Chapter 39: Top Secret

At first listen, the Presbyterian Church originally thought that Lu Bo had some rare ideas this time. And when they heard the last two sentences, they all sneered in their hearts - no matter how high-sounding Lu Bo is, it turns out that he is still doing things for Lu Qing!

Everyone knows that Lu Qing's son Lu Wenbin is also Xiao Zhou Tian in sight, and it is estimated that the Council of Elders will have one more young elder in a few days, which is also very rare. But when it comes to "Zhongzhou Martial Academy", it's different. The initial examination of Zhongwu is actually more important than most people think, and the top ten will generally become the focus of the disciples of the powerful.

There are so many geniuses who want to take the martial arts exam, and the exam is not just based on cultivation, it is still too difficult for Lu Wenbin to rank at the top among countless geniuses. The only thing that can make Lu Wenbin have a huge improvement is the drunken white pool in the back mountain.

But according to the rules, the elders only have more than five years of qualifications before they can know and enter the drunken white pool, and at that time, Zhongwu's exam has already passed. Lu Qing wanted his son to get the benefits of Drunken Baichi as soon as possible, but Lu Wenbin's qualifications alone were not qualified to make an exception, so Tuo Lu Bo used Lu Qiming's name to talk about Drunken Baichi. The particularity of the drunken white pool determines that if Lu Qiming and Lu Wenbin enter the drunken white pool together, it will definitely be Lu Wenbin who will get more benefits!

Lu Qiming couldn't help but wonder, although he didn't know about the drunken white pool, he naturally could hear Lu Bo's purpose. However, he didn't care, Xiao Zhoutian's cultivation coupled with the harvest not long ago gave him enough confidence. He listened calmly, observing with interest the expressions of the elders present.

At this time, Lu Qiming noticed a gaze, and he looked over - it was Lu Zai. The eyes of the two of them touched away, and Lu Zai turned to sit quietly. And Lu Qiming's mental power was so keen, just in that moment, he read extremely complex emotions from that gaze.

Lu Qiming frowned slightly. He already knew that Lu Zai had nothing to do with the assassination of the last twilight journey, but he couldn't think of why Lu Zai's gaze at him contained disgust, hesitation, and worry at the same time - such emotions were by no means as simple as worrying about Lu Qiming exposing him.

Lu Zai's complicated gaze made the suspicion in Lu Qiming's heart a little deeper. Lu Qiming knew that Lu Zai had always disliked him, but this dislike was far from the point of killing him. What's more, although Lu Zai has a mediocre personality and no great talent, he is still the first heir of the Lu family at present, and there is no reason to tell outsiders the secrets of the Lu family's martial arts just to kill him. You know, treason is far more serious than cannibalism.

Lu Qiming was frowning and pondering, but saw Lu Zai suddenly raise his head, struggled for a moment, and said, "I am against it!"

The hall of elders fell silent all of a sudden, and everyone's eyes were on Lu Zai, and they were very surprised-they expected that there would definitely be someone who opposed it, but they didn't expect that the person who opposed it would be Lu Qiming's uncle, Lu Zai! Even if this matter helped Lu Qing's son Lu Wenbin, after all, it was also good for Lu Qiming. Besides, isn't Lu Zai's own son Lu Jincheng also in retreat and impacting Xiao Zhoutian? Could it be that Lu Zai has so little confidence in his son......

For a while, everyone's gaze at Lu Zai was a little more weird.

Lu Qiming's eyes were a little more thoughtful -- Although Lu Zai could not be regarded as an outstanding person in the city, he was by no means a fool, so how could he show the contradictions so obviously and harm others and himself? What did he know that would make him so abnormal? Lu Qiming repeatedly thought about the connection between many recent events in his heart, trying to find out the key from them.

Lu Xingzhi, who was sitting on the top, looked at Lu Zai for a long time, but found that Lu Zai, who had always been afraid of him, never bowed his head and compromised this time. Lu Xingzhi narrowed his eyes and asked in a calm tone, "Reason?"

As soon as Lu Xingzhi's words came out, the elders with lively minds heard that the head of the family clearly agreed with this proposal!

Lu Zai glanced at Lu Qiming again, hesitated again, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "The rules cannot be abolished!"

Lu Xingzhi pondered for a moment, nodded, and was about to speak.

"The rules are not set by people?" The Great Elder Lu Yuankong saw that the atmosphere was a little condensed, and he snorted loudly, and said with a smile: "It's better to do this, compromise - this matter of drunken Baichi, just tell Qiming and Wen Bin that it's okay for the two of them, they are all our relatives and grandchildren, isn't it all a matter of time or time!"

Lu Yuankong's words made the atmosphere lively, and everyone couldn't help but laugh secretly - the Great Elder also admitted that he was honest, and directly added his grandson!

After a pause, Lu Yuankong said again: "However, when entering the drunken white pool, I suggest that you take it slow first, at least don't let them in before the clan competition, otherwise it will be unfair to the other children who participate in the clan competition." Moreover, I am afraid that it will arouse the attention of other families......"

Hearing this, most of the elders couldn't help but nod in agreement.

In the end, under the joint promotion of people with different positions in the past, this matter of changing the rules was successfully passed with a rare high approval rate, which made many elders secretly surprised. And Lu Zai's weak opposition was lonely, and after he saw that he couldn't do anything, he could only sigh and say no more.

The head of the family, Lu Xingzhi, pressed his hands, signaled everyone to be quiet, glanced at Lu Zai, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, follow the proposal of the Great Elder." He turned his gaze to Lu Yuankong and said, "Yuankong, you come along." ”

Lu Yuankong nodded, and said with a smile: "It's time for me to be verbose again." He paused, and said solemnly: "Qiming, what I am talking about below is the most important secret of our Lu clan, you must be very careful, you must not let outsiders know!"

"Everyone knows that the initial cultivation mainly relied on physical qualifications, but after that, we paid more and more attention to the state of gravity and the perception of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Lu Yuankong first said a cliché, and then said solemnly: "And the drunken white pool is a treasure that can improve the mood and improve the understanding!"

Lu Qiming's eyes froze, and his heart became even more solemn - from the manuscript left to him by his mother, this kind of treasure land, even in the Divine Domain, is extremely rare! Is there such a treasure land hidden in the back mountain of the Lu family?

"The water of the Drunken White Pond is very peculiar, and only the outermost water is more effective than the best heart-purifying potion. And the most central pool water, after taking it, you can trace all the experiences from birth to the present, as if you have lived again. And this kind of retrospection is different from memory, it is a kind of overlook that borrows strength to stand on a very high place. The benefits are beyond words......"

Lu Yuankong said, his expression was a little more aftertaste, as if he was missing that feeling. And the other elders all had a similar reaction, and their hearts were full of yearning - after all, the elders only had one chance to enter for free, and if they wanted to enter again in the future, they would need to make a great contribution to the family.

Lu Yuankong came back to his senses and smiled a little embarrassedly: "However, because of this feature, it is true that the more experience you have, the more benefits you get......"

The elders couldn't help but smile silently - everyone knew that Lu Wenbin was older than Lu Qiming......

"Alright, let's get down to business. Lu Yuankong coughed lightly, and continued: "The Drunken White Pool's help to our Lu clan is immeasurable, and the reason why we have quickly recovered from the decline of more than three hundred years ago to our current status is because of this Drunken White Pool. ”

"And the reason for absolute secrecy is related to the Divine Domain!" Lu Yuankong's tone was slightly solemn, "This effect of the Drunken White Pool is exactly what the great forces of the Divine Domain have been looking for! ”

Lu Qiming understood why the Lu family was increasingly rejecting people with foreign surnames - in other families, people with foreign surnames could also become elders.

"So, Qiming, you must be careful and careful, and you must not let others know the slightest bit about the drunken white pool!" Lu Yuankong emphasized again and again. After all, if the forces in the Divine Domain really knew the rumors, even the lowest forces in the Divine Domain would be a catastrophe for the Lu Clan.

Lu Qiming nodded seriously, and said yes. But in his heart, he thought that he must not let others know that his mother Feng Lingru was a person from the Divine Domain. Lu Qiming knew that his mother's true cultivation was only clear to his father and himself, and even his grandfather was hidden.

Even if this article was revealed, the presbyterian congregation then determined the relevant matters of this clan competition according to the usual procedure, as well as the banquet and placement of people from other families. There are few empty words in the meeting, most of them are efficient and direct, and people don't feel boring and boring. Lu Qiming listened silently on the side, and he also understood a little.

The meeting went quickly, and in a short time everything was finalized. Lu Qiming walked out of the Hall of Elders after everyone, looking at the sky and squinting slightly—noon was approaching, the sun was shining, and it was a good day.
