The Invincible Dragon Emperor Chapter 359

A+ A- Chapter 359: Sad Story
The news that Lu Li made a huge scene at the Hall of Patriarchs was spread at the Mystic Armor Mountain and the Mystic Armor City. The entire Mystic Armor City became livelier. Nothing as sensational as this had happened in a long time.

What was more, even the Great Patriarch was alarmed. The cause of it all was Lu Feixue was bullied, and Lu Li, as her nephew, tried to defend her.

People would, of course, talk about a young man at the Soul Pond Realm that almost killed Qiu Wenze twice and that was the son of Lu Renhuang and the grandson of the Family Patriarch.

Many people had been kept in the dark about the ident.i.ty of Lu Li. But after this, everyone knew. Many were convinced that Lu Li was the son of Lu Renhuang.

If not, why would Lu Li try to defend Lu Feixue? Why would the Great Patriarch ask Patriarch Four to send Qiu Wenze back and even call off the marriage?

Calling off the marriage was a disgrace for the Palace of G.o.ds. Qiu Wancheng, the Master of Palace of G.o.ds, might be infuriated. If the Palace of G.o.ds wouldn’t want to stay under the control of the Lu Family anymore, it would be a bad news for the Lu Family.

The Great Patriarch said he would punish Lu Li but there was it. Lu Li was sent back to the Dragon’s Pavilion after he spent some time at the fortress on the lake. There was no more announcement.

Clearly, Great Patriarch sided with Lu Li. The matter must be left unsettled…

Regardless, Lu Li was famous at the Mystic Armor City and the Lu Family.

Lu Li, the bold grandson of the Family Patriarch, became an idol for many young masters and young ladies of the Lu Family.

…

Yu Huashen was freed. If Lu Li was not punished, it was unnecessary to punish Yu Huashen who was only a slave of Lu Li and acted on orders. Punis.h.i.+ng Yu Huashen would only enrage Lu Li again.

Lu Feixue had learned the news before Lu Li went back to the Dragon’s Pavilion. She almost cried her eyes out. She rushed to Lu Li when he came back in one piece, hugged him and cried again.

"It’s okay now, aunt. Your marriage with Qiu Wenze is off. As long as I am alive, n.o.body can bully you!"

Lu Li patted Lu Feixue’s back and comforted her. Lu Feixue nodded but could not say anything.

Lu Li brought Lu Feixue in and comforted her for a while longer. He asked when she had calmed down why Qiu Wenze dared to torture her.

Lu Feixue was the daughter of the Lu Family Patriarch. How could Qiu Wenze, a young master from an affiliated forced, be so bold? Lu Li’s grandpa had met some unfortunate things for sure, but he was still alive. Lu Li’s father was at the Northern Desert but he would return someday.

Lu Feixue told Lu Li the truth after some hesitation. Lu Li finally had an understanding of what had happened years back.

It was 20 years ago. Lu Renhuang felt he was wronged by Lu Li’s grandpa and Lu Renhuang ran away. At that time, Lu Feixue was still a teenager. Lu Li’s grandpa was so enraged that he went into closed-door cultivation at once. He also ordered that n.o.body should go and look for Lu Renhuang and he should be left stew in his own juice.

Lu Li’s grandma fell ill because of this. She pa.s.sed away after Lu Renhuang went missing for five years. n.o.body was there for Lu Feixue to educate her. She grew to be spoiled and rebellious. She would cause trouble often. Since Lu Li’s grandpa was in closed-door cultivation, n.o.body else dared to discipline Lu Feixue. The patriarchs had to clean up her messes, and at the same time, they became more disappointed in her…

Later on, Lu Feixue fell in love with a young master who did not come from the eastern Central Plains. He came from a small family.

Lu Feixue was spoiled and revolting. Her fath

er was in cultivation, her mother died from illness, and her brother was missing. Lu Feixue fell head over heels for the young master. She would go everywhere with him. The news caused a huge sensation at the eastern Central Plains.

When the Lu Family learned this, none of the patriarchs would agree. Who was Lu Feixue? She was the daughter of a Family Patriarch of a Royal Family. How could she be married to a young master from some small family? He was not even from the eastern Central Plains. The Lu Family had quite a number of enemies. What if this young master was a spy?

Therefore…

The same kind of tragedy that happened to Jiang Qiling happened to Lu Feixue. Lu Feixue’s matter was reported to Lu Zhengyang, Lu Li’s grandpa. Lu Zhengyang ordered in person that Lu Feixue should be grounded for three years and then marry the humble Qiu Wenze.

Lu Feixue still had hopes after three years. On the day of her marriage, she ran away to find that young master. However, that entire family went missing. The Lu Family had sent someone to threaten the small family and they all moved where n.o.body could find.

Lu Feixue was taken back and was sent to the Palace of G.o.ds. She admitted defeat to fate, but Qiu Wenze had become a joke in the eastern Central Plains. He was not happy and he felt he was cheated on…

It was not bad during the first couple of years, but then something happened to Lu Zhengyang. Qiu Wenze started drinking at that time and he began to torture and bully Lu Feixue after he getting drunk.

Lu Feixue had come back to the Lu Family to accuse Qiu Wenze, but the patriarchs felt it was not their place to mind such matters. At the very best, the patriarchs sent someone to remind the Palace of G.o.ds. Every time, Qiu Wenze would behave for a while but then he would resume his former actions after some time…

Lu Feixue resigned herself to destiny after she went through the falling of her father, the missing of her brother, the death of her mother and the indifference from the patriarchs. She was half dead from all those years of torture. She became submissive. If it were not for the thoughts of her father, she would have committed suicide…

This was a sad story. Lu Li knew that young ladies in many families had no control of their own marriages. There was no absolute right or wrong.

Of course, in this case, Lu Li chose to side with his aunt and not the normal practices. She was his only aunt and he would not let anyone bullying her go.

"Aunt, it’s okay now. Your marriage is off and you don’t have to go back to suffer anymore. Live with me. I will defend you if anyone in the Lu Family dares to give you a hard time."

Lu Li sighed and patted Lu Feixue’s shoulder. She was still fearful. Then he gave her some healing pellets. After this, he asked, "Aunt, what has happened to my grandpa?"

Lu Feixue had already taken some healing pellets but she was just not fully recovered yet. She shook her head and replied, "I don’t know because n.o.body would tell me. Only patriarchs are authorized to know. But… I have heard some rumors. It was like 10 years ago. Father went to look for my big brother at the Land of Voodoo, but my father was badly injured. When he came back, he began closed-door recovery and he had never come out in 10 years. The Mystic Armor City is sealed off since then."

"Badly injured?"

Lu Li frowned. His mind was weighed down with anxiety on the thought of the expressions Great Patriarch had when he talked about Lu Zhengyang and the avoidances of the subject about the Family Patriarch. So it seemed his grandpa was really in a serious condition. Otherwise, the Lu Family wouldn’t have been sealed off…

Lu Li was acceptable of the fact that the Lu Family and related information were both sealed off.

The Family Patriarch was in a grave situation so it was natural for the family to adopt a low-key method. No information could get out. Otherwise, their enemies would come and seek revenge.

Lu Li pondered about it for a while, then he suddenly looked at Ming Yu and Yu Huashen and said, "Take a look. Is there anyone nearby?"

Ming Yu and Yu Huashen quickly closed their eyes and sent out their psychic power. Then they nodded to tell Lu Li it was clear. Lu Li asked, "Aunt, who do you think I can trust in this Family? I mean… someone I can trust my life with. Is the Great Patriarch trustworthy?"

The only person that Lu Li trusted in the Lu Family was Lu Feixue. If she said Great Patriarch was okay, then he would tell Great Patriarch where Lu Renhuang was. As long as Great Patriarch made a move, Lu Renhuang could be saved from the Ice Abyss.

Lu Feixue was surprised. She didn’t understand why Lu Li asked this. She thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I think…y ou can trust n.o.body, including the two Great Patriarchs!"

"Two Great Patriarchs?"

Lu Li was confused. Wasn’t there only one Great Patriarch? How come he never saw the other Great Patriarch of the Lu Family?
