At this moment, Lu Zheng finally looked up and asked Lu Tianqi, "Are you sure... this person can be trifled with so casually?"

Based on Lu Tianqi's previous achievements, Lu Zheng was willing to trust his daughter. This was because Lu Tianqi had been quietly assisting the Lu Family over the years. Her initial decisions had faced many doubts from the family members. However, as time passed and her careful plans came into fruition, these voices of doubt gradually faded away. Now, it had been a long time since anyone dared to question Young Master Lu's decisions.

Lu Tianqi has never made a mistake up to this point!

Even Lu Zheng, the head of the Lu Family, couldn't help but develop a strong dependency on his daughter's powerful qi movement.

"He is not an important figure. When I went to invite him this afternoon, I purposely displayed an impatient and arrogant attitude, pretending not to care about him too much," Lu Tianqi sneered, "If he truly had a distinguished background, then, in response to my blatant rudeness at the time, he should have only two types of reactions."

"Oh?" Lu Zheng looked at his daughter with interest, and inwardly regretted more than once, if only his daughter were a real son... that would have been so much better!

That way, he could hand over the entire Lu Family to her without any reservations. Unlike now, even though Lu Tianqi is quite outstanding, he still does not dare to express this idea. Otherwise, those family members who cause frequent trouble but are not capable of much would definitely kick up a fuss again.

No matter how male-like she appears... she is still ultimately a girl!

Lu Tianqi gave a faint smile. It must be said, this tomboy, in the moment she smiles, really is quite charming: "The first reaction was to be extremely angry! Though people of high birth are usually able to perfectly control their emotions, they know when and where it is appropriate to lose their temper. Faced with a bewildering invite from an arrogant nobody from Jinxiu City, for a person of high birth, getting angry... would be the most common reaction."

As Lu Tianqi stated this, she sneered, "I was prepared to apologize to him at that moment, but he, did not lose his temper towards me. Even though he looked quite unhappy, his habitual restraint was fully displayed."

"Haha, and the second possibility?" Often, Lu Zheng found himself admiring his daughter. Her mind was as keen as a razor, and her wisdom was exceptional. She always managed to pinpoint the crucial point of a matter, which was usually overlooked by others.

"The second possibility would naturally be apparent calmness, while internally filled with contempt," Lu Tianqi replied with a smile, "I indeed was very rude at the time, even showing him a feigned killing intent. If he truly were of high birth, then in a situation where his power is clearly inferior and he is on my turf, he certainly would pretend not to notice my impoliteness, then politely tell me with a hint of contrition that he already had an engagement, and ask if it were possible to reschedule. But he, didn't say a word. At first glance, it seems like he's full of confidence, completely disdainful towards me. Furthermore, from the fact he stood me up tonight, one might get the wrong impression."

"That's not the case?" Lu Zheng was entirely convinced by his daughter's deduction, he simply admired her confident demeanor.

Lu Tianqi sneered coldly, "Of course that's not the case! I believe, that right now... he should feel genuine fear! Because he doesn't know who I am, but the Jin Family... will certainly give him a thorough education!"

"What do you think the Jin Family will do?" Lu Zheng asked.

"In this situation... it's more than likely that the Jin Family will send someone with the rank of elder tomorrow to apologize to us on his behalf, at the same time explaining the situation. If the Jin Family truly values Chu Mo as they claim to, they will definitely do this. However, that fox from the Jin Family is extremely intelligent if he come to his senses in time, he might choose to observe how things play out," Lu Tianqi assuredly stated.

Clap, clap, clap!

Lu Zheng couldn't refrain from clapping. He smiled with satisfaction, "Having you, Tianqi, is the Lu Family's greatest fortune!"

"I owe my success to Father's wisdom and instruction," Lu Tianqi responded with an attractive smile.

"And tonight?" Lu Zheng turned to his daughter.

"This audacious swindler must be taught a lesson. Let's just cripple one of his hands," Lu Tianqi said indifferently, "I'm doing this out of respect for the Jin Family. I believe Jin Dongnan will understand my leniency."

"Alright, ask the men to be careful with their strength. Don't accidentally kill him," Lu Zheng nodded.

In the eyes of the father and daughter, the fate of a living being seemed as insignificant as a bug. The only difference lay in whether they "killed" it or "spared" it.

Meanwhile...

Western part of the city, Jin Family's residence.

The family head, Jin Dongnan, sat at the head of the table. Chu Mo sat on Jin Dongnan's left, while Jin Ming, the eighth son of the Jin Family, sat on his father's right.

There were only these three people at the table, the food was abundant, and the room was very quiet.

"Young Master Chu, you said that someone claiming to be Lu Tianqi came to you today at noon and invited you to a banquet at the Lu family's residence this evening?" Jin Ming asked Chu Mo incredulously.

Jin Dongnan's eyes twinkled, hinting at his deep thoughts.

"Yes, a tomboy, should be... the daughter of Lu Family, the leader of the Three Great Families in Jinxiu City, right?" Chu Mo glanced at Jin Dongnan, and said with a slight smile, "An impolite tomboy."

Jin Ming's mouth twitched as he looked at Chu Mo in a strange manner, "Perhaps Young Master Chu is still unaware of Lu Tianqi's formidability."

"Oh?" Chu Mo faintly replied, his gaze on Jin Ming.

Jin Ming continued, "I am somewhat reluctant to admit it, but I must say, there is not a single youth in the entire Jinxiu City who isn't afraid of her! Even among the older generation, most would avoid her when seeing her. Also, there is one cardinal rule, you must not regard her as a girl."

"Is she formidable?" Chu Mo glanced at Jin Ming before picking up his chopsticks, bringing a piece of food to his mouth in a seemingly nonchalant manner.

Having been closely observing Chu Mo's countenance, Jin Dongnan noted a flash of shrewdness in Chu Mo's eyes. He thought to himself: that unruly tomboy from the Lu Family… has probably bitten off more than she can chew this time, she might just be in for a big surprise! It seems necessary to send someone to warn her tomorrow, otherwise she may think it's an idea from my Jin Family.

Jin Ming looked at Chu Mo earnestly and said, "Formidable! Extremely formidable! She is only twenty this year, but her prowess has already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. A lot of people even predict that she will reach the Golden Core stage before thirty. So, do you find her formidable now?"

Chu Mo faintly smiled, refraining from commenting and instead picked up another piece of food, "This dish must be a local specialty? Tastes quite good."
