Chapter 770 Armory
Father Lei was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then nodded. He stood up and walked to Luo Dan, making a gesture of invitation: "My friend, please follow me. Although the Lei family's arsenal is not as precious as dragon blood, it is also a place where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden. I believe my friend will be amazed."
As he said, the two walked out of the main hall together and walked towards the arsenal. Lei Chong followed closely behind him, his heart full of expectation and curiosity. He wanted to know how Luo Dan would view the weapons of the Lei family, and whether he would change his mind because of these weapons?
Along the way, the three of them were silent and just walked silently. The candlelight swayed in the night wind, as if it was also foreshadowing the upcoming unknowns and variables. Finally, they came to the arsenal, and Father Lei pushed open the door, and an old and solemn atmosphere came to his face. Luo Dan took a deep breath, and a hint of excitement and expectation flashed in his eyes. He knew that a new contest was about to begin.
Father Lei hesitated for a moment, and soon took up the topic. A hint of firmness flashed in his eyes, as if he had made some kind of decision. "Okay." He responded simply and forcefully, then turned around and motioned Luo Dan and Lei Chong to follow him.
Under the leadership of Lei's father, they passed through the winding corridors, bypassed several quaint buildings, and finally came to the place where the Lei family trained. This is a spacious venue surrounded by tall trees, with a piece of grinding stone and various training equipment in the center. At this time, there were already quite a few people in the venue, almost all of them were Lei's family members. They were either sweating profusely to forge weapons, or concentrating on practicing martial arts. The whole scene was full of vitality and vigor.
Seeing Lei's father and Lei Chong come in, everyone stopped their work and greeted them. Their eyes fell on Lei Chong in particular, as if they saw a life-saving straw, with a gleam of expectation and hope in their eyes.
"Chong'er, you're back. Did you get the dragon blood?" An older Lei family member came forward and asked anxiously. There was a tremor in his voice, and he was obviously very concerned about the dragon blood.
Lei Chong shook his head, his expression a little gloomy. He knew that everyone's hopes were pinned on him, but he failed to bring back the dragon blood, and he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
Seeing this, everyone was disappointed and couldn't hide their worries. Some sighed in a low voice, while others frowned, as if they saw the bleak future of the Lei family.
"How can that be? Without dragon blood, the weapons can never be repaired. For our entire Lei family, it is a fatal blow." A young Lei family member couldn't help but say, with a bit of anxiety and helplessness in his voice.
Hearing this, everyone was dejected for a while, as if all their strength had been taken away. They knew what dragon blood meant to the Lei family. Without dragon blood, the weapons of the Lei family would not be able to be repaired, and their strength would be greatly reduced.
At this moment, someone found something wrong. A sharp-eyed Lei family member suddenly pointed at Luo Dan and asked, "Who is this...?" There was a bit of confusion and curiosity in his tone, and he was obviously surprised by Luo Dan's appearance.
Upon hearing this, Father Lei immediately introduced: "This is Young Master Luo Dan, he may be able to help us solve the problem of dragon blood." As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Luo Dan, with expectation and inquiry in their eyes.
Luo Dan smiled and nodded, as a greeting to everyone. He knew that he had a great responsibility at the moment, and he also felt the expectations and trust of the Lei family in him. He secretly made up his mind to do his best to help the Lei family solve the problem of dragon blood.
At this time, a member of the Lei family came forward and said respectfully to Luo Dan: "Young Master Luo, if you can really help us solve the problem of dragon blood, then our Lei family will always be grateful for your kindness." As soon as he finished speaking, others also echoed him, and the whole venue was filled with an atmosphere of gratitude and expectation.
"Huh? Who is that person? This is the important place of the Lei family. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Patriarch, you clearly know the rules of the family. How can you bring an outsider into this weapon refining pavilion casually?" A Lei family member wearing gray clothes and with a stern face suddenly spoke up. His eyes were full of doubts and dissatisfaction. He stared at Luo Dan closely, as if he wanted to see through him.
This person's voice was loud and clear, and he woke everyone up with one word. Everyone turned their heads and noticed Luo Dan following behind the Lei family patriarch. They frowned or whispered, obviously surprised and puzzled by Luo Dan's appearance.
"Humph, this weapon refining pavilion is the core of our Lei family. It hides countless secrets and treasures. How can we easily let outsiders get involved?" Another person also echoed, with a bit of indignation in his tone, as if the Lei family patriarch's actions violated the fundamental interests of the Lei family.
Hearing this, the Lei family patriarch frowned slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He cast a majestic look at the man, which contained unquestionable strength and determination, as if saying: "I do things, it is not your turn to point fingers."
The man felt the look of the head of the Lei family, and instantly quieted down and stopped talking. He lowered his head. Although he was still dissatisfied in his heart, he did not dare to show it.
Seeing this, the head of the Lei family nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at everyone, and said in a steady and powerful voice: "I brought this person in, and naturally I have my reasons. If anyone is dissatisfied, then get out. I don't believe that the decision made by me, the head of the family, should allow others to comment?"
The pressure on his body spread out directly, and it was like a volcano that was about to erupt, making people dare not look directly at it. Everyone felt this pressure and lowered their heads one after another, not daring to say more. They knew that once the head of the Lei family got angry, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Seeing this, Lord Dan's eyes flashed slightly, and he secretly admired the majesty and decisiveness of the head of the Lei family. He understood that the reason why the head of the Lei family did this was to maintain the order and dignity of the Lei family, and to protect him, an outsider, from unnecessary trouble.
"Head of the family, we did not intend to offend it, but this weapon refining pavilion is related to the future and destiny of the Lei family, and we have to be cautious." An elderly Lei family member spoke, with a bit of respect and earnestness in his tone, obviously it was I'm pleading for everyone.
The head of the Lei family looked a little slow when he heard this. He glanced at the older Lei family and nodded and said, "I understand everyone's concerns, but this young master Luo is not an ordinary person. He may be able to help our Lei family. Solve the current dilemma. So, I hope everyone can trust me and Mr. Luo.”
When everyone heard this, they nodded to express their understanding. They knew that since the head of the Lei family did this, there must be his reason. So, they stopped talking, but just stood quietly aside, waiting for the next move of the head of the Lei family and Luodan.
Lordae felt everyone's gaze and nodded with a smile, saying hello to everyone. He knew in his heart that he had a heavy responsibility at this moment and felt the expectation and trust of the Lei family for him. He secretly made up his mind to do his best to help the Lei family solve the current predicament.
Lei Chong walked to Luodan and patted his shoulder gently, with a little comfort and apology in his tone: "Young Master Luo, don't mind, the one I just talked about is my third brother, Lei Jun. He has always been like this, he speaks more straightforwardly and aggressively. Sometimes even the elder brother, I, can't stand him. Don't take it seriously and don't bother with him."
Upon hearing this, Lord Dan turned his head to look at the Third Young Master Lei who had just spoken against him. After Lei Jun was scolded by the head of the Lei family, he seemed to be angry and glared at Luo Dan viciously, as if fire was about to spit out from his eyes. His hands were clenched into fists, and his joints turned white due to the force, which was obviously extremely dissatisfied with the appearance of Lordae.
But no matter how hard Lei's father was, Lei Jun could only swallow his anger in the end. He gritted his teeth, suppressed the anger in his heart, and was unwilling to look at Lordae again. He snorted coldly and turned his head, as if he would make him extremely uncomfortable when he looked at Lord Dan.
Seeing this, Lordae touched his nose and smiled helplessly. He knew in his heart that he had offended the third young master of the Lei family as soon as he came, and his life would probably not be very easy in the future. However, he didn't come for this young master Lei San. What's his attitude? It has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't care much about it.
Lordae quickly withdrew his gaze, his expression faintly, as if nothing had happened just now. He thought in his heart that he came to the Lei family this time to help the Lei family solve the problem of dragon blood, rather than fighting against Lei San Shao. Therefore, there is no need for him to affect his mood and plan because of Lei San Shao’s attitude.
—————
But Young Master Lei San was not very satisfied with this. Seeing that Lordae turned a blind eye to him, a nameless fire suddenly surged in his heart. He clenched his fists and his nails were deeply pinching into his palms, but he felt no pain. Anger and unwillingness flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to swallow Lordae alive.
"Damn it, what does this foreigner mean? When he came to the territory of the Lei family, he turned a blind eye to me, the third young master. Who did he think he was? He was just a wild boy who came out of nowhere. Humph, My Lei Jun is also a well-known figure in the Lei family. How could he be so despised?”
Young Master Lei San secretly swore in his heart that he must make Lord Dan look good. He didn't know why he was so hostile to Lordae. Maybe it was because Lordae's appearance broke his originally peaceful life, or maybe it was because he felt that Lordae was not worthy of entering the Lei family's important place. In short, he had regarded Lordae as his enemy and was determined to give him some color.
Lei Chong walked to Luodan and patted his shoulder gently, with a little comfort and apology in his tone: "Young Master Luo, don't mind, the one I just talked about is my third brother, Lei Jun. He has always been like this, he speaks more straightforwardly and aggressively. Sometimes even the elder brother, I, can't stand him. Don't take it seriously and don't bother with him. He is just like that, and he's blocked even when his temper comes. I can't hold on, but my heart is not bad."
Upon hearing this, Lord Dan turned his head to look at the Third Young Master Lei who had just spoken against him. After Lei Jun was scolded by the head of the Lei family, his face turned pale and seemed to be angry. He stared at Luo Dan viciously, as if fire was about to spit out from his eyes. His hands were clenched into fists, his joints turned white due to the force, and the blue veins on his fists burst out, obviously he was extremely dissatisfied with the appearance of Lordae.
Seeing this, Lei's father frowned slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but then he stretched out again. He knew his third son's temper and could only shake his head helplessly. Lei Jun felt Lei's father's gaze, gritted his teeth, suppressed the anger in his heart, and was unwilling to look at Luo Dan again. He snorted coldly and turned his head, as if he would make him extremely uncomfortable when he looked at Lord Dan for a moment. His back seemed both stubborn and lonely.
————————————
Luo Dan touched his nose and smiled helplessly. He knew that he had offended the third young master of the Lei family as soon as he came, and his future life would probably not be easy. However, he did not come for this Third Young Master Lei. What was the attitude of Third Young Master Lei? It had nothing to do with him, and he did not take it seriously. He came here for the dragon blood problem of the Lei family, for the promise and responsibility.
Luo Dan quickly retracted his gaze, his expression was indifferent, as if nothing had happened just now. He thought to himself that he came to the Lei family this time to help the Lei family solve the current predicament, not to fight with Third Young Master Lei. Therefore, he did not need to let Third Young Master Lei's attitude affect his mood and plan. He took a deep breath, put all the distractions behind his mind, and prepared to start his business.
But Third Young Master Lei was not very satisfied with this. He saw that Luo Dan actually ignored him, and a nameless fire suddenly surged in his heart. He clenched his fists, digging his nails deep into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain, as if the pain was covered by the anger in his heart. His eyes flashed with anger and unwillingness, as if he wanted to eat Luo Dan alive.
"Damn it, what does this outsider mean? He came to the Lei family's territory and turned a blind eye to me, the Third Young Master Lei. Who does he think he is? He's just a wild boy who came out of nowhere. Humph, I, Lei Jun, am also a well-known figure in the Lei family. How can I let him look down on me like this? Does he think he can walk sideways in our Lei family just because he has some ability? I must let him know that the Lei family is not a place where he can run wild!"
Third Young Master Lei secretly swore in his heart that he must teach Luo Dan a lesson. He didn't know why he was so hostile to Luo Dan. Maybe it was because Luo Dan's appearance broke his originally peaceful life and made him feel threatened; maybe it was because he felt that Luo Dan was not worthy of stepping into the important place of the Lei family, let alone being valued by the Lei family. In short, he has already regarded Luo Dan as his enemy and is determined to teach him a lesson, to let him know that the Lei family is not a place where he can do whatever he wants.
