"Hey, Uncle Bai, why are you here?" Lu Ping'an did not go to the main gate, but jumped over the wall into the courtyard.

He looked around and saw a simple but clean incense table in the middle of the courtyard, on which were placed the tablets of his parents who had just been invited.

And the old man kneeling in front of the incense case was Bai Bo, the former housekeeper of Lu Ping'an's family.

What surprised Lu Ping'an was that after he woke up, he had given Bai Bo enough silver taels to let him go to his hometown outside the city to retire.

But looking at the appearance of all parts of the courtyard, during this time, Bai Bo should have been guarding this old mansion.

Bai Bo is an ordinary person with no blood inheritance, and he is already old this year, and his legs and feet are inconvenient.

In the realm where Lu Ping'an lost power, the old man was in danger of being beaten to death by the clan's sons and daughters at any time as a punching bag.

Thinking of this, Lu Ping'an's heart couldn't help but feel guilty, he had been busy cultivating, and he didn't know that Bai Bo was here alone. But at the same time, he felt a trace of warmth, although the Tianyuan Continent is a place that lacks human touch, this does not mean that there are no good people.

Whether it is Lu Linglong or Bai Bo, these are people worthy of Lu Ping'an's cherishment.

"Huh......? Young Master, is it really you?" Seeing Lu Ping'an appear, Bai Bo was startled and almost sat down on the ground.

"Hahaha, of course it's me. Lu Ping'an stepped forward to support the old man, and replied with a chuckle, "Uncle Bai, thank you for your hard work." ”

"No, it's not hard, it's not hard at all!"

Bai Bo wiped his tears and sobbed, and said intermittently, "Young master, I'm sorry, it's not that Bai Bo wants to hide it from you, it's just that I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I will affect you, but I don't want to leave the Lu family......"

"Uncle Bai, it's okay, I'm fine now. Lu Ping'an patted his chest vigorously and said.

Although this old and young man have a master-servant relationship, Lu Ping'an has already regarded Bai Bo as his relative.

Knock knock knock......

"Uncle Bai, are you at home?"

Lu Ping'an was about to take his luggage back to the room to tidy up, when he heard a knock outside the door.

"Linglong?"

Hearing that it was Lu Linglong calling the door, Lu Ping'an frowned slightly, he didn't expect his cousin to come to their old house.

"Linglong is a good boy, I told her not to tell you I was here. Thanks to her frequent deliveries, the old slave might not have survived this winter. Bai Bo said with a kind face.

Lu Linglong's parents died early, and her grandfather Lu Songmeng was a martial arts idiot who lacked the care of his relatives since he was a child.

Before Lu Ping'an's family had an accident, Lu Linglong often came to this small courtyard to play with Lu Ping'an, and her relationship with the old housekeeper Bai Bo was also very deep.

It is precisely because of her that the minions in the Lu Mansion who bully the weak and are afraid of the hard do not dare to make things difficult for the old man.

"Uncle Bai, are there any guests at home?"

Lu Linglong, who was standing outside the courtyard, vaguely heard the conversation between Bai Bo and Lu Ping'an, and continued to knock on the door and ask.

"It's coming, don't worry. Bai Bo answered, got up and went to the gate of the courtyard to open the door.

The old man was a little strange, Lu Ping'an became a little nervous when he heard Lu Linglong's call to the door just now, which had never been done before.

But after thinking about it, the old man was relieved, after all, the young master had reached the age of youth and ignorance.

"Uncle Bai, who's coming?" Lu Linglong asked, standing on tiptoe and looking into the courtyard.

Coincidentally, Lu Ping'an also turned his head at this time, and at this moment, the brother and sister looked at each other.

Seeing Lu Ping'an standing in the courtyard completely, his face was ruddy, without a trace of haggardness, and the little girl's eyes instantly moistened.

"Woooooooooo......oo Brother Ping'an, where have you been?" Lu Linglong threw herself into Lu Ping'an's arms and cried.

Lu Ping'an disappeared from the Lu family, and others didn't care, but Lu Linglong knew it.

But she didn't dare to ask anyone else.

In this way, she waited and waited, but she didn't wait for Lu Ping'an to come back.

The second day was the same, and the third day was the same.

Slowly, Lu Linglong began to wonder if Lu Ping'an was dead.

Every time she thought of this possibility, Lu Linglong was terribly afraid.

It was only at this point that the stone hanging in her heart fell to the ground.

"Don't cry, Linglong, brother, isn't it good. Lu Ping'an gently stroked Lu Linglong's forehead and comforted.

"Brother Ping'an, grandpa is going out of the customs tonight, let's go to the island in the middle of the lake now, and let him administer justice to you!" Lu Linglong said, pulling Lu Ping'an's sleeve and going out.

"Forget it, Linglong, the head of the family is busy with affairs, and he can't delay tomorrow's bloodline test because of my own business. Lu Ping'an knew very well that for the sake of the overall situation, even if Lu Songmeng knew that he had been wronged, he would not do anything to Lu Tianwang.

"I don't care! Brother Ping'an is the genius of the Lu family, and your business is the biggest thing of the Lu family!" Lu Linglong pouted and said angrily.

"Go ahead, young master, you didn't make a mistake in the first place, Elder Tianwang clearly wronged you. Bai Bo also persuaded on the side.

Whether Lu Ping'an secretly practiced "Dragon Sparrow Shines on Nerves", the old man naturally knows better than anyone else.

For a cultivator, the pain and blow of being abolished from cultivation is incomparably great, second only to losing one's life or the death of a loved one, and this matter must not be left like this!

"Alas, okay, I'll do it. Lu Ping'an shook his head helplessly, he couldn't tell the truth now, so he had to reluctantly agree.

Taihe Lake, an island in the middle of the lake.

This is the retreat and cultivation place of the head of the Lu family, and the idle people are not allowed to approach, and there is usually only one personal attendant rowing a small boat to and from both sides of the strait, responsible for sending some food and clothing, and conveying the major events and resolutions of the clan on behalf of the family.

Today, however, the island in the middle of the lake is particularly lively.

Led by law enforcement elder Lu Tianwang, more than a dozen members of the fifteenth generation of the Lu family landed by boat and came to wait outside the cave on a hill on the island.

The entrance to the cave was covered by a delicately woven straw curtain, and Lu Songmeng, a personal attendant who was born deaf and dumb, was standing on the edge of the cave.

At this time, the sun is setting and the sky is getting dark, but the inside of the cave is faintly flashing with colorful brilliance, which looks mysterious and abnormal.

Finally, as a strong wind blew, the grass curtain blocking the entrance of the cave was blown up, and immediately after, a burly old man walked slowly out of the cave.

This person is the current head of the Lu family, Lu Songmeng, who has cultivated to reach the double level of the Yuan Martial Realm, the strongest person in the Lu family today!

Although the old man's face is slightly wrinkled, his white hair is tinged with blue and black, and he has returned to his roots!

In fact, Lu Songmeng is already one hundred and fifty-six years old this year, but for a Yuan Martial Realm cultivator who has lived for three hundred years, this age is nothing.

"Congratulations to the master of the family!"

"Congratulations to the master of the family for his great achievement!"

......

Seeing Lu Songmeng appear, Lu Tianwang immediately took the lead in saluting, and the others also echoed.

Lu Songmeng's face was indifferent, and he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I summoned everyone over today, mainly to meet with you, and arrange the bloodline test tomorrow." ”

"The head of the family, the Blood Spirit Monument has been arranged, and all the clans and branches have also sent people to inform them. Lu Tianwang stepped forward and said.

"Well, okay!" Lu Songmeng nodded with satisfaction, "Tianwang, thanks to you this year." ”

Before Lu Songmeng became the head of the family, he was not a descendant of the Lu family, and the purpose of his competition for the position of the head of the family back then was mainly to get the family heirloom to the Dragon Sparrow Knife, so he didn't care about the affairs of the clan.

Lu Tianwang can complete these trivial tasks for him, naturally it is the best.

"It is a nephew's honor to share the worries of the head of the family. Lu Tianwang replied respectfully, without any intention of inviting credit, "By the way, Qianqiu sent a flying pigeon message this morning, saying that he has arrived at the National Education Academy." ”

Write back to him, telling him to guard against arrogance and rashness, and not to get carried away. ”

As soon as he heard Lu Tianwang mention Lu Qianqiu, a trace of waves finally appeared on Lu Songmeng's ancient face.

Although he has never cared about the cultivation of the younger generation in the clan, Lu Qianqiu is an exception.

This young man's light is too dazzling, catching up with Lu Tianbo back then, and it will be a big help for him in the future.

"Grandpa!"

At this moment, a childish voice came from the surface of the lake.

Lu Songmeng turned his gaze and saw a small figure rocking the boat on the boat. It was the little granddaughter he hadn't seen for a year, and now he was getting more and more cute.

At this moment, a kind smile couldn't help but appear on Lu Songyin's face.

"Huh?"

However, the next moment, when he saw Lu Ping'an standing behind Lu Linglong, the smile on Lu Songmeng's face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a gloomy color.
