Chapter 805: The Secret of the Animal Tooth
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Lu Feixue was his aunt and Ming Yu was his loyal underling. The first feeling Lu Li had was being offended. On the paper, Lu Feixue was also Ming Yu’s master. How could an underling go against his superior and go after his master?
But Lu Li’s anger lasted for merely one moment before he calmed down again. Ming Yu had been with him for many years. In the name, they were servants and masters. But as a matter of fact, they were no different from brothers or friends.
Furthermore, this was not his wishful thinking. He stated that he and Lu Feixue had fallen for each other. If that was the case, the marriage could be arranged.
Lu Li, in his regained composure, looked at Lu Feixue. Seeing that she was blushing, Lu Li was sure.
“Ming Yu?”
Lu Renhuang was really indigent. Back in the days, he went passed the Island of Thousand Lakes. He met Ming Yu and believed he was talented. Therefore, Lu Renhuang gave Ming Yu some Mystical Materials and instructions. Without Lu Renhuang’s help, Ming Yu would not be here. How could he have the courage to pursue his sister now?
Ming Yu was clever enough to turn to Lu Li for help instead of Lu Renhuang. The prerequisite, of course, was that Lu Li had a high status and he could make decisions. Otherwise, Ming Yu’s efforts would have been in vain.
Looking at each other again, Lu Li and Lu Ling both made up their mind. Taking a look of Lu Renhuang’s expression, Lu Li stood up, waved his hand and said, “Ming Yu, know your place. Where do you think you are? How dare you speak so? Excuse yourself and we will talk about it later!”
On the surface, Lu Li was scolding Ming Yu but the former’s true intention was to protect the latter. If Lu Renhuang really was enraged, then there would be no marriage. Naturally, Ming Yu could read between the lines. He got on one knee again quickly and said, “I am sorry. I will go back and ponder over my mistakes right now.”
Ming Yu left in strides. On his face, he seemed to be upset but secret he was delighted. He could hear from Lu Li’s words that the chances were great.
He was a servant of the Lu Family. To marry Lu Feixue would be practically impossible if it were for any other families. But now, there was a glint of hope…
That patriarch of the External Clan sighed to himself at Lu Li’s words. His suggestion would not be adopted. It appeared that his son was about to remain alone for the rest of his life…
Two suggestions of marriage had been denied but the others’ enthusiasm was not dying down? Why was that?
The reason was that Lu Renhuang, Lu Li and Lu Ling were not only masters of the Lu Family, they were the ones that could compete with the Demon-slaying Hall. Lu Li and Lu Ling were still young. Lu Renhuang was at his forties. Decades later, the three of them could possibly unify the land.
To establish connection with the Lu Family right now would mean a kinsman of the emperor in the future. The families would enjoy tens of thousands of years in glory and soar up with the support of Lu Family’s might. Those were the families that could develop into a super force in the future.
Therefore, a patriarch of the External Clan stood up and said, “Future Family Patriarch, I have a granddaughter. She is beautiful. More than that, she has a good heart. She is at the Noble Lord Realm and talented. She has admired Young Master Li for years. I wonder…”
“Sh*t!”
Lu Li pulled a long face. First, it was Lu Ling, then, it was Lu Feixue and now, it was his turn. Would someone suggest a date for Lu Renhuang later?
Just as Lu Li had this thought, an elder stood up and proposed, “Future Family Patriarch, I heard that your wife has passed away, quite unfortunately. I have a granddaughter with good looks and personality. She has always having feelings for you…”
Someone was really going after Lu Renhuang!
In that instant, Lu Li and Lu Ling became utterly annoyed. Lu Ling stood up abruptly and left via the back corridor without saying one word. Lu Li save nobody’s face. He stood up and left with Lu Ling without giving anyone a look. Lu Feixue got up as well, leaving only Lu Renhuang in embarrassment…
Lu Li and the others went to another hall where Ming Yu was waiting in. As soon as Lu Feixue entered, she became blushed. She gave Ming Yu a glare and went to another yard shyly. Something must be going on between the two.
“Young Master!”
Ming Yu was worried. He followed Lu Li around and was ready to kneel down again. Throwing him a glance, Lu Li said, “Ming Yu, it is useless to beg me. If my aunt agrees, I will not stand in the way. But I don’t think it will be easy to be approved by my father. Additionally, grandfather is going to recover quickly. You have to strive for it by yourself.”
Ming Yu seemed to be anxious. Just now, Lu Renhuang had already become unhappy. Now, he had to seek approval from Lu Zhengyang as well.
Lu Zhengyang was a famous pedantic person. How shameful would he be if Lu Feixue were to be married to Lu Li’s servant?
“Plop~”
Ming Yu knelt down and pleaded, “Young Master, you have to help me. If you don’t, I will not get up until I am dead.”
Lu Li gave Lu Ling a speechless look. She was emotionless, making a clear stance that she would stay out of it. She valued filial deity very much and would not put Lu Renhuang in a difficult position. She knew Lu Li well enough that Lu Li would not look on with folded arms. Whether she voiced her opinion or not did not matter.
Lu Li thought about it while Ming Yu kept on his knees. In a moment, someone came. It was Lu Renhuang that stepped into the hall. Seeing Ming Yu on his knees, Lu Renhuang snorted and said, “Men should not kneel to just any one. You think that is going to help you?”
“Get up now!”
Lu Li said. Ming Yu did so embarrassingly. Lu Li said after some consideration, “Father, since Ming Yu and aunt love each other, let us approve the marriage. Aunt has suffered so many years. Ming Yu has been with me for years and I know that he is a nice man.”
Giving Lu Renhuang a glance, Lu Renhuang said coldly to Lu Li, “I do not want to stand in their way but I think they will have some difficulties with your grandfather. If he says yes, I will not interfere.”
“Thank you, master!” In the moment of delight, Ming Yu wanted to kneel again. But he changed it to a bow half the way through because he remembered Lu Renhuang’s words.
Waving his hand, Lu Renhuang said, “Excuse yourself now. Cultivate with efforts and if you can reach the Earth Immortal Realm, my father will not stand in the way. Not only so, he will even perform your ceremony in person. Power is decisive in the world. Don’t you see?”
“Yes!”
Ming Yu left with great respect and joy. Lu Renhuang went to the center seat in the hall and Lu Lin poured him a cup of tea in person. Lu Renhuang looked at her with a warm smile. Remembering something, he asked, “Ling-er, you are at the right age. Is there no young master of the entire Great Land that you fancy?”
Lu Ling was still void of emotions. “There is… really no one!” She said, shaking her head.
Lu Renhuang sighed at her answer but didn’t say anything. Another thing came to Lu Li’s mind. He had always wanted Lu Renhuang to answer this question for him. “Father, what is the story of that animal tooth pendant you gave me?”
“The animal tooth?”
Lu Ling was interested in finding out the answer as well. Because of the animal tooth pendant, Lu Li was about to awaken the Silver Dragon Bloodline and was able to accomplish all the achievements. Without the animal tooth, Lu Li might have died years ago…
“That animal tooth pendant…”
Lu Renhuang was losing himself into memory. Of course he remembered the animal tooth since he was the one left it to Lu Li. After pondering about it for some moment, Lu Renhuang said, “I got that animal tooth from the Demon-slaying City. I accumulated many battle points in the small Demon-slaying Battleground and I traded them for many rare Mystical Materials and treasures. The animal tooth was one of them and it cost me a lot of points because… it was Emperor of Heaven Reverse’s legacy.”
“Wow!”
Lu Li was taken by surprise. When he went to the Demon-slaying City himself, the statue of the Emperor of Heaven Reverse lit up. Later, when Deputy Master was about to kill Lu Li, the statue gave out lights again. Xing Mu might have come and saved Lu Li because Xing Mu had received instructions from Emperor of Heaven Reverse.
That being said…
Lu Li remembered that when the rays of light from the statue covered him up, the silver dragon resisted the energy and was unwilling to accept the divine energy passed down to him from Emperor of Heaven Reverse. How come?
Many questions crowded Lu Li’s mind. Somehow, he sensed that within the animal tooth hid a stunning secret. However, he was not capable enough to have the right to know just yet…
Or, was it possible that the question could only be answered when he met the Emperor of Heaven Reverse in person? In that case, he had to reach the peak of the Semi-God Realm warrior first and go past the Prison of Thunder so as to ascend to the Divinity.
