Chapter One Fortunately, the Kidney Is Still There

Noon.

In the pavilion within the courtyard, Lu Shui suddenly woke up.

He was a little confused. He should have been in the secret chamber, so how did he end up outside?

Did that person blow up his secret chamber again?

He quickly dismissed the thought. If the secret chamber had been blown up, he would have definitely noticed. But this time, he truly felt nothing.

As he was about to check if he was injured, a piece of paper in his hand suddenly fell onto the stone table.

Lu Shui glanced at it curiously and exclaimed in surprise:

"A marriage contract? What is this?"

He then checked the contents:

"A marriage contract between Lu Shui and Mu Xue? Isn't this something from a long time ago?"

Although it was strange, Lu Shui was no longer surprised. Instead, he decided to sort things out. First, he took out his phone. It was an ancient imitation phone, and it felt somewhat unfamiliar.

"The time is wrong. I'll go online to check, to prevent someone from defrauding me."

Lu Shui opened a webpage. He was going to proofread the time on the webpage.

However, the loading was a bit slow:

"Looking at this internet speed, I'm starting to believe it."

His home was located in a very remote area, so remote it was off the world map.

His family's old undying was also stubborn. Times had changed, but he wasn't allowed to keep up with the times. When others were already using 8G, they were still stuck with 2G.

The 2G was something he had fought for, through crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.

After a long while, the time proofread successfully. The time displayed by the phone was correct.

After confirming, Lu Shui put his phone aside and looked at the marriage contract, saying:

"So, I've been reborn?"

Rebirth didn't make Lu Shui happy because he had no idea how he had returned.

The unknown made things troublesome.

Without overthinking, Lu Shui decided to go outside and see, to confirm if he had truly been reborn.

Just as he stood up, he suddenly clutched his waist and sat back down:

"What's going on? Why does my waist hurt so much?"

He opened his clothes to check and found a scar on his waist. Although medicine had been applied, it had not yet healed.

"It shouldn't be that I was short of money and they cut it out, right? That's unlikely, unlikely. I'm a young master, after all." Because it had been too long, Lu Shui couldn't remember ever injuring his waist.

However, he still remembered that he was the Young Master of the Lu Family. The Lu Family was not a declining family, so he couldn't imagine the young master cutting out his kidney for a little money.

As he was about to recall, a maid suddenly approached the pavilion respectfully and said:

"Young Master."

Lu Shui glanced at the maid, not remembering who she was.

It didn't matter.

"Speak."

Qi Xi was a little surprised by the young master's brief way of speaking, but she immediately said:

"The Third Elder is looking for you, Young Master. He hopes you'll go over."

Lu Shui smiled slightly, thinking to himself: "One of the Three Giants."

Then Lu Shui looked at Qi Xi and said:

"Did he say what it was about?"

As he spoke, he stood up and walked out of the courtyard.

As for the injury on his body, he gritted his teeth in pain, but since there were outsiders, he still needed to maintain the stance of a young master.

Qi Xi followed behind him respectfully:

"I heard from the Third Elder that it's about the matter of you getting injured while descending the mountain to exorcise demons a few days ago."

She paused, then added:

"The Third Elder is a little angry."

Lu Shui walked ahead, the corners of his mouth curving slightly. He finally remembered how he got injured.

So, he had failed to exorcise the demon and was instead injured by a demon.

And it was just an ordinary demon.

As the only male descendant in the clan, being so incompetent, it was only natural for the Three Giants to be angry.

This time, they were directly coming to question him.

Tsk tsk, he suffered a lot back then.

This kind of minor injury wasn't for discipline; he would have been fine long ago.

Sensing his own weakness, Lu Shui gained another piece of evidence that he was reborn.

Lu Shui didn't speak further. Qi Xi followed behind, also silent. She felt something was strange; the Young Master today was different from before.

But she couldn't quite pinpoint how he was different. He seemed more confident.

Not long after, Lu Shui arrived at the Main Hall. Big shots usually met people in the Main Hall.

The Main Hall wasn't just a lobby; it was a magnificent structure. The old antiques in the family liked it this way.

It had a sense of ceremony.

Lu Shui smiled faintly as he looked at the grand Main Hall, then strode up the stone steps.

Qi Xi stopped before the stone steps; she was not allowed to go up.

"You're here?" A Handsome Man at the Main Hall doorway spoke to Lu Shui.

Seeing him, Lu Shui smiled. He must have been reborn:

"Father, are you well? As Always handsome."

His father, Lu Gu, was the current clan leader. He managed a few people in the clan but didn't have much right to speak.

After all, he wasn't yet a Giant Big Shot in the clan.

His father before rebirth wasn't like this. He was much more haggard, the kind who was exhausted mentally and physically.

Lu Gu looked at Lu Shui and sighed:

"When will you ever be serious? Can't you be more promising?"

Lu Shui thought for a moment and said:

"Father, I have a suggestion for you."

Lu Gu frowned:

"What do you want to say?"

He understood his own son. His suggestions were usually unreliable.

Lu Shui looked around, confirmed no one was there, and whispered into Lu Gu's ear:

"While you're still young, make a secondary account with mother. The main account is already crippled."

After speaking, Lu Shui headed into the Main Hall, saving himself from being beaten.

Lu Gu was stunned for a long time before he finally reacted.

But he wasn't angry. Instead, he mused:

"Makes sense."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Shui stumbled. If a younger brother were actually born, his status in the clan would be in jeopardy.

However, this stumble directly sent him into the Main Hall, making it impossible for him to tell his father he was joking.

Upon entering the Main Hall, Lu Shui saw a Middle-aged Man sitting at the head of the hall. This man had a fierce look, as if everyone owed him millions.

Two people stood beside him, one man and one woman, who could be disciples or subordinates.

Lu Shui didn't think too much and respectfully said:

"Greetings, Third Elder."

Third Elder Lu Buzheng, one of the clan's Three Great Powers, was a Super Expert.

Their Lu family was sparsely populated, but their status in the Cultivation World had never changed. The reason was that there were three Big Shots presiding over the clan.

In the early stages, their family was merely a small ant seeking shelter.

Lu Buzheng said sternly:

"Do you know you were wrong?"

Lu Shui shook his head, still respectful:

"Not at all. However, I have a question for the Third Elder."

Lu Buzheng wasn't angry:

"Speak."

"If I descend the mountain and deal with that monster, will I be in the right?" Admitting fault wasn't Lu Shui's style.
