C247 The Lau Family Had a Daughter Named Ruyan(2)
After Lau Qingfeng took over as head of the Lau family, Lau Qinghan's family was often sidelined. They spent much of their time away, and Lau Ruyan was even sent off to the Heavenly Martial Academy just to make up the numbers. As a result, Woo Zhengyang hadn't seen her in quite a while.
"It really is you, Cousin Zhengyang! You've changed so much..."
Lau Ruyan hadn't seen Woo Zhengyang in years. During that time, Woo Zhengyang had been practicing body-strengthening techniques, which had transformed his demeanor and appearance. If he hadn't called out her name, Lau Ruyan might not have recognized him as the same Woo Zhengyang who used to get bullied.
"Is something wrong?"
Lau Ruyan wouldn't have come here without a reason, and the worry on her face was evident. Woo Zhengyang asked, sensing something was amiss.
"Moh Lunhui has returned to the Lau family in Bright Sun City!"
Seeing Lau Ruyan's anxious expression, Woo Zhengyang felt a growing sense of unease. Her words confirmed his suspicions.
"When did this happen? Is Uncle okay? How's the Lau family?"
The Lau family didn't hold fond memories for Woo Zhengyang, but it was his mother's family. Since Lau Ruyan was here, it likely involved Lau Qinghan, making Woo Zhengyang instinctively tense.
Right after the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association, Moh Lunhui found out you were from the Lau family in Bright Sun City and went there looking for you. I got the news and rushed back, but it was too late! Moh Lunhui stormed into the Lau family estate. The head of the family and others didn’t know how powerful he was and tried to capture him...” As she spoke, Ruyan’s face was filled with grief, her voice trembling slightly.
“What happened?”
“Great Uncle Lau Nianyu was brutally killed, the head of the family, Lau Qingfeng, was severely injured, my father was badly hurt, and Uncle Lau Qinghai was killed...”
Ruyan, struggling to control her emotions, rattled off a dozen names. These were members of the Lau family spanning three generations, each either gravely injured or killed.
Some of these people Woo Zhengyang knew well, others he had only heard of, and a few he didn’t like. But at this moment, none of that mattered. Their fates were tied to him!
Woo Zhengyang couldn’t understand why Moh Lunhui, whom he had never met, harbored such deep hatred.
Was it just because he was a student of the Heavenly Martial Academy and had killed one of Moh Lunhui’s fellow disciples in the Mystic Trace Realm?
Even if that were the case, it didn’t justify such extreme actions, dragging so many people into it!
Or was Moh Lunhui just trying to make a name for himself?
But even without Woo Zhengyang’s presence, the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association had already brought him fame. Why go to such lengths?
Woo Zhengyang couldn't figure it out, nor did he plan to. After learning about the situation, he decided not to wait any longer. He needed to find Moh Lunhui and settle things once and for all. Whether for Uncle Fu or the Lau family, Moh Lunhui had to pay.
"Are you saying that after the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association, Moh Lunhui first went to the Lau family and then came here to find Uncle Fu?" Woo Zhengyang suddenly thought of something and asked Lau Ruyan.
Hearing Woo Zhengyang's question, Lau Ruyan's face changed, and she asked nervously, "He... he really came... How is Uncle Fu?"
"What's wrong?" Woo Zhengyang sensed something was off in Lau Ruyan's reaction, as if there was more to it.
"Sigh..." Lau Ruyan sighed softly and began to explain to Woo Zhengyang.
That day, Moh Lunhui stormed into the Lau family just as Lau Nianyu, the family head Lau Qingfeng, and others were discussing matters. They had no idea Moh Lunhui had just made a fierce impression at the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association.
When they heard the report, they immediately took action. Moh Lunhui's technique, which even the elite disciples of numerous sects at the association couldn't counter, was beyond their ability to handle. The outcome was predictable.
Lau Nianyu and others met their end, and family head Lau Qingfeng finally realized the situation and inquired further. Upon learning that Moh Lunhui was there for Woo Zhengyang, Lau Qingfeng outright declared that the Lau family had nothing to do with Woo Zhengyang and revealed that Woo Zhengyang had left with Uncle Fu.
After Uncle Fu showcased his prowess as an expert at the Shape Gathering Stage in the arena at Bright Sun City, the entire Lau family was on edge, fearing Woo Zhengyang's retaliation. To prevent Moh Lunhui from making another move, Lau Qingfeng revealed everything.
Lau Ruyan's father, Lau Qinghan, arrived later and wasn't injured initially. He got hurt trying to stop Lau Qingfeng from saying too much, taking a hit from Moh Lunhui's mysterious finger technique.
After finding out where Uncle Fu's small courtyard was, Moh Lunhui left...
Upon hearing all this, Woo Zhengyang was furious. He had assumed that Uncle Fu's location had been leaked by some insiders from the Profound Heaven Sect, but it turned out to be because of Lau Qingfeng.
“How is Uncle’s injury?”
At this question, Lau Ruyan's face darkened, and she choked up, “Moh Lunhui's technique is very strange. When my father tried to defend himself, he was struck at the Yanggu point, injuring the Small Intestine Meridian of the Hand-Taiyang...”
As she spoke, tears welled up in Lau Ruyan's eyes and began to fall.
