Chapter 129 The Past Events

As soon as the Old Master made this decision, the entire Zhou family began to revolt.

"Dad, if you give all the property to her, what are we going to do?"

"That's right, Dad, how are we supposed to live? Are you suggesting the Zhou family go out and work?"

"Work? There's no way I'm working. I'd rather starve to death than go out and work!"

"Grandpa, why don't you just put up with it? I can't live a day without a nanny and a driver..."

Hearing these grandchildren's coquettish resistance, Zhou Zhishan couldn't help but lament what a bunch of good-for-nothings he had raised.

Even tied together, they wouldn't be worth a toenail of Li Ziqing. It seemed he had really misjudged this time.

But he could also consider this a blessing in disguise, because if even one of his descendants had been capable, he might not have had a choice today, and would have been forced to commit suicide.

"Enough, all of you! This Zhou family is still under my control!"

Zhou Zhishan showed the aura of the head of the family, and Zhou Weiguo's group immediately shut their mouths, not daring to speak.

"Ziqing, allow us three days to sort things out. We'll complete the handover after three days!"

Zhou Zhishan said.

"Three days is too long. I'm busy and don't have time to waste with you. I'll give you only one day. Tomorrow at noon, I'll come looking for you."

As soon as Li Ziqing said this, Zhou Tai immediately retorted.

"Tomorrow at noon? That's not even a full day!"

"Since that's what you say, then how about eight in the morning?"

Li Ziqing's expression was cold, not giving them any room to bargain.

Zhou Tai was so scared that he quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, noon is fine..."

Just like that, the Zhou family left the birthday banquet scene like stray dogs.

If Zhou Zhishan had known that this calamity would befall him today, he would never have lavishly thrown this birthday banquet.

But then again, this had nothing to do with whether or not he held the banquet. Even if there hadn't been this banquet, Li Ziqing would still have come to seek revenge.

With the Zhou family gone, the guests also left one after another, after all, they had no relationship with Li Ziqing.

Although they really wanted to cozy up to Li Ziqing, they immediately dismissed the idea when they saw the celestial-like Chen Xiao beside Li Ziqing.

There would be plenty of opportunities in the future. Now that Li Ziqing had taken over the Zhou family's assets, Wei City would have another wealthy family, the Li family... no, it should be the Chen family!

As the crowd left, the birthday banquet hall, which had been brightly decorated and bustling with noise, suddenly became deserted.

Lu Datou finally had the chance to thank Chen Xiao.

"Young friend Chen Xiao, thank you so much today. You not only saved my life but also helped me avenge a great wrong. If you ever need my help in the future, just say the word, and I, Lu Datou, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, "Mr. Lu, you're too kind. It was just a small effort. Besides, even if it wasn't for you, I would have had to fight Master Luo today anyway. And you stood up for us today, so we're even."

Lu Datou smiled sheepishly, "Young friend Chen Xiao, please don't make fun of me. If I had known you possessed such heaven-defying abilities, I wouldn't have come out to make a fool of myself."

"Mr. Lu, you flatter me. I was just lucky. The kung fu I practice just happened to be effective against him."

Chen Xiao waved his hand, being humble.

Then he changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Lu, I wonder, who exactly is this Master Luo? His strength is so great, he must not be an unknown figure, right?"

Lu Datou nodded, "You're right. His name is Luo Gan, known in the martial world as Dari Rulai (Great Sun Tathagata). He was already ranked in the top four of the Heavenly Ranking more than forty years ago. At that time, I was just a mere ten-year-old, and the Northern Border Military God, Xiao Tianze, was just an inexperienced kid!"

Hearing this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel puzzled.

A master who was already ranked in the top four of the Heavenly Ranking forty years ago, why would he willingly hide his name and be an old servant in the Zhou family? And for more than twenty years!

Lu Datou saw Chen Xiao's confusion and said, "I think you must be curious about the feud between me and him. Luckily, there's wine and food here, let's eat and chat."

As he spoke, Lu Datou sat down at a dining table. The dishes were already cold, but enough to have with wine.

Lu Datou immediately poured himself a drink.

Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing exchanged a look and sat down as well.

Without any small talk, after a few cups of fine wine, Lu Datou opened up.

"I became Luo Gan's disciple when I was ten years old."

"By the time I was twenty-five, I had learned almost seventy or eighty percent of his skills, and I had broken through to the Transformation Realm. I was full of vigor and high spirits."

"But good times don't last long. When I was thirty years old, my family was destroyed, and the murderer was Luo Gan."

Speaking of this, Lu Datou took a big gulp of wine, his eyes reddening.

Li Ziqing couldn't help but ask, "Why would he do such a thing?"

Then, Lu Datou revealed the whole story.

It turned out that Luo Gan's reason for accepting Lu Datou as a disciple from the very beginning was for a specific purpose.

The Lu family was once a family of martial artists, but that was already hundreds of years ago.

Starting from Lu Datou's great-grandfather's generation, the Lu family's disciples' talents became worse and worse with each generation.

By the time of Lu Datou's father's generation, the strongest member of the family, the eldest uncle, spent half his life and was only an Inner Strength martial artist.

Although the Lu family's talents were withering, the Lu family's foundation was still there, and the family also hid an extremely precious cultivation manual. After cultivating it, one could break through to the highest realm of martial arts, the God Realm!

However, this matter was kept secret, and even Lu Datou didn't know about it. He only discovered this secret by chance after his family was destroyed.

And Luo Gan's purpose in approaching the Lu family from the beginning was that manual.

For this, he pretended to be good brothers with Lu Datou's father for twenty years, and even accepted Lu Datou as a disciple, not hesitating to pass on his life's knowledge to Lu Datou.

Until Lu Datou was thirty years old, the Lu family had long lost their guard against Luo Gan, and his father, after getting drunk again with his good brother Luo Gan, couldn't resist Luo Gan's temptation and took out the family's treasure.

It was only then that Luo Gan finally tore off his sheepskin and revealed his wolfish ambitions.

He not only snatched the manual but also killed all the members of the Lu family, except for Lu Datou, who was traveling abroad, not a single one escaped.

At that time, Lu Datou's strength was already not below Luo Gan's, so since then, Luo Gan had hidden his name and diligently practiced the Lu family's cultivation manual.

That's why today, he showed the strength of peeking into the God Realm, almost killing Lu Datou!

Hearing this, Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing couldn't help but sigh.

This was the case of possessing a treasure when you are not strong enough to protect it. The Lu family guarded that peerless secret manual, but no one in the family could cultivate it, so sooner or later it would bring disaster. Even if it wasn't Luo Gan, it would be Zhang Gan, Wang Gan...
