"Yes, two Great Patriarchs!"

Lu Feixue asked with confusion, "Nobody told you about this? The Great Patriarch you just met is like a great-grandfather. Even your grandpa needs to call him uncle. There is another Great Patriarch, but he is not at the family. He has left for over a year now. He is in the same generation as your grandpa and he is your grandpa's brother. We all call him uncle."

"Oh, I see!"

Lu Li nodded and asked, "Then where is the Chief Patriarch? I have never seen a Chief Patriarch."

"He is in closed-door cultivation."

Lu Feixue explained, "He has been in closed-door cultivation for years. I think he is trying to reach the Earth Immortal Realm. He has reached the peak of the Human Sovereign Realm a long time ago so I think he must be trying to get to the Earth Immortal Realm through this long-term cultivation."

"Earth Immortal?"

Lu Li was surprised. He remembered Patriarch Four's name was Lu Dixian which essentially meant Earthly Immmortal. His father's name was Lu Renhuang which meant the Human Sovereign. How casual were they in finding a name? Were there anybody using names signifying the Noble Lord Realm, or the Eternal Realm or the Fate Wheel Realm?

Lu Li finally learned the realm above the Human Sovereign Realm. He asked, "Aunt, so the realm higher than the Human Sovereign Realm is the Earth Immortal Realm?"

Lu Feixue answered with a nod, "Yes, Noble Lords are just lords of a certain place. Human Sovereign Realm warriors are supreme lords of humans. Above that is Earth Immortal, and the realm is called the Earth Immortal Realm of course. The two Great Patriarchs are my father are all at this realm. A family can only become an eighth-rank one after there are three warriors of the Earth Immortal Realm. I think it is possible that…my father is in danger so the family is sealed off since there are no three walking warriors of the Earth Immortal Realm."

"So that's how it is!"

Lu Li tumbled to the truth. He had been wondering what kind of warrior a family of the eighth-rank had. Now he knew that there were more above the Human Sovereign Realm. Earth Immortal, the name was so impressive.

Lu Li asked another question after some thoughts, "Aunt, you said that nobody can be trusted. Why is that? Nobody is loyal to my grandpa?"

"People should always be on guard against one another!"

Lu Feixue glanced to the outside. Lu Li waved his hand and let Ming Yu and Yu Huashen to keep a look-out. Lu Feixue continued in a low voice, "If your grandpa was okay, then tons of people would be loyal to your grandpa. But 10 years have passed now and people can change. Lu Li, you might not know this. Families are usually united when faced with outside forces. But there are a lot of internal power struggles. The patriarchs would not consider about things from the perspective of family ties. The priority in their minds is the family's interest."

"The Lu Family is not under the control of our lines but in the hands of your grandpa's big brother. Chief Patriarch, Second Patriarch and Third Patriarch are all his sons. You can feel their attitudes toward you."

'The other patriarchs, including Great Patriarch and Fifth Great Uncle, are all concerned about the interests of the entire family. When something goes down, they will side with the ones in control. The ones in control are representing the Lu Family and the family interests along with that."

"If your grandpa is safe, then everything can go back. Your grandpa is really powerful and he is even more capable in fights than Fifth Great Uncle. However… we don't know how he is now!"

With that said, Lu Feixue became gloomy again. Lu Li sighed. If his grandpa could wake up, he wouldn't have to go to other patriarchs. He could ask his grandpa to save his parents.

Lu Feixue's words were well-reasoned. Lu Fenghuo and Lu Liantian were hostile to him and he understood why.

Lu Family was once in the hands of Lu Li's grandpa. Now that his grandpa could not do it anymore, The big brother of Lu Li's grandpa was the one in control. It was also supported by the fact that Lu Renhuang's three cousins could become the Chief Patriarch, Second Patriarch and Third Patriarch. Lu Fenghuo clearly had a high status in the Hall of Patriarchs. When he said something, the other patriarchs were even afraid to disagree.

Lu Li also had a notion as to why nobody went to the Northern Desert to look for Lu Renhuang.

Why would they? So Lu Renhuang could come back and become the Family Patriarch or to defeat Lu Zhengyang's big brother?

Lu Zhengyang's big brother finally had the chance to hold power. Naturally, he wouldn't want that to go back. Therefore, when Lu Li came back, he was questioned and someone even had the desire to kill him. Till now, Lu Fenghuo and Lu Liantian hadn't accepted that he was Lu Renhuang's son…

"There is nobody I can trust!"

Lu Li was sure of that after some thoughts. People could change. Now it was Lu Zhengyang's big brother that was representing the Lu Family and the family interests. What if the other patriarchs assuming neutral positions and even the Great Patriarch who was friendly to his grandpa had switched sides secretly?

What Patriarch Eight did today had disappointed Lu Li. Great Patriarch seemed to be nice to Lu Li, but he was not entirely trustworthy. Those patriarchs had been living for so many years. Who could tell what they were thinking?

Of course, there must be someone loyal to Lu Li's grandpa. But Lu Li and Lu Feixue did not know nor did they have the courage to look for those. Lu Li didn't believe that the ones called loyal by Patriarch Eight were really so.

If…

There was nobody to trust, what was the point of Lu Li coming back to the Lu Family? After all, he had come back so he could find someone to save Lu Renhuang.

Even Human Sovereign Realm warriors had a hard time getting out from the Ice Abyss. Who would Lu Li turn to if not the powerful warriors of the Lu Family? There must be very few warriors of the Earth Immortal Realm. If by some incredible luck Lu Li met one, then this person wouldn't go and help Lu Li so easily. Even if Lu Li did find someone to help him, he couldn't trust an outsider…

He seemed to be in a dead end!

The situation at the Lu Family was not clear. Lu Li telling the Lu Family about Lu Renhuang might do harm to his parents, but Lu Li had no other way. Should he just stay aside and let his parents suffer under the Ice Abyss?

Lu Li realized that he had to wait.

He had to wait for the emergence of his grandpa and for the return of Lu Ling. She was intelligent. Lu Li sometimes felt he was an idiot in front of Lu Ling.

Patriarch Four had sent Mo Ye and someone from the Palace of Blue Lions to the Cyan Plains. They might be able to get Lu Ling back in a matter of months. He could afford to wait.

He could use these months to consume all the blood essence in his body. He would try to reach the Fate Wheel Realm so he could surprise Lu Ling.

Lu Li put his mind at ease after he made his decision. He looked at Lu Feixue and said, "Aunt, how come you are not at the Noble Lord Realm?"

"I don't have resources…"

Lu Feixue said bitterly, "After I got married, the Qiu Family didn't give me any resources. I felt ashamed to ask from the Lu Family after I was married to the Qiu Family."

"Okay, you make yourself at home here."

Lu Li nodded and said, "I will ask for the resources and help you reach the Noble Lord Realm. Aunt, put your mind at ease. Great Patriarch said that I could turn to Patriarch Four for Mystic Materials. I don't think the family will do anything to me now."

Lu Li had just created a huge scene. The patriarchs must be fearful of him right now. They wouldn't displease him over trivial matters. If Lu Li went nuts again, the Lu Family would be disgraced.

Lu Li got up and walked out.

At the gates of Dragon's Pavilion, he said to some escorts outside, "Go and report. Tell whoever in charge that I want a big compound for me and my aunt, an elegant one. Then get us some qualified maids and cooks. I want the best of everything. The Dragon's Pavilion is for guests. I am a disciple of the Lu Family. Am I just a guest to you?"

The escorts felt surprised. How could this young man be so arrogant? The residence and daily necessities of disciples were pre-arranged. It was the first time they ever saw anyone demanding a change.

Patriarch Eight hadn't calmed down yet. He might be enraged again when he learned this.

Seeing none of the escorts moved, Lu Li raised his eyebrows and said, "What? My words are not useful? Do you want me to go to the Hall of Patriarchs in person?"

"No, no, I will go right now." The escorts were terrified. Lu Li had just made trouble. If he really went, he would turn the entire Hall of Patriarchs upside down.
