Lu Wansheng's vehement denials opened up a distance between them and the band of brigands.
Lu Chuan continued, "Can you guarantee that everything you said is true?"
Lu Wansheng quickly nodded, smiling helplessly, "Bandits are a bunch of people with no bottom line; they'll do anything. Using the name of our Lu family to commit misdeeds is nothing to them."
Lu Chuan scoffed, pressing further, "Do these bandits really have the audacity to rob others under the guise of the Lu family's name?"
"I don't think they have the guts. If you don't give them the opportunity, they'd never dare to do such a thing."
Lu Wansheng's face became tense as he hastily explained, "Lu Chuan, you're thinking too much. Those bandits are entrenched in the mountains, crowning themselves as kings. The Lu family wouldn't move against them unless absolutely necessary. Doing so would only waste our energy."
