Under One Person: In the Lü Family, Liver Becomes Supreme

Looking at Lü Ci in this state, Lü Xin's eyes flashed with a hint of bewilderment. He smiled gently, said nothing more, and reached out to pat Lü Ci's head.

It must be said that Lü Ci is a wicked and ruthless man who can disregard morality for the sake of the Lü family's interests and his brothers.

But as a brother, Lü Xin felt very reassured, and his tone became unusually serious.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. If you really need to do anything in the future, I hope you'll remember to discuss it with me and Brother Ren first."

Lu Ci patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, Sixth Brother, I trust you and Ren the most. Ren is knowledgeable and smart, and you are not only smart but also strong. I only respect the two of you in our family."

Although what he said made no problem, it felt strange for some reason.

Just then, a soft laugh rang out.

"Oh, so our seventh brother has really grown up, he doesn't even listen to Father anymore?"

The two turned their heads and saw that the person who walked in was Lü Ren, the eldest son of the Lü family.

The eldest son of the Lü family was still dressed in plain clothes, with a gentle expression.

"Cough cough."

Lu Ci coughed awkwardly twice, quickly trying to cover up his earlier words: "Brother, you didn't understand what I meant. What I meant was that among our generation, the two of you are the ones I trust the most. I can't compare to you in terms of intelligence or strength."

"Anyway, from now on, I only have one word for my younger brother: whatever you two tell me to do, I will do; whoever you tell me to kill, I will kill; and whoever provokes the Lü family, I will kill."

"Sixth Brother, you can't say things like that outside. Our Lü family is a reputable and righteous family. Apart from those beasts from Quanxing, we can't kill anyone else indiscriminately."

Helpless, Lü Ren began to lecture his younger brother. He had no way to deal with his brother's mindset. Anyway, with him and Lü Xin around, he wouldn't have to worry about controlling him in the future.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Lü Xin patted Lü Ci on the shoulder and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, that's right, Brother Ren is right. Seventh Brother, you need to understand that the martial world isn't just about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social interactions. By the way, Brother Ren, did something happen at home that you came back early this time?"

He remembered that Lü Ren had been sent out to gain experience, specifically to familiarize himself with the various businesses of the Lü family in preparation for becoming the head of the family in the future.

Judging from the current timing, it seems he was recalled ahead of schedule.

Upon hearing this, Lü Ci immediately realized what was happening, casually stuffed a piece of fruit into his mouth, and asked while chewing.

"Yeah, Ren-ge... why did you come back early?"

"Something happened outside, so Father asked me to come back early. Also, Father instructed me to have both of you come with me to the main hall, as there are important family matters to discuss."

Lu Ren's expression became unusually serious as he glanced at the watch on his hand.

"It's almost time. Let's go. I'll explain what happened to you two on the way."

That shouldn't be the case. I remember that nothing major happened during this period in the comic.

Lu Xin stroked his chin, recalling the events carefully.

With Lü Ren's explanation along the way, I finally understood what was going on.

During this period, many foreigners entered the mainland.

Among them, many restless foreign supernatural beings set up arenas in various places under the guise of martial arts friendship, welcoming supernatural beings from all schools of the mainland to come and challenge them.

At first, the mainland thought it was just a normal sparring match, but as many martial arts masters were injured on stage, the various schools gradually realized that something was wrong.

Many powerful foreign superhumans, relying on their strength, made boastful remarks on the arena, wantonly mocking the weakness of the mainlanders.

Upon realizing that something was amiss, the various sects immediately held discussions and formulated a series of countermeasures.

That's what we were talking about at today's lobby meeting.

With Lü Ren's explanation along the way, the three of them arrived at the largest ancestral hall at the back of the Lü family compound.

The bluestone path winds its way from the alley entrance to the ancestral hall, its surface smoothed and shiny by a century of wind and rain. Two ancient cypress trees stand before the steps, their branches stretching out like halberds, blocking out half the sunlight.

The vermilion gate, though half-faded in paint, still retained its weight and solidity. The bronze door knocker, shaped like a mythical beast holding a pearl, was polished to a high shine and made a deep, resonant sound when knocked upon.

Above the gate hangs a large plaque with gold characters on a black background, inscribed with the four characters "Lü Clan Ancestral Hall," written in a vigorous and powerful style.

Upon entering, the first thing that catches the eye is countless memorial tablets, all belonging to the ancestors of the Lü family.

The memorial tablets are all made of sandalwood, arranged in order of size and seniority, with the founding ancestor at the front, whose tablet is tall, and the subsequent descendants' tablets arranged in order, small and neat.

In front of each memorial tablet is an ever-burning oil lamp, its flame ever bright and never extinguished. The oil is replenished daily by the eldest son of the clan, a tradition passed down through generations without interruption.

Upon arriving here, the expressions of Lü Xin and the other two became very solemn. They each took three long incense sticks and bowed respectfully.

Behind these memorial tablets is the main hall where the Lü family holds their meetings.

Every time the family holds a meeting, all eligible members of the Lü family must first pay homage to the ancestral tablets to cleanse their minds and ensure that their words and actions thereafter are for the benefit of the Lü family.

Inside the lobby, chairs are arranged in a circle and spread outwards.

Upon entering the main hall, many elders of the Lü family were already seated.

Seeing this, Lü Xin exchanged a glance with the two people beside him, and without daring to delay, they all sat down in their respective seats.

It is worth mentioning that the Lü family places particular emphasis on outstanding younger disciples, so the three of them are all positioned relatively high up.

Among the younger generation of the Lü family, only these three were qualified to sit here.

Once everyone had arrived, the family head, Lü Qiran, didn't linger any longer. He stood up and waved his hand.

Instantly, the two Lu family disciples standing at the door closed the doors of the main hall, and the light inside the hall dimmed slightly.

"Alright, everyone who is qualified to attend the meeting is here. Let's get straight to the point and get to the two main matters."

Lu Qiran stood up, glanced around at the Lu family members, and then got straight to the point.

"Firstly, as you all probably know, many foreign supernatural beings have come to the mainland recently. These guys have set up arenas and challenged and boasted themselves at will. Many of them are Japanese pirates, and the rest were invited by them at great expense."

"I don't need to say more, everyone probably understands the purpose."

Upon hearing this, cold snorts and curses came from the elders below.

"Damn it, this tiny country dares to act wildly here."

"No need to say more, let them fight if they want to. Do they really think we're afraid of these Japanese pirates?"

"Such actions suggest that a real war is not far off."

Lu Xin let out a soft breath and leaned back in his chair.

With only a year left until the Japanese invasion of the mainland, the island nation's high-profile actions were clearly preparation for the ensuing war.

An extraordinary person makes friends through martial arts, setting up a arena. Hmm, that sounds like a good excuse.

In reality, they wanted to use this action to imprint a powerful image of themselves in the minds of mainlanders.

If the mainland is unable to withstand the onslaught, the consequences will be enormous. If these foreign superhumans truly run rampant, the impact on the morale of the entire mainland will be significant, and it will also affect the actual war later on.
