Inside the Hall of Patriarchs, the current Family Master, Lu Zhengtan, was convening a meeting with patriarchs of the External Clan and hearing reports on their work recently.
Lu Zhengtan was away for a while. As the Family Master, he must have an understanding about the situation of the family.
The Lu Family was wealthy. The entire eastern part of Central Plains was under the influence of the Lu Family where there were many lobes, treasured lands, and farms. The Lu Family being sealed off only meant that disciples of the Lu Family could not get out, not that the Lu Family had forsaken their interests.
Right at this moment, a deacon on internal affairs suddenly walked in and whispered to Lu Zhengtan. He waved his hands and said, "We are all families here. Say your matter openly. There is no need to hide."
