Peerless Taoist

Bai Zhiqing was startled.    

However, she quickly regained her senses and immediately moved aside, pointing at Lu Yu and said, "This is the person who injured Jiu Hua."    

Bai Zhiqing added, "This person has nothing to do with my Bai Family. My Bai Family will not acknowledge him."    

"You won't acknowledge him?"    

Zhu Yanshan was about to speak when he heard Bai Zhiqing's words. He was about to blurt out, but he suddenly stopped himself and glanced at Bai Zhiqing meaningfully.    

"Since he has nothing to do with the Bai Family, then you may leave."    

"As for that child Jiu Hua, he is really useless. I have been too lenient on him. He has already been sent to the countryside. He will not be allowed to step into Loujing for the rest of his life."    

Zhu Yanshan's voice was steady and powerful, echoing in all directions.    

All of a sudden, the cultivators of the Bai Family who had surrounded them were stunned on the spot. They could not believe their ears.    

Zhu Yanshan had actually expelled Zhu Jiuhua from Loujing!    

Zhu Jiuhua was the successor that the Zhu Family had spent countless efforts to nurture. But now, Zhu Yanshan had actually given up on him.    

Moreover, from Zhu Yanshan's tone, it could be inferred that Zhu Yanshan even hated Zhu Jiuhua.    

What was going on?    

"Senior, Young Master Jiuhua was just an accident. You must not be sad."    

"Yes, senior. We will always stand by your side. We will never agree with such a villain who injured others."    

Many of the experts of the Bai Family stood up and began to declare their stance, dividing themselves into two camps with Lu Yu.    

However, Zhu Yanshan did not respond to their words. His gaze fell on Lu Yu, who was standing in the crowd, and he quickly walked up.    

Then, something that no one had expected happened.    

Zhu Yanshan quickly walked forward and knelt on the ground, saying respectfully,    

"I, Zhu Yanshan, pay my respects to Your Majesty, the Qin Emperor!"    

"En."    

Lu Yu nodded and continued to savor his tea, his expression as calm as ever.    

In an instant, the surroundings became deathly silent.    

The Bai Family clansmen present were frozen in place, their expressions completely dull.    

They looked at the scene in disbelief. The legendary Ancestor of the Zhu Family was now kneeling respectfully in front of Lu Yu, as lowly as a servant.    

"He is..."    

Even Bai Zhiqing forgot what she was going to say next, her mind blank.    

Bai Suqing let out a long sigh and frowned slightly. "Aunt, I've been back for so long. Haven't you asked me who my Dao partner is?"    

She wanted to tell Bai Zhiqing, but she was interrupted by Bai Zhiqing again and again. It was as if Bai Zhiqing did not care who Lu Yu was at all. She stubbornly believed that Lu Yu was just a native who had ascended from the Lower Realm.    

At this point, a sudden coldness suddenly poured into Bai Zhiqing's internal organs, causing her entire body to shudder.    

"Is he Lu Yu?"    

Bai Zhiqing suddenly remembered something.    

Qin Huang, Lu Yu, seemed to have ascended from the Lower Realm.    

It was not his fault that he did not know. Although Lu Yu was also a member of the younger generation, his status was already quite distinguished. He was an existence that was on equal footing with Emperor Zhou, Ji Wenchang.    

In Bai Zhiqing's subconscious mind, she would never have thought of Lu Yu, because Lu Yu's status was already different. No one would have thought that the dignified Great Qin Emperor would actually be her niece's dao companion.    

"This is impossible, this is impossible …" The Great Elder muttered to himself.    

Behind him, there were a few elders of the Bai Family. They fell to the ground, trembling all over.    

These people were the most vicious ones who had scolded and ridiculed Lu Yu just now.    

Now, these people no longer had any temper. It was as if all the strength in their bodies had been drained. They stared blankly at the scene in front of them.    

Even the two Taoists that Bai Zhiqing had invited were standing there blankly, their minds completely blank.    

They seemed to have stopped breathing. They stood there blankly, unable to say a word.    

Who was Lu Yu?    

He was the existence who had destroyed Great Yu, destroyed the Buddhist Sect, chased Shen Linglong away, and calmed the Netherworld.    

No one would have thought that such a great figure would suddenly appear in front of them.    

"Your Majesty, this time, it's my fault for not teaching my juniors well. I let the juniors of my clan offend Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty can forgive me!"    

Zhu Yanshan respectfully knelt on the ground and said.    

He looked behind him, and all the members of the Zhu family all came forward to bow.    

"To express my apologies, I am willing to give away fifty percent of the profits of the Zhu family every year to Lady Lang Ya!" Zhu Yanshan waved his hand.    

Immediately, Elder Zhu Chengde walked forward, holding a treasure box in his hand and placing it in front of Bai Suqing. He opened the treasure box, and a certificate immediately appeared.    

This was the certificate of the transfer of the Zhu family's property.    

As long as they signed their lives on it, the Heavenly Dao would monitor the effectiveness of this certificate. The material used to make this certificate was extremely precious, and there were extremely mysterious and exquisite curses on it. It was usually only used when it was used to verify important vows.    

A wave of gasps sounded from the surroundings.    

"Fifty percent of the Zhu family's profits? Oh my god!" Many of the Bai family's experts' pupils contracted, and their minds went blank.    

The Zhu family's annual profits were almost equal to the total tax revenue of the Great Zhou Empire.    

Such a huge amount of money, and the Zhu family was willing to give away fifty percent of it to Bai Suqing!    

One could imagine that it wouldn't be long before Bai Suqing would control a considerable amount of wealth. She would even directly surpass the Bai family and become a peerless wealthy family.    

Lu Yu was still sitting calmly on his chair, quietly looking at the certificate.    

"Do you want to sign it?" Bai Suqing was a little uncertain.    

This was also the first time she had seen such a huge amount of wealth in front of her. However, it was so huge that it was somewhat unrealistic.    

"Why don't you want something that was delivered to your doorstep?" Lu Yu said indifferently.    

In Lu Yu's eyes, wealth, glory, and wealth were just numbers.    

Only strength and longevity were eternal.    

Bai Suqing nodded. Without any hesitation, she raised her hand and sent a ray of magical energy into the certificate.    

"The Zhu family will give you the profits every year. Please rest assured, Princess Langya!" Zhu Chengde said respectfully.    

After the certificate was put into the treasure box, the eyes of many people from the Bai family were filled with passion.    

If it was them in the past, they would have already rushed forward to snatch it away. However, at this moment, Lu Yu was beside Bai Suqing, so these people did not dare to move forward.    

"You are a smart person. Not bad!" Lu Yu praised.    

"Compared to His Majesty, I am just a star in the sky." Zhu Yanshan was extremely humble and respectful.    

Lu Yu smiled faintly. This Zhu Yanshan was indeed a sly old fox.    

The reason the Zhu family was able to have such a position today was because they had already established a good relationship with the Great Zhou Imperial Family in advance.    

Now, Zhu Yanshan wanted to bet on the treasure, but he had placed the treasure on Bai Suqing. This was because he wanted to have a place in the future Great Qin Empire.
