Chapter 804: Marriage Proposal

Translator: Panda_Penn  Editor: Chrissy

The dinner party was nothing special. Attendants included patriarchs of the Lu Family that had taken a neutral stance. Some Family Patriarchs of Lu Family’s affiliated forces came as well. For one thing, they were here to celebrate Lu Zhengyang’s recovery. For another, they came to set people’s minds at ease.

All the Family Patriarchs of families of the fifth rank and above located at Lu Family’s territory came to the banquet. Hundreds of people were seated in the hall. Lu Li and Jiang Qiling made love for an hour and didn’t show up until the banquet was officially started.

Of course, nobody minded Lu Li coming late. Instead, the attendants believed that it was within reason for Lu Li to be so and put one such airs. Since Lu Renhuang and Lu Ling hadn’t come yet, Lu Li was surrounded by many people as soon as he arrived. He heard people hurling all kinds of flattery praises at him and people were constantly toasting to him.

Not only was Lu Li the most important young master of the Lu Family, he was a powerful warrior. He was the backbone of the Lu Family. The three Earth Immortal Realm warriors behind Lu Li scared with wits out of the Noble Lord Realm warriors and Human Sovereign Realm warriors.

Lu Li remained casual. He wasn’t very enthusiastic but wasn’t exactly indifferent, either. When someone toasted to him, he would take a sip. When someone gave him a compliment, he would merely give a nod as an acknowledgement.

One round of toasting later, Lu Renhuang came with Lu Feixue and Lu Ling. Another chorus of noise spread across the hall. This time, Lu Renhuang was more restrained, unlike when he was the future Family Patriarch in the old days where he was rebellious and hard-edged. When someone came to toast to him, Lu Renhuang would drink off his wine and he would do so with a broad smile. He would also gave some comforting words every now and then.

More than half of powerful warriors of the Lu Family had now been put into the prison. They had not been sent to the Demon Island yet but their ending had already been decided. Lu Family was about to lose a large number of powerful warriors.

For the past few years, Lu Zhengtan was the Family Patriarch. It was already hard that some people would remain neutral. Therefore, for those people, Lu Renhuang had a good enough attitude to win people’s support.

Lu Ling and Lu Feixue were sitting quietly. Lu Ling was indifferent. When people came and toasted to her, she would only took a sip from her tea. She didn’t try to save face for anyone.

Once, she had more than 10 Human Sovereign Realm warriors as her underlings and she was the actual master of the Empire of Clouds Prowess. Needless to say, she would not be so enthusiastic. She was already doing Lu Renhuang a favor by showing up at the banquet tonight.

When everyone had filled and emptied their wine goblets for three times, someone proposed that Lu Li, Lu Ling and Lu Feixue should be added back into the pedigree of the family. Lu Li did not care much and he would not object if Lu Renhuang agreed. After all, in Lu Li’s body ran Lu Family’s blood and the present Lu Family was not the old Lu Family anymore.

“I think it is the right time for Lady Ling to get married, right?”

A patriarch from the Palace of Blue Lions looked at Lu Ling with a knowing smile and suggested, “Future Family Patriarch, it is time to arrange a marriage for Lady Ling. I venture to suggest an arranged marriage between Lady Ling and our future master. He is just 30 years old this year and he is also at the Human Sovereign Realm. I am sure that he is not as talented as Lady Ling. That being said, he has high moral quality. The Palace of Blue Lions will be glorified if Lady Ling could marry to our family…”

Before the patriarch of the Palace of Blue Lions could finish his words, Lu Li already looked displeased. A glint of coldness rose in Lu Ling’s eyes. But Lu Renhuang remained collected.

“Hmm!”

Lu Li groaned to cut off the patriarch from the Palace of Blue Lions. The patriarch looked at Lu Li and smiled in embarrassment but he didn’t have the courage to go on any more.

Lu Renhuang gave Lu Li a glance. Even though Lu Renhuang didn’t blame Lu Li, the latter didn’t feel like losing his temper any more.

Lu Feixue said nothing since she came in. On hearing the patriarch’s words, she became interested as well so she said, “Brother, it is the right age for Ling-er now. We need to find her a husband.”

Lu Li was 23. Lu Ling was four years older than Lu Li so she was 27. If she had been a young lady of another family, she would have been regarded as an old spinster. But Lu Ling was a special case. She had been busy governing the Northern Desert, Clouds Plains, Serenity Plains and the Deserted World. She had little time for romance.

What was more, at the Human Sovereign Realm, Lu Ling had a life span of thousands of years. The age of twenty something was nothing comparatively speaking. There was no sign of aging on her face. She was still as stunning as a maiden.

Of course!

What was more important was that what kind of young master would be good enough for Lu Ling even though the Great Land had a population of millions? Young masters from sixth or seventh rank families would not be worthy and Lu Li and Lu Ling were hated by most of the 12 Royal Families. It was unlikely for Lu Ling to go to the Great Buddhist Temple and pick a monk.

Apart from the Great Buddhist Temple, the only force that befriended Lu Li was the Tumulus of Universe. Ye Luo, the prince of the Tumulus of Universe, had always been adoring Lu Hongyu. Last year, he came to propose the marriage. Excluding Ye Luo, no other young master could deserve Lu Ling.

She was not only at the Human Sovereign Realm but also of a fire phoenix birth. She had an incredible skill of Sky Tearing Phoenix, the one that could send people across the void. The fire phoenix flames she had could burn Earth Immortal Realm warriors. No Human Sovereign Realm warrior could defeat her. In a chance of sneak attack, it wouldn’t even be difficult for her to kill Earth Immortal Realm warriors.

One thing about her that was more awe-inspiring was her wisdom and strategies. In addition, her looks and temperament were one of the best. Lu Li thought about it and discovered that nobody of the Great Land could be worthy of her.

Since they were kids, Lu Li and Lu Ling had stuck together and helped each other. They were each other’s worlds. Lu Li was so attached to Lu Ling that a sudden suggestion of her marriage was too much for him. He felt someone was robbing him of something that should be exclusive to him.

That was why he groaned just now to cut off the patriarch of the Palace of Blue Lion. Lu Li believed the patriarch was talking idiotic nonsense to think that a master of a seventh rank force could marry Lu Ling.

Lu Renhuang took a look of Lu Ling. “Years ago, when my father wanted to arrange a marriage for me, I was upset and I ended up running away from home in a fit of anger. That led to my father being poisoned and indirectly resulted in this disaster of the Lu Family… Therefore, I will not meddle in Li-er and Ling-er’s marriages. If you have any young masters or young ladies that think they are amazing, they can go and pursue Lu Ling themselves. Ha, ha, ha!” Lu Renhuang said with a gentle smile.

Both Lu Li and Lu Ling were relieved to hear Lu Renhuang saying so. If Lu Renhuang really pointed a marriage for Lu Ling, then neither Lu Li nor Lu Renhuang could say for sure what they would do. Lucky for them, Lu Renhuang was not doltish.

Some young masters of several major families were itchy to try and they began to look at Lu Ling with ardent eyes. Her looks alone were stunning, not to mention her abilities and her powers. Even a loss of one thousand years in life would be worthwhile to marry such an amazing beauty.

That was particularly true for the young master of the Palace of Blue Lions. He had reached the Human Sovereign Realm and he was handsome. He was born in a big family, which gave him a sense of extraordinary character. He was convinced that of the entire eastern Central Plains, he was the only one that could deserve Lu Ling. From that moment on, he became high-spirited and vigorous.

“Future Family Patriarch!”

A patriarch of the Lu Family External Clan suddenly stood up and glanced to Lu Feixue. Bowing to Lu Renhuang, he said, “I have a son that is some kind of a romantic. He has always been admiring Lady Feixue. Of all those years, Lady Feixue has been unmarried. She should know my son. For the sake of my son, allow me to suggest to arrange marriage between my son and Lady Feixue, Future Family Patriarch…”

“…”

Lu Li rolled his eyes speechlessly. Had those old guys lost their minds? Were they treating Lu Ling and Lu Feixue as merchandizes? Now, after the battle, did they think that it was the time for them to divide the loot? Were they doing this to Lu Family ladies?

“Oh?”

But Lu Renhuang was intrigued. He had heard about what happened to Lu Feixue. He felt sorry for his sister’s miserable life. Now that all from her ex-husband’s family had been taken down, to marry her well might console her wounded heart.

“Feixue, what do you think?”

Lu Renhuang decided to sound out her intention first. If it was possible, he might make a match. However, Lu Feixue’s expressions changed instantly. She bite her lips but didn’t say anything.

“Young Master!”

Ming Yu, who was sitting behind Lu Li, suddenly stood up with blushed face. Lu Li was surprised. He looked back at Ming Yu and asked, “Ming Yu, yes?”

Ming Yu threw Lu Feixue a glance. All of a sudden, he dropped to one knee and said, “Young Master, we are perfect for each other and we have fallen in love. Please allow for us to be married.”

“What?”

Lu Li and Lu Ling looked at each other, completely at a loss…
