Chapter 820

Under the double-sided pincer attack of Chen Wuji and Lu Wanwan, Lu Daye, who only wanted a nickname and not a real name, was completely defeated and honestly confessed some actual situation of Lu Jia Village.

Lu Wanwan

Their ancestors' purpose in studying martial arts was fundamentally to give themselves self-defense capability; they rarely took part in Rivers and Lakes conflicts, and in the court they simply never got involved at all.

"Since the Lu Family has for so many years adhered to the ancestral precept of refusing to enter official service, why did you this time choose to obey my order?" Chen Wuji asked.

Yanshan Qin Clan

Ciji Hall

Your army is grazing horses on the land of the Qiang People, and in Nan Jun they are even more so brandishing knives and trampling over Rivers and Lakes; I'd like to run, but I also need a place to go!

Court

Nan Jun

"His father is an idiot, he agreed to marry into Chen Jieshuai, we have no choice!" Lu Daye said speechlessly; although this remark is merely an excuse, it is also one of the factual reasons.

Lu Wanwan's father is currently the youngest grandmaster of the Lu Family, and his ideas have diverged from those of the two elders.

Lu Wanwan's father planned to abandon the ancestral precept and find another way out for the Lu Family; this is also why, when Qin Zhanhong went to Lu Jia Village, the Lu Family agreed so readily.

Upon hearing that Qin Zhanhong's matchmaking target was Chen Wuji, Lu Wanwan's father merely thought for a moment, then unilaterally made the decision, and in the simplest of circumstances actually betrothed his daughter as a concubine to Chen Wuji.

"Eh? Red Sister didn't even mention the husband's identity back then, did she?" Lu Wanwan asked doubtfully.

Lu Daye slapped Lu Wanwan on the head, "You silly girl, who doesn't know the name of Chen Jieshuai nowadays? Do you think we really just stay in the village, oblivious to the outside world? When that girl entered the village, she announced her lineage, calling herself of the Yanshan Qin Clan; how many descendants of the Yanshan Qin Clan are there in Nan Jun?"

Jade Lady Restaurant

Lu Wanwan rubbed her head and let out an oh, then murmured softly: "Turns out I'm the only one kept in the dark, Grandpa — not that I'm saying it, but you and my father aren't good people."

Grand Master

Master

Possibly also old man? Not needed.

Possibly also great-grandfather? Not separate.

Possibly also little Wan? Not separate.

Possibly also Wan Wan? Not separate.

Possibly also Red Sister already.

Originally perhaps there were still a few people who could find a partner on their own, but after the Dayu dynasty issued the compulsory marriage edict, this small group also basically lost the right to choose.

They didn't even get a chance to meet someone they liked before the court's heavy pressure came down.

Chen Wuji had just time-traveled, and he was dazed by this combination punch from the Dayu Court.

The aftereffects of time-travel hadn't even worn off, and he already had three wives.

The little silver he had earned at first in the mountains was almost all stuffed into the hands of those clerks.

"Great-grandfather, now that the raw rice has become cooked rice, what does the Lu family mean?" Chen Wuji asked in a low voice, "Whether the reason matters or not, I can care or not care, but right now I need a clear attitude."

Lu Wanwan's little face quietly blushed a bit, and she softly scolded, "Can't you use a better word? Things like raw rice... cooked rice sound weird."

However, her voice was too soft, and Chen Wuji didn't hear it at all.

On the other hand, Lu Daye, being a grand master, heard every word; he chuckled twice and said to Chen Wuji, "Whether the reason matters or not is no longer important; Little Wanwan's scoundrel father has already made the decision for our whole clan, abandoning the ancestral teachings and stepping out."

"I personally brought the clansmen with this old body to seek refuge with the commander; this attitude should still be not bad, right? This time I came, I brought two grand masters, equivalent to pulling out half of the clan's experts."

The old man's words were quite impolite, and he didn't show much respect toward Chen Wuji either.

But there is one good point: he is quite sincere.

With such an attitude, Chen Wuji basically had no reason to doubt anything.

"Welcome, this will definitely be the great-grandfather's most correct decision!" Chen Wuji laughed.

No need to ask more.

Lu Daye stood up, clasped his hands toward Chen Wuji, and said, "Commander, your kindness is too much; I really can't bear the title of grandfather."

"What's there to be overly kind about? From Little Wanwan's perspective, this is just how one should address him." Chen Wuji raised his hand and pressed, "Great-grandfather, greet the clansmen waiting outside; I'll set up a banquet to welcome everyone."

After saying that, he ordered Chen Wuyi, "Send people to the tavern to reserve a few tables of food and drink."

"Yes!"

Lu Daye didn't stand on ceremony; he fully followed Chen Wuji's arrangements, calling in all the clansmen waiting outside and introducing them one by one to Chen Wuji.

These ten Lu clan members were all top-notch experts, yet they looked no different from ordinary farmers; their aura was too earthy, showing no trace of being experts.

Looking at those simple, honest faces imbued with a rich earthly aura, Chen Wuji suddenly realized a problem: in this era, true experts seem to keep a low profile, even racking their brains to hide their identities—the Chen clan is like that, the Ciji Hall is like that, and Lu Jia Village even more so.

On the contrary, those half-baked individuals, each carrying swords and holding knives, are eager to tell the whole world they are Jianghu people, martial arts masters.

This matter is actually quite interesting.

Directly reserving a meal at the Jade Lady Restaurant was much faster than going to the manor themselves; in less than half an hour, Chen Wuyi brought people over, the tables were set up in the garden, and the food and drink were laid out in a row.

Chen Wuji lifted a bowl, opened the proceedings, "Everyone is Little Wanwan's brothers; don't stand on ceremony, open your bellies, eat what you should eat, drink what you should drink, first fill your stomachs, other matters we'll discuss later."

A group of sturdy men immediately stood up.

Chen Wuji's relaxed posture made them relax as well.

"A bunch of brainless things, yet they respect the commander!" Lu Daye suddenly cursed.

Chen Wuji: ……
