Beauty Chairwoman's Bodyguard Expert-Chapter 1724 - 1717: Old Sir Lu’s Words

Meanwhile, far away in Jiangnan, within the Lu Family Mansion.

Old Sir Lu sat on a chair in the study, his face unable to hide a smile, and before him was a steaming cup of tea brewed with bamboo from a Qingxin Tea.

Beside him, Lu Haoyue sat respectfully, seemingly waiting for Old Sir Lu to speak, with a cup of Qingxin tea in front of him as well.

After a moment, Old Sir Lu took a gentle sip of the tea before speaking again, "Haoyue, according to what you said, Tianxing has subdued the Holy Daughter of the Holy See?"

"Grandpa, you’re right, maybe in the future your great-grandson could be the new Pope of the Holy See." Lu Haoyue smiled as he spoke in response to Old Sir Lu’s words.

Honestly, in his heart, apart from admiring Lu Tianxing’s strength, what he admired most was Lu Tianxing’s prowess in wooing women; to have conquered even the Holy Daughter of the Holy See. If he could have a son become the Pope, it would absolutely be advantageous for the Lu Family, even if at that time the Lu Family was besieged in China and couldn’t stay, as long as they fled to the Vatican, they’d have nothing to worry about, no one would be able to touch them.

"Hahaha, good, good, very well done."

Upon hearing Lu Haoyue’s words, Old Sir Lu said "good," three times, expressing his deep joy, "Tianxing did incredibly well this time. When my great-grandson is born, I’ll personally go find Ji Xingyun, that old fellow, and have him accompany me to the Holy See to talk to Edward, to discuss my great-grandson’s succession, and personally slaughter Edward, that old fellow, to make my great-grandson the Pope."

Listening to Old Sir Lu’s words, Lu Haoyue couldn’t help but break into a sweat; fierce, overly fierce. Was this a plan to coerce the Pope into retiring by force?

In this world, perhaps only his grandfather could be that domineering.

"By the way, Haoyue, besides this matter, is there any movement in Beijing?" Finally, Old Sir Lu stopped his laughter, looked at Lu Haoyue, and spoke again.

"There’s no major movement among the noble families in Beijing; after the battle at the Great Wall, everyone pulled back their claws, even the Yang Family didn’t make a move after I left Beijing, not sure what they’re planning."

Lu Haoyue looked at Old Sir Lu and spoke, "However, during the battle at the Great Wall, Beiqiang Jiang Liufeng’s disciple Cangwu appeared at the Great Wall and helped cousin kill Poseidon, and Cangwu also invited cousin to Qin Island. This morning cousin already left Beijing back to Modu, and if expected, cousin should head to Qin Island in a few days. Grandpa, should we remind cousin about this matter?"

"No need."

Old Sir Lu waved his hand, took a deep breath, and said, "We don’t need to worry about this matter, Jiang Liufeng will not harm Tianxing."

"Why?"

Old Sir Lu glanced at Lu Haoyue, slowly speaking, "Because Jiang Liufeng is Tianxing’s grandfather, your third uncle’s wife Jiang Hongyan is Jiang Liufeng’s adopted daughter, and about what you told me last time regarding the person who took Tianxing’s DNA identification report, that person is Cangwu."

"What?"

Listening to Old Sir Lu’s words, Lu Haoyue’s face couldn’t help but flash with strong surprise, hesitantly saying: "But Grandpa, as far as I know, when Third Uncle and Third Aunt died back then, Jiang Liufeng didn’t seem to be involved in that matter, and although there are many rumors outside claiming Jiang Liufeng is Third Aunt’s adoptive father, it has never been verified."

"You’re wrong."

Old Sir Lu glanced at Lu Haoyue, explaining, "When your Third Aunt had an accident back then, Jiang Liufeng acted immediately, but he faced a fierce ambush before he even left Qin Island, with several Late Stage of Mythical level experts attacking him. Although Jiang Liufeng’s skill was good, there’s an old saying that two fists cannot defeat four hands; although Jiang Liufeng killed several Late Stage of Mythical masters, he was stopped at Qin Island and even himself got poisoned with a venom called ’Flower Bloom Fallen Leaves’."

"By logic, those poisoned with that won’t survive through spring and autumn, inevitably dying when the flowers bloom and leaves fall. But Jiang Liufeng forcefully suppressed the poison, although for the rest of his life unable to use martial arts again — once he does, the faster he’ll die — thus he stayed on Qin Island, never leaving, because he knew very well that leaving Qin Island meant inevitable death and seeking revenge for his daughter was even more impossible."

Listening to Old Sir Lu’s words, Lu Haoyu paused for a moment, continuing, "Grandpa, I have another question, since you said Jiang Liufeng was poisoned and couldn’t easily use martial arts, why didn’t they completely eliminate him to avoid later trouble?"

"Eliminate completely, they didn’t have the guts."

A hint of coldness appeared on Old Sir Lu’s face, "Back then, Jiang Liufeng and Ji Xingyun were quite friendly, almost old friends. Jiang Liufeng even saved Ji Xingyun’s life once; their attempt to besiege Jiang Liufeng failed. If they tried again, Ji Xingyun wouldn’t stand idly by, and by then, no matter which family it was, the final fate would be complete obliteration."

"More importantly, Jiang Liufeng, that old fellow, is adept at patience. After that surprise attack, he’s been hiding on Qin Island, remaining indifferent to the death of his adopted daughter, behaving as though the matter doesn’t concern him. Even after nurturing Cangwu as a disciple, Jiang Liufeng never had Cangwu investigate anything regarding his adopted daughter’s matters, and over time, everyone treated Jiang Liufeng being Jiang Hongyan’s adoptive father as mere rumors, no longer taking it seriously."

"Grandpa, since that’s the case, why is he choosing to appear and help cousin now, isn’t he afraid of inviting trouble?"

"Because he’s about to die; although he suppressed the ’Flower Bloom Fallen Leaves’ poison, his skill has been diminishing day by day. Once his skill drops below Yellow-level Martial Artist, he’s sure to die. Knowing he doesn’t have much time left, he wants to find someone to take care of him, so to speak."

Although the words spoken were sharp and bitter, Old Sir Lu’s face carried a hint of admiration; Jiang Liufeng doesn’t dislike Jiang Hongyan, his adopted daughter, rather likes her too much and thus chooses to endure it.

Because Jiang Liufeng understands clearly that since the opponent can dispatch several Late Stage of Mythical experts to stop him, even at all costs, then their power must be terrifyingly strong, even to the point where, despite uniting with the Lu Family, they still can’t do anything against them — thus he chose retreat and patience.

Since Jiang Liufeng understands, if he dies, this life he can’t avenge his daughter anymore, but as long as he’s alive, he has enough time to cultivate a genius out of someone to have a chance at avenging his daughter; this kind of enduring hardship is absolutely worthy of anyone’s admiration.
