Under One Person: Sincerity Moves the Gods

Chapter 47 Lu Jin's Nervousness

The Lu family's inner room.

Apart from the eldest old man, Mr. Lu, who had already gone back to rest.

The elders from each family gathered here.

Many of them were old friends who hadn't seen each other for years, and now that they finally had the chance to get together, they naturally shared a drink.

After a few rounds of drinks, these people all had a hint of alcohol on their faces.

Among them, the head of the Wang family drank the most heartily, his nose and cheeks were already red.

He listened to the noise from the younger generation outside the door and peeked at Lu Xuan.

"Brother Lu, Brother Lu!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan looked over and asked.

"Brother Wang?"

The head of the Wang family did not answer directly. He turned around, placed one hand on the table, and leaned against it, facing the younger generation in the courtyard.

"Brother Lu, Master Zuo, Celestial Master, everyone look!"

Everyone's attention was drawn to him, and they looked over.

The courtyard was bustling with noise, and the younger generation was having a great time. The young people were full of energy, some making merry, some drinking, and some competing with each other, displaying a variety of behaviors.

Lu Xuan watched for a while, somewhat puzzled.

"What's wrong?"

The head of the Wang family let out a burp and laughed.

"Look how interesting these little guys are!"

"What do you want to say, Brother Wang?"

Lu Xuan pressed for an answer.

"Shall we let them have their fun tomorrow?"

The head of the Wang family asked tentatively.

"Playing around? Brother Wang, what do you mean?"

Lu Xuan asked again.

"It's rare to see so many prominent families gathered together," the Wang family head explained, then let out a hiccup. "Hiccup~ How about we let these juniors give us a little practice?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan looked somewhat troubled.

"Brother Wang...this..."

He and Lu Jin shared similar thoughts, both believing that it was inappropriate to take action on Old Master Lu's birthday.

But the head of the Wang family waved his hand dismissively.

"Hey! Everyone knows that the Lu family members are all outstanding individuals, especially your son Lu Jin, who is even more remarkable."

"Since everyone's here, let's make Jin'er famous!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the head of the Lü family.

"Right, Lao Lü!"

The head of the Lü family nodded upon hearing this.

That little mad dog of mine is always causing trouble; it's time to let him meet some real experts from the outside world.

Thinking it over, he echoed the Wang family head's words.

"Old Lu, let my two little puppies learn from the young master, let them see what it's like to be a peer, so they won't be so arrogant all the time!"

Lu Xuan was still somewhat hesitant and looked at Zuo Ruotong.

"Master Zuo, what do you think of this...?"

Upon hearing this, Zuo Ruotong and the Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing exchanged a glance.

There was a hint of a smile in their eyes.

They each had a prodigy disciple in their own family, a disciple whose elders were almost unable to control him, fearing that he would become arrogant. Therefore, before attending the birthday banquet, they arranged for the two of them to compare themselves.

So that they will not underestimate the heroes of the world.

However, this was, after all, the Lu family's home ground, and it was also a birthday banquet, so they were worried about how to start the conversation.

Now that the Wang family head has brought this up, it's like a pillow being delivered to someone who's sleepy.

In my mind.

Zuo Ruotong smiled slightly at Lu Xuan.

"Mr. Lu, to be honest, I have a disciple who is Lu Jin's senior brother. He is quite talented and has a good temperament. Logically, I shouldn't have any complaints."

"However, his cultivation has been too smooth along the way, and I am worried that he will suffer because of this in the future. I am thinking of finding a genius of the same generation to fight him, so that he can know what defeat tastes like."

"So, let the younger generation have some fun, I don't see anything wrong with that."

Lu Xuan hadn't expected that Zuo Ruotong shared the same idea, so he could only look at Zhang Jingqing with his last hope.

"Master, what do you think?"

Zhang Jingqing laughed out loud.

"Master Zuo and I are thinking the same thing. I also have a disciple who is doing well in all his studies and is progressing smoothly on his cultivation path. I have given him pointers several times, but my words are always ineffective. I need to find someone to give him a good talking-to!"

Seeing that everyone present had agreed.

Lu Xuan was helpless.

"That's true. It's not easy to get together like this, so it's good to have some fun. Here's what I'll do: I'll go ask the old man. If he agrees, then it's settled."

Everyone laughed when they heard him say that.

"Hey! Mr. Lu, what kind of head of the family are you!"

Lu Xuan sighed.

"Sigh~ The day after the old man's birthday, he got into a fight at home... I'm worried he'll be unhappy!"

Everyone knew Lu Xuan's personality and didn't really think anything of him, so they laughed and then stopped talking.

Afterwards, Lu Xuan left to find Old Master Lu.

As people get older, they need less sleep.

The same goes for Old Master Lu.

So he went back to his room early not because he was tired, but because he realized that if he stayed there, Lu Xuan and the others would feel uncomfortable, and he wanted the younger generation to have fun.

Sure enough, when Lu Xuan approached, he found that the light in the old man's room was still on.

Lu Xuan knocked on the door.

"uncle."

Not long after, Old Master Lu's voice came.

"Oh, it's Xuan'er. Come in."

Lu Xuan pushed open the door and walked up to Old Master Lu.

The old man leaned against the bed, a smile playing on his lips, and closed his eyes to rest.

"What is it?"

Lu Xuan cupped his hands in greeting and then told Old Master Lu about the ideas of the Wang family head and the others.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Lu opened his eyes.

"This is great news! These are all outstanding disciples from various schools and sects; it's such a rare opportunity to bring them together! Let's get it done quickly!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Xuan again.

"Xuan'er, now that you're the head of the family, you can't let me make all the decisions. Otherwise, how can you be the head of the family?"

Lu Xuan lowered his head.

"This is your birthday banquet, and I'm afraid it will upset you."

Old Master Lu waved his hand.

"I'm overjoyed to see energetic young people showcasing themselves!"

Then he asked another question.

"How lively are you planning to be? Which families or clans will be participating?"

Lu Xuan thought for a moment and then answered.

"The Celestial Master and the Left Sect Master's top disciple will definitely come. I plan to let Jin'er get some experience as well, along with those two boys from the Lü family."

He paused, then continued.

"There aren't many people, so just find a place for them to have some fun. We can ask around later if any disciples from other sects want to participate."

Grandpa Lu nodded upon hearing this.

There were indeed too few people, making it less lively, but that's all we can do.

He was just about to send Lu Xuan down to make the arrangements.

At that moment, Lu Jin's voice came.

"Father! Uncle!"

Grandpa Lu and Lu Xuan were taken aback, not understanding why Lu Jin had come over.

Then he spoke.

"Jin'er, come in quickly!"

As soon as the words were spoken, there was the sound of the door opening and footsteps getting closer and closer.

Lu Jin walked to the two of them and bowed to them in turn.

The old man was delighted to see Lu Jin and asked with a smile, "Jin'er, what's the matter?"

Lu Jin felt a little awkward and hesitated before speaking.

"My senior brother Li Cunzhen, my junior brother Li Muxuan, and Lü Ren and Lü Ci from the Lü family."

"Old Master Lu asked."

"What happened to them?"

Lu Jin blushed and continued.

"They said...they said they wanted to have a competition, just as a performance for the old man."

The old man smiled and continued to ask.

"Oh? I remember your fellow disciples were always cultivating in seclusion on the mountain. How come they're suddenly so close to this kid from the Lü family?"

It is said that people become shrewd with age, and Lu Jin is someone who cannot lie.

Old Master Lu could tell at a glance that Lu Jin was definitely hiding something.
