The Lu father and son ultimately compromised.
They really had no choice but to compromise!
Firstly, both of them have already revealed their cards. If they fail to reach an agreement, who knows if the Zhou Family would allow them to see the light of day tomorrow?
Secondly, although they knew that the Zhou Family wanted their father and son to marry the Zhou Family's mortal women to establish a clan, effectively seeking to influence and control the Lu Family through such alliances.
But on the other hand, if the descendants of the Lu Family carried half of the Zhou Family's bloodline, it would undoubtedly be easier for them to receive care and support from the Zhou Family in the future.
It's important to note that some small clans, even if they want to become dependents of a large family like the Zhou Family, the Zhou Family might not be willing to accept them!
