After a moment of silence, the voice of the Lu Family Patriarch suddenly rose: "No background?"
Lu Zijin thought for a moment: "To be precise, it's not that he has no background at all. It's more accurate to say he lacks family or organizational backing. He's the student chosen by Mr. Huai, the last bloodline of the Gu Family, and this year's strongest rookie in the Peak City District."
She said languidly, "Initially, I wanted to bring him into the Lu Family, but Zicheng insisted on keeping him in the association, so I went along with it. After all, the only problematic thing about him is his identity as a descendant of the Fallen."
Deep breathing came through the phone line.
"That last half of your sentence—I'll pretend you didn't say it."
The Lu Family Patriarch ordered coldly, "Zijin, you're not an idiot. You know what you need to do, right?"
