"My mother became ill from missing her, and her beauty died young."
"My father took me into the palace and I became the prince. Then I had a brother who had died many years ago and I had never met him. I was also at risk of being assassinated and killed at any time."
"Since that year, there has been a shadow chasing me."
"That was the malice from Queen Lu Zhao."
"She once wiped out my brother's life with a casual attitude, and she may wipe out my life in the future."
"From that moment on, I kept running and trying to escape from that shadow, but I could never escape."
"Even in my nightmares, the faceless queen looked so scary that it gave me chills every time."
"I don't even know how many other descendants my father has secretly raised outside the palace besides me."
"I am the prince of the royal family and will inherit the throne in the future. But who knows, when my father dies, a brother I have never met will step out of the shadows and inherit the throne in my place?"
When Lu Yu said this, his expression was bitter and a hint of helplessness appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"To be honest, I am not afraid of such a scene. I even look forward to it. I hope that there will really be a brother to take over my position."
"I have always been thinking, if there really is a brother hiding in the dark, practicing silently, becoming the world's number one cultivator, or being secretly trained by my father to become a top strategist, and replace me as the King of Zhenbei, how great it would be to beat Lu Zhao to pieces."
"But unfortunately, this scene that I have imagined countless times has never come true."
"My father really has no other offspring besides me."
"Fortunately, I survived in the end. Although I have encountered many attacks and assassinations since I was a child, I am still lucky enough to live to this age and inherit my father's title."
"But I am not the father. I am just the youngest son of the King of Zhenbei, and a youngest son whose origins are unknown."
"Lu Zhao didn't dare to attack my father, but after my father passed away, she had no qualms about attacking me, the new King of Zhenbei."
"Besides, my father has passed away. I can no longer hide under his wings. The evil shadow that has been chasing me since I was a child has finally appeared in front of me."
"There is no longer any barrier between me and this shadow. I must face Lu Zhao alone, and face this terrifying mad dragon that I have seen countless times in nightmares."
Lu Yu raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him.
His eyes were complicated and melancholy.
"So Uncle Feng, do you understand? I didn't do this on impulse, nor do I have any ill intentions."
"If I must say, I have made up my mind since the day I entered Zhenbei Palace when I was eight years old and knew my identity and situation."
"A determination to kill Lu Zhao."
Lu Yu said slowly: "In my short life of more than 40 years, I have been in a state of embarrassment, panic and fear. I have been as cautious as a frightened bird, treading on thin ice with every step, and not daring to indulge myself in the slightest."
"The shadow of this mad dragon has been chasing me for too many years. I have lived for more than 40 years, but in the end, I am nothing more than a deserter who fled in a panic."
"In forty years, I have never had a good night's sleep, and I have never been truly happy for a single day."
"Uncle Feng said that Lu Zhao is about to die, but who can guarantee that she will really die?"
"She has been living for too long relying on ancient evil magic, and even covets the path to immortality. Who can guarantee that she won't really be immortal?"
Lu Yu said: "I don't dare to gamble, nor do I want to gamble."
"I have fled cautiously and fearfully until today, and finally have come to this point, about to succeed. I hope I can kill this crazy dragon with my own hands, rather than betting my hopes on her failure..."
When Lu Yu said this, he let out a long breath and slumped down in his chair.
It seemed as if I had finally said what I had been holding in my heart for decades, feeling relaxed and tired.
Looking at the little prince like this, the old man had complicated eyes.
He was silent for a while, and finally spoke slowly.
"But you killed Mr. Minghan..."
Feng Bulie said this with a struggling look in his eyes: "Mr. Minghan has been very kind to you and is your mentor! But you sent someone to assassinate him!"
The old man gritted his teeth and said, "You want to kill Lu Zhao, I can understand, and I support you, because I also want to kill that crazy woman."
"But what does your desire to kill Lu Zhao have to do with your assassination of Mr. Minghan?"
"Mr. Minghan is about to die of old age, and you let him suffer such misfortune in his later years!"
The old man looked angry and said, "No matter what excuse you make up, I cannot approve of you for just this one reason!"
The angry old man's eyes seemed to be about to spit fire.
Exhausted Lu Yu looked at the old man, smiled bitterly and said.
"Uncle Feng's reaction was exactly as I expected... Indeed, I killed my mentor and lost all conscience. No matter how good the excuse is, it can't cover up my crime."
"I won't defend myself. It's reasonable for Uncle Feng to be angry."
"But I will not accept punishment obediently."
"Uncle Feng taught me many things since I was young, and I never evaded his punishments. But this time, I am going to disobey him."
Lu Yu looked at the furious old man and said slowly.
"If Uncle Feng could just be angry... that would be the best."
Lu Yu looked pleading.
But Feng Bulie sneered and said, "If I am not only angry but also want to punish you, will you let your minions kill me? Just like you did to Mr. Minghan? Everyone who stands in your way must die?"
As the old man finished speaking, several figures emerged silently in the courtyard.
Looking at the emergence of these figures, Lu Yu sighed deeply and said.
"Uncle Feng, you are too kind. How dare I harm your life?"
"Hurting Master is the biggest sin I have committed in my life, and I will not make the same mistake again. Xiao Yu just wants you to calm down for a while, and wait until everything is settled and Lu Zhao, the mad dragon, is executed, and then I will ask you to come out."
After Lu Yu finished speaking, Feng Bulie had no intention of surrendering.
He looked at the Taixu masters in front of him, some familiar and some unfamiliar, and sneered.
"You have found a group of powerful guys, but you think you can capture me without making any noise just by relying on these guys? You really underestimate your uncle Feng!"
Feng Bulie was full of murderous intent and confidence.
Facing this notorious and most vicious warrior in the North, Lu Yu sighed.
It was indeed as Feng Bulie said. Although the people present were all masters of the time, it was still somewhat difficult to capture Feng Bulie without alerting the outside world.
Lu Yu looked at Shen Qingchen, whose white hair was disheveled, and said, "Please help, Fairy Shen..."
Shen Qingchen glanced at the white-haired warrior and nodded.
He bowed towards the void in front of him and spoke in a low voice.
"Sister, the Northern warriors are very powerful, so I have no choice but to ask you to help..."
The next moment, the void parted.
The unique vast aura of Taixu Fairyland surged out.
A graceful figure walked out slowly.
Looking at the white-haired old man in front of him, Shen Qingxuan, whose figure was almost translucent, nodded slowly.
"Okay, you guys step back..."
Without any extra words, the fairy in white who suddenly appeared simply ordered everyone to step back and face the notorious northern warrior alone.
Feng Bulie looked at the fairy in white who suddenly appeared in front of him, feeling the vast aura unique to the Taixu Fairyland. Suddenly he thought of something, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
"You are the inner demon that Xiaoyi mentioned..."
The courtyard suddenly became dead silent.
All sounds were stripped away, as if they were instantly out of the world...
