Under One Person: The Seeker of the Dao in the Lü Family

Chapter 184 Leaving the Northeast

The two heads of the Wang and Lü families watched Lü Qian devour his meal in silence, and the dinner ended in a somber atmosphere.

Although the two of them had some impression of the legendary methods of the ancestral immortals because of the stories recorded in their family records.

But now, seeing Lü Qian, who is about the same age as their son, heading naked into the Northeast, they couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Ultimately, the fact that a junior had surpassed them, the seniors, filled them with both shame and pride.

Before leaving, the head of the Lü family grabbed Lü Qian's sleeve, stuffed a stack of banknotes into his hand, and solemnly said, "Little Qian, although your great-grandfather supports your journey north, you must remember that this trip is dangerous, and you must not be careless."

"I only brought this much money with me this time. Use it for your journey and don't skimp on yourself."

He gazed at Lü Qian's appearance, which bore a striking resemblance to his two sons, and with some difficulty released his grip. "Alright, go ahead."

"Remember to pass on a message to your great-grandfather Lü Ci when you get back; he did a good job."

In the midst of the somber mood, the head of the Lü family pondered the impact of Lü Ren's death on the Lü family.

No one knows a son better than his father. As his only surviving son, Lü Ci had no choice but to transform from a hedgehog into a mad wolf in order to ensure the continuation of the Lü family.

It's easy to imagine what kind of state the Lü family would be in under the leadership of a mad wolf.

But he had no choice; this was the price he had to pay for the continuation of his family!

The head of the Lü family could only use Lü Qian's words to convey his praise to that mad wolf Lü Ci, hoping that his son would feel more at ease.

"Young Lu, your ancestor Wang Gaozu wasn't very capable, he just had a lot of money."

The head of the Wang family also took out a thick wad of silver coins from his sleeve, and then took off a jade thumb ring from his thumb. He opened Lü Qian's hand and handed these items to him.

"The Wang family doesn't have much involvement in the Northeast region, but as soon as you cross the Shanhaiguan Pass, the Wang family can immediately provide you with support."

"Because of the Japanese, the Gao family has retreated to the mountains. I have some connection with Liao Huzi, who is in charge there. I will send you an urgent message using the Divine Paint later."

The head of the Wang family waved his hand, bidding farewell to Lü Qian, and said, "We brothers can both see that you have your own path to follow, and this is all the old folks like us can do to help you."

Just keep moving forward, don't worry about the future.

Lu Qian tucked the money given to him by the two family heads into his sleeve, then flipped over and mounted the white tiger again, smiling as he bid farewell to the two family heads.

"Today I have eaten at the banquet hosted by our two ancestors and received their money. Now I must show off my skills as a way of expressing my gratitude."

As he spoke, the peach wood sword on his back emitted a dazzling golden light. In the blink of an eye, the golden wooden sword transformed into a cluster of fireflies, swirling and dancing in the room.

Golden fireflies, seemingly ethereal, drifted over the white tiger, making its colorful fur even more dazzling and magnificent.

Lu Qian tapped the white tiger's forehead with his whisk, "Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger, now it's your turn to taste the joy of soaring! Rise!"

"roar!"

The white tiger, gleaming with golden light, roared and stepped out with its four paws. It strode through the air as if walking on flat ground, carrying Lü Qian on its back. With its limbs flailing, it ran directly through the air.

The man and the tiger circled the two clan leaders in the void once. As the shock in their eyes subsided, the scene became even more bizarre.

"Farewell, my two great ancestors."

The white tiger, carrying Lü Qian, leaped towards the window. The barrier set up by Shen Tu shattered with a crash, and the man and the tiger rushed into the void through the open window.

"Hahaha......"

On the street, ordinary people who witnessed this scene bowed down to Lü Qian, who was flying away into the sky, and called him an immortal.

Fortunately, the control over people with supernatural abilities is not strict in this era, so Lü Qian can be more unrestrained in his methods.

A youth without youthful exuberance is a wasted youth; lest one regret it in old age.

The willful and reckless Lü Qian rode a white tiger in mid-air, like Sun Wukong in a story about making havoc in the Heavenly Palace, carrying the momentum of soaring into the sky, and flew straight towards the outside of the city.

Since we've already started this, let's make a huge scene!

Inside the restaurant's private room, the two heads of the Wang and Lü families stood by the window, watching Lü Qian disappear into the clouds, speechless.

"This kid truly lives up to his reputation as someone capable of experiencing the Great Dream Reincarnation."

The head of the Wang family was the first to come to his senses. He withdrew his hand from his eyebrows and exclaimed, "According to the family records, our great-grandson truly has the potential to ascend to immortality."

The head of the Lü family also nodded with a smile. Now it seems that Lü Ci of that era has finally reaped the rewards of his hard work, and the Lü family has a bright future ahead of them.

"Let's go for a drink, it's on Master Lü today!"

With a flick of his sleeve, the head of the Lü family displayed a bold and unrestrained demeanor. "Our Lü family is not as wealthy as your Wang family, but we can still afford to treat you to a meal."

"Hey, what are you saying? I'm going to drink you under the table today."

The head of the Wang family laughed and scolded, "Waiter, bring me all your treasures."

Just as the two were clinking glasses and enjoying themselves immensely, a grating, sarcastic voice suddenly rang out from outside the door, "You shameless old man, you still have the mood to drink?"

Immediately afterwards, Lü Ci appeared at the doorway, looking at the Lü family head with resentment.

"Quickly confess, is that your illegitimate child?"

The Lu family head's initial enthusiasm instantly turned into raging anger. He flashed to Lu Ci's side, grabbed Lu Ci by the collar, and dragged him into another private room.

"Brother Wang, I have a rebellious son to deal with. You drink first, I'll be there shortly."

"You brat, you almost ruined my reputation."

"Bang!"

The door to the next room slammed shut, followed by a series of wailing and howling sounds.

"Big brother, save me! This shameless old man is going to beat me to death..."

"Calling for your mother won't help. If I don't teach you about father-son relationships today, you'll really rebel!"

"Aww—"

Inside the restaurant, Lü Ci's screams echoed throughout the entire street.

……

Meanwhile, in the woods outside Bianliang City, Lü Qian and Baihu descended from mid-air. A golden light flashed through the woods, and the peach wood sword reappeared, landing on Lü Qian's back.

"roar!"

Lu Qian waved his whisk and tapped the white tiger on the head, urging it to hurry on its way. "Alright, there will be plenty of opportunities next time. Let's go to the Northeast first."

He sat on the tiger's back, his smile vanishing, and in an instant became extremely serious.

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again.

"This humble Taoist priest is departing!"
