Chapter Thirty-Four Arranges Four Watches

  It's late, thank you.

  "Big brother, what do you mean?" Zhao Hui's face sank, staring at a middle-aged man in a blue long gown who had just appeared.

  "Great Uncle." Lu Shaoyou also gazed at this person, wearing a long robe, with big eyes and a broad forehead, vaguely having an air of heroism about him. His entire body was filled with a vigorous aura, his strength not inferior to Zhao Hui's. He was indeed the eldest of the Lu family, Lu Dong.

  Lu Shao's eyes narrowed as he assessed the old man's strength, which should have reached the Wu Body stage by now. A Wu Body cultivator's power was already considered strong in the entire Lingwu Continent.

  "Brother and sister, do you remember what you promised? Now you want to kill Shao You, what does this mean?" Lu Dong's expression sank slightly as he spoke to Zhao Hui.

  "He killed Zhao San and beat up my maid Xiao Lan. Shouldn't he be punished?" said Zhao Hui.

  "Hmph, Zhao San and that servant girl bullied my mother before she passed away. Doesn't he deserve to die?" Lu Shaoyou said coldly.

  "Brother and sister, I've also heard about Zhao San and Xiao Lan's matter. It was their fault in the first place, and the Lu family will compensate them for it. Let's just leave it at that?" said Lu Dong.

  "Zhao San and Xiao Lan are both people of the Zhao family, can it just end like this? This bastard, today you will definitely die." Zhao Hui gazed at Lu Shao Yu coldly and said.

  "Brother and sister, no matter what, Young Master is still a blood relative of the Lu family. You say he's a hybrid, what do you mean by that? Don't forget, you're now a member of the Lu family, yet you keep mentioning the Zhao family. Does this mean our Lu family isn't worthy of your consideration?" Lu Dong's expression also turned solemn, and he spoke calmly.

  Zhao Hui fell silent for a moment, then gazed coldly at Lu Shaoyou and Luo Lan, saying: "Are you two planning to let this kid acknowledge his ancestors now? Don't forget how you promised me back then."

  "You also don't forget, you promised what, if something happens to Shao Yu, then it can't be said." Lu Dong said.

  "Hmph, let's go." Zhao Hui's face sank, and she immediately turned around and left the courtyard. Zhao Da also left the courtyard with the support of Zhao Er and several servants.

  "It's all right, nothing happened." Lu Dong turned his head and gazed at Roland and Lu Shaoyou.

  "Thank you, sir," Roland said gratefully.

  "This is what I should have done, and you've been wronged. The Lu family owes you a lot." Lu Dong said, his eyes then shifted to focus on Lu Shaoyou's body.

  Lu Shaoyou didn't say much, just listening to what this uncle and Zhao Hui were saying, as if there was something hidden behind their words.

  "Shaoyou, when did you become a martial artist?" Lu Dong gazed at Lu Shaoyou with a hint of scrutiny before speaking.

  "It's been a while, I'd forgotten." Lu Shaoyou said lightly, he didn't have any resistance towards this uncle, and in his memory, he knew that this uncle had taken care of him since he was young.

  "From now on, be more careful and stay at the Lu's house. At least here, there is no external danger. Some things, you may understand later." Lu Dong said to Lu Shaoyou, seemingly guessing that Lu Shaoyou was about to leave.

  "There are some things that I may not understand, but I know who owes us mother and son." Lu Shaoyou said faintly. The previous Lu Shaoyou had already died for the sake of the Lu family, and this debt might be repaid in the future. He himself would also help the previous Lu Shaoyou get it back, as he was using his body, which was his own responsibility.

  "It seems that you have been enduring in silence, so why not continue to endure in silence, it would be more beneficial for you." Lu Dong's face changed slightly, and he said, looking at his nephew who had grown up under his care, as if he felt something was off.

  "Some things can't be tolerated." Lu Shaoyou said, looking at his mother being bullied by several slaves, how could he bear it.

  "Alright, I'll leave first. Some things aren't as they seem on the surface. Be more careful yourself and remember, don't leave the Lu family. Someone might be hoping you'd leave the Lu family." With that, Lü Dong let out a sigh and quietly left the courtyard.

  "Shao You, don't leave the Lu family, Father won't harm you." Lu Wushuang said as she arrived at Lu Shao You's side.

  "Alright, sister," said Lu Shaoyou, also making some plans in his mind. It wasn't hard to judge that the Lu family and she had an agreement, she couldn't lay a hand on him, otherwise, he thought, even the previous Lu Shaoyou would have been killed long ago and wouldn't be alive today.

  "Your Highness, what shall we do now?" Lu Xiaobai said.

  "What's the point of doing anything, what's the use of doing anything?" Lu Shaoyou said, and then turned to Luo Lan beside him: "Mother, don't go to the laundry room from now on. Your son can support you. After a while, we'll leave the Lu family far, far away."

  The night had fallen unknowingly for a long time, Lu Shaoyou returned to the room, sat cross-legged, thinking about what to do next in his mind. He had exposed his identity as a martial artist, and he estimated that there would be some changes in the future days.

  But for one's own safety, it is necessary to break through one's strength as soon as possible. Only when the strength is strong can the trouble be solved. Relying on cultivation, it is unknown how many years and months it will take for one's strength to break through, and only relying on alchemy pills can work.

  "I need gold coins, a lot of gold coins to enhance my strength." Lu Shaoyou muttered to himself, his hands still holding over a dozen top-grade pellets. Tomorrow, he should go to the Tianbao Gate to sell them and exchange for some second-grade pellet materials. It was time for him to refine second-grade pellets.

  After everything was decided, Lu Shaoyou immediately sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate. Although this normal cultivation was slow, it was better than nothing, and it was still better than not cultivating at all.

  In a courtyard, Zhao Hui's figure was among them, and there was also Zhao Er. At this time, Zhao Hui's expression had become extremely unpleasant to look at.

  "How is Zhao Da doing?" asked Zhao Hui.

  "Injured too severely, not far from death, just took a dan medicine, managed to save a life, but for future cultivation, estimated impact is huge, without one or two years, estimated can't recover. Miss, are we going to let that little brat off so easily?" Zhao Er said.

  "Hmph, that mongrel is actually a martial artist and has even reached the level of a warrior. All these years, no one discovered it, truly unexpected. This mongrel must die, I absolutely will not allow this mongrel to continue living in this world." Zhao Hui said.

  "But miss, killing that kid would be troublesome. He's already a martial artist now, and if we kill him in the Lu household, it won't be easy. The other people in the Lu household will also find out," Zhao Er said.

  "Send someone to the Zhao's tomorrow and have them come back, inform the clan about what happened here. The clan will naturally make arrangements unless that kid stays hidden in the Lu household and doesn't come out. Otherwise... humph!" Zhao Hui's eyes gleamed with a fierce light, she absolutely wouldn't let those two get away with it.

  Outside a stone room in Lujia's house, a figure in a long gown appeared outside the room, who was exactly Lu Dong.

  "How's the matter handled?" A somewhat aged voice came out from the stone room.

  "Father, it turns out that Shao You is a martial artist and has even reached the level of a warrior. As for other things, I estimate there won't be too much of a problem in broad daylight, but as for what's hidden, who knows?" said Lu Dong.

  In the stone room, there was no sound for a long time. After a while, that somewhat aged voice spoke again: "It's actually a martial artist, it seems that Shao You has been hiding for a long time. He knows how to endure and hide his strength, not bad. I reckon he has some opportunities on his side. The Lu family owes him and his mother a lot, now, I'm afraid he is even more in danger."
