Chapter 1748: Chapter 587: Mysterious Turtle Foretells Zhenhai’s Fortune and Misfortune, Lu Qingxuan Governs the House!
"Just go ahead and do it."
Lu Miaoyun had always treated Lu Qingxuan as her own son and handed the Thousand Faces Puppet Fox to him, speaking softly.
It’s inevitable for such things to happen in the growth of a family.
In the early years, there were instances of oppression and bullying at Bi Lake Mountain, and even Lu Ping’an dealt with a few cases.
Now that this atmosphere has emerged again in the family, it must be curbed!
...
A few days later.
Bi Lake Mountain, in front of Bi Yun Peak, was surrounded by Lu Family disciples.
Seven Lu Family disciples and five disciples from other surnames were seen kneeling in the middle of the square.
For Lu Qingxuan, as long as he had a general idea, he was willing to spend time investigating the misconduct of family disciples. It was extremely easy.
With just a question, he could tell whether the other party was lying.
Then he would use the Six Desires Heart Demon Technique, and with a single thought, he could know everything about the matter.
"Our Lu Family has rules: no oppressing others, no indulgence in lust and plunder, nor damaging the family reputation!"
"Especially when interacting with other family forces, follow the etiquette and rules. Do not secretly engage in interests!"
Lu Qingxuan, dressed in a blue long robe, looked coldly at the twelve people before him and spoke in a stern voice.
Things weren’t too serious.
Some forces deliberately sent people to contact Lu Family disciples, forming friendships through feasts, offering gains from so-called ’relic adventures,’ or sending women as concubines to Lu Family disciples.
But these Lu Family disciples had already shown signs of corruption.
This trend cannot rise and must be curbed!
As soon as he finished speaking, a green Flying Sword shot out from his hand, like a dazzling flowing light.
"Puff puff puff—"
The heads of the five disciples from other surnames were instantly separated, and blood splattered.
"Family Head, spare us!"
"Qingxuan!"
All Lu Family disciples turned pale at the scene.
No one expected this normally gentle and courteous brother to act so ruthlessly.
With a single word, he executed five people.
The remaining seven Lu Family disciples were also visibly panicked, fearing that Lu Qingxuan might cut them down too.
Though two of them were sons of Lu Changsheng, their talents were average, and their mother was a common maid, not favored at Bi Lake Mountain.
It was precisely for this reason that they became corrupted, indulging in pleasure.
"If violated, the punishment is whipping and expulsion from the family!"
"Considering you all bear the blood of the Lu Family, and the matter isn’t severe, the punishment is thirty lashes, revocation of Lu Family disciple privileges, and demotion to apprentice for ten years."
Lu Qingxuan, maintaining his usual refined demeanor, spoke coldly.
"Execute the punishment!"
Immediately, several Lu Family disciples stepped forward to whip the seven Lu Family disciples.
The whip used for this punishment was no ordinary whip; it was called the Wolf Poison Whip.
The lash was vigorous, like wolf fangs tearing, and the wounds were hard to heal, causing an intense piercing pain, often used by family forces for punishment.
With these whips, the seven people immediately had twisted faces, their back flesh was blurred, and they cried out in pain.
But at this moment, no one dared plead.
After all, the seven made the mistake first.
And Lu Qingxuan was clearly using this opportunity to set an example, curbing the family’s atmosphere!
Moreover, with such a large scene, Lu Ping’an, Lu Yun, Lu Wangshu, and several Main Mothers didn’t intervene, indicating approval of the matter.
In such circumstances, who in the venue dared to plead?
Furthermore, Lu Qingxuan’s earlier action, killing five disciples from other surnames with one sword, also intimidated everyone present.
Realizing this brother, uncle, cousin, wasn’t as refined and gentle as he seemed.
"Ah—"
One of the Lu Family disciples fainted after ten lashes due to the pain.
"Someone treat him, and continue the punishment after he wakes!"
However, Lu Qingxuan spoke coldly.
Thus, amidst cries and pain, the seven completed the whipping, their backs a blur of flesh.
"Alright, send them back for healing."
Lu Qingxuan looked on without further comment, calling for people to send the seven back to their residences, marking the end of the matter.
Lu Qingqi watched her departing brother and quickly caught up, asking, "Brother, isn’t this a bit... not very good?"
Even she found her brother a bit frightening.
"Sometimes, one must use a thunderous approach to curb the atmosphere, especially now when our family’s reputation is rising, and every action is under scrutiny."
"After today, these outsiders will only fear me and be wary of me. As for the others..."
Lu Qingxuan sighed lightly and continued, "Since they’re of our father’s bloodline and brothers in the family... going too far isn’t appropriate; achieving a deterrent effect is enough."
"Even if they’re unwilling and have resentment, in the face of right and wrong, they should still comply..."
Of course, there was something he didn’t say.
While Lu Family disciples share basic welfare benefits, there’s an elite education system in truth.
These ordinary disciples may resent, but they can’t stir up any turmoil.
"If father and older brother handled this, it would be better. I think your approach will still make some dissatisfied."
Lu Qingqi spoke softly, feeling her brother was somewhat unfamiliar today.
The good reputation her brother had in the family might be affected by today’s events.
"Father is currently breaking through Core Formation and has many things to be busy with. He also has to cultivate, so he can’t mind such things. The same goes for our brother."
"As the Family Head now, it’s natural for me to handle it."
Lu Qingxuan smiled and said, "Though I owe you a lot, sister."
"I didn’t contribute much, but brother, what technique did you use earlier that made people confess so easily..."
Lu Qingqi, seeing her brother still as he was, didn’t mind and acted as she usually did.
Though siblings, they were like close friends.
"Hopefully today can curb this trend."
After separating from his sister, Lu Qingxuan returned to his courtyard to reflect on the situation.
Suspecting similar circumstances may exist in Jinxia Valley and Heming Mountain.
After all, at Bi Lake Mountain, there was family oversight, so there was some fear and caution.
However, once away from the family and long-term outside, a mindset of taking chances might develop.
