Lu Shuixian’s words made Lu Zihao frown.
Lu Zihao was not actually stupid. He naturally knew that doing this might damage Lu Shuixian’s and the Lu family’s reputation, but he had a bolder idea.
His sister was a favoured child of heaven. To put it bluntly, her future achievements might very well reach the peak of China, so why ruin her lifelong happiness for a cripple?
If he could use this matter to ruin this marriage, then what did it matter even if the Lu family became a laughingstock? Therefore, Lu Zihao continued to speak.
“Sister, Mr. Luo is the pinnacle of China after all. Could it be that we really have to let him enter our Lu family through some unorthodox side path?”
“If this gets out, would it not make people laugh at Mr. Luo?” With these words, Lu Zihao elevated Luo Chen to a point where he could not back down. Although his voice was not loud, it was enough for everyone around to hear.
Hearing this, Lu Shuixian frowned even deeper.
In a public setting, it was not appropriate for her to clash with her own brother. Therefore, Lu Shuixian walked to Luo Chen’s side, pulled him aside, and spoke in a low voice.
“Luo Chen, you should just take this small path later. You absolutely must not walk across the skybridge.”
“Oh?” Luo Chen asked indifferently.
“This skybridge is far from as simple as it looks. Now that your cultivation is completely scattered, it would be best if…”
“Shuixian, I think your brother Zihao makes a good point. Mr. Luo is the dignified pinnacle of China. When going to your house, he cannot possibly just walk along this small path, can he?” Annie suddenly reached over, pulled Lu Shuixian away, and interrupted her words.
“How about it?” A malicious glint flashed in Lu Zihao’s eyes.
The number one person in China? He would show him a thing or two in a moment. Did he really think the gates of their Lu family were that easy to enter?
Did he really think the eldest daughter of their Lu family was that easy to marry?
“Mr. Luo, actually, I, Lu Zihao, will speak openly.”
“If you cannot even cross this Lu family skybridge, what qualifications do you have to enter our Lu family and marry our Lu family’s fairy?” Lu Zihao’s words made it even more impossible for the other party to back down.
The onlooking crowd around them immediately showed expressions of anticipating a good show on their faces.
“It seems the marriage between the Lu family and Luo Wuji is not as simple as everyone imagined. There are people in the Lu family who oppose this marriage too,” a spellcaster from Guangxi remarked.
“Zihao! Are you not just making a scene?” Lu Shuixian also said in a deep voice.
“Do you not understand his current situation?”
“No matter what his current situation is, even if his cultivation is completely scattered, even if he is a cripple, that is his own business!”
“The rules of our Lu family have always been like this. If he wants to marry my sister, he must walk in through this skybridge with dignity!” Lu Zihao spoke again in a deep voice.
Since the words were out in the open, Lu Shuixian could not say much more in front of everyone. Instead, she kept winking at Luo Chen.
However, Luo Chen simply ignored Lu Shuixian’s signals and looked around.
Afterwards, Luo Chen spoke with a calm expression.
“Well said.” As soon as Luo Chen spoke these words, Lu Shuixian’s expression immediately changed.
“I, the dignified Luo Wuji, naturally must enter your Lu family with dignity!”
As soon as Luo Chen said this, not only Lu Shuixian but everyone around was stunned.
Everyone was very surprised because anyone who was not a fool could tell that Lu Zihao was deliberately provoking Luo Chen. Had the dignified Luo Wuji actually fallen for it?
“Good, truly courageous. I just hope Mr. Luo does not regret it later, and certainly does not get scared!” Lu Zihao immediately let out a cold laugh.
A wave of disappointment immediately washed over Lu Shuixian at the side.
Whether it was on the plane earlier or at the airport, even if she was angry, those were just minor squabbles.
But now it was different. This skybridge was a hundred metres high. If an ordinary person stood on it and looked down, their legs would probably go weak, let alone the fact that there was a rushing river below. If things went wrong, it could cost someone their life.
No matter how harsh Lu Zihao’s words were, as long as Luo Wuji did not fall into the trap, the worst that would happen is losing a bit of face.
Moreover, to put it bluntly, Luo Wuji allying with the Lu family at this time and seeking their protection was already considered shameless. Why was he suddenly caring about face at this moment?
“Wait a moment.” Lu Shuixian suddenly pulled Luo Chen and spoke again.
“I just reminded you. That skybridge is not an ordinary skybridge. There are arrays on it. You used to be a spellcaster, so you must understand arrays, right?”
“Without a cultivation level above the Divine Connection realm, if you walk on it, you will definitely fall!” Lu Shuixian spoke again.
“Luo Chen, at a time like this, face is really not that important!”
But Luo Chen seemed to turn a deaf ear to Lu Shuixian’s words and instead spoke calmly.
“It is just a mere skybridge. It cannot stump me.”
“Hmph, you really dare to speak boldly?” The spellcaster from Guangxi stood in the crowd and sneered.
“Just a mere skybridge?” Lu Zihao was also unhappy upon hearing this.
“From what you mean, it seems our Lu family’s skybridge is just an ornament?”
“If it were before, and you said this, I really would not dare to say much.”
“But what about now?”
“You, Luo Wuji, are just a…”
“Lu Zihao, shut your mouth!” Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, interrupting Lu Zihao’s words.
Then, a large group of people came out one after another.
The leaders were Lu Heshan, Luo’s father, and Shen Yuelan, among others.
Luo’s father and Shen Yuelan had already been brought to the Lu family estate by Lu Heshan.
Lu Heshan had also just received the news that Luo Chen and Lu Shuixian had arrived. Originally, the few of them were inside waiting for them to come in. But then they heard a subordinate come in to report that Luo Chen was being made to walk the skybridge to enter the Lu family.
Upon hearing this, Lu Heshan was instantly furious.
Luo Chen’s cultivation was now completely scattered, and he did not have a shred of cultivation left. If he were to walk that skybridge, how could that be allowed?
Was this not deliberately making things difficult for the future son in law of the Lu family?
Therefore, he hurriedly brought people out.
“Grandfather?” Lu Zihao looked back and was instantly stunned, his face changing immediately.
But Lu Heshan ignored Lu Zihao and instead walked up with a smile and said,
“Mr. Luo, I am sorry. The younger generation is ignorant and has made a fool of themselves in front of you.”
“You brat, you are so slow even when picking someone up. Hurry up and let us go.” Shen Yuelan was, after all, the former business empress, and her reaction speed was naturally not poor. She smoothly provided an excuse to help Luo Chen step down.
“Why are you still standing outside? Please come inside quickly.” Lu Heshan also hurriedly gave Luo Chen a way out.
However, Lu Zihao seemed determined to cause trouble today.
“Grandfather, he just said it is just a mere skybridge and there is no difficulty at all!”
“Lu Zihao, you…”
“Hello, Grandfather Lu. I also want to witness the peerless elegance of the number one person in China walking across this skybridge,” Annie, standing to the side, also slowly spoke up.
Once Annie spoke, the nature of the matter changed completely.
