C378 Meeting
When he arrived outside the patriarch's house, Liu Zong was blocked outside and only Lin Long was allowed to enter.
After entering, Lin Long found that there were four people inside, but he did not recognize any of them other than the Ninth Uncle.
Sitting in the middle was a middle-aged man with a serious face. Lin Long could feel that when he walked in, the other party was glaring at him. According to the other party's sitting posture and the attitude the other party had towards him, Lin Long guessed that the person should be the Patriarch of the Liu Family.
The person on the left looked friendly and friendly, and when he saw Lin Long, he had a slight smile on his face. He looked similar to Liu Ruolan, and Lin Long guessed that he was Liu Ruolan's father.
The person on the right had a haughty look on his face. Presumably, he was someone from the Lu Family.
When the Ninth Uncle sitting to the right saw Lin Long enter, he smiled and pointed at the three people beside him and introduced them, "Lin Long, this is the patriarch of our Liu Family. This is the young master of the Lu Family, third uncle, Lu Bing.
Indeed, it was as he had expected.
"Greetings, seniors." Lin Long bowed.
"Lin Long, you came here today to tell you that Ruo Lan is already engaged to the young master of the Lu family, so you shouldn't have any interactions with Ruo Lan anymore." Looking at Lin Long, the patriarch of the Liu Family, Liu Zheng Yun said.
His tone was cold, and Lin Long was not surprised by his attitude, because the other party's adopted son had most likely died because of him, so no matter who it was, the other party would definitely harbor some ill will towards him.
Although Lin Long understood it to be true, he did not like the words of the other party.
Although he had always seen Liu Ruolan as his younger sister, Liu Ruolan had never told him about this young master of the Lu family. He clearly didn't have any intentions towards this young master of the Lu family, so why would he allow Liu Ruolan to marry someone that she wasn't willing to marry?
Moreover, Liu Ruolan already had that kind of skin and skin relationship with him, it was equivalent to half of his woman.
So he immediately shook his head, "Clan leader, that's not right. I treat Ruo Lan as my little sister, we can't even see her. Moreover, I have to ask Ruo Lan about this, we can't allow her to get married in such a muddled manner."
Liu Zheng Yun did not like Lin Long from the start, but after hearing what Lin Long said, his face immediately darkened, "Lin Long, are you the Clan Leader or am I the Patriarch? Do you need me to agree to the rules set by the elders?"
"Lin Long, we know that you saved Ruo Lan, and we know that you have done a great favor for Ruo Lan towards her. However, the matter of marriage has always been the family's greatest priority, and for the sake of our family's prosperity and for the sake of our tribe's future, we had no choice but to make such a decision. We hope that you understand, and we hope that you can let go of the perseverance in your heart as well."
"No, Uncle Zhengzhou, I have to ask Ruo Lan about this." Lin Long immediately shook his head.
Patriarch Liu Zheng Yun was furious, he immediately slapped his hand on the table beside him, "Lin Long, we only called you out to inform you about this matter, why are you not in charge? You can leave now."
"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! I really did not expect an outsider like you to be so daring. Let me test your capabilities." Lu Bing said in a strange tone.
After he finished speaking, he actually immediately activated crescent-shaped force and attacked Lin Long.
This was the Liu Family's territory, the home of Patriarch Liu Zheng Yun. Lu Bing did not even say anything before directly attacking Lin Long, which made the Liu Family members' faces turn ugly.
They wanted to stop Lu Bing's attack. After all, Lin Long was now a member of their Liu Family. If there were any casualties, the Liu Family would not have any face.
However, Lu Bing's attack was too sudden, so they didn't have enough time to block it.
In the blink of an eye, the crescent-shaped force had smashed onto Lin Long's body.
With a "bang", Lin Long was directly smashed outside the door, if not for the fact that he was smashed in the direction of the door, the stone house would probably have collapsed.
Liu Zhengyun and Liu Zhengzhou rushed out.
What made them dumbstruck was, when they rushed out, Lin Long had already stood up from the ground, and looked like he was fine.
How was this possible?
The two of them looked at each other. They had clearly seen that Lu Bing's attack was too sudden, and Lin Long had barely managed to erect a protective shield. How could this protective shield withstand such a powerful attack?
Ninth Uncle was also surprised. Although he had seen Lin Long's tyrannical body, Guo Xiuqi's strength was not comparable to Lu Bing's.
At the same time that they were shocked, they naturally heaved a sigh of relief as well. If there really was something wrong with Lin Long, it would be hard for them to explain it to the people in the clan.1
Lu Bing, who had walked out in the end, had an ugly expression on his face. This kid was completely unharmed despite his heavy attacks. Where did he put his face?
"Brat, you seem to be quite capable. Try taking another palm from me." After he finished speaking, he actually wanted to make a move again.
At this moment, how could Liu Zhengyun and the other two let him do anything. They directly stood in front of him to block him.
"Lu Bing, right? I remember that I'll definitely return the blow today." With that, Lin Long turned and left.
A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him, he knew that he was not a match for his opponent at the moment, so Lin Long was not stupid enough to fight his opponent.
Seeing him leave, Liu Zong who was already dumbstruck had quickly followed.
After a moment of surprise, Lu Bing burst into laughter. "Hahaha, kid, you're crazy. I, Lu Bing, will sit at the Lu Family and see what you can do to me."
He did not place Lin Long in his eyes at all, it had been countless years of hard work for him to have the strength he had today, how could Lin Long keep up in such a short amount of time?
"Lin Long, why did you start a conflict with Lu Bing?" Liu Zong anxiously asked.
This Liu Zong is not only a core member of the Lu Family, he also has the strength of a First Rated Warrior, how could he not be worried?
"Don't worry, he won't be able to do anything to me." Lin Long said lightly.
You can't put it like that, he's a First Rated Warrior, and he's also one of the core members of the Lu family. He didn't even need to make a move to make others come and cause trouble for you, and the most important thing is that he's a vengeful person. Liu Zong had a face full of worry.
Knowing that he could not reassure Liu Zong, Lin Long decided to change the topic, "Ruo Lan and the young master of the Lu family are engaged right now. When will they get married?"
"According to the customs of the tribe, they will be married two months after the engagement." Liu Zong said.
Two months, is neither a long or short period of time. Looks like I have to make some progress in analyzing the rune apparatus within these two months, Lin Long thought.
Originally, according to the previous method, with just a few improvements on the rune apparatus, it should be able to accommodate a strong cultivator like him. Only recently he realised that such an improvement was not possible, the purple crystal did not match his improved rune apparatus well, but he did not know the exact reason.
However, he naturally would not give up on his research on the rune apparatus, let alone at such a critical juncture.
He believed that with his ability, he would definitely be able to find a way.
