Chapter 136: Chapter 97 The Luo Family’s Strong Rise, Securing the Spiritual Artifact Crimson Bell_2
The only mistake was that he had not anticipated.
That the Luo Family in Qingshi Town would rise so swiftly and fiercely.
What he hadn’t expected was.
That the Ding Family, along with that so-called Five Towns Alliance, would turn out to be such trash.
Wasn’t it said that there is an Organ Refinement Realm elder hidden within the Ding Family Manor?
But why then did the Ding Family so quickly get completely eradicated by the Luo Family?
Could it be that the Ancestor of the Luo Family made a move?
No, it doesn’t seem to be the case.
If the Ancestor of the Luo Family had acted, he would definitely have received the news.
And since it wasn’t the Ancestor of the Luo Family who made a move.
Then, there’s only one explanation left for the fall of the Ding Family.
That is, within the Luo Family, there is another Viscera Refinement practitioner.
And this Organ Refinement Realm cultivator’s strength is even above that of the Ding Family elder.
“It seems I must reassess the strength of the Luo Family,” he said.
“And this rapid rise of the Luo Family…”
“Will inevitably change the tripartite balance of power within Huai Shui County.”
…
In a blink of an eye, another day passed.
In Huai Shui County, within Qingshi Town.
On a rather bustling street at this moment.
Countless small stalls and vendors were incessantly hawking their wares.
Lots of civilians, with hope written on their faces, bustled to and fro.
“Uncle Jiang, look at Qingshi Town…”
“It seems somewhat different from the other towns, doesn’t it!”
“The area of Qingshi Town is so huge!”
“It could even be mistaken for a county town.”
In Qingshi Town, within the inner city.
At the edge of a small stall selling candied hawthorns.
A girl with skin whiter than snow, petite in stature, looking extremely soft and cute,
Was curiously looking around with an inquisitive gaze.
“Miss, it’s about time we headed back.
“Staying out too long will worry the master,” said the middle-aged man known as Uncle Jiang, following close by the girl’s side and speaking softly to her.
“Oh, it’s fine.
“Let’s play a little while longer!”
“It’s not often I get to come out, how could I go back so soon?
“Besides, with Uncle Jiang here, what’s there to worry about?
“Alright, it’s settled then.
“Off I go to play…”
After speaking these words, the girl hopped and skipped away toward another place.
As she ran, she continued to observe her surroundings.
A touch of curiosity shone on that slightly childish little face.
…
Before long,
The girl entered an inn.
It seemed she was a bit tired from playing and wanted to eat something.
Not far from the inn, outside,
A young man dressed in luxurious robes with a jade flute tied at his waist,
Who looked quite charming,
Was silently watching the inn where the girl had gone.
…
The young man was named Luo Yao.
He was the second son of Luo An, the second in command in the Luo Family.
Previously, he had carelessly managed something which led to some trouble.
His father, Luo An,
Had exploded with rage over this and even declared that he would no longer give him any money.
If he wanted money, he had to follow his father, Luo An, in managing the family’s businesses.
Luo Yao had almost despaired at the time.
Thankfully, his family’s Ancestor had found him and spoken with him for a while.
Ever since then,
He had been “ordained” to flirt with girls.
Yes, ordained.
In Qingshi Town, within the Luo Family, the Ancestor’s word was law, and his commands carried the utmost authority.
Besides, his flirting was not entirely for himself.
He was contributing to the family’s continuity.
A family, to grow stronger and to develop,
Not only needed its members to work hard at cultivation, but it also needed a sufficient number of new generations to continuously enhance the family’s potential.
And how could the family increase the number of new generation members?
Of course, it required the continuous efforts of the family members.
And Luo Yao was one such representative.
…
Today, Luo Yao’s initial plan was to have a casual stroll.
And perhaps visit some small stalls and vendors he hadn’t tried for a long time to taste their food.
While inns were fine,
Sometimes the delicacies from small vendors could be just as good, if not better, than those from inns.
However, what Luo Yao hadn’t expected was,
That while walking, he would stumble upon an extremely soft and cute-looking girl.
She was just his type.
So, after following the girl for a while,
He planned to make his move.
Of course, he disdained to use any dirty tricks and had never done so.
All the wives and concubines that followed him did so willingly.
There had never been any who were forced.
The previous ruckus was an accident, one he had not handled well.
Otherwise, that mess would not have happened.
…
The next day.
In Qingshi Town, the Luo Family Ancestral Land.
Within the courtyard where the Ancestor of the Luo Family resided,
Luo Changfeng sat quietly underneath the Stone Pavilion,
Holding a cup of cold tea in his hand and sipping it slowly.
In front of him, the current Sect Master of the Wan Dan Sect’s Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect, Fu Qiu, with his face lined with deep anticipation,
Had a custom-made cane by his side.
“Brother Luo, how about it?”
“Those thousand Yellow Grade lower-grade Detoxification Pills…”
Fu Qiu looked at Luo Changfeng in front of him and tentatively asked in a low voice.
