Chapter 25—Destiny for This Life (I)

"Don't think I don't know anything, Xiaoxing, you are really incurable, how many times have our Lu family been rejected and slandered by others, but why are we still standing? It is because of our family motto to be low-key and low-key in handling things. Otherwise, our family would have been copied a long time ago, but what about you? Such a blatant bribery of the emperor's cronies, and also helped others burn the venue of the competition, you did such a thing that ruined the family style, where would my face be kept? Where would the reputation of our Lu family go? No, if Wang Ming, the general of Ruocheng, had mentioned this matter to me before, he had righteously asked me to kill my relatives with great righteousness. What do you tell me to do?" Lu Kang looked at his incomparably beloved son in front of him, his expression was extremely helpless.

Lu Xing's face turned blue and white, and he wondered why his father actually knew what he was doing outside. His face changed many times in a row, but he didn't dare to think that his father would ask for specific details. He struggled for a long time, and he didn't dare to answer his father's question.

Lu Kang looked at his son in front of him who lowered his head and didn't speak, he had an expression of hatred on his face, he stomped his feet hatefully, and his voice became painful. "Son, I didn't say you, you did such a thing, how can I rest assured that this family will be handed over to you?"

Lu Xing had not planned to deal with his father about these things, but when his father mentioned the "inheritance of the family", Lu Xing's expression changed instantly, and he looked at his father with an incredulous gaze, but he still didn't dare to say a word.

"Lu Xing, do you really have no plans? Do you really decide to let your life go on like this?" Lu Kang was very angry, he slapped his Shi Zhuozi fiercely, and yelled loudly at his precious son.

Since Lu Xing was born, Lu Kang, who had a son, was very happy, but in exchange for his favorite woman who died in childbirth because of giving birth to Lu Xing. Lu Kang has always felt ashamed of Lu Xing, so he has been doing his best to protect Lu Xing for so many years, allowing him to grow up freely and unrestrained since he was a child, but now, for the first time in his life, Lu Kang suspects that what he did is wrong. For a long time, out of guilt for Lu Xing's mother and the joy of having a son in old age, Lu Kang has never allowed Lu Xing to grow up by himself, and never gave him any restraint and pressure. But what Lu Kang didn't expect was that his precious son didn't learn and didn't know how to do evil since he was a child. This time it caused such a situation again, and Lu Kang really had no choice.

"Father" Lu Xing's voice snorted, and he didn't know why his father was suddenly so angry with him. Lu Xing vaguely felt that something was wrong, and he seemed to think that someone had specially told his father.

Lu Kang's face was full of hatred, and he couldn't wait to pick up the golden gun that he put beside him and raise it to beat his son directly. However, he waved his hand halfway but couldn't wave it anymore, facing such a son in front of him who made him hurt and hate.

"That's it, you better go to Ruocheng to exercise with your second uncle, I hope you can grow up after you have experienced it, it seems that my previous thinking was wrong, hey, maybe Jiang'er will be more suitable for the head of this family than you, so you can go to your second uncle first, don't let me down again," Lu Kang let out a long sigh, then turned around and entered the room in the corner of the small courtyard, and closed the door very fiercely, leaving Lu Xing alone in the courtyard at a loss.

Lu Xing's face changed many times in a row, and it was the first time he heard the phrase "Go to Ruocheng to exercise with your second uncle" from his father's mouth, and he also knew that the relationship between himself and his second uncle had always been very stiff, and if he was really sent to Ruocheng, he would definitely not have good fruits to eat. Besides, there is also his cousin, who will definitely take this opportunity to speak ill of himself in front of his father and belittle his own actions, so that he can threaten his heir position.

"I won't let your plan succeed" Lu Xing secretly clenched his fists, and a strong murderous aura surged in his heart. But his eyes seem to have been cast on the distant Ruocheng

The setting sun shrouds the surrounding sky, which is gradually becoming darker, and countless bamboo forests dyed red by the setting sun are reflected in the sky. From the outside, this bamboo forest does not look like a quiet bamboo forest at all, but a poplar forest with white bark. It is precisely because of this that many people who come to look for this bamboo forest are confused by the appearance. Therefore, there are not many people on the Demon Spirit Continent who can really understand the existence of this bamboo forest.

"Senior brother, look! There is still one here! Don't let it go!" A young woman dressed in brown coarse linen clothes and holding a hemp rope on her head squatted on the ground looking for naturally growing plants, and shouted with great interest to a man in coarse cloth clothes not far away.

The young man not far away smiled indifferently, and then walked over with a bamboo basket, and his voice was very soft, "Senior sister, aren't I here?"

The woman who was squatting on the ground said dissatisfiedly, "What's the matter? Am I not in a hurry?

The young man's face was full of doting expressions, he gently touched the head of the girl who was squatting on the ground, and comforted softly: "Senior sister, you are wrong, it is not a bad thing to be impatient. Besides, I didn't say you weren't in a hurry!"

The girl who was on the ground gently shook her hand and patted the young man's hand, and said in a coquettish voice: "By the way, senior brother, how does it feel to live here now?

These two people who call each other senior brothers and sisters are Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, who left Donglinguan and returned to the bamboo forest to live in seclusion, for the two of them, the current days are indeed very peaceful and peaceful compared to the previous days of deceit. It's not,

"I also think it's weird," Feng Baiyi touched his head, he basically had no memory of his life as a child, "Although living here makes me feel very warm, I don't know why, I don't have any memory of the place where you lived when I was a child."

Xia Qing dusted off the withered yellow leaves falling from his knees, jumped up with joy, and his voice was very crisp and pleasant, "Okay, senior brother, don't think about it if you can't think about it." I guess it's about the same, let's go back!"

Feng Baiyi looked up at the sunset in the sky, and felt that it was already time to return home. There are not many people living in this bamboo forest, and for Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi, life is also very free. After they returned from Donglinguan, they had already indifferently looked down on the world's battles, and they had gradually indulged in the unusually meager life in the bamboo forest.

"Okay, it's your turn to cook today!" Feng Baiyi smiled, took Xia Qing's hand, and carried a bamboo basket containing food in the other hand. The two walked hand in hand towards the depths of the bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest is deep and lofty, and you can vaguely see several simple thatched huts and thatched houses located in the bamboo forest, but the hermitage of these bamboo forests is quite far away, and they rarely come and go, and there are very few real intersections.

Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi lived with their master Shi Baoquan in the deepest part of this bamboo forest when they were children, and in the deepest part of this bamboo forest, there is a strange peach blossom that grows in color, this peach blossom is extremely colorful, but once people come into contact with it, they will immediately be confused by the fragrance of flowers, and produce many strange hallucinations. Therefore, the deepest part of this bamboo forest is also known as the "Peach Blossom Miasma", only Shi Baoquan found a way to avoid the Peach Blossom Miasma, and took Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi to live alone in the depths of the bamboo forest, and only went out when they had to buy daily necessities.

Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing spent what they thought was the happiest childhood in this kind of life. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the great changes that occurred when they were fifteen years old completely changed their lives.

For the two of them, the memory of fifteen years old is very vague, but it seems to be more vivid as if it happened yesterday. That year was the year when their master Shi Baoquan disappeared, and there were many things that happened to Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi that year, and each one was even worse than the other. The master is missing, the junior sister is taken away, and he wants to take revenge but has no way, Feng Baiyi only seems to remember such a little thing in his mind.

However, there will always be colorful rainbows in the sky after the rain, and Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi have always believed that this matter must be correct. Even though they have suffered a lot of unknown exclusion and oppression, they still want to live their own lives.

Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing returned to a thatched hut arm in arm, which was built by Xia Qing when he returned to this bamboo forest for the second time. This was also a last resort, because when she returned to the "Peach Blossom Miasma", she found that the bamboo house was already inhabited. Xia Qing is not good at fighting with these people for this house that she has no way to belong to. So she had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and came to the place outside the center of the bamboo forest to build this thatched hut.
