Chapter 1026: Reprimand
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Li cleared up Zi Lian’s mess. She was his friend, and the Zi Family did follow Lu Li for a long time. He did so not only for Zi Lian’s sake but also for the Zi Family’s sake.
It was unlikely that Lu Li could pay no attention to this incident. Otherwise, Jiang Family and Ye Family’s dispute would prolong. He would not allow for any internal strife when they were about to face a formidable foe.
Lu Li paid a visit to Ye City. Ye Luo asked his father, who was cultivating, to go out. Ye Family did not show unhappiness now that Lu Li came in person to make amends. Without him, there would be no Ye Family in its current standing. In addition, with Lu Li’s force and abilities, wiping out the Ye Family would be child’s play to him.
Lu Li apologized on behalf of Zi Lian and Jiang Wuwo and gave Jiang Family’s interests at the Ocean Land of the East to the Ye Family as compensation.
Besides, Lu Li slapped Jiang Qiling’s uncle in public. Ye Family had worked off their anger. Ye Hongtu, who had calmed down, did not say much.
Ye Luo understood the difficult position Lu Li was on. The former sent him out in person and promised that he would quiet the matter down with the Ye Family and would not give Lu Li more trouble.
Lu Li did not go to Qiling City after consoling the Ye Family. Instead, he went to the King Kong City of the Lu Family and send a message for Jiang Tianshun to come at once.
Lu Li chatted with Lu Zhengyang for a while who did not say much and shook his head with a heavy heart. Lu Li told him to pay more attention to their disciples. Incidences of helping the evil doers or bullying the vulnerable must be dealt with seriously.
Lu Zhengyang understood the severity of it. He invited Great Grandpa Five over and told him to see to it that the family rules were executed and any breaches should be punished.
“Have you heard from your father?”
After Great Grandpa Five left, Lu Zhengyang asked with worry. Lu Li shook his head in disagreement. How would he know? He did not go to the Prison of Ice. Lu Renhuang was gone for a long time without sending back any information. The fact that his jade talisman of life was intact offered comfort to Lu Li and Lu Zhengyang.
Lu Zhengyang asked Lu Li another question, “When will those warriors’ invasion be upon us?”
Lu Li told Lu Zhengyang something about the warriors of the nine universes but did not elaborate. The former only stated that they would be expecting some enemies, and they were not that terrifying.
“In a year or two.” Lu Li said after some thought.
Lu Zhengyang’s eyes were filled with concern. “How confident are you?”
“Quite!”
Lu Li nodded with a smile. “As a matter of fact, I have struck a deal with God of Sorcerer and God of Barbarian. In the case of invasions, they will use their avatars to help me. Think about that... two immortals are assisting me. Do you think I will lose?”
“Immortals?”
Lu Zhengyang was taken aback. Lu Li explained with patience but left some part out.
Lu Li gave it some thought and decided to pass the Methods of Shield, Spirit Element and Transcendent State to Lu Zhengyang as the Lu Family’s legacy. If disciples of the Lu Family could learn them, then Lu Family would be able to dominate the Heaven Reverse Universe for generations.
“Skills from the Divinity?”
Lu Zhengyang was excited. He used a high-quality hide scroll to record the methods. Lu Li told him not to leak the methods under all circumstances, and those who wished to learn them could only have limited information. They could not know that those were skills from the Divinity but only from ancient times.
Lu Zhengyang understood. He put away the scrolls, still excited. He took a moment to calm himself down before he said, “Lu Li, you are stronger than any one of us now. You are a smart kid, and there isn’t much I can help you with. All I can do as your grandpa is to manage the family well. You just do whatever you want to do. You will always have my support.”
“Right!”
Lu Li smiled. He went to a room to cultivate. It would take Jiang Tianshun several days to arrive. Lu Li didn’t want to go to Qiling City now so he decided to devote these days to cultivate.
Several days later, Jiang Tianshun teleported over. He came to King Kong City directly without stopping by the Qiling City. Lu Li stopped cultivating to meet him.
Lu Zhengyang did not come, as a way to save some dignity for Jiang Tianshun. Otherwise, Jiang Tianshun would be embarrassed. Lu Li did not waste time. He looked at Jiang Tianshun and said, “Grandpa Jiang, Jiang Family is getting full of itself recently.”
“Right!”
Jiang Tianshun had learned everything before he came. He did not talk back. With a forced smile, he continued, “I know about this. Later, I will go back and take care of it. Lu Li, if you have words of reprimand, do tell.”
Jiang Tianshun used the word “reprimand”, and he adopted a humble attitude. Unlike Jiang Wuwo, Jiang Tianshun maintained a sane mind. He knew that at the Heaven Reverse Universe, Lu Li’s will could not be violated. Even immortals conceded to Lu Li. Jiang Tianshun knew him very well. If Lu Li was offended, the Jiang Family would succumb to a bad fate.
“Not necessarily reprimand. That is too serious a word.”
Lu Li said with a straight face, “I have promised the Ye Family that you will transfer your resources at Ocean Land of the East to them as compensation. Grandpa Jiang, I don’t think you will blame me, right?”
“Of course not.”
Jiang Tianshun’s heart was aching, but he pretended as if nothing happened. The Jiang Family occupied a large number of resources and lands at the Ocean Land of the East.
He tried hard to find the strength to shake his head, “Wuwo has done wrong. Naturally, we have to pay. Over the years, Jiang Family’s disciples are becoming arrogant, which is a fact. It is time to give them a wake-up call.”
“Grandpa Jiang, you may not know this but the Heaven Reverse Universe will be faced with a catastrophe soon.”
Lu Li sighed. He did not get into the details of the catastrophe that would soon befall them. He then said, “In order to survive this catastrophe, I am devoting my full effort. I don’t want to see any trouble in the rear. This time, I humiliated Jiang Qiling’s uncle. Please apologize for me. I will not go myself. Please help me comfort the other uncles in the Jiang Family.”
“Catastrophe?”
Jiang Tianshun frowned and asked with extreme caution, “Is it bad? Lu Li... you are preparing for that by relocating the families in here?”
“Do not worry too much and do not tell the others.”
Lu Li explained, “I have reached an agreement with God of Sorcerer and God of Barbarian. They will help me. If it’s just some Semi-God Realm warriors invading then I can handle them.”
“Okay. I know what I should do.” Jiang Tianshun nodded. “I will keep an eye on the Jiang Family. No more trouble will come up. I am sorry to have bothered you.”
“Thank you, Grandpa Jiang.” Lu Li smiled. “When you go past the base camp, try to bring Jiang Qiling to her senses. She listens to you.”
“That girl.” Jiang Tianshun’s eyes were brimming with fondness as he said, “Her mother passed away too early and Wuwo never disciplined her. She has a bad temper. Fortunately, she met you. Please be tolerant of her.”
Jiang Tianshun remembered the time when he did not agree to the relationship between Jiang Qiling and Lu Li. Now, Lu Li had climbed to a new height in powers and status. Jiang Tianshun could not help but exclaim that if Jiang Qiling had not insisted on staying with Lu Li, the Jiang Family would never see today’s glory.
Jiang Tianshun left soon to rectify the Jiang Family. Lu Li walked outside and gave Ye Cha an order, “Send someone to keep an eye on Zi Lian. If she overdoes it again, tell my grandpa to capture her and detain her.”
He was about to confront his enemies, and he could not afford to be distracted again. He could forgive Zi Lian once. But, he would not see her challenge him again and again.
