low-key is king

Chapter 746 Don't You Want Mother?
Crescent Restaurant!

The birthday party was still going on, everyone was in a good mood, and the host and guests enjoyed themselves at the main table. Even the bigwigs from the upper five realms were full of praise for the dishes of the New Moon Restaurant.

"Over there in the palace, you should have received news from here, right?"

Wan Mingli, the leader of the Ten Thousand Nations Business Alliance, glanced somewhere outside the door, and suddenly said something with a smile, which made everyone startled for a moment, and then all of them smiled.

"Hey, maybe the sum of all of us can't compare to a tenth-level black killing order!"

Gu Hetong, the owner of Tingxin Building, also said half-jokingly, which reminded everyone of a past event in the past, and the smile on his face couldn't help but become more intense.

"Lu Xun, who are you going to use that tenth-level black killing order against?"

Gao Yuansheng, the dean of the Chess Academy, asked, and everyone in the hall pricked up their ears, and many people even heard Gao Yuansheng's meaning.

Anyone can see that Lu Xun must have some grudges against Long Zhijun marrying Xuan Tiangao and becoming the concubine of Daxuan, so a tenth-level black killing order can make a big fuss.

In fact, Gao Yuansheng was a little worried in his heart, worried that Lu would find a muscle and insisted on confronting the Daxuan royal family head-on. If he really did that with the tenth-level black killing order, then the two would really be irreconcilable.

In Gao Yuansheng's view, the matter is far from that point, and besides, Long Zhijun did agree to it himself, maybe he just took a fancy to the position of the imperial concubine and wanted to climb the dragon and become the phoenix.

That being the case, why should you, Lu Xun, be so persistent.

The background of the Daxuan royal family is beyond anyone's imagination. Even the teachers of the upper five realms of the Liberal Arts Academy are quite afraid, not to mention that there are only a few on Lu Xun's side.

And these few may not really help Lu Xun to achieve the ultimate. Among other things, Ouyang Shu and Kong Qifang, the friendship with Lu Xun cannot be said to be too deep.

Don't look at the smiling and smiling people in the New Moon Restaurant at the moment, there are seven powerhouses of the upper and fifth realms, but when encountering some strong opponents, there are probably only two people from the Chess Academy who can help without hesitation.

Even Yu Chongxiao's attitude is a little uncertain. The prosperity of Xinyue Restaurant today is actually just an illusion of prosperity.

You, Lu Xun, can't take all of these as something that will definitely help you.

"Dean Gao, the tenth-level black killing order is a congratulatory gift for Ling'er, why are you asking me?"

Just when Gao Yuansheng was thinking about how to persuade Lu Xun, he unexpectedly said such a sentence from the mouth of the boy in black, which made him stunned for a moment.

In fact, everyone ignored this issue. They always thought that Linger's things belonged to Lu Xun, but after hearing what the latter said, it seemed that all the gifts received today were Lu Linger's private property.

"Ling'er, you have to put away the black killing order. Whoever dares to bully you in the future will have his head removed!"

Lu Xun didn't care about the strange eyes of the audience, but said something serious to Lu Linger, which made the latter nod his head heavily, and made everyone feel emotional.

Gao Yuansheng heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that Lu Xun did not intend to make a fuss about the black killing order, nor did he think that he would really break the face with the Daxuan royal family. After all, this little guy still knows how to measure.

Especially after Gao Yuansheng saw Lu Xun glance towards him, he completely understood the other party's thoughts.

This kid is young, but his actions are much more sophisticated than these old guys.

In fact, Lu Xun didn't know what Gao Yuansheng was thinking. It's possible to pull a tiger's skin to make a big banner, but when it really comes to a desperate moment, one person in the field counts as one. If you don't hesitate, I'm afraid everyone I can count on one hand.

This also includes the younger generation, those who have reached the upper five realms. Although their strength is tyrannical, they must also think a lot.

After all, it is not easy for them to cultivate to such a level, and no one wants to waste years of cultivation in vain.

Lu Xun, who has reincarnated forever, naturally understands this truth very well.

Not to mention outsiders like Ouyang Shu Wan Mingli who are relatively far away, even Gao Yuansheng and Gui Dongnan would not let the other party risk their lives unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Oh, it's a pity that neither father nor grandparents are here, otherwise my ninth birthday would be complete!"

After a while, Lu Linger suddenly became a little melancholy, and these words made the Lu brothers and sisters fall silent, obviously thinking of the accident that happened in Zhendong Prince's Mansion back then.

If it wasn't for that accident, Lu Ling'er would still be the little princess of Zhendong Prince's Mansion, living a carefree life.

It's a pity that Lu Ling'er, who suffered from blood exhaustion once his blood was taken away, could not live for more than a year. Luckily, Lu Xun returned, and his life lasted for two years.

Later, relying on the blood coagulation stone, Lu Linger was able to live for another year, but now, there is still less than one year left.

That is to say, within this year, if Lu Xun can't find another way, Lu Ling'er will not be able to practice the Changchun Art of Immortality in Changchun Palace, and it is almost impossible for the latter to have another birthday.

The disease of blood exhaustion will only become more and more serious. The more powerful the methods you use in the early stage, the more difficult it will be for you to use any methods in the later stage. This is Lu Linger's current situation.

Hearing the little girl's words, Lu Xun couldn't help but feel a little tangled in his heart. He secretly thought that if Lu Linger still died in the end, it might not be a good thing for the latter.

Obviously Linger misses her father and grandparents. Compared with Lu Xun, who has been missing for ten years, Linger has a closer relationship with those three. They have been taking care of her for many years.

"Hehe, Ling'er only thinks about her father and grandparents, don't she miss her mother?"

However, just as Lu Linger's voice fell, and Lu Xun wanted to find something to comfort him, a chuckle suddenly came from outside the Xinyue Restaurant, which attracted everyone's attention.

Looking at it, I saw two graceful figures walking in hand in hand from the door, even without the consent of the master Lu Xun, possessing an extremely powerful aura.

Those two looked like master and servant, and the one walking in front was a woman in Tsing Yi, about 20 years old.

On the extremely beautiful face, there was a hint of arrogance that couldn't be concealed, and there was also a faint coldness.

As for the girl who looked like a maid at the side and rear, she was holding a tray with a red cloth covering it. Judging from the appearance of the two, they really seemed to come to celebrate Lu Ling'er's birthday.

However, when some people turned their eyes to Lu Linger, they saw that the little girl's face suddenly became extremely pale.

His upper teeth bit his lower lip, and his small eyes were filled with extremely complicated emotions.

Because of blood exhaustion, Lu Linger's face has always been pale, but today because she was happy, she drank some fruit wine, and there was still a hint of blush in her pallor.

But at this moment, Lu Linger couldn't see any blood on her face, and her body trembled slightly, as if she could fall on her back at any time, which made everyone a little worried.

Lu Xun, who was next to him, quickly reached out and grabbed Lu Linger's shoulder.

It wasn't until the second uncle's arm approached her that the little girl stopped trembling, but the blush on her face never came back.

"Ling'er, I haven't seen you for a few years. You don't seem very happy to see your mother?"

Just when something flashed in Lu Xun's mind, the woman in the green skirt spoke again, and this time the meaning of the words made everyone in the hall know the identity of this person.

It's just that most people don't know much about the tragedy that happened in Zhendong Palace back then, but people like Xuan Shisan Kong Xinyue have heard about it from Lu Xun.

Back then when Lu Linger was six years old, it was that cruel mother who emptied her whole body of blood in one fell swoop, making her look like she is now in a situation where life would be worse than death, and she needs to hang herself constantly.

Just this thought made the few of them lose all their affection for that woman.

They couldn't even imagine, how could such a cruel mother do such a thing to her own daughter?

"Liu Qinghan?"

Lu Xun stood up slowly, and protected Lu Linger behind him. Even so, he could still feel the little girl's trembling, so he asked in a deep voice.

"Liu Qinghan? That saint from Luoyou Mountain?"

Suddenly hearing Lu Xun call out this name, the hearts of the big bosses at the main table moved. Obviously, they had heard of this name before, and knew that the other party was a once-in-a-century genius in Luo Youshan.

Moreover, it is said that Liu Qinghan is also a natal sword master in the Nascent Soul Realm, possessing two natal flying swords with astonishing lethality. In the same realm, it is almost impossible to find any opponent.

It's just that Yu Chongxiao Gao Yuansheng and the others don't know that the Luoyoushan saintess has such a relationship with Lu Xun's uncle and nephew. Isn't this Lu family a small royal family of Xuanyang Kingdom?

The identity of the Saintess of Luoyou Mountain is far from that of the son of the Zhendong Prince's Mansion. How did the two meet?

"Could it be because of Lu Linger's blood?"

The minds of these experts in the upper five realms are extremely fast, and they can guess the truth in just one guess. Although this kind of thing is rare, it is not unheard of in the fairy gate on the mountain.

It's just that thinking that Lu Ling'er is Liu Qinghan's biological daughter, and doing such a thing again, it would be contemptible, and the faces of several big bosses showed a look of surprise.

"You should be Lu Xun, you have worked hard to take care of Ling'er these few years!"

The person who came was Liu Qinghan, the Saintess of Luoyou Mountain. At this moment, she finally turned her gaze to the boy in black. Although she said words of thanks, no one could hear the slightest hint of gratitude.

"But in the final analysis, you are just Ling'er's second uncle. Now that my own mother is here, you shouldn't have any objections to taking her to Luoyou Mountain, right?"

Without waiting for Lu Xun to speak, Liu Qinghan said something again, which undoubtedly changed the faces of Lu's uncles and nephews.

Could this be the real purpose of Liu Qinghan's uninvited visit today?
