1399 The Background of the Wei Family
The Lu family didn’t dare to offend an inscription master easily, but they couldn’t afford to offend the Wei family either.
So, the Lu family chose the Wei family without hesitation.
“Accident?”
Wei Jinfeng said in a neutral tone, “Patriarch Lu, are you going to give me such a weak explanation?”
“Then what do you want, Young Master Wei?”
Even though Lu Gang didn’t dare to fall out with Wei Jinfeng, he wasn’t willing to be trampled on by a junior either.
Wei Jinfeng seemed to understand that things would always go the other way when they reached an extreme. He suppressed the anger in his heart and made his expression soften a bit.
“When I came to Zhuang Prefectural City this time, my father asked me to auction two of the mid-level Yellow-rank spirit artifacts back.”
Wei Jinfeng said as he glanced at the members of the Lu family present one by one. “I wonder if Patriarch Lu and Seniors here can solve this problem for me? As long as everyone here helps me solve this problem today, I’ll definitely not forget the credit of the Lu family when I return to the Imperial City.”
The members of the Lu family looked at each other when they heard that.
In the end, the clan leader nodded slightly at Lu Gang, indicating that he could agree to Wei Jinfeng’s request.
Lu Gang frowned for a while, as if he was in deep thought. “The four mid-level Yellow-rank spiritual weapons at the auction are in the hands of the Weapon Refinement Guild and the Alchemist Guild respectively. Neither of these two guilds lacks Spirit Stones. It’s obviously impossible to buy them from these two guilds at a high price.”
“Then we can only start with that inscription master.” The leader of the Lu family said.
“That’s right.”
Lu Gang nodded and turned to Wei Jinfeng. “Young Master Wei, we’ll try to start with that inscription master, but the Lu family can’t guarantee that we’ll succeed in the end.”
Afraid that his plans would backfire in the end, Lu Gang didn’t make any guarantees.
Wei Jinfeng seemed a bit dissatisfied, but he also knew that this was already the Lu family’s greatest concession.
“Alright, I’ll leave everything to you, Patriarch Lu.” Wei Jinfeng stood up and cupped his fists solemnly at Lu Gang.
Wei Jinfeng’s actions finally made the members of the Lu family feel a bit better.
…
In the Liang family’s courtyard.
“Senior Lu, Senior Mu, should we go out and hide for a while?” Liang Yingjun couldn’t help asking.
Lu Zijia picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. She asked back, “Why do you want to go out and hide for a while?”
Even though her current cultivation level was indeed a lot lower compared to her previous life, she didn’t have to be a scaredy cat because of something, right?
“Senior Lu, the Young Master Wei at the auction before is very likely Lu Lingling’s fiancé.”
Liang Yingyue was afraid that Lu Zijia didn’t know Wei Jinfeng’s identity, so she explained to her carefully, “Lu Lingling’s fiancé is called Wei Jinfeng. He’s the bastard son of the Wei family in the imperial city and is ranked third. The current leader of the Wei family was the high-ranking prime minister of Delin Country. And because the emperor has been in poor health for the past two years, Prime Minister Wei can be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand in the Imperial Court.”
Hearing that, Lu Zijia’s expression still didn’t change. She only nodded slightly and said, “Oh.”
Seeing her calm reaction, the Liang siblings couldn’t help looking at each other. Did they not explain clearly, or did Senior Lu not understand?
“It’s fine. We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. Let’s wait for them to come.” Lu Zijia said disapprovingly.
Lu Zijia certainly knew about the Wei family in the Imperial City, but she had never interacted with them before.
Of course, since she dared to say that, she wasn’t afraid that the Wei family in the Imperial City would come looking for her.
The cultivation world emphasized that the strong ruled. As long as one was strong enough, it was definitely possible for them to surpass the Prime Minister and the imperial power.
