Chapter 968: Chapter 962: The Decision of the Liu Family Patriarch

At this moment in the hall of the Liu Family, all the Liu Family members had a hint of fear and anxiety on their faces. Although they had always looked down on the Wang Family, a family that rose to power halfway through, in their hearts, they had to admit that the Wang Family’s strength was indeed formidable. It wouldn’t be an easy or simple task for the Liu Family to wipe out the Wang Family.

However, the Wang Family, which they considered quite powerful, was exterminated in a brief period, leaving no survivors.

What kind of power is this? If the other party gets a few more people, it would be easy to wipe out our Liu Family too.

All the Liu Family members fixated their gaze on the old master, Liu Yaoyang, sitting on the Taishi Chair at the front, hoping he would say something to reassure them.

But the old master, Liu Yaoyang, did not speak, instead, he closed his eyes, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrest of the Taishi Chair. The crisp sounds echoed through the room.

Liu Jingshan sat beside Liu Yaoyang with the same tense expression as the other family members. Lu Tianxing wiping out the Wang Family wasn’t good news for the Liu Family. Although the Yanhuang Group had blocked all information regarding the Wang Family, they received news that the entire Wang Family had been annihilated, men and women, young and old, spared none. It was clear, when Lu Tianxing made a move, there were no survivors. If he came to the Liu Family, they would be in deep trouble, even if not destroyed.

Alongside the fear, Liu Jingshan also felt a sense of relief. He was glad he didn’t seek revenge against Lu Tianxing after the humiliation at Yunwu Private Restaurant. Otherwise, the Liu Family might have been in grave danger.

After an unknown period, Liu Yaoyang’s fingers stopped, and he slowly opened his eyes, glancing around to take in all the gazes fixed on him. He sighed inwardly, wondering why the Liu Family did not have someone like Lu Tianxing. If only Lu Tianxing were part of the Liu Family, they would not face catastrophe even after his hundred years, and no one would dare provoke them because Lu Tianxing, a madman without fear, could intimidate anyone with ill intentions. After all, no one would want to risk the interests of a family to offend a fearless madman.

This was evident from the way Lu Tianxing dealt with the Wang Family and the Liu Family in the past; you hit me once, I hit you ten times; you trouble me, I beat you to death.

But unfortunately, Lu Tianxing does not belong to the Liu Family; he might even be an enemy.

Sighing again, Liu Yaoyang collected his thoughts and slowly spoke, "What’s wrong? Are you all afraid? Afraid Lu Tianxing will come to eradicate you? We, the dignified Liu Family, one of Beijing’s established families, are we just going to be scared by one person? Weren’t you all quite impressive before? Now you’re afraid?"

Silence fell around, and no one spoke.

"Since no one is speaking, what are you doing here? Go do what you should. Remember my words: our Liu Family is not afraid of Lu Tianxing, but don’t provoke him either. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude to you."

Liu Yaoyang waved his hand, issuing an eviction order to everyone.

Upon hearing Liu Yaoyang’s words, everyone paused, then nodded, turning to leave.

"Wait, Jingshan, you stay. The others go out first."

Just about to stand up and leave, Liu Jingshan froze slightly, not understanding why his father was keeping him, but he sat back down nonetheless.

After everyone left, Liu Yaoyang looked at Liu Jingshan and asked, "Jingshan, what do you think of this matter?"

"Vicious and ruthless, leaving no room for mercy. Such a person either doesn’t act or strikes with thunderous force, leaving no trace behind. If he is an enemy, the best way is to kill him once, or else he’ll be a menace forever." Liu Jingshan paused, then said solemnly.

"You hold him in high regard." Liu Yaoyang said as he looked at Liu Jingshan.

Liu Jingshan shook his head and said, "It’s not that I hold him in high regard, but Lu Tianxing is just such a person. The Wang Family brought this upon themselves by challenging a dragon’s reverse scale, and they deserved their fate. But I’m curious, when the Wang Family rose, they had middle-stage mythical experts clearing some forces for them. Why didn’t they appear this time?"

"What do you mean by didn’t appear?"

"Our intelligence revealed that when Lu Tianxing stormed the Wang Family today, only the five known enshrined experts of the Wang Family showed up. We thought the Wang Family deliberately placed them for show and hid their true experts, but even after the Wang Family was annihilated tonight, those experts never appeared. This defies logic."

"Jingshan, do you mean...?" Liu Yaoyang, having weathered many storms, had already deduced Liu Jingshan’s implication though he hadn’t spelled it out.

"Father, you seem to understand."

Liu Jingshan took a deep breath and said, "If my guess is correct, these experts don’t belong to the Wang Family. The Wang Family likely reached an agreement with some power that helped them become an established family in Beijing, possibly the Wealth Mansion is the force behind this. Otherwise, we can’t explain why the higher-ups silently approved Lu Tianxing’s actions, and the Yanhuang Group remained indifferent. It’s likely Sima Lingyun wanted to use Lu Tianxing as a tool to investigate the forces behind the Wang Family."

"Jingshan, you’re probably right, that’s likely the case. It seems Beijing is about to face turbulent times again. How many established families will survive this?"

Liu Yaoyang took a deep breath, stood up from the Taishi Chair, and silently walked to the window, looking at the brightly lit Liu Family courtyard as a gleam flashed in his turbid eyes. "Jingshan, prepare a generous gift for me and send it to Purple Bamboo Villa tomorrow. Tell Lu Tianxing it’s an apology from our Liu Family for my grandson Liu Feng, and we have no intention of being his enemy."

"Dad, you...."

Liu Jingshan trembled upon hearing this, a trace of disbelief crossing his face. The Liu Family sending gifts to Lu Tianxing, doesn’t this mean they’re yielding?

"No reason why, just remember, the attitude must be correct, or don’t blame me for any trouble, also tell Feng’er to stay obediently at home for now, not to go anywhere or mingle with his disreputable friends. Once he’s recovered, I’ll send him to study abroad." noveldrama

After speaking, Liu Yaoyang turned and walked out.

Liu Jingshan stood there, slightly stunned, and finally sighed and followed behind Liu Yaoyang. He wasn’t foolish, clearly aware of Beijing’s current situation. The city was like the calm before a storm, seemingly serene but with undercurrents raging beneath.

From the higher-ups’ tacit approval of Lu Tianxing’s extermination of the Wang Family, Liu Jingshan knew there was an invisible hand orchestrating everything, with significant schemes afoot, and the Wang Family was merely a pawn laid down by that hand. The Yanhuang Group intended to sever this hand, likely involving multiple forces in the process.

The Liu Family’s chances of remaining unscathed were slim; therefore, the best strategy was to have one more friend and one less enemy. And Lu Tianxing was a tool of the Yanhuang Group; the Liu Family’s best approach was to befriend Lu Tianxing, not oppose him.
