Long Chen and Luo Zichuan descended the mountain. Everyone in the Luo family had already lined up to welcome them. When they saw Luo Zichuan, all the Luo family's strong warriors revered him like a deity—a respect that came from the depths of their souls.
The meal had just been prepared, steaming hot, with various delicacies competing in beauty. Luo Zichuan sat at the head of the table, while Long Chen was pulled to the left by Luo Zichuan. Only then did the Luo family's strong figures slowly enter and take their seats one by one.
On Luo Zichuan's left was Long Chen, on his right was Luo Changwu, and the rest were all key members of the Luo family, including the Grand Elder.
Qin Feng, Bai Xiaole, Xu Zixiong, Luo Bing, Luo Ning, Luo Xue, and the other young people at the table were also the only ones at the entire banquet filled entirely with young people.
However, after all the Luo family experts arrived, they stood straight by the table, no one dared to sit down, let alone touch the bowls and chopsticks.
Luo Zichuan smiled slightly and said, "With guests here today, this is no ordinary family gathering. There's no need to be so formal. Please have a seat!" After
Luo Zichuan said this, everyone took their seats. Bai Xiaole secretly curled his lips at Luo Ning and the others, implying that the Luo family had many rules, even having a meal so seriously.
"Although my Luo family lives in a remote corner, our products are still abundant. These ingredients are all top-quality, and you definitely won't find them at Lingxiao Academy." After speaking, Luo Zichuan actually personally served Long Chen some food.
Long Chen was instantly flattered, while Luo Changwu showed a relieved smile. He had been worried all these days, but now he could finally relax.
"The family head hasn't smiled in many years." The Grand Elder looked at Luo Zichuan and couldn't help but smile.
"Hahaha, it seems you're not much better off than me, right?" Luo Zichuan laughed heartily.
Hearing Luo Zichuan's words, the Luo family's strong figures all laughed. The Grand Elder was famously serious; he guessed he could count the number of times he'd laughed in his lifetime on two hands.
The Grand Elder was a hero of the Luo family, having followed Luo Zichuan through life and death. Among Luo Zichuan's ten fierce generals, he was the only one still alive. In the entire Luo family, only the Grand Elder dared to speak to the clan leader like this.
Those who could come here except Luo Bing and the others were all key elders of the Luo family. If they weren't accompanying Qin Feng and the others, Luo Bing, Luo Xue, and the others wouldn't have had the right to sit here.
Seeing the clan leader so happy, the atmosphere instantly became lively.
"Clan leader, you need no thanks. This cup is my toast!"
Long Chen picked up his wine glass, stood up, and respectfully held his cup with both hands.
He genuinely admired Luo Zichuan. These days, under Luo Zichuan's guidance, he felt as if he had been reborn.
"Alright,"
Luo Zichuan raised his glass and drank it all in one go. Even when drinking, his movements were clean and decisive, utterly carefree.
"This cup of wine, I offer to you all. Over the years, you have worked tirelessly for my Luo clan. Zichuan thanks you here." Luo Zichuan stood up and addressed everyone.
The Luo family experts hurriedly stood up and drained their cups in one gulp. Their faces were filled with excitement. Luo Zichuan's words of encouragement were the greatest recognition of them.
"This third cup of wine congratulates our Luo family on having a new partner. From now on, Long Chen's affairs are our Luo family's affairs." After speaking, Luo Zichuan raised his glass. Long Chen, Qin Feng, Bai Xiaole, and Xu Zixiong quickly finished the wine, as this was a toast to all of them.
After finishing three cups of wine, Luo Zichuan looked at Luo Changwu beside him, reached out and patted his shoulder, saying,
"All these years, the Luo family has relied on you and Changwen to hold things together. You've done very well, and I'm very satisfied."
It was the first time Luo Changwu felt such affection from his father, and he was instantly flattered. He hurriedly said, "
It's all thanks to the clan leader's guidance. My eldest brother and I have only done our part. The Luo family hasn't made much progress lately, so we really don't deserve such praise from the clan leader."
"When it comes to governing a family, each person has their own style. I'm good at attacking but not at defending. In times of chaos, I rule the ups and downs; in times of peace, my way of thinking doesn't work.
There's no such thing as progress or stagnation. I've seen the hard work you two brothers put in, and you've done very well. Luo Zichuan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Father, for your praise." Luo Changwu said excitedly, this time he was using his father, not the clan leader.
Luo Zichuan nodded, "I'm going to the Outer Domain to settle the grudge from over a period ago. All family affairs will be entrusted to you." "
Luo Changwu was shocked: "You're going to the Outer Domain, but right now..."
All the Luo clan experts were startled. The sea demons in the Sea of Demons were unpredictable, ready to launch a powerful attack at any moment.
The Chu family was also stirring. Now that the Luo clan was beset from all sides, Luo Zichuan, as the spiritual pillar of the Luo family, left at this critical moment, leaving everyone without a backbone for the sake of their backbone.
"Originally, I planned to wait until you had settled this matter before leaving, but I realized it wasn't necessary.
As for my matter, it needs to be resolved early. The longer we delay, the worse it will be. The Luo Clan is temporarily in your hands." Luo Zichuan glanced at Luo Changwu and Long Chen, smiled slightly, and with a flicker, disappeared from everyone's sight.
As soon as Luo Zichuan left, Long Chen noticed that the faces of all the Luo family's experts had grown serious.
"Clan Chief, has he ever said anything to you?" Luo Changwu looked at Long Chen and couldn't help but say.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "The clan leader didn't say anything." Luo
Zichuan was truly an incomprehensible figure, leaving just like that—without any warning or explanation, leaving everyone anxious.
Luo Zichuan's actions were too mysterious. Long Chen had seen countless people, but when it came to his grandfather, he couldn't see through him at all, never knowing what he was thinking.
At a banquet, the atmosphere instantly became extremely heavy. Except for Xu Zixiong and Bai Xiaole, who were carefree and eating and drinking, the others barely ate.
After the banquet, Long Chen asked Luo Xue and the others to take Qin Feng, Bai Xiaole, and Xu Zixiong to sharpen the Blade Ladder, and instructed Qin Feng to take both of them and rush up the ninety steps—this was his mission.
After giving these instructions, Long Chen wanted to find Luo Changwu, but was told that the Sea of Demons had once again erupted with sea monster invasions, and Luo Changwu had gone to take command.
Long Chen directly boarded the teleportation array and arrived at the Sea of Demons, where he found a large number of sea monsters charging toward the coast. However, their scale was not very large, and the defenders could easily resist.
Long Chen arrived at the command tower, standing shoulder to shoulder with Luo Changwu. Looking at the boundless sea of demons, Luo Changwu couldn't help but sigh and said, "
I wonder, Father, after this trip, will we still be able to come back?"
"What?" Long Chen was startled.
"Father, this time he only took Ziwei with him, but left the sheath behind to continue suppressing the Luo clan's fortune. So, this time when Father goes out, he might ...," Luo Changwu's voice trembled slightly, and Long Chen felt his scalp tingle, as if sensing something unusual.
