C28 Third Guardian

In an ancient and quiet courtyard, a vigorous figure appeared. This person was Xiao Xiao's grandmother, Lyu Ying.

After Lyu Ying left Xiao Xiao's villa, she drove straight to the ancient courtyard near the mountain range in the outskirts of Jing City. Lyu Ying's pace seemed to be slow but it gave people a feeling that they could not figure it out.

No one knew that Lyu Ying was an inner force expert, including his son. He was also Xiao Xiao's father. Lyu Ying would never use martial arts in front of others. She knew the rules of her family. She also knew what kind of consequences she would face if she broke the rules of her family. This made Lyu Ying's mind tighten.

Only in the family's place would Lyu Ying slightly relax her string and use the martial arts that the family taught her. This ancient quiet and mysterious courtyard was also the secret base of the Lu family in the capital.

The Lu family was an ancient family, comparable to Chen Tianming's Chen family. Moreover, it was even older than the Chen family. The Chen family rose up in the Sui and Tang era. The era when the Lu family rose up was the beginning of West Han, and it was created by the first generation Empress of West Han Dynasty,lu Tong. The Lu Clan was founded to allow Lu Chuping to rule the country, and then Lu Chuping fell ill... However, he was still unwilling to give up his authority. But at this time, the descendants of the Liu family and a group of senior officials could no longer tolerate her impudence. The Marquis of Zhu Xu,liu Zhang,zhou Bo, and Chen Ping were the first to act. Activating the mutiny,lu Zhi's brother... His nephew,lu Lu, and the others, who were armed to the teeth, could not even withstand a single blow. Lu Zhi died in shock.

After this revolution, only a few people from the Lu Clan managed to escape the palace and live a life of seclusion in the mountains. After decades of recuperation, coupled with the large amount of wealth they brought with them when they escaped from the palace, the Lu family grew stronger and stronger.

The sixth generation Patriarch of the Lu family,lu Xian, did not have great ambitions. However, he had met Fang Hua's Liu Mingzi on a fortuitous encounter at Zhongnan Mountain. Under Lu Xian's persistence and hard work, he finally got Liu Mingzi to become a cultivator. Liu Mingzi taught Lu Xian cultivation methods. It allowed Lu Xian to quickly possess astonishing abilities. After Lu Xian mastered the technique, he returned to the clan. At that time, the Lu Clan had already been passed down to the ninth generation Patriarch,lu Yu. Lu Xian found that the secular world was already boring. He could not help but have the idea of living in seclusion in the mountains and passing down the classics of cultivation. He also warned Lu Yu that this cultivation technique was passed down to men and not women. It was only passed down to the direct line of descent, not to the side branch, and... Every patriarch had to listen to the orders of Kunlun after they had achieved success in their studies. They had to take the responsibility of eradicating demons and defending the Dao for themselves. Furthermore, they had to contact experts from all over the world to defend the east together.

After giving his instructions,lu Xian left. There was no longer any news from him. However,lu Xian was recorded in the most important family tree of the Lu family, and every word he said before he left was recorded. Every generation of the Lu family's family head also treated Lu Xian as a deity, and everything that Lu Xian told was well carried out. No one dared to disobey.

Today, after thousands of years of wind and rain, the Lu Clan's size had already exceeded imagination. The branches and branches could be described as towering trees, and each branch and leaf represented a side branch system.

Lyu Ying was the new side branch, and Lyu Ying was the direct descendant of the Lu family. Unfortunately, she was a girl, so she could not obtain the most authentic cultivation classics. However, the Lu family had collected quite a number of internal force manuals over the past few thousand years, so Lyu Ying learned the internal force manuals passed down in the family. But even if it was internal force secret manuals to branch systems, they were not allowed to be passed on to outsiders, so Xiao Xiao's father did not learn martial arts. Even Lyu Ying, who was an inner force expert, did not know.

Lyu Ying was very clear about the rules of these families. Every time she stepped into the place of the family, she would always remember the history of the family.

Sighing slightly, Lyu Ying adjusted her mood and walked into the courtyard of the courtyard. An antique house appeared in front of her eyes. Lyu Ying walked forward and respectfully said to the direction of the house, "The direct descendant of the Lu family, the 342nd generation successor, Lyu Ying requests to see Third Protectro."

Lyu Ying's voice carried some internal force and had a strong penetrating power. It had been far away and the location of this courtyard was very remote. Moreover, the Lu family had bought this piece of land. The surrounding people also knew that this was a private place. And it was somewhat mysterious, unless permitted. Usually, one would not casually enter, so Lyu Ying was not afraid that her voice would be heard by others.

Not long after Lyu Ying finished speaking, the two red wooden doors on the house slowly opened towards the inside. But no one was there.

Because of the mountain back and the sun setting in the west, there was no light in the house, so one could not see what was inside the house from the outside. They only felt that it was pitch black.

Although the door of the house was open, Lyu Ying was still standing there and did not move. Her attitude was still very respectful and there was not the slightest change in her expression.

"Come in..." An ancient voice with an ancient aura came out from the room. The voice was very soft, as if it could disappear at any time but it was still in Lyu Ying's ears for a long time.

Hearing the voice, Lyu Ying was filled with respect. She bowed towards the direction of the house and quickly entered the house. The door automatically closed the moment Lyu Ying entered the house.

Lyu Ying naturally looked at the darkness in front of her. She knew that there was a person sitting in the darkness who was second only to the patriarch in the family - Third Protectro.

The Lu family had eight great guardians and twelve great Tiangang. Thirty-six Disha Qis. These people were the direct descendants of the family. The status of the eight Protectors in the clan was second only to the Patriarch, and only the Patriarch could appoint them as Protectors. Of the Eight Protectors, only three were in the clan's headquarters. The other five were assigned to guard the various places. The capital was now the political and cultural center. Therefore, the family had Third Protectro, one of the eight great guardians, oversee the capital.

The lamp lit up. It was the oldest oil lamp, and the facilities in the room were simple and crude. It could be said that there was nothing. There was a mahogany table and a mahogany chair. There was also a mahogany bed and an ancient yellow oil lamp on the mahogany table. There were only a few decorations.

Lyu Ying did not care about the environment around her. She knew that when one cultivated to the level of the Eight Protectors, the material needs of the outside world could be said to be non-essential.

Lyu Ying looked respectfully at Third Protectro in front of her.

Third Protectro in front of her withdrew his hand that was pointing at the oil lamp. He looked at Lyu Ying with an expressionless face and said, "Lyu Ying, what brings you here this time?"

Outside the room, Third Protectro's voice sounded ancient, but it shocked people when they saw him in person because there was not a trace of age on Third Protectro's face. He looked like a middle-aged man.

However, Lyu Ying did not dare to show any disrespect to this middle-aged man. She knew that this middle-aged man in front of her, the Third Protectro in her family, was over 400 years old.

"Lyu Ying has come to disturb Third Protectro. I have something to report to you." Lyu Ying said respectfully.

"What is it?" Third Protectro's voice was still as ancient as before. It was so deep that it almost did not carry a trace of secular aura.

"Lyu Ying came this time because she found traces of the Chen family's clansmen." Lyu Ying said truthfully.

Third Protectro's eyes lit up and said, "Oh? Have you found Chen Tian Yu?" Third Protectro's eyes, which were as clear as a pool of water, seemed to have been smashed open by someone.

Lyu Ying shook her head and continued, "Not Chen Tian Yu, but someone who has a great relationship with Chen Tian Yu."

Hearing this, Third Protectro's eyes darkened. He gently spat out a word, "Who?"

Lyu Ying took a deep breath and said, "It's Chen Tian Yu's son, Chen Tianming."

"Chen Tian Yu's son?" Third Protectro's eyes lit up again.

"Yes, he is now studying in a high school in the capital." Lyu Ying reported truthfully, but she did not mention that Chen Tianming had already given the family jade pendant of the Chen family to her granddaughter Xiao Xiao.

After all, people have their own selfish motives...

"Did you find Chen Tian Yu?" Third Protectro asked.

"No,i don't think he's in the capital. Chen Tianming, the son of Chen Tian Yu whom I investigated, grew up together with his grandmother." After Lyu Ying came out of Xiao Xiao's villa, she immediately sent people to investigate Chen Tianming. Lyu Ying's subordinates were very efficient. Lyu Ying had only just arrived at Xiao Xiao's house when she already knew everything about Chen Tianming.

"Did you find the whereabouts of the Chen family's treasure, the Soaring Dragon Seal?" Third Protectro's voice finally carried a trace of ripple. It was no longer as calm as before, but it still sounded ancient and deep in one's ears.

Lyu Ying knew that Third Protectro was a very cold and lonely person. Now, he was a very lonely person. The fluctuation of his voice clearly indicated that the protector of the Lu family was very excited in his heart.

"There is no clue about the whereabouts of the Soaring Dragon Seal for the time being. However,i will send someone to investigate Chen Tianming closely. I believe that the whereabouts of the Soaring Dragon Seal will be known soon. Chen Tian Yu must have given the seal to Chen Tianming." Lyu Ying's voice sounded very confident.

"Oh? Why are you so sure?" Third Protectro stared at Lyu Ying and said.

Lyu Ying could not stand the gaze of the Third Elder and quickly said, "A few days ago, a divine dragon appeared in San Ya City of Hainan Province in Yan Huang. Coincidentally, Chen Tianming was also in San Ya City at that time."

"Yes." Third Protectro muttered thoughtfully, and said, "It seems that Chen Tianming is already able to release the divine dragon in the Soaring Dragon Seal."

Lyu Ying didn't dare to speak and waited for Third Protectro's instructions.

After a while, Third Protectro said, "Where is Chen Tianming now?"

"Chen Tianming is now in Hunan Zhang family's territory." Lyu Ying replied.

"Zhang family boundary? En, Lyu Ying you can go back first. I know about this." After Third Protectro finished speaking, he closed his eyes. The oil lamp in the room automatically extinguished.

Lyu Ying respectfully retreated to the mahogany door, turned around, opened the mahogany door, and walked out of the room. The mahogany door was the same as when it was opened, and it automatically closed when Lyu Ying came out of the room.

Lyu Ying relaxed her tensed nerves outside the house and heaved a slight sigh of relief. Third Protectro had given her too much pressure. Every time she saw Third Protectro, it was as if she had fought a war.

After briefly adjusting her mind, Lyu Ying walked out of the ancient courtyard and drove her car away.

The courtyard returned to its usual quiet and ancient atmosphere...
