, was essentially the most powerful Family Head.

However, Murong Mingyue had not given Ye Zhong any face whatsoever—wasn’t that rather arrogant?

"This must be the first time Ye Family Master has been publicly scolded in front of so many people, right? What do you think—can Ye Family Master tolerate this?"

"How could Ye Family Master possibly bear it? If he really endured it, wouldn’t he be trampling on the Ye Family’s face himself?"

"Indeed, with the status of Ye Family Master, how could he tolerate being publicly humiliated by a junior from the Murong Family? With two King Realm Strong beside her, Miss Mingyue has probably forgotten her own name."

...

Just as everyone was anticipating Ye Zhong to explode, Ye Zhong let out a heavy "hmph" instead, then sat back down in his seat, assuming an indifferent demeanor as if the matter didn’t concern him.

Everyone was astounded—Ye Zhong had actually endured it?

Qin Chuan squinted at Ye Zhong. It was only their second meeting, but each time Ye Zhong gave him the impression of being someone who knew when to bend and when to stand tall.

There was a reason Ye Zhong had led the Ye Family to become the foremost power among the Nine Gates of Yandu.

Murong Mingyue pressed on, "Family Head Lu, I’ll ask you one last time—do you really want to wage war with the Murong Family?"

Lu Yaosheng’s face turned green. He couldn’t believe that he, a senior figure, was being repeatedly humiliated in his own house by a junior. He desperately wished to call out all the elder Lu Family members who were in retreat, but remembering his main purpose for the day, he suppressed his rage.

"Miss Mingyue is jesting. Both the Lu Family and the Murong Family are part of the Nine Gates of Yandu. Once a war starts, the impact would be enormous," said Lu Yaosheng. He finished speaking and, not giving Murong Mingyue the chance to interject, he scanned the whole room and began, "Today is my eightieth birthday celebration, welcome everyone..."

Yet before he could finish, Murong Mingyue interrupted him once again, "Family Head Lu, you still haven’t answered my question directly!"
