A piece of bad news, a piece of good news.
Lu Li, Lu Ling, and Lu Feixue both felt a little uncomfortable, especially since Lu Ling had deep feelings for his mother. In her memory, her mother was very beautiful, very gentle and loving. She had been remembering her mother for more than ten years, but she never expected that it would end like this.
Of course, Lu Ling was actually somewhat mentally prepared. After all, her mother was already weak and might die at any time. Over the years, she had only had a little extravagant hope, hoping that Lu Renhuang could save her mother.
Lu Ling felt bad all over. He stayed in the room alone, didn't eat or talk, and was half asleep and half awake all day long.
She has lived a very hard life in recent years, and she has been under great pressure inside. She is always scheming against others, and is also guarding against being plotted by others. At this moment, she unlocked the memory seal and returned to the Northern Desert to get such news, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
She has always been a very strong person. She was almost raped in the Dillon tribe and stayed alone in the mountains for several days before crawling back home. She didn't shed a single tear, didn't say anything to Lu Li, and suffered in silence alone.
Therefore, she locked herself in her room at this moment, just because she didn't want outsiders to see her vulnerability and her depression and pain.
Lu Li didn't know what he was feeling in his heart. If Lu Renhuang could show up, maybe everyone would feel better. Now Lu Renhuang is nowhere to be found, and his mother has died long ago. This makes Lu Li, who was full of hope, very disappointed and lost.
He had some vague guesses. There must be a reason why Lu Renhuang didn't show up. Maybe he went back to Zhongzhou alone to visit Lu Zhengyang. It is also possible that he went to find his old enemies and avenge his mother.
However, as long as Lu Renhuang comes out, there will always be a day when we meet.
Lu Li forced himself to cheer up. Lu Ling seemed to be ill, and Lu Feixue was extremely depressed. The family needed him to support her. Over the years, he has become accustomed to being strong and supporting others.
He found Madam Yan and did not explain Lu Ling's identity. He just asked her to inform her and not reveal the news of his appearance in the Northern Desert. And asked Ming Yu to launch a secret team to patrol the spies, and only take down the suspicious ones first.
Lu Li didn't say anything about Lu Renhuang. Since Lu Renhuang didn't show up, he naturally wouldn't stupidly announce to the world that Lu Renhuang was out.
He asked an elder of the Qingluan tribe to go to the wilderness to find Meng Shen and others, and told Meng Shen to take the five Jackals to the Tianlong Snow Mountain and hide them, and no news should be spread outside. He also asked Ye Yu to send people to block the entrance and exit of the wilderness. No one is allowed to enter or exit without his order.
Lu Li himself did not leave Luling Emperor City, or even the palace, and stayed with Lu Luli all the time. Lu Ling looked like he was sick, unconscious, half asleep, and occasionally woke up from nightmares when he fell asleep.
Lu Li took care of Lu Ling day and night, and Lu Feixue often came to visit. Both of them felt extremely distressed when they looked at the pale Lu Ling.
After ten days of recuperation, Lu Ling finally recovered. Although his face was still very pale, his inner mood had adjusted.
"Lu Li, don't send people to find father. He will come back to us after finishing his work. News about father must be sealed and no one is allowed to spread it."
Lu Ling explained, Lu Li nodded slightly, he thought so too. Seeing Lu Ling take the initiative to mention this matter, he knew that she had recovered somewhat from her grief, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Ling was stunned for a moment and then said, "Let's go to grandpa's grave in a few days to pay homage."
"OK!"
Lu Li nodded, thought for a while and explained: "Grandpa's grave and the grave of my fifth uncle are now in Qiandao Lake. Back then..."
Lu Li recounted what happened that year. Lu Ling's eyes were full of murderous intent at first, but later she learned that the Bu family leader and warriors who dug up her grandfather's grave had all been killed, and her face looked better.
"such a pity."
Lu Ling sighed heavily and said: "My mother's grave is at the bottom of the abyss. Our strength is too low. We can't even kowtow in front of her grave."
"sister!"
Lu Li pursed his lips and said, "Don't worry, as long as we practice hard, we will be able to go down one day sooner or later."
Seeing Lu Ling closing her eyes tiredly, Lu Li stood up and said, "Sister, you recuperate for a few days first, and then I will take you to Qiandao Lake."
…
Five days later, Lu Li and Lu Ling quietly arrived at Longxiang Mountain on the Blood Demon Island in Qiandao Lake, where the bones of his grandfather, fifth uncle, and other people were buried.
"咴咴~"
Xiaobai returned to his hometown and ran away happily. Lu Li and Lu Ling knelt down respectfully to worship, and Liu Yi quickly knelt down behind them.
All the nearby territory was given to the Liu family, and Longxiang Mountain was always guarded by warriors from the Liu family. In order not to alert these warriors, Lu Li could only send someone to secretly inform Liu Yi to come and make arrangements.
Liu Yi's realm is still not high. She is only at the early stage of the Fate Wheel Realm. It still took a lot of spiritual materials to accumulate, and the condensation of the Fate Wheel failed once.
With Lu Li as a backer, the Liu family is now very prosperous. Not only did they get Luoshen Island, but they also controlled several nearby fourth-level islands. These were given to Liu Yi by Madam Yan, of course for Lu Li's sake.
Liu Yi had met Lu Ling before, but now she felt strange looking at Lu Ling. Because Lu Ling's legs were not only healed, but her realm had also reached the realm of a monarch. The aura of a superior person invisible flowing out of her body made Liu Yi dare not look directly at her.
After paying homage, Lu Ling looked back at Liu Yi and saw that she was still in perfect condition. He looked back at Lu Li but didn't say anything.
At that time, Liu Yi wanted to pursue Lu Li. Lu Ling also joked that it was okay for Liu Yi to be Lu Li's concubine, but not his wife.
"Sister, I lived here for a while. Why don't you stay here for a few days to relax?"
Lu Li pointed to the palace in the distance. Liu Yi had been guarding this palace and cleaning it frequently. Occasionally, he would come to stay for a few days. It was very clean.
"That's fine~"
There were too many people in Lingdi City to move around, so she followed Lu Li back to the castle on the top of the mountain. Liu Yi came over early to make arrangements and drove away the guards, leaving only two maids and a cook.
There were chess pieces placed in the pavilion outside the castle. Lu Li glanced at them and found that they were the ones he had left back then. He and Lu Ling smiled and said, "Sister, let's play a game of chess. My chess skills have improved a little. No. Do you know if I can win you?"
"Haha~"
Lu Ling smiled for the first time in these days. She shook her head slightly and said, "Just stick to the old rules. I'll make you the thirteenth son."
The two walked into the pavilion. Liu Yi personally brought tea to them, and then watched them play chess.
After playing a game of chess for half an hour, Lu Li finally gave up and said, "I'm not going to play anymore. Playing chess with you is just a shame..."
"puff!"
Liu Yi smiled and was about to ask if dinner could be prepared when a figure suddenly floated in the distance. Lu Li frowned and glanced over. When he saw it was Ye Yun, he asked in a serious voice, "What happened? Do you need to go there in person?"
Ye Yu condensed his body in front of Lu Li, cupped his hands and reported: "A few days ago, a volcano erupted in the southeast of the wilderness, and some monsters appeared. After Meng Shen led people there to kill them, they found a connecting passage. He led people in through the passage. After a trip, I found that there is a very large small world inside. It is vast and boundless. I don’t know how big it is yet. There are many monsters in it, which are completely different from the mysterious beasts... "
"Well?"
Lu Li and Lu Ling looked at each other and stood up abruptly. Lu Li waved to Xiao Bai in the distance and said, "Xiao Bai is back, let's go take a look!"
