Lu Yang originally wanted to tell his mother about such a big matter as soon as he came back, but he was delayed because of what happened just now.
Lu Yang was an obedient child. When he saw his mother getting angry, he hurriedly said: "Mom, this is what happened..." Then he explained the situation in detail.
After listening to this, Su Rui's face became extremely ugly and said, "What are you talking about? He asked you to go to the back mountain to practice physical skills in the future?"
"Yes! As long as I can practice physical skills, I can leave here with my mother in the future." Lu Yang's eyes were filled with excitement. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Su Rui sneered and asked immediately: "My child, do you still listen to your mother?"
Lu Yang was slightly startled, obviously not understanding the meaning of his mother's words, and said: "Mom, of course the child listens to you?"
Su Rui nodded, took a deep breath and said, "If you listen to me, tell him early tomorrow morning that you will never practice physical skills again."
Lu Yang was stunned, glanced at his mother in surprise, and asked in confusion: "Mom, why don't you let me practice physical skills?"
"Why?" Su Rui hesitated and said, "Since you want to know, let me tell you that the Lu family is much more complicated than you think, and the battle between legitimate sons is very fierce. Although you are just a concubine and have no status,
But once he treats you too well, the other legitimate sons will be wary of you, and may even secretly destroy you."
Su Rui paused for a moment, then continued: "Maybe you don't believe what your mother said. You read a lot of books when you were a child, and all the talk about brotherhood is actually a lie. The dark side of the family, you can't even see it at your age.
No. The other legitimate sons may not go too far and would not dare to do anything to you blatantly, but Lu Tao is different. He usually bullies you without fear. If he knew about this, he might be able to do something that would make people and gods angry.
Things come up."
"This, this, this..." Lu Yang didn't know what to say for a moment. He must have thought this way. Everyone is from the Lu family, so they shouldn't kill them all. Besides, Lu Yang doesn't believe that Lu Tao will really kill everyone.
After all, he was just a concubine with no status, and he never thought about competing with Lu Tao for the position of heir.
Su Rui glanced at his son, and that look seemed to reveal what he was thinking, and said slowly: "I know what you are thinking, you think that as long as you compete with Lu Tao for inheritance, he will not kill you, right?
Seeing Lu Yang nodding, she continued: "Actually, you are wrong. Lu Tao's mother status is very special. She is also the eldest daughter of a big family. Even if he does something to you, even if he kills you, your so-called
It’s hard for your father to stand up for you.”
Lu Yang thought about his mother's words, remained silent for a while, and shook his head: "Mother, I don't believe they would do this. I only practice physical skills with my father, and I don't usually see them. As long as I don't provoke them, they shouldn't.
Do what you want to do to me." A look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said word by word: "Mother, I have listened to you since I was a child. Now that I am no longer young, just let me make a decision once!"
Seeing that he couldn't persuade his son, Su Rui sighed: "It's not that I don't agree with you, it's just that if you take this step, there will be no possibility of turning back. You have to think about it."
Lu Yang knew what his mother was worried about, and he also had his own thoughts. He said, "Mother, I know you are worried about your child's safety, but I really hope you can leave here with me." He glanced around and continued:
"The environment here is really bad. Every winter, the thin quilt can't cover the coldness on the body. If I succeed in my cultivation, we can go to the manor together and live a good life."
Su Rui's eyes flashed with emotion, and he said: "My child, I know you have always thought about your mother, but I really don't care about this. As my mother said, as long as you are good, my mother will be satisfied.
." As she said that, she hugged Lu Yang in her arms, refusing to let go.
Lu Yang was held by his mother and felt his mother's frail body. He became more determined in his previous thoughts and said, "Mom, please, just give me a chance!"
Su Rui didn't answer. She didn't know how long it had been. She sighed and said, "You have already made up your mind, and I don't want to say anything more. If you really want to practice physical skills, go ahead! But I will say it first.
, if Lu Tao and others cause trouble for you, you should stop practicing and mother will go to them to argue with you."
Lu Yang's face lit up, he nodded vigorously and said, "Mother, I will definitely listen to you."
At night, Lu Yang was lying on the bed, thinking about what his mother said, and he had already made plans for the future.
The next morning, Lu Yang left the room and ran straight to the back mountain not far away.
In the late autumn morning, there was a hint of coolness in the air. Lu Yang's body was already weak and the clothes he wore were thin. He shuddered every few steps he took. Lu Yang's body shivered a few times, ###
Running forward, the speed of his feet became faster and faster. Only in this way could he get rid of the coldness on his body.
After about half a cup of tea, Lu Yang came to the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain.
The two guards are still guarding here. It's not that they haven't rested, because they are all masters of physical skills. At night, they can practice while resting, and the effect is very good. As long as they sit cross-legged and practice for an hour, it is equivalent to a normal person sleeping for a night.
, so the two of them have always been responsible for guarding the bamboo forest.
When the two saw Lu Yang this time, their attitudes were completely different from before, and their tone of voice was even flattering.
Zhang Hu walked up to Lu Yang, nodded and said: "Master Ninth, you got up so early. Have you had breakfast? Do you want my subordinates to prepare it for you?"
Not to mention, Lu Yang was really hungry. Because he got up early, he didn't have time to have breakfast early. He also wanted to practice physical skills quickly, so he gave up this breakfast. However, Lu Yang didn't want to delay here.
Time, for him, he doesn't have to eat breakfast. If he goes late and makes his father unhappy and leaves a bad impression, then the gain outweighs the loss.
Lu Yang shook his head and said, "No, I have to go up the mountain."
Another guard, Wang Feng, obviously did not want to miss the opportunity. He reminded him in a flattering manner: "Master Ninth, there is a lot of dew on the mountain in the early morning, and the ground may be slippery. Be careful when walking and don't fall on the ground.
.”
"Thank you." Lu Yang said politely and walked ### deep into the bamboo forest.
After Lu Yang left, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Zhang Hu laughed and said: "It seems that we have overthought it. This kid is much more spineless than we thought. Not only did he not pursue the past matters, he also said thank you to us. He is really an obedient child."
"Yes! I also think he is too naive. Let alone a concubine, even if he is a legitimate son, it would be difficult for him to live to adulthood with a character like his." Zhang Feng said in agreement, "If this happened to the eldest young master,
I’m afraid we’ve already lost our heads and body. The young master is so cruel. If you say the wrong thing, your body will be collected!”
Zhang Hu suddenly thought of something and said: "You said that the master is so kind to this boy now that he even let him go to the back mountain, probably to teach him the training methods of physical skills. The eldest young master is the future heir of the family, if he knows this
Will you kill this kid? If you really do it, whose side are we on?"
Wang Feng said without even thinking: "Do you still think about this? This kid has never practiced physical skills. Even if he practices now, he still can't reach a very high level. He can surpass us and is already a genius. Besides, even if
His cultivation has improved very quickly, so what? How can he compete with the young master if he has no strength? We'd better not help anyone and just watch them fight among themselves."
Zhang Hu thought for a while, nodded and said: "You are right, we still don't help anyone in this kind of family dispute. If we help well, we can get huge benefits and become the right-hand man of the future family head. If we can't help
Okay, let’s get stuck in it, and if we risk our lives, we’ll have to deal with it here. No one is sure whether this guy is a genius, and if his cultivation level skyrockets, we won’t even have a chance to regret it.”
For a master of martial arts, it only takes a few breaths to reach the top of a thousand-foot mountain peak, but for Lu Yang, it is too high. Lu Yang climbed a mountain for the first time, and he was out of breath every time he climbed a certain distance and had to stop.
Come down to rest. But time waits for no one. Looking at the sun that is about to rise, Lu Yang knows that time is running out, so he grits his teeth and climbs to the top of the mountain.
I don't know how long it took, but Lu Yang finally reached the top of the mountain. His forehead was covered with big beads of sweat, his body was soaked with sweat, and even his legs were shaking slightly. He was obviously very tired. However, Lu Yang's
But his face shone with excitement because he finally climbed to the top of the mountain within the prescribed time.
However, when he was looking around for his father, his foot suddenly slipped and he fell straight down the mountain.
"It's over." Lu Yang didn't expect to be so unlucky. If he really fell, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.
At this critical moment, a figure ### came like lightning. It was unimaginably fast. It came behind Lu Yang in an instant, and picked up Lu Yang the moment his body fell. The figure
After picking up Lu Yang, he flashed several times in succession, then came to the platform in the middle of the mountain top and put Lu Yang down.
Even if Lu Yang thought with his toes, he knew who the person who saved him was. When he saw the other person's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but ask: "Father, you still care about the child, right?"
The person who saved Lu Yang just now was indeed Lu Zhentian. After hearing this, he was slightly startled and said, "Why do you say that?"
Lu Yang rolled his eyes and replied: "If the father didn't care about the child, he wouldn't have secretly observed it, and he wouldn't have been able to save the child in the first place."
Lu Zhentian laughed, his face full of surprise, and praised: "I didn't expect you to be so smart at such a young age, and so dangerous just now. You could immediately guess who the person who saved you was, and you could analyze it so thoroughly.
He is worthy of being my son, Lu Zhentian." He paused and continued: "Lu Yang, don't worry, although you are a bastard, I will treat you well and will never favor one over another."
At this moment, Lu Yang felt an unprecedented father's love, the father's love he had been looking forward to for many years.
Lu Yang's eyes were a little moist. He had been waiting for this day for more than ten years, and he choked with sobs: "Father..."
Seeing his son's expression like this, Lu Zhentian felt even more ashamed of their mother and son, so he changed the subject and said, "You are my son, Lu Zhentian. Don't cry. Now start learning the physical skills from me."
