The Strongest Devouring Upgrade

Chapter 9: Safe return

"Hey, Uncle Bai, why are you here?" Lu Pingan didn't walk through the main entrance, but jumped over the wall into the courtyard.

He looked around and saw a simple but clean incense table in the middle of the yard with the tablets of the parents who had just been invited out.

And the old man kneeling in front of the incense case is the old housekeeper Bai of Lu Ping's family.

What surprised Lu Pingan was that he had given Uncle Bai enough silver to go to his hometown outside the city to take care of him.

But looking at the appearance of the courtyard, Uncle Bai should have been guarding this old house during this time.

Uncle Bai is an ordinary person with no blood heritage. This year he has passed the old age with inconvenient legs and feet.

In the situation where Lu Ping'an was losing power, the old man was in danger of being beaten to death by the dude of the clan at any time as a punching bag.

Thinking of this, Lu Ping'an couldn't help feeling guilty. He had been busy cultivating, and he didn't know that Uncle Bai was here alone. But at the same time, he felt a touch of warmth. Although Tianyuan Continent was a place lacking human touch, it did not mean that there were no good people.

Whether it is Lu Linglong or Uncle Bai, these are people who are worthy of Lu Ping's cherishment.

"Ah? Young... Master, is it really you?" Uncle Bai was startled when he saw Lu Ping'an appear, and almost sat on the ground.

"Hahaha, of course it's me." Lu Ping'an stepped forward to support the old man, and replied with a chuckle, "Uncle Bai, thank you."

"No, no hard work, no hard work at all!"

Uncle Bai was sobbing while wiping his tears, and he said intermittently, "Master, I'm sorry, it's not that Uncle Bai wants to hide from you, but I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'll hurt you, but I don't want to leave the Lu family..."

"Uncle Bai, it's okay, I'm fine now." Lu Pingan said, patted his chest vigorously.

Although the old and the young were in a master-servant relationship, Lu Ping'an had already regarded Uncle Bai as his relatives.

咚咚咚...

"Uncle Bai, are you at home?"

Lu Pingan was about to take his luggage back to the room to tidy up, when he heard a knock on the door.

"exquisite?"

Hearing Lu Linglong calling the door, Lu Ping'an frowned slightly, unexpectedly his cousin would come to their old house.

"Linglong is a good boy, I told her not to tell you that I am here. Thanks to her frequent delivery of meals, otherwise the old slave may not be able to survive this winter." Uncle Bai said kindly.

Lu Linglong's parents died early, and his grandfather Lu Songyin was a martial idiot, and lacked the care of his family since he was a child.

Before the Lu Ping's family changed, Lu Linglong often came to this small courtyard to play with Lu Ping's, and the relationship with the old housekeeper Bai Bo was also very deep.

It was precisely because of her presence that those servants in the Lu Mansion who were bullying and fearful of hardship did not dare to make things difficult for the elderly.

"Uncle Bai, are there any guests at home?"

Standing outside the courtyard, Lu Linglong vaguely heard the conversation between Uncle Bai and Lu Pingan, and continued to knock on the door and ask.

"Here, don't worry." Uncle Bai responded and got up to open the door at the courtyard.

The old man was a little strange. Lu Pingan became a little nervous when he heard Lu Linglong's call at the door just now. This has never happened before.

But after another thought, the old man was relieved, after all, the young master had reached the age of youth and ignorance.

"Uncle Bai, who's here?" Lu Linglong asked as she eagerly stood on her tiptoes and looked into the courtyard.

By coincidence, Lu Pingan also turned his head at this moment. At this moment, the two brothers and sisters looked at each other.

Seeing Lu Pingan standing in the yard completely preparing the ground, his face was ruddy, without a trace of haggard, the little girl's eye sockets instantly moistened.

"Uuuuu...Brother Pingan, where did you go?" Lu Linglong plunged into Lu Pingan's arms and started crying.

Lu Ping'an disappeared from the Lu's family, and others didn't care, but Lu Linglong knew it.

But she dare not ask other people.

In this way, she waited and waited, but she didn't wait until Lu Ping'an came back.

This was the case on the second day, and the same on the third day.

Slowly, Lu Linglong began to wonder if Lu Pingan was dead.

Whenever thinking of this possibility, Lu Linglong was terribly afraid.

Until then, the rock hanging in her heart was considered to have fallen to the ground.

"Don't cry, Linglong, brother, isn't that good." Lu Ping'an comforted Lu Linglong gently touching Lu Linglong's forehead.

"Brother Ping An, Grandpa is leaving the customs tonight. Let's go to Huxin Island now and let him be fair to you!" Lu Linglong said, pulling up Lu Ping's sleeve and going out.

"Forget it, Linglong, Patriarch is busy with his business, and I can't delay the blood test tomorrow because of my own business." Lu Ping'an knew very well that for the sake of the overall situation, even if Lu Songyin knew that he had been wronged, he would not treat Lu Tianwang. Kind of.

"I don't care! Brother Ping An is a genius of the Lu family, and your business is the biggest thing in the Lu family!" Lu Linglong pouted her mouth and said angrily.

"Go, Master, you didn't make a mistake originally, and Elder Tianwang clearly wronged you." Uncle Bai also persuaded from the side.

The old man naturally knew better than anyone whether Lu Pingan secretly practiced "The Dragon Sparrow Shakes the Nerves".

For a cultivator, the pain and shock of being abolished cultivation base is extremely huge, second only to the loss of life and the death of relatives, this matter must not be forgotten!

"Oh, yes, let me do it." Lu Ping'an shook his head helplessly. He couldn't tell the truth now, so he had to reluctantly agree.

Taihe Lake, Lake Island.

This is the place where the Lu family’s head retreats and cultivates. You can't get close to other people. Usually there is only one personal attendant rowing a boat between the two sides of the strait, responsible for sending some food and clothing, and conveying important events and decisions in the family.

But today, Huxin Island is particularly lively.

Headed by the law enforcement elder Lu Tianwang, a dozen or so members of the fifteenth generation of the Lu family boarded ashore and waited outside a small cave on the island.

The entrance of the cave was covered by a delicately woven grass curtain, and Lu Songyin's personal attendant who was born deaf and mute was standing by the cave.

At this time, the sun was setting and the sky was getting darker, but the inside of the cave was faintly shining with colorful brilliance, which seemed mysterious and unusual.

Finally, as a strong wind blew, the grass curtain blocking the entrance of the cave was blown up, and then a burly old man walked out of the cave slowly.

This person is the current Patriarch of the Lu Family, Lu Songyin, who has reached the second level of Yuanwu Realm, and the strongest of the Lu Family today!

Although the old man's face was slightly wrinkled, his white hair was full of blue and black, and he had returned to the basics!

In fact, Lu Songyin is already 156 years old this year, but for a Yuanwu realm cultivator who has lived for 300 years, this age is nothing.

"Congratulations to Patriarch for leaving!"

"Congratulations, Patriarch's great achievement!"

...

Seeing Lu Songyin's appearance, Lu Tianwang immediately bowed his head, and everyone else followed suit.

Lu Songyin looked indifferent, waved his hand and said, "Well, I call you all over today, mainly to meet you, and by the way, arrange the blood test tomorrow."

"To the Patriarch, the Blood Spirit Monument has been set up, and all the clan and branch have been notified." Lu Tianwang stepped forward and said.

"Well, good!" Lu Songyin nodded with satisfaction, "Tianwang, thanks to you this year."

Before Lu Songyin became the head of the family, he was not a direct descendant of the Lu family. In addition, his purpose of competing for the position of the head of the family back then was mainly to obtain the treasure dragon bird sword handed down from the family, so he didn't care about matters in the family.

It is naturally best for Lu Tianwang to complete these trivial tasks for him.

"It is an honor for my nephew to be able to share the worries for the owner of the family." Lu Tianwang replied respectfully, without inviting any credit. "By the way, Qianqiu sent a letter to the Flying Pigeon this morning, saying that he has arrived at the National Education Institute."

"Respond to him, telling him to guard against arrogance and rashness, and not to be complacent."

When Lu Tianwang mentioned Lu Qianqiu, a wave of waves finally appeared on Lu Songyin's face.

Although he has never cared about the cultivation of the younger generation in his clan, Lu Qianqiu is an exception.

The light of this young man is too dazzling, and it will be a big help for him in the future to catch up with Lu Tianbo.

"grandfather!"

At this moment, a young voice came from the lake.

Lu Songyin turned his eyes and saw a small figure swaying on the boat. That was the little granddaughter he hadn't seen in a year, and is now becoming more and more lovely.

At this moment, Lu Songyin's face couldn't help showing a kind smile.

"Ok?"

However, the next moment, when he saw Lu Pingan who was standing behind Lu Linglong, the smile on Lu Songyin's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a gloomy color.
