Chapter Thirteen: Preparations Before the Competition
In the early morning, it was very quiet.
In the morning, the air is fresh.
Lu Ming stood there, breathing the fresh air and enjoying the long-lost tranquility. This kind of enjoyment was rare for him.
The pride and confidence exuding from him made Lu Tianen very happy when he saw it in his eyes.
Three days, only three days left. I also need to prepare to keep my combat power at its peak. Lu Ming needs to prepare.
"Hello, third uncle." Lu Ming turned around and found Lu Tianen looking at him.
"You have been staying with me these past few days. You go home to avoid their worries. If you don't go back, Lu Yue's little girl will probably overturn my house tomorrow. She has come to see you several times. Remember
Come to my place the day after tomorrow." Li Tianen said to Lu Ming with a smile, just like a kind elder, without his usual harshness.
Lu Ming also wanted to go home. When he heard that Lu Yue was being naughty again, the corners of his mouth cracked. This little girl was naughty and cute. The third uncle was very strict with everyone, even the patriarch was cold.
But there was nothing he could do about Lu Yue. Thinking of Lu Yue, his heart felt warm and he loved her very much.
He rushed home, returning home as fast as an arrow could. He missed the food cooked by his mother.
"Dad, Mom, Yue'er, I'm back." Lu Ming shouted happily as soon as he ran into his yard.
"Haha." A long laugh came from inside the room.
"Dad, why are you laughing? Didn't you see that Ming'er looked bad? I don't know how much Ming'er has suffered!" Lu Ming's mother complained about Lu Lin and touched Lu Ming's face. Her maternal love was beyond words.
.
"It's a little bad, but I also gave you a big surprise, haha!" Although Lu Lin's face was a little solemn, after seeing Lu Ming's change, he patted his shoulder and laughed with great satisfaction.
"Don't worry, you will be fine tomorrow." Lu Ming's body has not fully recovered because the fusion in the training pool regenerated his muscles and bones.
"Brother, you have become stronger again." Lu Yue ran over from home and held Lu Ming's hand.
"Of course, if my brother wants to protect you, he must be strong." Lu Ming pinched Lu Yue's cheek and said.
"You don't need to protect me. My parents have promised me to practice. When the time comes, I will protect you and defeat those who bully you, right?" Lu Yue said with a small face full of arrogance.
"Oh! Why did my mother give birth to you two heartless people who went to practice and didn't go home? Who else would stay with my mother!" Lu Ming's mother said with a somewhat lonely look, but when she saw Lu Ming coming back, she
Still very happy.
Lu Ming had a good day's rest after returning home. He did not practice except for meditation. His first priority now was to restore himself to his peak condition and prepare for battle.
Looking at the dagger in his hand, it was Lu Ming's only weapon. In that battle with the spirit snake, he seemed to see the extraordinary power of this dagger. His eyes looked at the light reflected from the dagger, reaching directly into his heart, making him
's heart trembled.
He quickly moved his eyes away and slowly calmed his mind.
This will be his only support in the competition, and he will look extremely shabby compared with those elders' disciples or direct descendants.
Three days came in a blink of an eye. That afternoon, Lu Ming, his parents and Lu Yue walked to the fifth elder's place.
At night, Lu Ming was meditating and adjusting his breath. Suddenly, a thin voice came to his ears: "Ming'er, come to my room."
Lu Ming stood up, crossed the night sky, and came to the entrance of a cave. He slowed down and walked to the entrance of the cave.
"Ming'er has arrived." Lu Ming stood at the entrance of the cave and said softly.
"Come in." A voice came out faintly from inside.
"Third uncle." Lu Ming walked into the cave and said after seeing the man.
"How are you preparing?" Lu Tianen smiled and looked at Lu Ming. Lu Ming gave him too much shock. Now he is no longer as harsh as he was before. Instead, he treats Lu Ming with more love and care.
look forward to.
Lu Ming felt the love and care from Lu Tianen, and his heart was more moved and grateful. Lu Ming is a grateful person. If others treat him well, he will remember it in his heart!
Third Uncle is the person he remembers in his heart, and there are very few people here who deserve to be remembered in his heart.
"My body has returned to normal." Lu Ming said. Apart from that, he had nothing to say. Apart from his body, there was only the dagger given to him by his third uncle. What else could he say?
Lu Tianen nodded and said, "I called you here today mainly to tell you that you must pay attention to Lu Hao and the Seventh Elder during the competition. These two people are not good people, so don't be careless!"
The Seventh Elder is famous for his protectiveness, and he is also famous for his narrow-mindedness and retribution in the Lu family.
"In order to prevent them from doing evil things and harming you, I give this to you just in case something unexpected happens." Lu Tianen took out a delicate small box from his arms and handed it to Lu Ming. Lu Tianen's actions showed some reluctance and collection.
The location of this object is very secret and you can tell that this object is of great importance!
Lu Ming held this exquisite box and felt it was heavy. He knew how valuable this item was, so what he held was not just a box, but also a true feeling!
Holding the box reminded him that when he was a child prodigy, there were many elders and relatives in the family who came to congratulate him with panaceas. Some relatives even risked everything for this, spending all their money to buy some treasures and send them over.
Shi Lu Ming didn't understand and thought this was normal.
But since he stopped making progress and was gradually caught up, those people gradually stopped being like that. Even when the patriarch said that he would be expelled from the Lu family, those who originally came to give gifts came to ask for them.
Ask for the items delivered.
Even those people were aggrieved when they left, saying that he was a waste and that they had lost several years in vain. They were holding on to the wrong people. If these miraculous medicines were given to other disciples, they might all have become rich or promoted by now.
Already.
Some very good friends and relatives also made sarcastic remarks at this time, and slowly drew a clear line with his family.
Recalling those scenes, as Lu Ming grew up and became wiser, he already understood the reasons, so he stayed behind closed doors and did not even participate in the competitions in previous years because he had to endure hardships.
Only his third uncle never gave up on him from beginning to end. When he was a child prodigy, he neither gave him a panacea nor a treasure. However, he supported him as always and helped others beg for help when they ridiculed and bullied his family.
Hui Gongdao taught him how to practice, provided him with resources and support, and now he gave him another treasure!
This is true love, this is true love. True love is not something you say or send, but it is always silently supporting you, looking at you, helping you silently, or even just saying "Are you tired? You have lost weight"
people!
Lu Ming's eyes were flashing with tears. Ever since he was ridiculed, his young mind has been hurt and suppressed. He has been gritting his teeth to practice, gritting his teeth and persevering in hardships that others cannot bear!
Tears flowed out. This was the first time Lu Ming shed tears in front of people other than his parents. After all, he was still young and he was also a child with true feelings!
"Hey! Ming'er, you have only tasted a little bit of the warmth and coldness of the human world. This is just the Lu family. When you leave the Lu family, go further and cultivate higher, there will be more injustice and more suffering.
Fight, even die in a foreign land, and bury your bones in a killing field!"
"After these things, you have to see that no matter what happens, your strength determines other people's attitude towards you!" Lu Tianen looked at Lu Ming and said, wiping Lu Ming's tears.
Lu Ming regained his composure, gritted his teeth and said, "Ming'er has learned a lesson, a man who bleeds, sweats and sheds no tears!"
"During the competition, let go of the fighting. If anyone knows that you are about to die, you will kill him directly. I will stop you!" Lu Tianen said with a cold look in his eyes. In this Lu family, apart from the clan leader, he can be afraid of him.
Never be afraid of anyone.
"Look at what's inside the box. If you swallow it as soon as you are seriously injured, it will save your life. Even if the clan leader hits you with all his strength, you won't be able to die!" Lu Tianen said, he was once again keeping this kind of treasure secret.
He had worked so hard to get it, but he only had one pill, and it had never been used.
"This..." Lu Ming didn't expect this thing to be so valuable. He heard that the head of the Lu family had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage last year.
"Keep it, don't spread the word. You can go back and rest. We will go to the competition venue together tomorrow," Lu Tianen said.
Lu Ming walked out of the cave, adjusted his mood, returned to the room, and opened the box. A strong medicinal fragrance and huge spiritual power instantly filled the air. Lu Ming suddenly felt as if his depressed heart had been blown away, and his mind
Refreshing.
This was a black pill, which should be an elixir. Lu Ming took a quick look and quickly closed the box to prevent any abnormality from disturbing other people.
Lu Ming, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes. The competition was about to begin today.
He was ready. The next step was for him to wash away his waste and prove himself. He wanted those snobs to see that Lu Ming was not the waste in their eyes.
He adjusted his combat power to the best state, and he wanted to make a big splash and let those people know that we, the monks, cannot be humiliated!
"Dabi! Lu Hao, I hope you won't disappoint me!" Lu Ming clenched his fists with a smile on his lips.
