"You came at the wrong time. The Luo family is already struggling!"
Walking along the corridor, Mrs. Luo's eyes were filled with fatigue and anxiety. "As you can see, the Luo family's foundation is very weak. Back then, my sons all fought against evil spirits. Some died, some fell ill, and left me early. The Luo family's spiritual power has been greatly depleted since then."
"Over the years, we've faced thousands, if not tens of thousands, of evil spirits, and have offended many evil forces. Many big and small ghosts hiding in the shadows are looking forward to the day when our Luo family's foundation will completely collapse, so that they can come to the Luo family for revenge."
Mrs. Luo brought Wen Xi to the main hall of the ancient house, where many people were already waiting.
There was a familiar yet unfamiliar face. When it saw Wen Xi, its eyes widened, and it pointed at her and said, "Huh? Why is it you? What are you doing in our Luo family?"
Old Mrs. Luo frowned and said, "Luo Mingxuan, is this how you treat a distinguished guest? And you're pointing your finger at people. Are these bad habits your grandfather instilled in you?"
Luo Mingxuan was obviously afraid of Old Lady Luo. He shrank back, lowered his arms, and said weakly, "How would I know what kind of distinguished guest she is? We were on a variety show together before, and wasn't she younger than me?"
"She's younger than you, but her accomplishments are much higher. Look at you, you're busy doing live broadcasts and fighting fakes all day long, not doing your job properly. Can't you calm down and improve your cultivation?"
Old Mrs. Luo said with a look of disappointment.
Luo Mingxuan pouted and muttered dissatisfiedly, "But isn't the distinguished guest next to the master also a live broadcaster?"
Old Mrs. Luo was stunned. Seeing Wen Xi smiled and nodded, she couldn't help feeling embarrassed for a moment.
"Mingxuan, how can you talk to the Patriarch? Why don't you just stand aside?"
Elder Luo glanced at him, and although it was a rebuke, his eyes were full of doting.
"Okay, Grandpa."
Luo Mingxuan hurriedly hid at the edge of the main hall, trying to weaken himself as much as possible.
"Master, why did you summon us all back today? The thunder on the mountain is getting louder and louder. Could something bad happen to the Luo family?"
The second elder stroked his long beard and asked.
"This is the fate of the Luo family. Our foundation is unstable, and we may lose our position at the bottom of the four great Xuanmen families at any time. My spiritual power is dissipating, and my body is not as good as before. I could die at any time, so I summoned you all back to pass the position of the Luo family head to Minglang."
Old Mrs. Luo lightly touched the ground with her cane and announced the news in a tone that brooked no resistance.
"grandmother!"
Luo Minglang suddenly looked up at her, he didn't expect this to happen.
"Master, this isn't a good idea. Although Minglang is your grandson, the position of master of our Luo family isn't inherited. It's determined by one's own strength. Minglang isn't the only one among the younger generations."
Elder Luo became anxious. He winked at Luo Mingxuan, wanting him to stand up again. Luo Mingxuan quickly looked away and pretended not to see it.
You must be kidding. He is a free-spirited person and he doesn't want to die sitting in the old house.
Anyone can take the position of the head of the Luo family, but he doesn't want it.
"Oh? Then tell me who has the strength to surpass Ming Liang. Let him come out and compete with Ming Liang. Whoever can beat Ming Liang, I will naturally give him the position of family head without hesitation!"
Old Mrs. Luo said slowly.
Elder Luo choked, and seeing that his grandson was not doing well at all, he shook his sleeves, snorted in dissatisfaction, but said no more.
"Does anyone else have any comments?"
Old Mrs. Luo glanced at the others again, and no one dared to say a word, and they all agreed.
"Then, under the witness of the eldest lady, I will pass the position of Patriarch of the Luo family to Luo Minglang. He will take the helm from now on. You must assist him well and prevent the Luo family from going to ruin. Otherwise, I will die with regret."
Old Mrs. Luo gave the instructions in a deep voice, as if she was stating her last wish.
"Grandma, how can you say such a thing?"
Luo Minglang sensed something and looked at her anxiously, "What's the point of living or not? How long can you live?"
"Yes, grandma, look at me. My soul and body were broken apart, and I was raised like this. But you have always been so healthy. How could you die?"
Luo Mingyi's soul also floated out, looking at Old Mrs. Luo with tears in her eyes.
"Xiaoyi, I was always worried about you. Actually, your soul is in good shape now. Why don't you follow the young lady to reincarnate this time?"
The moment Mrs. Luo saw Luo Mingyi, she couldn't hold it in any longer and spoke with tears in her eyes.
"What young lady? I don't want to be reincarnated. I just want to be with everyone."
Luo Mingyi shook her head childishly, tears streaming down her face.
"It's over, it's over. Did we really come at a bad time? What a scene! It gives me goosebumps."
Meng Po leaned close to Wen Xi's ear and whispered softly.
Seeing the atmosphere in the Luo family becoming gloomy, Wen Xi finally spoke up, "Old Madam, why are you saying such depressing words? You are afraid that the evil spirits gathered outside will destroy the rest of the Luo family, so you want to fight them on your own."
When Wen Xi said this, everyone looked at Mrs. Luo in shock.
"Hiccup... Miss, is that you?"
Luo Mingyi only then saw Wen Xi and started to hiccup from crying. "Grandma, is what the little sister said true? Xiaoyi can also help those evil spirits. You must not go alone. They...they will tear you to pieces."
Old Mrs. Luo's face was tense, and she turned her head away. "Those are the sins owed by the older generation. How can we let you young people suffer the consequences? Xiaoyi, you better be obedient."
Luo Mingyi shook her head, "No, I won't listen!"
"Me too. Since this is the Luo family's business, I will definitely contribute."
Luo Minglang's eyes were firm, and he said in an unquestionable tone, "Grandma, since you have appointed me as the head of the Luo family, then this is my order. We all advance and retreat together."
Rumble!
The muffled thunder outside was already ringing in her ears. Old Mrs. Luo, with tears in her eyes, shook her head with difficulty.
Elder Luo sighed softly, "Well, big sister, you've supported the Luo family for so many years. This time, it's our turn to support them together with you."
"You all..."
Old Mrs. Luo felt a pang in her nose and was unable to say anything against it for a moment.
"Old lady, I'm here today. I'll make sure your Luo family is safe!"
Wen Xi chuckled and shook her head. "I'm embarrassed to bother you with your sentimental remarks just now. The evil spirits I encountered at Nangong's house before were much more powerful than yours, and I was able to escape danger. You don't need to worry about the strength of your evil spirits."
