Chapter 181 - 102: A Water Monkey as Big as an Elephant
"You all handle the scene. I’m going to find the general manager!"
After speaking, Lu Hai City turned and ran toward the office building. There was a phone there with a direct line to the Lu Family Mansion.
At night, the Lu Family Residence was brightly lit. Lu Yun had moved from the old estate where he’d lived for decades to this villa.
However, Lu Yun hadn’t moved in for his own comfort. With all the recent commotion, his sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren all lived here, and he worried that some audacious troublemakers might show up at their door.
Of course, the move had far more upsides.
With a Grandmaster of Divine Intent like him holding down the fort, anyone who wanted to make a move against the Lu Family would first have to consider their own strength.
After all, offending a Grandmaster of Divine Intent was no laughing matter. It was no different from being marked by King Yama himself.
Lu Yun sat on the living room sofa, his eyes closed in meditation. He had been doing a lot of thinking over the past few days.
Fame had its pros and cons. The downside was obvious: more people were watching him, and more people were coveting the Lu Family’s assets from the shadows.
But the upside was far greater. As long as he could stabilize the situation and maintain control over Yun Port City, he could use large quantities of Immortal Flesh to cultivate his own people—Jingteng, Jing Jun, Jingwu, Ah Fu, and the other core disciples of the Lu Family—and help them grow stronger.
Then, the Lu Family wouldn’t be propped up by him alone, but by an entire group.
Just then, the sound of footsteps approached, and two figures entered through the villa’s main door.
The one in the lead was his eldest daughter-in-law, Shen Luoying. She wore a small white dress, its hemline falling just to her knees and revealing her fair calves.
She had a curvaceous figure and a beautiful face, and her every move exuded the unique, seductive charm of a mature woman.
Following her was Li Zhiyu, dressed in an elegant cyan qipao that perfectly accentuated her slender figure.
Her features were gentle and her aura was pure. Standing next to Shen Luoying, one was seductive, the other innocent.
Lu Yun was, of course, very pleased that his two sons had married such a beautiful pair of women.
Following behind them were five or six female servants, each carrying a tray. On the trays were steaming bowls of soup.
It was a potent tonic soup that Lu Yun had ordered to be prepared, brewed from ingredients like the Centennial Ginseng King, Lingzhi, and Polygonum multiflorum.
Shen Luoying approached and said with a smile, "Father, the soups are ready."
Meanwhile, Li Zhiyu directed the servants to place the bowls of soup one by one on the dining table in the living room.
Lu Yun nodded slightly. "Yes. Thank you for your hard work."
"It’s nothing, Father!"
The two women replied in unison with a smile. The way they looked at Lu Yun now, it was as if they were gazing upon a mythological figure.
’Seriously, who could even understand this feeling?’
When their father-in-law was merely a Grandmaster of Huajin, they were already immensely proud and enjoyed an incredibly high status within their own maiden families.
All of their relatives, from their aunts to their distant cousins, treated them with the utmost respect. And now, their father-in-law had suddenly dropped another earth-shattering surprise on them.
’A Grandmaster of Divine Intent! That’s a level of existence even more powerful than a Grandmaster of Huajin! And most importantly, he’s being called the very first Grandmaster of Divine Intent in the Daxia New Country!’
After Lu Yun walked to the dining table and sat down, Shen Luoying and Li Zhiyu thoughtfully attended to him, preparing his bowl and chopsticks, uncovering the soup, setting out the spoon, and placing a folded napkin to the side.
Lu Yun glanced at them and said coolly, "Alright, you two may go. Jingteng and Jing Jun—those two rascals must be exhausted from dealing with all the guests these last couple of days, hmm?"
Shen Luoying nodded. "They have been a bit busy, yes, but they’re both thrilled about it."
Li Zhiyu also smiled. "Jing Jun said he’s never felt so distinguished in his entire life."
A faint smile touched Lu Yun’s lips. "Go on."
"Alright, Father. Zhiyu and I will take our leave. Please enjoy your meal!"
After bowing, the two of them led the servants out.
The living room fell silent once more. Lu Yun picked up a bowl of soup and drank it slowly. Only after he had finished it all did he focus his consciousness inward, into his mind.
