Chapter 687: Chapter 331 Lu Family Head: The person from the Luo Family must die!_2

Was this a coincidence, or was it…

Deliberately orchestrated by the Luo Family of Qingshi City.

This was something that Lu Jiancheng, the current Family Head of the Lu Family, did not yet know.

“Troublesome, things have gotten somewhat troublesome…”

Lu Jiancheng furrowed his brows, muttering to himself in a low voice.

After a moment of silence, the black-clothed cultivator couldn’t help but ask Lu Jiancheng in a low voice, “Family Head, what should we do next?”

...

Lu Jiancheng raised his head and glanced at the black-clothed cultivator in front of him.

Only after a long silence did Lu Jiancheng slowly exhale.

His expression gradually became more resolute.

“At this point, regardless of whether the person claiming to be from the Luo Family of Qingshi City is indeed from there or not,”

“we of the Lu Family in Qiuyue City can only pretend to be unaware.”

“Moreover, the person claiming to be from the Luo Family of Qingshi City must not be allowed to continue living in this world.”

“Without evidence, everything is still manageable.”

“But if that person claiming to be from the Luo Family of Qingshi City finds something critical…”

At this point,

Lu Jiancheng suddenly closed his mouth, ceasing to speak.

Even though Lu Jiancheng did not continue,

the black-clothed cultivator standing in front of him still understood the meaning behind his words perfectly well.

Without evidence, the Lu Family of Qiuyue City could still argue its case.

They could even say,

the person tried to forcefully enter a highly confidential governmental establishment, so they were killed on the spot.

But if the person claiming to be from the Luo Family of Qingshi City carried out some investigation

and managed to bring back some evidence to the Luo Family Ancestral Land in Qingshi City,

then real trouble would descend upon the Lu Family of Qiuyue City.

“Take action.”

“If possible, try to conceal your identity,” said Lu Jiancheng in a low voice to the black-clothed cultivator who often followed the mysterious elder of the family.

Upon hearing this, the black-clothed cultivator slightly bowed his head,

and then disappeared within the room.

…

In the bustling central area of Qiuyue City,

within the top governmental institution that looked somewhat destitute but was occupied by many of the Lu Family’s private soldiers at this moment,

Luo Yao, the heir to the Luo Family Headship,

was walking in silence along with Luo Ze behind him,

seemingly in search of something.

“It should be just ahead, right?” whispered Luo Yao to the young government official in front of him, who was dressed in a black and red robe.

Upon hearing Luo Yao’s question, the young government official turned stiffly,

and with a twisted smile that revealed an unpleasant expression, he replied, “My lord, it’s just a short distance ahead…”

After speaking, the young government official continued to lead the way,

silently walking towards a certain direction up ahead.

As Luo Yao, Luo Ze, and the young government official made their way,

the atmosphere nearby also gradually became more oppressive and more terrifying.

“My lord…”

After a long silence,

the young government official eventually stopped his steps.

He turned his head with a somewhat solemn expression and looked back at Luo Yao, swallowing hard before quietly saying, “My lord, I understand you claim to be from the Luo Family of Qingshi City and I am aware of how esteemed your identity is, but if possible… I would advise you not to proceed any further.”

“Otherwise, once the Lu Family of Qiuyue City realizes this, you may…”

At this point,

the young government official fell silent again.

“I may what?”

Luo Yao smiled lightly and continued the young government official’s words, “Are you trying to say, if I continue to move forward, I might not be able to save my own life, is that it?”

To Luo Yao’s retort, the young government official chose to remain silent yet again.

“Are you trying to say, the Lu Family of Qiuyue City will act against us?” inquired Luo Ze, who was always carrying a spiritual sword and bore no expression on his face, from behind Luo Yao.

As for Luo Ze’s question, the young government official still chose to keep silent.

…

With the silence of the young government official,

the atmosphere at the scene gradually became increasingly oppressive, increasingly deathly still.

It increasingly made people feel somewhat uncomfortable.

“Why remind me?”

Suddenly, Luo Yao asked in a low voice to the government official in front of him.

Logically speaking, since the Lu Family is like a local emperor in Qiuyue City,

the prestige of the Lu Family within Qiuyue City should not be comparable to that of the Qingshi City Luo Family.

Yet, before even arriving at the destination,

this young government official told him such words.

This made both Luo Yao and Luo Ze, who stood behind him, somewhat puzzled.

You see, although Luo Yao said he is from the Luo Family,

he never revealed his name,

nor did he ever disclose his true identity.

Therefore, neither this young government official nor the Lu Family of Qiuyue City should be aware of his identity.

But the result was otherwise.

This was indeed slightly abnormal.

“The Qingshi City Luo Family is a very good ruler,”

“So, I don’t want to see someone from the Qingshi City Luo Family like you, to just throw away your life.”

the young government official said.

Of course, apart from this reason, there were many other factors,

but the young government official did not mention those.

Just this reason alone was sufficient.

As a common citizen, he no longer wanted to witness war break out on this land.

To live in peace was all that the government official wished for.

“A very good ruler?”

Upon hearing this response, Luo Yao’s slightly squinted eyes couldn’t help but flash a trace of surprise.

After the surprise, a slight smile appeared on his calm face.

He had thought of many answers, but he did not expect this person to provide such a response.

“I am well aware of what you’re saying,”

Luo Yao told the young government official in front of him.

The young government official, looking somewhat excited, said to Luo Yao, “So you’re not planning to investigate this matter further?”

Luo Yao shook his head silently and calmly said, “No, I will still continue to investigate this tax issue. As for the Lu Family of Qiuyue City… they are not a problem to me.”

When Luo Yao said this, he seemed to be very confident.

Luo Ze, who stood silently behind Luo Yao, was always holding a longsword.

Eyes on the nose, nose on the heart.

It seemed as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

“The Lu Family of Qiuyue City, not a problem to you???”

The young government official looked at Luo Yao beside him, the puzzlement in his eyes clearly overflowing.

However, since he had already stated this,

and this person who claimed to be from the Qingshi City Luo Family was still full of confidence that the Lu Family of Qiuyue City couldn’t affect him,

it became pointless for the young government official to say anything more.

“That’s all there is to say.

If you, sir, would still like to continue your investigation, then please follow me…”

After being silent for a moment,

he turned his head and quietly said this to Luo Yao behind him.

Then, he continued to walk towards the direction of the archive room where various secret documents were kept.

And along the way, neither Luo Yao, Luo Ze, nor the young government official spoke any further.

…

“Here we are, this is it…”

In front of a giant storeroom which appeared somewhat dilapidated and in disrepair,

the young government official clad in a black-and-red robe silently stopped his advance.

He said in a low voice to Luo Yao and Luo Ze who were behind him.

“Is this the place?”

Luo Yao silently raised his head,

looking at the storeroom before him.

After a moment, he passed by where the young government official stood,

pushed open the large doors of the storeroom, and slowly walked inside.
