Chapter 931: Chapter 50: Amidst Laughter and Conversation

But he simply had no qualification to act tough in front of Li Fei.

The things he was proud of were nothing compared to Li Fei!

In terms of rank, he was an Earl, while Li Fei was a Marquis, and an inheritable one at that.

In terms of position, he was now merely a Level 15 military general, while Li Fei was a Level 16 cabinet official.

In terms of power, the little military strength he commanded was nowhere near comparable to the Savage Killing Army with over three thousand Imperial Camp Army soldiers.

In terms of martial prowess, he had just become a Single Divine Ability Martial Arts Master, whereas Li Fei had already slain five Martial Arts Masters of the Northern Barbarians…

The only area where he surpassed Li Fei was his family background.

But faced with Li Fei, who was already a ‘Guardian Minister’, now the entire Lu Family could only have the Family Head, Lu Wenzheng, to speak with Li Fei on equal terms.

“We actually have a lot of sincerity, and are willing to offer ample compensation, whether it be cultivation resources or official resources, as long as you speak up, we can discuss it! Our Lu Family can even fully support your foster father, Li Lei, to maneuver, making him a Garrison Commander of a prefecture first, and later compete for the Inspection Envoy. This way, he can also be a great help to you!”

“And your sister, we…”

“That’s enough.”

Li Fei interrupted Lu Wenyao, “Lu Wenzheng must die, there’s no negotiation on this point.”

Lu Wenyao gritted his teeth, his tone fierce: “Just the case of Shangguan Xiao won’t be enough to convict the Family Head, do you dare to kill an Inspection Envoy for no reason? Kill a Governor?!”

Li Fei smiled, “So, the Lu Family is determined to fight me to the end? Are you sure?”

“…”

Lu Wenyao fell silent.

This was actually the crux of the problem, and why Lu Family had to compromise first—

Li Fei could afford to wait, Lu Family couldn’t!

If during the fight for the throne, the Eldest Prince won, then Lu Family would have nothing to worry about, because Li Fei wouldn’t have the opportunity to grow, and would definitely be settled.

But now it was precisely the Crown Prince who was regent, and Li Fei had become a ‘Minister of Care’.

So the Lu Family couldn’t afford to wait.

“As I said earlier, change someone to be the Family Head, Lu Wenzheng isn’t irreplaceable, for instance, you could become the Family Head.”

Li Fei spoke lightly while sipping tea.

Lu Wenyao’s expression shifted.

Li Fei did not randomly select this person to come to his residence and discuss with him.

After carefully studying the internal situation of the Lu Family, aside from the branch represented by the Family Head Lu Wenzheng, among the other branches, Lu Wenyao’s branch was currently the strongest.

Moreover, Lu Wenyao had already undergone a breakthrough to become a Martial Arts Master, with a lifespan far longer than Lu Wenzheng’s.

This meant that once Lu Wenzheng was dead, Lu Wenyao was undoubtedly one of those most likely to take the position of Family Head!

Thus, when Li Fei spoke the words ‘for instance, you could become the Family Head,’ Lu Wenyao’s reaction was obvious.

He absolutely had ideas about the Family Head position, and had certainly considered this matter before Li Fei pointed it out today!

Li Fei looked at him, put down his teacup, and said calmly:

“Let’s be frank, I want Lu Wenzheng and those who participated in the plot against my master and wife dead, but I’m not necessarily determined to fight to the bitter end with the Lu Family. For instance, I can support you as the Lu Family Head.”

Lu Wenyao’s complexion finally changed, unable to maintain his composure.

“Given Li Fei’s current power and influence, if he supports me to become the Family Head…”

Lu Wenyao’s heart began to race.

This was indeed the most beneficial plan for me, no, for the entire Lu Family!

Lu Wenyao, being a veteran of the battlefield, quickly made a decisive choice.

He looked into Li Fei’s eyes: “In this matter, I represent the Lu Family and agree!”

Li Fei smiled slightly, once again lifted his teacup and gestured to Lu Wenyao:

“Wu Xuanbo, please.”

“Marquis, please.”

Amidst the conversation and laughter, Li Fei decided the future Family Head of the Lu Family, one of the ‘Ten Gate Valves’!

Outside the hall, sunlight spread in the courtyard like golden foil, shining upon the gnarled old plum tree.

After the harsh winter, soon will come the fresh green of the full trees.
