Chapter 517 Extra Chapter: Nothingness (Part 5)
Upon hearing Lu Peiran's assertion, Lu Heng immediately stopped him, "Shut up! How could you say such a thing so casually!"
The faces of the uncles and elders were also filled with shock. "Pei Ran, you can't say such things outside!"
Lu Peiran smiled slowly, "If I don't say these things, will no one else think about them?"
"Father, uncles, has our Lu family endured for so many years? Is it merely because of our respect for the Emperor and the royal family?"
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Of course not!
Their Lu family spanned several dynasties, so how could it be out of respect for the royal family?
The Lu family has always been discerning and has followed the advice of wise rulers. Royal families are incredibly powerful, but also incredibly fragile.
In the blink of an eye, the entire royal family and the entire dynasty could be wiped out.
The Lu family, however, had already seen through the mystery.
Not only them, but the monarchs of every dynasty were also well aware of this.
Therefore, no matter which emperor ascends the throne, they will be extremely wary of the Lu family.
It's just that the Lu family has kept their strength and resources hidden all along.
The Lu family, of course, couldn't be without precautions; they were always fully prepared, no matter the time or place...
Seeing the contemplation on his father's face, Lu Peiran kowtowed heavily, "Father, this is what your son thinks."
Tomorrow, my son will go to become a monk as promised.
From now on, I can no longer participate in these mundane matters. I hope Father and all my uncles will carefully consider these words.
After saying that, Lu Peiran fell silent.
Lu Heng looked at his son, who had fallen silent, and waved for him to leave.
The next day, amidst his mother's cries, Lu Peiran embarked on the path of becoming a monk.
His first stop was Xiaoshan Temple outside the capital. The temple was quiet and ancient, and Lu Peiran was very satisfied with it.
However, to his surprise, the temple refused his request to be ordained.
This was because the events of that evening's banquet had already spread throughout the capital and the surrounding prefectures.
Therefore, the surrounding temples had already been bribed to ensure that no one named Lu Peiran would be accepted.
After hearing the inside story, Lu Peiran sneered.
He couldn't think of anyone else besides Princess Chaoyang who would do something so pointless.
Lu Peiran didn't care much about these petty tricks. If the temples near the capital didn't work, he would go to temples further away!
But along the way, there were always people trying to stop him in various ways.
Lu Peiran wasn't angry. Every time his plans to become a monk were disrupted, he would immediately pack his bags and head to the next temple.
Gradually, Princess Chaoyang also felt it was meaningless. This Lu Peiran really was single-mindedly determined to become a monk!
After understanding Lu Peiran's feelings, she wasn't so angry anymore. Most importantly, she had recently taken a liking to another handsome young man.
So she recalled all the people who were interfering with Lu Peiran.
Without Princess Chaoyang's interference, Lu Peiran's path to becoming a monk went much more smoothly.
