Hearing Zhu Feilu's words, and seeing Zhu Feilu's expression, Deng Linyuan was completely stunned. For a while, he didn't know what expression he should use to face the current Zhu Feilu.

Zhu Feilu himself is also very messy, since he met An Yuanxiu at Beicheng University for half a month, he has been tormenting every day.

On the one hand, it was because he wanted to do his part for the Zhu family, but he didn't know whether what he was doing now was good or bad for the Zhu family. Not only did he disobey his parents' requirements and participate in the affairs of the metaphysical world without telling his family, but he also deliberately approached An Yuanxiu, and he was tormented every day by the fear that his identity would be exposed and affect the Zhu family;

On the other hand, it is because he still remembers An Yuanxiu so clearly, but since An Yuanxiu met for the first time, he knew that he was going to hide his identity, so he should also know who he was, but until now An Yuanxiu has acted as if he didn't remember himself at all.

Deng Linyuan was stunned for a while, and finally came back to his senses in Zhu Feilu's obviously more and more collapsed expression, he hurriedly half-hugged Zhu Feilu and patted the other party's back in distress, just like Zhu Feilu did to him just now.

Zhu Feilu relieved himself for a while in Deng Linyuan's silent comfort, and was finally able to tell Deng Linyuan the cause and effect of all this.

"Our family has been deliberately hiding my existence from the outside world, you know?" Seeing that Deng Linyuan nodded, Zhu Feilu continued.

"Although I have an older sister and brother who don't have to worry too much about the metaphysical world, our family doesn't need to hide me completely like now, all because of an incident 11 years ago."

Although Deng Linyuan knew Zhu Feilu in high school, and knew that the Zhu family was trying to hide him from the first acquaintance, he never mentioned the reason for this.

Now listening to Zhu Feilu to tell him everything frankly, Deng Linyuan suddenly became a little nervous, just like his father told him about the existence of the metaphysical world for the first time, another door in the metaphysical world that is not known to the world is now about to open......

Zhu Feilu exhaled heavily for the last time and slowly spoke.

"Actually, An Yuanxiu and I met 11 years ago."

[11 years ago - 58 years of the Xuan calendar]

[In September, it was still hot in Beicheng, and there was no trace of autumn at all.

The old house of the An family changed from its usual solemn and cold day this day, because of the birthday of An Changye, the head of the An family and the person who is also the speaker of the Metaphysical Society, most of the figures with heads and faces of the Metaphysical Society have gathered here.

The metaphysical family is proud to be able to come to the birthday banquet of the old man, and the ordinary family is also proud of it. As a metaphysical conversationor, in order to show the "equal treatment" of talents, An Jia also invited some powerful and regular people to come to the banquet.

Unlike the vast majority of families who came to the banquet, the Zhu family and the Cen family, who were married to the Zhu family, were even more frightened than excited when they learned that they had been invited to this banquet.

The Zhu family was originally an ordinary charm family, until the previous head of the family, Zhu Weili, took over, and they all followed the principle of "the Zhu family only wants to survive and pass on in the metaphysical world", so the Zhu family's status in the metaphysical world has not been up or down.

In addition, Zhu Weili himself is also a gentle temperament, although the charm family in the metaphysical world is declining as a whole, and the current charm representative family is also selected by the general among the short people, but even if he has any ambitions, it is difficult to do it with the current strength of the Zhu family.

So Zhu Weili has been trying to do things steadily and carefully for more than ten years since he took over.

But probably Zhu Jiahe should rise, in the 20th year of the Xuanli calendar, Zhu Weili's eldest son Zhu Lize was born, and two years later there was a second son Zhu Laishu.

Zhu Weili's two sons have shown a strong talent in charms since they were young, especially the eldest son Zhu Laize, not only is he talented in charms, but he is not far behind in terms of formation compared with the Yi family in formation, although Zhu Laishu is not as talented as the eldest brother, but he is diligent so he can also keep up with the footsteps of the eldest brother.

In the 40th year of the Xuanli calendar, the two of them became famous in the 5-year group meeting of the Metaphysical Society because of their outstanding strength, but because of the overall downturn of the Zhu family, the status of the two in the metaphysical world is only "strong young people", which cannot drive the rise of the entire Zhu family.

Seeing that his two sons are getting better and better and more thoughtful, and the eldest son is even more stable and self-controlled, Zhu Weili feels that the current Zhu family has dragged down his two sons, so he made a decision that shocked the metaphysical world after a long night with his two sons on one night 3 years ago (55 years of the Xuan calendar).

Zhu Weili, who was only 57 years old, decided to pass on the position of head of the family to his eldest son Zhu Laize, who suddenly became the youngest head of the family in the metaphysical world, and also one of the strongest individuals in the generation of young and middle-aged people.

The Zhu family has attracted much attention in the metaphysical community because of this change, but many people have a wait-and-see attitude towards the future development of the Zhu family.

After all, the Zhu family's family background is not deep, although it is Cen Jingyun, the eldest lady of the Lingzhi family, who married Zhu Laize, but in the metaphysical world where the family strength is above the personal strength, the "weakness" of the Zhu family itself is the original sin.

But Zhu Lize and Zhu Laishu brothers were very competitive, understanding that the strength of the Zhu family was not deep enough, and began to recruit and cultivate young talents.

Not to mention the Zhu family's own family, the young people of the foreign family, and the next generation, as long as other powerful individuals or spell families are willing to come to study the charm, they will not refuse to come, and they will cultivate outsiders and the seedlings selected by their own families.

In the past 3 years, the strength of the Zhu family has increased rapidly, and even if many families are not clearly attached to the Zhu family, they are biased towards them in their hearts, and many families have a sense of crisis because of this.

So in the 58th year of the Xuanli calendar, since the rules were set in the 10th year of the Xuanli calendar, the 12-year general change of the metaphysical world is coming, and some people have pushed the Zhu family to the forefront, and for a while, the Zhu family is "too ambitious", "recruiting talents to subvert the metaphysical society", and "buying people's hearts and forming a party" are all in the dust.

Although An Changye was a little assertive and arrogant, he didn't think that the Zhu family's "small fight" would cause any threat, but there were too many people who came to accuse the Zhu family, and in order to show the fairness of the speaker, he still ordered the Zhu family to be strictly supervised.

At An Changye's birthday banquet this time, he was coaxed by a group of people to send an invitation to the Zhu family to the banquet.

After receiving the invitation, the Zhu family and the Cen family were worried, in recent days, the pressure exerted on them by the Metaphysical Society is not insignificant, and it is definitely not a good thing to be invited to Anjia's banquet when there are still 3 months before the general election.

What's more, the invitation also clearly stated that he wanted to wish Lai Ze and his wife to bring a child to the banquet with An Laishu. This almost holds the backbone of the Zhu family in his hands, and also pulls the child as a "hostage" to ensure that the Zhu family will not act rashly.

Although he knew that this banquet was a Hongmen banquet, if he refused to attend at this time, the situation of the Zhu family would immediately fall into a dangerous situation, so it was better to go to the banquet as required first, and then seek a chance to be flexible.

Zhu Lize and his wife have three children, the eldest daughter Zhu Feiran is only 13 years old, but she has already shown a strong talent inherited from her parents, although she is not so strong in terms of charms, she is also very good compared to her peers, not to mention that she also has her mother's genetics, and she also has a strong talent in spiritual healing. Fearing that their daughter would be in danger, the two chose not to take her to the banquet.

The second son, Zhu Feiwang, is the actual grandson of the Zhu family, and his sister is only two years apart, and he has been very naughty since he was a child, although he has a very strong talent for spells, he is still young and only likes to play. But after all, he is also the eldest grandson, and Zhu Lize and his wife did not dare to take him to such a dangerous banquet.

Zhu Cen's two families discussed for a long time, and finally decided to bring their 8-year-old son Zhu Feilu to the banquet.

Because Zhu Feilu is the youngest of the three children, he has been favored by the family since birth, and the eldest Yuxue is most cute like his mother Cen Jingyun, especially the pair of smiling eyes, as long as he sees Zhu Feilu, a small group with crooked and smiling eyes, no one can resist the unconsciously love for Zhu Feilu, so Zhu Feilu has always been the treasure of the Zhu family.

The sensible Zhu Feiran heard that the third brother was going to be taken to the banquet, and immediately took the initiative to ask to take her not to take her younger brother.

But Zhu Laize's consideration is that Zhu Feilu is still young and rarely shows up, and it seems that his talent in charms is the weakest of the three children, and he is not very interested in spiritual governance, except for the sensitivity of the five senses that are different from ordinary people, he is the most inconspicuous among the three children, so it is the safest to take him to the banquet.

There is no other way, even if the family is distressed, taking Zhu Feilu to the banquet is already the best choice.

On September 6, several members of the Zhu family came to An's old house in apprehension. Not surprisingly, Zhu Lize and several people became the focus as soon as they appeared.

In the past three years, although the two Zhu Lize brothers have recruited a lot of talents, most of them are small families and regular people, and few can come to participate in the banquet, so there are few who come up to take the initiative to befriend them at this time, and more are watching the excitement on the sidelines.

An Changye saw the Zhu family present under the reminder of the waiter, and was very satisfied with the Zhu family's acquaintance as required, so according to the original seating arrangement, the waiter led the Zhu family to the main seat of two tables away from the main table.

The people around were a little surprised to see the seats arranged by the Zhu family, and they thought that An Changye would definitely embarrass the Zhu family, but they didn't expect to put them in such a position of importance.

For a while, everyone began to make small calculations in their hearts, some of them immediately went to talk to the Zhu family, and some of the more cautious people thought that An Changye would not be so simple, and still held a wait-and-see attitude in order to see the situation clearly.

It didn't take long for this greeting to have ghosts, and the housekeeper announced the official banquet.

Everyone made a fuss and let An Changye say some opening words, and the feast officially began. All of a sudden, there was an endless stream of toasters at the main table of Anjia.

Several members of the Zhu family have been apprehensive since the beginning of the banquet, but the An family has not said anything for a long time, and several people can only wait and watch the changes with their hearts, and have no intention of feasting.

Only Zhu Feilu, who was unaware of the anxiety of adults, was happily eating the dishes that his mother had put in a small bowl for him at this time, and looked around curiously while eating.

With a keen sense of the five senses, he first stared at the charm used for soundproofing on the courtyard wall for a while, and after finding that the charm would automatically follow the transmission of sound waves without wind, he squeaked and laughed for a while before losing interest in continuing to observe, and turned to look at interesting things elsewhere.

Zhu Feilu looked at it for a while and found that the people around him were staring at his family as if they were nothing, and in the direction of the old man's table who was surrounded by many people not far away, and grabbed the sight of a peek at his parents, Zhu Feilu suddenly noticed a good-looking little brother next to him.

The little brother's ink-colored forehead hair lined his face with a whiter face like jade, his good-looking peach blossom eyes hung down, one hand on his cheek and the other hand playing with the small wine cup in his hand, the noise around him could not disturb him at all, and the whole person exuded an innate cold and noble temperament.

Zhu Feilu was attracted by the other party's temperament, and unconsciously stared at the little brother into a trance, at this time, the little brother suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at the noisy center around him, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled when he retracted his gaze, and suddenly looked at Zhu Feilu when he turned his gaze back.

Zhu Feilu was nervously motionless, but the moment he looked at each other, his eyes lit up betrayed his joy. He didn't care about his mother's advice to "don't keep staring at others and being rude", and still stared at each other, who knew that the other party was smiling even happier, and a pair of peach blossom eyes seemed to be able to hook people's souls.

Seeing the other party's good-looking smile, Zhu Feilu pressed his heart with both hands to soothe his heart that was beating too fast, and his face turned even redder. In the end, he couldn't resist looking away.

Zhu Feilu calmed down for a moment and still couldn't help but want to look at the other party again, but when he turned his gaze back, the other party was no longer in position. Zhu Feilu looked around a little anxiously, and finally saw the little brother walking towards the backyard in the crowd.

It just so happened that the banquet was almost at the end at this time, An Changye got up and beckoned the heads of each family to enter the inner hall to rest and deliberate, and specially pointed out that the Zhu brothers and Mrs. Zhu came together, and the Zhu family instantly became nervous.

Zhu Feilu didn't care about his parents' nervousness, he just wanted to catch up with the little brother just now, so he slipped out of his seat after telling Cen Jingyun that he was going to the toilet, and ran through the crowd towards the backyard.

Cen Jingyun saw Zhu Feilu running away and was anxious to chase after him, but before he could stand up, he was stopped by Zhu Laize, Zhu Lize shook his head and signaled not to chase, Cen Jingyun calmed down and remembered that several of them were going to enter the inner hall next, and it might be safer for Zhu Feilu not to come in outside.

She put her hand in her pocket and grasped a charm, which was the child of the talisman mother and child talisman that Zhu Lize put on Zhu Feilu before leaving, once Zhu Feilu had an accident, this sub-talisman would spontaneously combust, and it would show the location and status of the mother talisman holder.

Glancing at the direction in which Zhu Feilu ran away, Cen Jingyun followed Zhu Lize and the two into the inner hall, and after all the people who came to the banquet arrived, the waiter walked out of the inner hall and closed the door from the outside. 】

"I don't know what happened after they entered the inner hall that day, and when I asked my mother later, they didn't tell me in detail. I was just chasing the little brother and following the direction he left into the inner courtyard of An's house. ”

Zhu Feilu said that the car had arrived downstairs in the school's dormitory, and Zhu Feilu beckoned Deng Linyuan, who was attentive, to get out of the car, and the two continued to talk while walking.

"Maybe the An family has orders to follow me secretly, maybe they are very confident in their own strength, I actually chased An Yuanxiu to the back garden without hindrance, but I couldn't find him when I entered the garden."

Zhu Feilu walked in front and walked up the stairs, Deng Linyuan could only hear his somewhat nostalgic tone when he said this, and he couldn't see the other party's expression.

"An's garden was huge, with a lot of trees and all of them were so dense that I soon got lost in the woods."

"Just when I finally found out that I was lost...... Zhu Feilu walked to the door of their dormitory, opened the door and didn't go in, but turned to face Deng Linyuan, the backlight made Deng Linyuan still unable to see his expression.

"And because I couldn't find him, I was about to cry, when suddenly there was a chuckle above my head, and then from above came a clear male voice that I had never heard before, but it was very nice."

"He called me 'Hey, little dumpling.'"
