<h4>Chapter 1168: Chapter 1161: The Terrifying Tang Family</h4>


    Time flows through fingers like sand. If you don’t pay attention, it silently slips away.


    In the blink of an eye, it’s the next day. The clear morning sunlight already falls upon the earth, awakening the entire city. The gentle sunshine on one’s body gives a feeling of warmth.


    This time, Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing did not go out to y but got up early, packed their things, and headed towards the Lu Family under the guidance of a Lu Family Guard.


    The events ofst night at the Rainbow Bar seemed to have been ignored by everyone, with no news leaking. However, the families orpanies of those few yboys were immediately shut down this morning, and they were all taken back to the police station for investigation.


    This scene instantly shook the entire Suzhou, knowing that some of these people were in high positions, others billionaires or celebrity entrepreneurs. Now being taken away for investigation made everyone fall silent, scrambling through various channels to find out what had happened.


    Lu Tianxing waspletely unaware of what was happening outside, and even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.


    At this moment, Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing were sitting in a pavilion in the Lu Family’s backyard, ying chess with Old Master Lu.


    The chessboard, with ck and white pieces clearly separated, had pieces attacking like two armies shing.


    "Honey, put it here, and grandpa will be inescapable then."


    This time, it wasn’t Bai Zhiqing ying against Old Master Lu, but Lu Tianxing doing so, with Bai Zhiqing acting as a strategist, guiding Lu Tianxing.


    Old Master Lu, smiling wryly, watched Lu Tianxing quickly ce the pieces in the spots Bai Zhiqing designated and said with a slightly exasperated tone, "Can you two lovebirds stop showing off in front of me? And Zhiqing, haven’t you said before that true gentlemen don’t speak while watching chess? By instructing him like this, how am I supposed to teach him a lesson in Go?"


    Bai Zhiqing showed no embarrassment and mischievously said, "Grandpa, I’m a woman, not a gentleman. Haven’t you heard the saying, ’Brothers join hands in battle, father and son fight together’? A couple is one entity, and since we’re one, it’s no big deal for me to assist Tianxing from the side!"


    Lu Tianxing nodded repeatedly, saying, "Indeed, grandpa, a couple is one entity. Zhiqing helping me is understandable, but you wouldn’t be afraid of losing to a younger generation, would you?"


    "Nonsense."


    Old Master Lu puffed his beard and red, saying, "Hmph, let me tell you both not to be arrogant. Today, the old man will show you how I can defeat you both without mercy."


    Watching Old Master Lu puff his beard and re, Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing exchanged a nce and smiled lightly. Who would have thought that the always serious Old Master Lu would have such a childlike side?


    "By the way, Tianxing, I heard you got into a fight with someone from the Tang Family at the Rainbow Barst night?" Old Master Lu said while ying chess, looking at Lu Tianxing.


    Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing instinctively hugged him tightly, her gazending on him with a querying expression, wondering why she hadn’t heard him mention this.


    "It’s nothing."


    Lu Tianxing gently patted Bai Zhiqing’s hand, smiling as he said, "People from the Tang Family tried to poison me. I couldn’t help it; I disabled the limbs of that Tang Family yboy. Grandpa, why would people from the Tang Familye to Jiangnan? Aren’t they always in Shu?"


    "Shu Tang Family?"


    Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, a sharp light shed in Old Master Lu’s eyes, and he said solemnly, "Ignore them. They’re just a bunch of cowards hiding in Shu. You did very well this time. Daring to bully the Lu Family, they must be tired of living."


    "Tianxing, are you hurt? I heard that the Tang Family in Shu excels at using poison." Bai Zhiqing couldn’t help but ask, her eyes showing a hint of worry.


    "It’s nothing serious. How could a mere Tang Family harm me? Don’t worry."


    Lu Tianxing smiled at Bai Zhiqing and asked Old Master Lu, "Grandpa, how much do you know about the Shu Tang Family? What’s their strength like?"


    "Comparable to the Lu Family, and if it reallyes down to a fight, the Lu Family wouldn’t gain any advantage. The Tang Family excels in poison and covert weapons. However, you don’t need to worry too much; the Tang Family has stayed in Shu for many years without daring to act recklessly. It’s not because they’re not strong but because theyck the courage to venture elsewhere. No one would want to see the Tang Family grow, as their mastery in poison would be a nightmare for many families. After all, who wants to live a life where they have to be constantly vignt, even when eating or breathing, to avoid poisoning? No one would enjoy or endure such a life."


    If the Tang Family dared to make a move, they would only be the target of all."


    "Grandpa, what are my odds if I go up against the Tang Family?" Lu Tianxing asked, tilting his head toward Old Master Lu.


    "Certain death."


    Without hesitation, Old Master Lu said, "I know your cultivation technique is strong, capable of challenging across levels. But if you dare to break into the Tang Family, I can say you’d be doomed. Don’t underestimate the Tang Family."


    Lu Tianxing didn’t argue with Old Master Lu’s assessment. Although he had the Mand by his side, which also excelled in poison, Tang Family’s toxins might not harm him. However, his strength was merely at the peak of Early-stage Mythical, not Middle-stage Mythical, while the Tang Family Ancestor was definitely ate-stage mythical expert. With his current power, invading the Tang Family would almost certainly end in no survival.


    "Tianxing, why did you suddenly ask me about this?"


    Hearing Old Master Lu’s words, Lu Tianxing smiled and said, "Nothing, just curious. Grandpa, let’s continue ying chess."


    Just then, a dull sound of footsteps approached from nearby.


    Hearing the sound, the three of them instinctively raised their heads to look outside the pavilion.


    Soon, a middle-aged man exuding an elegant air walked in from outside. This was none other than Lu Bowen, Lu Haoyue’s father, and Lu Tianxing’s second uncle.
