CHAPTER 1120: CHAPTER 1113: YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE COME HERE

"Whether I intervene or not, what does it have to do with you, Zhao Wuji? You are not qualified to threaten me."

Shen Manjun’s pretty face was as cold as ice. She snorted disdainfully, raised her head to look at Old Master Lu, and said, "I came uninvited, I hope you won’t mind."

"Guests are always welcome. The Sect Leader of the Shen Family is too polite." Old Master Lu said calmly.

Shen Manjun nodded, said no more, and walked directly toward Bai Zhiqing and Lu Tianxing.

"Are you two okay!" Shen Manjun looked at Lu Tianxing, a trace of barely noticeable tenderness flashed in her eyes, and she asked softly.

"I’m fine."

Lu Tianxing shook his head and said, "Why did you come?"

"I heard you ran into trouble in Jiangnan, and I was worried someone might give you a hard time, so I came to back you up." Shen Manjun said softly.

"And me, and me, Uncle, I’m also here to back you up. If anyone dares to bully you, I’ll definitely get my grandpa to teach them a lesson, beat them until they’re rolling around on the ground."

Following behind Shen Manjun, Qiaoqiao also spoke up at this time, waving her fists while trying hard to appear fierce. But because of her delicate look, no matter how she tried, she couldn’t project an intimidating aura; instead, she became even more adorable.

"Qiaoqiao, thank you."

Lu Tianxing’s face revealed a trace of a smile, and his gaze toward Shen Manjun was filled with a touch of tenderness. He was well aware of the risks Shen Manjun took to come to Jiangnan. This kind of favor, he simply could not repay.

"Hehe, Uncle, if you really want to thank me, just treat me to a meal. I want to eat Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs." Qiaoqiao squinted her eyes and said.

"No problem, once this matter is settled, I’ll treat you to Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs."

Lu Tianxing reached out and patted Qiaoqiao on the head, then looked at Shen Manjun and said, "Man Jun, you’d better find a place to sit down for now. A bunch of ants doesn’t require you to take action."

When Bai Zhiqing heard Lu Tianxing call Shen Manjun by her name, she frowned slightly, but soon her expression returned to calm, and she said nothing.

"If you need any help, just call me."

Shen Manjun nodded, found a place at random to sit, and quietly watched the developments.

Just then, Liang Shidao suddenly walked in from outside.

When he saw the placid Lu Family, a trace of surprise flashed in Liang Shidao’s eyes, but it was quickly concealed. However, this did not escape Lu Tianxing’s eyes, who noted Liang Shidao’s change in demeanor.

"Liang Shidao, what are you doing here? Are you also planning to get involved in this matter?" Seeing Liang Shidao, Zhao Wuji was taken aback, clearly not expecting Liang Shidao to return. But then he got furious.

"Family Head Zhao, if you can come here, why can’t I?"

Liang Shidao smiled slightly, then walked to Lu Tianxing’s side, and said with lingering fear, "Brother Lu, I heard you encountered trouble on the way. Fortunately, you and your wife are alright."

"Of course, I’m fine."

Lu Tianxing looked at Liang Shidao, took a deep breath, and said softly, "Mr. Liang, you shouldn’t have come here."

Seeing Lu Tianxing’s calm eyes, Liang Shidao felt a sudden chill in his heart and forced a smile, saying, "Brother Lu, you’re joking. We are friends, your business is my business. Besides, such a big thing happened today, how could I not come?"

Lu Tianxing said nothing, but a hint of killing intent flashed across his heart. From Liang Shidao’s change of expression earlier, he had already figured out that yesterday’s kidnapping of Bai Zhiqing was most likely orchestrated by the Liang Family.

And Liang Shidao’s visit this time was not to help him, but purely to watch the spectacle, or perhaps to deliver a fatal blow at a critical moment.

Liang Shidao was also sneering in his heart. Although Lu Tianxing’s words suggested he knew what happened yesterday was orchestrated by him, it no longer mattered. With so many families united, they could make Lu Tianxing suffer. No matter what choice Lu Tianxing made, he would become the target of the Jiangnan and even Beijing noble families. Meanwhile, the Liang Family had the Yang Family backing them, and Lu Tianxing couldn’t do anything against the Liang Family.

What surprised Liang Shidao was that Lu Tianxing seemed to have many friends and even managed to connect with the Beijing Shen Family. However, a single Shen Family was not enough to rely on, a family led by a woman was doomed to fall sooner or later.

"Liang Shidao, so you’re saying you’re determined to get involved in this matter today."

Standing beside Zhao Wuji, the middle-aged man Sun Qian was also a bit angry, with a hint of menace in his tone.

"He won’t get involved in this matter. My affairs don’t require others to intervene."

Before Liang Shidao could speak, Lu Tianxing had already spoken first, "From the look of your words, today you won’t stop until I cripple my martial arts myself."

"That’s right. When your father did something wrong back then, he died, and we let it go. But now, he still has a son, so we have to hold you accountable. A father’s debt is repaid by the son. Today, you must cripple your own martial arts to give us an explanation." Zhao Wuji said solemnly.

The other family members present didn’t speak, but their expressions carried a trace of coldness.

"What if I don’t cripple my martial arts?"

"Then don’t blame us for being rude. I know your strength is formidable, but can you be stronger than all of us? We can always resort to mutually destructive measures." Zhao Wuji said viciously, not believing that Shen Manjun and Liang Shidao would dare to tear their faces with so many families in Jiangnan.

"Is that so?"

Lu Tianxing nodded indifferently, then turned to Old Master Lu and said, "Grandpa, do your words still count? Can I kill them all?"

As soon as Lu Tianxing finished speaking, Lu Hongda could not help but speak up, "Lu Tianxing, you’re too presumptuous. Do you know who they are? They are from the major families of Jiangnan. If you kill them, do you want the Lu Family to be annihilated?"

"Are you thinking that slap just now was too light?"

Lu Tianxing’s eyes instantly narrowed, and the killing intent shot out from his eyes again.

Feeling the killing intent in Lu Tianxing’s eyes, Lu Hongda’s face changed, and he didn’t dare to say another word. He looked at Lu Tianxing with a face full of hatred, secretly cursing him a few times as a beast in his heart.

Upon seeing this scene, Liang Shidao was immediately overjoyed in his heart; the show was finally about to play out. Now it depended on how Old Master Lu responded. If he forbade the killing, Lu Tianxing falling out with the Lu Family would be a foregone conclusion. If those people were killed, then the Lu Family would have offended the whole of Jiangnan, finally paving the way for the Liang Family’s rise.

"Kill them if they want to kill you. Why not kill?"

Old Master Lu finally spoke, saying slowly, "You are my grandson, so go ahead and do whatever you want! The Lu Family will always be your backing. I want to see who dares to harm my grandson today. Whoever tries, dies."

As he spoke, Old Master Lu looked at Lu Haoyue, who was standing behind Lu Bowen, and said, "Haoyue, go bring me my sword."

"Yes!"

Without any hesitation, Lu Haoyue immediately turned and walked toward the hall.
