Thinking Back, I Was the Father of Fortune

"I'm going to exorcise demons. Watch carefully—it might be a little fast."

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling were both a little surprised. Did he think so little of them?

They had to know that their cultivation and Lu Shui's were not on the same level at all. And no matter how fast a Second Tier could be, how fast could he possibly be?

Not to mention that Lu Shui was such a weak Second Tier. It was already Very Difficult for him not to be quickly dealt with.

So they still felt that Lu Shui was merely Bluffing. If he could truly dispatch the demon so quickly, they would eat their swords.

At that moment, Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling saw the demon notice them. It quickly began to growl, then charged toward Lu Shui after only a moment.

It was extremely fast.

Zhen Wu frowned. They discovered that this demon was nearly Second Tier.

Lu Shui had been unable to handle it before, much less this stronger demon.

"Young master, it's almost Second Tier." His meaning was obvious: he was telling Lu Shui not to force himself.

Zhen Ling felt that Zhen Wu had put it too mildly and immediately said:

"Young master, your body is still very weakened. You may not be a match for this demon—"

At that moment, the demon had already pounced at Lu Shui. Lu Shui merely watched it, then reached out and turned the Spirit Sword slightly. Next, he shifted his steps and thrust the sword to the side, letting it leave his hand with the motion.

Just then, the demon happened to leap beside Lu Shui, and the sword happened to pierce its neck.

In an instant, the demon rolled across the ground, struggled a few times, and breathed its last.

Lu Shui then looked at Those Two People behind him and said:

"What were you saying just now?"

Zhen Wu was Stunned, and Zhen Ling was Stunned as well. She had not even finished speaking.

Everything had happened too quickly—so quickly that they had not seen it clearly.

In that brief instant, the sword had pierced the demon's neck.

But how was that possible? How could it have been so fast?

They had not even seen Lu Shui use Spiritual Energy, yet the demon had died, killed in an instant.

Only then did they recall what Lu Shui had said earlier: he was going to Exorcise Demons, and it might be a little fast.

They never expected This Sentence to be true.

Faced with Lu Shui's question, they finally came back to their senses.

"N-no." Zhen Ling immediately said.

Although the power Lu Shui displayed was not particularly strong, it had completely exceeded their expectations, leaving them momentarily flustered.

Yet it still felt unreal to them. Why had someone who could not even deal with an ordinary First Tier demon resolved this one so cleanly and decisively?

Even when they had been Second Tier, they could not have done it so cleanly and decisively.

Ignoring Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling, Lu Shui walked over to the demon and inspected it. Then he frowned.

"Pollution?"

If he remembered correctly, Not long after this, the small town at the Mountain Foot would suffer a Plague. Even his Mother would fall ill.

It had quite an impact on the Lu Family at the time.

In the end, it was only resolved when the Second Elder stepped in.

It should have been around this Time Period. He could not remember clearly.

Lu Shui then turned to Zhen Wu and said:

"Investigate the nearby woods. See if there are any things similar to this demon—plants, animals, or Spirit Beasts. If there are, find out where they came from."

Hearing Lu Shui's unquestionable tone, Zhen Wu had the illusion that he could not refuse.

Perhaps the contrast just now had given Lu Shui a trace of authority.

In the end, Zhen Wu nodded and Responded:

"Yes, young master."

Lu Shui then looked at Zhen Ling and said:

"Notify the town outside. If a large-scale outbreak of illness occurs soon, immediately send someone to the Lu Family to Call for Help."

Zhen Ling hesitated. This Kind Of Thing was not something she needed to handle at all.

Lu Shui looked at Zhen Ling.

"Is there a problem?"

Lu Shui had not gone out much in his Previous Life, so he did not know how strong he was. But having once been an Expert, the bearing he naturally carried was enough to frighten some people.

The instant Zhen Ling met Lu Shui's gaze, she suddenly shuddered. For a moment, she seemed to see the Great Elder's gaze from back then.

Zhen Ling immediately Lowered Her Head and muttered:

"No, young master."

"Go." Lu Shui said.

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling then left the Original Place directly.

They felt that today's young master was somewhat strange.

But once they recovered, they would probably think that this young master had learned some crooked and bizarre method from somewhere again.

After all, this was nothing unusual.

Lu Shui did not pay it much mind. After confirming that Those Two People had left, he clutched his waist and bared his teeth.

"Hiss, it hurts, it hurts."

He had come down the mountain while injured all the way. How could it not hurt?

As for throwing the Tree Branch just now, it could only be said that it was something carried over from his Previous Life.

Because his realm had been relatively high in his Previous Life, his Pregnancy Chance with his Wife had basically been nonexistent. To obtain a chance beyond the ordinary, he had seized Heaven and Earth Fortune and gathered it upon himself, becoming worthy of the title Father of Fortune. Regrettably, she still had not become pregnant.

What surprised him was that even after being reborn, Heaven and Earth Fortune was still with him.

It simply was not as strong anymore.

As for how strong he had been in his Previous Life?

It seemed he had not been that strong, since he had only Jumped Around within the Lu Family Territory.

But later, he often conducted research. Whenever he lacked materials, he would simply reach out and grab them from the Starry Sky. He had heard that once, he grabbed something rather large and scared the Lu Family Big Shots senseless.

It even alarmed Mu Xue, who was in seclusion, and she blew it apart with one punch.

What followed was no longer something he had heard about—it was his own experience. Mu Xue had blown up his secret chamber.

Thinking about it now, his strength should have been decent.

Speaking of Mu Xue, if not for Arranged Marriage, he would never have married Mu Xue even if beaten to death.

She was a complete Gunpowder Barrel.

Lu Shui did not Think Too Much about it afterward. After resting for a while, he went to the demon's side, Took Out his Imitation Phone, and opened the camera, aiming it at himself and the demon.

By the Way, he made a V sign.

Click.

"Perfect."

He was taking this back to show the Third Elder, so the Third Elder would not demand physical evidence.

As for witnesses, Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling would do.

Lu Shui then headed up the mountain. After returning, he needed to get himself some medicine, or it would be bad if something really went wrong with his kidneys.

Lu Family Main Hall.

The Third Elder looked at Lu Shui's phone in silence.

Lu Shui stood below in the Main Hall, waiting for the Third Elder to speak.

After a pause, the Third Elder said:

"You've improved. You actually left no trace of cheating for anyone to find."

Lu Shui heard this but said nothing. No matter what the Third Elder thought, as long as he did not deny what Lu Shui had accomplished, that was enough.

The Third Elder tossed the phone back to Lu Shui, then said:

"Let's talk about Serious matter."

Lu Shui frowned.

"Serious matter?"

Was he not going to mention his reward?

"Don't worry. Qiushui Town's equipment will be upgraded, so you don't need to worry about your network. Now talk about Serious matter with peace of mind," the Third Elder said.

Lu Shui was a little surprised.

What Serious matter could possibly require speaking with him?

There had been no such thing in his Previous Life, had there?

Curious, Lu Shui asked:

"What Serious matter is it?"

The Third Elder said:

"It concerns the Mu Family."

"The Mu Family?" Lu Shui did not understand. There was still some time before the wedding, was there not?
