Chapter 110

After a while, the attendants brought a calling card and a box of gold and silver, and really visited according to the etiquette.

This time Lu Xingzhou didn't put on airs. He let Anuo open the door and said to Huo Xingyuan with a fake smile: "To save your son, the Marquis of Zhenyuan can really bend and stretch. It would be great if you could treat everyone equally..."

The old men and women grabbed a handful of melon seeds, stretched their necks to listen, and watched the courtyard gate close, letting out a regretful sigh.

Lu Xingzhou felt that the cultivation of Melon Sister's temperament was mostly related to the environment she was in...

The door closed, and Huo Xingyuan strode to the stone table in the courtyard. The hateful maid and child were standing honestly behind Lu Xingzhou. Huo Xingyuan glared at them in annoyance, but the maid and child were fiercer than him and glared back in anger.

Lu Xingzhou felt this scene was very cute, but Huo Xingyuan only felt: "Is this the upbringing of your Lu Xingzhou?"

Lu Xingzhou said lightly: "Sorry, my family has no upbringing, after all, my father died early."

"You!"

"Marquis of Zhenyuan, please sit. You're fifty, right? Competing with a little maid and a child, aren't you ashamed?"

Huo Xingyuan took a deep breath and sat opposite him with a blank face.

The attendants quickly put the gold and silver on the table, and Huo Xingyuan said lightly: "I've done what you asked. Are you a little less angry?"

"Marquis of Zhenyuan is joking." Lu Xingzhou laughed: "This is just a greeting gift. As for being less angry, where does that come from?"

Huo Xingyuan was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Lu'er is your brother after all..."

"Stop..." Lu Xingzhou waved his hand: "If you have something to say, say it."

"You and Lu'er had a conflict, and it was only after you had been fighting for a while that the Infant Ghost attacked in the street. This doesn't necessarily mean that Lu'er and the Infant Ghost had prior collusion. On the contrary, it should prove that the two have no collusion, otherwise, with the strength of a third-grade Infant Ghost, he should have been the first to strike, right?"

"Just tell yourself that to fool yourself." Lu Xingzhou sneered: "When brought to the capital, there will inevitably be a soul search. Don't you know whether you have collusion with the Infant Ghost? What's the use of telling me this?"

"We have our own ideas about this. As long as you, as the person involved, indicate that you don't see any tacit understanding between Lu'er and the Infant Ghost, this matter will pass."

Lu Xingzhou smiled: "I'm the victim, and I'm helping the other side speak... What does the Marquis of Zhenyuan think I am, a great saint?"

Huo Xingyuan said lightly: "After this matter, you will return to the family genealogy, and you will have everything that the brothers in the family have. And the family will do its best to protect your future development and give you support and inclination to make up for it... Also, your legs, the family will do its best to treat them."

Lu Xingzhou sneered: "What about Huo Yu's matter?"

Huo Xingyuan was silent for a moment: "As for Little Six's matter, no matter what the inside story is, let bygones be bygones."

Lu Xingzhou looked at him steadily for a long time: "Suddenly so generous, is it because of a discovery of conscience, or because of something else?"

Of course, a large part of the reason was Shen Tang. But Huo Xingyuan didn't say that, just sighed: "Blood is thicker than water after all. Of course, you are promising now, listed on the Newcomer List, and recommended to enter the capital's Alchemy Academy... The family naturally sees it."

Lu Xingzhou looked quite moved and remained silent.

Hearing this, others would also feel that the Huo family was very sincere this time, and the reason was clear: Lu Xingzhou was promising, Huo Yu was not promising, and if the death of Huo Yu could be exchanged for Lu Xingzhou's anger to dissipate and return to the family, that would be a great profit for the Huo family. Not to mention the factor of Shen Tang behind it, which would give the Huo family more room to advance or retreat in the future.

Huo Xingyuan knew that Lu Xingzhou understood, and added: "I asked Little Five to invite you home for dinner that day, and Little Five's attitude was bad. I have already taught him a lesson. Think about it carefully. If you have made up your mind, there will always be a place for you in the family."

Seeing that Lu Xingzhou still didn't respond, Huo Xingyuan felt that he was moved, so he didn't force him, and soon stood up to take his leave: "Let's leave it at that for now... I'm old, and I miss my grandchildren. Don't let your family wait too long."

After speaking, he led the crowd away, just these few words.

After a while, a shadow flashed out of Lu Xingzhou's room like a ghost: "Marquis, I have already obtained Lu Xingzhou's hair."

Huo Xingyuan looked at the hair in his subordinate's hand, pulled out one of his own and handed it over: "Go and verify it."

The subordinate saluted and left, still complaining: "Mixing men's and women's hair together makes it hard for me to pick. If this person is really the Seventh Young Master, he is quite a romantic."

Huo Xingyuan thought of the nasty maid. She was indeed beautiful, but she needed to be trained. He shook his head and strode away.

In the courtyard, Anuo hugged the gold sent by Huo Xingyuan and smiled: "It's just that I've been using a lot of mortal gold and silver recently, and it's not enough. This money is really easy to earn."

Pei Chuyun whispered: "What about the one in the room just now..."

"They are probably taking my hair to verify it." Lu Xingzhou smiled: "Don't worry about it, it's just a bloodline resonance technique. This thing is very vague, not as good as science."

Pei Chuyun didn't understand what science was, but thought he was the real thing, so of course she wasn't afraid of verification, so she said: "With your attitude just now, are you really going back to the Huo family?"

"How is that possible? I'm just teasing him." Lu Xingzhou stretched: "They think I'm useful and want me to go back... Then that idea will make them suffer a big loss."

Pei Chuyun curled her lips. Wasn't she also thinking he was useful and wanted to subdue him, only to be the one to suffer a big loss...

It's just that now, it's hard to say whether it's bad luck or good luck.

Lu Xingzhou said: "The first lunar month is about to pass. Today I am really going to close the door and study alchemy books. Does the little maid want to come and add fragrance to the red sleeves?"

Pei Chuyun hummed: "If I really stay by your side, you won't want to read. Forget it, I'll go out and find people from my sect, and come back in the evening."

Lu Xingzhou nodded and said to Anuo: "Anuo, go to the Demon Suppression Division, find your Sister Yao, and see what arrangements she has for Ye Wufeng's matter. She hasn't moved for the past two days, and I'm a bit worried that she doesn't take it seriously enough and something will go wrong."

Pei Chuyun was turning to go out, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but look back in anger: "And you still say you two are innocent!"

Lu Xingzhou was stunned by her anger, and then laughed: "Hey, do you want to be my private pet? Saintess."

Pei Chuyun's anger froze on her face, she "hummed," and turned away in anger.

Over there, Huo Xingyuan arrived at the Huo family, and Grand Tutor Huo Liancheng and a group of Huo family members were all gathered in the courtyard watching a Daoist priest cast a spell.

Two hairs were entangled together, trembling slightly with the spell. After a while, they turned into ash and melted into one, indistinguishable from each other.

The Daoist priest stood up and saluted: "There is indeed a bloodline connection, no mistake."

The effect of the spell was much more reliable than the unreliable blood-dripping verification of the ancients, and it couldn't be faked. It's a pity that it was not as precise as modern genetic technology, and Lu Xingzhou had long known that this would be the result.

The Huo family members looked at each other with different expressions, their thoughts unclear.

Huo Liancheng sighed: "In any case, this identity is correct... It's really a sin."

Everyone remained silent, and Huo Xingyuan remained silent.

As a father, he didn't participate in bullying or even beating Huo Shang to death, but his partiality and indulgence were the main factors, including Grand Tutor Huo. And others had more or less participated in the bullying, among whom Huo Qi was the culprit who personally beat Huo Shang to death.

When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent. It's not surprising that Lu Xingzhou hates everyone.

Now that Lu Xingzhou is promising, that's secondary. The key is that he is very strange and can always use various forces to make people unable to start.

In Xiazhou, it was Sheng Yuanyao one moment and Shen Tang the next. When he arrived in Menggui City, he got involved with Meng Guan. This time, his trip to the capital was both a student taking the exam for the Alchemy Academy and the person involved in the Huo Lu demonic cultivator case. He was in the spotlight, and the Emperor was also concerned. Not to mention killing him, even a bad attitude would cause problems, which was extremely frustrating.

If they really wanted to kill him, they would have to wait until he finished his studies at the Alchemy Academy and left the capital. Who knows when that will be... What's annoying is that the entrance exam for the Alchemy Academy this time is particularly difficult to manipulate, and they can't even make him get out early, so he's really stuck here.

While he was in the capital, they could only bite the bullet and try to win him over, even Huo Xingyuan had to give up his face.

Huo Xingyuan was silent for a long time before saying: "In the conversation just now, his bad attitude was only expressed through the maid and the child. His own attitude... is actually not bad."

Huo Qi said: "That's natural. With Father present, would he dare? In the eyes of others, regardless of whether he is reasonable or not, he is always three points unreasonable!"

Huo Liancheng said: "Then what is his attitude towards the proposal of returning?"

"He remained silent, but his attitude seemed to be somewhat moved..." Huo Xingyuan said: "He has done so many things, one is to vent his anger, and the other is to want to get the family's recognition..."

Huo Qi sneered: "It can't be that he wants to overthrow our Huo family."

A sixth-grade cripple... facing a huge family with two first-grades. Indeed, no one in the world would dare to think so.

Huo Liancheng said: "Since that's the case, show more goodwill in the future. You few, if you meet him on the road, don't make things difficult for him again... The situation is not very good now, give him three points."

Several Huo family disciples were a bit unconvinced, but didn't dare to disobey, so they had to agree.

After breaking up with different thoughts, Huo Jin, holding the splint of his dislocated arm, found his eldest brother Huo Qi: "Eldest brother, are we really going to smile and welcome that bastard? I'm not convinced."

Huo Qi's expression was also very ugly. If Huo Shang might reconcile with others, he might not with him, the "enemy of his life." And assuming the Princess rises, Lu Xingzhou rises with her, and if things go wrong, his position might be snatched by him, which would be a pure tragedy.

After thinking for a moment, a fierce look flashed in Huo Qi's eyes: "Little Five, you go and contact the Yama Hall... Ye Wufeng was still in the capital last month. If he assassinates Lu Xingzhou, we may not be very suspicious."

Huo Jin was stunned: "Why? Didn't Father say that in the current situation, no matter who kills Lu Xingzhou, the Emperor might suspect us, so we can't act rashly?"

Huo Qi sneered: "Judging from various information, this bastard may be the former judge of the Yama Hall, and Ye Wufeng is just the rival of the judge. You can contact him first. If he really is, then we can create opportunities for Ye Wufeng. At that time, it will be an internal feud in the Yama Hall, which has nothing to do with us."

…………

Anuo returned to the inn from the Demon Suppression Division. Lu Xingzhou was still reading and asked casually: "How is it, what did Sheng Yuanyao say?"

Anuo scratched her head: "The people at the Demon Suppression Division said that Sister Yao didn't work today and went out to the garden with Pei Yu."

"Garden, garden tour?" Lu Xingzhou was stunned: "Melon Sister has such elegant interests? I really can't tell. Eating Huo Xingyuan's melon at our door this morning was more normal than going to the garden."

Anuo said: "They say it's the spring breeze of February. Young masters and ladies in the capital often organize such garden tours at this time. Sister Yao didn't like to participate much before. I don't know why this time, whether it's Pei Yu's face or what..."

Lu Xingzhou's face became a bit ugly: "She didn't participate much before, and suddenly participated this time... What face does Pei Yu have in front of Melon Sister? She topped him several times that day... Pei Yu, is there also that Chu Qingchen?"

Anuo's heart also jumped: "Could it be that they want to use this opportunity to fish for Ye Wufeng? But the people at the Demon Suppression Division said she didn't bring her subordinates from the Demon Suppression Division."

"It is precisely because they want to create the appearance of a garden tour that they didn't bring them... They think that relying on their own attendants and the strength of Pei Yu and Chu Qingchen themselves is enough to hunt Ye Wufeng." Lu Xingzhou frowned: "Do you know which garden? It seems I have to go and take a look."

"I know, Qingyao Garden in the suburbs." Anuo scratched her head: "According to the standard that Chu Qingchen is also a fourth-grade upper level, it should be no problem, right? Pei Yu is also fourth-grade middle, Sister Yao is also fifth-grade, and they have a bunch of guardians."

"Theoretically so, but I'm uneasy." Lu Xingzhou said: "You must know that Ye Wufeng's rise to the first place on the Newcomer List was a year ago. No one knows what changes have taken place within this year. Judging the strength of characters according to the lagging Newcomer List is the most stupid behavior. People always push others by themselves, thinking that it takes many years for the fourth grade to break through the third grade, but the reason why the Newcomer List is the Newcomer List is that it is a watershed with mediocre people. He really doesn't necessarily need many years."

Anuo also became nervous: "If Ye Wufeng is already third-grade and chooses the right time to strike suddenly, Sister Yao really may not be able to cope. Let's go and see, at least remind Sister Yao."

"It's a coincidence, the little demoness is just going to find people from her sect, missing a big combat power." Lu Xingzhou thought for a while: "That's fine, she has to exert all her strength, it's inevitable that she will leak the Joyous Union mysterious arts in public, so it's better not to go. Let's go first."
