Chapter 545: Chapter 545: A Helping Hand
Murong Mingyue bluntly interrupted Lu Yaosheng’s attempt to change the topic, which instantly dropped the atmosphere at the scene to freezing point.
Although many present were surprised, they all watched eagerly, knowing that when two tigers fight, one is bound to get hurt. Once the two great families initiated a clan war, regardless of the victor, it meant the downfall of the other.
At that moment, no one dared to underestimate Murong Mingyue, with two King Realm Strong warriors on her side—an overwhelmingly powerful lineup. Among the family heads of the Nine Gates of Yandu, if the older generation secluded for cultivation did not intervene, who could compete against her?
Suddenly, Murong Qin spoke, "Mingyue, that’s enough. Today is after all Family Head Lu’s eightieth grand birthday."
Long Sanlin also took on an elder’s tone, looking at Murong Mingyue and saying, "Your aunt is right, that’s enough. Family Head Lu doesn’t want to argue with someone younger like you. It’s his magnanimity. If you continue to make a scene, it just seems ill-mannered."
"Shut up!"
Murong Mingyue shouted angrily, her eyes slitted in fury as she stared at Long Sanlin, "If you dare speak another word from now on, don’t blame me for being rude."
She already knew the truth about Long Sanlin hiring a Master of Gu Technique to poison Murong Fu with Gu Art and had long wanted to kill this traitorous beast.
Long Sanlin burst into rage and was about to retort, but when he met Murong Mingyue’s murderous eyes, his body shivered violently. He had no doubt that if he really spoke up, Murong Mingyue would indeed make him pay the price.
Murong Qin’s expression was also extremely ugly. She wished she could strangle Murong Mingyue herself. She had thought that by toppling Murong Jing, no one could threaten her position in the Murong Family anymore, but then Murong Mingyue emerged unexpectedly.
"Family Head Lu, do you dare to initiate clan warfare or not? Just give me a straightforward answer; your hesitation really shows a lack of guts."
Murong Mingyue said to Lu Yaosheng once again.
Today, she was determined to make Lu Yaosheng bow. Once Lu Yaosheng conceded, the subsequent events would be much easier.
She was very aware that Qin Chuan’s visit to the Lu Family today was not just to disrupt the engagement party, but to investigate the true cause behind the Qin Family’s annihilation twenty years ago.
Qin Chuan clearly understood Murong Mingyue’s intentions and gladly provided her a stage to perform, meanwhile observing what tricks these elites of the Nine Gates of Yandu could play.
Lu Yaosheng’s face had already darkened beyond measure. Murong Mingyue’s persistent questioning fueled his anger almost to the point of eruption, but reason told him that he must endure.
He just needed to wait for those people to arrive, and all humiliations would be instantly washed away.
Knowing there was no escape, Lu Yaosheng hardened his resolve and said, "Miss Mingyue is jesting. My Lu Family has no plans to start a clan war."
Murong Mingyue sneered, "So you mean to say, Family Head Lu, that you don’t dare to wage war? Since you are afraid, shouldn’t you apologize for falsely accusing my third uncle just now?"
Lu Yaosheng said fiercely, "Murong Mingyue, don’t push it too far!"
"Today, I actually do want to go too far. If you have the guts, initiate clan warfare against the Murong Family! If not, apologize to my third uncle immediately, or else, don’t blame me for being rude!"
Murong Mingyue declared angrily, her voice rising sharply.
Ling Yun and Hong Yu, two King Realm Strong martial artists, stepped forward simultaneously, releasing their immense pressure directly towards Lu Yaosheng.
They had not forgotten that just moments ago, Lu Yaosheng used the pressure of a Half-step King Realm Strong to force both Murong Jing and Murong Mingyue to kneel.
However, Lu Yaosheng was after all the Lu Family Master. Without an explicit command from Murong Mingyue, they wouldn’t use their pressure to force him to kneel.
Even though they didn’t force Lu Yaosheng to his knees, the daunting pressure emitted by the two King Realm Strong made it nearly impossible for him to withstand, and he struggled with all his might against their force.
He could feel that Murong Mingyue was deliberately pressuring him to declare war against the Murong Family.
He knew very well that if he declared war now, he had to invite the secluded elders of his generation to come out; otherwise, the Lu Family would quickly be defeated.
Before those people arrived, he had to endure all the humiliations!
The people from the Lu Family were also uncontrollable with rage, each of them looked at Murong Mingyue wishing they could kill her with their glares.
Standing next to Qin Chuan was Lu Yanwu, her face full of complexities. She hadn’t expected things to escalate to this extent.
After all, she was from the Lu Family, how could she immediately become ruthless toward her own family? But thinking of how she had just been forced to marry Liu Xu, how Murong Mingyue had wanted to take her away, yet Lu Yaosheng pressured her to kneel until her knees were shattered, the sorrow on her face gradually faded.
"Lu Yanwu, aren’t you from the Lu Family? Can you really bear to watch your great-uncle being pressured by others?"
"Exactly, have you forgotten your own identity? Without the Lu Family, would you be where you are today?"
"Yan Wu, say something, will you!"
...
Suddenly, almost all the people from the Lu Family started to morally blackmail Lu Yanwu.
"Hmph!"
Murong Mingyue scoffed, "Have you forgotten who just forced Yan Wu to marry Liu Xu? It was your Family Head Lu, it was you people who only see minor benefits, you scum!"
"Now you dare not start a clan war with my Murong Family, yet you think of making Lu Yanwu plead for you?"
"When Yan Wu needed you the most, not even one of you spoke up for her. Now you want her to help you avoid a clan war, are you even human?"
Her unapologetic words made those from the Lu Family, who had just been morally blackmailing, lower their heads in shame.
They knew it was shameful, but there was no other way, they didn’t want to start a clan war, especially against the Murong Family who had just advanced two King Realm Strong.
Should the Lu Family be defeated, they would be kicked out of the Nine Gates of Yandu, losing the title of the Nine Gates would severely shrink their benefits, and they might even be divided up by the other Eight Gates.
"Lu Yaosheng, apologize to my third uncle immediately! Otherwise, I will now gather all the martial artists of the Murong Family and start the clan war against the Lu Family!"
Murong Mingyue’s gaze turned cold as she spoke loudly.
Lu Yaosheng’s face drastically changed, he could feel Murong Mingyue’s determination, but as the Lu Family Master, how could he bow his head? How would he face anyone later?
But if he didn’t apologize, could the Lu Family hold out until those people arrived?
To endure or not to endure?
Lu Yaosheng was full of struggle.
The elites of the Nine Gates of Yandu had looks of anticipation on their faces, it had been decades since there had been a clan war among the Nine Gates.
Suddenly, Lu Yaosheng raised his head and looked fiercely at Murong Mingyue, "Murong Mingyue, are you sure you can represent the Murong Family to start a clan war against my Lu Family?"
Murong Mingyue scoffed, "What? With the support of two King Realm Strong, do you think I can’t represent the Murong Family?"
Lu Yaosheng suddenly laughed, though his smile was somewhat fierce.
He fiercely turned to Murong Qin beside him and said through clenched teeth, "Murong Qin, I think she doesn’t represent the Murong Family. Only you can represent the Murong Family. If you agree, my Lu Family can help you ascend to the throne of the Murong Family Head."
On hearing Lu Yaosheng’s words, Murong Qin’s eyes lit up.
