Chapter 25 The Dark Tide Rises

A bright moon in the sky had risen to the center, and the silver moonlight was sprinkled on the ground. The streets and alleys of the entire Longzhou Mansion were already quiet at this time.

The Lu family's compound, at this time, in addition to the lion awakening pavilion where the patriarch lives is still lit, there is also a place that is also brightly lit at this time. That is the courtyard of Lu Tianhong, the second elder who is currently in the limelight and powerful in the Lu family.

At this time, in the study of the second elder Lu Tianhong, Lu Tianhong's confidant Lu Tai was standing respectfully beside the desk with his hands down.

"You just said that the Great Elder and the Seventh Elder went to the Patriarch tonight?" Suddenly, an indifferent voice slowly came out of Lu Tianhong's mouth.

"Yes, sir, just now my people below came to report, saying that they saw the Great Elder and the Seventh Elder go to the Lion Awakening Pavilion together, and they stayed in it for a long time, and it took nearly half an hour to come out. Lu Tai said respectfully.

"Oh, why are the Great Elder and Seventh Elder going to the Patriarch so late?" Lu Tianhong's eyes were faint, and his essence flickered.

"Uh... This subordinate couldn't figure it out either, but according to the guard who came back to report, the Great Elder and the Seventh Elder didn't have very good expressions when they came out of the Lion Awakening Pavilion, "Lu Tai reported truthfully.

"Oh, the Great Elder and the Seventh Elder didn't look good when they came out, then that's very interesting," Lu Tianhong smiled and said with a calm expression.

"The subordinates don't understand why the master said this," Lu Tai asked cautiously.

"Hehe, you said that the Great Elder and the Seventh Elder had a bad face when they came out, then it means that they must have gone to the patriarch for something, but they didn't get the result they wanted, so they turned ugly. Lu Tianhong seemed to be smiling, and said meaningfully

"So that's the case, it's all the subordinates who are stupid, or the old man is smart, it's just a little detail, and you can see a lot of ways," Lu Tai suddenly realized, and couldn't help but pat himself on the back.

Listening to Lu Tai's words of praise, Lu Tianhong smiled and looked very enjoyable.

"However, what will they do when they go to the patriarch?" Lu Tianhong shook his head slightly, puzzled.

"Has there been any major or special events in the family recently?" Lu Tianhong suddenly asked seriously, because he had been in retreat and cultivation recently, and he hadn't paid much attention to the things in the outside world, that is, he had only ended his retreat today.

Hearing Lu Tianhong's question, Lu Tai hurriedly returned, "Back to the master, there haven't been any major incidents in the family recently, if there is anything special, I have one thing in mind." ”

"Oh, what's the special thing?" Hearing Lu Tai's words, Lu Tianhong felt a trace of curiosity in his heart, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.

Lu Tai adjusted his mood and said, "That's right, master. Today, I heard from the people below that today there was a conflict between Lu Yan, the grandson of the patriarch, and Lu Qiang, the grandson of the Seventh Elder, in Longyan Cave. ”

"What's so special about this", Lu Tianhong felt a little puzzled, and his face was a little disappointed.

"yes, I didn't think it was anything special. And if it's just a conflict between the two sons, it's nothing special, but the problem is, listening to the people below, at that time, Lu Qianggongzi burst out with a seven-layer momentum to oppress Lu Gongzi, but just when everyone thought that Lu Yangongzi was going to be humiliated, then Lu Yangongzi actually broke out with an equally powerful momentum and formed an evenly matched situation with Lu Qianggongzi, and Lu Tai said this in one breath.

There is such a thing, didn't Lu Yan rumor it before that his meridians were broken, how could he still burst out with such strength. Lu Tianhong asked in surprise, as soon as he came out of retreat today, he happened to hear the people below talking about it, and when he heard it, he was very happy.

"Master, this is also what I feel strange, I can be sure that the previous rumors about Lu Yan's meridian break are true, and I also went to check what he did in Longyan Cave yesterday, and it is all true, but what makes me puzzled is that since he has broken his meridians, why can he still burst out with such strength. Unless his meridians are already healed," Lu Tai analyzed step by step.

"Your analysis is very reasonable, if what you said is indeed true, it can only mean that his meridians are indeed already good," Lu Tianhong nodded in agreement with Lu Tai's analysis.

"But here's the problem, as we all know, the meridians are the foundation of a martial artist's cultivation, if the meridians are broken, then a martial artist is basically useless. And there are only two ways to re-heal the broken meridians, that is, there are masters above the congenital level to help or more than three healing elixirs to treat the broken meridians. But we don't have innate martial artists in the entire Longzhou Mansion, and I haven't heard that the family has more than three healing elixirs, the more Lu Tai thinks about it, the more incomprehensible he feels.

"Three-grade elixir?"

Hearing Lu Tai talk about the elixir, Lu Tianhong's mind flashed with inspiration, and he soon thought of golden silk dragon ginseng.

Could it be that the Great Elder and the Seventh Elder went to the Patriarch for this reason?

"Hmph, Lu Tianfeng, Lu Tianfeng, it seems that you must have given the golden silk dragon ginseng to that kid, otherwise how could the boss and the seventh go to you so late, you must know that the seventh has always been very bad with you, hehe.." Lu Tianhong thought secretly in his heart.

"Last time I asked you for it, you didn't give it to me, and you said in public that it was the prize for the first place in this year's clan competition, and now you let that kid take it, I'll see how you explain it then. Lu Tianhong suddenly felt a burst of joy in his heart, and his eyes flashed with a playful look of conspiracy.

However, this may also be an opportunity for me, Lu Tianhong thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that such a situation might bring some unexpected benefits to himself.

After Lu Tai finished talking just now, he looked up at Lu Tianhong from time to time, wondering what his master thought about this matter. However, seeing that his master had been silent, he knew that he was thinking about things, so he waited quietly and did not dare to disturb.

After being silent for a while, Lu Tianhong raised his right hand and waved his hand to Lu Tai and said, I know the matter, you go down first.

Originally, he wanted to get some news from his master, but after hearing Lu Tianhong's words, he knew that his master had made a decision. Although he didn't tell himself, as the person who was most worthy of Lu Tianhong's trust over the years, Lu Tai knew what he should ask and what not to ask, and left the room respectfully.

At this time, only Lu Tianhong was left alone in the huge room, quietly in a daze.

Lu Tianhong turned his back to the desk at this time, quietly staring at a landscape map hanging on the wall, and muttered to himself........ "After so many years of competition, is it finally time to finally see the difference?........。 ”
