It was dark.

Lu Qiming didn't have the leisure to play dumb riddles with him, and frowned: "If you have something to say, say it directly!"

"If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you don't do it!" Lu Zai sneered and said in a low voice: "You quit the clan competition tomorrow, and leave quickly." For Cheng'er and Qiqi's sake, I don't know. ”

Lu Qiming only felt that he was inexplicable, and his eyes turned cold, "Uncle, don't you think it's ridiculous to say this, uncle? Who would rather leak family secrets than kill me?"

"What are you talking about?!" Lu Zai was stunned, and then said angrily: "I was soft-hearted for a while, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious!"

Lu Qiming saw that his anger did not seem to be fake, but immediately calmed down. Seeing Lu Zai's subordinates hurrying over not far away, Lu Qiming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked directly at Lu Zai and said quickly: "Uncle, you and I must have a misunderstanding, this matter is very important, please make it clear!"

At this time, the subordinate had already approached, glanced at Lu Qiming, and handed Lu Zai a note with a code word with a solemn expression.

When Lu Zai saw it, his face changed greatly, and he only dropped the sentence "It's good to do it yourself", and then turned around and left.

The dispute between the two has attracted the attention of others, and it is impossible to pull and pull in front of the public.

Lu Qiming looked at his back silently, turned around and walked towards Lu Xingzhi's Dafang Garden.

......

Lu Zai hurried out all the way, went straight out of the Lu Mansion, and walked into the dark mountains and forests.

While walking, Lu Zai asked his subordinates with a gloomy face, "Lu Qing, what has he been doing for so long?!!

There was no answer.

Lu Zai was taken aback, Huo Ran turned around, and saw a scene that he would never forget-

I saw that the facial features of the subordinate were rapidly distorted, and the eyes and nose were all melted together, and then his body also softened, elongated and thinner as if he had lost his bones, and finally his whole body seemed to melt, and he couldn't tell anything!

Lu Zai froze in horror, watching a person dissipate in the air like this, and cold sweat instantly soaked through his clothes.

A chuckle suddenly sounded in his ears: "Fun, isn't it?"

Lu Zai slowly turned around, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

Not far away was a man in a cloak, and his feet were dangling!

Big Sunday!

Lu Zai only felt a flower in front of him, and the cloaked man appeared in front of him, Lu Zai held his breath and did not dare to move.

The cloaked man looked at him closely, and seemed to be in a good mood, and was casually humming a little song.

Lu Zai's strange feeling gradually expanded, and he vaguely felt that the figure and voice of the cloaked man were somewhat familiar......

Without warning, the cloaked man suddenly lifted his cloak, and his face was immediately revealed in front of Lu Zai's eyes!

Lu Zai's expression changed drastically in an instant, and he blurted out: "Lu-" And the next moment, he covered his throat in shock--he couldn't make a sound!

However, the aphasia could not shake him out of his shock, and he stared at the cloaked man with a whimper like a sleepy beast in his throat.

Seeing Lu Zai's reaction, the cloaked man immediately burst out laughing.

He looked at Lu Zai and smiled peacefully: "Don't worry, I won't kill you." ”

"But get some sleep. ”

......

The scent of sandalwood is far away, and the study is brightly lit; there are only two people.

Lu Xingzhi listened, and repeated in a deep voice: "Black Kill knows the breaking method of Yue Shan's finger?!" Hearing that Black Kill knew the mechanism in Lu Qiming's twilight courtyard before, he didn't react, but Yue Shan pointed out that it was different, this was already a martial art at the level of Xiao Zhou Tian.

Lu Qiming's heart sank -- he never expected that Lu Xingzhi didn't even know about it! He didn't say the details of that day before because he believed that Lu Xingzhi had control over the overall situation......

This is too unusual.

Lu Xingzhi did not appear much on weekdays, but his deterrent power among the clan has never diminished by a point - Lu Xingzhi's generation was the most fierce and unforgiving period in the history of the Lu clan; at that time, Lu Xingzhi was not even a descendant, but he was able to sit firmly in the position of the head of the family and protect his younger brother Lu Yuankong as the great elder, and his methods were fierce and fierce, which can be imagined.

Over the years, Lu Xingzhi has never made a mistake in controlling the family, and has led the family to become stronger and stronger, and can be said to be one of the most powerful family heads in history - even if he is obviously biased in Lu Qiming, the rest of the people dare not speak out; even if a few "people above" dare to raise their dissatisfaction, in fact, it is just lip service.

However, this time, there was something that even Lu Xingzhi had concealed, which was really contrary to common sense.

Lu Xingzhi was silent for a moment and said, "You continue." ”

After that, everything was known, and Lu Qiming repeated the details of the conversation with Lu Zai not long ago.

Lu Xingzhi's brows tightened, and he immediately sent Lu Huaifang over.

Lu Huaifang was originally a foreigner, but was later given the surname "Lu"; he had been by Lu Xingzhi's side for nearly 40 years, and he was Lu Xingzhi's most powerful right and left hand.

When Lu Qiming saw him come in, he bowed slightly and said, "Uncle Fang." "Lu Huaifang can be regarded as half of Lu Qiming's teacher.

Lu Xingzhi waved his hand to show that there was no need to be polite, and said in a deep voice: "Huai Fang, you bring Lu Zai over to see me immediately, no matter what he is doing!"

Lu Huaifang saw that his expression was wrong, so he simply hugged his fists, nodded to Lu Qiming and went out.

The two of them fell silent for a moment.

"Qiming," Lu Xingzhi said lightly, unable to see his emotions, "You tell me first, why do you think Lu Zai said that about you?"

Lu Qiming said calmly: "The only possibility I can think of is my mother." "Now is not the time to hide it, and besides, Lu Qiming does not think that there is a need to hide this matter.

Lu Xingdao: "Oh?"

Lu Qiming continued: "Although my mother never told me directly, from what she left me, I think she was once a person in the Divine Domain. ”

Lu Xingzhi: "I know this. ”

Lu Qiming raised his eyebrows.

"She told me herself, and I know that she is a practitioner of the Lesser Mystery Realm. A hint of disgust flashed in Lu Xingzhi's eyes, and he said indifferently: "It's not because of her." In order to marry Zhan'er, she was removed from the family in her divine domain. ”

Lu Qiming clenched his fists silently -- he had never heard of this before.

For a while, Lu Qiming's heart was full of feelings, both worried and worried, and couldn't help but feel a trace of bitterness: "How many things are there that I don't know?

Lu Xingzhi asked again: "What other possibility can you think of besides her? Don't hide it from me." ”

Lu Qiming suddenly felt a little tired in his heart, and said in a low voice: "No." ”

Lu Xingzhi followed him in silence for a while, and suddenly said, "Qiming, let me ask you, if someone doubts that you betrayed the family, how can you break the situation, how can you prove yourself?"

The answer to this question is often a paradox.

How do you convince hostile people to believe in yourself, how do you prove that appearances are just appearances, how do you change your conclusions, how do you prove that you are not traitors?

Many people have thought about this question, but when they think about it, it seems that it is always difficult to take care of it.

Lu Qiming smiled and said sarcastically: "Why do you need to prove it?"

Lu Xingzhi is not surprised. He knew that his grandson looked mild, but on the inside he was extremely tough, and that he had his own set of rules in his heart, but he was outside of the world.

Lu Xingzhi sighed: "It's your answer, but it's too much." He paused, and then said, "Do you know what I'm going to do?"

Lu Qiming said softly: "There is no need to prove yourself, it is enough to confirm that the 'framer' is a traitor." ”

Lu Xingzhi didn't say anything, only smiled. He took out something and handed it to Lu Qiming—it was the flying scroll from the auction.

He didn't say anything more, but said, "Go back." I'm tired today, so get some rest. ”

......

Another courtyard in Lu Mansion.

Great Elder Lu Yuankong was drinking tea alone, but when he looked up, he saw Lu Qing sneaking in, and said with a blank face: "Qing'er, what are you doing again?"

Lu Qing smiled, sat on the stone bench next to Lu Yuankong, and said in a low voice: "Dad, I just saw that Lu Zai actually took the initiative to find that kid, he won't temporarily regret it and ruin our business, right?"

"What 'repentance'? What 'bad thing'?" Lu Yuankong frowned, "What do you know!

Lu Qing sneered and whispered, "Dad, don't I want to help?

"What nonsense!" Lu Yuankong slammed the table and said angrily: "How can I have such an unfilial son as you!" I, Lu Yuankong, am dedicated to the family, do things uprightly, and never do such a frame-up thing, why am I afraid that people will find out, how can I be unlucky?!"

Lu Qing was immediately silenced, but he was ashamed in his heart - "You are still hiding it from me?" Okay, I'll go back and ask Wen Bin!"

Lu Yuankong waved his hand impatiently, only to feel that today's good mood had been ruined by him.

Seeing Lu Qing walk to the door, he remembered something again, and reprimanded: "Wen Bin is going to compete tomorrow, don't bother him! ”
