Chapter 40: Preparation for the Ancestral Worship

"Uncle Nan, when programmers have those dog days, they read everything." Lu Shaoyou turned around, but there was no sign of Uncle Nan; he couldn't see him anywhere.

"What are you looking at?" Lu Wushuang asked Lu Shaoyou, puzzled.

"Nothing." Lu Shaoyou replied, "Sister Wushuang, what's the competition in the clan today like?"

"So, have you changed your mind?" Lu Wushuang smiled slightly and then said, "Today, the clan will first conduct a test. Those who have reached the Warrior level or above can participate in the competition. The final two will represent the Lu family in the Qingyun Town to compete with other major families. The other younger generation members with better talent will be cultivated within the clan."

"Oh." Lu Shaoyou responded lightly. By this time, the two of them had already arrived at a spacious courtyard. On the way, whenever the servants saw Lu Shaoyou, they would nod, and their expressions were completely different from before.

"We've arrived." Lu Wushuang said to Lu Shaoyou.

"Lu Family Ancestral Hall." Lu Shaoyou focused on the four large green characters outside the courtyard, which were written in a thick and powerful style, unlike those of ordinary people, making him somewhat curious.

"Miss Wushuang." Outside the courtyard, two servants bowed respectfully and then looked at Lu Shaoyou curiously.

"Shaoyou, let's go in." Lu Wushuang said to Lu Shaoyou.

Following Lu Wushuang, Lu Shaoyou entered the ancestral hall. In front of the hall was a spacious courtyard, where over a hundred people had already gathered. Lu Shaoyou glanced around and recognized that these were all direct and collateral descendants of the Lu family, all of the younger generation.

Lu Shaoyou immediately noticed Lu Shaohu, Zhou Haiming, and others, who were surrounded by a group of people. His expression remained unchanged, and he ignored them.

Seeing Lu Wushuang and Lu Shaoyou, almost everyone's expression changed. The Lu family disciples present were naturally very familiar with Lu Shaoyou, and his identity had always been a laughingstock in the Lu family.

"Why is he here?"

"Isn't he not a member of the Lu family, so he can't enter the ancestral hall?"

"I heard that Lu Shaoyou has actually become a Warrior and has reached the Warrior level. He must have been allowed to enter the ancestral hall because of this. The family head might want to recognize him as a member of the Lu family."

"Warrior level, that's not bad. When Miss Wushuang was sixteen, she was also at the Warrior level. Now she is a disciple of the Yunyang Sect."

"What do you know? This time, Lu Shaohu and Zhou Haiming are said to have reached the Warrior level. Lu Mei and Lu Shaoyong are almost at the Warrior level."

"Being a direct descendant is still better. We, the collateral descendants, are at a disadvantage from the start."

Some people began to whisper, and almost everyone in the Lu family knew about Lu Shaoyou's recent achievement as a Warrior.

"Shouldn't those who are not members of the Lu family leave the ancestral hall? Can just anyone come in?" A mocking voice came from Lu Shaohu.

Lu Shaoyou's expression darkened slightly. Lu Shaohu was clearly talking about him. From his memories, Lu Shaohu had often bullied the original Lu Shaoyou.

"Lu Shaoyou, I'm talking about you. What are you doing here in the ancestral hall?" Zhou Haiming mocked. He had been remembering the incident in the back garden where Lu Shaoyou had outshone him and had been harboring resentment ever since.

"What are you doing here? When did the Zhou family become the Lu family?" Lu Shaoyou smiled faintly. If it weren't for his mother's request, he wouldn't have come to the ancestral hall. As for Zhou Haiming, from his memories, he wasn't much better, and neither were his second aunt and her husband, so he didn't need to give them any face.

"You...!" Zhou Haiming was instantly furious and then said coldly, "I don't want to argue with a little bastard like you."

"Zhou Haiming, that's enough. Shaoyou came because my father asked him to. What right do you have to say anything?" Lu Wushuang scolded.

Zhou Haiming was furious but didn't dare to say much in front of Lu Wushuang. He glared at Lu Shaoyou and then stopped.

"Sister Wushuang, Uncle doesn't have the right to let him come. He's not a member of the Lu family," Lu Shaohu said, looking at Lu Shaoyou.

"Lu Shaohu, this is Grandfather's decision. If you have any issues, go talk to Grandfather," Lu Wushuang replied.

Hearing Lu Wushuang's words, Lu Shaohu's expression changed slightly, and he didn't say anything more. The old family head of the Lu family was the highest authority, and no one dared to challenge him.

"Sister Wushuang, why did you come so late?" In the crowd, Lu Mei, dressed in a luxurious robe, walked up to Lu Wushuang. Though young, she already exuded a charming aura, with a graceful figure and a slightly developed chest that gave off a pure and innocent charm.

Lu Mei stood next to Lu Wushuang and also looked at Lu Shaoyou. Her eyes no longer held the usual disdain but had a different meaning.

Lu Shaoyou glanced at Lu Mei. From her eyes, he could tell she was a cunning woman. At such a young age, she was already like this; he could only imagine what she would be like when she grew up. It was best to stay away from her.

"Right, it's not too late to come now," Lu Wushuang said.

"Grandfather is here, Fourth Uncle is here, look!" A slight commotion arose in the crowd. At that moment, several figures walked into the courtyard. The first person was a man with a commanding presence, dressed in a long robe. Lu Shaoyou recognized him as the eldest of the Lu family, Lu Dong.

Beside Lu Dong was a woman in plain clothes, with a dignified and graceful demeanor. She was Lu Dong's wife, Lady Huang, and also Lu Wushuang's adoptive mother.

On Lu Dong's left was a middle-aged man in blue attire, who bore a slight resemblance to Lu Dong. He was broad-shouldered and had sharp eyes. Lu Shaoyou was familiar with him; he was the original Lu Shaoyou's fourth uncle, Lu Xi, and beside him was his wife, Lady Chen.

The last person was a middle-aged woman in a luxurious robe, with her hair in a bun and a touch of makeup on her face. She was the original Lu Shaoyou's second aunt, the second eldest of the Lu family, Lu Nan.

The Lu family, including an adopted son, consisted of five people: Lu Dong, Lu Nan, Lu Zhong, Lu Xi, and Lu Bei. Lu Shaoyou's father was the third eldest, Lu Zhong.

At that moment, a middle-aged man in a luxurious robe stood beside Lu Nan, who was her husband, Zhou Lixing. Looking at the group, Lu Shaoyou's expression changed slightly. Zhao Hui was also there, dressed in fine clothes, with a haughty air, and she was glaring at Lu Shaoyou.

Lu Shaoyou thought to himself that Zhao Hui probably wouldn't want him to enter the ancestral hall, but she didn't say anything, probably because Uncle or the so-called grandfather had spoken, and she couldn't oppose them.

Among the Lu family members, Lu Shaoyou didn't see his so-called father or his fourth uncle, Lu Bei, who was Lu Mei's father. Besides these people, Lu Shaoyou also recognized a few elders of the Lu family, who held high positions and were considered clan elders. Important matters in the Lu family had to be decided by the elders.

When Lu Dong and the others arrived, the others didn't dare to speak and stood quietly in their places.

"Everyone, come in." Lu Dong glanced at everyone present, his gaze lingering on Lu Shaoyou for a moment, and then he said to the crowd.

Everyone followed Lu Dong and the others into the ancestral hall, with Lu Shaoyou entering last.

The ancestral hall was even larger than Lu Shaoyou had imagined, large enough to accommodate everyone. In the center of the hall, there was a row of spirit tablets, each inscribed with the names of the Lu family's ancestors.

Lu Shaoyou glanced around but wasn't particularly interested. The hall also had over a hundred cushions, and everyone lined up, with the direct descendants at the front and the collateral descendants at the back.
