Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 770 Lu Family Team, Little Flower Squad, Assemble!
"Sigh, Lao Lu, what can I say about you?"

After everyone had dispersed, the old master complained to his old friend: "Such a big thing, you should at least have told me. Now look what happened, their plan to have their disciples deal with Zhang Chulan with all their might has failed, but because of your actions, even those who didn't want to deal with Zhang Chulan have to go all out, making the kid's chances of winning even slimmer."

"I don't care about him, I don't even know this kid." Lu Jin laughed heartily, "I just can't stand those insidious old geezers. As for this kid, let's see what fate has in store for him."

"Stop talking nonsense and pay for my pavilion!"

"Oh……"

Clearly, dealing a blow to his old rival put Lu Jin in a good mood, and he was still cheerful all the way home.

"Hahaha, those old bastards, I finally tricked them!"

He kicked the door open with a bang and shouted at the door, "Lu Tong! You scoundrel Sun! Come here!"

A short while later, a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked over with a helpless expression. "Grandpa, could you please call me properly?"

"What, you're not my grandson?" Lu Jin glared and angrily retorted, "You brat, you've got some nerve now, you don't even want to acknowledge your grandfather anymore?"

"How could I deny it..." the middle-aged man named Lu Tong quickly apologized with a smile, but still muttered to himself, "I have a feeling you're holding back a curse..."

"Shut up, or I'll beat you up!" Lu Jin brandished his fist, then got down to business, "Find some people and take them down."

"Huh?" Lu Tong looked completely bewildered. "Who are you going to do this to?"

"Nonsense, those treacherous old bastards, give them a good beating. Besides, I've already promised to spread the word about the Heavenly Scroll; if they want it, they can go get it themselves." Lu Jin said matter-of-factly, "Isn't the reason we keep these people around just in case?"

"Go to war with the Wang and Lü families?" Lu Tong's expression turned serious. "Do they have enough men? Should I call Lu Lin back?"

“It’s a bit unfair of him to call me that. If our Lu family really takes first place, the Heavenly Master will definitely fight me to the death.” Lu Jin waved his hand. “Besides, this Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is actually a youth event in the world of supernatural beings. To be fair, only those under thirty years old are eligible. How old is Xiao Linzi?”

“I’m thirty-one this year, but I haven’t had my birthday yet. According to the rules, I can make it,” Lu Tong replied.

"Tsk, what a waste of a kid." Lu Jin smacked his lips and shook his head. "I personally taught him from a young age. He entered university at eighteen and is thirty-one now, and he hasn't even brought me a doctoral degree. What a disgrace. You should discipline your son properly."

"Why should I care? I'm about to lose to him anyway, how can I care?"

Lu Tong also pursed his lips, "Grandpa, I know you have high expectations for him, but aren't these a bit too high? This kid is already the most dedicated among those who entered the university in the same year. He's at the mid-stage of the second level. My dad and other seniors at the university said that you were only at this level at his age."

"Nonsense, how could they be the same? Back then, I lived in a primitive era where the cultivation levels of Reverse Life weren't even set. It was called the Third Level of Reverse Life, and it was a fake profound technique that led to certain death. What are his conditions now?" Lu Jin glared and puffed out his beard.

“That’s different. I heard that you were taught for ten years and personally brought into the second level…”

Lu's conversation stalled halfway through. He suddenly realized that the air pressure in the entire room was dropping, he felt cold, and he was having some difficulty breathing.

Across from me was my grandfather, whose eyes were starting to redden.

"Oh, Grandpa, I'll arrange for one of their teams to participate in the competition right away..." Lu Tong realized things were going badly and tried to slip away. "Bang!"

Before he could even take a step, a huge fist slammed down on him, knocking him to the floor.

"Some jokes are fine to make at home, but making them outside can get you killed." Lu Jin's voice changed from that of a nonchalant old man to icy cold.

“Oh dear, I was wrong, Grandpa…” Lu Tong’s muffled voice came from under the floor.

"Alright, you young people don't know the consequences." Lu Jin sighed and pulled his grandson up again. His attack just now was only a minor punishment. Although the future head of the Lu family hadn't learned the art of reversing life according to the Lu family's tradition, this level of attack wouldn't cause him any harm.

"So much time has passed, and even the most powerful people are just so-so now. Nowadays, we can easily name people like Zhang Daoling, Zhang Sanfeng, and Zhuge Liang, who were unparalleled in their time."

As Lu Jin spoke, her eyes grew somewhat desolate.

"Okay, Grandpa. I'll go arrange it now," Lu Tong said hurriedly.

"Wait a minute, our Lu family can't just leave out. Tell Linglong to get ready. She's not young anymore, it'll be good for her to go out and see the world," Lu Jin called from behind.

"I understand, I'll call Beijing right away." Lu Tong ran out of the old man's room as if he were fleeing.

Lu Tong ran all the way into the courtyard, still feeling a chill down his spine. Even though Lu Jin hadn't scolded him and had only given him a light punch, his grandfather's authority was deeply ingrained over the years. Even Lu Tong, the designated successor to the Lu family head, dared not easily anger his grandfather.

The old man usually had the personality of a roguish old man, but when it came to real trouble, no one in the entire Lu family dared to mess with him.

Especially when that person is mentioned.

Lu Tong let out a long breath, no longer thinking about his grandfather. Looking at the people in front of him, he instructed, "Zhi Jinhua, you are the only one who can quickly gather your people, and your people are among the best in our Lu family. This time, you will lead the team."

"Understood, Uncle Tong." The girl with glasses nodded. "But are there fewer people?"

“That’s quite a lot. You, Bai Shixue, Canglong, Yun, and Xi, that’s five. In addition, Linglong will bring Xiao Xiao back from the capital, making it seven. How many people are there in total for the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony? We can’t let our Lu family take them all,” Lu Tong said.

"Huh? Really? Linglong's coming back?" The bespectacled girl, Zhi Jinhua, jumped up immediately, her eyes beaming with joy. "That's wonderful! I never thought I'd see Linglong again, hehehehehehe..."

“Be serious, this is no simple matter. If it were before, just choosing some kind of Celestial Master would be meaningless, but now, the old man has taken out the Tongtian Talisman. If you don’t have some real skills, you won’t get through. We can’t let the Lu family become a laughing stock after we go.”

Lu Tong, with his hands behind his back, looked at the girl in front of him: "Pay attention. You know the old man. If you really win, you'll get the Tongtian Talisman too."

"Don't worry, Uncle Tong, we'll be staying at the Lu family's house for the next few days, and we'll start training today!" Zhi Jinhua said confidently, patting her chest.

Just then, a man dressed in a thin shirt, who looked like a college student, poked his head in from outside the large iron gate of the Lu family compound: "Excuse me, does Lu Jin live here?"
