"Mistaken, gravely mistaken."
Mr. Lu shook his head, let out a long breath, and said in a deep voice, "This gate itself is not important; what matters are the people this gate protects. The Lu family has borne the duty of the Gatekeeper for generations. If, when the time comes, I choose betrayal, what face would I have to meet my ancestors after my death?"
"Stubborn and unwilling to see reason. Let's see how long your overly hopeful grandson can hold out. Don't worry, our struggle is just beginning."
As the man's words fell, he suddenly flashed in front of Mr. Lu, with an eerie red light gleaming in his hand, aiming directly at Mr. Lu's heart!
"The same trick from three hundred years ago and you're still using it? You've truly made no progress at all."
Mr. Lu formed a hand into a blade, casually launching a palm strike, causing a burst of clear light that collided with the eerie red, neutralizing each other!
"What's the hurry? This is just a test."
