Why Did Second Brother Look Like Disaster Was About to Strike?

Upon hearing Lu Sheng's question, Lu Yang smiled and introduced, "Grandpa, these are my servants."

The Lu Household members. "????"

The mountain breeze rustled through the trees, making the branches of the old trees outside the courtyard whisper, but the open space was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The entire Lu Household, young and old, were stunned.

It took Lu Sheng a while to come to his senses.

His lips twitched violently a few times, and his gaze involuntarily swept over Wang Da and the others before quickly averting it. "... Servants?!"

He felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

He never expected Lu Yang to introduce him like that.

More importantly, none of those seemingly unfathomable big shots refuted them!

Is he really a servant?

How is that possible?

They watched Lu Yang grow up.

Do they not know Lu Yang's background?

How did we suddenly acquire servants of this caliber?

Lu Yang wasn't too surprised by the shock of the crowd.

Having grown up under the watchful eyes of these elders since childhood, it seems utterly inconceivable that he would suddenly bring back a hundred-foot-long flying boat and Golden Core Realm servant.

However, Lu Yang had already thought about how to explain it to them.

He smiled and said, "It's like this, by fortuitous opportunity I gained the approval of a very powerful expert, who was willing to take me as his disciple. These Golden Core Realm servants, and this flying boat, were all given to me by my master."

"... Golden Core Realm?!"

Lu Xian's voice was off-key.

He originally thought that those cultivators with profound auras were at most Foundation Establishment Realm experts.

So you're telling me you're Golden Core True Person???

And so many of them?!

They're all servants???

The way all the Lu Household cultivators looked at Wang Da and his group immediately changed.

A look of awe appeared in everyone's eyes.

They then turned their attention to the master that Lu Yang had mentioned.

Lu Xuelang blinked, then asked hesitantly, "You took a powerful master as your teacher? A very powerful one?"

Lu Yang nodded. "Yes, very strong."

Liu Qing and Lu Xuelang exchanged a glance. "Around how strong?"

Lu Yang spread his hands innocently. "I don't know exactly how strong he is, but he should be pretty powerful, right?"

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

It wasn't that they didn't trust Lu Yang.

After all, they had watched Lu Yang grow up and knew his personality quite well.

They felt that Lu Yang wouldn't lie to them about something so important.

The problem is, this is too absurd for me to process all at once.

Seeing that everyone was still in shock, Lu Yang understood that they wouldn't be able to accept this so easily in the short term.

Seeing that everyone was still in shock, Lu Yang didn't dwell on it and changed the subject with a smile, "By the way, I also arranged for three servants to protect the Lu Household."

Lu Yang glanced around and said softly, "Come out."

The next moment, to Lu Yang's left, water vapor condensed and formed a human figure made of wriggling water.

The figure gradually materialized, transforming into a middle-aged man with a blank expression.

It was Wang Er.

At the same time, a vine sprouted from the ground beside Wang Er.

The vines intertwined and coalesced, transforming into a human form, revealing the appearance of Wang Si.

However, Wang Wu did not appear.

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow. "Where's Wang Wu?"

Wang Er bowed respectfully, his voice steady. "Reporting to the young master, Wang Wu is protecting Young Master Lu Xiao in Green Creek Market!"

Lu Yang was taken aback, raising an eyebrow. "Big brother? He's in Green Creek Market?"

The Lu Household has four generations, the eldest being Lu Household Lu Sheng, the great-grandfather.

Lu Sheng has four sons with Spirit Roots: his eldest grandfather Lu Xian, second grandfather Lu Shu, third grandfather Lu Yong, and fourth grandfather Lu Yunzhong.

Lu Yunzhong is Lu Yang's biological grandfather.

The Lu Household was thus divided into four branches.

Next are Lu Yang's father's generation: Lu Zimu, Lu Xuelang, Lu Yue, and others.

Then there's Lu Yang's generation.

The one with Spirit Roots in the lineage of my great-grandfather is Lu Xiao, who is also the eldest brother of the Lu Household.

The one in my second grandfather's lineage who possesses Spirit Roots is Lu Cheng, the second eldest brother of the Lu Household.

The one in the third grandfather's lineage who possesses Spirit Roots is Lu Bai, who is also the third brother of the Lu Household.

Lu Yang himself is the sole heir of the four lineages.

Of course, besides cultivators, the Lu Household also has many mortals without Spirit Roots.

The entire Lu Household consists of dozens of people, but only about ten of them are cultivators with Spirit Roots.

After all, even for cultivators, the probability of giving birth to offspring with Spirit Roots is not particularly high.

Of course, this applies to lower-level cultivators.

Children born to high-level cultivators almost always possess Spirit Roots.

However, the higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the more difficult it is for them to have children.

This can be considered a kind of balance in the unseen the Unseen Heavenly Dao.

In order to Cultivation Resources, the cultivators of the Lu Household naturally had to go out and earn Spirit Stones.

Before Lu Yang even went to the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, his elder brother Lu Xiao was already making a living in Green Creek Market.

He vaguely remembered working as a waiter in a restaurant.

However, more than four years have passed, and Lu Yang is not sure if Lu Xiao is still working there.

As Lu Yang was reflecting on these things, Lu Sheng and the others were completely stunned when they saw Wang Er and Wang Si suddenly appear.

They never imagined that their small Lu Household would have two powerful figures secretly protecting them!

And judging from their demeanor, they're probably Golden Core Realm True Person too?

Lu Sheng and the others exchanged glances, feeling a chill run down their spines and goosebumps rise on their skin.

Holy crap...

What merit do we, mere Qi Refining Realm cultivators, possess to deserve the protection of Golden Core True Person?

Lu Sheng seemed to realize something, and he couldn't help but swallow, a flush of excitement appearing on his aged face.

"I was worried that Xiao'er and Zimu hadn't returned from the market for so many days, wondering if they had encountered some danger. Since you are protecting them in secret, I'm sure there won't be any major problems."

After all, several days have passed since Lu Zimu went to Green Creek Market to pick up Lu Xiao, and neither of them has returned yet. It's impossible for him not to be worried at all.

However, since there is Golden Core Realm True Person following behind, there shouldn't be any major problems.

The other elders and cultivators of the Lu Household also breathed a sigh of relief, and their worries dissipated.

There are only so many cultivators in the Lu Household, and they have always had a very good relationship.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang was somewhat puzzled. "Big brother and Zimu have been at the market for several days? What happened to them?"

Lu Xuelang shook his head. "I don't know, but if there's no danger, then it's fine."

Lu Yang didn't think much of it.

His gaze swept around, and he asked, "Why aren't my second and third brothers here either?"

Lu Xuelang suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead, and said, "Oh, I forgot, Xiao Cheng and Xiao Bai took Hongdou to Eastward Prospect Town to play."

Hearing this, Lu Yang's eyes lit up, and he smiled gently, "Little Hongdou? She should be almost nine years old this year, right?"

Lu Hongdou is a descendant of her second grandfather, Lu Shu. Her parents were also cultivators, and quite powerful ones at that. Back then, they earned Spirit Stones by hunting demons.

Unfortunately, one year the Lu Household was Bandit Cultivator, and Lu Hongdou's parents both died in the battle.

The entire Lu Household felt they owed Lu Hongdou a great deal, so Lu Hongdou was pampered and spoiled by the whole family since she was a child, and they never let her suffer the slightest grievance.

Lu Yang and Lu Hongdou originally had a very good relationship.

He remembered that when he first joined the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, Lu Hongdou was only four years old.

The day he left home, Little Hongdou cried so hard that snot and tears streamed down her face, and she clung to his trouser leg, refusing to let go.

Lu Yang had promised her that he would come back to see her every year.

However, the pressure of the entrance exam was just too great at the time.

Before formally joining the family, he never dared to go home, fearing that he would disappoint his parents and relatives.

This delay lasted for more than four years.

I bet Lu Hongdou is really angry with him, right?

A wave of tenderness washed over Lu Yang, and he smiled, "Grandpa, Father, Mother, I'm going to Eastward Prospect Town to look for them!"

Lu Sheng smiled broadly and nodded, "Alright, it's rare for you to come back, you should let them come back and see you. You brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for quite some time."

Lu Yang nodded and turned to head down the mountain.

Just then, a sharp whooshing sound came from the mountain road below.

Everyone looked down the mountain in the direction of the sound.

On the winding gravel path, Lu Cheng's legs were enveloped in a faint, glowing spiritual light as he ran desperately up the mountain.

He was covered in sweat, his clothes were soaked through, his face was pale, and his brows showed clear fear and worry.

Lu Yang paused, looking somewhat bewildered.

Isn't this my second brother?

Why do you look like you're facing imminent disaster?
