Chapter 80: Prince Lu, When Will You Marry Your Princess?
The buildings in the town, just like the houses of each household, were preserved in a simple and ancient style.
Ye Chuxiao, Zhao Congrui, and Lin Houchun followed Lu Ziyi, looking around and observing everything.
They felt very joyful, as if they were walking through a film studio, but the pavilions and houses built here were more exquisite and much more real than those in a film studio.
Along the way, they saw many neatly dressed teams jogging in the morning. From courtyards near and far, the sounds of martial arts practice could be heard.
It truly is a martial arts town, with an aura of everyone practicing martial arts.
Whether adults or children, when they saw Lu Ziyi, they would greet him, “Ziyi,” “Ziyi’s back!”
Lu Ziyi politely returned their greetings.
Zhao Congrui said gleefully, “Ziyi, I didn’t expect you to be so famous in town! Everyone seems to… respect you!”
Ye Chuxiao also noticed. It was normal for neighbors to greet each other, but even adults looked at Lu Ziyi with a sense of deference.
Lu Ziyi said calmly, “Actually, I’m just a fox borrowing a tiger’s might. Everyone respects my father.”
“Because your father is a Feng Shui Master?” Lin Houchun pressed. The identity of a Feng Shui Master was full of mystery and unpredictability, and Lin Houchun felt an inexplicable admiration for Lu Ziyi’s father.
Lu Ziyi explained, “It’s because my father is the Clan Leader of the Lu Family. The Lu surname is a major one here, so its influence is quite broad and significant. The Clan Leader’s prestige is even greater than the Town Mayor’s.”
Seeing the preserved appearance of the town, it wasn’t strange at all that it still followed the clan leader system.
However, Zhao Congrui asked, “Ziyi, isn’t Uncle Lu working in Y City? Is he still serving as Clan Leader here?”
“The Clan Leader guides the general direction of the family’s development,” Lu Ziyi said slowly. “Besides, with today’s advanced technology, major family events can be discussed via conference calls.”
Zhao Congrui became even more curious, “Ziyi, is the position of Clan Leader hereditary? Will your father pass the position of Clan Leader to you in the future?”
“It’s not hereditary,” Lu Ziyi said. “Everyone elects the most capable person to serve.”
However, Lu Ziyi was also one of the important candidates for the next Clan Leader, though he didn’t tell his friends. Lu Ziyi would naturally do his best to contribute to the family’s affairs, but that was a matter for the future.
Lin Houchun chuckled, “I think Ziyi has the aura of a Prince!”
Zhao Congrui laughed heartily, and Ye Chuxiao also smiled with pursed lips. This place was too much like a transposed kingdom, and Lu Ziyi’s demeanor was extraordinary, handsome and tall, truly like a Prince!
Zhao Congrui lowered his voice, but not his volume, and raised an eyebrow, “Prince Lu, when will you marry your Princess?”
“Pfft!” Lu Ziyi’s peripheral vision glanced at the smiling girl beside him, and his heart softened. “Don’t joke, what Prince?”
Zhao Congrui hooked his right arm around Lu Ziyi’s neck, “Don’t change the subject, you know my focus is on marrying a Princess!”
Zhao Congrui and Lin Houchun had come to inquire about the hidden circumstances between Lu Ziyi and Ye Chuxiao. Lin Houchun chimed in, “Ziyi, has the Lu Family prepared any childhood engagements, child brides, or childhood sweethearts for you to choose from?”
“What a joke!” Lu Ziyi denied. Xiaoxiao was right beside him; what if she misunderstood? He had only ever had feelings for Xiaoxiao!
