C29 Where Do You Want to Cut off This Time

In the study, Lu Yuan heard some movement. He exchanged a glance with Zhou Huaiyuan, then hurried to guard Lu Ming's courtyard.

He forcefully pushed open the door and saw the two corpses on the ground, as well as Lu Ming who was wiping the Overwhelming Profound Sword. He quickly walked in front of Lu Ming and sized him up, "Ming'er, are you alright?"

Lu Ming placed the clean Overwhelming Profound Sword on the table and said to Lu Yuan, "Don't worry father, I'm fine. But father, do you know about the Nocturnal Pavilion?"

"Nocturnal Pavilion?" Lu Yuan's face revealed a look of shock, then a serious expression, and he said, "You have been cultivating hard in the Taihao Sect for the past three years, and have never understood the changes in the secular world. This Nocturnal Pavilion is the rising assassination organization in these three years. I heard that as long as the price is right, anyone can be killed."

"So arrogant?" Lu Ming frowned slightly.

Lu Yuan nodded, looked into Lu Ming's eyes and said, "Ming'er, do you know why someone from the Nocturnal Pavilion came to assassinate you?"

Lu Ming thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know. Although I had some conflicts with people in the Taihao Sect, I wouldn't kill them so quickly."

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes when he heard this. He said in a cold voice, "In that case, it should be that person who did this."

Lu Ming asked, "Father, do you know who it is?"

Lu Yuan snorted and said, "Who else could it be other than that old fool from the Liu Family?"

Lu Ming said, "How did the Liu Family know that I would come back?"

Lu Yuan said, "They might have been keeping an eye on you for a long time. The first two times, they returned empty-handed, but this time, they bumped into you... Humph! " He snorted coldly again, "If I ran into him, I would not be able to avoid him!"

A powerful Qi burst out from Lu Yuan's body. It belonged to Innate Cultivator's powerful cultivation base, as well as the dignity he had gained from being the patriarch for a long time. In an instant, it suppressed everyone in the room, making it hard for them to breathe.

Lu Ming quickly signaled his father to calm down and said, "Father, we can't be sure that this is what the Liu Family said. We need more evidence."

Lu Yuan restrained his Qi and nodded, "I know. However, they can only play dirty tricks in the dark. They don't even dare to fight openly!"

Lu Yuan was the strongest expert in Cangwu City. There was no doubt about it. Otherwise, Lu Family wouldn't have been able to develop in Cangwu City under the pressure of Liu Family.

It was also because of this that the people of Liu Family regarded Lu Yuan as a thorn in their side, wanting to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Lu Yuan ordered his men to clean up the corpses and blood stains in the room. Lu Ming also changed to another courtyard. The window of the courtyard was broken, and it would be very cold if the wind blew at night.

Lu Yuan left after giving some more instructions.

Lu Ming was not sleepy. He had just left Sword Realm, and there were many things that he had yet to master. It was impossible for him not to be nervous when someone came to assassinate him.

Furthermore, Lu Ming suspected that these two people were probably sent by Yu Chi.

However, he couldn't rule out Lu Yuan's speculation. It was the Liu Family who had spent money to kill them.

However, why did the Liu Family buy fierce beasts to kill him?

Was it just to make Lu Yuan suffer for a while?

Lu Ming could not understand this question. He laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling. When the tiredness entered his mind, Lu Ming naturally closed his eyes and fell asleep.

...

The next day, early in the morning.

Lu Ming slept very well. He seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden, and his whole body was indescribably relaxed.

He opened the door and saw the morning sun shining on his face. The cold wind that blew on him made him tremble involuntarily. He muttered, "It should be snowing soon."

Lu Ming walked out of the courtyard and found many servants coming and going. They were holding decorative red silk and colorful lights in their hands.

Lu Ming thought for a while and understood why.

The family banquet would be held in three days, including today.

The servants were in a hurry to prepare and agreed with Zhou Huaiyuan's intention.

Lu Ming did not pay much attention to it.

He told Lu Yuan and slowly walked out of the Lu Family mansion.

Cangwu City was a place where his predecessor lived since he was young. He had visited many scenic places many times.

Now, these places only existed in Lu Ming's memories. He had never experienced them in real life, so he was always confused.

Therefore, in order to completely integrate his predecessor, he had to make use of the current environment.

After Lu Ming finished walking on the long street in front of the mansion, he looked around at the various toys and cosmetic powders on the street stalls. There was nothing to be moved about. He looked like he was looking at a horse or a flower. Wherever he went, he would see them.

When he arrived at the famous Xiyue Lake in Cangwu City, he heard the noise and discussions in front of him. Out of curiosity, Lu Ming mixed in the crowd and looked at what was happening inside.

It had to be said that it was a coincidence. A person whom Lu Ming was very familiar with appeared in his eyes. Or rather, it should be said that his previous self was very familiar with him.

Surrounded by the crowd, Liu Renzhi brought two of his subordinates and looked at the little girl kneeling on the ground in front of him. He revealed an evil smile and said, "You sold yourself to bury your father?"

This little girl looked to be only eleven or twelve years old. Although she was dressed in ordinary and simple clothing, her face was young and beautiful. When she grew up, she would definitely be a beauty. Liu Renzhi's illustrious reputation in the Cangwu City was spread through bullying men and tyrants.

If it wasn't for the existence of the Liu Family behind Liu Renzhi, perhaps Liu Renzhi would have been beaten to death a long time ago.

The little girl clearly knew about Liu Renzhi's infamous name, and her face turned pale. She didn't dare to look into Liu Renzhi's eyes, but for some special reason... She had to grit her teeth and look into Liu Renzhi's eyes. She said, "Yes... Yes."

Liu Renzhi thought for a moment and narrowed his eyes. He smiled and said, "I happen to be lacking a bed warming maid by my side. You will be the one."

The little girl's expression changed. Hatred, pain, unwillingness, helplessness and other emotions intertwined together, but she did not reject Liu Renzhi. It seemed that her father held a very high position in her heart.

Liu Renzhi did not have any intentions of paying the money. He ordered his two subordinates behind him to bring the little girl back.

The little girl's expression changed drastically as she shouted, "You still haven't given me silver. Bury my father."

Liu Renzhi said indifferently, "What's there to care about your father? It's good that he's dead. There's nothing troubling him."

The little girl broke free from the restraints of her two subordinates. She asked for help from the surrounding people, but they were obviously afraid of the Liu Family behind Liu Renzhi. They looked elsewhere, as if they didn't hear the little girl's cry for help.

The little girl was in despair and revealed a sad smile.

"It has been so many years. You are still like this. Aren't you afraid of being killed?" Lu Ming couldn't stand it any longer. He squeezed through the crowd and stood out to confront Liu Renzhi.

Liu Renzhi frowned slightly. He was a little annoyed that someone dared to step out to interfere in his own matters. He could not help but curse, "Who the f * ck do you think you are? How dare you interfere in your Grandpa Liu's matters!"

When the two subordinates saw Liu Renzhi getting angry, they quickly let go of the little girl and approached Lu Ming with a ferocious smile.

Lu Ming didn't bring a sword with him when he went out, but it was extremely easy for him to deal with Liu Renzhi.

Lu Ming looked at Liu Renzhi with an indifferent face and said, "This time, you want to cut off that place?"

Liu Renzhi's expression changed when he heard this. After carefully looking at Lu Ming for a while, he said in surprise, "Lu Ming!"

Lu Ming slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "It's me."

Liu Renzhi's expression immediately became gloomy, as if water could drip out of his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "I originally thought that you were hiding in the Taihao Sect and not coming out, but now you dare to appear in front of me. If I don't kill you, my surname won't be Liu!"

Liu!
