My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 351 - 348 Cimu family

The 11th district recently had two major events.

One was the conquering of the "Divine Blade Tower", which had remained unconquered for a century.

The other was the Princess of the Cimu family was to marry a commoner.

The protagonist of both incidents was the same man, who called himself Zhengdaguangming.

This caused the whole 11th district to become curious about this person known as Zhengdaguangming.

They wondered what kind of person he was to conquer the "Divine Blade Tower" that for over a hundred years, countless families and countless talented individuals had spent their lives trying, yet failed to conquer.

They were also curious to see his demeanor, as he had somehow made the Princess of the Cimu family prefer to kill a talent who could make it to the 10th floor rather than marry anyone else.

However, their curiosity was not satisfied.

Since the man entered the Cimu family, he had not made any public appearances.

Despite his lack of public appearances, the legends of him spread widely throughout the 11th district.

It was said that Zhengdaguangming, having conquered the "Divine Blade Tower", kicked away the Sakuragi Family that had supported him and abandoned the daughter of the Sakuragi Family to be with the Princess of the Cimu family.

Even more incredibly, since he was with Princess Cimu.

The Princess, who was known throughout the 11th district for her spoiled and brutal demeanor, seemed to have transformed into a completely different person, becoming gentle and polite like a true Yamato Nadeshiko.

She was courteous and friendly to everyone.

Of course, as long as nobody spoke ill of Zhengdaguangming or attempted anything against him.

If you did, sorry, she would be even more brutal than before!

It was said that on the day Lu Wu was brought back to the Cimu family by Princess Cimu,

the head butler of the Cimu family wanted to capture and interrogate Lu Wu under the pretext he was a spy from the "Zero" organization.

Eventually, Princess Cimu went into a rage and summoned the ancestors of the Cimu family to ensure justice for Lu Wu.

After clearing the crisis around Lu Wu, Princess Cimu started to take revenge on the butler.

When she said she would kill his entire family, she did exactly that.

She even spared no mercy for the crying infants.

Not just that one butler—everyone involved that day was spared no mercy by her, all killed by her ruthless methods, her actions even more terrifying than before.

However, in front of Zhengdaguangming, she would retract all her sharpness and acted as docile as a cat.

The immense contrast made almost everyone realize.

This time, Princess Cimu had truly fallen in love.

Even Qingzi’s uncles and brothers thought so too, but Lu Wu was the exception.

Through the days they spent together, Lu Wu figured out what kind of person Qingzi was.

She was cunning and ambitious.

In love with Lu Wu? That was just a laughable notion.

For her, Lu Wu was merely a convenient tool.

Her brutal actions against the people who surrounded him that day were simply because the butler was not her person, and she took the chance to eliminate a rival.

Yet, despite all this, Lu Wu was quite satisfied with Qingzi.

At least her acting skills were excellent, and she was deeply immersed in her role; even in private, Qingzi’s persona never faltered.

She also didn’t hesitate to secure resources for him.

On Lu Wu’s first day in the Cimu family, Princess Cimu brought all the Swordsmanship Secret Manuals of the Cimu family for him.

Knowing that Lu Wu’s Summoned Beast had died causing backlash, she also prepared Spirit Fruits and Potions for him to recover his spirit and heal his injuries, all of which were of Legendary Quality.

It must be said, this easy life that Lu Wu was living was really very pleasant.

While Lu Wu enjoyed his comfortable life, others found it quite unbearable.

...

In the Cimu family, within a certain courtyard.

A middle-aged man sat cross-legged in a quiet room, his face showing neither happiness nor sorrow.

This man was Izumikawa Yan, the current Family Head of the Cimu family and the uncle of Cimu Qingzi.

The genius youth he had arranged intercept both Lu Wu and Cimu Qingzi upon their return had also been his doing.

He did this for a simple reason, to remove Cimu Qingzi from the line of succession.

Although Izumikawa Yan was currently the Family Head of the Cimu family,

in fact, his position was only temporary.

It was because of the unexpected demise of Cimu Qingzi’s father that he had been made a substitute.

He had held this position for ten years, yet he had not yet been able to officially take over.

Everyone knew that in the eyes of the old ancestor, Izumikawa Yan was just a transitional figure.

As for the position of Family Head, the old ancestor would rather break the tradition and let a woman, Cimu Qingzi, take over rather than let him.

He naturally was not reconciled.

However, his actions against Cimu Qingzi were not truly aimed at killing her.

In Izumikawa Yan’s view, this willful and cruel niece could not pose any threat to him.

He targeted Cimu Qingzi merely to show to that old ancestor or rather the undying one.

He was well aware that the one the undying old man truly favored was not Cimu Qingzi.

By progressively promoting Cimu Qingzi to the rightful heir and even making her Princess Cimu, he merely wanted to make Izumikawa Yan believe he favored Cimu Qingzi.

In fact, Cimu Qingzi was merely a human shield.

The person the old man truly cared about was Cimu Qingzi’s brother, the future heir of the Cimu family whom the old man had personally groomed.

Izumikawa Yan did not act against him because he could not, and he knew that this boy was the apple of the old man’s eye.

As long as he did not touch the boy, he could do whatever he wanted; if he touched the boy, the old man would kill him without hesitation.

So, he pretended to be unaware, bullying Cimu Qingzi to lower the old man’s guard while secretly building up his strength waiting for a chance to completely free himself from the old man.

As for Cimu Qingzi, he had not really taken her seriously before.

However, he had to take Cimu Qingzi seriously now.

Because of Lu Wu!

This was the only man who had cleared the Divine Blade Tower in over a hundred years.

Regardless of his talent, the gains he made in the Divine Blade Tower alone certainly provided him with the potential to become a top-level fighter.

The intelligence in his hands clearly told him.

The moment Lu Wu emerged from the Divine Blade Tower, all the Divine Artifacts within a hundred miles knelt before his sword.

With such a level of Divine Artifact in hand, the future of this man named Zhengdaguangming was boundless.

If this man grew before he had accumulated enough strength, he would pose an unimaginable threat to him.

This was also why he had wanted to make the first move even before Lu Wu entered the door.

Since he was a threat, he must be dealt with early!

However, he had underestimated how much Cimu Qingzi valued Lu Wu, thinking that this willful stupid woman was merely infatuated due to a hunting thrill and could easily be manipulated to take Lu Wu away and dispose of him.

Unexpectantly, this foolish woman had been so mesmerized by Lu Wu that she risked calling out the old man and even threatened her own life for his sake.

This led to the failure of his first attempt.

Now, with Lu Wu having caught the old man’s attention, killing him had become a bit more difficult.

But it was only a bit more difficult.

"He will eventually grow up, and he can’t stay in the Cimu family forever. There will still be an opportunity to kill him!"
