The faint sound in the forest suddenly solidified.
Lu Zhan stood erect and motionless, his eyes fixed on the positions of the old pine trees in the forest, and time slipped by in silence.
After enough time to have a cup of tea, a figure finally appeared from behind the trunk of one of the pine trees. The figure seemed very hesitant. He stood frozen beside the trunk for a moment before walking towards Lu Zhan.
.
As the figure approached step by step, his face became clearer; he was in his fifties, with ruddy complexion, sharp eyes, and a square face. He looked very majestic, but his beard and hair were already slightly gray.
color.
"It's you? Lord Marquis!" After Lu Zhan saw the man's face clearly, he was shocked. This man turned out to be the real owner of the Lu Mansion who had not been seen for a long time - the righteous and brave Marquis Lu Bufan.
Before this, the last time Lu Zhan saw him was three years ago. At that time, the Yiyong Marquis was majestic and impressive. Unexpectedly, when he saw him again three years later, he was already much older and would never look the same again.
The style of those days.
Maybe, time makes people grow old.
Perhaps it was because Lu Zhan himself had grown up and strengthened. He no longer had to raise his head to look up at the righteous and brave prince in front of him, so his feelings were definitely different from those three years ago.
The righteous and brave Marquis Lu Bufan walked to a place not far from Lu Zhan and stood there, his eyes falling on the withered corpse of the third young master.
Then Lu Bufan let out a long sigh and said, "It seems that I came too late and couldn't catch up with the life-and-death fight between you and the third child."
Lu Zhan also sighed in his heart and admitted aloud: "I was the one who killed the man. Your son and I have the revenge of killing our father. This irreconcilable hatred must be avenged! Now if the Marquis wants to do something for your son,
I will never run away from revenge, but I will never surrender to death."
Lu Zhan didn't have much resentment towards the righteous and brave Marquis Lu Bufan, and when his father was alive, he admired the righteous and brave Marquis the most.
Therefore, Lu Zhan has admired him very much since he was a child. However, since his father's death, he has seen so many embarrassing and gloomy events happening in the Lu family, but Lu Bufan has always remained hidden, so although Lu Zhan treats him
There is still respect, but no admiration anymore.
Lu Bufan looked at the third young master's body expressionlessly, but said lightly: "You are not to blame for this, he brought it upon himself."
Lu Zhan didn't expect that he would understand justice so well. He was a little confused for a moment, wondering if the Marquis had any other conspiracy?
His son died, and he died so miserably, yet he remained unmoved; his calm look was like looking at the corpse of a stranger who had nothing to do with him.
Lu Bufan felt Lu Zhan's doubts, and he moved his eyes away from the third young master's body and turned to Lu Zhan.
He looked Lu Zhan up and down, his eyes full of complicated emotions, but he did not reveal any resentment: "You can actually kill the third child. This is something I never expected. I have always thought
I'm keeping an eye on you, although your growth has been rapid. But there is still a long way to go before you can kill the third child."
"Have you been paying attention to me all this time?" Lu Zhan had several big questions in his mind: "Master Hou, haven't you been practicing in seclusion? Where do you find the time to pay attention to me?"
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the feeling of being peeked from behind that he had felt some time ago. Could it be that Lu Bufan was secretly spying on him?
Lu Bufan seemed to have guessed the doubts in Lu Zhan's mind, and he nodded and admitted: "Yes, I have been secretly monitoring you, because you are the most talented person in martial arts that I have ever seen, even surpassing the third child.
It can be said that you are capable of becoming the savior of our Lu family."
"Become the savior of the Lu family?" Lu Zhan felt increasingly confused. The Lu family was so powerful. Not only was it a noble marquis, but it also had a deep foundation in the capital. How could there be some kind of disaster that would require the help of a savior?
After Lu Bufan said that meaningless sentence, he did not continue to deepen the topic. Instead, he walked to the mummy of the third young master, leaned over and looked at the third young master, and whispered to himself: "Huh, you killed so many people."
Many people come to help you do the "innate blood refining**". But you must have never thought that you would eventually end up being "blood refining into the soul". Anyone who does evil will die. This is
This is the eternal truth. You kid, you think you have found the way to defy heaven, so you can do whatever you want. But the way of heaven is clear, how can you go against it with your little deeds?"
"Master Marquis, what are you..." Lu Zhan hesitated, wondering whether he should ask all the doubts in his heart.
"Are you wondering why I'm not sad at all, but instead look a little excited and elated?" Lu Bufan asked.
"Yes." Lu Zhan nodded. Although he was vaguely aware of some problems between father and son, he felt that Lu Bufan's behavior at this moment was still a bit contrary to human ethics.
Lu Bufan hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth: "Because the third child is not my biological son, he has no blood relationship with our Lu family."
"Um?"
Lu Zhan's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he quickly returned to his calm demeanor.
Now that Lu Bufan's most difficult words have been uttered, it is no longer difficult to say the next words.
He continued: "The mother of the third child is the concubine I brought home from a brothel. She is extremely beautiful, can be said to be more delicate than a flower, and is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. She was favored by me at first. But she just entered the Lu Mansion.
Not long after, she was raped by a murderer during an outing in Beiquan Mountain. At that time, the murderer killed her bodyguards and maids, leaving her alone to indulge in sexual pleasures. Later, when she stayed there,
When I found her, the thug had already fled away; but she was already pregnant. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything wrong with the third lady at that time, so I still welcomed her home to keep her alive. I
If he had known that there was an evil seed in her belly at that time, he would never have allowed a child with the blood of a murderer to come into this world.
Ten months later, the third wife gave birth to a baby boy. My husband was indeed ecstatic at that time, so happy to have a baby boy. Although at first I felt that the baby looked nothing like me, I didn’t think much about the situation at that time.
It wasn't until the third child was one year old that the murderer who raped the third wife suddenly came to the house and laughed at the old man and said that the child was his son. At that time, I saw that the assailant's features did look somewhat similar to the third child, and I was making calculations.
The next time was actually very consistent. I was so annoyed in my heart that I had a big fight with the madman. However, the murderer followed a peerless stranger whom he called the "Old God of the Cave Mansion" to practice, and his martial arts attainments were surprisingly high.
, has already broken through to the state of transforming strength into nothingness! Not only could I not defeat him, but I was caught by him between three moves and two moves.
The thug was not in a hurry to kill me. Instead, he asked me to take good care of his son without slacking off, otherwise the Lu family would be wiped out and no one would be left alive. After saying this, he flew away in the clouds.
Although I was extremely unwilling, I was afraid that the Lu family would suffer misfortune, so I had no choice but to swallow my anger and drag the third child away. As the saying goes, love grows with time, and I gradually developed a love for the third child. Although I am a wicked person,
The boy is not guilty, and after the fourth child drowned, our Lu family's talents were indeed withering, and the third child was a genius. So I gave him all my money and used all the resources of my Lu family on him.
I hope to cultivate a top master of Huajing Realm for our Lu Mansion, so that we can shine on the front door.
It's a pity that the evil blood of the murderer flows in the bones of the third child. As he grows older, the violence in his body has gradually emerged. However, due to my presence, he can still restrain himself a little.
It was not until later that his murderous father came to look for him in the house again and brought him into the sect of the 'old god' that the third child was completely free from my control.
You may have heard what happened next. He has been practicing and wandering outside, and developed a large business of his own with the help of Lu Mansion's influence and resources. It didn't take long for me to hear something about him.
There were very bad rumors about him, such as that he killed many people, that he was violent and capricious, that he had robbed countless people, etc. His bad deeds were too numerous to list, until one day your father secretly told me that he was constantly killing a large number of cultivators.
The martial artist thought he was doing some weird 'innate blood refining' thing, and then I realized that he had degenerated into practicing evil arts and poisoning all living beings."
"My father?" Lu Zhan interrupted him and asked, "How did my father get involved in this matter?"
"Humph, it's all Liu Dugu's fault." Lu Bufan replied: "Your father is honest, reliable, and tight-lipped. Liu Dugu just took a fancy to these advantages of your father and wanted to use them for himself. He
First, let your father do some serious things that are very reasonable and legal, and then pay him a high reward. After receiving his benefits, your father naturally became more attentive to doing things for him. After going back and forth like this, he gradually came into contact with some
About the secret hidden by the third child.
Once, he was running errands for Liu Dagu to deliver two pieces of accounting information to Lao San. He accidentally discovered that Lao San was using the essence, blood and qi of a group of warriors to 'refine blood and transform soul'; that's what you see now.
A scene of killing a person and then absorbing all the essence, blood and qi in his body. Your father was so frightened at that time that he hid aside and did not dare to move. Fortunately, at that time, the third child was concentrating on using the 'Innate Blood Refining*
*', your father was not found, otherwise your father would not have been able to escape his murderous hands at that time.
Afterwards, your father came to me secretly and told me about it. Unfortunately, I was no longer able to discipline Lao San who had reached the peak of Qi Condensation and was about to break through to the realm of energy transformation. I also had a premonition that Lao San would treat me badly.
He already has a rebellious heart. He now knows that I am not his biological father and has long since lost the fetters of flesh and blood. Sooner or later he will attack me and the entire Lu family.
After your father told me about Lao San's "refining blood into soul" incident, apart from having a premonition that the crisis was getting closer and closer, I really couldn't think of a better way to stop their shocking evil deeds.
.However, your father is loyal to our Lu family. When he saw that I was in trouble, he took the initiative to monitor Lao San and Liu Dagu and report their actions to me at any time, so that everyone could be on guard and prepare. That's it.
Not long after, he was..."
At this point, Lu Bufan let out a long sigh, patted Lu Zhan on the shoulder and said, "So I also have a certain responsibility for your father's death. If I had stopped him at that time, let him get out of the incident as soon as possible, and take you out of Lu Mansion,
Maybe we won’t suffer this bad luck.”
