Chapter 442: Chapter 271_2

Lu Shihua stared intently at Lu Yongquan, instructing him word by word.

Hearing this, Lu Yongquan nodded with choking, suppressing his sorrow.

"Do you remember?"

Lu Shihua frowned, his voice suddenly rising.

"Second Uncle, I remember. I will definitely find a way to repair the roots!"

Lu Yongquan raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eye, his expression becoming resolute.

"Alright, you can go out."

Lu Shihua closed his eyes slightly, leaning against the giant ancient tree behind him, as if to gather more Strength.

"Don’t reveal my situation for the time being. Once the storm settles, I will convene a family meeting to inform all the clan members of you becoming the Family Head."

Exiting the Secret Realm, Lu Yongquan took a deep breath, trying to adjust his emotions.

His expression had already returned to normal, showing no trace of inner turmoil.

"Young Master, how is the Second Elder?"

Lu Tao rushed over, his eyes reflecting some anxiety and concern.

"The Second Elder plans to stay in the Secret Realm to recuperate peacefully, so in the coming period, I will manage the Lu Family’s affairs temporarily."

Lu Yongquan spoke steadily, neither hurriedly nor slowly, vaguely assuming an air of authority as the head of the family.

Hearing this, Lu Tao’s face immediately showed joy, his eyes brightened, and his mouth unconsciously tilted up.

Of course, he clearly understood what this meant.

Lu Yongquan’s father has been bedridden for years due to illness, and in reality, Lu Shihua has been exercising the Family Head’s power, secretly managing all important affairs.

Now, instead of passing the temporary head position to his own son, Lu Shihua entrusted it to his nephew Lu Yongquan, indicating high expectations for him.

In this way, as a trusted subordinate who always follows Lu Shihua, wouldn’t he rise to prominence and achieve great success?

Lu Tao even envisioned that when the time comes, if the Young Master honors past ties and includes him in the Lu Family lineage, making him a direct descendant.

If his children could also inherit the Ancestor Spirit Tree and awaken abilities, that would indeed be a meteoric rise!

Let’s not talk about Lu Tao’s private plans here.

On the other side, Lu Yongquan had his own thoughts.

He temporarily did not disclose the truth that Lu Shihua intended to nurture the Ancestor Spirit Tree with himself, already at the end of his Strength.

The matter of his Second Uncle reappearing was probably already known to the Special Search Team, and with their nature, it would inevitably spread like wildfire in the family circles before long.

One must know that although Lu Shihua is strong, he has made many enemies.

For years, he practiced seclusion in the Secret Realm, partly to heal and seek breakthroughs, and partly to hide his whereabouts, deliberately creating mystery, making it difficult for the outside world to tell truth from falsehood, and thus avoiding much trouble and conflict to a certain extent.

The current situation is delicate, and the family is at a critical stage of power transition; any slight movement could lead to a huge uproar.

Fortunately, Lu Shihua can at least maintain himself in the Secret Realm for half a year.

During this half year, outwardly, the Second Uncle’s prestigious name can deter enemies of other families, preventing them from daring to challenge recklessly.

Internally, with Second Uncle’s support, he can quickly establish authority, gain a foothold, smoothly take over the Lu Family’s affairs, and achieve a seamless transition.

Lu Yongquan secretly clenched his fists, gazing through the ruins towards the distant night.

It seemed he could already see the day the Lu Family would regain its glory in his hands.

That was his burden and also his promise to his Second Uncle.

"And..."

Suddenly, a few bald men in black flashed through Lu Yongquan’s mind, his eyes instantly turned sharp, and he whispered to himself:

"Black Sect, Roger, dare to offend my Lu Family, I will definitely make you pay!"

Then he turned his head to look at the Guard Captain standing to the side, and coldly asked:

"How much do you know about Lingquan Temple’s situation?"

Lu Tao slightly lowered his head, showing a thoughtful expression, and replied:

"I am not very clear, only knowing that the Second Elder has a grudge with that Black Sect Honorable."

Then he leaned in a little, quietly probed:

"Are we going to..."

"For the time being, do not act rashly. You first send people to investigate their specific situation thoroughly."

Lu Yongquan decisively waved his hand in refusal, secretly pondering in his heart.

Presently, what is most important to him is to concentrate Strength to seize control of the Lu Family and stabilize the turbulent situation.

As the new Family Head, he must remain calm and composed, and will never act on impulse, easily making formidable enemies.

For those Treasure Hunters deliberately attracted by the Lu Family, Lu Yongquan held no grudges.

His hatred was entirely focused on the Black Sect, the true culprits of the trouble.

"Hm, don’t think that shattering the Golden Benba Bottle means everything is over."

"The monk may escape, but the temple can’t run away. As long as people remain in East Capital, there are many ways to disgust these bald donkeys!"

Thinking of this, his eyes flickered slightly, gazing at the space rift in the darkness that continued to gleam mysteriously.

"Lu Tao."

Lu Yongquan spoke again with a deep voice.

"I am here."

Lu Tao immediately responded, his stance straighter.

"Next, you are responsible for restructuring the manor. Especially, guard the entrance and exit of the Secret Realm well, and build a concealed and sturdy structure here as quickly as possible. This is crucial for the family’s safety..."

Lu Yongquan scanned his surroundings, issuing order after order.

His words and actions exuded a sense of undeniable authority, fully assuming the role of Family Head, exhibiting the demeanor of the Lu Family’s leader.

"Yes!"

Lu Tao accepted the orders, his voice loud and clear, filled with loyalty and vigor for the new Family Head.
