After arriving at the patriarch's house, Liu Zong was blocked outside, and only Linlong was allowed to enter.
After entering, Linlong found that there were four people inside. He didn't know any of them except for Uncle Jiu.
Sitting in the middle was a middle-aged man with a serious expression. Linlong could feel that the other person glared at him when he walked in. Based on the other person's position and the other person's attitude towards him, Linlong guessed that he should be the patriarch of the Liu Clan.
The person on the left looked amiable and amiable. When he saw Linlong, he even had a slight smile on his face. His appearance was slightly similar to Liu Ruolan's. Linlong guessed that he should be Liu Ruolan's father.
The person on the right had an arrogant expression, so he should be from the Lu Clan.
Uncle Jiu, who was sitting on the far right, saw Linlong come in, and smiled as he pointed to the three people next to him and introduced them, "Linlong, this is the patriarch of our Liu Clan … This is the third uncle of the young master of the Lu Clan, Lu Bing … This is Liu Ruolan's father."
Sure enough, it was similar to what he had guessed.
"Greetings, elders." Linlong bowed.
"Linlong, today I came to tell you that Ruolan has already been engaged to the young master of the Lu Clan, so you shouldn't have any interaction with Ruolan in the future." Looking at Linlong, the patriarch of the Liu Clan, Liu Zhengyun, said.
His tone was cold. Linlong was not surprised by the other party's attitude, because to a large extent, the death of the other party's adopted son was because of him, so no matter who was at fault, the other party must have a grudge against him.
However, although Linlong understood, he didn't like hearing the other party's words.
Although he had always seen Liu Ruolan as his younger sister, Liu Ruolan had never mentioned the young master of the Lu Clan to him. It was obvious that she didn't have any feelings for the young master of the Lu Clan. How could he let Liu Ruolan marry someone she didn't want to marry?
Moreover, Liu Ruolan already had a physical relationship with him, which was equivalent to half a woman to him.
Therefore, he immediately shook his head and said, "Patriarch, this isn't right. I see Ruolan as my younger sister, why can't I see her? Moreover, I have to ask Ruolan about this matter. I can't allow her to get married so carelessly."
Liu Zhengyun originally didn't like Linlong. After hearing Linlong's words, his face immediately sank, "Linlong, are you the patriarch or am I the patriarch? Do we need to agree to the rules set by our elders?"
Liu Ruolan's father, Liu Zhengzhou, hurriedly said, "Linlong, we know that you saved Ruolan and that she owes you a great debt of gratitude. However, marriage has always been the most important thing in the clan. For the sake of the clan's prosperity and the tribe's future, we have no choice but to make such a decision. I hope you can understand and let go of the obsession in your heart."
"No, Uncle Zhengzhou, I have to ask Ruolan about this in person." Linlong shook his head.
Patriarch Liu Zhengyun was enraged. He slammed his palm on the table beside him. "Linlong, we only called you here to inform you of this matter. It's not up to you to decide what to do. You can leave now."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I, Lu Bing, didn't expect an outsider like you to be so bold … Then let me see what you're capable of," Lu Bing said in a strange tone.
After he finished speaking, he directly released a crescent-shaped energy toward Linlong.
This was the Liu Clan's territory, Patriarch Liu Zhengyun's home. Lu Bing attacked Linlong without saying a word. This made the Liu Clan's members' faces turn ugly.
They wanted to block Lu Bing's attack. After all, Linlong was now a member of the Liu Clan. If there were any casualties, the Liu Clan would lose face.
However, Lu Bing's attack was too sudden. They didn't have time to block it.
In the blink of an eye, the crescent-shaped energy had already smashed into Linlong's body.
With a "bang", Linlong was directly sent flying out of the door. If it wasn't for the fact that he was smashed in the direction of the door, the stone house would have collapsed.
Liu Zhengyun and Liu Zhengzhou hurriedly rushed out.
What made them dumbfounded was that when they rushed out, Linlong had already stood up from the ground. It seemed like he was completely fine.
How was this possible?
The two of them looked at each other. Just now, they clearly saw that because Lu Bing's attack was too sudden, Linlong only managed to put up a small protective barrier. How could such a small protective barrier withstand such a powerful attack?
Ninth Uncle, who was following closely behind them, was also shocked. Although he had seen how strong Linlong's body was, how could Guo Xiuqi's strength compare to Lu Bing's?
While they were shocked, they naturally heaved a sigh of relief. Because if something really happened to Linlong, they wouldn't be able to explain it to the Liu Clan.
Lu Bing, who was the last to walk out, had an extremely ugly expression on his face. He had attacked so heavily, yet the brat before him was still unscathed. How was he supposed to show his face?
"Brat, you seem to have some ability. Then, try taking another palm strike from me." After saying that, he actually wanted to attack again.
At this time, how could Liu Zhengyun and the other two let him attack? They directly blocked in front of him.
"You're Lu Bing, right? I remember today's attack. I will definitely return it another day." After saying that, Linlong directly turned around and left.
A wise man knew better than to fight when the odds were against him. Knowing that he wasn't a match for the other party, Linlong wouldn't be foolish enough to fight him now.
Seeing him leave, Liu Zong, who was already dumbfounded, hurriedly followed.
After being stunned for a moment, Lu Bing suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahaha, brat, you're really arrogant. I, Lu Bing, am sitting in the Lu Clan. Let's see what you can do to me."
He didn't take Linlong seriously at all. He had obtained his current strength through countless years of hard work. How could Linlong catch up to him in such a short period of time?
Following beside Linlong, Liu Zong anxiously asked, "Linlong, why did you have a conflict with Lu Bing?"
Not only was Liu Zong a core member of the Lu Clan, but he also had the strength of a first-rate expert. How could he not be worried?
"Don't worry, he can't do anything to me." Linlong indifferently said.
"You can't say that. He is a first-rate expert and a core member of the Lu Clan. He doesn't even need to make a move himself to get others to cause trouble for you. Most importantly, he is a person who will seek revenge for the smallest grievance. Since you provoked him today, he will definitely come to cause trouble for you." Liu Zong's face was full of worry.
Knowing that he couldn't make Liu Zong feel at ease, Linlong simply changed the topic. "Ruolan and the young master of the Lu Clan are currently engaged. When will they get married?"
"According to the tribe's customs, they will get married two months after the engagement," Liu Zong said.
Two months, huh. It wasn't a long time, but it wasn't short either. It seemed like he had to make some progress in analyzing runic tools within these two months, Linlong thought to himself.
Originally, according to the previous method, some modifications to the runic tool should be suitable for a Celestial Qi expert like him. However, during this period of time, he realized that such modifications would not work. The purple crystal did not match the runic tool that he had modified, and he didn't know what the reason was.
However, he naturally wouldn't give up on studying runic tools, especially at such a critical juncture.
He believed that with his ability, he would definitely be able to find a way.
