Chapter 191 Reactions from Various Parties

This person's cultivation level should be at the peak of the Void Breaking stage, which is not considered weak.

But without transcending the mundane, one can only remain a slave to others.

A small scar at the corner of his eye was twitching.

His fists were clenched tightly, and veins bulged.

Zhao Li smiled as she watched this scene.

Back in the small world, Lu Yuan had the support of the Great Qin Dynasty, which allowed him to gradually reach the peak, but now no one is protecting him.

Let's see who else can save him today.

Many people looked over. Monk looked at his ancestor as if he was saying something, but the other party frowned and did not speak.

Just then, the Zhao family servant who had approached him came to Lu Yuan's side: "Boy, come with me to the Zhao family. We won't touch you now."

Otherwise, you'll be in trouble when I make my move.

To the ordinary people in the shantytown, an outer disciple was a formidable figure.

But the Zhao family was able to resolve the issue.

Lu Yuan didn't move, staring at him without speaking, but instead said towards the hall, "Grandpa, the Zhao family wants to take me away. Aren't you going to say something?"

Zhang Heng once said that.

After obtaining the talisman, she will take care of Lu Yuan when necessary.

Now he wants to see if the other party will honor their promise.

The courtyard quieted down, and even the patriarch of the Zhao family frowned when he heard Lu Yuan call out the name of the Zhang family head.

After all, dealing with an ordinary outer disciple is manageable, but if Lu Yuan really has some connection with the Zhang family, then today's events will be quite troublesome.

However, this person's surname is clearly Lu, and he is not from the Zhang family. He has only been here for a few days, so how did he get involved?

Zhao Li, however, recalled the results of her investigation into Lu Yuan's identity.

A pang of guilt shot through him. If the Zhang family really had some connection with the Zhang family in the small world, that would be a real problem.

At that moment, Zhang Heng also stood up.

At this moment, Meng Tong also looked outside. Although she didn't know what was going on, she could tell that it was related to Lu Yuan.

If that's the case, then she has no choice but to intervene.

After all, not only was Lu Yuan brought by him, but more importantly, he had already transcended the mortal realm and possessed extraordinary talent.

Compared to the Zhao family, Lu Yuan is clearly more valuable.

Even if we don't consider that aspect, she is closer to Lu Yuan, after all, the Zhao family has some ties with her grandfather, but they are not familiar with her.

However, Meng Tong was puzzled as to why Lu Yuan didn't ask him for help but instead chose the Zhang family head, who was just a mere servant, given Lu Yuan's current strength.

Even against the entire Zhao family, they might not be without the power to fight back.

But then, Zhang's words made Meng Tong understand everything.

"Patriarch Zhang, you said you would announce our Zhang family's identity to the public and provide protection if necessary. You didn't just say that, did you?"

Lu Yuan's re-speaking surprised everyone present.

This young man was actually from the Zhang family.

Even many of Zhang family disciples looked over.

Zhang Heng stood up and said calmly, "I did acknowledge that I would announce your Zhang family identity, but you are really unruly. You have just arrived here and you have already caused trouble everywhere."

"You should handle your own affairs. The Zhang family will protect its members, but it won't protect its despicable offspring, especially since you're not even a formal disciple of my family."

He would never make an enemy of the Zhao family because of Lu Yuan.

If it were those Void Breaking experts from the shantytowns targeting Lu Yuan at this moment, he might have helped them out.

But the Zhao family is a similar entity to their clan.

If you provoke them, it could be a real problem.

Moreover, Zhang Ke has already become an outer disciple.

He naturally wanted to ignore Lu Yuan even more.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan nodded: "So, the Zhang family doesn't want to acknowledge me as a member of their family?"

"You can interpret it that way," Zhang Heng replied coldly, then sat down without saying anything more.

At this moment, Meng Tong understood why Lu Yuan had called out to Zhang Heng.

He may have anticipated Zhang Heng's reaction, but he still asked the question in order to sever the last ties with the Zhang family.

To avoid the other party sticking to them after the news of their entry into the outer gate gets out.

Since they will eventually be from the same sect, if Lu Yuan comes along like this, even if the Zhang family tries to use moral blackmail, probably no one will stand on the Zhang family's side.

This will not affect Lu Yuan's reputation.

After all, quite a few people came today, and the news will spread quickly.

Meng Tong couldn't help but secretly applaud this.

Within the sect, the moral character of disciples is highly valued.

If Lu Yuan is labeled as not recognizing his clan, which master will still wholeheartedly train him in the future?

Now, one less problem has been solved.

Lu Yuan glanced at Zhang Heng and slowly said, "Fine, since the old man is so heartless, then I will no longer cling to the Zhang family, and we will have nothing to do with each other from now on."

After saying that, he looked at Zhao Li: "You're the one who wanted to attack me, aren't you?"

He turned to Lu Yuan and said, "Since you know, then come with me."

After Zhao Li finished speaking, Lu Yuan still hadn't moved. We highly recommend this book to you: *From Border Army to Martial Emperor*, available here.

Meng Ke, who had been talking to the Meng family patriarch, stood up and said, "Zhao Li, back in our hometown, you tried every means to harm Lu Yuan in order to establish your son's authority. Now that he's doing well in Da Qin, you're unhappy about it."

Now that you're here, you're still clinging to the past, aren't you?

As long as I'm here today, Lu Yuan won't go with you.

After he finished speaking, he looked at the Meng family patriarch standing to the side.

Although the latter looked unhappy, he clearly did not support Monk standing up for Lu Yuan.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Having already said that, he cleared his throat and said, "Patriarch Zhao, could you spare this young man for my sake?"

"I'm sorry, Patriarch Meng, but this person has a blood feud with my junior. We must take him away today," Patriarch Zhao said calmly.

If Lu Yuan were a member of the Zhang family, he might ask for some benefits, since it wouldn't be worth it for either side to start a war.

However, Lu Yuan clearly has no connection with the Meng family, only some involvement with their juniors. If I insist, given the personality of the Meng family patriarch, he might not continue to protect Lu Yuan.

Moreover, if he were to back down after hearing just one sentence from the other party, it would make him seem too incompetent.

The patriarch of the Meng family looked at Meng Ke with a helpless expression.

He was clearly saying that he had done his best, but the Zhao family was not giving him face.

But Monk was clearly a seasoned veteran, and he stepped forward to block Lu Yuan's path: "Ancestor, if you don't save him today, I won't leave either, and I'll come with you to the Zhao family."

His words made the Meng family patriarch both angry and anxious.

Monk has good talent and has the potential to enter the outer sect, and he is a direct descendant of their lineage.

We can't let him do whatever he wants.

Lu Yuan watched this scene with a look of emotion on his face.

He patted the other person on the shoulder and said, "Thanks, I'll handle this. I'll invite you for drinks tomorrow."

Lu Yuan didn't mention a specific time earlier, but this time he said he would meet with Monk tomorrow, which clearly shows that he has further recognized Monk's abilities.

At this moment, Meng Tong, who had been sitting in the living room, also stood up.

Because she knew it was time for her to speak.

Then, he slowly stood up, gazed at everyone in the room, and said, "Everyone, Lu Yuan is a good friend of mine. He only came to the banquet today because of me."

Therefore, if anyone is dissatisfied, I, Meng Tong, will take full responsibility.

After she finished speaking, she looked at the head of the Zhao family.

The latter's lips twitched; Meng Tong's tone was too firm.

They didn't give him a chance to say anything more.

He might dare to confront other families, but he didn't have the guts to do so when facing Meng Tong.

The other party's grandfather was an inner disciple.

Thinking of this, he clasped his hands in a fist and said to Meng Tong, "Miss Meng, I was reckless today. The younger generation in my family did not know their place. I will definitely come to apologize another day."

Then, looking at Zhao Li, he said, "Let's go."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked out of the courtyard.

Although Zhao Li felt resentful, he had no choice but to follow.

The head of the Meng family looked at Meng Ke, then at Lu Yuan, gently stroking his beard, a smile seemingly appearing on his lips.

Regardless of the circumstances, the fact that Lu Yuan could be associated with Meng Tong is enough to show that he is no ordinary person.

Therefore, he waved to let Monk come to his side.

Then he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well done, you didn't disgrace the Meng family. You should be sincere to your friends."

Then, he looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Young brother, I'll head back now. You're welcome to come to the Meng family for a drink anytime."

After saying that, she pulled Monk outside.

Seeing that Lu Yuan's crisis had been resolved, the latter stopped resisting and craned his neck towards Lu Yuan, saying, "Remember to come find me for a drink, okay?"

After both families left.

Zhang Heng opened his mouth as if to say something, but after meeting Lu Yuan's cold eyes, he ultimately chose to remain silent.

At this moment, he was also filled with doubt and uncertainty.

I don't know why Lu Yuan, who has just arrived in the Desolate Ancient World, is being protected by Meng Tong like this.

Logically speaking, this situation should not occur.

However, Lu Yuan ignored him and instead asked Meng Tong, "Senior Sister, shall we go?"

"Well, the banquet is over now, let's go." Meng Tong nodded.

After bowing to Zhang Heng, he took the gifts prepared by Zhang Heng and left with Lu Yuan.

After the two figures left the mansion.

Zhang Heng turned to a family disciple standing beside him and said, "Go and investigate this Lu Yuan thoroughly. Since he is a member of the Zhang family, why is his surname Lu? Most importantly, what is the relationship between Meng Tong and him?"

Why am I helping him so much today?

After all, the Zhao family has been operating for so many years and has powerful backers within the sect.

But Meng Tong's words today were too firm.

This made the Zhao family head dare not test the waters any further, for fear of actually causing a conflict between the two sides.

At that point, there would be no way to salvage the situation.

Although the Meng family will suffer losses, the Zhao family will surely perish.

He dared not gamble.

"Yes, Ancestor." The disciple replied and then hurriedly left.

After leaving, both the Zhao and Meng families immediately arranged for people to investigate Lu Yuan's recent situation.
