Chapter 654 So Many
Zhu Wenwu glanced indifferently at the other party: "Die, or get lost!"
The Grandmaster from the Zhou family stared at Zhu Wenwu in shock, raised a hand, pointed at him, and stammered word by word, "Are you crazy! Is your Zhu family declaring war on the Zhou family?"
"Are you worthy?" As soon as Zhu Wenwu finished speaking, he struck again.
This time, however, it was not a punch, but a direct grab at the other's neck.
After lifting the man up, Zhu Wenwu said word by word, "The Zhou family has so many Grandmasters, and I hear there are even peak Grandmasters. Can you, a mere Grandmaster, represent the Zhou family?"
"Who gave you the courage?"
"The First Family going to war with the Southwestern powers, can you bear the responsibility?"
The Grandmaster of the Zhou family felt as if his neck were about to be crushed by the other party, but no matter how much he circulated his internal energy, he could not break free.
Just as his vision was about to blur, his body suddenly loosened, and he fell directly to the ground.
Zhu Wenwu did not intend to kill him, but a small lesson was necessary.
He glanced at the Grandmaster on the ground and walked forward leisurely.
"Remember where you are now!"
"This is Nanlong, the Southwest that the Zhu family has guarded for generations!"
"We will not allow your Zhou family to run rampant here!"
Seeing Zhu Wenwu's figure disappear before his eyes, the Grandmaster of the Zhou family's eyes were filled with anger. Since he had reached the Grandmaster level, he had never suffered such humiliation today.
Zhu Wenwu arrived at Qin Yunzhu's tomb, his eyes devoid of tears, only filled with tenderness.
"Yun Zhu, I will be able to accompany you soon."
"Before that, I must protect our daughter well."
"Don't worry, I will do it."
Zhu Wenwu did not stay on Queyun Mountain for long.
Minutes later, all the martial artists in Nanlong felt a terrifying combat aura.
Chen Yang and Zhu Que instantly turned their gazes to the distance.
"Peak Grandmaster, and a very strong peak one!"
"Are there so many martial artists in the Southwest?"
Chen Yang truly felt somewhat strange. The power he had sensed at the Zhou family before was that of a very powerful peak Grandmaster.
Now, a battle between peak Grandmasters had erupted again. He wondered if it was the Zhou family member fighting with someone else.
That evening, Chen Yang and Zhu Que received an invitation from the Zhu family.
Although Chen Yang and Zhu Que had not revealed where they were staying, within Nanlong City, it would only take the Zhu family an hour or two if they wanted to find out.
Seeing that Zhu Que had been silent, Chen Yang asked softly, "Shall we go?"
Zhu Que was actually very conflicted. Although the Zhu family had sent an invitation, the messenger had said it was a family banquet today.
On one hand, they called it a family banquet, yet on the other hand, they treated her as a guest and sent her an invitation.
What was the Zhu family playing at?
"Let's go, perhaps the Zhu family has something to ask of us," Chen Yang's voice sounded softly from behind Zhu Que.
Seeing that Chen Yang had the intention to go, Zhu Que no longer hesitated, "Alright."
After changing their clothes, they rushed to the Zhu family with five minutes to spare.
At this moment, in the main hall of the Zhu family, all the direct and collateral descendants of the Zhu family had arrived.
"Old Master, who exactly are we waiting for? It's been so long!"
"Grandpa, I still have some business to attend to at the company. Can I go to the company first?"
"Yes, Father. Not only are the children busy, but we also have to catch a flight back tonight. There's a merger and acquisition case to handle tomorrow."
The people speaking were all direct descendants of the Zhu family, while some collateral relatives remained silent.
It was not that they could not speak, but they could not speak in this setting.
Upon hearing their words, Old Master Zhu immediately slapped the table.
"I told you all yesterday to finish your work!"
"Today, no matter who it is, no one leaves. Wait!"
Just then, the butler who had been waiting at the door hurried in.
The butler went to Old Master Zhu's side and bent down to whisper, "They are almost here."
Old Master Zhu's face lit up with joy, and he quickly stood up and said to the butler, "Tell the kitchen to prepare the dishes!"
The people around listened and generally knew that the person Old Master had been waiting for had finally arrived.
"Who do you think the Old Master is waiting for? To make him call everyone back in such a grand manner?"
"Who knows? Have you heard something? Eldest Brother is out! And he injured someone from the Zhou family. Perhaps the Old Master is afraid of retaliation from the Zhou family and is finding help. Otherwise, would there be such a fuss? Look at the third sister's family, they don't even come back for Chinese New Year."
Zhu Sha, Old Master Zhu's third daughter, rarely returned to her maiden home after marrying out, except for very important matters.
But this time, not only did she return alone, but she also brought her entire family.
It was obvious to everyone that it must have been arranged by the Old Master.
Jiang Luo, beside Zhu Sha, also stood up to follow as he saw his father-in-law excitedly get up and leave.
"Old Jiang, what are you doing?" Zhu Sha quickly pulled Jiang Luo back.
For the Zhu family, their couple were already outsiders.
If they followed before others had even stated their position, they would be targeted.
Jiang Luo said calmly, "I really want to see who it is that can make the Old Master so excited."
Jiang Luo was not the governor of Nanlong, but he was an extremely important figure in the entire Southwest Province.
He and Zhu Sha were not married into the family through arrangement, and precisely because of this, to avoid causing trouble for both sides, Zhu Sha rarely came home.
However, today, the Old Master had inexplicably summoned them and waited for so long...
Even the Governor of the Southwest did not have such treatment.
Not many people followed the Old Master out, except for them, the couple Jiang Luo and Zhu Sha, and a stranger wearing a mask.
"Huh? Who is that masked person? I've never seen them before?"
"They came from the collateral branches. How would I know? Why don't you ask them?"
"Forget it, what kind of people come from the collateral branches... They're just putting on an act."
On the way, the Old Master also encountered Zhu Wenyu, who was rushing from the bamboo forest.
Zhu Wenyu first nodded to the Old Master, then greeted Jiang Luo and Zhu Sha behind him.
However, when he saw the mysterious masked man, he showed a wry smile.
"Everyone can come, but you shouldn't!"
"Aren't you afraid he'll look for trouble with you?"
The face beneath the mask showed a wry smile upon hearing this, "Don't say that. I haven't done anything! Besides, if he's here, I always have to meet him."
"Both for public and private reasons, I must meet him."
Jiang Luo and Zhu Sha had originally thought that this masked man was a personal bodyguard arranged by the Old Master, especially since the curtain had been lifted with the Zhou family, and danger could arise at any moment.
