Chapter 292: Encountering The Three Great Families En Route

Translator: Atlas Studios      Editor: Atlas Studios

Just as Lu Yu was sprinting to the deeper regions of the Primal Chaos Secret Realm, the rest of the three great families were also on their way to the Primal Chaos Secret Realm’s deeper regions.

After detecting the presence of a big mass of War General-level auras, Lu Yu decisively stopped pushing forward.

After some careful deliberation, Lu Yu slowly sneaked forward in the direction from which the auras originated.

As Lu Yu got closer and closer to the three great families, Lu Yu discovered two auras from among these cultivators that felt somewhat familiar to him.

Sure enough, when Lu Yu sneaked up to a patch of forest next to these cultivators, the glimpse of an attractive woman among the crowd immediately caught Lu Yu’s attention.

“So it’s the people from the three great families. No wonder there’s such a big commotion…”

Lu Yu saw Ying Mei’er in the crowd and immediately guessed the identity of this group of cultivators.

As he scanned the group of people, Lu Yu located Song Yu in the crowd of people too.

“Who would have thought! The Song family had even sent Song Yu, the eldest daughter of the family, this time! It seems that Yao Xianming didn’t lie to me. Something huge has indeed happened!”

As Lu Yu muttered to himself, he carefully observed each member of the three great families.

Just as Lu Yu was secretly sizing up the members of the three great families, the young man leading the Ying family turned his eyes in the direction where Lu Yu was hiding.

In the next second, before Lu Yu could react, a ray of bright light flew out from the hands of the young man leading the Ying family. It shot straight towards the place where Lu Yu was hiding!

Lu Yu instantly ducked when he felt the faint killing intent. Only then did he manage to dodge the attack of the young man from the Ying family.

However, at the same time the young man from the Ying family launched his attack, the other people from the three great families surrounded Lu Yu.

Hemmed in by the members of the three great families, Lu Yu did not dare to let his guard down. He immediately drew out the Blood Emperor Battle Saber.

However, just when Lu Yu was ready to go on a killing spree, Song Yu dashed out from one side and appeared in front of Lu Yu just in time. Raising her hand, she spoke out to stop the people from the three great families.

“Stop right there! He is not our enemy!”

Seeing the eldest daughter of the Song family, Song Yu, standing in front of Lu Yu to shield him, the group of people from the three great families decided to give up taking action against Lu Yu.

“Lu Yu, it has been a long time since we last met. I’d never have expected to see you in the Primal Chaos Secret Realm.”

After stopping the three great families, Song Yu then turned around and greeted Lu Yu with a smile.

“Ahem. It’s been a long time indeed, Miss Song. I didn’t expect to be saved by you in this reunion.”

Lu Yu looked at Song Yu, whom he had not seen for some time, and smiled awkwardly.

After hearing Lu Yu’s words, Song Yu, however, smiled gently and gave Lu Yu a meaningful look. Then she said slowly, “Even if I don’t make a move today, these people are no match for you with your current cultivation level, right?”

Lu Yu did not say anything when he heard that. He simply smiled at Song Yu in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

At this moment, the youth from the Ying family who tried to attack Lu Yu walked over.

Once he arrived in front of Lu Yu and Song Yu, he smiled and asked Song Yu, “Looks like Sister Song Yu knows this brother. What? Aren’t you going to introduce him to your younger brother here?”

When the Ying family youth uttered his query, Song Yu couldn’t help but frown slightly. Nevertheless, she still restrained her impatience and introduced Lu Yu to him.

“This is a friend I met when I was stationed at Lunan City, Lu Yu!”

“Lu Yu, this guy is the son of the Ying family’s Patriarch, Ying You!”

After listening to Song Yu’s introduction, Lu Yu scrutinized Ying You in front of him closely.

He had to admit that Ying You, as the son of Ying Chao and the future head of the whole Ying family, made Lu Yu feel a sensation he had never felt before.

By comparison, if those arrogant and tyrannical young masters from the influential families Lu Yu had met before were a group of useless trash with no sharpness in them, then Ying You in front of Lu Yu made Lu Yu feel as if he was facing a sharp blade that could be unsheathed at any time!

After sensing this, Lu Yu couldn’t help feeling a little curious about this son of the Ying family’s Patriarch that he had just met.

Lu Yu could not have imagined that a successor like Ying You was hiding in the Ying family, one of the four great families, all this while.

While Lu Yu was sizing up Ying You, the son of the Ying family’s Patriarch was also sizing up Lu Yu.

As the future ruler of the Ying Family, Ying You would never underestimate Lu Yu, someone whom even Song Yu would step forward to help.

Having undergone Ying Chao’s painstaking training, Ying You could naturally guess that Song Yu, who was the eldest daughter of the Song family, would not be so kind as to help an ordinary and common person.

If this guy could make Song Yu step out to help, that only proved that there was something about Lu Yu that Song Yu regarded very highly!

When he thought of this, Ying You then smiled and cupped his hands at Lu Yu and said, “Pleased to meet you, Brother Lu Yu!”

“The pleasure is all mine, Young Master Ying You.”

After Ying You’s greeting, Lu Yu returned the courtesy in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

Now that the two were already acquainted with each other, Song Yu smiled and instructed the members of the three great families around them.

“Alright. Everything is fine now. It just so happened that we have also covered quite a lot of distance, so we can all stop and rest for a while!” In response to Song Yu’s proposal, Ying You also expressed his approval.

“We’ll do as Sister Song Yu suggested. Everyone stop and rest in place for a while!”

In this way, after this small interlude whereby they encountered Lu Yu, the people from the three great families began to rest in place.

Not surprisingly, Song Yu pulled Lu Yu over to the Song family’s side and sat him down with the group of Song family members.

As Song Yu, who had not seen Lu Yu for a long time, dragged Lu Yu aside, she began firing a series of questions at him.

“Lu Yu, when did you enter the Primal Chaos Secret Realm?”

“And what is your current cultivation level? Why do I feel that I somehow can’t quite sense your ability now?”

In the face of Song Yu’s questioning, Lu Yu could only smile helplessly as he replied, “I was sent in by the capital’s Supreme Commander five days ago. It’s just that I have been exploring the outer edge of the secret realm the last few days, and it was only today that I was ready to head to the deeper regions.”

Lu Yu only answered Song Yu’s first question, but chose to turn a blind eye to Song Yu’s second question.

Seeing that Lu Yu did not answer her second question, Song Yu did not say anything although there was some dissatisfaction in her heart.

After all, she and Lu Yu only knew each other superficially, and were not that close. It was not very appropriate to ask such questions in the first place.

After chatting with Song Yu for a while, Lu Yu’s gaze turned to Ying You, who was surrounded by the Ying family members in a protective circle.

After noticing Lu Yu looking in his direction, Ying You quickly raised his hand and waved towards Lu Yu with a faint smile.

Looking at Ying You waving his hand at him, Lu Yu hesitated for a moment before raising his hand to wave at him as well.

Nonetheless, even while Lu Yu waved his hand, he shot a glance at Ying Mei’er without showing any emotion..
