Chapter 5 The heart is warm and cold
After breakfast, Lu Yan chatted with his mother for a few words and walked out of his house.
At first, Lu Yan's mother was against it, but she couldn't resist Lu Yan's insistence, and in the end, Lu Yan told her mother that she was going to her grandfather, and Lu's mother nodded in agreement.
To be honest, Lu Yan has always felt very guilty about his mother. Since his father disappeared, his eldest brother followed a master to practice outside a few years ago, and only Lu Yan and his mother were left in the family.
Her husband is missing, her eldest son is not there, and she has only known cultivation in the past few years, and she has not been able to help her mother share her worries, so you can imagine how difficult her mother has been in the past few years.
So Lu Yan told himself in his heart at this time that he must work hard to get his father and eldest brother back, so that his mother doesn't have to worry about it and doesn't have to work so hard.
Standing at the door of the house, Lu Yan looked at the distance and howled softly...... Then go in a certain direction.
.......
"Young Master Yan is early... Young Master Yan ..... early"
The clansmen and slaves who came and went along the way saw Lu Yan walking, and they all bowed sideways and respectfully to Lu Yan.
"Hmm......" Lu Yan nodded with a flat face.
Since Lu Yan's father disappeared, their family's original status in the family has been reduced a lot in an instant, and even the luxurious mansion where they originally lived has been taken back. Many of the clansmen and slaves who had taken the initiative to cling to their family had completely wiped out their relationship with their family at that moment, and only a few people had come to visit.
The warmth and coldness of the people at that moment made Lu Yan extremely angry in his heart, but he also felt deeply powerless. What made me most sad was that his so-called "grandfather", that is, the contemporary patriarch of the Lu family, did not stand up to help them say a word, but just said coldly to Lu Yan, the rule of the Lu family for thousands of years is that only the strong, only those who have made great contributions to the family can be qualified to have the best resources!
At that moment, he was as embarrassed as a dog, but it also aroused Lu Yan's unyielding will, and also gave him a crazy idea.
Although he was arranged to come to such a humble place now, Lu Yan did not lose heart, but cultivated harder than before.
Even though the status of the Lu Yan family has declined at this moment, after all, he is still the young master of the Lu family, so those servants and clansmen still maintain enough respect for him.
.......
As one of the four major families in Longzhou Mansion, the Lu family is prosperous, and all the clansmen live in the mansion. So many people live together and need a wide area, so the entire Lu family covers an area that is also very huge, with all kinds of large courtyards, small courtyards, pavilions, and pavilions, endlessly. It is crisscrossed by various roads, and if you are not a person who lives in the Lu family all year round, it is easy to get lost.
"Didn't you say that Lu Yan was injured, why did he look like he was okay today..."
"yes, I heard that his meridians seem to have been broken...."
"What... You say his meridians are broken?"
"Yes, I heard from our deacon."
"If the meridians are broken, won't it be impossible to cultivate anymore and become waste?...
"Who's to say it isn't....."
"That's really miserable, his father just disappeared a few years ago, and now he has become a waste again, it seems that the status of the family will definitely be even worse in the future......"
"Alas, who said it wasn't, his father was the first day of our Lu family, but I didn't expect his son to become a waste now, tiger father and dog......"
"Phew, the bad Lao Tzu was so respectful to him just now... I knew it earlier..."
"Just a waste......
"It's just.... It's just..."
When Lu Yan left, those servants and low-level clansmen all pointed at Lu Yan's back, sighing, regretting, mocking, and speaking ill of him.
Before, Lu Yan was in a coma when he was cultivating in Yanlong Cave, his meridians were damaged, and the news of his strength had already spread throughout the entire Lu family. So naturally, all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky.
Although he had already traveled a long way, Lu Yan, as he had broken through to the Qi Cultivation Realm, naturally couldn't hear their arguments as ordinary people.
"Hehe, a group of short-sighted guys" The experience of the past few years has made Lu Yan too lazy to pay attention to these gossips.
After passing through the courtyards, Lu Yan finally came to his destination today, the "Lion Awakening Pavilion", where the Lu family patriarch usually works and lives.
Looking up at the three big characters of "Awakening Lion Pavilion" on it, Lu Yan didn't understand why he chose such a name, maybe it had other deep meanings, and shook his head slightly puzzled.
...
The door to the attic is open, and there are no guards in front of it!
The patriarch of each family is almost the most powerful person in a family, and he doesn't need a guard at all! So there is no guard here, Lu Yan doesn't feel strange at all.
After taking a deep breath to make himself look a little less nervous, Lu Yan walked into the attic.
The interior of the attic is simply decorated and furnished. I saw that the room was directly east, and at this time, an old man was looking fixedly at a painting hanging on the wall with his back on his back.
The old man's back looks bleak, giving people a sense of twilight.
Lu Yan looked at the old man's back, he originally had some resentment in his heart, but he was infected by the twilight of the old man's body, and it seemed that the previous hatred was not so deep.
Lu Yan couldn't figure out why the old man, who was the ruler of a clan, had such a situation.....
"Why are you here......." Suddenly, an old, slightly tired voice interrupted Lu Yan's thoughts.
It turned out that the old man had turned around at some point, and looked at Lu Yan kindly at this time.
"Ahem...... Lu Yan coughed lightly, sorted out his thoughts, and then said, I just came over to tell you, I'm already fine.
"Oh, is it?" asked the old man in surprise, with deep confusion and confusion in his eyes.
"You don't have a good body to cultivate in the house, why did you suddenly think of coming to me." Although I didn't ask why it was good, my eyes were full of care.
"Thank you for the patriarch's concern, my grandson's body has fully healed after more than a month of cultivation," Lu Yan replied coldly.
Hearing the word "patriarch", the old man's body trembled, and the hand hidden in his sleeve couldn't help but tremble a few times.
"It seems that you have some resentment against me......" The old man sighed and said slowly.
"Don't dare!" Lu Yan looked directly at the old man in front of him and replied indifferently.
"You still said no, then why didn't you call me grandpa just now, but call me patriarch!" the old man suddenly reprimanded in a tone of voice.
"Why do I call you grandpa, did you go to look for my father when he disappeared, did you come out to help me when my house was repossessed by the family, did you come out to help me when my mother and I were bullied by other high-ranking members of the family......." Lu Yan raised his head suddenly, his face was hideous, his eyes were red, and he asked angrily.
"Alas........!" Looking at Lu Yan's angry expression, the old man shook his head and sighed!
"I know you have anger in your heart, I don't blame you, but this is the Lu family, the Lu family has been inherited for thousands of years, and naturally has his rules, even if I am the patriarch of a clan, I can't break the rules, and the entire Lu family is not like what you see, I am not alone in the final say. As for the grievances suffered by you and your mother, I still blame me for putting my mind on dealing with family affairs and not taking care of you, and I apologize to you. After the old man finished speaking, the whole person's momentum fell, and he felt that he had aged dozens of years in an instant.
The old man's sudden words made Lu Yan a little overwhelmed. The old man's apology was completely unexpected, and the whole person was completely stunned.
Call.... Lu Yan calmed down the excitement in his heart and adjusted his emotions to make himself look as if he was calm.
"Okay, since you said that it is the rules of the Lu family, then I won't worry about these things with you first, but the first one I came here today is to tell you that my body is already well, because my mother asked me to come. Lu Yan said lightly.
Hearing Lu Yan's words, the facial muscles on the old man's face moved slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.
"What about the second one," the old man asked slowly. Looks kind and kind.
Lu Yan looked at the old man, and he couldn't feel if the old man's smile at this time was fake, at least it looked like the real thing.
The second is that I'm going to come over and get the thing my father left for the family before he disappeared.
"Are you talking about a golden silk dragon ginseng?" The old man instantly understood Lu Yan's intentions.
"That's right, it's the golden dragon ginseng that my father left for the family," Lu Yan didn't hide the purpose of his coming over this time, and said with his head held high.
