LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 229: Luo Changfeng's Opinion? The Matter is Settled!_2
Luo Changfeng heard this.
He couldn't help but silently set down the teacup in his hand.
He looked in the direction of White Brahma Temple.
In fact, even if Luo Ping didn't mention it, Luo Changfeng already knew.
What puzzled him was,
what was the White Brahma Temple trying to do by making such a change at this moment?
Were they planning to accelerate their own pace of attack, Enjoy new stories from My Virtual Library Empire
and then completely seize the Great Flame Dynasty's influence within the Da Feng Dynasty's territory?
Did they feel that the pace of their attack was too slow?
And so, they wanted to speed it up?
No matter what the intentions of the White Brahma Temple within White Lotus Prefecture were,
since the Great Flame Dynasty was currently paying attention,
it was best for the Qingshi City Luo Family to quietly focus on their own development.
When the time came that the Great Flame Dynasty could no longer hold on and collapsed, or retreated from the Da Feng Dynasty's territory,
next, it would be the showdown between the Qingshi City Luo Family and the White Brahma Temple.
By then, his Luo Family would find itself in the same situation as the current Great Flame Dynasty, facing enemies on both fronts.
Not only would they have to deal with the attack from the White Brahma Temple within the White Lotus Prefecture,
but the Luo Family would also be under pressure from the two powers of the Royal Feng Family.
If that time truly came, the Luo Family would have to bear the greatest pressure.
For now, it was enough to simply observe from the sidelines.
"As for the White Brahma Temple inside the White Lotus Prefecture, we can ignore them for the time being. Whatever the White Brahma Temple is up to, it has nothing to do with our Qingshi City Luo Family."
"Next, we just need to quietly develop our own strength."
"And when the time comes that the Great Flame Dynasty can no longer hold on and collapses, that will be when our Qingshi City Luo Family makes its move."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ping couldn't help but excitedly say, "Patriarch Changfeng, does this mean that after the Great Flame Dynasty completely collapses, it will be our Qingshi City Luo Family's opportunity to counterattack?"
Luo Changfeng shook his head and then retorted, "No, what I mean is that by then, it will be time for our Luo Family to contend with the White Brahma Temple. As for when to counterattack, we'll talk about that later. You must realize that, apart from the White Brahma Temple, we have the quiet scrutiny of two other Royal Feng Family powers behind us."
"If it were normal times, those two forces from the Royal Feng Family would naturally not make any rash moves."
"But if, due to our carelessness, a lapse in our defense occurs,"
"those two powers certainly won't just watch with their eyes open and wait for us to slowly adjust..."
At this point,
Luo Ping could only nod silently,
with a serious and somewhat helpless expression.
However, the words spoken by Patriarch Changfeng were indeed very sensible.
If the Great Flame Dynasty collapsed completely,
then the overall strength of the White Brahma Temple would inevitably inflate to a terrifying level in a short time.
And that wasn't the most frightening aspect.
The most terrifying thing was that, following the collapse of the Great Flame Dynasty,
his Qingshi City Luo Family would then face being caught between two fronts.
In front, there would be the increasingly powerful White Brahma Temple,
behind, the dual threats from the Royal Feng Family's powers looming.
Under such a scenario of being caught between two fronts,
the Qingshi City Luo Family, even if they wanted to do something,
would often feel somewhat restrained.
Therefore, while the Great Flame Dynasty still stood in front and hadn't yet completely collapsed,
focusing on developing their own comprehensive strength was the best course of action.
...
After chatting with his ancestor, Patriarch Changfeng, for a while longer,
Luo Ping, as the current Family Head of the Luo Family, turned and silently left the mysterious courtyard.
Following Luo Ping's departure,
only Patriarch Changfeng, the Ancestor of the Luo Family, remained openly in the courtyard.
"To concentrate on grooming that youngster Luo Yao as the next Family Head of the Luo Family..."
In the courtyard,
under the Stone Pavilion,
Luo Changfeng thought to himself as he muttered under his breath.
After a short while,
he couldn't help but laugh.
Primarily, this matter is simply too comical, too laughable.
Luo Yao, this lad, is characteristically lazy and indolent.
According to Luo Changfeng's own description, this kid is nothing but a mere figurehead.
Basically, the kind who would definitely not stand if able to sit.
Would definitely not sit if able to lie down.
Would inevitably shun tasks he could avoid.
Even for those tasks that must be done, he would multitask and slack off.
Even putting off all matters until the last possible moment.
Finishing the tasks assigned ahead of time is certainly an impossibility.
Yet now, such a pure figurehead
has unexpectedly become the next key disciple of the Luo Family to be groomed for leadership.
This matter is somewhat comedic indeed.
However, if one gives it some careful thought,
it seems to also make sense, after all.
After all, the outstanding young members of the Luo Family
have mostly left the clan by now.
Whether it's Luo Chuan or Luo Qingshan, who isn't better than that pure figurehead Luo Yao?
Resulting from a series of mishaps and coincidences,
Luo Yao the figurehead has unexpectedly become the foremost among the Luo Family's younger generation.
Perhaps, this is what's called destiny and timing?
"Let's just wait and see for now..."
"Maybe, after the lad is cultivated as a key figure, his personality might change a bit?"
"No longer as lazy as before?"
As Luo Changfeng thought this, he quietly picked up the cup of tea from the stone table.
He brought it to his lips and took a small sip.
The cool tea slid down his throat,
bringing with it a refreshing chill that spread through his mind.
...
Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
Inside the room of the Luo Family Patriarch.
At this moment, Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, was dressed in light garments,
sitting quietly at the main seat, dealing with various governmental affairs.
He held a cup of ice-cold tea and brought it to his lips, sipping from time to time.
Although Luo Ping had become the Luo Family's current Patriarch,
the privileges he had access to were certainly the highest tier within the family.
Yet even so,
the tea he drank couldn't hold a candle to the quality of the tea in the hands of Patriarch Changfeng.
Even though the tea he was drinking was already considered very precious and expensive.
"Patriarch, how did it go?"
Suddenly, a voice rang out by his ear.
Luo Ping silently lifted his head, and then he saw a figure standing before him.
The owner of the figure was the characteristically lazy and indolent Luo Yao.
Previously, as the current Family Head Luo Ping, hadn't he visited Elder Changfeng in his courtyard?
The purpose was to discuss this very issue with Elder Changfeng, wasn't it?
While Luo Ping was the Luo Family's current head, matters such as who to groom as the next Family Head, naturally, still required informing Elder Changfeng.
If Elder Changfeng agreed, then the decision would be finalized.
If Elder Changfeng disagreed,
even if Luo Ping was willing, the matter naturally could not proceed.
"What do you mean how did it go?"
Luo Ping looked at Luo Yao standing before him, thought for a moment and then said, "Are you asking about my visit to Patriarch Changfeng?"
Luo Yao nodded repeatedly.
In his mind,
someone like Patriarch Changfeng, with his sagacity and martial prowess, surely wouldn't agree to him being chosen as the next key disciple to be groomed for the Luo Family leadership.
And if Patriarch Changfeng disagreed, the matter couldn't go forward.
For someone as extremely lazy as him,
he would naturally be set free.
