This Is Lu Dongliang

Chu Shaoqiang said that Lu Dongliang was coming soon.

Li Banfeng was trying very hard to suppress his laughter.

In Pro State, the dead can come back to life; Chu Shaoqiang is an example of this.

Some say he died on the Ten Li Wasteland, others say he died at the hands of the Guanfang Hall, and still others say he died in a fight with the Green Water Bow.

There were various theories, but it turns out that all of them were wrong, because Chu Shaoqiang did not die at all.

Could this kind of thing happen to Lu Dongliang?

It might actually seem possible to others.

Chu Shaoqiang said, "Li Qi, you must have received some news about Lu Dongliang. You thought he had been missing for many days and was already dead."

But Lu Dongliang is Ninth Layer Travel Cultivator. Didn't you consider that he's already at the threshold of advancing to the Tenth Layer, and shouldn't he be heading to the Inner State to complete his cultivation?

When he said this, Chu Shaoqiang emphasized several words, but no soap bubbles came out of his mouth.

Is it because these words are true?

Did Chu Shaoqiang really think that was Lu Dongliang?

Could it be that the Peddler's Imported Soap has the function of making people tell the truth?

Chu Shaoqiang continued, "I was also surprised to receive the news that Lu Dongliang was coming to Pro State soon. I had never seen him in Inner State before."

He was once ambushed by Lu Dongjun and Zhuo Yuling, so you might think Lu Dongliang's strength is nothing special.

But in my view, that's precisely what makes him terrifying. I lied about encountering misfortune during the wilderness reclamation and took the opportunity to go to the Inner State for cultivation, which caused a catastrophe for the Chu family.

Lu Dongliang deliberately revealed a flaw, forcing the mole within his family to act, thus exposing the identities of Lu Dongjun, Zhuo Yuling, and others, and also revealing the ambitions of Lu Maoxian's family.

Now that the traitors have been killed one after another, the Lu Family, though injured, is not fundamentally weakened. Lu Dongliang has only claimed to be missing, and with this tactic, he has stabilized the Lu Family's situation. His ability to return openly and legitimately is far superior to what He Haiqin and I have done.

I've fought with Lu Dongliang for half my life, and I truly admire Lu Dongliang wisdom.

If it were anyone else, they would probably join Chu Shaoqiang in praising Lu Dongliang's wisdom.

But Li Banfeng wouldn't, because he did know where Lu Dongliang was.

The corpse was eaten by Red Lotus, the elixir was eaten by Li Banfeng, and the soul was eaten by Wife. Lu Dongliang played a very important role in Li Banfeng's growth.

Lu Dongliang didn't intentionally allow himself to be ambushed by Lu Dongjun and Zhuo Yuling; that attack nearly cost him his life.

It also caused him to lose all his capital.

As for Lu Dongjun, Li Banfeng didn't know how he died.

Zhuo Yuling died at the hands of Li Banfeng; it was her own doing. Lu Maoxian repeatedly schemed against Lu Chunying.

His scheme was exposed by Li Banfeng, and he died at Li Banfeng's hands. This had nothing to do with Lu Dongliang.

The Lu Family has been able to survive until now thanks to Qiu Zhiheng's hard work and the mutual support from Li Qi and Ma Wu. Chu Shaoqiang attributed all of this to Lu Dongliang.

The only thing Chu Shaoqiang was right about was that Lu Dongliang could now return legitimately.

The "Lu Dongliang" who is about to appear must be fake. The purpose of Inner State sending him here may not be just to deal with Yellow Earth Bridge.

Lu Dongliang's influence in Pro State is too great; a fake "Lu Dongliang" could very well change the landscape of Pro State.

After finishing his business, Chu Shaoqiang left. Li Banfeng said thank you very sincerely, because this information was extremely important.

First, Qin Bulou must be informed to prepare. The Lu Dongliang sent by Inner State is an imposter, but his identity is fake. He must be a master, and a battle is inevitable.

Furthermore, others should be notified not to fall for the scam.

First, we must immediately inform Lu Chunying to prepare, and not let "Lu Dongliang" take back the position of head of the family.

I also need to remind He Yuxiu and Chu Er not to form any alliance with "Lu Dongliang".

Other forces also need to be notified, but how should they be notified?

Should we go door-to-door and talk to them?

Doing so would be too tiring, and it would only make things more obvious, making people believe that Lu Dongliang is the real person.

Soon, Li Banfeng came up with a suitable solution.

We need to add some spice to this "Lu Dongliang".

In the back building of Carefree Dock, Luo ZhengNan was in his room, listening to the radio while reclining on a chair.

"Dear listeners, spring is just around the corner. A friendly reminder to those who committed murder last winter: please promptly move any bodies buried in the snow."

Buzz! Buzz!

Luo ZhengNan's head trembled. Seeing that it was Li Qi calling, he quickly answered.

"Lao Luo, go to the newspaper office and tell them to run news for several days in a row, saying that someone is impersonating Lu Dongliang and swindling people everywhere. Write a few more cases and make them look convincing."

"Seventh Master, do you have any news material? Let each newspaper write their own, in case there are any mistakes."

Lao Luo's concerns are valid; to ensure news quality, standardized scripts are necessary.

Black Stone Slope is right next to Yellow Earth Bridge, and they're good at making things up out of thin air. "Lao Luo, wait for the Black Stone Slope newspaper to come out first, then Green Water City will follow suit."

At dusk, in Medicine King Gully, Qiu Zhiheng got off the rickshaw and gave the Carriage Driver a stack of banknotes.

This time, he went to various villages to purchase medicinal herbs. The trip was originally scheduled for three days, but because he met this Carriage Driver halfway, he finished the business in less than two days.

Speaking of which, this Carriage Driver was an old acquaintance. Qiu Zhiheng had met him when he went to the Train Station to look for Peddler.

"Brother, with your high level of cultivation, isn't it a bit of a waste of your talents to be a rickshaw puller?"

The Carriage Driver scoffed, "What's wrong with pulling a rickshaw? Isn't it better to live a simple life? Do you have to go out and risk your life to avoid being considered a waste of your talents?"

Qiu Zhiheng didn't say anything more, picked up his bag and went back to the pharmacy. As soon as he entered, his wife greeted him, her face not looking too good. "Zhiheng, didn't you say you'd be back tomorrow?"

Qiu Zhiheng laughed and said, "What do you mean by that? That I came back at the wrong time?"

"This really isn't the right time," the wife said, looking troubled. "We have guests over."

Qiu Zhiheng knew his wife's temperament; she definitely wouldn't do anything shady behind his back.

But why is her attitude so strange today?

His wife beckoned, Qiu Zhiheng bent down to listen to her whisper.

After hearing this, Qiu Zhiheng's expression changed, and he remained stunned for a long time.

"Zhiheng, why don't you go first—"

The wife wanted Qiu Zhiheng to go out and hide for a while, when suddenly she heard someone call out from inside the house, "Little Qiu, you're back!"

It was Lu Dongliang's voice.

Qiu Zhiheng handed the bag to his wife and went into the living room.

A man was sitting on the sofa. When Qiu Zhiheng saw him, he was stunned for a long time.

The man looked at Qiu Zhiheng and said, "What, it's only been a year, and you don't recognize me anymore?"

After a moment of hesitation, Qiu Zhiheng suddenly realized what was happening, smiled, gave a slight bow, and greeted him.

"Mr. Lu."

He didn't call him "Master," which made Lu Dongliang frown.

But Lu Dongliang's brows quickly relaxed. "Although you're no longer the Lu Family's butler, you don't need to be so formal. Calling me Brother Lu would be alright, wouldn't it?"

"Brother Lu," Qiu Zhiheng called out, then sat down opposite Lu Dongliang.

In the past, Qiu Zhiheng would never have dared to sit down without Lu Dongliang's permission, but things are different now.

Lu Dongliang lit a cigarette and said slowly, "You've really had a hard time while I was away. Shaoxia is willful, Yuanshan and Yuanhai don't understand anything, and Dongjun and Third Uncle are causing you trouble every day. It's really not easy to have held on until now."

Now that I'm back, I need someone to help me. Yuanshan and Yuanhai are both in trouble, and Chunying is too young to handle important matters. The only help I can think of is you.

Qiu Zhiheng remained silent.

Lu Dongliang sighed, "Little Qiu, some of the things Shaoxia did before may have really hurt you. I'll apologize to you on her behalf."

"Bamboo, please put in a good word for me and persuade your husband. When we get back to Green Water City, I'll have Shaoxia apologize to you both in person."

Qiu Zhiheng's wife's nickname is Bamboo.

Bamboo looked at Qiu Zhiheng, unsure of what to say.

Does she want to go back to Green Water City?

Of course not!

Despite the size of the Lu Family, it wasn't her home. She and her child couldn't move around freely, or even leave the small building where they lived.

Even inside the small building, there were a lot of rules, and the mother and daughter didn't dare to speak too loudly.

This is different. This is their own family-run pharmacy. Bamboo is the lady of the house. She can say whatever she wants, cook whatever she wants to eat, and the children can play freely inside and outside the house. Neighbors can come to visit.

Putting all these minor details aside, the key thing is that life is looking up now, the pharmacy business is getting better and better, and Qiu Zhiheng even plans to open two branches in Outer Valley.

And now they're being sent back to the Lu Family.

In the Lu Family, the head steward does indeed have a high status, but so what? Isn't he still just a servant?

Bamboo smiled at Lu Dongliang, "Brother Lu, we're actually doing quite well here. Zhiheng is used to living in the countryside, and if he goes to the city, there might be some things he won't be able to do. So we won't cause you any trouble."

Lu Dongliang's face darkened. "Little Qiu, so you're saying you don't want to follow me anymore?"

Qiu Zhiheng nodded slightly and said, "Brother Lu, I'm over forty years old. I can't worry about other people's affairs anymore. I just want to live my own life now."

Lu Dongliang looked at Qiu Zhiheng, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Bamboo laughed and said, "I've been chatting with you guys so much that I haven't prepared dinner yet. Zhiheng, you stay with Brother Lu for a while, I'll go to the kitchen and get a few dishes ready."

In the living room, Qiu Zhiheng and Lu Dongliang remained silent for a long time.

In the kitchen, Bamboo took out about ten boxes of cakes and pastries and kept stuffing them into her mouth.

The Bamboo is less than 1.4 meters tall and weighs over 140 pounds, with a very rounded shape.

She ate a lot, but instead of gaining weight, her body quickly became thinner.

After eating more than a dozen boxes of cakes, Bamboo transformed from a plump woman in her forties into a lean woman in her twenties. Her clothes became loose, and her appearance changed drastically.

Someone unfamiliar with Bamboo would think that this person has nothing to do with Bamboo.

Bamboo arranged a plate of cakes and pastries and brought it to the living room. Lu Dongliang was stunned when he saw such a big change in Bamboo.

He was taken aback. Bamboo put down the cakes and stood next to Qiu Zhiheng, her face also turning gloomy.

The atmosphere in the living room was extremely tense, as if a battle was about to break out at any moment. Suddenly, someone at the front desk shouted, "Why haven't the medicinal herbs I ordered arrived yet? Where is your boss?"

Taking the opportunity, Qiu Zhiheng stood up and said, "Brother Lu, please sit here for a while. Bamboo and I will go out and check on the business."

Lu Dongliang also stood up. "Forget it, I won't disturb your business. If one day you change your mind and want to go to Green Water City, the Lu Family gate will still be open for you."

After saying that, Lu Dongliang left the living room and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Qiu Zhiheng went to the counter and saw Old Xu looking distressed. He asked, "What's going on, Little Qiu? Why haven't the medicinal herbs I ordered arrived yet?"

Qiu Zhiheng laughed. Old Xu had just ordered the medicinal herbs yesterday; how could they arrive today?

Old Xu shouted to let Lu Dongliang know that he was there.

It was because of this shout that Lu Dongliang didn't dare to make things difficult for Qiu Zhiheng anymore.

"Old Xu, I'll deliver the medicinal herbs to your home when they arrive."

Old Xu waved his hand and said, "No need for that. I was just thinking of taking a stroll around town these next couple of days."

Qiu Zhiheng invited Old Xu to stay for dinner, Old Xu politely declined. He turned and left the pharmacy, then walked up to the Carriage Driver and said, "Take me for a spin around."

The Carriage Driver immediately set off, taking Old Xu around Inner Gully.

Old Xu asked, "Someone else has come to Medicine King Gully, and their cultivation level is quite high. Aren't you going to run away?"

The Carriage Driver snorted and said, "Don't mock me. I'll run when I need to, without hesitation. But I reckon this guy won't stay in Medicine King Gully for long."

When Qiu Zhiheng got home, he touched his wife's cheek and laughed, "You really wanted to fight Lu Dongliang just now?"

Bamboo snorted and said, "Can't you tell? That's not Lu Dongliang at all!"

Qiu Zhiheng was stunned for a long time; he really hadn't noticed.

Bamboo said, "He was actually startled when he saw I'd gotten thinner. How could Lu Dongliang be scared? Doesn't he know what kind of Daoist sect I belong to and what level of cultivation I have?"

Qiu Zhiheng felt that Lu Dongliang's reaction just now was normal. "He probably didn't expect you to actually fight him."

"You still don't believe me? That really isn't Lu Dongliang!" Bamboo snorted. "Haven't you read the newspapers these past few days? The news's already everywhere!"

Qiu Zhiheng hasn't been reading the newspaper these past two days; he's been buying medicinal herbs.

Bamboo handed the newspaper to Qiu Zhiheng: "Take a close look. It clearly states here that someone is impersonating Lu Dongliang and swindling people everywhere."

At first, I didn't believe it was true, but now that I've experienced it firsthand, I truly believe it.

"Is it really an imposter?" Qiu Zhiheng was still a little skeptical. He had followed Lu Dongliang for so many years, and the person in front of him just now had no flaws whatsoever.

Bamboo picked up another newspaper and said, "All the newspapers have reports that the person impersonating Lu Dongliang is quite powerful and commits all sorts of evil deeds. He raped the child's father in front of someone's wife. Is that something a human being could do?"

"Did he ruin the child's father?" Qiu Zhiheng was certain that this person was not Lu Dongliang. Lu Dongliang was a womanizer, but not to this extent.

"That guy is no ordinary person," Qiu Zhiheng put down his newspaper. "He was probably after Chunying and Seventh Brother. I have to go to Green Water City. We can't let this guy cause trouble."

Bamboo sat on Qiu Zhiheng's lap, looking at him with a reproachful expression, and said, "Going back to be the Lu Family's housekeeper again?"

Qiu Zhiheng shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not working for anyone else now, I'm just focused on running our family."

Late at night, in Green Water City.

The newsboy was dozing on the street, with three newspapers in his hand. He could only go home after he sold them all.

Lu Dongliang went to the newsboy, bought a copy, and sneered when he saw the message inside.

Is someone impersonating Lu Dongliang to commit fraud?

Who leaked the information?

Lu Dongliang casually tossed the newspaper aside and went to a small courtyard on Han Yuan Street.

Lu Maoxian died, his family property was taken over by the main family, and his children all separated from their families.

Lu Dongchun lives alone in this small courtyard. No one visits her usually, and she rarely goes out.

Hearing someone enter the courtyard, Lu Dongchun lit the oil lamp and came out of the house.

Upon seeing Lu Dongliang standing in the courtyard, Lu Dongchun remained expressionless, but the oil lamp in his hand trembled slightly.

"Big brother, is that you?"

"If it wasn't me, who else could it be?" Lu Dongliang smiled.

Lu Dongchun couldn't believe it, but after looking at it carefully for a while, he felt that he shouldn't have any doubts. While he was struggling with this dilemma, the oil lamp in his hand kept trembling.

Lu Dongliang looked at the simple courtyard and sighed, "How can a young lady of the Lu Family live in a place like this? Pack up and move tomorrow. I've bought you a new house."

"Brother, I am no longer Lu Family." Lu Dongchun's tone was flat, but one could hear the sorrow in it.

"Who said you aren't?"

"Lu Chunying, the head of the Lu Family."

Lu Dongliang frowned and asked, "Does the Lu Family have other patriarchs?"

"But now—"

"No buts. I'm just asking you, does the Lu Family have any other patriarchs?"

"No." Lu Dongchun stopped hesitating and answered very firmly.

Lu Dongliang smiled and said, "I'll pick you up tomorrow."

He turned to leave, but Lu Dongchun suddenly hugged him from behind.

"Don't go, brother, don't go—"

Her expression was blank, and her tone was calm, yet Lu Dongliang could still hear her longing and attachment.

It looks like I won't be able to leave tonight.

It seems that the relationship between these two siblings is quite unusual.

Lu Dongliang really wasn't prepared.

But it seems that some things don't require too much preparation.

But what should I do with Yi Xiu?

In Seven Autumn City, Lu Yuanxin was getting restless.

"Miss, that fake Lu Dongliang is throwing banquets in the Lineage every day and has even publicly announced that Lu Dongchun's status in the Lineage has been restored. We should go back to Green Water City to take a look."

Lu Chunying asked, "What did Madam Duan say?"

"Based on the information we have received so far, Madam Duan has not yet made a statement, and the fake Lu Dongliang has not returned to the Lu Family mansion," Lu Chunying said. "We should do as Seventh Brother said. As long as that fake one hasn't entered the Lu Family, we don't need to pay any attention to him."

Lu Yuanxin: "But I'm worried—"

"Brother Xin, you have to trust me," Lu Chunying said with a smile, "I have a way."

Does Lu Chunying have a solution?

So far, she has no good solution.

If they return to Green Water City, Lu Dongliang will invite her out and then announce in front of the entire clan that he will take back the position of clan leader. But what means will Lu Chunying use to resist?

Beat?

She definitely couldn't beat him. According to Li Qi's deduction, this fake Lu Dongliang's cultivation level was above the clouds. Not to mention she couldn't beat him, even Li Qi couldn't beat him.

Exposing the other party's true colors?

This is difficult.

In front of the Lineage, when the two confronted each other, Lu Dongliang almost never gave Lu Chunying a chance to speak.

Therefore, Lu Chunying cannot return to Green Water City and can only stay in Seven Autumn City.

Will Lu Dongliang chase after Seven Autumn City and make a move against Lu Chunying?

You have to ask the Qiu Luoye, and you also have to ask three thousand Three-Headed People.

Seven Autumn City is Li Qi's base of operations. In this territory, Li Qi is no less powerful than any other expert in the Cloud Realm.

Before Duan Shaoxia allowed Lu Dongliang to enter, Lu Dongliang's identity was not confirmed. Lu Chunying only needed to stay in Seven Autumn City to manage the business and put on an attitude of not arguing with a swindler, and "Lu Dongliang" would be unable to do anything to her.

What is Duan Shaoxia's attitude?

Duan Shaoxia is under a lot of pressure.

"Xiuling, could you go and check again for your sister to see if that Dongliang is really real?"

Zhang Xiuling was speechless. She had attended three banquets, both large and small, in the past few days, and confirmed it three times. "Sister, from my perspective, he really is Lu Dongliang. I really can't see any flaws."

If you don't trust me, go see him in person. If it's inconvenient to meet outside, invite him to your home. He'll be coming back to this house sooner or later anyway.

"No, we can't just let him come!" Duan Shaoxia shook her head repeatedly.

If Lu Dongliang is a fake, she absolutely cannot let him step into the mansion, otherwise her innocence will be ruined.

If Lu Dongliang is real, she must bring Lu Dongliang back to the mansion, and she must also be prepared, because the first thing Lu Dongliang will do upon his return is to kill Zhang Huaiyi.

The real Lu Dongliang would never allow someone of unknown origin to touch his family property, even if that person might be his Shengzi.

How can Duan Shaoxia protect Zhang Huaiyi in front of Lu Dongliang?

She told Lu Dongliang the truth: she used a trick to switch Zhang Huaiyi and Lu Yuanhai, who was in the hospital bed.

Duan Shaoxia really had this impulse; she really wanted to tell the truth.

But upon closer examination, it becomes clear that this approach won't work. How would the real Lu Dongliang handle this matter?

He will kill Zhang Huaiyi and Lu Yuanhai, and leave no one alive who dares to lay a finger on his family's property.

This forced Duan Shaoxia to have only one option: regardless of whether Lu Dongliang was real or not, she could only say he was fake and not let him in.

"But how long can Duan Shaoxia hold on?" He Yuxiu went to Yellow Earth Bridge and found Li Banfeng. "Seventh Brother, I'm a little scared. I was involved in Lu Dongliang's affair back then."

Lu Dongjun is dead, Zhuo Yuling is dead, and Lu Dongliang has now returned from Inner State. He wants revenge.

I reckon they'll be the first one to contact them.

Li Banfeng smiled and said, "Xiu Er, he really isn't Lu Dongliang."

"But so many people say he is, everyone who has seen him says he is!"

Li Banfeng was also curious about this. All the major newspapers had reported it, and everyone knew that someone was impersonating Lu Dongliang to commit fraud, but so many people still fell for it. What was the reason for this?

"Xiu Er, this person is really not Lu Dongliang. I say he isn't, and that's final."

"Seventh Brother— "

"Xiu Er, if you talk back again, I'll have to resort to family discipline."

He Yuxiu didn't dare to make a sound. Li Banfeng estimated that it was about time and told He Yuxiu to wait in the house.

This is the new hotel that Li Banfeng built in Yellow Earth Bridge. He Yuxiu looked around and sighed, "Why build this? Is there any hope for Yellow Earth Bridge?"

He Yuxiu was smoking a cigarette and staring blankly out the window when she saw Li Banfeng lead a man into the room. The man was in his forties, tall and straight, with a thin face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and wearing a Yellow Wool Overcoat.

Upon seeing this person, He Yuxiu spat out the cigarette in her mouth, grabbed a chair, and rushed forward.

"Xiu Er, calm down!" Li Banfeng grabbed "Lu Dongliang" and dodged left and right.

"Seventh Brother, let's fight him!" He Yuxiu shouted. "This is real! His Yellow Wool Overcoat is custom-made in Ingrid; I'm sure I can't be mistaken!"

Two minutes later, Li Banfeng sat in the room, panting as he scolded He Yuxiu: "Xiu Er, you've become quite bold, you don't listen to me anymore?"

I told you this was fake, why did you still hit him? You almost broke such a fine 'Lu Dongliang'!"

He Yuxiu looked ashamed. "Seventh Brother, you did it so realistically. If his voice wasn't different, I really wouldn't have been able to tell the difference."

"If the sound isn't good, we can adjust it again. Please check if there are any other oversights."

He Yuxiu carefully examined him. "Seventh Brother, there are no flaws in his appearance, this is Lu Dongliang."

Li Banfeng was still furious. "Do you think it's easy for me to renovate a hotel? I only finished two rooms, and you smashed one of them!"

He Yuxiu lowered her head and said, "I accept the punishment."

Li Banfeng snorted and said, "I'm not short of money!"

He Yuxiu blushed and said, "Then I'll accept the beating!"

1

Li Banfeng sighed, "Remember this beating for now, let's get down to business."

Do something serious?

He Yuxiu glanced at the bed and said, "I'll tidy it up."

"Don't work here. Go back to Green Water City and make this Lu Dongliang a reality."

He Yuxiu pointed at "Lu Dongliang" and said, "This is a Cantaloupe Person. It's hard to believe you can mistake this for Lu Dongliang. Besides, you don't have Lu Dongliang's blood, so how did you create Cantaloupe Person?"

That's right, this is indeed a Cantaloupe Person, but it wasn't made with Lu Dongliang's blood; it just resembles Lu Dongliang in build.

The Wife covered the Cantaloupe Person with a layer of clay, and after repeated polishing, he became Lu Dongliang whose appearance was completely flawless.

But appearances matter; in terms of inner qualities, Cantaloupe Person and Lu Dongliang are vastly different.

"Xiu Er, this Lu Dongliang is the real one," Li Banfeng said, looking at "Lu Dongliang." "The He Family says he's real, Li Qi says he's real, Ma Wu says he's real, and the Chu family also says he's real."

Lu Chunying said he was telling the truth, Duan Shaoxia had to say he was telling the truth too. The evidence was irrefutable, both in person and in person; this person was the real one!

Green Water City, the Lu Family.

Duan Shaoxia was filled with anxiety and fear, unable to eat or sleep, terrified that Lu Dongliang would suddenly barge into her home.

If he tries to break in, I'll fight him to the death. I absolutely refuse to admit that he's real. I'll risk my life to save my son.

As night fell, a messenger came to announce, "Madam, Qiu Tou has returned."

"Zhiheng!" Duan Shaoxia exclaimed with delight, "Quickly, please invite him in!"

"He didn't come alone; He Yuxiu and Li Qi were with him too."

"He Yuxiu and Li Qi?" Duan Shaoxia hesitated for a moment. "They're also one of us, please invite them in!"

Before long, Qiu Zhiheng, Li Qi, and He Yuxiu entered the mansion. Duan Shaoxia said, "Yu Xiu, Brother Li Qi, please sit here for a while. I have something to say to Zhiheng alone!"

He Yuxiu laughed and said, "Shaoxia, what are you saying? You're talking to a man alone in the middle of the night."

Duan Shaoxia, disregarding the cold, said, "This is a family matter."

Qiu Zhiheng said, "Madam Duan, let's say what we have to say here."

Duan Shaoxia shook her head and said, "Family matters cannot be discussed with outsiders!"

He Yuxiu said, "Shaoxia, I've known about your family's affairs for a long time. You're always showing your face with Zhang Huaiyi, do you think I can't see through it?"

That child is Yuan Hai, isn't he? You used your techniques to switch his soul!

Duan Shaoxia trembled. "He Yuxiu, don't talk nonsense. What soul swap? There's no such thing in this world."

He Yuxiu laughed and said, "Shaoxia, you underestimate me too much. I've been struggling in the martial arts world for so many years..."

Everyone who knows me calls me Sister Xiu. What kind of tricks haven't I seen?

"You used Emotion Cultivator technique, exchanging bones and blood. If the two people are closely related by blood, they can exchange souls. If you still don't admit it, I won't get involved in your family's affairs anymore. Once Lu Dongliang comes back, your son won't be safe!"

Duan Shaoxia looked at He Yuxiu and asked, "Is that Dong Liang real?"

He Yuxiu snorted, "Which one is true, nobody can say for sure. I think the one that can save your son is the real one!"

Duan Shaoxia asked in surprise, "What do you mean by that?"

Li Qi said, "I can send you back a Lu Dongliang. I guarantee that this Lu Dongliang will not kill your son."

Duan Shaoxia didn't understand at first, but after thinking for a long time, she shook her head repeatedly and said, "You're all conspiring to scheme against me!"

Qiu Zhiheng said, "Although I am no longer with the Lu Family, I will never scheme against them. Madam Duan, if you want to protect Yuanhai, this is the only way."

Duan Shaoxia refused no matter what, so He Yuxiu sighed and said, "Shaoxia, go back to your room and rest for a while. I'll talk to you about it alone later."

Duan Shaoxia returned to her room, and He Yuxiu got up to go as well. Li Banfeng lowered his voice and asked, "How are you going to discuss this with her?"

"I learned some skills from You Tao, so I can explain this to them in a bit."

Li Banfeng couldn't understand what special abilities You Tao could have.

Qiu Zhiheng shook his head; he didn't recognize You Tao.

An hour later, Duan Shaoxia came out of the house, tidied her makeup, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's do it your way!"

Li Banfeng smiled.

After leaving the Lu Family, Li Banfeng told Luo ZhengNan, "Tell Lu Chunying that we can return to Green Water City."

In Green Water City, on Xing Qing Road, He Jiaqing bought a newspaper, leaned against the wall and read it for a while, then took out a silver dollar from his pocket and threw it into the begging bowl.

Qi Gong shook the bowl and said, "See? Lu Dongliang is back. Do you think it's true?"

He Jiaqing smiled, "Can't you tell if it's true or not?"

Green Water Bow shook his head. "I really can't tell this time. I think he's the real deal."

He Jiaqing handed the newspaper to Green Flower: "I need to find some time to meet this person; he's very useful to me."

P. S.: Who exactly is this fake Lu Dongliang? Why does he look so real? Why do people always seem conflicted when they see him?
