................

According to the information he got from that subordinate, Lu Yan quickly found the place where the fool usually lived. This place is on this side of the mountain behind the Lu family's compound.

A slightly dilapidated tiled house stands alone at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by half-meter-high weeds and shrubs. The ten-metre area around the tiled house is separated from the weeds and shrubs by a wooden fence. There are no weeds in this middle area, which is obviously the reason why the owner of the house often trims it. This further verified the conjecture in Lu Yanxin's heart.

I saw that the doors and windows were closed, and a chuckle overflowed from the corners of Lu Yan's mouth. Then there was a knock on the door.

After about a quarter of an hour, the door suddenly opened, and I saw an unkempt and thin figure standing in the middle of the door, grinning and looking at Lu Yan with a smile.

"You're really here", Lu Yan looked at Lu Yi's sloppy image, and felt a little funny, but he still said kindly.

"Hey----- hey. I didn't see any other response from the fool, just giggling there.

Lu Yan had already known the fool's reaction, so he wanted to walk into the room directly regardless of anything else. Lu Yi, who was originally smirking, suddenly stretched out his hand to block Lu Yan's footsteps. The whole person was still grinning and looking at Lu Yan with a smirk.

"Hehe, I've been standing at your door for so long, don't you ask me to go inside and do it," Lu Yan said with a playful smile.

"Hehehe........" The fool was still grinning, and it looked extremely funny.

It seems that if you don't come to the truth, you won't admit it. Looking at this fool's reaction, Lu Yan sneered in his heart.

"Don't pretend, I know you're not stupid, don't tell me that the ground outside is so clean and that fence would be something that a fool can do," Lu Yan said slowly with his finger outside.

"Bang bang........ It's amazing, I can judge that I'm not a fool through such details, it seems that although our Young Master Yan has broken meridians, his brain is not bad. The fool who was still grinning and smirking suddenly seemed to be a different person, looked at Lu Yan with sharp eyes and said with a smile.

"You're really not a fool!" Lu Yan was not surprised by Lu Yi's sudden change.

"Since you're not stupid, aren't you going to tell me your name. Lu Yan asked with a smile

"Name........... For years, everyone called me a fool, and I almost forgot my name."

"My name is Lu Yi"

Lu Yi..... Not bad, quite a good name," Lu Yan thought the name was average, but he still praised it.

"Sit down...."Lu Yi pulled a stool over, put it next to Lu Yan and said.

Lu Yan was not hypocritical, pulled over the stool, and sat down.

While sitting down, Lu Yan swept the entire room with the corner of his eye.

The furnishings in the room were extremely simple, except for a worn-out wooden bed and a dining table, and nothing else. But there was a faint smell of medicine in the air.

Sure enough, there is an elixir, it seems that the guesses of those subordinates are not wrong, Lu Yan secretly thought in his heart, but he did not take the initiative to say it.

"Since you already know that I'm not stupid, then I won't hide it from you, in fact, I have always known about your existence and have been paying attention to your news, but I have been in the back kitchen, so I haven't seen you in person," Lu Yi said very calmly.

"Oh, you actually know me", this time it was Lu Yan's turn to be a little surprised.

"What's so strange about this, you are the son of Lu Tao on the first day of the Lu family, of course I know your name", Lu Yi said with some smugness.

"Oh, it seems that you are really not simple", this time Lu Yan felt that this Lu Yi was not simple.

"You're not simple, you can see that I'm not really stupid, no one has ever been able to see it after so many years, I can't imagine that you are the first", Lu Yi said sarcastically.

"Say, you don't care about your body at home, why do you suddenly care about me, a nobody, Lu Yi also pulled a stool and sat opposite Lu Yan and stared at Lu Yan's eyes very seriously and asked.

When the topic came, Lu Yan knew that Lu Yi would definitely ask like this, but he didn't think there was anything wrong.

"It's very simple, I overheard two subordinates discussing your strength yesterday, and suddenly you broke through from the third layer of refining to the fifth layer in a short period of time. You must know that under normal circumstances, it takes at least three months for a person with normal qualifications to break through a small level in the Body Refining Realm, unless it is a very high-level elixir, it is possible to break through in a very short period of time, then, not to mention that you are still a fool. Lu Yan said unhurriedly.

"Oh!, just because of this, you judge that I'm not a fool, this is too arbitrary," Lu Yi's expression was obviously a little incredulous.

"Yes, that's not enough for me to determine if you're really stupid or fake, but I went to the back kitchen to look for you, and I saw those people say that you haven't been to the back kitchen for a few days, you know, you used to go there every day, rain or shine, so I was a little suspicious of you at the time."

Lu Yan paused and continued, "When I came to you just now, I found that there were overgrown weeds around here, but the ground within ten meters of you and your house was flat and clean, without a trace of weeds, and those fences were neatly hunted. So I'm going to conclude that you're not stupid at all, because I don't believe a fool can do that with such care.

Bang Bang Bang -----

"Sure enough, you are worthy of Lu Tao's son, you are very powerful." There was a hint of appreciation in Lu Yi's words.

"Yes, I really haven't been stupid in the past three years", Lu Yi didn't hide it, and admitted it directly.

................

When he heard Lu Yi personally admit that he was pretending to be stupid, Lu Yan did not feel any joy in his heart, but there was a faint trace of uneasiness in his heart, this uneasiness was constantly spreading throughout his brain, shaking his head, Lu Yan couldn't figure out why he felt this way, maybe he was too sensitive, Lu Yan could only give himself such an explanation.

"Why are you pretending to be stupid in the past few years, you won't tell me it's just fun", Lu Yan asked curiously.

Lu Yi did not immediately answer Lu Yan's question, but closed his eyes.

Seeing this, although Lu Yan felt a little strange, he didn't interrupt him, but unceremoniously walked to the dilapidated wooden table and sat down, poured himself a glass of water by the way, and drank it to himself.

Although Lu Yan was very calm on the surface, in fact, his inner emotions had already fluctuated a little, because judging from Lu Yi's expression and reaction, Lu Yan had already begun to feel that Lu Yi's pretending to be stupid might not be simple.

Time flies slowly............

The whole room is very quiet at this time, and the silence makes people feel a little depressed.

Call-------

I don't know how long it took for the silence of the room to finally break.

"To survive, to get revenge. The simple eight words came out of Lu Yi's mouth, and Lu Yi's tone made people obviously feel a little relaxed, just like the feeling of relief when the Wanjun boulder pressed on his body was opened, and Lu Yi at this time looked much more relaxed than at the beginning.

But these eight words sounded like a roar in Lu Yan's ears. Lu Yan showed an expression of disbelief, and Lu Yi's answer made him feel incredible.

Lu Yi pretended to be stupid in order to survive and take revenge. Lu Yan couldn't understand Lu Yi's explanation, but judging from the change in his affection just now, Lu Yan didn't look like a fake.

"You mean, you are pretending to be stupid in order to survive and take revenge," Lu Yan asked in surprise.

"Yes, you heard it right, it's just to survive," Lu Yi said with a relaxed smile.

"Why? This is the Lu family--- and you are just a member of the Lu family, why is your life in danger. Lu Yan didn't understand at all.

"Could it be that someone in the Lu family wants to deal with you" Lu Yan suddenly thought of a possibility, but he felt that it was impossible in his heart.

"That's right, that's what you said, Lu Yi said with a smile.

"Are you saying that there will be people in the Lu family who want to be unfavorable to you? Why? You must know that your parents have made meritorious contributions to the family," Lu Yan felt more and more that things were more complicated than he imagined.

"Hehe, do you think the Lu family is really safe?" Lu Yi ignored Lu Yan's question, but said contemptuously.

"Isn't it?" Lu Yan asked rhetorically.

"You don't understand, although our Lu family is one of the four major families in Longzhou Mansion. But you have to understand that this doesn't mean that we are the most powerful force in Longzhou Mansion, sometimes for the sake of the interests of the clan, those stubborn and pedantic guys in the Elders' House can sacrifice everything, including your and my lives," Lu Yi said without being shocked.
