C31 Father and Son Talk

Xu Jing was silent for a long time. He took a sip of wine and said, "Not bad."

Dong Chi pursed his lips and smiled. He didn't say anything. He brought the wine to Xu Jing and drank it all in one gulp.

Xu Jing also drank it all and asked, "Why did you come to Cangwu City?"

Dong Chi was stunned. He slightly closed his eyes and looked out the window at the crowded streets. He said softly, "Someone spent money and asked me to kill someone."

Xu Jing's expression changed slightly when he heard that. He looked into Dong Chi's eyes and said in a deep voice, "You actually started doing this kind of thing now!"

Dong Chi smiled indifferently and said, "When people are in the martial world, they cannot help themselves."

Dong Chi got up and left.

Xu Jing looked at the dishes on the table that had not been touched and remained silent.

He picked up the wine jar and poured a full bowl, but just as he was about to take it to his mouth, he suddenly remembered something and stopped drinking.

He placed the bowl of wine back on the table, stood up, and left.

...

Liu Renzhi was carried back to the Liu Family by two of his men. When Liu Jingtai, the patriarch of the Liu Family, saw him, he immediately became furious.

Of course, he was even more furious that Liu Renzhi had lost to Lu Ming.

One should know that he had spent a lot of money on Liu Renzhi over the years.

In Liu Renzhi's courtyard, Liu Jingtai dismissed two of his subordinates and sat on a stool, waiting for Liu Renzhi to wake up.

Not long after, Liu Renzhi covered his face and cried out in pain as he propped up his upper body. He also muttered that he would not let Lu Ming off the next time he saw him.

Liu Renzhi was about to get off the bed when he unexpectedly found Liu Jingtai.

His expression changed slightly and he called out in fear, "Father..."

Liu Jingtai sneered and said, "I don't have a useless son like you."

Liu Renzhi's left hand, which was still in the blanket, clenched his fist.

Liu Jingtai said, "Think about how many resources I have spent on you in these three years, but you are still at a disadvantage under Lu Ming. This means that my Liu Family is not as good as the Lu Family. Have you cultivated all your hard work in these three years to become a dog?"

Liu Renzhi gritted his teeth, clenched his fist tightly, and his body trembled slightly. However, he still didn't say anything.

Liu Jingtai saw all of this, and the disappointment in his eyes became stronger. He said, "I don't want to say anything more about you. You have lost face, and you have to get it back."

Liu Jingtai snorted coldly. He got up, flicked his sleeve, and walked away.

Liu Renzhi's body tensed up for a long time before he slowly relaxed. However, his eyes were overflowing with unimaginable resentment. He said in a low and fierce voice, "Lu Ming! It's all your fault!"

...

The little girl jogged all the way back to a simple house in an old alley.

Behind her, there were a few strong men in plain clothes. They were carrying a coffin. It seemed that the little girl's previous actions were not fake.

The little girl asked them to carry the middle-aged man who was lying on the bed with a pale face and a cold body into the coffin, and then bury him in the outskirts of Cangwu City.

After the little girl thanked them one by one, she carefully looked at this simple and crude house, as if she wanted to remember it.

"Father, I'm leaving..." The little girl took down the shriveled money pouch from her waist and used her hand to gently stroke the embroidered Lu character on it. A smile appeared on her little face.

...

Lu Ming returned to his courtyard and began practicing his sword skills.

However, he stopped after a short while.

There were distracting thoughts in his mind.

These distracting thoughts came from Ximen Chuixue.

Or rather, he had experienced Ximen Chuixue's Sword Realm before, so he was more or less affected.

Ximen Chuixue was a cold-hearted and eccentric person. He did not need a reason to attack, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he killed someone for the sake of killing someone.

To Lu Ming, there was actually nothing wrong with this, unless he was still in his previous life.

In Mysterious Continent, if you didn't kill someone, others would kill them. They would never pity you.

Lu Yuan came in with a bowl of hot soup. He smiled and said to Lu Ming, "Ming'er, finish the chicken soup first before practicing your sword. You have been practicing hard in Taihao Sect for the past three years. You have lost weight."

Lu Ming nodded and said, "Okay, father."

Lu Ming did not care whether the chicken soup was hot or not. He drank it all in one gulp, but it was a little bitter.

Lu Yuan saw Lu Ming frown slightly and smiled. He said, "This chicken soup contains some medicinal herbs that are quite old. It will naturally be a bit bitter, but it is better than nourishing it."

Lu Ming said, "I know. Father, have you investigated the matter of Nocturnal Pavilion? "

Lu Yuan shook his head and said helplessly, "The Nocturnal Pavilion is quite mysterious. I heard that it came from the Yi State."

"Yi State?" Lu Ming said.

Lu Yuan said, "That's right. Also, the Tower Lord is very mysterious. He has been missing for a long time, and his identity is unknown."

"But the Nocturnal Pavilion is very decisive when it comes to matters. As long as the price is fair, no matter who it is, they will help you kill them."

Speaking of this, Lu Yuan's expression was very serious.

Lu Ming furrowed his brows and asked, "Did father find out about the relationship between the Liu Family and the Nocturnal Pavilion?"

Lu Yuan shook his head regretfully and said, "No, but this matter must be related to the Liu Family's escape."

"Forget it. Let's not talk about this for now. There will be a family feast in two days. You have to prepare." Lu Yuan looked at Lu Ming and said.

Lu Ming was a little stunned. He pointed at himself and asked, "Me? What do I prepare?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "You are now a disciple of Taihao Sect. Naturally, you will have the reputation of being a disciple of a big sect. The disciples in the family would like to see how powerful you are."

Lu Ming said with some distress, "There is no need to go through so much trouble..."

Lu Yuan said, "Sometimes it will be so troublesome."

Lu Ming did not say anything.

At this time, a guard rushed over and cupped his fists. He said in a clear voice, "Master, young master, there is a young lady outside the mansion requesting to see you. She said that young master owed her a favor."

"This is her proof."

The guard handed over the money bag in his hand.

Lu Ming looked at the money bag and then remembered the so-called kindness.

Lu Yuan looked at Lu Ming and said to the guard, "Let her in."

The guard withdrew.

Lu Yuan looked at Lu Ming and said, "You went out for a while and picked up a little girl."

The corner of Lu Ming's mouth twitched. He did not know what Lu Yuan was looking forward to! He explained what happened on the street to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan frowned and said, "You hit Liu Renzhi?"

Lu Ming nodded and said, "This guy is the same as before. He can't be beaten."

Lu Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "That old fool Liu Jingtai might not be able to sit still."

Lu Ming said, "So what if he cannot sit? Bullying the young with the strong?"

Lu Yuan said, "He cares a lot about face. He definitely can't do this."

Lu Ming shrugged and said," That's why I'm still safe. "

Lu Yuan said, "That might not be the case." He suddenly looked up into the sky. The sun was already behind the clouds. There was no sunlight. The cool breeze that blew in the early winter was like a gentle, cold hand. It made people tremble slightly.

Lu Yuan said, "When will Elder Xu Jing come over?"

Lu Ming had told Lu Yuan about Xu Jing and asked him what he had given Xu Jing. He asked Xu Jing to take care of Lu Ming on the eve of the Trial of Blood and Fire.

Lu Yuan did not say much. He only said that it was a strange thing. The Lu Family could not solve it, so he could only give it to someone else.

Also, it wasn't bad for Lu Ming to be able to enter the Taihao Sect by giving it to someone else.
