Chapter Forty-One: Detection

  Lu Shao Yu was the last one to come in and stood at the last corner, gazing forward at Lu Wu Shuang and Lu Mei who were now at the very front.

  At this time, the expressions of the Lu family members also became solemn, gazing at the ancestral spirit tablet in front of them, not even daring to breathe loudly. Meanwhile, Lu Dong and Lu Nan had already moved to the very front.

  Everyone stood up straight, Lu Dong stepped out of the crowd, his eyes filled with majesty. He swept a glance over the entire scene, and in an instant, the Lu family disciples were silent as cicadas in winter.

  After a brief silence, Lu Dong's voice slowly sounded: "Since our Lu family ancestors settled in Qingyun Town, our Lu family has been staying in Qingyun Town for generations..."

  Lu Dong's low and deep voice slowly spread out, the sound was not loud, but every single member of the Lu family present listened carefully, and what Lu Dong said at this time was about some ancestors of the Lu family.

  Lu Shao listened, and didn't think much of it, this was just a ritual for ancestor worship. But what Lu Dong said next surprised him - among their ancestors, there was actually a powerful warrior king who ruled the mainland, a being as rare as a phoenix or qilin on the entire continent. He never thought that among his own ancestors, there would be such an extraordinary person.

  The crowd of Lu family descendants, at this time listening to what Lu Dong said, were all stirred up with passion and excitement. These were the ancestors of the Lu family, and as their descendants, they naturally felt a sense of pride when hearing about the glorious deeds of their ancestors.

  Lu Shao's situation was different. The Lu family had been around for many generations, so it was natural that some of their ancestors had heroic deeds. As a transmigrator, this didn't have much to do with him personally.

  "Now, I pay homage to our ancestors and wish that the Lu family legacy will continue unbroken!" Lu Dong's last words were spoken with a voice that was much louder than before.

  "Ancestors' worship!"

  Lu Dong looked around, a pair of eyes with majesty, without any fluctuation, and immediately knelt down first. The people behind him, including Zhao Hui, Zhou Lixing, Zhou Haoming, etc., also knelt down honestly.

  The Lu family children, following suit, knelt down and started with three bows and nine kowtows. As for Lu Shao-yu, at the last one, he just knelt on the ground and bowed once. What did the Lu family ancestors have to do with him? This bow was also for the previous Lu Shao-yu.

  "Alright, rise." After three kneels and nine knocks, Lu Dong stood up and said to the crowd of Lu family juniors behind him.

  Everyone stood up, and immediately there was a sense of expectation and anticipation in their expressions. What followed was something that the younger generation of the Lu family had been waiting for for a long time.

  "Now, let's go to the martial arts arena, and have a test first." Lu Dong said, gazing at everyone.

  "Went for testing."

  The young men of the Lu family were suddenly excited, and the competition within the Lu family finally began. This was what the younger generation of the Lu family had been truly looking forward to.

  The Lu family's children excitedly rushed out, but Lu Shao-yu didn't reveal his emotions. In his heart, he was thinking that since Uncle Nan had let him go to the Yunyang Sect, he would also have to participate in this clan's trial, otherwise he wouldn't be able to enter the Yunyang Sect.

  "Shao You, you should also go participate in the clan's assessment." Just then, Lu Dong's voice reached Lu Shao You's ears.

  "Shao You, I'll take you there." A soft voice came, and to Lu Shao You's surprise, it was Lu Mei who walked in front of him.

  At this time, Lu Mei smiled slightly and gazed at Lu Shaoyou. A strong fragrance wafted over, but Lu Shaoyou was inwardly perplexed - how could it be that Lu Mei also had designs on him?

  "Let's go, Shao You." Lu Wushuang also arrived at Lu Shaoyou's side.

  "En." Lu Shaoyou did not refuse, and suddenly Nán Shū spoke up. If he wanted to go in, he had to think of a way to enter the Cloud Sun Sect. He wondered what kind of treasure was inside the Cloud Sun Sect that made Nán Shū keep it in mind. With Nán Shū's gaze, whatever he saw must be a treasure.

  "Big brother, how can Lu Shaoyou participate in the assessment?" After Lu Shuang and others left, Zhao Hui looked at Lu Dong with an unpleasant expression and asked.

  "Third sister, this is what Father instructed, if you have any doubts, go ask Father." Lu Dong said.

  "I've already brought that kid to the ancestral hall, which is the limit. Is the Lu family intentionally making things difficult for me? Bullying my mother's family because no one can stop them? Remember how the Lu family responded to me back then." Zhao Hui said.

  "Third sister, what are you saying? The Lu family did agree to never acknowledge Shao You as a member of the Lu family again, but you also promised not to make things difficult for them, mother and son. Have you kept that promise these past years? You know in your own heart. Let's just drop this matter for now and go see how they're doing with their assessment. Shao Hu's talent isn't bad either, he has a good chance of entering Yunyang Sect. Just don't say anything more." Lu Dong said, then immediately left the ancestral hall.

  "Brother and sister, you're overthinking this. At least, that kid won't be able to truly acknowledge his ancestors so easily." Lu Nan said as he walked up to Zhao Hui's side.

  "I think the Lu family just wants that kid to acknowledge his ancestors, but I strongly disagree." Zhao Hui snorted and stormed out of the ancestral hall.

  Lu Nan and Zhou Lixing exchanged a glance, then also left the ancestral hall and headed towards the martial arts arena.

  The Lu family's martial arts training ground was not small, and it was usually a forbidden area for the Lu family. Only disciples of the Lu family who had been approved could enter, while those who had not been approved, including servants, were strictly prohibited from entering the training ground.

  At this time, the martial arts arena had already been set up with a high platform, and many people from the Lu family and their servants were gathered around. Today, the Lu family's servants were also allowed to enter and watch the performance at the martial arts arena. Since it was New Year's Day, the Lu family gave all their servants a day off and a generous red envelope, so each servant was beaming with joy.

  The crowd gathered outside the martial arts arena, wanting to see the Lu family's annual competition and assessment, especially the two winners this year, who would represent the Lu family in the Yunyang Sect's competition. If they entered the Yunyang Sect, that would be something everyone envied.

  Lu Shao Yu followed Lu Wu Shuang and Lu Mei to the martial arts arena, this was his first time here, even in his past life as Lu Shao Yu, he had never been.

  All the way, Lu Mei was showing kindness to Lu Shaoyou, and Lu Shaoyou just smiled calmly, without knowing what this little woman was thinking in her heart.

  At this time, Lu Shaoyou and the other two arrived at the martial arts arena, where a group of Lu family juniors who were going to offer sacrifices had already gathered. They were all eager to try their skills, and this was a great opportunity for them. If they could make a big splash, even if they couldn't represent the Lu family in the decisive battle against the various families of Qingyun Town, they would still be able to receive cultivation from within the Lu family, which would be very beneficial for their future prospects.

  Lu Shaoyou's gaze swept across the entire scene, where hundreds of Lu family servants and clan members were gathered outside the martial arts arena, with at least 400 to 500 people present. From a distance, Lu Shaoyou spotted both Lu Xiaobai and his mother in attendance, with Lu Xiaobai waving her hand non-stop.

  "Alright, everyone get ready for the assessment. You young ones, whether you're dragons or worms will be revealed after this test. Give it your all! This time is still the same as before, at the level of a Grand Dao Warrior. Later on, each of you will receive a reward of two 2nd-grade elixirs. The last two winners will each receive a reward of 2,000 gold coins." At this moment, on the high platform, Lu Dong, Lu Xi, Lu Nan, Zhao Hui and others were already seated, along with several elderly seniors from the Lu family.

  "Two thousand gold coins, second-grade elixir, what a pity I'm not a warrior." Many of the younger generation of the Lu family couldn't help but sigh, among the hundreds of young people in the Lu family, only a handful had reached the level of a warrior. However, at this moment, there were also several people who burst out laughing, and they were Zhou Haiming and Lu Shaotiger.

  "Shaoyou Ge, you seem to have become a warrior already, keep up the good work, I'm rooting for you." Lu Mei smiled sweetly at Lu Shaoyou.
