Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world
Chapter 34 Family Crisis
The next day, Lu Lingxi, dressed in a simple yet elegant blue robe, walked briskly toward the familiar yet unfamiliar door with a deep worry between her brows.
Just as she reached the threshold, she abruptly stopped, for several resolute figures were already standing guard. The guards were clad in iron armor, holding long spears, and their eyes held both respect and unspoken sorrow.
The lead guard stepped forward, his voice tinged with helplessness, "Miss, the master has ordered that you cannot enter today."
"Grandpa's condition has worsened again?" Lu Lingxi's voice trembled with disbelief, her eyes wide.
"That's impossible! The pills I gave Grandpa yesterday were carefully prepared; there's absolutely no way there could be a problem!"
She stepped forward, her demeanor imposing, her words filled with anger, "Get out of my way! I want to see Grandpa."
The guards looked at each other, all with troubled expressions. Through their previous interactions, they had come to understand Lu Lingxi's temperament, but they dared not disobey their master's orders.
So the head guard bowed slightly again, his tone very humble, "Please understand, young lady, we are just following orders. We hope you will not make things difficult for us servants."
Hearing that Lu Lingyuntian's condition had worsened again, she was extremely anxious. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: no matter what, she had to get to his side as soon as possible, because every second of delay could cost her grandfather his life.
With a swift movement, she swept past the guards like a ghost in a raging storm. Her movements were quick and precise, and every turn and dodge revealed her profound martial arts skills honed over many years.
Those usually well-trained and powerful guards seemed so powerless in front of her, as if they had been knocked down by an invisible force. One by one they lost their balance and fell to the ground, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Upon arriving at the backyard, Lu Lingchenyang stood tall and straight like a pine tree in the center of the yard, with Lu Lingqingyue and Lu Linghuaian standing beside him.
On the other side was Lin Shengtian, the head of the Lin family. He was dressed in fine clothes, with deep eyes that revealed a cunning light. His daughter, Lin Wanwan, stood behind him, while the rest of the Lin family members stood or stood around them.
As Lu Lingxi Yao stepped into the courtyard, their gazes all converged on her alone, carrying a faint sense of hostility and wariness.
An indescribable tension suddenly filled the air, as if a storm might sweep in at any moment.
Lu Lingchenyang's gaze was like a torch, fixed on Lu Lingxiyao, and his voice carried a fearsome majesty.
"Lu Lingxi Yao, how dare you step through this door? What kind of insidious poison did you give the patriarch, causing his condition to deteriorate so rapidly and his life to be hanging by a thread? Today, I, Lu Ling Chenyang, as the acting patriarch, in accordance with clan rules, hereby expel you from the Lu Ling family for the crime of plotting against the patriarch, and you shall never return!"
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the hall froze instantly. Everyone held their breath, and even the air seemed to grow heavier. However, faced with this sudden accusation and verdict, Lu Lingxi Yao remained completely calm. She simply stood there quietly, without moving.
After that moment of silence, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
"Plotting to murder the patriarch?" Lu Lingxi finally spoke, her voice soft yet carrying an undeniable force.
"Uncle, are you so eager to convict me? Aren't you afraid your true intentions will become obvious to everyone? Or are you worried that if I cure Grandpa, it will ruin your grand plan as head of the family? Everyone knows that I, Lu Lingxi Yao, am Lu Lingyun Tian's granddaughter. How could I do such an unjust thing? As for the so-called poison, that's utter nonsense."
Lu Lingchen's face was ashen, his eyes flashing with undeniable rage. "Stubborn fool! If you continue with your sophistry, then force will be the only solution!"
Lu Lingxi Yao simply smiled slightly. She gently raised her hand, her fingertips twitching, and the Gale Wolf—Illusion Moon—appeared beside her in a burst of light.
The crowd turned pale with fright at the sudden appearance of the Gale Wolf. Shouts and screams rose and fell, like startled birds. They retreated in all directions, some even stumbling and scattering before they could even stand up, trying to get away from this terrifying beast.
In the midst of the chaos, a firm and powerful voice pierced through the clamor of the crowd. Lu Lingchenyang shouted, "Don't panic, everyone! With so many of us working together, we can definitely fight it. Whoever captures it, it belongs to them!"
Lu Lingchenyang's words were like a stabilizing force, giving courage to his trembling heart. He even thought that the Gale Wolf was clearly of a high star level, and if he could subdue this spirit beast, wouldn't he gain a great help?
“If that’s the case, then let’s settle things with strength.” She gently stroked Huan Yue’s fur, her eyes flashing with a cold light. “Huan Yue, bite them to death.”
