Chapter 77: To Participate or Not? The Lu Family's Reaction

As soon as Xu Si said this, Xu San immediately sat up straight.

"Mm, I know."

"There's definitely a problem, but it's not big. With that person's strength, if he were to participate, wouldn't that be bullying people?"

"Besides, would Baiyun Guan even let him participate? Wouldn't that be insane?"

"Mm-hmm, fine, it's settled then."

Xu Si hung up the phone, stubbed out the cigarette he had been holding in his mouth, and looked at the three people staring straight at him.

"Well, the person I just mentioned has come out of seclusion, and he's going to Longhu Mountain this time too."

"Oh no, my dog head is going to be beaten to a pulp."

Feng Baobao said subconsciously upon hearing this.

"No, if you don't provoke him, why would he beat your dog head to a pulp?"

Xu San frowned upon hearing this and spoke immediately.

"Then Fourth Brother, are we still going? Judging by what you mean, a very powerful person is going this time? Should we just not go?"

Zhang Chulan was feeling a bit cowardly.

"What are you afraid of? Like I said, with his status, why would he bother fighting a bunch of kids like you? Besides, if he really does participate, you can just concede directly when the time comes."

Xu Si glared when he heard Zhang Chulan say this.

The Company was also keeping an eye on Zhang Chulan's situation and the Grand Daoist Ritual this time.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have notified him immediately after receiving the news.

"No, who exactly is this person that makes you all so worried? Sister Bao'er, can you really not beat this person?"

Zhang Chulan was even more curious now.

Although he had only just stepped into the Outsider world, he had personally experienced Feng Baobao's strength.

And she could recover very quickly after being seriously injured.

"Never met him, but if Xu Si says I can't beat him, then I definitely can't beat him."

Hearing Zhang Chulan ask her, Feng Baobao stared and shook her head.

Zhang Chulan looked at Xu Si upon hearing this, and Xu Si, noticing his gaze, looked at Xu San.

"Ahem, Chulan, the Company doesn't allow information about this person to be released casually, but if you go to the Alien Forum and dig through posts from four years ago, you'll definitely be able to find some."

"Can't you just tell me directly?"

Zhang Chulan was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

Xu Si and Xu San exchanged a glance.

"Alright, this person is named Lin Xuan. According to seniority, he is actually of the younger generation, and he's about three years older than you.

But in terms of strength, there aren't many in the older generation who can be his opponent.

Not to mention anything else, a master from the Outsider world, a very strong one at that, was defeated by him before. So, if he were to participate in this Grand Daoist Ritual, it would definitely be bullying people.

Besides, this is also to select the candidate for the next Celestial Master. If Baiyun Guan really let him participate, Longhu Mountain would wake up laughing in their dreams."

Xu Si didn't put it too severely, and of course, he didn't lie; he just used a bit of flowery language.

He was truly afraid that telling the whole truth would scare Zhang Chulan off.

"I see."

Zhang Chulan looked at Xu Si's serious gaze and nodded.

"Moreover, you also need to investigate some things this time. If you don't go, you won't have any way to investigate."

Xu San reminded him from the side.

"That's true!"

Zhang Chulan nodded slightly.

"So, are we still going or not?"

Feng Baobao stood to the side, seemingly still out of the loop.

"Go, of course we're going."

Xu Si nodded.

"Then I'll go prepare a bit."

Saying this, Feng Baobao turned and left.

"I'm going to prepare too!"

Seeing this, Zhang Chulan also turned and went out, leaving only the two Xu brothers in the office.

"He beat Ding Daoan half to death four years ago. The Company was incredibly nervous at the time, and the Outsider world was going crazy with rumors.

Fortunately, he went straight into seclusion, and the hype slowly died down. I didn't expect him to come out of seclusion again at this time.

Do you think he's coming for Zhang Chulan, or perhaps for the Origin of Qi?"

Xu Si lit another cigarette and said with a frown.

Xu San thought about it after hearing this, tapped his fingers on the table twice, and after a moment of contemplation, said: "I don't think so. Baiyun Guan didn't seem to intervene much in the events of that year.

But we'll have to see the specific situation. The Company convened a meeting of the Ten Elders at the time. I don't know the specific results, but looking at what happened afterward, the previous matter can be considered over."

"That's true. Longhu Mountain is probably taking this matter very seriously as well."

Xu Si nodded slightly.

……

The Lu family.

"Yo, this little guy has come out of seclusion."

Looking at the updated invitation list from Longhu Mountain, although the disciples who would participate in the Grand Daoist Ritual had not been finalized, the invitations from Longhu Mountain to the various forces and sects had already been sent out.

Previously, Lin Xuan's name was not there, but now it has appeared after the update.

This means one must go.

"Senior Brother has come out of seclusion; I am going to Baiyun Guan."

Lu Linglong said with some pleasant surprise.

"If you go now, won't you just miss him? Just go to Longhu Mountain; it's only a matter of waiting two days at most!"

Lu Jin immediately stopped her upon hearing this.

"That's true, but is Senior Brother also going to participate in the Grand Daoist Ritual? Then what is the point of us competing?"

Lu Linglong had just nodded, but then she thought about what the outcome would be if the situation where Lin Xuan participated actually occurred.

"He probably won't, though according to seniority and age, there would be nothing wrong with him participating, but Fang Dongtian likely wouldn't agree."

"He is probably just going to observe the ceremony; after all, Lin Xuan is now considered a Daoist Immortal, an Inner Elixir Immortal at that."

Not to mention Lin Xuan's seniority, his status as a Daoist Inner Elixir Immortal makes it perfectly appropriate for him to attend the Grand Daoist Ritual held by the Daoists.

Or rather, if Lin Xuan had come out of seclusion and not received an invitation, it would be Longhu Mountain that lacked proper etiquette.

Although the purpose of this Grand Daoist Ritual is not simple, the Grand Daoist Ritual is still the Grand Daoist Ritual, a very high-level Daoist ritual.

This is certain.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's set off quickly."

Lu Linglong was somewhat impatient.

Lu Jin shook his head helplessly upon hearing this, then looked at the quiet Lu Lin to the side.

"You don't go this time; watch over the Lu family side."

"Understood!"

Lu Lin nodded.

Lu Jin was increasingly satisfied with this great-grandson; although his strength could not compare to Lin Xuan's, he was already outstanding among his peers.

Moreover, he was the only one besides himself and Lin Xuan to have mastered the Triple Inversion and completed the first level.

Added to his steady personality and thoughtful way of doing things, he was truly rare.

Lu Linglong went back to meet up with a few companions and mentioned that Lin Xuan had come out of seclusion and would also be going to Longhu Mountain; immediately, their expressions turned excited.

When they met at the Lu family birthday banquet, although they felt Lin Xuan was very strong, they didn't have a clear understanding of it.

Then, not long after, news that shattered their worldview arrived.

It completely shocked the few companions.

"The old man is letting us go together this time; no matter the result, we must fight beautifully."

Lu Linglong said, clenching her fists.

"And then, let Senior Brother see our progress over these past few years."

"Uh, Linglong, I think we should just wash up and go to sleep; our progress is real, but to show it off in front of Big Brother..."

Er Gou said with some hesitation.

"Just letting Senior Brother see that we've become stronger is enough; I have become much stronger these past few years."

As she spoke, Lu Linglong rolled up her sleeves, revealing her snow-white arms to show off her muscles, though unfortunately, they were not very obvious.
