"Harm the family? My mistake?" Elder Wang was dumbfounded. He didn't know what he had done and who this young man was but thinking about what Xiaojian had said to him when he summoned him, he had to believe it. Xiaojian had explained to Elder Wang how Lu Zhen had changed and that he shouldn't dwell much on it. "Young master, this lowly one doesn't know what you're talking about." said Elder Wang innocently. 'This isn't a simple change, it's a complete makeover!' he thought to himself but dared not to be disrespectful to this young man.
"Elder Wang! Even your ignorance is harmful to the family. Should I KILL OR CRIPPLE YOU!?" shouted Lu Zhen. He was furious to the extreme and he really meant what he said. Elder Wang was already sweating bullets when he felt the killing intent that Lu Zhen released. Although it wasn't as powerful as the one he released in the forest. "Have mercy Young Master!" screamed Elder Wang as he slammed his head on the ground, blood ran down the elder's forehead.
"Too..." before Lu Zhen could finish speaking, the doors opened and the elders as well as the Patriarch could be seen standing there.
They were surprised to see Elder Wang kneeling in front of Lu Zhen who was seated on the Patriarch's seat. The Patriarch as well as the elders didn't notice this as they were engrossed in Lu Zhen's appearance. He had a gaze that prevented anyone from looking at him straight in the eye, flawless looks that could charm even Immortals and Gods. He had a noble air around him that enabled him to be given respect without earning it. He sat there looking down on everyone.
The reason everyone came here was because Xiaojian was so excited after seeing that Lu Zhen was no longer a cripple that immediately after calling Elder Wang, he ran to the Patriarch's courtyard to report these joyous news.
Coincidentally, the elders were also present so they went together to see with their own eyes. Xiaojian did of course tell them that Lu Zhen had changed, that's why they were looking at him from top to bottom.
After looking for a while, they noticed Lu Zhen sitting on the Patriarch's seat and one of the elders shouted, "Lu Zhen! How dare you seat on that chair? Get down from there right now!" Lu Zhen calmly responded "It's just a chair. No need to be so dramatic." Everyone was flabbergasted by Lu Zhen's response 'It's just a chair!?'
"Lu Zhen, get down from there right now or else..." "OR ELSE WHAT!?" Lu Zhen interrupted the elder with this question as he coldly looked at him. He couldn't let such a weak person threaten him, his pride wouldn't accept it. The elder wanted to retort but he found that he couldn't voice out his words as if he said one more word then he would literally be slapped into meat paste.
"Enough! Lu Zhen, why don't you tell us what you're doing here?" The Patriarch didn't mind Lu Zhen's actions as he was his nephew and had been raising him since his parents died due to an illness. He was more curious about why the elder was kneeling in a pleading position with his body drowned in sweat.
This was his first time seeing an elder so afraid and respectful of Lu Zhen. This of course made him happy, Lu Zhen had lost his respect from the elders the day he was crippled.
"Elder Wang deserves punishment by death for wasting Lu's talent." said Lu Zhen calmly.
The elders were confused and surprised by Lu Zhen's words. To be so cruel and ruthless at such an age because of a mere servant. They were also confused when he said Lu's talent was wasted. The only talented person in this branch family was of course Lu Zhen himself. They looked at him strangely.
"Xiaojian," said Lu Zhen suddenly.
"Xiaojian?"
The elders became more confused when Lu Zhen talked about a mere servant. Seeing their expressions, Lu Zhen sighed and explained, "Xiaojian has been gifted by the heavens with the Divine Sword Constitution."
"Divine Sword Constitution?"
Lu Zhen was a bit annoyed by their lack of knowledge, "This constitution is special, their body is especially suited for the sword.
If a sword cultivator has this constitution, in the future, he will be unmatched and unparalleled. Every part of his body can be used as a sword, from a strand of his hair to a drop of his blood or sweat, of course this will be possible when he reaches a higher level in cultivation.
Meaning he won't need a sword because his body will already be one. If grown to the extreme, one can be able to even split the heavens and sever the earth. With a sword in hand, they are untouchable, they can traverse the universe and the galaxy unhindered and unrestrained!" Everyone was astonished by such information.
"Xiaojian!" shouted Lu Zhen. A few minutes later, Xiaojian appeared. "Yes Young Master."
"I want you to exchange pointers with Elder Wang," he said calmly.
"Absolutely not," said the elder who wanted Lu Zhen to step down from the Patriarch's seat.
"HAHAHA, who asked for your opinion? Xiaojian is my servant and he does whatever I tell him and as for Elder Wang..." Lu Zhen looked at Elder Wang, "I'M SURE HE KNOWS WHAT'S GOOD FOR HIM." grinned Lu Zhen.
Elder Wang knew that he was in no position to refuse as most of the elders didn't refute Lu Zhen's words.
"But Young Master!" cried Xiaojian out of shock. He'd never trained in the sword, much less held it.
"Don't worry. It's just a spar." Seeing that his Young Master wasn't joking, he didn't have a choice but to agree.
