"Zhan'er, stop licking!"
Upon hearing that his son had actually stuck out his tongue like a dog, Lu Changkong felt as if his heart was set ablaze!
With that lick, where would the Lu Family's face remain, far more painful than killing him!
"If I don't lick, I'm going to die!"
Lu Zhan glared angrily, fully aware of what Lu Changkong cared about, but to him, the dignity of the Lu Family was not worth mentioning in comparison to his life!
They signed a Life-and-Death Agreement, if Lu Chen really killed him, no one from the Lu Family in Yuzhou City could seek revenge for him!
And even if revenge was taken, so what?
He would still be a dead man!
It must be said that under these circumstances, Lu Zhan completely retained his rationality.
"You won't die, you can't die, I have a way! Don't lick!"
Lu Changkong spoke urgently, then turned to look at Lu Changming!
"Bring his maid here, quick, that Qin Yaotiao!"
The name Qin Yaotiao, like a sharp sword, pierced straight into Lu Chen's heart!
Qin Yaotiao was missing, could it be that she had been captured by the Lu Family?
Lu Chen's eyes turned blood red instantly, and he roared, "Bring Yaotiao here, or I will kill Lu Zhan right now!"
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, let's do an exchange, one for one, with everyone below as witnesses!"
Lu Changkong put the dignity of the Lu Family first; capturing Qin Yaotiao was merely opportunistic, but it turned into their means of saving face.
"Good," Lu Chen, with extremely bloodshot eyes, said, "If Yaotiao is missing even a single strand of hair, I will make your Lu Family pay the price!"
At this moment, the murderous aura on Lu Chen became apparent, scaring Lu Zhan who had been held at the point of a burning stick to the neck into shaking legs incessantly.
"Lu...Lu Chen, be careful, don't...kill me by accident!"
Such pleading words were in stark contrast to his earlier arrogance.
Lu Chen didn't even spare him a glance, for a Lu Zhan with a sword was no match for him, let alone without one.
Just a toothless dog, that's all!
Lu Chen's words caused Lu Changkong to stiffen up, and in his heart he prayed, hoping that Lu Changming had heard Lu Chen's words and would be fully prepared.
The situation with Qin Yaotiao was unclear to him, but since Xu Yueru had asked for her, it definitely wouldn't be good.
The Lu Family estate was built against a mountain, not too far from the center of Yuzhou City.
Under Lu Changming's frantic dash, it didn't take long before he had rushed back to the Lu Family.
The death of Lu Zhan would actually be beneficial to him.
However, if this matter could not be handled, Lu Changkong would definitely vent his anger on him.
With no other choice, he was forced to tether himself to Lu Changkong.
"Xu Yueru, Qin Yaotiao is with you, right?"
Lu Changming asked Xu Yueru straightforwardly when he found her.
"Oh, Elder Changming, are you implying that I'm too old, so as soon as Lu Chen died, you couldn't wait to come here and taste his maid?"
Xu Yueru spoke with seductive charm, even rubbing her chest against Lu Changming.
"I have no time for your nonsense," Lu Changming pushed Xu Yueru away and said, "Lu Chen isn't dead, and he specifically asked for Qin Yaotiao!"
"What did you say?"
Xu Yueru's lascivious expression froze instantly, her lips slightly parted, full of disbelief.
"Lu Chen isn't dead," Lu Changming replied coldly as he stepped into her courtyard, saying, "Moreover, he broke Lu Zhan's wrist and is threatening our lives in exchange for Qin Yaotiao!"
"How could this be..."
Xu Yueru swayed, but saw that Lu Changming had already walked inside. She bit her lip and hurriedly followed, saying directly, "Qin Yaotiao's situation is a bit complicated; we need to make some preparations first!"
Lu Changming frowned and said, "The relationship between Lu Chen and Qin Yaotiao is well-known to everyone. If anything happens to Qin Yaotiao, Lu Zhan is sure to die! If the family head becomes enraged, I'm afraid neither of us will avoid trouble!"
"Leave it to me!"
Xu Yueru forced herself to remain calm and then went into the house.
...
An hour later, the duel platform.
Lu Zhan had been lying there for half an hour, and Lu Chen's burning stick had been held aloft for the same amount of time.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Changming arrived at the foot of the duel platform in a horse-drawn carriage.
"Lu Chen," jumping down from the carriage, Lu Changming opened the curtain and said, "Qin Yaotiao is on the carriage; take a look."
Sure enough, Qin Yaotiao was dressed in a red wedding gown with a bridal veil on her head, seemingly dressed as a bride.
What does the Lu Family mean by this?
He had long regarded Qin Yaotiao as his own woman, it was just not the right time these past few days.
Yet, seeing this now, he was taken aback for a moment.
"Lu Chen," Lu Changkong bellowed softly, "Qin Yaotiao has been your childhood sweetheart, which our Lu Family is well aware of. Therefore, today we are willing to betroth Qin Yaotiao to you, also giving the people of Yuzhou City the opportunity to witness your joyous occasion! On this day of great happiness, surely you don't want to spill blood, right?"
This was their plan all along!
Lu Chen was somewhat disdainful, yet unavoidably moved.
"Yaotiao, come up here first."
Lu Chen called softly, watching as Qin Yaotiao slowly stepped down from the carriage. He recognized her, and even used his Pupil Skill specifically. That posture, that figure, was undoubtedly Qin Yaotiao!
Just as Qin Yaotiao was about to ascend the steps, Lu Changkong's figure flashed, placing Qin Yaotiao behind him!
"Lu Chen, now you can release Lu Zhan, right?"
Under the Pupil Skill, Lu Chen caught a fleeting glimpse of cunning in Lu Changkong's eyes!
Was there trickery here?
Could she not be Yaotiao?
Thinking this, Lu Chen's heart stirred, and he unleashed the third technique of his spear skills on Qin Yaotiao!
Spear Strikes Like a Dragon!
