Chapter 214 The Lu Family in Green Forest Town

A group of people from the Lu family hurried over to the war-torn inn. The Lu family head walked in front. When his eyes fell on the devastated scene of the inn, the broken walls, the huge pits blasted by the true qi, and the mottled blood on the ground, his throat rolled and he swallowed.

A chill ran through his heart. He knew that the ferocity of the battle before him was beyond the capabilities of someone of his level. Without the slightest hesitation, he waved his hand and quickly led everyone away from this troubled place.

As time passed, daybreak arrived, and the warm sunlight, like golden threads, permeated every corner of the inn. Lin Feng slowly removed his hands from Chen Yu's body, the long healing process finally over. Chen Xiner and Xu Tian remained by his side. Chen Xiner's eyes were bloodshot, and she looked exhausted, but her worried expression instantly turned to joy when she saw Chen Yu regain consciousness.

Chen Yu slowly opened his eyes, his once dull pupils gradually regaining their spirit. Chen Xiner's face blossomed into a smile as bright as a spring flower. She leaned down slightly and whispered, "Brother Yu, you're finally awake! We were so worried just now."

Lin Feng stood aside, a look of relief in his eyes, and said: "It's okay, but the revenge of Chijin Mountain must be avenged. Let's get ready and go to Chijin Mountain."

Xu Tian nodded vigorously, his eyes flashing with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, they must pay the price, otherwise I will not be able to swallow this anger."

A few of them simply packed their bags and left the inn, preparing to find a place on the street to have breakfast and relieve their tired bodies and minds.

However, as they were strolling down the street, Lu Jun, the chief elder of the Lu family, appeared like a ghost with a group of servants. The servants, dressed in uniform and marching in unison, suddenly separated neatly as they approached Lin Feng and his group, standing on either side like two rows of straight trees.

Lu Jun, with a smile that looked eerie in the sunlight, slowly approached. He laughed as he walked, a laugh that sent chills down one's spine. As he approached Lin Feng and the others, he bowed slightly and said, "Welcome, Miss Chen, to Green Forest Town." Lin Feng, Chen Xin'er, and Xu Tian exchanged puzzled glances, wondering what the Lu family's eldest elder was up to.

Lu Jun continued, "I am Lu Jun, the great elder of the Lu family in Green Forest Town. I have come here specially to invite the eldest daughter of the Chen family to visit my residence."

Chen Xiner frowned slightly, feeling a little hesitant, but still said politely, "Great Elder Lu, I've long heard of your great name. However, we still have some things to attend to, so I'm afraid it's not convenient for us to visit your residence."

Lu Jun said quickly, "Miss, this is unacceptable. Our Lu family has always admired the Chen family. When we heard that Miss had come to Green Forest Town, the head of the family specifically instructed me to invite you to a gathering at his house. If you don't go, I will be in trouble."

Chen Xiner looked at Lin Feng and Xu Tian. Lin Feng frowned slightly, feeling somewhat alert, but remained silent. Xu Tian shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Just go. We're hungry anyway, and maybe we can even get a good meal."

Chen Xiner thought for a moment and said, "Since Great Elder Lu is so enthusiastic, then we will respectfully obey your orders."

They followed Lu Jun all the way to the Lu family's gate. They were surrounded by tall, dense trees, and sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves, creating patches of light. The lush greenery seemed like a natural green barrier, and anyone unfamiliar with the area would have mistaken them for deep in the mountains.

Entering the mansion, the garden was also filled with trees, all of them rare species. Some had straight trunks that reached up to the sky, while others had branches that curved and had strange shapes. Each tree was lush and leafy. They walked into the Lu family's living room. The Lu family's head, Lu Wen, was already waiting there, as was the second elder, Lu Qi.

When Lu Wen saw Chen Xiner's beautiful face, his eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment, and a hint of ill will surged in his heart. The Lu family had no offspring so far, while the Chen family in Jinyan City had a daughter like Chen Xiner, but the Lu family was left with nothing.

Lu Wen is already in his fifties and still single. He had a wife before, but she has passed away. Even the two elders are childless and wifeless, making them a family of bachelors.

Lu Wen hurried forward, his face full of smiles, which looked very warm. He politely invited Chen Xiner to sit down, but left Lin Feng and the other three aside.

At first, Lin Feng and the others didn't pay much attention, but Lu Wen kept chatting with Chen Xiner. His voice was gentle and kind, and he said, "Miss, look at how beautiful our Lu family's environment is. We are the only large family in Lulin Town. Are you satisfied with our Lu family?"

Chen Xiner smiled politely and said, "The Lu family is well-off and the environment is indeed good."

Lu Wen continued, "I heard that you, Miss, are engaged to the Nine Phoenix Pavilion. However, I feel that the Nine Phoenix Pavilion is too dismissive of you. How could they not ask for your opinion?"

With a hint of dissatisfaction on his face, he continued, "A beautiful woman like you should find a man of equal status, such as our Lu family."

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Xiner, his eyes full of anticipation.

Lin Feng frowned, having already heard Lu Wen's intentions, and felt a little unhappy. Chen Yu also sensed Lu Wen's ill intentions, and his face darkened. However, Chen Xiner, due to her good upbringing, simply smiled and responded without showing any dissatisfaction.

On the other hand, Xu Tian, ​​who was a straightforward person, said directly: "Didn't you say you would treat us to dinner? Where's the food?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Wen and the two elders showed a hint of embarrassment on their faces. Lu Wen quickly said, "The meal is ready, but we need to move to another place to eat." Lin Feng frowned. He felt that all this was very strange, but he couldn't put his finger on what was wrong.

They followed Lu Wen into a room with a large table laden with a sumptuous meal. Lu Wen warmly invited them to sit down and eat, and then everyone in the Lu family left the room and closed the door. Xu Tian looked at the closed door, frowned, and said, "There must be something wrong."
