Under One Person: The Seeker of the Dao in the Lü Family

Chapter 183 Patriarch Lü: I don't have any illegitimate children either.

"Father, you've been having an affair behind Mother's back?"

Lu Ci's loud shout startled the four people who were stunned on the windowsill, but before they could speak, Lu Ci's other shout stunned them again.

"This young Taoist priest is named Lü Qian!"

When the name Lü Qian was called out, the Lü family head, who was about to speak, instantly recalled his past romantic affairs.

A man who is not romantic in his youth has wasted his youth. As the head of a noble family, he was naturally experienced in many battles in his youth, but he never made it to the final step.

For those who practice martial arts, yang energy and kidney essence are still very important. You can look at it, but you can't actually do it.

A moment later, the head of the Lü family, who hadn't finished bringing up old grievances, suddenly realized that he had been so angry that he had actually followed Lü Ci's words and started thinking about his own past romantic affairs.

Realizing what had happened, he pointed at Lü Ci and cursed, "You little brat, your father is upright. Just wait until we get back, I'll teach you a lesson!"

"As for this Lü Qian..."

The head of the Lü family turned to look at Lü Qian, who was riding a white tiger. Looking at the other man's appearance, which was very similar to that of his two sons, he really didn't know what to say.

The Wang family head, who was standing to the side, noticed the Lu family head's embarrassment. He looked at Lu Qian with some curiosity and spoke up to help his old friend out of the predicament.

"Hey Lü Qian, you're dressed pretty well. Which mountain did you come from?"

"I am Xuan Yang Daoist of Wudang, riding a tiger down the mountain to vanquish the demon."

Lu Qian, with a smile on his face, looked at the four people who emerged from the window, holding his whisk. "As for my origins, I am from the Lu family of Qilu."

Upon hearing his answer, the previously smiling Wang family head immediately stopped smiling, looked at the Lü family head with a strange expression, and whispered something.

"Brother Lü, this really is someone from your family. Speaking of which, you've been seeing other people behind your sister-in-law's back. Don't you know how to be discreet? Your child is already so big."

"Judging from his appearance, he's about the same age as my nephew Lü Renxian. You're being too unrefined."

Patriarch Wang clicked his tongue in amazement, never expecting that the always upright Brother Lü would play such a trick.

"This child isn't mine... By the way, Brother Wang, do you remember the news that circulated from Longhu Mountain before?"

The head of the Lu family, helplessly covering his head, was about to explain when, in a flash, he seemed to have thought of something and changed the subject, asking in a low voice.

"Lü Qian, Lü Qian, right, could it be the Celestial Master's disciple who went down the mountain to deliver the ordination certificates?"

"He looks like it. Let's call him up and ask him. I suspect there's more to it than meets the eye."

"OK."

The two family heads, Wang and Lü, exchanged a few glances, then looked down and said, "Young Brother Lü Qian, would you mind coming up for a chat and having a simple meal with us?"

"Do you have braised pork knuckle?"

Riding on his white tiger, Lü Qian's eyes lit up. He had never tasted the old craftsmanship from a hundred years ago, and he wondered how the crystal pork knuckle tasted now.

Moreover, his words just now had splashed a lot of dirty water on his great-grandfather, so he had to go up and explain.

"Yes, we have plenty of pork knuckle, and shark fin soup if you want."

"Alright, thank you both. Tiger, let's go. I'll treat you to a good meal today."

"roar!"

With a smile, Lü Qian waved his whisk, and the white tiger beneath him strode into the restaurant, rushing into the private room of the Wang and Lü families, its figure as swift as the wind.

Upon entering the private room, the two groups took a closer look. For some reason, the head of the Lü family felt a sense of kinship upon seeing Lü Qian.

"You may leave now."

The head of the Wang family removed his son, Wang Ai, from his neck and cleared out all the remaining people present, leaving only the two family heads and Lü Qian.

"yes!"

Seeing that something was amiss, Lü Ren led Wang Ai and the others away.

"Squeak—"

After the door was closed, the head of the Wang family moved his sleeve, and a white jade brush emerged, drawing several large characters for "seal" in the air.

These "seal" characters flew swiftly toward the doors and windows, instantly forming a barrier of light ink and mist.

After doing all this, the Wang family head turned to look at Lü Qian, only to see the man and the tiger acting as if they were strangers, feasting on the table.

Half of the food on the table was devoured in the blink of an eye by the two gaping maws.

"Hey, this eating style is just like someone from the Wang family. Lü Qian, give us a heads-up, where are you from?"

Upon hearing this, the head of the Lü family also came to his senses. He stared at Lü Qian, but his eyes could not muster any fierceness.

Lu Qian picked up a napkin to wipe the grease from his mouth, tossed the large bone in his hand aside, and said with a smile.

"Lu Qian of the Lu family greets his two great-great-grandfathers!"

"What, great-great-grandfather?"

Wang and Lü immediately stood up in shock, various thoughts swirling in their eyes. After a moment, they looked at each other in disbelief, as if they had realized something.

Their pupils trembled uncontrollably, as if they never imagined that the stories passed down from their ancestors would one day come true.

As a family with a history spanning thousands of years, sometimes the history they have traversed is their deepest foundation.

The Great Dream of Reincarnation—these are stories of those patriarchs and immortals, which these families have even witnessed firsthand, and some have even participated in!

The reason why immortals in history could still appear in the mortal world after their ascension to immortality is precisely this.

The two family heads seemed to see a peaceful future in Lü Qian's dashing and unrestrained figure, and they immediately laughed.

They know their descendants are doing well, and that's enough for them.

The struggles of our predecessors are so that future generations can stand taller and walk more steadily.

They looked at Lü Qian with the gentleness of two elders, their eyes gradually concealing their shock with affection.

"Eat slowly, don't choke. I'll order you another pot of tea right away."

"Yes, yes, great-grandson, if that's not enough, Grandfather Wang will give you some more. And your mount, this is not enough for you."

Wang and Lü looked at Lü Qian as if he were some rare treasure. They slowly sat down and showered Lü Qian with concern and care.

"Thank you both, great-grandfathers."

Lu Qian seemed to turn into a child as well. He reached out and took the other pork knuckle from the Wang family head, and started gnawing on it with his big mouth.

"Eat slowly. Looking at you like this, I'm starting to suspect that the Lü family is going to decline and won't even be able to afford a decent meal."

The head of the Lü family, masking his shock with a joke, asked with a smile, "Great-grandson, which lineage do you belong to? Are you from the eldest son's line, or the second son's?"

"My great-grandfather was Lü Ci. As for my great-grandfather Ren Da, he unfortunately perished. I have come here today to create a different Lü family."

Lu Qian quickly finished a pork knuckle and said, "Great-grandfather, I'll be heading to the Northeast after this meal. Take care, you and the Lu family."

As he spoke, he buried his head in his food again, and the white tiger beside him glanced at the two shocked family heads and also started licking the plate.

"Boss, the boss..."

The hand holding the wine glass trembled uncontrollably. In the original story, he was so grief-stricken by the death of his eldest son that he lay on his bed and became completely despondent.

"Brother Lü, don't worry. Nephew Lü Renxian is still fine. This time, let's send more men. I don't believe we can't defeat those damned Japanese."

The head of the Wang family pressed down on the trembling hand of the head of the Lü family, "Then we'll spend more money to buy dozens of guns, and also buy a flying metal shell. If we can't win, we can still run away."

"Damn it, if we can't compete with others, we'll compete with our family wealth!"
