Chapter 1411: Chapter 1408: Only by Understanding Awe Can One Possess Everything (2nd Update)

Luo Jian’s words made Luo Jingting’s entire body shiver.

She could never have imagined that, after just one meeting, he could deduce so much.

Meanwhile, Xue An seemed to have anticipated everything.

The entire process felt as though she alone had been the fool.

At that moment, Xue An chuckled, "Not bad. It seems you’re indeed quite sharp!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Just then, Xue An abruptly asked, "Now let me ask you, do you want to seize control of the Luo Family?"

This sudden question sent a violent tremor through Luo Jian’s body, and he looked at Xue An in shock.

"Sir..."

"Don’t be surprised. I’m just asking: Do you want it or not?" Xue An spoke leisurely.

Luo Jian fell into deep thought.

The reason he’d come visiting late at night was merely to acquaint himself with this enigmatic master. Never had he expected such a question, which left him utterly stunned.

Yet, witnessing Xue An’s display of power just moments ago stirred a sliver of hope in Luo Jian’s heart.

What if... it could truly happen?

Xue An wasn’t impatient; he simply watched Luo Jian silently.

After some time, Luo Jian slowly exhaled deeply and solemnly nodded his head.

"Of course I want it! But..."

Before he could elaborate, Xue An decisively cut him off, "Good. Then it’s settled!"

Luo Jian’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared blankly at Xue An.

Settled? What does that even mean?

It’s well known that seizing control of the Luo Family is no easy feat.

Though the Luo Family might not compare to the grand clans of the Central Ghost Realm, their strength was still formidable.

Add to that the presence of Luo Qifeng and his loyal faction, as well as the Family Head and the council of elders—these were obstacles hard to overlook.

And yet, with so many difficulties, he reduced them to one casual remark?

"What’s the matter? You don’t trust me?" Xue An asked evenly.

"Ah... no, I trust you! Of course, I trust you!" Luo Jian hurriedly responded, nodding vigorously.

Xue An let out a chuckle and, with a shift in tone, continued, "As the seventh young master of the Luo Family, you must have some influence of your own, correct?"

Luo Jian nodded, "I do!"

"Good. I want you, when you return, to conduct a thorough cleanup of your own circle. Those who wreak havoc and act without restraint—you should already know what to do!"

Though Xue An’s tone was indifferent, Luo Jian detected an overpowering murderous intent within it. Without hesitation, he nodded, "Understood!"

This decisive response earned a slight softening of Xue An’s expression. Rising to his feet, he walked slowly to the window, gazing outside. "You’re smart enough to guess why I want you to do this."

Watching Xue An’s back, Luo Jian suddenly realized something. His whole body began to tremble, and a previously unseen reverence emerged in his eyes.

"You... you mean...?"

"Exactly. Tomorrow’s banquet should be quite lively, wouldn’t you say?"

Luo Jian finally fell silent. Bowing deeply, he expressed his awe toward this youthful figure whose name he still did not know.

"Go now! I’ll give you one day. I hope you won’t disappoint me!" Xue An ordered calmly without turning back.

Luo Jian bent down in a respectful bow before quietly retreating, descending the staircase and vanishing into the boundless night.

The second floor fell silent once more.

Luo Jingting stood there in a state of pale-faced unease. Everything that had transpired was clearly beyond her ability to comprehend.

As someone entirely inexperienced in the treacheries of human nature, she could only stand idly, overwhelmed by confusion.

Wen Muling gazed at Xue An’s back but seemed hesitant to speak.

"If you’ve something to say, just say it!"

Wen Muling hesitated briefly before softly asking, "Sir, why place so much importance on Luo Jian?"

"Importance?" Xue An shook his head. "I haven’t placed any importance on him!"

"Hmm? But just now, you..."

"Do you know? Clans like the Luo Family are impossible to entirely eradicate! Even back when I and that Nether Monarch swept through the Ghost Realm, such clans remained intact. And once the forces suppressing them are gone, they waste no time resuming their atrocities!" Xue An suddenly explained.

"Then you...?" Wen Muling thought to herself, given this truth, why bother elevating Luo Jian?

Xue An smiled, "Just as you said earlier, I really haven’t placed importance on Luo Jian. It’s simply because he shows some sense of reverence and hasn’t committed any major evils. That’s why I granted him this chance!"

Turning his gaze outside the window into the night, Xue An continued in a detached tone, "Darkness cannot be eradicated completely. While I can make them pay a price for now, eliminating one wave only allows another to rise. Given that, I’d rather select someone who understands restraint and reverence to take charge. That way, at least the evil can be somewhat contained. Do you see now?"

Upon hearing Xue An’s words, Wen Muling suddenly comprehended and, with newfound admiration, bowed deeply, "I understand!"

Meanwhile, in another courtyard of the Luo Family Mansion, Luo Xuan sat breathless in a chair amidst a room of utter chaos. The once-beautiful ornaments had been shattered into pieces.

On her delicate yet furious face were flashes of malevolence.

At that moment, a maid timidly stepped into the room.

"Miss!"

"What’s the status?"

"The eldest young master has returned to his own chambers!"

"Hmm? You’re saying he didn’t stay with the Wei siblings?"

"Correct!"

Luo Xuan’s face lit up instantly, a radiant glint flashing across it as she chuckled delightedly, "Good! Absolutely marvelous! Hahaha!"

Terrified by Luo Xuan’s deranged laughter, the maid kept silent, her face drained of color.

"However, there’s something else!"

"What is it?"

"The eldest young master has invited esteemed guests to tomorrow’s banquet!"

Luo Xuan’s expression instantly darkened. Her eyelids twitched uncontrollably as she began pacing back and forth in the room.

The maid kept her head bowed, trembling in fear.

Suddenly.

Luo Xuan, who had been pacing, came to a realization and started cackling maniacally.

The eerie, grating laughter turned the maid’s face ghastly pale as she shook with fear.

"Haha, what nonsense about that Wei family’s young lady—you really think I’m foolish? That so-called Wei young master today has quite the secrets! Ha, if she behaves tomorrow, fine. But if she dares approach my elder brother, I won’t show mercy!"

Indeed.

Luo Xuan harbored an unnatural obsession with her elder brother, Luo Qifeng.

Before this, she’d dismissed the visitor as merely a Wei family’s young master and didn’t pay it much mind.

But to her shock, the guest turned out to be a Wei family’s young lady.

Moreover, during the afternoon reception, Luo Xuan had witnessed the captivated look in her elder brother’s eyes, sparking a raging jealousy within her.
