Lu Yuan stood still, looking at the Li family elder and his entourage with a half-smile, his indifferent expression suggesting that these words had not come from his mouth at all.

"Are you kidding me?!"

"The Grand Elder has made an exception and will not pursue your responsibility. Instead, he has generously allowed you to be recognized as a member of the clan. As the son of a sinful woman, you should be grateful and accept this!"

"That's right! You better know your place, or I'll crush you like an ant!"

"..."

Not only did the Grand Elder fail to understand Lu Yuan's answer, but everyone else was instantly enraged.

In their eyes, Li Liuxin was a sinner who betrayed the Li family, and Lu Yuan was Li Liuxin's son, so naturally he was the son of a sinner and should be ranked at the very bottom of the entire Li family.

Now that the Grand Elder has mercifully allowed him to acknowledge his ancestors, this kid is actually using it as an excuse.

They deserve to die!

Faced with the barrage of criticism from the crowd, Lu Yuan merely glanced at the First Elder's face, which was turning purple with rage, his expression one of amusement.

"If you can't even handle this small matter, how dare the Grand Elder tell me I can do whatever I want? That shows a lack of sincerity!"

Hearing Lu Yuan's teasing tone, what else could the Grand Elder not understand?

It turns out this kid never intended to go back home in the first place; he was just playing him from the start!

Thinking of this, the First Elder's expression grew even more unpleasant.

Seeing his expression, Lu Yuan knew that the old man had finally realized what was happening, and he couldn't help but smile.

"They say people get smarter as they get older, but I think the elder is quite foolish. Should we go to the hospital for a checkup? Maybe he has Alzheimer's!"

When Lu Yuan's sarcastic words reached the ears of the Grand Elder, the veins on his forehead bulged and he roared in anger.

"Shameless brat!"

"Die!"

As he roared, the Grand Elder summoned his beast, which immediately charged towards Lu Yuan.

Seeing this, the others reacted instantly and commanded their beasts to follow.

In an instant.

More than a dozen beast tamers at the Illusion God and True God levels charged toward Lu Yuan with their beasts. The spiritual pressure alone was enough to make Li Liuxin, who was hiding in the back, lower her head and kneel on the ground, unable to even lift her head. Not to mention Lu Yuan, who was facing them directly, the pressure he was under was definitely even more terrifying than hers.

However.

When she looked up with all her might, she found that Lu Yuan was still standing there calmly, as if the other party's target was not him at all.

"Old fogies, you don't really think I'm so stupid that I didn't prepare any backup plans, do you?"

Lu Yuan slowly raised his head, looking at the elder and the others rushing towards him with a playful tone.

"What?"

The elder was stunned for a moment, and before he could react to the meaning of Lu Yuan's words, urgent shouts came from afar.

"Elders, something terrible has happened!"

Seeing the people running quickly from a distance, an old man beside the Grand Elder was the first to sternly reprimand them.

"What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and disrespectful?! Shouldn't you be guarding the door? What are you doing here?!"

The newcomer stood before the elders and others, panting heavily. Ignoring the reprimands from the elders, he hurriedly began to explain.

"The Jiang family patriarch brought a lot of people to our door, saying that their young master has mysteriously disappeared and demanding that Young Master Li give them an explanation, otherwise they will break in and find him themselves!"

Upon hearing this, the elders looked puzzled.

"What does the disappearance of the Jiang family's young master have to do with Li Xingchi? Why would the Jiang family send people to their door just because of this?"

At this moment, the Grand Elder seemed to suddenly remember something and abruptly looked up at Lu Yuan.

"It's you?!"

Lu Yuan slightly curled the corners of his mouth, narrowed his eyes in a good mood, and looked at them with a smile.

Do you like the gifts I gave you?

Even before meeting Li Xingchi and Jiang Ye, he had already been thinking about today's plan. Moreover, he never naively believed that Li Xingchi would trust him wholeheartedly after he agreed to join the Li family. The seemingly innocent and naive Zhang Ya was actually a spy that Li Xingchi had hidden by his side.

To be honest, Stephen Chow's move was indeed insidious.

If he hadn't been keenly aware that Zhang Ya wasn't as naive as she appeared, he might have actually fallen into her trap.

then.

After a brief moment of thought, he decided to play along, outwardly complying with Li Xingchi's ideas while using Zhang Ya, who was monitoring him, as a smokescreen to mislead Li Xingchi, and secretly carrying out his own plan.

And as it turned out, his plan was very successful.

To escalate the conflict between the Jiang and Li families, and when the time is right, secretly kidnap Jiang Ye during the evening gathering, then secretly go to the Jiang family to inform them, thus shifting all the blame onto Li Xingchi and the Li family.

Now that Jiang Chengping, the head of the Jiang family, has come knocking on his door with his men, Li Xingchi, one of the parties involved, is already dead, his body already cold. The matter certainly won't be resolved in a short time, which gives him some breathing room.

Although Lu Yuan's plan didn't have many flaws, it was still no match for the Elder, who had experienced many things and knew the truth. The Elder realized what was going on after a little thought.

Do you think you can survive like this?

The large tiger stared intently at Lu Yuan, but then instructed the gatekeeper, "Tell the Jiang family head to wait a few minutes. I will be there soon to give them an explanation."

As two major families in the Myriad Realms Heaven, the Jiang family would certainly not rashly lead people to break into the gate. As long as they can deal with Lu Yuan in a short time, everything else can be explained slowly.

Then they can push all the blame onto Lu Yuan. Whether from the perspective of interests or face, the Jiang family will not choose to completely break ties with the Li family.

Thinking this, the First Elder waved to the other elders.

"Kill this kid instantly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd launched another attack on Lu Yuan.

Looking at the menacing crowd, Lu Yuan stood still, shaking his head with a sense of disappointment.

"I've already said that all of this was part of my plan, so how could I possibly put myself in a passive position?"

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder suddenly had a bad feeling.

At the same time, another beast appeared beside Lu Yuan, but it was a figure that everyone was very familiar with.

"A Blackwater Dragon?!"

"Isn't that Jiang family kid's tamed beast? What's it doing here!"

Before the elders and the others could react, the black water dragon suddenly opened its huge mouth and made an attacking gesture towards them.

"not good!"
