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

As the last word fell, the entire venue fell into an eerie silence.

On the contrary, Lü Qiushan, who was sitting at the very front, shook his head and chuckled, his tone full of emotion.

"It seems that we old folks are really getting old. We're too concerned about the future and have lost the spirit of our ancestors. We're not as driven as the younger generation."

These words immediately drew wry smiles and agreement from the other elders.

"Uncle Qiu is right. Sigh, as people get older, they start to worry about the future and overthink things."

"Hmm, Xin'er is right. If we back down this time, what will we do in similar situations in the future? Will we have to back down again? If we back down this time, won't my Lü family be seen as living off women?"

"That's right. My Lu family rose to power as a powerful clan, and we cannot lose the spirit of our ancestors. So this time, I stand by Xin'er's side."

Seeing this, Lü Xin remained expressionless and turned his gaze to his uncle, Lü Qiran.

Lu Qiran, the head of the Lu family, is the one who truly makes the final decisions for the Lu family.

This head of the Lü family always remained absolutely calm, prioritizing the interests of the Lü family, and would not lose his rationality because of anything, anyone, or anything he said.

He had been in charge of the Lü family for nearly thirty years, and his political acumen and cunning were unparalleled. Calling him an old fox wouldn't be an exaggeration. Trying to persuade such a person with passionate words was wishful thinking.

Lu Qiran let out a soft breath, leaned back slightly, exchanged a glance with Lu Xin, and smiled.

"Hmm, Xin'er, that guy named Li Qingshan shouldn't have left yet, right?"

"They haven't left; they're still waiting in the room where the Lü family receives guests."

"Alright, in that case, I'll go see him."

After saying this, Lü Qiran stood up, took out his watch to check the time, and glanced at all the Lü family members present.

"Everyone, if all goes well, I will give you an answer in an hour and decide how to proceed with this matter."

Although he was interested in the collaboration, just in case, he still needed to meet with Li Qingshan again.

Lu Xin couldn't help but agree. Although Li Qingshan had sworn a solemn oath, he was still quite suspicious and uncertain. After all, it concerned the entire family, so he had to be extremely cautious.

My uncle, Lü Qiran, is a cunning old fox who has always been adept at this kind of thing and never makes any big mistakes, so I don't have to worry about it anymore.

As the patriarch left, not all the members of the Lü family in the hall left. Only a few stood up and went out to handle some business. An hour was not a long time, and they could wait.

Lu Xin sat down next to Lu Ren, picked up the teapot next to him, poured a cup of tea, and gently blew on it.

"Ren-ge, how's that kid Lü Ci doing? Any news?"

Even the usually gentle and refined Lü Ren had a hint of worry on his face at this moment, and he tapped the armrest of the chair lightly with his fingers.

"We've bribed a trustworthy person to deliver the message. For now, there's no danger to our lives, but we'll inevitably suffer some physical pain."

After saying this, the young master of the Lü family couldn't help but sigh.

"Sigh, that seventh brother's personality is really something, he does things too extremely. I've told him so many times but he won't listen. Luckily, with you and me in the younger generation to keep him in check, he won't make any mistakes in the future."

Lü Xin wholeheartedly agreed with this.

If Lü Ci is a sharp knife, then Lü Ren is its scabbard.

"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. We'll teach this kid a lesson once we get him back. By the way, Sixth Brother, how's it going at the Quanzhen Sect? Has he learned any real skills?"

"Hmm, I've learned some things. Quanzhen is indeed a great sect. Their internal alchemy method of cultivating both body and mind is powerful and profound."

Lu Xin sighed from the bottom of his heart, then seemed to remember something and continued to add.

"By the way, Ren-ge, you have good talent. You can try this path of cultivating both body and mind if you have the chance in the future."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Lü Ren shook his head and rejected it directly, his tone gentle as he looked at Lü Xin with a smile in his eyes.

"Forget it, I don't have the mind for that. There are many things at home that I need to take care of, and the Ruyi Jin is enough for me to use for a lifetime. But you, remember not to neglect your cultivation. You have great talent, don't waste it on such trivial matters."

"If you encounter any difficulties in the future that you can't solve, just tell me anytime, and your brother Ren will definitely do his best."

Bound by the deep family ties and the constant companionship they share, both sides are determined to risk everything for each other's lives.

Looking at the gentle young man before him, Lü Xin felt a surge of warmth and nodded.

"Don't worry, Ren-ge, with me here, nothing will happen to you. I will stand with the Lü family to the end."

Lü Ren is indeed the most perfect heir of the Lü family. He is gentle, reasonable, knows when to advance and retreat, and handles matters with ease.

Moreover, his strength and talent are not weak either, even stronger than Lü Ci.

Time slipped away unnoticed as we chatted.

The doors to the main hall were opened again, and the patriarch, Lü Qiran, walked in and came to the center of the hall.

"Alright, everyone, I've already verified the matter with someone, and what that kid Li Qingshan said seems to be true, so I discussed it with him and we've decided to cooperate."

Upon hearing this, all the skilled members of the Lü family present knew that a fight was about to break out, and their expressions became solemn.

After scanning everyone present, Lü Qiran continued speaking.

"After a while, Li Qingshan's father will send troops to attack Commander Chen's camp to draw all of their men away. After that, it will be our turn to make our move."

"There are two main missions this time: one is to rescue Ci'er, and the other is to kill Commander Chen. These two missions are in different locations, so we need to split into two groups. Moreover, this time we need to focus on quality over quantity; everyone who goes must be a skilled fighter."

This time, we might have to deal with firearms, and only those with exceptional skills will have a better chance of success.

The Lü family has many skilled members in the circle, nearly twenty in total. Most of them are elders of Lü Xin's previous generation. Among the younger generation, only Lü Xin, Lü Ren, and Lü Ci can truly be called skilled.

Lu Qiran took a deep breath to calm his emotions: "The most important thing this time is to make sure that Commander Chen is killed without any accidents. So, Uncle Qiu and Xin'er led their men to take action and head straight for Commander Chen's lair."

"If everything goes smoothly, the only obstacles you will face are some superhumans and a small number of soldiers beside him."

"As for Ci'er, Ren'er, take a few skilled men and go there. Also, the head of the Wang family has sent a skilled man who can use divine magic to lead our people in to rescue Ci'er. Remember to kill that county magistrate's son as well."

The Wang family and the Lü family have a good relationship, dating back to generations. It's normal for them to send a skilled person to rescue someone.

As for the subsequent murders, the Wang family will not get involved, and the Lü family will not allow anyone else to get involved.

After carefully assigning the tasks, Lü Qiran made a throat-slitting gesture with a cold expression.

"Remember, we can't be lenient this time. Leave no one involved alive. Hmph, according to Xiaozhan's intelligence, this Commander Chen is no good person. He has a history of oppressing the people and forcibly collecting taxes. Our Lü family is doing a service to the people, so don't feel guilty."
