Chapter 128 Master Lu's Taste
Xu Xin looked at Lü Ci, who was fighting with Bihe Ren in the jungle, and immediately angrily pulled up his sleeves.
"Damn it! This is no one's business! They dare to meddle in the Tang Clan's territory? We can't let them get away with this!"
After saying this, he was about to go up and interrupt Lü Ci, but at this moment two big men stood in front of Xu Xin, blocking his way.
"What are you doing?!" Xu Xin asked with an unfriendly expression.
One of them said with a smile, "I have to stop you all so you don't disturb our Seventh Brother. Of course, it's wrong of us to interfere in Tang Clan's affairs."
"We will absolutely not hurt any of you. If you insist on attacking us, then you must not hold back."
"Ha!? How arrogant!"
Xu Xin was about to teach the Lü family a lesson when Yu Huizhong grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.
"Hey! Aunt Yu?"
To Xu Xin's surprise, Yu Huizhong interrupted him directly.
"Tang Clan never lets outsiders interfere in their affairs, but the Lü family happened to be passing by and were attacked by these ninjas. Out of self-defense, the Lü family had no choice but to take action."
The Lü family immediately cupped their hands and said, "We are extremely grateful!"
As far as Yu Huizhong was concerned, as long as the Tang Clan did not explicitly accept help from others, it did not constitute a violation of the Tang Clan's rules.
They had already fought several battles with Higanbana today, and their physical condition wasn't great. There was no need for them to fight Higanbana to the death just because of the rules.
Since someone is willing to step forward and deal with the Higanbana in their place, why not?
As expected of the "Twin Pillars of the Lü Family," Lü Ci was so formidable that Bi He Ren had no chance against him and was quickly defeated.
The Tang Clan reinforcements who arrived saw Lü Ci fighting Bi He Ren and mistakenly thought he was there to interfere in Tang Clan's affairs. Just as he was about to step forward to drive Lü Ci away, Yu Huizhong stopped him in time.
Everyone watched as Lü Ci killed almost all the remaining Bihe Ninja and then spoke to the last Bihe Ninja.
"Remember my face, remember it! Come find me! Make that demon come find me!"
Lü Ci simply let one of the Bihe Ninjas go, thus dragging himself into the battle between the Tang Clan and the Bihe Ninjas.
Bihe Ren was unaware of the Tang Clan's rules. Since Lü Ci appeared in the battle between Bihe Ren and the Tang Clan, Lü Ci would naturally become a target for Bihe Ren's attack!
"Fellow members of the Tang Clan, I know how much we have offended you all by doing this. We had no choice but to do this to avenge our brother. We may offend the Tang Clan again in the future. If you harbor any resentment, my brothers and I will bear it all. It has nothing to do with the rest of the Lü family."
Xu Xin was furious at Lü Ci for talking to himself. Just as he was about to teach Lü Ci a lesson, Yu Huizhong pulled him away.
For the next while, Lü Ci and his group seemed to have attached themselves to the Tang Clan, following Xu Xin and his companions from a distance.
He wouldn't talk back even when he was scolded, he would just follow along at a distance.
The Tang Clan members didn't know how to deal with Lü Ci and his group, so they could only let them stay and wait for the sect leader to make a decision when they returned to the mountain gate.
Upon arriving at the mountain gate, Lü Ci and the others had not yet left. However, the path behind them belonged to the Tang Clan's territory, and Lü Ci could not be allowed to enter so easily.
After having Lü Ci and the others wait at the foot of the mountain, the Tang Clan members returned to the mountain gate to report on Lü Ci to their leader, Tang Bingwen.
"Master, how about this? He's just a kid, young and hot-blooded. Let's give him some space. Once he's disheartened, he'll leave on his own. How could he possibly break into the sect?"
Tang Bingwen had a different opinion when faced with the advice of the elders in the family.
"What if they really dare? Can we still kill him?"
Tang Bingwen's words made sense. Someone like Lü Ci, who forcibly squeezed into the conflict between the Tang Clan and the Bihe Ren without saying a word and reporting later, was not surprising in doing anything.
Moreover, Lu Ci and the others were there to help them, so no matter how ruthless the Tang Clan was, they couldn't directly attack them.
Having no other option, Tang Bingwen could only have someone invite Lü Ci and the others up the mountain, hoping to persuade them to leave on their own.
As soon as Lü Ci and the others entered the mountain gate, they knelt down in front of the Tang Clan members without saying a word.
"Master, we know we broke the rules. We brothers apologize to you."
“We understand the young master’s intentions. If we had blamed you, we would have acted on the spot. Get up and talk.” Tang Bingwen wasn’t angry, but there was one thing he didn’t understand: “If you’re going to interfere, then why did you follow us?”
Lu Ci lowered his head and said humbly, "I have another request. I would like to cooperate with the members of the Tang Clan to deal with the Bihe Ren..."
Lu Ci's words made all the Tang Clan disciples frown, and Tang Bingwen calmly refused Lu Ci's request.
“Young Master Lü, when have you ever heard of the Tang Clan cooperating with others? Besides, if you want to avenge your brother, we won’t stand in your way, will we? You do your thing, and we’ll do ours. We have no conflict and no need to cooperate.”
"Sect Leader, talking about 'cooperation' is just flattering us... Actually, we want to benefit from your Tang Clan's influence. The Bihe Ren are elusive, and it would be difficult for us to find them on our own. Only by acting alongside your sect can we have any hope of revenge!"
Hearing Lü Ci's explanation, Tang Bingwen didn't care. "I've already told you, young master, I know exactly what you're thinking, but this matter is a bit unreasonable. The Tang Clan's centuries-old rules can't be broken so easily."
After saying this, Tang Bingwen immediately had someone see the guest out, not wanting to hear Lü Ci continue.
Seemingly seeing the Tang Clan's persistence, Lü Ci also gave up the idea of seeking cooperation and instead proposed to see Xu Xin, Dong Chang, and Yang Lie, the three survivors of the Battle of Mianshan.
Although Tang Bingwen didn't understand what Lü Ci's purpose was, he still let the three of them come out to meet Lü Ci.
Upon seeing Xu Xin and the others, Lü Ci showered them with compliments, as if he were merely there to admire the heroic figures of the three young men.
Lü Liang, who knew his great-grandfather well, didn't believe that he was just there to take a look.
Sure enough, as Lü Ci was about to leave, he stepped forward and grasped Xu Xin's hand as if reluctant to part with him.
"I really hate to part with you all, especially you, Brother Xu! Although it was our first meeting, I just felt an instant connection with you!"
Lu Ci's excessive enthusiasm made Xu Xin a little embarrassed, so he took the opportunity to say a few words of comfort to Lu Ci.
But at that moment, Lü Ci suddenly said in a sinister tone, "But... Brother Xu... I've always liked to leave no regrets!"
Xu Xin suddenly realized that he couldn't move his body! A special energy had already invaded his body through Lü Ci's hand.
Lu Ci's sudden action drew everyone's attention. He pulled Xu Xin over and put his hand on Xu Xin's shoulder, just like a good brother who hadn't seen each other for many years.
"Master, since we cannot cooperate, we will take our leave! But I feel an irresistible connection with Brother Xu. Master, could you lend it to us for a while so we can get to know each other better?"
