CHAPTER 684: CHAPTER 683: FIRST-LINE FAMILY

After Feng Yiyang agreed to several unreasonable demands, Lu Zixun finally nodded in satisfaction.

After learning about Spirit Second Generation suitors of Lin Xi, Lu Zixun asked somewhat surprisingly, "You now possess I-Level strength and are also the deputy head of Huan Team. Is dealing with a few Spirit Second Generation really such an effort for you?"

"It’s definitely not difficult for me to deal with them."

Feng Yiyang shook his head, "It’s the forces behind them, so... that’s why I asked Lord Xun to make a stand for me."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun immediately understood.

These Spiritual Ability Users, when taught a lesson, would call their fathers, and if their fathers still couldn’t handle it, they would call their grandfathers and so on.

Lu Zixun’s presence undoubtedly cut off this pathway.

After learning these cliché and bad-taste matters, Lu Zixun expressed his boredom, "These Spirit Second Generations, how come they only have the playboy attribute? Isn’t it said the more capable one is, the more low-key they should be?"

"They don’t witness the cruelty of this world and always feel that as Spiritual Ability Users, they are superior; plus, having a powerful family behind them makes developing such traits quite normal over time."

After explaining, Feng Yiyang, having given the items he made to Lin Xi, continued, "Moreover, from what I know about Crimson Land families over the years, it seems that Crimson intentionally allows these issues to persist, as there is no threat."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow.

Without the protection of Crimson, these Spirit Second Generation wouldn’t be so arrogant.

It seemed Crimson wanted to create a situation of uneven balance.

Recalling Long Jiuri’s admonishment, Lu Zixun expressed his resolve to hold his ground here.

As for the world behind these Spirit Second Generations, Lu Zixun, having absorbed the last Spiritual Ability Trait, would enter F-level today and wouldn’t fear them anymore.

"Quack quack quack, Lord Xun, Mr. Jiu asked me to deliver something!"

The noisy Black Crow landed on the windowsill, placed two gift boxes in front of him, and flapped its wings while calling.

"Heard it, heard it."

Lu Zixun, rubbing his ears, collected the gift boxes and looked helplessly at Black Crow, "Little Black, can you not be so loud next time? It’s too harsh on the ears."

"Quack quack quack, no way, no way, this is Black Crow Express’ special style, Changming Brother told me to create our own brand!"

After a sly retort, Black Crow, seemingly afraid of being hit by Lu Zixun, flapped its wings vigorously and flew away quickly.

Watching the dot in the sky moving further and further away, Lu Zixun really wanted to use the Night Evil Sword to scare Black Crow.

The time came to noon.

Watching the guests arriving continuously, Lu Zixun couldn’t help but yawn, these wealthy families make even a birthday complicated.

"Lord Xun, what are you doing here? I’ve been looking for you for quite a while."

Coming up to the rooftop and seeing Lu Zixun lying in the sun, Feng Yiyang jogged over and said.

"What’s wrong?"

Transformed into a human, Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow and looked at Feng Yiyang, "Did those Spirit Second Generations come looking to trouble you?"

"Not yet, they haven’t come over yet."

He shook his head, Feng Yiyang touched his nape, "Uncle wants to see you, but I’m not sure what it’s about."

Lin Tianxiang wants to see him?

Lu Zixun thought for a moment, it must be about Long Jiuri.

Thinking about the two gift boxes stored within the talisman, Lu Zixun slightly nodded, "Let’s go, next time you contact me, just send me a message."

Upon arriving at the study in Lin Mansion, facing this middle-aged man whose temples had already turned white but who possessed a vibrant spirit, Lu Zixun instinctively compared him to Long Jiuri.

Compared to the much younger Long Jiuri, Lin Tianxiang seemed not like his friend, but rather like an uncle.

"You must be the Xiao Xun that Ninth Brother is always talking about? Handsome indeed."

Looking at Lu Zixun and offering a compliment, Lin Tianxiang smiled amiably, "Don’t just stand there, have a seat, make yourself at home."

"This birthday, I originally didn’t want to make a big fuss, but those old beasts kept asking if I had thought about an alliance through marriage, so I just took this chance to announce the marriage between Xi’er and Yiyang."

With a face showing impatience, Lin Tianxiang complained for a bit, then continued, "Xiao Xun, how has Ninth Brother been lately?"

"I don’t know."

The absent-minded Lu Zixun came back to his senses and said, "I haven’t seen Ninth Brother for a long time either, I don’t know what he’s been up to lately, but Ninth Brother asked me to do something."

Taking out a gift box from the storage talisman, Lu Zixun presented it with both hands to Lin Tianxiang, smiling, "Happy birthday to you."

Unexpectedly receiving this gesture, Lin Tianxiang’s mood instantly brightened.

He quickly received the gift Lu Zixun presented, his expression cheerful, "I didn’t expect that Ninth Brother would remember today is my birthday, ah, it’s been so long since I’ve had a drink with Ninth Brother, it would have been nice if he could come today."

Ordinary people might hesitate to accept gifts, but Lin Tianxiang did not.

It seemed his relationship with Long Jiuri must be very good for him to act so naturally.

After carefully placing the gift box aside, Lin Tianxiang, now looking quite solemn, gazed at Lu Zixun, "Xiao Xun, I know why Yiyang specifically asked you to come, but I advise against doing what you plan."

Frowning, Lu Zixun looked up at Lin Tianxiang, confusion evident in his eyes.

"The Lin family’s power is only a step away from that of a sovereign family; at least five leading families wish to form marital alliances, but unfortunately, they do not know how much I love my daughter."

With a smirk of mockery, Lin Tianxiang spoke without mercy, "As if their sons could even stand a chance with my precious Xi’er, they should take a good look at themselves first."

Hearing this, Lu Zixun turned to look at Feng Yiyang, his face masking a restrained smile.

Pausing for a moment, Lin Tianxiang continued, "So, they will certainly seize the moment I announce the engagement to cause trouble, but rest assured, I can handle it."

Lu Zixun understood Lin Tianxiang’s intention, which was to not provoke these five leading families.

After all, the Lin family had merely not formed alliances with them; they were just ventilating their frustrations, and that would be the end of it.

But if Lu Zixun were to intervene, it would be like slapping these families in the face.

After all, Lu Zixun would be acting for Feng Yiyang, not for the Lin family.

Understanding the intricacies of the situation, Lu Zixun shook his head and said contemplatively, "Brother Tian, do you really think they will just cause a fuss?"

The expression on Lin Tianxiang’s face stiffened momentarily before he forced a smile, "Whether they do or not, the Lin family can handle it, don’t worry."

Facing Lin Tianxiang’s hidden worries beneath his smile, Lu Zixun let his Spiritual Energy aura emerge and smiled slightly, "I dare to offend Crimson, so why should I fear these few families?"
