I, who was stabbed to death by Alloy Lu Bu, transmigrated into the Star Soul General

Inside, everything proceeded in an orderly fashion, while outside, all that could be heard was mutual flattery and back-scratching.

"Oh? Song Yunrui, you are indeed a man of exceptional talent. If I'm not mistaken..." Kong Fan patted Song Yunrui on the shoulder, "Your father must be Song Bo, the second master of the Song family, a business genius, right?"

"Haha, Uncle Kong, you flatter me! My father often says that it is all thanks to your excellent governance, Lord City Lord, that you have brought blessings to the hundreds of millions of people in Yong'an City. This great achievement is unparalleled among all the cities in Nanzhou!"

"Oh, not at all, hahaha..."

The two were completely absorbed in mutual flattery and couldn't extricate themselves.

This made even the old master Confucius break out in a bead of embarrassment, thinking, "Pretending not to know each other and engaging in mutual flattery... is this really meaningful...?"

"Hum hum……"

Old Master Kong's face darkened, his eyes gleaming as if they were covered by a red-eyed special effect. "Let me unleash my Heavenly Rank aura to intimidate you..."

沙…沙…沙…

As Master Kong pointed with his clasped hands, a Heavenly Rank aura was suddenly released.

boom! !

"Wow!!"

"what!!"

The powerful aura sent the ordinary servants and Song Yunrui and his companions flying.

"What?! This terrifying pressure?!" Song Yunrui scrambled to his feet, barely managing to resist the aftershocks of the pressure, his expression grim. "Could it be a Heavenly Rank cultivator?!"

Kong Fan instinctively shielded his daughter from the oppressive aura, "Uh... Father, what is this...?" (Is he planning to give the Lü family a hard time first...? How foolish of him...)

"Hmph, kid, don't blame me for making you lose face in front of Xin'er. Blame it on being that old man's son. You deserve it!"

Yes, the Lü family helped the Kong family back then, but in the eyes of the old master Kong, such help was charity and a sign of looking down on him, and he held a grudge ever since.

To put it bluntly, they just feel they haven't received enough assistance and want more resources and power.

Swoosh...swoosh...swoosh...

A powerful aura of the Heavenly Rank continued to emanate, but Shen Yue and the others remained unmoved and completely unaffected.

click!

Shen Yue simply took a step forward, and the people behind her understood and released their Heavenly Rank pressure in unison, which neutralized and even overpowered Old Master Kong's pressure.

This scene inevitably brings to mind two deceased friends.

One is a silver-haired songstress who "remembers the past with tears in her eyes".

One of them is a patient with paronychia who asked, "Are you hurt?"

"..."

Silence, unparalleled silence.

"The Heavenly Rank aura that Father released was neutralized?" Kong Fan looked around blankly, while muttering to himself, "I knew it... the Lü family is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface..."

"??? What happened? Why did Grandpa hide his presence?"

However, Kong Xinxin's cultivation level was low, so she couldn't sense anything, only that the pressure suddenly dissipated.

At this moment, Lord Kong, the only sensible person in the Kong family, hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Who... no, who are the three of you?"

"Excuse me, I am Shen Yue, the head maid of the East Courtyard of the Lü family. These are the servants and maids of our East Courtyard." Shen Yue turned around and began to introduce them. "We are here on the orders of Young Master Fengxian to welcome the distinguished guests from the Kong family."

He gestured with a slight bow, a polite smile, and said, "Distinguished guests, please come in..."

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by.

It took away the arrogance of Master Kong.

"..." Old Master Kong appeared unmoved, but in reality, he was sweating profusely. (Holy crap! Holy crap! What... what's going on...!)

(impossible!)

(impossible!)

Even a dignified master of the Heavenly Rank was so frightened that snot came out of his nose.

(Why does the Lü family have six Heavenly Rank experts?!)

(Six in total?! Heavenly Rank?! Huh???)

……

Banquet hall.

The noise of various comments continued unabated.

Squeak—

The door to a side room was opened, and Song Yunxiang came out.

"Brother, what were you guys doing just now..." Song Yunqi pressed close to him, raising an eyebrow and revealing a sly smile, "Were you testing something good in there?"

"Oh? You guessed it?"

"Brother, is there anything I can do for you?" Song Yunqi rubbed his hands together, his face full of longing for cultivation and elixirs. "If you want to test elixirs or something, I'm not afraid to be a guinea pig!"

"..." Song Yunxiang was speechless, and pursed his lips, "Uh...why don't you go and pester Old Lü? You've seen it yourself, he's rich and powerful..."

"Bro~ I just feel like we're close~"

"what…"

Song Yunxiang shoved his bratty younger brother aside and returned to his seat, but his enthusiastic uncles and cousins ​​made him feel somewhat unfamiliar.

Looks like the show-off trick worked.

Squeak—

Tread, step, step.

"Aunt Chun, please add a seat for my 'dear' brother Xun Xia!"

Another side room was opened, and Lü Fengxian dragged a man surnamed Xun out, tossing him at her feet like a dead dog, before sitting down in her own seat.

Boom!

"Please sit down." Lü Chun slammed a chair down next to Xun Xia, nearly shoving his head in the process.

Snap, snap.

“My ‘good brother’,” Lü Fengxian gently patted someone’s cheek, “you know what we’re going to do later, right?”

"I know...I know..."

Xun Xia nodded fearfully, while simultaneously trying to contact the ring mentally, "Elder Du, Elder Du, what should we do now? If we do as he says, all my cultivation resources will be wasted..."

[First, play along to save your own life, then you can appease that girl later, right?]

"Wow!"

dong dong.

“Brother Xun Xia, please take your chair and get over to the door,” Lü Fengxian tapped the table lightly with her fingers, her face full of disgust. “Make sure that stupid old woman sees you the moment she sees you. You know what I mean, right?”

"I understand...I understand..."

Squeak—

At this moment, a servant came to report, "Reporting to the Marquis, the Kong family's flying boat has arrived, and Young Master Yunrui of the Song family, along with several members of our East Courtyard, are here to greet us!"

"Has it finally arrived..." Lu Zhongying murmured softly, then beckoned to Steward Lu, "The time has come, Da Chunzi, give the order to proceed according to my son Fengxian's plan."

"Understood, My Lordship..."

“Hehehe…” Lu Fengxian, Song Yunxiang, and the two families’ grandfathers revealed subtle smiles.

other people:"???"

"They're actually looking at each other and laughing, with expressions that say 'this is going to be good'?" Song Yunxiu's clever little brain noticed the unusual atmosphere. "Hehe... they've definitely set a trap for the Kong family!"

At the same time, at the outer gate of the Lü residence…

The two rows of servants had already stood in place again, and even the carpet had been laid out solemnly.

"Distinguished guests, please come in..." Shen Yue said again to the shocked Kong family.

"Yes, yes, please come in! Please come in!"

Upon hearing the voice of that sycophant, Kong Xinxin once again put on that arrogant face, completely oblivious to her true status, utterly lacking any self-awareness.

Miss Kong strode inside, genuinely believing the Lü family was welcoming her, completely unaware that her grandfather was already having second thoughts.

After taking a few steps, he sensed something was wrong and turned around abruptly. "Father? Grandpa? Why aren't you coming?"

"Okay, coming..." Kong Fan replied casually, then asked in a low voice, "Father? Shall we go? Or not?..."

The only sensible person in the Kong family had already seen the state of the old master Kong, and felt that he had probably come out of the arrogance of breaking through to the Heavenly Realm.

however…

Grandpa Kong seemed not to hear at all, still immersed in shock, confusion, and fear.

(How is this possible? How could the Lü family have six Heavenly Realm experts... and they all look so young...)

(etc…)

(Are they still wearing servants' clothes?)

He immediately broke out in a sweat, his eyes widened, and his pupils contracted sharply.

(That's right, they must have used some kind of evil sorcery to deceive me just now!)

Snapped!Snapped!

Grandpa Kong slapped his face, trying to break the "illusion".

(Yes, that's right! I was just careless and caught off guard, which is why I fell for their trap. Even if there were such young Heavenly Rank cultivators, how could they be willing to be subordinate to the Lü family!)

"Let's go!" Old Master Kong suddenly shouted, putting his hands behind his back and pretending to be a master again. "Hmph, I'll see what tricks you're up to!"

Although he said that, Old Master Kong followed cautiously behind the group, completely lacking the domineering air he had shown when he threatened to dismantle the Lü family.
