Lu Chuan and Lu Heshan were arguing about this matter.
This was actually Lu Shuixian’s fault, because she had not explained in detail. She only mentioned encountering an expert who knew the Tongtian Seal, but said nothing about the destruction of someone’s Dao body!
At this moment, there was a knock on the ward door. The person from the Lu family who had been sent to fetch Luo Chen returned.
“Where is he?” Lu Chuan frowned and looked behind the person. It was empty. Luo Chen had not come.
“Mr Luo said he was having breakfast. If there is anything, we should go to him, rather than him coming here.” The person from the Lu family also looked very displeased. He had not even become the Lu family’s son-in-law yet, and he was already putting on such airs? What would happen if he became the Lu family’s son-in-law in the future?
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan immediately became angry. Even Lu Heshan could not help but frown. Even if your surname is Luo and you were previously the number one person in China, and even if this marriage was decided by the Tianshi Mansion, both Lu Chuan and Lu Heshan were prominent figures in the cultivation world and presidents of the Cultivators Association. No matter how much Luo Wuji put on airs, he was not qualified to do so in front of them!
“Mr Luo also asked me to bring a message,” the person from the Lu family said again.
“What message?” Lu Heshan frowned.
“After Miss Shuixian fell into a coma, he was the one who saved her.”
“He saved her?” Lu Chuan sneered. “Hmph, does he believe these words himself? With Shuixian and Zihao’s strength, they were not his match. How could a cripple save her?” Lu Chuan smiled mockingly.
“Forget it. Let us put this matter aside for now,” Lu Heshan said impatiently.
He also did not understand why the Tianshi Mansion valued Luo Chen so highly. But since the Tianshi Mansion had spoken, they would follow their arrangements. However, regarding Lu Zihao’s death, Lu Heshan already had some grievances against the Tianshi Mansion. After all, the injuries on Lu Zihao’s body were indeed caused by the Tongtian Seal.
After saying those words, Lu Heshan went back to handle the funeral affairs. Lu Chuan, however, stayed in the ward.
“Annie has called you several times while you were in a coma,” Lu Chuan said.
Lu Chuan suddenly mentioning this matter was definitely intentional.
“Dad, what do you mean?” Lu Shuixian was smart enough. As she spoke, she looked at Lu Chuan.
“Shuixian, Dad asks you, what do you think of Annie’s brother, Kai Howard?” Lu Chuan suddenly asked.
“A dragon among men!” Annie used only four words to evaluate him.
“How does he compare to Luo Wuji?” Lu Chuan continued to ask.
“I will tell the truth then,” Lu Shuixian said seriously.
“First, when Luo Wuji’s cultivation was at its peak, he was indeed shining brightly in China and could truly be called the number one person in China. After all, in terms of status, power, and even money, he had reached the top.”
“But compared to the European Howard family, Luo Wuji is far behind. The Howard family has hundreds of years of accumulation and heritage. How can Luo Wuji, who rose in less than a year, compare?” Mentioning the Howard family, Lu Shuixian’s face was full of pride.
“Moreover, in terms of status, connections, and even money, Luo Wuji is only at the top in China. On a global scale, what is Luo Wuji?” Lu Shuixian paused and continued. The Howards are considered a major family worldwide. This is definitely not something Luo Chen can compare to.
“As for the current Luo Wuji, do not even compare him to Kai Howard. He is not even worthy of carrying Kai’s shoes!” Lu Shuixian shook her head.
She was not actually foolish. Luo Chen’s performance overall was quite good. But why did she always look down on Luo Chen? Because Kai Howard was too outstanding. Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, the fact that Luo Chen could resolve the Qin Guohao matter was enough to capture a girl’s heart. But compared to Kai Howard, this matter was trivial.
“I think the same as you. Even if the Tianshi Mansion helps Luo Wuji get through this difficulty, or if he can recover his peak cultivation,” Lu Chuan took over the topic. “But Luo Wuji is ultimately just one person. He has no powerful backing behind him. But Kai Howard has the entire Howard family as his backing.”
When Lu Shuixian was in a coma, Lu Chuan received Annie’s call. Naturally, he knew that Kai Howard had arrived in China. And Kai Howard came naturally for Lu Shuixian.
This was why Lu Chuan dared to directly express his dissatisfaction with the Tianshi Mansion. Because Lu Chuan now had other plans.
“So, Father, what do you mean?” Lu Shuixian vaguely guessed a little.
“We will talk about it later.”
“In two days, your engagement to Luo Wuji will still be held as scheduled!” Lu Chuan stood with his hands behind his back, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
He had actually already met Kai Howard. If he could climb onto the big backing of the Howard family, why would he care about the Tianshi Mansion?
As for Luo Wuji? That was laughable! Although Lu Zihao had died, logically the Lu family should have postponed the engagement. But on that same day, the Lu family announced it. Even Shen Yuelan announced it in the name of the Luo family.
In two days, the engagement ceremony will be held at the Lu family residence!
This was equivalent to an official announcement.
Immediately, this news set off huge waves in China. After all, this matter had already caused heated discussion before. This time, even the time was confirmed, so the matter could be said to be set in stone.
But at the same time, another explosive piece of news was released.
The Cultivators Grand Gathering was moved forward.
It was on the day after Luo Chen’s engagement! Originally, this news was only circulating internally. But unexpectedly, just after the Lu and Luo families announced the engagement, various famous mountains officially announced the time of the Cultivators Grand Gathering.
In the past, the Cultivators Grand Gathering would not attract such widespread attention, nor would it be deliberately announced. But this time, because of Luo Chen’s grudges with the cultivators and various famous mountains, plus Luo Chen himself, it attracted the attention of almost everyone in China.
“Hmph, anyone who is not a fool can see that this is targeting Luo Wuji. Otherwise, why would they announce the time of the Cultivators Grand Gathering right after the engagement time was set?”
“I still think that relying on a woman to save his life is worse than dying in battle!”
At this moment, on Mount Luofu, Cang Songzi stood with his hands behind his back.
“A mere junior, able to make the Cultivators Grand Gathering change its time, you do have some ability. But I, Cang Songzi, want to kill you, so you must die!”
