Chapter 818: Chapter 397: The Yu Family Members in Immense Shock Chapter 818: Chapter 397: The Yu Family Members in Immense Shock In the blink of an eye, another day had passed.

Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.

Inside the room where the Luo Family Patriarch resided.

At this time, the entire Brain Trust under the Qingshi City Luo Family was gathered in this room, which was neither particularly large nor small.

And there sat Luo Ping, the current Patriarch of the Qingshi City Luo Family.

At that moment, he was seated in the main seat, quietly thumbing through a set of political affairs documents that had been processed by the Brain Trust.

As he read, Luo Ping’s brows would occasionally furrow slightly.

In fact, most of the time, Luo Ping, the current Patriarch of the Qingshi City Luo Family, could easily implement and carry out the political affairs handled by the Brain Trust.

Regrettably, there were always some rather peculiar individuals within the Brain Trust.

These peculiar individuals constantly tested the attitude of Luo Ping, their current Family Patriarch.

They would submit some utterly preposterous political affairs for him to address.

It seemed they were hoping he wouldn’t take his work too seriously, allowing the more outrageous policies to be implemented and carried out.

This often left Luo Ping, the current Patriarch of the Luo Family, feeling quite vexed.

Although he was the current Patriarch of the Qingshi City Luo Family.

Although, for the most part, the Luo Family was his to command.

Yet, when such issues became too frequent, they were always troublesome.

“Sigh…”

After taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling,
Luo Ping, sitting in the main seat of the room, set down the political document in his hand.

Then, he casually picked up the cup of tea that had been sitting beside him for who knows how long.

He brought it to his lips and took small sips.

After he finished the tea in his hand,
He silently raised his head and swept his gaze over the Brain Trust members in the room.

The Brain Trust members, sensing the gaze of their Family Patriarch Luo Ping,
all lowered their heads with an air of nervousness.

Seeing this, Luo Ping shook his head with some resignation.

Then he turned his gaze silently towards the world outside the room.

Just yesterday, news of victory had arrived from the border area between the Qingshi City Luo Family and the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family.

The remaining two of the Great Millennium Families under the Imperial Feng Family had already suffered defeat.

Among them, one of the two Great Millennium Families, the Wan Family, had been wiped out completely.

The last one, the Yu Family, immediately knelt in surrender, apparently wanting to switch sides.

The Yan Family of Tianyin City dared not make any decisions about such matters on their own.

Thus, Luo Yao, the Young Family Head of the Qingshi City Luo Family in Tianyin City, quickly made his way toward the Luo Family Ancestral Land in Qingshi City with the Yu Family entourage.

Calculating the time, they should be nearly here by now, right?

…

Back in the room.

Luo Ping, the current Patriarch of the Qingshi City Luo Family,
pondered this matter while quietly pouring himself another cup of tea.

As the hot tea was poured from the teapot,
wisps of white steam began to rise in front of Luo Ping’s eyes.

Just as Luo Ping was about to bring the hot cup of tea to his lips,
slowly sipping it,
suddenly, a mysterious, black-clothed Cultivator appeared before him in the room.

This Mysterious Cultivator was not one of the strongest and most mysterious Shadow Guards of the Qingshi City Luo Family,
but rather a Cultivator who had been weeded out and did not make it into the Shadow Guard system,
meaning this individual was one of the reserves for the Shadow Guard.

Although this person had been eliminated from the Shadow Guards and became a reserve,
their strength was not something ordinary Cultivators could match.

“What is it?”

Luo Ping quietly put down the cup of hot tea in his hand.

Then, he turned his gaze to the black-clothed Cultivator before him.

He looked at the person in front of him and asked in a low voice.

The black-clothed Cultivator bowed slightly, speaking with utmost respect, “Patriarch, the Young Family Head has returned…”

The voice of the black-clothed Cultivator was not loud,
yet it clearly reached the ears of everyone in the room.

Upon hearing this,
Luo Ping, who was seated in the main seat, brightened up.

He stood up excitedly.

“The lad is back?”

However, as soon as Luo Ping finished speaking, he promptly sat down again in his seat.

After all, as the current Patriarch of the Qingshi City Luo Family,
he still needed to maintain a certain demeanor.

After Luo Ping slightly adjusted his emotions,
he instructed the black-clothed Cultivator before him in a low voice, “Since the lad has returned, escort him here to see me promptly…”

After the black-clothed Cultivator bowed respectfully, he vanished from the room.

…

Outside Qingshi City, at the city gate.

At this time, Luo Ping, the Young Master Luo of the Luo Family,
was silently controlling the Sky-float Boat beneath him as it descended steadily towards the ground.

Despite being the Young Family Head of the Qingshi City Luo Family,
he, too, strictly abided by the rules and protocols of Qingshi City most of the time.
