Chapter 464 - 464 The Zhu Family's Pride

464 The Zhu Family’s Pride

Chu Yan’s beautiful eyes were shining with joy. However, the next second, the light in her eyes began to dim. Chu Yan’s red lips opened slightly, and she slowly spat out a few words.

Lu Benwei understood these words. He was stunned for a moment before he clenched his fist and tried to move forward.

Suddenly, Qin Lianqing reached out and grabbed Lu Benwei’s wrist.

“You don’t want to,” Qin Lianqing shook her head and said softly.

At the end of the Zhu family’s group, there were two men and a woman. Each of them had sharp eyes and an imposing appearance, exuding the aura of an expert from within.

Lu Benwei activated the Eye of Insight and the information about the three people appeared in his mind.

[Name: Zhu Haixiao]

[Level: 86]

[Class:…]

…

[Name: Zhu Haixiong]

[Level: 89]

…

[Name: Zhu Haixian]

[Level: 91]

[Class:…]

Lu Benwei was stunned when he saw the woman’s level. In his heart, he was secretly glad that he did not make a move just now.

A level-90 king could create clouds and rain with a flip of his hand. In the blink of an eye, he could destroy mountains and break seas!

“The eight great families indeed have a strong foundation! There are so many experts in the family!”

At this time, Zhu Haixian, who was in the Zhu family’s team, suddenly turned around and locked her eyes on Lu Benwei.

In an instant, everyone behind him was stunned. An inexplicable chill caused goosebumps to appear all over their bodies.

“Whoosh!”

Zhu Haixian appeared in front of Lu Benwei.

Everyone was stunned at this moment, not understanding what this king tier of the Zhu family was up to.

“Did you just use an inspection skill to check me out?” Zhu Haixian said coldly.

“Yes, I did!” Lu Benwei knew that he could not hide it, so he confessed.

At this moment, the Qin family’s people’s faces turned green as they complained in their hearts.

The middle-aged man with a hooked nose, Qin Lianqing’s father, who was also the head of the Qin family, quickly stood up and drew a line with Lu Benwei.

“General Haixian, this kid is my daughter’s boyfriend…”

“So, he’s your son-in-law?” Zhu Haixian’s eyes were cold.

“This…” the Qin family head was speechless.

“What’s wrong, Aunt?”

The boy, whose skin was as pale as paper and who seemed a little cynical, walked over.

Lu Benwei’s eyes turned cold. He thought to himself, “Is this the Zhu family’s pride?”

The gazes of everyone in the hall were also focused on the situation over here. The Wang family was the same.

Seeing Lu Benwei, everyone frowned and felt that this person was a bit familiar.

If Wang Qiaochu was here, he would tell the Wang family, “This person is Lu Benwei who’s with Chu Yan every day!”

Fortunately, Wang Qiaochu was not in the banquet hall, so he did not know what was going on.

“This brat is very disrespectful, he used an inspection skill on me,” Zhu Haixian said.

At this moment, the Qin family’s faces turned green.

The Qin family head’s voice was trembling. “General Haixian, this person is…”

“Does that mean that the son-in-law of the Qin family is not a member of the Qin family?” Zhu Haixian interrupted coldly.

“Hmph!” Qin Lianqing snorted coldly. “You’re a general. You won’t even let such a small matter go?”

“Lianqing!” Qin Lianqing’s mother hurriedly shouted.

“Mom, did I say something wrong?” Qin Lianqing was very brave. She criticized Zhu Haixian in front of everyone.

“Moreover, what did Lu Mou do wrong in this matter? Is it against the law to openly use an inspection skill on someone? Do you want to pay with your life?”

Everyone’s expression changed. Using an insight skill to spy on another person was indeed nothing. Curiosity was something that everyone had. Moreover, there were many people in the crowd who had used their inspection skills.

If they continued to pursue this matter, they would be found out sooner or later. Therefore, no one stood up to blame Lu Benwei.

Seeing Qin Lianqing facing Zhu Haixian, Lu Benwei did not hesitate to pull the entire Qin family to help him out.

“General Haixian, I was insensible and offended you,” he said with a cupped fist, “Please forgive me.”

The frivolous boy at the side said, “Aunt, let it go. Today is Grandfather’s birthday. Blood will be the last thing we want to see. Besides, I saw a lot of people acting like this brother just now. Is Aunt going to settle scores with them one by one?”

Zhu Haixian glanced at Lu Benwei coldly and said, “If you dare to be disrespectful to the Zhu family again, I’ll gouge your eyes out!”

The storm was finally over.

After Lu Benwei sat down, he asked Qin Lianqing, “Who was that boy just now?”

Qin Lianqing rolled his eyes and said sullenly, “I just took such a big risk, and the first thing you did after sitting down was not to thank me?”

“Thank you,” Lu Benwei said dryly, then asked, “Can you tell me now?”

“A dog’s mouth can’t spit out ivory.” Qin Lianqing rolled her eyes.

“Don’t worry, the Zhu family’s young master didn’t come today.”

“He didn’t come?”

“He’s still in closed-door cultivation! It’s said that the karma and opportunities he obtained are too huge. He needs to go into seclusion to digest them.”

Lu Benwei nodded. Just from the name, one could tell how extraordinary this secret realm was. Moreover, only the disciples of the eight great families were allowed to enter. Every bit of karma and opportunity that one could obtain from it was extremely precious and worth studying.

“Then, who’s that boy?” Lu Benwei asked again.

“He’s the younger brother of the Zhu family,” Qin Lianqing said impatiently.

Lu Benwei understood and no longer spoke.

Suddenly, a discordant voice came and pointed at Lu Benwei.

“Lianqing, who’s your boyfriend? Why hasn’t he given us an explanation?” The man who spoke was the fourth master of the Qin family, Qin Lianqing’s uncle.

“What kind of explanation do you want?” Of course, Qin Lianqing knew that her uncle was still brooding over what had just happened.

“Your pretty boy offended the Zhu family just now. Shouldn’t you give us an explanation?” Qin Lianqing’s uncle was flustered and exasperated.

“Didn’t the Zhu family not pursue the matter? Why are you guys still so hung up on this?”

Qin Lianqing glanced at every member of the Qin family. They either glared at Lu Benwei angrily or looked at him contemptuously.

So she sneered in her heart and said, “As expected, even a fart from the eight great families will smell good to you. The Zhu family has already stopped pursuing Lu Mou. What else do you want?”

Qin Lianqing’s mother frowned and tried to persuade her. “Daughter, it’s true that the Zhu family won’t pursue this matter, but this matter is like a nail that has been stabbed into their hearts. In the future, if our family needs the Zhu family’s help, we’ll have to pay a huge price!”

“Then what do you guys want to do?” Qin Lianqing sneered.

“After the banquet, get your pretty boy to kowtow to the Zhu family and apologize for his offense!” Qin Lianqing’s uncle said, “And clarify that his actions have nothing to do with the Qin family! Apologize to the Zhu family first, then apologize to us!”
