"Alas, you guys......" Lu Jiao shook her head and sneered a little helplessly:

"Even if the ancestor of the Ji family is a person who has come back from the dead, what can I do? This time, I will make a fair deal with her, and each will take what he needs. Look at you one by one......

Sometimes I really can't figure it out, even if you forget it, it's the same for grandpa, and even the mention of her name is terrifying? She just wants that Mu Juechen's life!"

Why did the ancestor of the Ji family kill him?!

Suddenly hearing this name, Lu Yao was secretly shocked in her heart, hurriedly wiped the fragrant sweat on her sideburns, pretended to know nothing about Mu Juechen, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, don't you really have a trace of fear for that ancestor?"

"Oh! Why be afraid? In this world, there is only one thing that is the most terrifying! This kind of thing can appear quietly and silently around you, and you don't know anything about it, you can't see it, you can't touch it, it's hard to guess, it's really terrifying!" Lu Jiaoyang raised her tone and was very disdainful.

Speaking of this, Lu Jiao's mind subconsciously recalled the scene when she first met Gu Xijun that day.

At that time, Gu Xijun was very handsome and took a dagger to beat away those little gangsters, but in the face of his frightened self, he rubbed his nose helplessly, and said the above inexplicable words that "comforted" her.

Thinking about it, the corners of Lu Jiao's mouth curled, and her heart couldn't help overflowing with a little warmth. But in a moment, the tenderness on her face was fleeting.

Lu Yao naturally saw all of these in her eyes, she blinked and thought about it, and asked sideways, "Sister is referring to the Soul Devourer?"

"No matter how powerful the Soul Eater is, it has its own cultivation to subdue a more advanced monk, I mean the unpredictable human heart!" Lu Jiao smiled sarcastically, seemingly unintentionally glancing at Lu Yao's heart.

"My sister is right. Lu Yao nodded again and again in flattery, then cautiously looked around left and right, quietly took a step closer, and whispered in Lu Jiao's ear:

"But according to the news that my sister recently came to the Lu family's secret whistle, the ancestor of the Ji family has already passed away for more than a thousand years, but he suddenly came back from the tomb of the Ji family a few months ago!

And after she returned, her face was not old, her posture had not changed, and her gestures were even more charming! The most frightening thing was that I heard that she had to rely on sucking human blood and essence every night to maintain her thousand-year-old figure!!

"That's why I said she was just a thousand-year-old woman! Do you know why my grandfather was subject to her? Because the old man was too worried, and he always thought about the success or failure of the matter and the rise and fall of the family.

And I'm different, family affairs, it's good to have you in the future. After the matter was completed, I only asked Ji Cai'er for that one thing!! and then it should be returned to the Lu family, and nothing will be less. Lu Jiao said unhurriedly, but her eyes gradually sharpened.

"Sister is wise!Ah, by the way, that Pei Qianfang only came up after going down the well for so long, it seems that the secrets in the courtyard are really as my sister guessed in advance, all under that ancient well! Lu Yao smiled lightly and changed the topic, ready to withdraw and retire.

Lu Yao didn't ask any further, because she knew that everything Lu Jiao could tell her had already been told to her. Keep your duty and do your best to assist, the Lu family will also be hers in the future, this is enough!

"Oh, also, the Lechuan Stream should be almost finished, keep an eye on me!" Lu Jiao instructed.

"Sister, don't worry!" Lu Yao bowed again and exited the room softly.

Seeing Lu Yao walking away from the balcony, Lu Jiao turned around and twisted her body step by step towards an inner room on the second floor of the Purple Qi Donglai Pavilion.

After lifting the light gauze curtain inside and outside, a burst of fragrance suddenly came to the face, and it was refreshing to smell it.

The whole inner room is not very large, but it is decorated with a bookish atmosphere.

On the round table in the middle are several pots of refreshing and brilliant vermilion red.

Inside, there are many beautifully framed books, calligraphy and paintings on the closets around the room, and the contents are very different and framed.

Putting down the curtain, Lu Jiao slowly walked to a wooden wall cabinet behind the Taishi chair opposite.

Reaching out and removing the neatly arranged books in the second compartment of the third row, a worn brass candlestick was revealed.

Turn the candlestick vigorously, and the bookcase on the left suddenly moves as soon as the vertical row of bookcases moves. Immediately afterward, the bookcase slowly moved away with a "crunch" sound, and then a light shone in.

When the mechanism gradually freezes, a secret passage that only allows one person to pass through gradually appears inside.

The dark passage is not long, and it takes a dozen steps to reach the end, and at the end is another secret room.

The space in this secret room is also not very large, and the furnishings are very simple, a lamp, a table, a chair, and a bed.

On the table is a thick ancient book, the material of which is particularly special, and each piece is made of copper. The book has a total of six pieces, each piece is engraved with neat gold text, and the font is a large seal with concise and vivid lines.

Lu Jiao looked around the dark room, walked to the table, picked up the top piece of copper casually, and fiddled with it in her hand at will.

After looking at it repeatedly for a long time, she suddenly laughed inexplicably, and then her thin red lips moved slightly:

"Grandpa, I was still wondering why you and Yunxiao kept advising me not to touch this book of Ancient Secrets. It seems that I am the only one who does not know the secret recorded in this book, and there is such a shocking use hidden in this book!

I also know what you're worried about, but you relax, the facts will prove that the Lu family will not only not decay in my generation, but will prosper even more! What you don't dare to do, don't dare to try, it's all up to me, Lu Jiao! Grandpa, you just need to sleep for a while, and when you wake up, it's a different world!"

Boom!

The ancient books were casually discarded back to the table by Lu Jiao, and the copper pieces collided with each other and made a sound.

After glancing at the copper piece, Lu Jiao slowly turned her head to look to the side, and her fierce and resolute voice sounded coldly in the dim dark room again:

"Now, the time and place are favorable, and the power that has accumulated in the circle for thousands of years, it's time to have a master!!"

But no one in the room answered.

In the direction of her gaze, it was the only bed in the room.

On top of the bed, an old man was lying. The old man's face was calm and peaceful at the moment, his eyes were closed, and except for the uniform undulation of his chest, the other parts of his body did not move, as if he was asleep. Rather, it was as if he had been asleep, as if nothing could wake him up in time.

The old man who fell asleep was none other than Lu Xu, the head of the Lu family who had suddenly disappeared in the Lu Mansion a month ago!!
