Female Novel
Chapter 519 The Promise
Lu Han was shocked to see Chen Hao.
He was the interesting guy whom she met at the railway station earlier!
When Lu Han wanted to get closer to verify him once more, Chen Hao got into a car and left.
“Chen Hao! Chen Hao!” Lu Han scratched her head. Was it an illusion?
Why is Chen Hao here? And Father opened the car door for him!
Just then, a young man and a young woman walked toward her. They were Lu Chao and Lu Xue.
“What’s wrong, Han?” Lu Xue asked.
“Sis, guess who I saw just now?” Lu Han asked.
“Who?”
“Chen Hao!”
“Who’s Chen Hao?” Lu Xue frowned and asked.
“That handsome guy whom we met at the railway station a few days ago!”
“That brat? Lu Han, are you keeping in touch with him? Why is he here?” Lu Chao asked scornfully.
“You must have seen wrongly. He didn’t even know who you were. It’s not possible for him to enter our
house!” Lu Xue shook her head and said.
She had already told Lu Han to keep her distance with strangers.
Like the young masters from the Wang Family and the Su Family, they should walk around more.
But they had to keep in mind that they were from the Lu Family.
However, Lu Han wouldn’t listen to her advice.
“You don’t believe me? Fine. I really saw Chen Hao, and our dad even opened the car door for him! I
have to go find out how they met!” Lu Han ran away excitedly.
“Come back, Han!” Lu Xue shouted after her anxiously. “Lu Chao, we have to go after her. It’s a
dangerous time for us. All the descendants of the Lu Family are forbidden to go out!”
“Huh? What dangerous time?”
“Father just told me that. Anyway, we have to stop her from running about. Let’s go after her!” With that,
Lu Xue and Lu Chao chased after Lu Han.
As the night fell, a group of men was confronting a man at Bing Lake on the outskirts of Long Jiang.
“Lu Zongyuan, the Lu Family is great indeed. You actually managed to ask for help! However, did you
really think that these guys will be able to stop me? Who are you kidding?” A man in his mid thirties
was standing in front of Lu Zongyuan with his arms behind his back.
With a stubble and a scar on his face, he looked as though he had been through the vicissitudes of life.
His eyes, however, emanated a murderous aura that made people’s blood run cold.
“Wang Dahai, you’ve murdered two descendants of the Lu Family during the past two weeks! We have
to settle this score today! You and your cunning dad were the ones that brought the downfall of your
family. You guys deserved it!” Lu Zongyuan bellowed.
“Shut up! No matter what you say, or who you seek help from, you are going to die here! You’re here
just at the right timing—I’m planning to let you witness your descendants in the Lu Family die one after
another! I shall start from today then! After I catch you, I’ll let you witness everyone in the Lu Family
getting killed in front of you!
“Insolent brat! Let me see what you’ve got!”
After finishing his sentence, Zhang Tie rushed toward him.
It was obvious that Zhang Tie had trained a lot of lethal skills. Not only was he extremely powerful, he
was ruthless in his attacks as well.
But compared to Wang Dahai, he lagged behind in both speed and force.
When Wang Dahai got tired of fighting, he abruptly struck at Zhang Tie’s weak points.
It became very dangerous.
“Let me help you!” Meng Kang took the fatal blow for Zhang Tie, thus saving his life.
“His moves seem familiar,” Chen Hao mumbled as he analyzed Wang Dahai’s fighting style at a side.novelbin
After some time, he understood his fighting style.
He figured out that Wang Dahai and the man whom he just killed were from the same background.
Wang Dahai was obviously better than him.
He had already trained his Inner Energy for a long time, probably even before Meng Kang started his
training.
The longer the practitioner took to train, the stronger his Inner Energy became.
It was similar to wine—wine that was kept for a year had a different taste compared to one which was
just recently brewed.
This was the case with Wang Dahai.
Even though Meng Kang had more experience, Wang Dahai’s Inner Energy was stronger.
After fifty rounds of fighting, Meng Kang clutched his chest and staggered back.
He could not take Wang Dahai’s attacks anymore.
“What are you doing here, Han?” Lu Han was hiding among some bushes on the other side of the lake.
She covered her mouth while she was watching the fight.
She was taken aback when someone tapped on her shoulder.
“Sis, what are you two doing here?”
“We were worried about you! What are you doing here?” Lu Xue asked.
“Shhh! Be quiet, sis. Look, Dad and Chen Hao are here! Pity we couldn’t see them clearer,” Lu Han
said anxiously.
“Dad said we have an enemy named Wang Dahai. Looks like they are all fighting against him now.
Luckily we came to look for you, otherwise you might ruin Father’s important plans! As for Chen Hao,
why is he here?” Lu Xue was surprised to find him there.
They didn’t dare to leave as well. The three of the siblings—Lu Han, Lu Xue, Lu Chao— watched the
fight from a distance intently.
“Mr. Chen, Master Meng couldn’t take it anymore! It’s your turn now!” Lu Zongyuan pointed to Wang
Dahai and exclaimed.
Chen Hao took a deep breath and kept quiet, with his hands behind his back.
“M-Mr. Chen, you can’t back off right now! I waged my entire family on this fight tonight!” Seeing that
Chen Hao didn’t have any intentions to join the fight, Lu Zongyuan became anxious and pleaded once
more. “Do you have other requests? Just say what you want, and I shall do my best to fulfill it!”
“I heard that the ancestors of the Lu Family were known for taming beasts, and a scripture called
Scripture of Beasts was passed down generations upon generations in the Lu Family?” Chen Hao
spoke slowly.
Lu Zongyuan’s heart sank.
He glanced at Meng Kang who was in an intense fight with Wang Dahai and laughed apologetically.
“Mr. Chen, that was our ancestors’ skill, but it’s long gone now. Look at us, we don’t know anything
about it!”
Unconvinced, Chen Hao put both of his hands in his pockets.
Meanwhile, Meng Kang was sent flying after being hit by Wang Dahai.
Lu Zongyuan grew more anxious as seconds ticked by.
He thought Chen Hao could be dismissed easily by money and fame from the Lu Family. Perhaps, he
could even work for them.
And he could not let Meng Kang down as well.
But now Lu Zongyuan only saw Chen Hao clearly.
Apparently, he wanted something more than that. Something that they had inherited generations after
generations from their ancestors. It must be Meng Kang who told him about the Scripture of Beasts.
He decided to change his mind suddenly to take advantage of the situation and force Lu Zongyuan to
give it to him.
Indeed, the Lu Family had the Scripture of Beasts, which could help people understand communication
between animals. The Lu Family’s business started because of this scripture, and it was passed down
until now.
However, since the final phase of China's Republican Era, hence the members of the Lu Family
thought it was irrelevant and didn’t bother learning anymore.
The scripture still remained in the family as something valuable that would be passed down to the next
generation.
Even though it was not used anymore, Lu Zongyuan knew the value of the scripture.
Obviously, he felt that he was being scammed by Chen Hao.
“All right, Mr. Chen. If you can save the Lu Family from him, I am willing to give you the Scripture of
Beasts as a token of appreciation!”
