Shitou Village is still as fresh and beautiful as before, with the familiar and pure smell filled with the air. When Lu Chong jumped off the carriage at the intersection of the east end, Grandpa stood by the road with a smile. The weathered wrinkles were engraved on his face to make the old man look older. Lu Chong suppressed the depression in his heart and quickly walked to the old man, shouting "Grandpa" softly.

However, the enthusiasm of the villagers interrupted the reunion between Lu Chong and his grandfather, and they all came forward to greet Lu Chong sincerely. When everyone learned that Lu Chong had become a powerful wooden craft master in the Lu family, they were all excitedly exaggerating everywhere. After all, it was a very remarkable event to have a wooden craft master in this remote and small village.

The villagers enthusiastically planned to hold a banquet for such glorious things. Grandpa seemed to be immersed in happiness and did not stop it. Lu Chong had to accompany everyone to have a drink and made a simple small flying object for each family on the spot. This allowed the villagers to see the magical skills and feel extremely proud. It was not until the night was deep that Lu Chong and his grandfather returned to the house south of the village.

Lu Chong made a pot of hot tea with his own hands and sat in the yard with his grandfather. Then his grandfather looked at Lu Chong for a while and sighed: "I feel very relieved to have achieved such a huge achievement."

Lu Chong smiled and said, "It was all my grandfather who created a chance for me, but my grandson was lucky to be able to be humiliated."

Grandpa laughed and said, "Good boy, he is much more interesting than before. He is truly mature. I have received the coins you asked someone to send me, but I can't use them even if I give me so many coins. I am used to the light food now."

Lu Chong quickly said, "I am here to pick up my grandfather to settle down in Huanglong City. I chose to go to Lufang, Songyang City to serve as the manager of the North Courtyard. I am worried that I will not have time to take care of my grandfather at that time. This is also my grandson's greatest wish. I beg my grandfather not to refuse my grandson."

Grandpa pondered for a while and said, "Okay, because of your filial piety, go to the city to enjoy the happiness, but you have to prepare for the family as soon as possible. We will marry me after the coming-of-age ceremony next year. I am still in a hurry to hold my great-grandson."

Lu Chong nodded awkwardly, a gust of wind blew and brought a chill. Lu Chong immediately took out a thick cotton coat for his grandfather to put it on. However, his grandfather sighed and said, "I'm afraid the Lu family didn't expect that you would be a genius like you. So what about the core training of the clan disciples? The next step will be to put you in the core, and it's not just the blood of our Qi family."

Lu Chong asked carefully: "Does Lu Chong and the Qi family really have such a big grudge?"

Grandpa said deeply: "You have reached such a level now, which is beyond the level that too many people cannot estimate. Although many people are not clear about some things and are unwilling to mention them, it is time to tell you."

Lu Chong looked at his grandfather's head tilted to look at the dark sky in the night. After a while, he turned around and slowly said: "The Lu family is a relatively long family, with a history of almost a thousand years. Moreover, the Lu family has always emerged in many talents, and it has not begun to decline slightly until nearly a hundred years. However, its foundation is still very profound. It is said that there is a Grand Master of the Lu family in the imperial city now."

"About six hundred years ago, a genius appeared in the Qi family was not only proficient in the mining and refining of various metal and stones, but also very familiar with the formation. He once set up a nine-turn fantasy array to control all the enemies and beasts in a mountain, and finally killed them one by one, without missing or letting go."

"The rising Qi family has always controlled the entire Datong Prefecture. Until today, the state lord of Datong Prefecture is still in the hands of Qi Yunxie of Qi family. Although he competes for the lord every thousand years, the state lord every hundred years, and the city lord every thirty years, the descendants of the Qi family have been constantly talented and have always defended a large state and have never abandoned it." A sense of pride was also revealed in his grandfather's voice.

Grandpa paused for a moment and sipped a sip of tea. Lu Chong immediately added the tea for his grandfather. After Lu Chong sat down, his grandfather continued: "The relationship between the Lu family and the Qi family hundreds of years ago was very friendly. The two families often helped each other, but later something happened that broke the relationship between the Lu family and the Qi family."

"About sixty years ago, the Lu family abdicated in Liuyun Prefecture's prefecture after the abdication of the prefecture of Liuyun Prefecture was said to have entered the imperial city as the Grand Tutor. Since the Lu family did not have outstanding descendants to break through the martial arts realm, the prefecture of Liuyun Prefecture was acquired by Yue Lingzi of the Yue family. The Lu family only obtained the position of the city lord of Qinghe City, and changed from a large family to a medium-sized family. However, the Lu family and the Qi family still maintained friendly relations."

"At this time, a woman named Lu Shiyun married a clan of the Qi family. At first, Lu Shiyun got along well with the Qi family and taught some wooden tools of the Qi family. However, a few years later, Lu Shiyun actually broke into the Qi family's core production room and stole a nine-color divine stone from the Qi family."

"The Nine Colored Divine Stone is a very rare divine stone, and it is not easy to extract it. It is a magical additive for refining various top-grade weapons. It can increase the success rate of refining weapons by more than five levels, so that the hardness, toughness and sound control of the refined weapons have a great impact. The most important thing is that the Nine Colored Divine Stone is the key to the arrangement of high-level array eyes."

"So the Qi family sent elite disciples to pursue them, but Lu Shiyun killed several clans of the Qi family in succession and fled back to the Lu family. At this time, Qi Yunxie of the Qi family came out to chase them personally, and the Lu family executed Lu Shiyun, but the nine-colored divine stone was not found. Therefore, Qi Yunxie broke up with the Lu family and ordered all Qi family disciples not to marry Lu family women, and the Qi family women were not allowed to marry Lu family men, including all common people, to follow it."

Grandpa was already swallowing even more at this time, an old tears rolled down from the corner of his eyes, and Lu Chong also felt a torn pain in his heart. It turned out that his parents had chosen a rebellious path, and he had been suppressed by the senior leaders of the Lu family. However, he finally reached the senior leaders of the Lu family and gained the glory of returning to his hometown through hard work. Although the city lord, Lu Yuan and others wanted to hinder him, it was now difficult. After all, the Lu family needed someone to regain all the power and glory they had.

The night wind blew again, and Lu Chong felt the coldness. He stood up and prepared to help his grandfather into the house to rest. Suddenly, an incomprehensible question appeared in his mind. Since the nine-colored divine stone was so precious, how could it disappear in the end? This is also one of the reasons why the Qi family and the Lu family broke up. It seems that there must be hidden information.

Lu Chong asked grandfather: "Grandpa, are the major families secretly contacting each other?"

Grandpa said strangely: "Of course, after all, the strength and resources have been increased after contacting each other, but there are also conflicts between them. Why do you ask this?"

Lu Chong thought for a while and said, "Why did Lu Shiyun steal the Nine Colored Divine Stone? It should not be her own intention. It is unnecessary and dangerous for her. I guess she might have decided to do it because she was instructed."

Grandpa hesitated for a moment and nodded, Lu Chong said again: "There is no need to kill people even if you steal the Nine Colored Divine Stone. It can be seen that this Nine Colored Divine Stone is very important to the person who instructed her. In the end, Lu Shiyun was executed by the Lu family but could not find the Nine Colored Divine Stone, which means that someone has transferred the Divine Stone away. So who would it be?"

Grandpa also began to ponder, and Lu Chong continued: "The person who can make Lu Shiyun so obedient, must be the closest elder or person with a foreign surname. By the way, according to the function of the Nine Colored Divine Stone, only the refining and formation are the best. If it is a foreign surname, there will be only three large families, and other medium-sized families are not of great value to the Lu family."

Lu Chong immediately took out the genealogy of the Lu family and read it. He first read it quickly. When he found a name called Lu Zhenkang, Lu Chong's eyes lit up because Lu Zhenkang's wife happened to be Cheng's family. If Lu Zhenkang had something to do with Lu Shiyun, then this question should be explained clearly.
