Chapter 1178: Chapter 1177 Lü Wenbang’s Arrangement

Lü Peiwen looked utterly speechless; he simply could not fathom why Young Master Zhang felt guilty toward Beigong Yan.

"What about us then?" Lü Peiwen suddenly asked, "What kind of grudge do we have with Lü Donglin that he wants to challenge you?"

Lü Wenbang sighed, "Originally, when we encircled Beigong Yan, several major families joined hands to ask for my assistance. Moreover, during one such encirclement, I exchanged blows with her and struck her so severely that she was seriously injured. Later, after Beigong Yan died, Lü Donglin probably blamed me for it too!"

"Ah?" Lü Peiwen was dumbfounded, finally realizing why Lü Donglin wanted to challenge Lü Wenbang.

After a long silence, Lü Peiwen gritted his teeth and said, "There were so many people involved in the encirclement of Beigong Yan, why single us out? Moreover, his deceiving and using Young Master Zhang wasn’t any better; he deserved his fate, and he still has the face to seek revenge?"

Lü Wenbang glanced at his son and sighed lightly, "Victors be kings, losers be rogues; this world always abides by this principle. If he lacks the strength, he’ll never have the right to seek revenge. If he is strong enough, even if it is all his fault, he still has the right to seek revenge!"

Lü Wenbang spoke softly, but one could sense his reluctance in his tone.

His strength was formidable, yet, compared to the ascendant Beigong War God, he was far inferior. Moreover, his status in the Capital City did not compare to that of the Beigong War God either. Every time the Beigong War God was mentioned, he could not help but sigh.

"Then he must have the strength to seek revenge!" Lü Peiwen said, "Dad, you’ve hidden your true strength for so many years, no one knows how powerful you really are. His challenging you, isn’t that a suicide mission?"

"He might not know my details, but the Beigong War God certainly knows my strength," Lü Wenbang said, "I originally thought he would challenge me after more than a month when his strength could match mine. I didn’t expect him to move it up; it seems he’s on good terms with Su Yang!"

"Ah?" Lü Peiwen was startled, "What... what do you mean?"

Lü Wenbang sighed; he felt utterly helpless about his biological son. This son was nothing but a boorish brag outside, an ignorant brute at best, with a mind that couldn’t bear the family’s burden.

Lü Wenbang explained the current situation in the Capital City. After listening, Lü Peiwen was stunned, "So, you mean Lü Donglin is taking some pressure off Su Yang? Are... are they really that close?"

"They both graduated from Qinghe Academy and together they solved the issues concerning three other groups; it’s hard to say what their relationship is like!" Lü Wenbang said, "Nevertheless, we must be fully prepared. Otherwise, even if I defeat Lü Donglin, Su Yang might very well kill you!"

Lü Peiwen became panicked and said urgently, "Dad, I came back to discuss this matter with you. What should we do tonight? That Su guy will definitely be looking for me, this... this is dangerous..."

"Don’t worry," Lü Wenbang said, "Tonight, go to the Purple Lotus Garden."

"Why go there?" Lü Peiwen asked, puzzled.

"The place where I will have a showdown with Lü Donglin is at the Xishan Pavilion outside the Purple Lotus Garden," Lü Wenbang explained, "The Purple Lotus Garden is a location chosen by the Chen Family, and there will be some of their people there. I even heard that Chen Benhong himself will be there. I’ll arrange for someone to take you there, and have you sit near Chen Benhong."

Lü Peiwen’s eyes lit up, "Dad, are you planning to use Chen Benhong to deal with Su Yang?"

"Su Yang disrupted the Su Family of Yanbei’s marriage plans, defeated Chen Benhao, and also defeated Chen Benshuang at the Qinghe Academy; he’s already made a mortal enemy of the Chen Family." Lü Wenbang said, "When Su Yang shows up there, Chen Benhong will definitely not stand by idly. Once Chen Benhong makes a move, you’ll be safe!"

Lü Peiwen was overjoyed; his biggest worry was his own safety. Now that he had Chen Benhong as a shield, he had nothing to fear.

"Once Chen Benhong makes a move, that Su guy is doomed!" Lü Peiwen said through gritted teeth.

"Not necessarily!" Lü Wenbang shook his head, "Su Yang is not weak, he has even killed Wan Tianxiang of the Wan Family. Chen Benhong might not get much of an advantage over him."

"Chen Benhong’s strength is really strong, though. He is the Chen Family’s chosen successor, nurtured entirely by them. He usually doesn’t show his true power, simply keeping a low profile. I guess his strength might even be above Zhao Dongming’s." Lü Peiwen said, "But Su Yang, he’s not a match for Zhao Dongming!"

"That’s hard to say," Lü Wenbang still shook his head. "This Su Yang, he seems to be born for battle. With every fight, his strength improves a bit. Moreover, he has more than once slain foes stronger than him; even if Chen Benhong is stronger, he may not be able to defeat him."

"Really?" Lü Peiwen looked worried, "If Chen Benhong is not his match, then... wouldn’t I be in danger?"

"You don’t need to worry!" Lü Wenbang said, "What danger are you in? Indeed, if Chen Benhong is not his match, there are still others from the Chen Family. Once Chen Benhong engages him, then the matter isn’t just between you and him anymore, but becomes a matter between Chen Benhong and him, between the Chen Family and him. By then, he won’t have time to deal with you, so you don’t need to worry about these problems!"

Lü Peiwen’s eyes shone brightly, elatedly saying, "Yes, why didn’t I think of that? Once Chen Benhong steps in, what concerns me anymore? Haha, this time, I might as well sit back and enjoy the show!"

"Remember, if that Su guy finds you, you must drag everyone in the Capital City into this!" Lü Wenbang instructed, "That way, you can provoke public hostility against him and have others fight on your behalf!"

"Understood!" Lü Peiwen nodded excitedly, already calculating how to proceed in his mind.

Lü Wenbang silently closed his eyes, and seeing him like this, Lü Peiwen hurriedly said, "Dad, then... what about this battle with Lü Donglin? Although Lü Donglin’s strength is not as great as yours, he has the support of the Beigong War God behind him, this... this is an impossible fight..."

Lü Wenbang remained silently for a while before saying, "Lü Donglin is doomed tonight!"

"Ah?" Lü Peiwen was startled, hastily saying, "Dad, are you going to kill Lü Donglin? You know about the Beigong War God. If you kill Lü Donglin, he will certainly dismantle the Capital City..."

"It might not be me who kills him!" Lü Wenbang spoke softly, "Lü Donglin has many enemies; someone has already hired assassins, preparing to kill him. I just need to exhaust his strength, and leave the rest to the assassin."

Lü Peiwen’s eyes immediately brightened; with a real assassin involved, then they wouldn’t need to bear any responsibility!
