Nine Turns of Nirvana

After Lu Yu explained a few more precautions to Xiaozhu about practicing Qigong, he left the inner courtyard and walked towards the old house.

It is said to be an old house. In fact, the word "old" is only a relative term. Under the influence of Lu Tianying, after the Lu family began to rise, each house also branched out and built a new house. Therefore, the original The Lu family mansion naturally became an old residence.

In fact, the buildings here not only do not look old, but also have a solemn feeling.

Walking in these familiar courtyards again, Lu Yu couldn't help but think of the time he used to come here to pay New Year's greetings to his grandfather during the holidays, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of alienation in his heart.

Perhaps, it will be difficult for such a scene to happen again in the future...

"Master Cousin, you are here! Please come this way. The old lady is already waiting for you in the ancestral house."

Lu Yu came outside the courtyard where Mr. Lu lived and was about to call his subordinates to pass the news. Unexpectedly, the instructor responsible for protecting Mr. Lu's safety, Lu Yongfu, took the lead to greet him and said respectfully.

Lu Yu was slightly startled, and then couldn't help but laugh.

Looking at this, grandpa has already guessed his identity to some extent. After all, he knows all the relatives of the Lu family. Now he has recognized his identity as the "young cousin" without any doubt, which shows that He already knew that he could never be as simple as he seemed.

"Thank you." Lu Yu said calmly.

Lu Yongfu couldn't help but take a deep look at the scarred man in front of him. At this time, he had heard every detail of what happened at Wuli Wharf. It was really unimaginable that this humble guy in front of him actually had the ability to make people laugh. The best swordsman in Kyoto has the power to avoid fighting and run away.

He didn't think too deeply about it. He just felt that this person must not be a distant cousin of the Lu family. Otherwise, how could he not have heard of his name for so many years? Instead, he felt that this person must be Master Yu who lived in Dali. A powerful person that Jian Zong met.

However, since the old man recognized the identity of his young cousin, no one else could question this matter.

"Please come with me."

Lu Yongfu bowed slightly and led Lu Yu into the courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, Lu Yu noticed that there was no one in the huge courtyard. It was obvious that his grandfather had transferred all the servants away in advance. This meant that he not only noticed the difference in his identity, but also had a long time ago. He expected that he would come to visit.

Soon, Lu Yongfu led Lu Yu to a tall and elegant building. While still outside the wall, Lu Yongfu stopped in the distance.

"The old man is in the room in front. Mr. Cousin, please go there by yourself. I will keep watch for you outside."

In fact, Lu Yu was very familiar with the terrain here and did not need Lu Yongfu's guidance at all. After hearing this, he was not polite. After thanking him, he walked towards the tall and elegant building.

The door opens.

In the middle of the hall, I saw a waning old man sitting in a wheelchair, his eyes fixed on his face, and his aged eyes were full of eager anticipation.

Lu Yu didn't show any concern, he stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, restored his original appearance, and then prostrated himself in front of the old man.

"Grandpa... Xiaoyu is back to see you!"

"Okay! Okay! Okay..."

Lu Wenyao looked excited and said a string of "good" words in one breath, and muddy tears filled his eyes involuntarily.

"I knew it must be you... Otherwise, there is no relative from our Lu family with the surname Wang, and the two disciples of the Dali Sword Sect who came with you would not be able to obey your words. Attitude……"

Lu Yu secretly said in his heart, as expected, Jiang is still hot with age.

He kowtowed deeply and then said: "Xiao Yu caused a big disaster this time, causing the entire Lu family to be besieged by all the major families. He almost made a big mistake, and even made grandpa worry about his work. He is really guilty. Please Grandpa, punish me!"

On the surface, these words are actually somewhat unnecessary. No matter what, Mr. Lu will never punish the current Lu Yu, but what this shows is Lu Yu's attitude, an attitude of admitting his mistakes.

Recalling the time when Xiang Chen and Bu Yi teamed up to dethrone Qi Hai, and were wrongly accused of molesting the Xiang family's fiancée, it was Grandpa who swallowed his anger and apologized to Xiang and Bu, trying his best to protect himself.

After that, he killed Xiang Chen and fled to the Dali Sword Sect. What was left behind was a mess. You can imagine how the entire Lu family was in panic under the original situation. Grandpa also It took a lot of efforts to get everything back on track.

Therefore, Lu Yu's words came from the bottom of his heart and were extremely sincere.

"Get up!"

Lu Wenyao waved his hand.

"I'm already very happy to see you back safe and sound, so how can I blame you?"

"Besides, if you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person. What are you doing wrong? Since our Lu family has enjoyed the fame and benefits brought by you, it is reasonable to take risks because of it. It is a family matter. , where is the mistake?”

"I didn't say this just because you are now famous. Even when you were not famous, I tried my best to protect you. No matter what, we are all a family. Blood is thicker than water. When a broken bone is connected to a tendon, it should be both prosperous and destructive! Do you understand the truth behind this?"

Obviously, Lu Wenyao's last words were to intercede for the people in the first, second, and fourth houses. He was worried about Lu Yu's young mind. Once he succeeds, he will inevitably lack the courage. He hopes that Lu Yu can put aside the past and sincerely accept the other Lu Yu. The son of the family.

After all, Lu Yu's power now is immeasurable. If he still thinks about the past when the other families occupied the third family, as long as he has a thought, then the children of the other families will be doomed.

What he didn't know was that Lu Yu's mind was now transcendent. How could a person who had seen the vast ocean and the boundless starry sky still care about the fish and shrimp fights in the small fish pond in the past?

"Grandpa, don't worry, I understand this... As long as the uncle, second uncle, and fourth uncle don't deliberately go against our third room in the future, I will never go to them to cause trouble, and I also welcome them to join the third room. Let’s take advantage of the current business and work together to develop the Lu family!”

A relieved smile appeared on Lu Wenyao's face.

"In this case, I will feel relieved."

Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a little in his heart. Looking at him like this, could he be preparing to step down as the clan leader and hand over the burden of the entire Lu family to himself?

As expected, Lu Wenyao continued: "Although our Lu family is very powerful, over the years, we have only produced two truly powerful figures. One is your father. It's a pity that God is jealous of talents, and he died early." Mingjian City...the other one is you..."

"Time is not forgiving, I am getting older day by day... In fact, as early as twenty years ago, I had planned to pass on the position of patriarch to your father. Unfortunately, God did not follow people's wishes, and the white-haired man gave away the black-haired man. Send people..."

"Although the Lu family is prosperous, there is no one who can really take charge of the overall situation. I can't rest assured, so I have been holding on until now. Many elders in the family secretly scolded me for not wanting to leave. In fact, I am just I just want to wait for a truly suitable successor..."

"Now, the wait has finally come, and I finally no longer have to bear the infamy of being in love! Xiaoyu, you are the only one who is the hope of our Lu family's future!"

Lu Yu looked at his grandfather who suddenly became energetic in front of him in astonishment. He had never thought of taking over the position of patriarch of the Lu family. In his heart, all he needed to do was take care of the three-quarter acre of land in his third house. That would be enough for him to hold the position of patriarch. It's something very far away from him.

"Lu Yuanshan came to me a while ago and said that the Wanhe Chamber of Commerce intends to invite us to become shareholders. Do you know why I haven't agreed? It's because I think this matter should be decided by you. Then everyone will I know that the Lu family got a free ride on the Wanhe Chamber of Commerce because they were under your leadership. They will obey you from the bottom of their hearts, and the entire Lu family will become more united and progressive!"

Lu Wenyao said enthusiastically.

Lu Yu was filled with emotion. This was the person who really cared about the Lu family. Until the last moment when he was about to leave office, he still never forgot to make the best plans for the Lu family.

To be fair, perhaps in terms of ability, he is indeed capable of leading the entire Lu family, but he simply cannot do this kind of act of planning for the Lu family all the time.

After all, there are too many things that require him to be distracted. Cultivation, alchemy, development, revenge, saving his mother, and Lao Shizi's Scarlet Moon Demon Cult, each of which consumes a lot of his energy.

At this moment, Lu Yu clearly realized that he was not a suitable candidate for the head of the Lu family. If he took over this position, he might get busy one day and completely forget about the Lu family because of his My energy is limited and I can't take care of it at all.

"No, Grandpa, I can't be the patriarch of the Lu family." Lu Yu decisively refused.

Lu Wenyao's expression froze and he asked in astonishment: "Why?"

Lu Yu answered honestly: "Because I still have many more important things to do, such as avenging my father... If you force me to be the leader of the clan, I may be able to convince the public, but I will definitely not be a competent Lu family member." long."

Lu Wenyao frowned and said, "Being the patriarch of the Lu family does not conflict with avenging your father. Ying is a person who has made outstanding contributions to our Lu family. It is only natural for the Lu family to avenge him!"

Lu Yu shook his head gently: "Grandpa, please forgive me, with the foundation and strength of the Lu family, it is impossible to avenge my father... That's why I have to do more important things!"

Lu Wenyao's body trembled slightly, and he suddenly understood.

At this time, Lu Yu was no longer the child he remembered. After experiencing the experience of the Dali Sword Sect, his vision had already transcended the world.

Perhaps, to this grandson, the Lu family is just a small fish pond, but he is a dragon destined to soar into the sky.

Lu Wenyao felt conflicted in his heart, feeling both relieved and disappointed.

After finally waiting for a genius-level figure to appear in the Lu family, I didn't expect that the Lu family could no longer tolerate him at this time.

"That's it..."

Lu Wenyao had mixed feelings in his heart and was confused.

If Lu Yu refuses to accept it, then whose hands should the position of patriarch of the Lu family be handed over? Where will the entire Lu family go?

Looking at his lost grandfather, Lu Yu couldn't bear it and comforted him: "Grandpa, don't worry. Even if I don't become the head of the Lu family, I will always protect the Lu family. As long as I am here, the Lu family will never decline." !”

"However, for the Lu family to achieve better development, I think it is better for Grandpa to continue to hold this position! Grandpa can spend another twenty years to train a qualified successor for the Lu family, that would be great!"

"Twenty years?"

Lu Wenyao smiled bitterly and sighed: "If there are still twenty years, that would be great! Now my health is getting worse and worse, even sitting in a chair for a long time will make me out of breath. I think it won't be long before I have to meet your father..."

"That may not be the case!"

Lu Yu smiled lightly, and then, in Lu Wenyao's surprised eyes, he took out a pill with a glow from the Qiankun bag.

Suddenly, the dazzling colors bloomed, and the whole room was shining.

"What is this?" Lu Wenyao's eyelids jumped and asked tremblingly.

Lu Yu held up the pill with both hands and presented it respectfully to his grandfather.

"This is the Haoyuan Immortal Beauty Pill, which has the effect of strengthening the complexion and prolonging life. If Grandpa takes it, not to mention a mere twenty years, even thirty or forty years may not be impossible!"
