Chapter XXXVII
The dim light of the door made Lu Ziqi frown, although people who practice martial arts are not afraid to see things in the dark, she still likes a bright and open room. While looking around for the lamp, she asked, "Daddy, why don't you light the lamp?"
"Daddy just came back, too. Lu Zai looked at his daughter with a smile and said, "You don't need to order it, I have something to do in a while, and I'm about to go out." ”
"Huh?" Lu Ziqi stomped his feet in disappointment and pouted: "My brother just came back, and my mother finally cooked by herself, and I wanted to call my father to eat together......
"Your brother, Jincheng, he's out of the customs?" Lu Zai said in surprise, "How is it?"
"No, no, no, it's Brother Qiming. Lu Ziqi stuck out his tongue and said, "Big brother is still early from leaving the customs!"
"It's not a proper system! How can it be called like this?" Lu Zai frowned, but when he saw his daughter's aggrieved face, his voice became softer again, and he said seriously: "Qiming is your cousin, so you can call it 'cousin' well, so that outsiders will laugh when they hear it." ”
"I don't, I call my 'cousin' more students, besides, I have to distinguish myself from a bad guy like Lu Jun!" Lu Ziqi laughed.
"You......" Lu Zai looked at his daughter without temper, sighed for a while, and beckoned: "Qiqi, come here." ”
Lu Ziqi walked up to his father and looked at him with inquiring eyes.
"Qiqi, Daddy knows that you are kind and willing to trust others. Lu Zai took his daughter's hand and sighed: "However, people's minds are often more complicated than you think." ”
Lu Ziqi felt that something was wrong when he heard it, and said in a low voice: "Daddy, who are you talking about?"
Lu Zai sighed silently.
"Brother Qiming recruited you to provoke you, dad, how can you say that!" Lu Ziqi was indignant, stomped his feet and said, "I ignore you!" After speaking, she shook her hand and ran out of the house.
Lu Zai looked at his daughter's distant figure and shook his head, thinking about the bottle of blood in his heart, and the expression on his face was sometimes hesitant and sometimes flustered. After a long time, he muttered to himself in a low voice, "What the hell is going on......"
......
Not long after Lu Qiming returned to the inner room, the courtyard door outside was knocked again. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a pair of big watery eyes looking at him without blinking.
Lu Ziqi opened his arms and plunged into Lu Qiming's arms, sighing: "Brother, I want to kill you!"
Lu Qiming saw that her expression was not quite right, touched her hair, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
"It's not my father yet!" Lu Ziqi pouted and sighed: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!"
Lu Qiming.
"Don't talk about him. My mother cooked and called my brother to eat. Lu Ziqi blinked, and said jealously: "Alas, I don't know, I think I picked it up, and only by following my brother can I eat the food cooked by my mother!"
"Auntie, ......" Lu Qiming's eyes were soft. Lu Ziqi's mother, Lin Zhaoyu, was best friends with his mother Feng Lingru when she was in the Zhongzhou Martial Arts Academy. Lin Zhaoyu has treated him very well since he was a child, and he has been thinking of him all the time in the past three years, and he is the person Lu Qiming is truly grateful and loves in his heart.
Lu Qiming smiled and said, "It just so happens that I happened to get some complete Jiyue Spirit Grass this time, and I was about to send it to my aunt." ”
"Complete?" Lu Ziqi said happily, "My mother was still talking about the fact that there are too few types of flowers in the yard this afternoon, and it seems that the Jiyue Spirit Grass has really not been planted." ”
The two of them laughed and walked all the way through the long stone path, which was lit at regular intervals—it was night.
Passing by a tall bamboo forest, the scenery suddenly brightened, and I saw a bright light not far in front of me - it was the largest martial arts arena of the Lu family. Among them, men, women, and children, either studied martial arts alone, or fought against each other, or practiced the art of joint attack, and no one slacked off because of the night.
There are only a small number of people who can be seen in the martial arts arena, and there are many more people, some of whom are practicing the exercises in the ashram, some are in the pharmacy or instrument room, and some are practicing outside the arena day and night.
The Lu clan has been prosperous for thousands of years, and the number of clansmen has long been very large, and there are countless retainers with foreign surnames. There is only one way to obtain resources and even gain the attention of the clan—cultivation.
But there are exceptions.
When Lu Ziqi saw the martial arts field, he secretly screamed badly, and regretted that he didn't choose another way.
Sure enough, Lu Qiming paused, glanced at her, and asked, "Xiao Qi'er, why have you been a martial artist in the Six Realms for so long?"
Lu Ziqi's face stiffened, and he said pitifully: "Brother, I'm not you, it's very difficult for a martial artist to break the mirror!"
"Come less," Lu Qiming stared at her with a smile and asked, "How long have you not cultivated?"
"I ......" Lu Ziqi opened his mouth to argue, but gave up this useless move again, and said with a bitter face: "Alas, cultivation or something, it's really boring! Anyway, we have a brother in this vein, and you are on top, I am a girl, it doesn't matter......
Lu Qiming shook his head helplessly, and said, "There are a lot of people from the clan this time, do you want to lose to Lu Jun in front of everyone?"
"How is it possible!" Lu Ziqi disdainfully smiled evilly, "I have already thought about it, just break a realm the day before and happen to be a little taller than him, and I will be angry with him!"
Lu Qiming only looked at her and didn't speak.
Lu Ziqi's voice became smaller and smaller when he looked at him, and finally said aggrievedly: "I must have cultivated to a martial artist before the big competition, right?"
Lu Qiming smiled, continued to walk forward, and said, "Almost." ”
Lu Ziqi pursed his lips and quickly followed.
If the conversation between these two people is to be heard by outsiders, they will definitely laugh out loud -- how can a martial artist break it when he says it? But the two of them speak and listen to each other, both of them are extremely casual and have no doubts, and there is indeed a reason for this -- if you ask who is the most talented person in the Lu family, it is undoubtedly Lu Qiming; and the second in line is not Lu Jun and Lu Wenbin, not Lu Jincheng, the eldest grandson of the Lu family, but this girl who is only in the six realms of martial arts -- Lu Ziqi!
Lu Ziqi is a unique "three-lineage" physique. If it weren't for Lu Qiming's special case, the "three-line symbiosis" would already be the best physique that human beings have proven to exist from ancient times to the present.
Bing Xue is smart and talented, coupled with the background of her family's own granddaughter, as long as she works a little harder, I am afraid that she will already be famous in Zhongzhou. It's a pity that this girl has no interest in cultivation, and she can't endure a little hardship. Countless people urged hard, and only then did they reluctantly mix up a martial artist, making the people around them anxious.
......
The camphor tree in the courtyard is like a canopy, and the magnolia is fragrant, which is very quiet and quiet. The door of the attic opened gently, and out came a gentle woman in a lilac dress, who was Lu Ziqi's mother, Lin Zhaoyu. When she saw the two of them, she was overjoyed and beckoned, "It's back! It's cold outside, come in." ”
Lu Qiming and the others responded and stepped forward quickly.
The light in the room is warm and bright, and the furnishings are simple and elegant, just like Lin Zhaoyu. She carefully looked at Lu Qiming through the light, nodded with relief: "Yes, when I came back this time, my face looked much better!"
Lu Qiming smiled slightly and said, "It's really good luck to go to the twilight this time, so you don't have to worry about that problem during this time." ”
"Okay, okay," Lin Zhaoyu had a touch of excitement on his face, took Lu Qiming's hand, and said with a smile: "Patronizing it, don't delay eating." The temperature of the meal is just right!"
Lin Zhaoyu's Lin family started as a business house, and the most exquisite family at this level is the most exquisite, and the daughters of the Lin family are even more famous for their virtue, and they are the most favorite daughters-in-law among the elders of all clans. Although Lin Zhaoyu does not cook often, his cooking skills are first-class. The four dishes and one soup are full of color and flavor, which makes people appetizing.
Lu Ziqi was eating, suddenly thought of something, looked at Lu Qiming, and said softly: "Brother, I heard that it seems that Cousin Wen Bin is also preparing to attack Xiao Zhoutian." ”
Lin Zhaoyu glanced at Lu Qiming with some concern, and stopped talking.
Lu Qiming nodded and said calmly: "He just went to look for me, and he is indeed only one line away from Xiao Zhoutian." ”
"He's going to find his brother?" Lu Ziqi said curiously, and immediately reacted, and said with a smile: "I know, he must have brought Lu Jun to apologize to your brother again! Hey, if it weren't for the fact that Cousin Wen Bin and Lu Jun looked so similar, I really couldn't believe that the two of them were brothers......
"What nonsense," Lin Zhaoyu glared at Lu Ziqi with slight disgust, looked at Lu Qiming and smiled: "Don't you want to congratulate your brother?"
Lu Ziqi was slightly stunned, but his eyes widened in surprise, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother, have you succeeded?" Lu Qiming can clearly see Lu Wenbin's cultivation, which proves that his cultivation is higher than Lu Wenbin!
Lu Qiming smiled and nodded.
"This, this is really good!" Lu Ziqi's face turned red with excitement, and he clapped his hands and said: "Brother, you are five years earlier than your uncle's record!
"Not only that!" Even with Lin Zhaoyu's soft temperament, her voice couldn't help but raise at this time, and her eyes seemed to be shining, "The cultivation of the descendants has reached Xiao Zhoutian, and they can enter the Council of Elders!"
In the eyes of families like the Lu family, below Xiao Zhoutian, they can all use resources to pile up, and only those who reach Xiao Zhoutian can be regarded as truly entering the threshold of the strong. People with foreign surnames will be respected as "Keqing" when they reach Xiao Zhoutian, and ordinary members of the Lu family can enter the Council of Elders after passing the audit, and a descendant like Lu Qiming will be directly promoted to an elder as soon as Xiao Zhoutian becomes a child!
As an elder, you are truly qualified to know the secrets of the family and participate in major decisions within the clan.
"Brother is definitely the youngest elder in all the families!" Lu Ziqi made a gesture of heart, and then immediately grabbed Lu Qiming's arm, and said with a smile: "If Lu Jun dares to provoke me again, brother, you must punish him severely!"
"Ziqi!" Lin Zhaoyu held his forehead, and then frowned: "But in this way, I'm afraid that more people want to challenge you, and people from other families have come over one after another recently......"
"It doesn't matter. Lu Qiming chuckled, shook his head again, and said, "Actually, it doesn't make a difference whether there is such a thing or not." ”
"Yes. "Lin Zhaoyu Wan'er. There were so many people who came this time, and they originally came for Lu Qiming. If young people don't really compare, no one will be convinced. Just like when their generation liked to challenge Lu Zhan...... Thinking of this, Lin Zhaoyu couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his heart, but his eyes when he looked at Lu Qiming were even softer-this kid was just like his father back then......
......
The three of them were chatting, and suddenly a waiter knocked on the door, and it turned out to be Lu Xingzhi's call to Lu Qiming to speak.
Lu Ziqi was talking about Xingtou, when he was suddenly interrupted, he was very unhappy, and said angrily: "How did grandfather do it, and he still asked people to eat well?"
"Okay, I'll take you out another day. Lu Qiming touched her hair, and said to Lin Zhaoyu: "Auntie, then I'll go first." ”
Lin Zhaoyu nodded and smiled, "Go ahead, it must be a good thing!"
