Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 414: Chapter 413: Can’t Let It Go On Like This Chapter 414: Chapter 413: Can’t Let It Go On Like This Luo Ning could roughly guess why Lu Xun had come to visit the heads of the major families.

She asked, “The Luck Absorption Array we found that day, were there many set up, making it quite troublesome?”

Lu Xun chuckled lightly, “Only you would know me so well.”

However, his main purpose for coming to the island this time was still to meet Luo Ning, with business being secondary.

“In the areas of the Imperial Capital with large crowds, we basically found such arrays everywhere, about thirty or more.”

“Besides universities, squares, and office areas, they were also in well-known tourist spots.”

“I felt the situation was quite serious, so I had the special department check it out, as well as in a few economically developed cities with large populations, and found that such arrays had been set up there too.”

“The special department and the Fengshui Xuanhui have already reached a cooperation consensus, and their people will help us break the arrays.”

“It’s just that since the arrays are not simply laid out, and their manpower and strength are limited, they suggested that I better ask for help from the Gufengshui Family.”

Because this was in the Sikong family’s study, although no surveillance or monitoring devices were discovered, Lu Xun still chose not to mention it.

This was actually also a way for those above to use this incident to probe these ancient Fengshui families.

He exchanged a glance with Luo Ning, and she roughly understood as well.

She said, “Then it seems this matter is indeed tricky; the organization that laid out the arrays must be very powerful.”

“The materials for such arrays are not cheap, and they are not something an ordinary Feng Shui Master could set up.”

Lu Xun had given her a meaningful look just now, and she had guessed that he was also carrying out the mission to probe the ancient Fengshui families this time.

Lu Xun nodded, “Indeed, so dealing with this is also very troublesome, and it requires the cooperation of the ancient Fengshui families.”

Luo Ning thought for a moment and asked, “If you appear tomorrow, would that also mean exposing your relationship with the Sikong Family Patriarch?”

Lu Xun replied, “Yes, my father asked me to mingle more with my maternal family’s side.”

Those above still weren’t sure how to deal with the ancient Fengshui families.

Whether to continue cooperating as before and let things be, or to eliminate this hidden danger, it all depended on whether these families posed any problems.

Thus, his maternal family was a breakthrough point.

Luo Ning instantly understood, “Keeping in touch with your uncle’s family is a good idea.”

It seemed that those above were reaching their limit with the ancient Fengshui families.

According to her observations since arriving here, looking at the Lei Family, they did not seem like they would cross the line.

The Lei Family was especially intelligent and understood the big picture well; they were not foolish enough to confront those above or betray Huaxia.

Since the Sikong family had always been low-profile, and the family members rarely went out, coupled with their relationship with the Lu Family, they probably wouldn’t cross the line either.

It was very likely that one of the other four families was causing trouble, either being too arrogant and overly expanding their influence, or it was something even more serious.

At any rate, the Luo Family and the Lou Family had gone a bit too far with their developments in Xiang Island and the Southern Ocean.

It was also unknown whether they had cooperated with foreign Feng Shui Mage organizations.

Indeed, the decision for her father to cut ties with the Luo Family was right; the Luo Family was now just a black hole.

Whoever fell into their pit was doomed.

Lu Xun kissed her on the nose. Luo Ning was still the one who understood him best.

The two of them talked for a while and didn’t delay too much before leaving the study.

Dinner was at the Sikong family’s place, where everyone refrained from mentioning any sensitive topics, just chatting about family matters or discussing issues related to Mystical Technique.

The news of Luo Ning and Luo Ranran visiting the Sikong family quickly became known to the other families.

Everyone was surprised, wondering how the Sikong family had formed a connection with Luo Ning.

They were even more curious whether the Sikong family had known Luo Ning before or if they were now seeking to win her over.

Some thought the Sikong family might have seen the potential in Luo Ning’s talent, and since she knew how to produce Pills and craft High-level Magical Tools, they had made deliberate efforts to win her over.

Most people, however, thought it wasn’t so simple.

That was what Family Head Luo thought.

As long as it didn’t involve the issue of Lady Luo, Family Head Luo was still quite rational and shrewd.

In the study of the Luo family mansion, Family Head Luo gently tapped on the table and asked the elders, “What do you think?”

The elders understood that the Family Head was asking about the Sikong family inviting Luo Ning as a guest.

One elder said, “At the exchange meeting, the Sikong Family Patriarch seemed somewhat partial to Luo Ning, but we hadn’t heard before that the Sikong family had any contact or relationship with Luo Ning.

So, I guess the Sikong family might want to win her over.”

Another elder said, “I think it’s not that simple. If it were just about winning her over, with the Sikong Family Patriarch’s usual indifference to affairs, he wouldn’t offend the Luo Family just for Luo Ning.”

Now that they directly invited Luo Ning to the Sikong family as a guest, it made them very unhappy.

Soon, the other elders joined the discussion, each holding their views. However, it revolved mainly around the two mentioned disagreements.

After listening, Family Head Luo said, “I also think it’s not so simple for the Sikong family to invite Luo Ning as a guest.”

He continued, “Have you noticed that the Sikong Family Patriarch began to show goodwill and protection towards Luo Ning starting from when she produced the Jade Token?”

The elders hadn’t really noticed this.

Family Head Luo continued, “Logically, although coming with a Jade Token represents a distinguished guest from above, our Six Great Families have never placed much emphasis on this.”

“The previous Sikong Family Patriarch treated distinguished guests similarly, so why is it different with Luo Ning this time?”

An elder asked, “Could it be that the Sikong Family Patriarch reached some kind of agreement with those above?”

Another person said, “Impossible. With the shrewdness of the Sikong Family Patriarch, if he indeed reached any agreement with those above, he wouldn’t show special regard towards Luo Ning.”

Family Head Luo nodded, “Exactly, so the problem still lies with the token.”

He added, “This time’s Jade Token is not the same as the ones before.”

The Gufengshui Family had once given six Jade Tokens to those above, which meant each family contributed one.

This time, he specifically observed the Jade Token in Luo Ning’s hand, and it was clearly the one given by the Sikong family.

He narrowed his eyes and said, “I suspect that the person who gave Luo Ning the Jade Token might have some connection with the Sikong family.”

If Luo Ning had been there to hear Family Head Luo’s analysis, she probably would have sighed to herself that indeed, one could not be the head of the Luo Family without being shrewd.

Family Head Luo, though visibly irritated ever since Luo Ning had come in, had still keenly observed details like the Jade Token, which didn’t quite match his outwardly irritable and confused demeanor.

The elders had great respect for Family Head Luo.

“If Luo Ning really gets entangled with the Sikong family, and we try to forcibly bring her back to the Luo family tomorrow, will the Sikong family block us?”

The decision to forcibly bring Luo Ning back to the Luo family was unanimous.

She was simply too talented and held too much animosity toward the Luo family; they couldn’t let it continue unchecked.

Bluntly speaking, they were afraid Luo Ning would become a great calamity eventually.

It was evident from the exchange meeting that she liked causing trouble, demeaning and stepping on the Luo family, just like Luo Ranran.

Family Head Luo sighed, “That’s what I’m worried about.”
