Chapter 342 The news of the Lü family's division excited everyone.
The senior members stood in the morning sunlight, their white hair tinged with the reddish light, revealing a unique and abundant vitality, just like clusters of flames burning intensely.
"Alright, Lao Lu, are you done on your end?"
The flames gathered together and teased each other for a while, then looked at Lu Jin, the protagonist of last night. The old people looked at Lu Jin's natural and clear demeanor, and although they had some expectations, they still asked with concern.
Facing everyone's gaze, Lu Jin simply nodded. It seemed that Li Muxuan's death had not affected this stubborn old man who had been upright all his life in the slightest.
Lu Jin, without changing his expression, clasped his hands in thanks to everyone, "Lu Jin thanks you all for your help and for your guidance last night. The appearance fee will be transferred to your respective accounts."
"Wow, Mr. Lu is so generous!"
"Old Master Lu is truly generous; that's what a family head like is. Wang the Skinflint, take another look at you!"
The elders did not refuse and accepted Lu Jin's gift without hesitation. However, the gift was actually a way to allow Lu Jin, the head of the Lu family who adhered to the righteous path, to openly acknowledge the events of the previous night on behalf of the Sanyi Sect and to recognize his current situation.
If they hadn't stopped him in time last night, and if Lu Jin had killed Li Muxuan under the wrong mindset and at the wrong time, then Lu Jin, this "good guy" who had struggled all his life, would definitely have been plagued by inner demons and confused thoughts.
With these inner demons and distracting thoughts, Lu Jin's future cultivation and lifespan will be greatly jeopardized.
Therefore, they should take the money; they are obligated to do the work.
Having accepted this small sum of money, Lu Jin, this "good-natured man," felt at ease, and their actions were also justified, so neither side owed the other anything.
"Don't be so serious. Don't forget, my Lü family gets two portions, and there's also that brat Lü Qian's portion."
Amid a chorus of well-meaning compliments to Lu Jin, Lü Ci stepped forward, raising his hand. "The Lu family head is wealthy and generous; he probably doesn't care about these small sums of money."
As he spoke, Lü Ci even considered Lü Qian's situation with a kind heart, "By the way, that kid Lü Qian is cultivating in seclusion on Wudang Mountain and doesn't need this money, so just transfer it all to my account."
"Lu Hedgehog, you're supposed to be the head of the Lu family, how have you become so shameless?"
Lu Jin gritted his teeth and took out his phone, looking at the account Lu Ci had sent him, feeling that the other party's old face was getting thicker and thicker.
Lu Ci waved his hand dismissively at the somewhat astonished and disdainful gazes of the crowd and put his phone back in his pocket.
"Ah, I am no longer the head of the family. The Lü family is currently splitting up, so as the former head of the family, I naturally have no right to use the Lü family's property."
"Right now, I'm just a decrepit old man over a hundred years old, and I don't have much savings, so I have to be very careful with my money."
Lu Ci spoke nonsense with a straight face, but the news in his words shocked the old people, who exclaimed in surprise almost at the same time.
"The Lü family has split up?"
"Don't be so surprised. All good things must come to an end. The Qi-Lu Lü family is now so prosperous that it needs to split up to make some adjustments."
"If my descendants ever encounter difficulties in the future, I ask my brothers and sisters not to make things difficult for them. If you would be willing to help, that would be even better."
Lu Ci spoke as if he were a vendor haggling over prices in a market, and the Lu family, one of the four, was like vegetables and fruits sold by weight, without any prestige.
However, the elders of the same generation, who were caught off guard by this news, did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. Putting aside the Lu family's vast and extensive businesses both inside and outside the industry, the most important thing was the young Taoist standing next to Zhang Zhiwei.
Anyone with eyes can see that the most important part of the Lü family's wealth now is not their businesses and money, but this young Taoist priest who is destined to ascend to immortality, Lü Qian.
His existence not only elevated the Lü family's status above the other four families, but also added a layer of depth and mystery to the Lü family.
Such value cannot be measured by gold, silver, copper, or iron, nor could it be easily swallowed up by the original Lü family.
Lu Ci's decision to divide the family property at this time suggests that he has made plans for the future and is distributing the value of the Lu family. Whether one can get a share depends on "fate".
In an instant, all sorts of thoughts had already gone through countless cycles in the swift minds of these senior figures, and their eyes suddenly burst forth with brilliant light.
"Ahem, I just remembered that there's still a pot of rice on the stove at home. If we don't go back and eat it soon, it will burn."
"Yes, yes, I just remembered that the rice in the village hasn't been harvested yet. If we go back too late, the rice won't be harvested."
"Wait a minute, I just remembered... I... I left the door open. I need to go back and close it right away."
Lu Jin, Lü Ci, Wang Ai, Zhang Zhiwei, and Lü Qian, who were still in place, watched as the group of seniors hurried down the mountain, their clumsy and absurd excuses ringing in their ears.
For a moment, the scene was bustling and chaotic, like a noisy crowd in a vegetable market. On the way down the mountain, some of the elders even used their skills and agility, their figures rising and falling, disappearing from sight in an instant, with only a few shouts and curses coming from behind.
"Damn it, Hong Ping, you actually carried the [Fire Seed] with you, thinking you could use escape techniques to return directly to the Fire Virtue Sect."
"Wait, where's my [Swiftness Talisman]?"
"Thank you for your skillful hands... Ah, my talisman."
Lu Qian could see clearly that the force these seniors used against Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao last night was not as ruthless as the way they were attacking each other now.
Hong Ping, the leader of the Huode Sect, lit a fire on the plains and was about to throw the embers from his waist into the flames in order to use the [Fire Escape Technique] to quickly return to the Huode Sect, but the flames were extinguished by the spells cast by several old sorcerers.
The senior who had used the talisman earlier rummaged through his pockets again and again, but could not find his most treasured tool for traveling and his escape magic weapon—the Divine Speed Talisman. He turned around and saw a fellow member of the Jiyun Society holding his own Divine Speed Talisman with great pride.
The Jiyun Society has a long history. Similar to the Shuzi Sect, it is a group of wandering people in the world of supernatural beings who travel around, perform magic tricks, and research mechanical artifacts.
Although the Jiyun Society is not top-tier, it is still a large organization in the world of supernatural beings. Many of its members are proficient in several magic tricks, such as reversing the eight directions and fixing a millet grain with a thousand pounds, which are done with ease. The "Miraculous Empty Hands" is also a well-known magic trick.
However, before the old man from the Jiyun Society could use the talisman, a fire spell flew from afar, accurately hitting the talisman paper and burning the two talismans.
"Hongping, fuck your mother!"
