Chapter 201: Chapter 119: Jiang Wugui, Who Didn’t Understand the Situation, Has a Failed Marriage Alliance_1
Shortly after,
Luo Changfeng had vanished from this place,
and returned to his own secluded courtyard.
Meanwhile, the Luo Family’s elderly butler, Luo Dong, who was still at the scene,
quietly disappeared after some contemplation.
Qingshi County City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
In a small courtyard with exceptionally beautiful scenery,
Luo Yao, the son of Luo An,
stood somewhat stiffly in front of an elderly man.
Although the old man appeared somewhat skinny and bent,
with a full head of gray hair, looking just like any ordinary elderly man,
Luo Yao did not dare show the slightest disrespect to the elder before him.
This was not only because the old man’s cultivation had reached the fearsome stage of Organ Refinement Realm Intermediate Stage,
but also for another very important reason.
That is, the elderly man before him
had served the Luo Family’s Patriarch Changfeng for over one hundred years.
“Grandpa Dong, what brings you to my place?”
As he looked at the old butler,
Luo Yao respectfully called out to him as Grandpa Dong.
In fact, addressing him in this manner was not really inappropriate;
after all, Butler Luo Dong indeed was a senior who had watched Luo Yao grow up little by little.
“Do you know what the old master just said to me?”
Luo Dong narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression seemingly kind and benevolent as he spoke.
“What did he say?”
Swallowing nervously, Luo Yao quietly asked with a tense expression.
“The old master just mentioned to me that he has some displeasure with the Jiang Family of Shang Heng District,”
“Do you understand the meaning behind this statement?”
Inside the courtyard, Luo Dong still slightly narrowed his eyes, maintaining a seemingly kind and benevolent look.
However, Luo Yao could distinctly feel
a chill beginning to emanate around him.
“Don’t worry, Grandpa Dong,”
“I understand.”
Luo Yao nodded repeatedly in response.
Although he was not quite clear why his family’s elderly ancestor would make such a remark,
he knew that
he was a disciple of the Luo Family,
and everything he had was given by the Luo Family and his aged ancestor.
So, since the aged ancestor had spoken,
he could only painfully let go.
In his heart, he was indeed quite fond of Jiang Xiaoyue,
but there were countless beauties in the world.
There was no need for him,
to disappoint the aged ancestor of his family for the sake of one woman.
…
The people from the Jiang Family, upon their arrival at the Luo Family,
did not choose to meet Luo Yao directly but first met with Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family.
Qingshi County City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
Inside the room where the Luo Family Patriarch resided,
Jiang Yan gradually started to chat casually with Luo Ping.
Both of their moods seemed to be quite good.
However, it was clear that Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, was unaware of the words that his aged ancestor had just spoken,
otherwise, he would have probably already turned hostile.
The attitude of the aged ancestor was his own attitude and also the attitude of the entire Luo Family.
The Jiang Family from Shang Heng District?
Who are you?
My family’s aged ancestor dislikes you, so just get lost and it’s all settled.
…
Inside the room,
Jiang Yan and Luo Ping became more and more engaged in their conversation.
Standing behind Jiang Yan, Jiang Family’s Young Master Jiang Wugui,
was now looking down at Luo Ping, the Luo Family Patriarch, with a condescending gaze.
“This is the Luo Family Patriarch?”
“He doesn’t seem all that impressive!”
“He appears to be quite ordinary.”
“Compared to my father, he probably isn’t even worth a single finger.”
“Has he reached Viscera Refinement?
“He seems to fall quite short of Bone Refinement Perfection, doesn’t he?”
As he thought this, Jiang Wugui could barely restrain himself from laughing out loud.
For a mighty family power like that of the Luo Family,
it was astonishing that they had chosen a Family Head who hadn’t even reached Viscera Refinement.
This showed that the Luo Family’s discernment wasn’t all that great either!
“Wugui, Wugui…”
Suddenly, Jiang Yan called out softly to Jiang Family’s Young Master Jiang Wugui at his side.
“Ah?”
After snapping back to reality,
Jiang Wugui saw the Luo Family Patriarch Luo Ping smiling at him quietly and attentively.
“This is our Jiang Family’s Young Master, Jiang Wugui,”
“His talent is quite exceptional.”
“Not to mention within our Jiang Family, even throughout the entirety of Shang Heng District, his talent is one of the most top-notch…”
Jiang Yan said with a smile as he introduced him.
Just as Luo Ping was about to respond with a smile,
suddenly, someone from the Luo Family rushed into the room.
Inside the room, Jiang Wugui’s expression grew increasingly unpleasant.
These Luo Family members truly lacked manners.
Didn’t they see that his family’s members were here?
Barging in so recklessly, what did that look like?
Yet, as much as Jiang Wugui thought this to himself, he was not foolish.
Under such circumstances, he did not voice the thoughts in his heart.
…
“What’s going on?”
Inside the room,
Luo Ping, who was sitting in the seat of honour, looked at his clan member beside him with a puzzled expression.
“Patriarch, the aged ancestor said…”
That servant approached Luo Ping and whispered into his ear, his words unclear to the others present.
“What?”
“Is what you’re saying really true?”
Luo Ping glanced at the people from the Jiang Family before him, then turned back to the Luo Family member by his side,
a look of perplexity flashing across his eyes.
“Patriarch, what I’m saying is true, there are no falsehoods,”
the Luo Family member beside him said earnestly.
At this point, the smile on Luo Ping’s face had faded completely.
Soon after, the Luo Family member disappeared from the room.
