The faint sound in the forest froze.

Lu Zhan's body stood tall and motionless, his eyes fixed on the position of the old pine trees in the forest, and time slipped by in silence.

After a long time for tea, a figure finally flashed out from behind the trunk of one of the pine trees, and the figure seemed very hesitant, he froze on the edge of the trunk for a moment before walking towards Lu Zhan.

As the figure approached, his face became clearer, the man was in his fifties, ruddy complexion, his eyes were sharp, his face was square, and he looked very majestic, but his beard was already slightly gray.

"It's you, Hou Ye!" Lu Zhan was shocked in his heart after seeing that person's face, this person was actually the true owner of the Lu Mansion who had not appeared for a long time - the righteous and brave Marquis Lu Bufan.

The last time Lu Zhan saw him before this was three years ago, when the Righteous Marquis was majestic and imposing. I didn't expect to see him again three years later, he was much older, and he was no longer the same style as he used to be.

Perhaps, it is the years that make people old.

Perhaps, it is Lu Zhan himself who has grown and grown. He no longer had to raise his head to look up at the righteous marquis in front of him, so the feeling was different from three years ago.

Righteous Marquis Lu Bufan walked to a place not far from Lu Zhan and stood still, his eyes fell on the dry corpse of the third young master.

Listening to this Lu Bufan let out a long sigh and said, "It seems that I am still late, and I have not been able to catch up with the life-and-death struggle between you and the third child." ”

Lu Zhan also sighed in his heart, and admitted loudly: "I killed the person, your son and I have a vendetta against my father, and this revenge that does not share the heavens has to be avenged! ”

For the righteous and brave Marquis Lu Bufan, Lu Zhan did not have much disgust in his heart, and when his father was alive, he admired this righteous and brave marquis the most.

So Lu Zhan has admired him very much since he was a child. It's just that since his father's death, he has seen so many shady events happening in Lu Fu, and Lu Bufan has never been hidden, so although Lu Zhan still has respect for him, he no longer has admiration.

Lu Bufan looked at the body of the third young master expressionlessly, but said lightly: "You can't blame you for this, he is to blame." ”

Lu Zhan didn't expect him to be so deeply aware of righteousness, and he was a little confused in his mind for a while, wondering if this Hou Ye had any other conspiracy?

His own son died, and he died so miserably, that he was unmoved, as if he were looking at the corpse of a stranger who had nothing to do with him.

Lu Bufan sensed Lu Zhan's doubts, and he took his eyes off the corpse of the third young master and turned to Lu Zhan.

He looked Lu Zhan up and down, his eyes were full of complicated emotions, but he didn't show a trace of resentment: "You were able to kill the third child, this is something that Ben Hou never expected." Ben Hou has been watching you all along, although your growth can be described as growing by leaps and bounds. But if you want to kill the third child, there is always a distance away. ”

"You've been paying attention to me all along?" Lu Zhan had a few big question marks in his heart: "Master Hou, haven't you been practicing in retreat, where did you get the time to pay attention to me?"

At this time, he suddenly remembered the feeling of being peeped at from behind some time ago, could it be that Lu Bufan was secretly spying on him?

Lu Bufan seemed to have guessed the question in Lu Zhan's heart, and he nodded and admitted: "That's right, it is Ben Hou who has been secretly spying on you, because you are the most talented martial arts person I have ever seen, even surpassing the third child." It can be said that you have the ability to be the savior of our Lu family. “

"Become the savior of the Lu family?" Lu Zhan felt more and more confused, the Lu family was in great power, not only was he a noble marquis, but he also had a deep foundation in the capital, how could there be any catastrophe and need the help of a savior?

After Lu Bufan finished saying the headless and tailless words, he did not continue to deepen the topic, but walked to the third young master's dry corpse, leaned over to look at the third young master, and whispered to himself: "Hmph, you killed so many people for you to do 'innate blood refining**'." But you never thought that you would end up being 'blood refined'. Those who do many acts of injustice will kill themselves, this is the unchanging truth of the ages. You kid thinks you've found a way to defy the heavens, so you can do whatever you want. It's just that the way of heaven is clear, how can you go against this way. ”

"Master Hou, what are you ......" Lu Zhan hesitated, not knowing whether to ask all the doubts in his heart.

"Are you wondering, why am I not sad at all, but rather a little excited, and even a little more excited?" Lu Bufan asked.

"Hmm. Lu Zhan nodded, although he was already vaguely aware that there was something wrong between their father and son, he felt that Lu Bufan's performance at the moment was still a bit against common sense.

Lu Bufan hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth: "Because the third child is not my biological son, he has no blood relationship with our Lu family. ”

"Huh?"

Lu Zhan's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he quickly regained his calm and watery bearing.

Since Lu Bufan's most difficult sentence has been spit out, it is no longer difficult to say the rest of the words.

He continued: "The mother of the third child is the concubine I married home from the Qinglou, she is beautiful, she can be called a person who is more beautiful than a flower, and she is knowledgeable and interesting, and she was very favored by Benhou at the beginning. However, not long after she entered the Lu Mansion, she was raped by a murderer during a trip to Beiquan Mountain, and the murderer killed her bodyguard and maid, leaving her alone to do a lot of money. By the time I found her, the thug had already flown away, and she was already a secret fetus. It's a pity that Ben Hou didn't find anything wrong with the third lady at that time, and welcomed her home as usual. If I had known that she had the seed of evil in her belly, I would never have allowed a child with the blood of a murderer to come into this world.

Ten months later, the third lady gave birth to a baby boy, and the old man was indeed ecstatic at that time, and he was very happy with him, although at first I thought that the child did not look like me at all, but I did not think much about the scene at that time.

It wasn't until the third child was one year old that the murderer who raped the third lady suddenly came to the house and laughed at the old man and said that the child was his species. At that time, I saw that the murderer's eyebrows did look a little similar to the third child, and the time was very consistent with the calculation, and the anger in my heart was so angry that I fought with the madman at that time. However, the murderer followed a peerless alien who he called the 'Old Immortal of the Cave Mansion', and his martial arts attainments were surprisingly high, and he had already broken through to the realm of turning his strength into nothingness! The old man not only couldn't fight him, but was caught by him between three moves and two styles.

The thug was not in a hurry to kill me, but asked the old man to take good care of his son, and not to slack off a little, otherwise the Lu Mansion would suffer the disaster of destruction, and the chickens and dogs would not be left. After finishing speaking, he brushed his sleeves and flew away.

Although the old man was extremely unwilling, he was afraid that Lu Mansion would suffer misfortune, so he had to swallow his anger and pull the third child up. As the so-called long-term love, I gradually have a love for the third child, thinking that although he is a wicked person, but the son is not guilty, plus after the fourth child drowned, my Lu Mansion is indeed a withered talent, and the third child is a genius. So the old man poured all his money into teaching him and used all the resources of my Lu Mansion on him, hoping to cultivate a top master of the power realm for my Lu Mansion to light the lintel.

It's a pity that the third child has the evil blood of a murderer in his bones after all, and as he grows older, the violent spirit in his body has gradually been revealed. However, due to my presence, he can still restrain himself a little.

It wasn't until later that his murderous father came to the house to look for him and brought him under the door of the 'old fairy', that the third child was completely out of my discipline.

You may have heard of the next situation, he has been practicing and wandering outside, and with the help of the influence and resources of the Lu Mansion, he has developed a large foundation of his own. And it didn't take long for the old man to hear some very bad rumors about him, such as that he killed people like hemp, for example, he was violent and impermanent, for example, he ** captivated countless and so on and so on, until one day your father secretly told me that he was constantly killing a large number of people who cultivated martial arts to engage in some weird 'innate blood refining**', and then the old man knew that he had degenerated to the point of practicing evil art and poisoning living beings. ”

"My father?" Lu Zhan interrupted him and asked, "How did my father get involved in this matter?"

"Hmph, it's all to blame on that Liu Dagu. Lu Bufan replied: "Your father is honest, reliable, and tight-mouthed, so Liu Dagu just takes a fancy to your father's advantages and wants to take them for his own use." He first asked your father to do something very reasonable and legal, and then paid him very much. Your father accepted his benefits, so he naturally worked for him more attentively, so he went back and forth, and gradually came into contact with some secrets hidden by the third child.

Once, he ran errands for Liu Dagu and sent two copies of the information on the accounts to the third child, and accidentally found that the third child was using the essence blood and qi of a group of warriors to 'refine blood and transform spirits', which is the scene you see now after killing a person and absorbing all the essence blood and qi in his body. At that time, your father was so frightened that he hid aside and didn't dare to move. Fortunately, at that time, the third child was concentrating on the 'Innate Blood Refining**', and he didn't find your father, otherwise your father would not have escaped his poisonous hands at that time.

Afterwards, your father secretly came to Ben Hou and told me about it. It's a pity that at this time, I don't have the ability to discipline the third child who has reached the peak of condensation and is about to break through the realm of transforming energy, and I also have a premonition that the third child has rebelled against me, he now knows that I am not his father, and he has long lost the fetters of flesh and blood, and sooner or later he will attack the old man and the entire Lu family.

Your father told Ben Hou that after the third child 'refining blood and transforming spirits', in addition to feeling that the crisis was getting closer and closer, I really couldn't think of a better way to stop their earth-shattering evil deeds. However, your father is loyal to our Lu Mansion, and when he saw that Ben Hou was embarrassed, he took the initiative to ask to monitor the third child and Liu Dagu, and report their actions to me at any time, so that everyone could be vigilant and prepared as soon as possible. It wasn't long before he was ......"

Speaking of this, Lu Bufan sighed, patted Lu Zhan's shoulder and said: "So I also have a certain responsibility for your father's death, if I stopped him at that time, let him get out of the matter as soon as possible, and take you out of the Lu Mansion, maybe I won't suffer this misfortune." ”;
