“If the Lu Family were to gradually decline because of this, even being squeezed out of the Inner City of Qingshi City, it would indeed be somewhat regrettable.”
As Young Master Luo of the Luo Family, the successor to the next Family Head, stood next to Yan Yin, Young Family Head of the Yan Family, he heard these words and couldn’t help but slightly squint his eyes. His heart, which had relaxed somewhat, now tightened once again, “So, does the Lu Family actually hold a special significance for the Luo Family?”
Yan Yin, standing next to Luo Yao, the successor to the next Family Head of the Luo Family, asked in a low voice.
Even when Yan Yin posed this question, his breathing rate and heart rate both sped up considerably.
“A special significance?”
On the city wall of the outer part of Qingshi City, as Luo Yao, the designated successor to the next Family Head of the Luo Family, heard these words, he could hardly restrain himself and burst out laughing.
“What special significance could there be?”
“I was merely speaking offhand.”

“This world operates on the law of ‘survival of the fittest,’ where the strong prey on the weak.”
“The powerful rise, and the weak fall, that is the eternal iron law of this world.”
“And those forces that possess plenty of resources yet lack the strength to match, their weakening or even downfall is all perfectly natural.”
“The Lu Family, known as one of the top ten paramount family forces within the Inner City of Qingshi City, is like this, and so are other forces.”
After Luo Yao, the designated successor of the Luo Family, had finished speaking,
Clearly, Yan Yin, who was standing next to Luo Yao, finally heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
It turned out that things were not as severe as he had thought.
It seemed… those matters were indeed just his overthinking.
“Hey, look at those people, they are quite fascinating…”
On the city wall of the outer part of Qingshi City,
While Yan Yin was still silently contemplating, Luo Yao, the Young Master of the Qingshi City Luo Family next to him, suddenly pointed at a person below the city wall and laughingly said,
Yan Yin looked and saw what had been a calm procession below, now gradually becoming somewhat chaotic.
“What’s happening with those people below?”
Yan Yin couldn’t help but mutter softly.
Just now, he had focused all his thoughts on Luo Yao and the matters concerning the Luo Family, so he had not paid much attention to the chaos below at the city this time.
Luo Yao couldn’t help but grin, then he shrugged and said somewhat nonchalantly, “It’s probably because that old man, dressed in a luxurious purple robe, was boasting about how noble his identity is and how significant his connections are in Qingshi City. He even went as far as to claim some relation to me, Luo Yao, and our Luo Family.”
“What do you make of that?”
Just as Yan Yin was about to speak, a member of the Lu Family, dressed in a simple black outfit, quickly ran up to the city wall of the outer city.
Upon arriving in front of Luo Yao, this member of the Lu Family slightly lowered his head with a somewhat restrained expression and asked in a low voice, “Young Master, those people below…”
Concerning the Qingshi City Luo Family, and even the designated successor Luo Yao, it was no wonder that the Lu Family side was being cautious.
After all, the situation of the Lu Family was like being one step away from the cliff’s edge, nearly beyond redemption.
Under such circumstances, how could the Lu Family side afford not to be cautious, and how dare they be otherwise?
“Those people below?”
Luo Yao, the designated successor of the Luo Family, silently glanced at the member of the Lu Family standing next to him.
After contemplating for a moment, he suddenly waved his hand.
After Luo Yao waved, a Shadow Guard dressed in black, exuding a faint cold aura, suddenly appeared beside him.
As the designated successor of the Luo Family, Luo Yao’s security arrangements were naturally well-managed.
Even the Shadow Guards were not few in number by Luo Yao’s side.
“Do I know that old guy?”
Luo Yao pointed to the person under the city wall dressed in splendid attire, appearing very old but still retaining a vigorous spirit and haughtily asked in a low voice.
Next to him was a Shadow Guard clad in black, exuding a cold chill, who replied while keeping his head down, “The man is named Sheng Wan and seems to have had some business dealings with the family.”
Luo Yao looked at the Shadow Guard beside him with surprise.
His eyes constantly flickered with various expressions.
He was truly not expecting such an answer from the Shadow Guard.
He hadn’t thought that the old man below might actually have some direct connections with his Luo Family.
“How significant are the transactions?”
After pausing for a moment, Luo Yao asked coldly and sternly.
The Shadow Guard in black pondered for a moment then replied, “From that old man, the family can garner about thirty thousand Silver Taels annually.”
Luo Yao: “…”
Damn, Luo Yao was really shocked.
When the Shadow Guard by his side mentioned that the old man indeed had some business dealings with his Luo Family, Luo Yao was genuinely stunned.
At that time, he kept pondering, how extensive could these business dealings be?
Was there any trade involving Spirit Stones?
But now, the Shadow Guard explained it was only a profit of thirty thousand Silver Taels…
No worries then, that wasn’t an issue.
Since the development of the Luo Family in Qingshi City had reached this level, Gold and Silver really didn’t hold much significance for them anymore.
If the Qingshi City Luo Family so desired, not to mention a mere thirty thousand Silver Taels, even three hundred thousand, three million, thirty million, or even three hundred million Silver Taels, the Luo Family could easily obtain it.
Besides, as long as it didn’t involve transactions with Spirit Stones, it wouldn’t be considered a real deal for the Qingshi City Luo Family.
“That man, deal with however you please.”
After saying this, Luo Yao silently waved his hand toward the Shadow Guard beside him.
As for that Lu Family person.
Upon receiving Luo Yao’s answer, he quickly disappeared from the top of the city wall outside Qingshi City and swiftly vanished from the view of Luo Yao, the heir to the position of Family Head.
The ensuing outcome was quite predictable.
The old man causing such a fuss, especially in front of these honest queue people, if this matter wasn’t handled seriously, endless problems would inevitably arise.
Therefore, since Luo Yao, the heir to the Luo Family Head position, had spoken thus.
It was natural for the Lu Family side to once again make an example of this man, directly having another round of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
Although the tactic was old, it was extremely effective.
And as the life of that old man ended and his head slowly fell to the ground, the commotion outside the outer city of Qingshi City finally quieted down somewhat.
“So, even after nearly building five imperial views in the outer city of Qingshi City, it still isn’t enough to completely deter those harboring ill intentions?”
Atop the city wall of the outer city of Qingshi City.
The heir to the position of Family Head of the Luo Family from Qingshi City thought this way and then couldn’t help but silently shake his head and sigh.
Under the imminent threats of war and various dangers, those former authorities had, in an attempt to enter the city quickly, stepped forward.
This, it seemed, was not something completely incomprehensible anymore.
