Chapter 2207: The Lu Family and the Shi Family Are Here (1)
Hearing this, Chen Liqi’s face darkened.
The disciples of the Lu, Shi, and Liang families in the crowd were livid.
Soon, a few disciples of the three families could not help but speak out angrily.
“Master Lu, you’re being too unfair!”
“Exactly. Our Lu family has never offended you. Aren’t you afraid of making an enemy of our Lu family by doing this?”
“Master Lu, our Liang family doesn’t seem to have offended you, right? Aren’t you afraid that you’ll backfire by killing me like this?”
“It’s not like our Lu family can’t afford spirit stones. Why shouldn’t they sell it to our Lu family!”
“Even if you want to convict us, shouldn’t you at least convict the Shi family? The moment you open your mouth, you say that you’re shutting out the Shi family. Aren’t you being too unfair and arrogant!”
As more and more people shouted angrily, Lu Zijia could not help but laugh.
“Since you insist on a reason, then fine, I’ll give you a reason.”
As Lu Zijia spoke, her cold gaze swept across the crowd as if she was looking for something.
Soon, Lu Zijia found her target.
“12 years ago, when Ah Yan and I were rushing to Hongtian Academy for the assessment, we met the Second Miss of the Shi family, Shi Shuangshuang, and the Fifth Miss of the Liang family, Liang Baixiao, who were being chased by spirit beasts.
Ah Yan and I didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business, but in order to escape from danger, Miss Shi and Miss Liang lured the spirit beasts to our side, wanting to divert the trouble to the east.”
Fortunately, my cultivation and A’Yan’s were just enough to deal with those spirit beasts. Otherwise, A’Yan and I wouldn’t have survived until today.”
At this point, Lu Zijia smiled at the pale Shi Shuangshuang in the crowd before continuing,” Of course, this matter is not over yet.
Not only are Miss Shi and Miss Liang not grateful that we saved them, but they also think that our attitude is not good enough.
Although Miss Shi promised a reward, Ah Yan and I were forced to take on this business. I think if it were anyone else, they wouldn’t treat people with bad intentions very well, right?”
“However, Miss Shi felt that Ah Yan and I were in the wrong, so she hated us.
After that, we coincidentally met again during the Hongtian Academy entrance exam. Guess what Miss Shi did at that time?”
Everyone who did not know what was going on could not help but look at each other.
Those who knew more or less about the inside story from back then had strange expressions.
No one agreed, but Lu Zijia did not mind. She continued,” At that time, Miss Shi used her identity as the second daughter of the Shi family to post a reward. Whoever could kill me would get a black-grade spirit weapon.
Miss Liang helped Miss Shi spread the news and even thought of participating in the reward.
Now, I just don’t want the flying spiritual device that I painstakingly researched to fall into the hands of the Shi family and the Liang family. What’s wrong with that?”
Suddenly, Lu Zijia seemed to have thought of something and laughed mockingly.
” By the way, don’t say that the Shi family and the Liang family didn’t know about it. That incident caused quite a commotion back then. It’s impossible for the Shi family and the Liang family to not know about it. So, don’t come and pretend that you don’t know anything.”
“As for the Lu clan…”
Lu Zijia’s gaze shifted again and quickly found Lu Xue and the others in the crowd.
She enunciated each word clearly.” Yizhe and Yifeng are my friends. The Lu family had gone through so much trouble to chase them out of the family back then. What’s wrong with me avenging my friends?”
