Chapter 228: Chapter 214: A Difficult Choice! Lu Xuan Decides for His Father!

If it were any other small matter, Lu Jiahe would help his cousin even at the cost of losing face.

However, when it comes to something so atrocious, Lu Jiahe’s conscience simply won’t allow him to shield the perpetrator.

"Jiahe, our entire family is on our knees begging you!"

Seeing Lu Jiahe mercilessly refuse him, Lu Jiayong hurriedly stood up, looking anxious, unable to believe Lu Jiahe would deny his request.

"Jiahe, how heartless you are! Yunfei used to call you uncle, and now you want to see him sentenced to death."

"If Yunfei dies, my family line ends with him."

"You know, I lost the ability to have children years ago; Yunfei is my only son."

"How can I face our deceased father then? I’d die without peace!"

Faced with Lu Jiayong’s accusations, Lu Jiahe’s face suddenly turned pale, a surge of heat reversing through his body.

In the next moment, the corners of Lu Jiahe’s mouth were stained with bright red blood, slowly flowing out.

Lu Jiahe was so agitated that a part of his blood surged up and burst out.

"Dad!"

"Are you alright? Sit down quickly."

Lu Yun’an, who had been silent, was instantly thrown into panic upon seeing this. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Like a startled bird, he sprang up, wanting to support Lu Jiahe.

At this critical moment, the abnormal state inside Lu Jiahe inadvertently triggered the Gang Yuan power Lu Xuan had left within him.

Lu Jiahe’s eyes flashed with a purple light, and his whole body emitted a radiant light.

A purple Gang Yuan Protective Shield, exuding a terrifying aura, enveloped Lu Jiahe.

The appearance of this Purple Gang Yuan Protective Shield instantly isolated Lu Jiahe from the surrounding space, even Lu Yun’an couldn’t get close.

The eerie situation deeply startled the entire Lu Jiayong family, making them forget what they intended to say next.

Especially Lu Jiayong, a Martial Artist trained in the Flesh Refining Realm.

Despite his level, Lu Jiayong could sense the terrifying nature of that Purple Gang Yuan Protective Shield.

However, the scene lasted only a few breaths before the purple shield gradually retreated into Lu Jiahe’s body.

And under the nourishment of the Purple Gang Yuan Protective Shield, Lu Jiahe’s physical discomfort vanished without a trace, leaving him inexplicably clear-headed.

Was it Xuan’s remaining power?

Feeling the mysterious warmth within, Lu Jiahe finally felt some solace.

Opposite him, Lu Jiayong’s gaze was filled with endless envy and jealousy.

Others might not know, but Lu Jiayong knew full well.

The real strength of the Lu Family was Lu Jiahe’s outstanding and astonishing son, Lu Xuan!

Recalling how his own son was a mess while his cousin’s son was more impressive with every passing day.

The disparity between people was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.

"Alas, cousin, you now understand my resolve."

"Let’s not bring this up again!"

Hearing this, Lu Jiayong felt all hope was lost, his face turning pale as paper.

He knew that in the county, Lu Jiahe was the only savior for his son.

If Lu Jiahe refused to plead for him, his son would be sentenced to execution like those two people!

No!

I cannot become the Lu Family’s disgrace.

Otherwise, even in death, I wouldn’t be content!

With that thought, Lu Jiayong seemed to find another way to make amends, a glimmer of hope appearing on his face.

"Jiahe, since that’s the case, I won’t force you."

"Could you grant Yunfei one month’s time? I want him to leave a legacy!"

As Lu Jiayong spoke, he directly prostrated himself at Lu Jiahe’s feet, grabbing his leg without any care for a man’s dignity.

Lu Jiahe was momentarily unable to decide, seeing his cousin in such a miserable state.

Lu Yunfei is now imprisoned in the county jail, and without County Magistrate Ye Qingshan’s permission, no one can see him.

However, in Lu Jiahe’s eyes, Lu Jiayong’s request was equally difficult to decide upon.

At this moment, the hall became exceptionally quiet, with only Lu Yunfei’s mother silently weeping on her knees.

Standing there, Lu Jiahe pondered deeply, pressing his right hand against the table beside him as if steadying himself.

Then, outside the hall door, the air mysteriously twisted and deformed.

With a flash of blinding purple light, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance, as if emerging from some unknown dimension.

The first to notice this sudden appearance was Lu Yun’an, who stood nearby, uncertain of what to do.

Seeing the person outside the door, Lu Yun’an’s eyes widened tremendously.

He was like one under a Freezing Skill, frozen in place, unable to move.

"Bro... Brother?" Lu Yun’an’s voice trembled, looking at the man outside in disbelief.

Yes, the newcomer was Lu Yun’an’s big brother, the young owner of the Lu Family Pharmacy, Lu Xuan!

Before Lu Yun’an could recover from his shock, he dashed towards the door.

Lu Jiahe, who hadn’t yet made a decision, suddenly noticed Lu Yun’an’s strange behavior and looked in the direction he was running.

The sight struck Lu Jiahe like a bolt of lightning, leaving him frozen, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Xuan!"

The word nearly trembled out of Lu Jiahe’s mouth, his voice mixed with indescribable joy.

Lu Xuan casually surveyed his surroundings, raising a brow at the sight of people kneeling around.

However, without dwelling on it, he immediately addressed Lu Jiahe.

"Father!"

"It’s me!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Seeing Lu Xuan, Lu Jiahe echoed "good" multiple times, his joy genuinely heartfelt.

At this time, Lu Jiayong, still holding onto Lu Jiahe’s leg, became flustered upon realizing Lu Xuan’s return.

His expression turned tense and uneasy, quickly releasing his hands to stand up again, not daring to speak further.

"Big brother!"

Lu Yun’an finally reached Lu Xuan, shouting excitedly.

"Mm!" Lu Xuan nodded slightly in response, then, without any hesitation, asked,

"What happened here?"

Lu Xuan was familiar with the people kneeling there.

Over the years, although Lu Xuan had been reclusively practicing martial arts within the family, he had met them.

When Lu Xuan saw Lu Jiayong, he respectfully called him uncle!

Yet now, his uncle’s whole family was kneeling on the ground.

Lu Xuan didn’t need anyone to tell him that something significant had occurred.

After Lu Yun’an heard Lu Xuan’s question, he quickly recounted everything without any hesitation.

However, as Lu Yun’an finished, the smile on Lu Xuan’s face gradually frozen, his expression becoming increasingly calm.

That scoundrel Lu Yunfei had indeed created a major incident, doing something heinously unforgivable.

Five or six years ago, due to Lu Yunfei’s nature, Lu Jiayong wanted Lu Xuan to discipline him.

But Lu Xuan would show no mercy, and whenever Lu Yunfei dared to act outrageously, he would unhesitatingly use force.

Words did little; a broken bone was the best way to teach!

Alas, Lu Jiayong and his wife were so horrified by Lu Xuan’s methods that they took Lu Yunfei back that very night.

Unfortunately, if the couple hadn’t been so protective back then, Lu Xuan could have corrected Lu Yunfei’s lousy character.

With a detached gaze, Lu Xuan spoke to Lu Jiayong without any expression.

"Fine, I’ll grant you a month. After this is settled, never set foot here again!"

His father wouldn’t do something against conscience, but Lu Xuan didn’t mind.

Lu Xuan never explained his actions to anyone.

Moreover, after helping them, the familial ties would end here, and they could no longer seek any help from Lu Jiahe in the future.
