Hearing the voice, Lu Xuan did not come to his senses at first. There were not many people who called him Young Hero Lu, but the person behind him called him a few times, and the voice was getting closer and closer. It was obvious that the person had caught up.
Only then did Lu Xuan realize that he was being called, and he also felt that the voice was a little familiar. He turned around in surprise, and when he saw the person's face, the surprise on Lu Xuan's face became even more obvious.
"Peng Xu? Why are you here? Why are you here? Where's Miss Zhang? "Lu Xuan asked a few questions in one breath, obviously confused by Peng Xu's appearance.
Without a doubt, this person was Peng Xu, who Zhang Dongshuang had signed a blood contract with. Back then, when Zhang Dongshuang came out of the inheritance ground, she had left with Peng Xu and her little brother, Zhang Zhuo. Logically speaking, he should be with Zhang Dongshuang right now, but no one knew why he was here.
Seeing Lu Xuan turn around, Peng Xu's face became even more surprised. He quickly took two steps forward, walked up to Lu Xuan, and looked at Lu Xuan up and down a few times before saying, "Young Hero Lu, it's really you! I thought I was mistaken! "
Just now, he only felt that the person in front of him was very similar to Lu Xuan, so he could not help but shout a few words. He did not expect that it was really Lu Xuan. This was really beyond his expectations. According to Zhang Dongshuang, didn't Lu Xuan die?
Hearing Peng Xu's words, Lu Xuan frowned slightly and said, "Of course it's me. You haven't answered my question yet."
Peng Xu calmed his breath, and only then did he recover from the news of Lu Xuan's "resurrection". At that moment, he did not have the time to study why Lu Xuan suddenly came back to life and appeared in this town. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's a long story. Miss … is in a bad situation now, but since Young Hero Lu is here, it couldn't be better. I'll take you to Miss first, and we'll talk on the way."
Lu Xuan nodded and grunted softly. After catching up to Peng Xu, he asked, "What is it? Miss Zhang is here too? There should be spies from the Liu family here. It's too risky. "
Peng Xu shook his head and sighed, "Young Hero Lu, too many things happened when you were not here, so I'll make it short."
Seeing that Lu Xuan nodded, Peng Xu slowly began to narrate what happened when Lu Xuan was not here.
Back then, Zhang Dongshuang thought that Lu Xuan was dead. She left the Hengduan Mountain Range with Peng Xu and Zhang Zhuo in low spirits, returning to the small town.
Fortunately, after what Lu Xuan did back then, the person in charge of the Liu Clan and some of their fighters were nowhere to be found in this town, so they did not expose themselves.
In the beginning, Zhang Dongshuang only wanted to quickly cultivate and take revenge. The three of them lived in seclusion in this town. Peng Xu had been in the Hengduan Mountain Range for many years, and he had many connections. Soon, he found a place to live in seclusion. Zhang Dongshuang did not show herself, and only Peng Xu and Zhang Zhuo appeared.
Later, by chance, Peng Xu received a piece of news. The Zhang family did not seem to be exterminated, and was still alive.
When he told this news to Zhang Dongshuang, she was naturally very excited. It was as if she saw a ray of hope in a hopeless situation. At that moment, she could not hold back her thoughts and wanted to go home.
Peng Xu naturally would not and could not stop her. Therefore, the three of them packed up and followed Zhang Dongshuang home. The curtains of the unforeseen event began.
"We followed the young miss back to the Zhang family without a hitch. The rumors were indeed true. The Zhang family was still alive and well. The young miss was naturally very happy. The one who received us was the second master of the Zhang family, who was also the young miss' uncle, Zhang Jinyu."
"At that time, I was also happy for the young miss. After all, we did not feel good when we saw her in low spirits every day. At the very least, she could put down the burden of revenge. Soon after, the young miss discovered that her parents were not around. She asked the second master of the Zhang family about their whereabouts. At that time, the second master of the Zhang family said that the young miss' parents had gone out to take care of something and would only return after a few days."
At this point, Lu Xuan's eyebrows furrowed even tighter. He had already faintly sensed what was going to happen next. He was no longer the inexperienced Lu Xuan. He had a considerable understanding of the sinister nature of the human heart.
"In fact, at that time, I already felt that something was wrong. Usually, no matter what happens in a family, the head of the family does not need to personally make a move, let alone bring the wife along. However, young hero, you should also know of my status. I naturally could not say anything that should not be said. Thus, I could only secretly be on guard."
Lu Xuan nodded his head. This was indeed the case. When the Liu family sent people to the small town to ambush him and Zhang Dongshuang, it was also the Liu family's Lao'er who took action. When had he ever seen the head of the Liu family make a move?
"That Zhang Jinyu, who is also the second master of the Zhang family, is also at the 9th layer of the Body Refinement Stage. Naturally, he was able to see through my strength. Perhaps he was somewhat afraid of me. He said that he had some important matters to discuss with the young miss and sent me away. Thus, I could only repeatedly warn the young miss to be more careful. Unfortunately, my words carry little weight. The young miss was still immersed in the excitement of regaining her loved one and did not take my words seriously."
At this point, Peng Xu let out a bitter laugh. He had been implanted with a blood contract and was only Zhang Dongshuang's servant. Naturally, he did not have much authority to speak. If it was Lu Xuan who had said these words to Zhang Dongshuang, perhaps it would have been quite useful.
"The young miss and the second master of the Zhang family entered the inner chamber. However, under my strong request, although I was unable to enter with them, I still stood guard at the door. I do not know what happened in the inner chamber. However, not long after, I heard the young miss's loud cries. At that moment, I could not care about anything else and directly broke the door open, only to see the young miss angrily questioning the second master of the Zhang family."
Peng Xu let out a sigh of relief and continued: "According to what the young miss told me, after she entered the inner chamber, the second master of the Zhang family questioned her about what happened during this period of time. After all, the young miss is still too young and inexperienced. Naive and unaffected, she actually revealed everything that happened and even took out the Zhang family's inheritance!"
Lu Xuan's eyes twitched as he secretly cursed in his heart. This silly girl!
Seeing the expression on Lu Xuan's face, Peng Xu immediately shook his head and said, "Young Hero Lu, you should be able to roughly guess what happened next. That's right, the inheritance was taken by the second master of the Zhang family. He said that he was keeping it for the young miss. It was only then that the young miss realized that something was wrong. She began to demand the inheritance and asked for the whereabouts of her parents. It was also at this time that I barged in."
"Seeing that he could no longer hide it, that Zhang Jinyu finally revealed his true colors. He said viciously that the young miss's parents had long been captured by the Liu family and were being interrogated about the whereabouts of the inheritance. However, he did not expect the young miss to deliver herself to their doorstep and even obediently hand over the inheritance. It's really … sigh." Peng Xu did not know what to say.
"And then?" Lu Xuan asked.
"When that Zhang Jinyu saw that the inheritance was already in his hands, he simply shed all pretense of cordiality and directly summoned the servants of the Zhang family to capture us. However, he only had the strength of the 9th layer of the Body Refinement Realm and was naturally unable to keep me here. However, there was nothing I could do to him. I could not snatch back the inheritance and could only escape with the young miss. However, Little Zhuo only had the strength of the 7th layer of the Body Refinement Realm and was trapped in the encirclement of the many servants. I'm afraid that he has already met his end …" Peng Xu's expression was somewhat gloomy.
Lu Xuan's expression was incomparably gloomy. He did not think that so many things would actually happen. Originally, because of the ferocious beasts they had slaughtered along the way, the depression in his heart had almost dissipated. However, it had now gathered once again.
Without a doubt, the matter of the Zhang family's inheritance was leaked to the Liu family by the second master of the Zhang family. Lu Xuan had originally thought that such a secretive matter would not be offended by the Liu family. He did not think that there would be a traitor.
That Zhang Jinyu was really not a good person. He actually dared to betray his own brother. He was simply unworthy of being called a human!
However, Zhang Dongshuang was pitiful. She was already miserable enough, yet she still encountered such an incident. So many things had happened to a little girl who was not even seventeen years of age. Wasn't it a little too cruel?
"After I rescued the young miss, I once again returned to this small town and concealed myself. The young miss believed that she had caused young hero's death. Then, she lost the inheritance that young hero had risked his life to help her obtain. She even lost her last shred of hope for revenge. At one point, she wanted to seek death. However, under my constant persuasion, she finally gave up on this idea. However, her condition is deteriorating day by day. Just now, I came out to buy food for the young miss, but I did not expect to unexpectedly meet young hero. This time, young hero, you really came at the right time. Indeed, heaven never bars one's way."
As he looked at Lu Xuan, a glimmer of hope flashed across Peng Xu's eyes. Right now, the only person who could persuade and save Zhang Dongshuang was Lu Xuan. Yet, Lu Xuan just had to appear at this crucial moment. If this was not the will of the heavens, then what could it be?
A sneer surfaced on Lu Xuan's face. "The second master of the Zhang family, right? How can this kind of person be allowed to live in this world. First, bring me to Miss Zhang."
Seeing that Lu Xuan had the intention to stand up for him, Peng Xu was instantly delighted. He hurriedly quickened his pace and brought Lu Xuan to Zhang Dongshuang's secluded residence. In order to prevent the Zhang and Liu families from finding them, their residence was extremely secretive.
After taking two steps, Peng Xu suddenly stopped and slowly turned his head to look at Lu Xuan. His eyes were filled with uncontrollable shock.
"What is it now?" Lu Xuan asked puzzledly.
"Young hero, your, your strength is … the peak of Body Refinement 8th Layer?!" Peng Xu exclaimed in shock. Just now, he was only concerned with explaining the ins and outs of the matter to Lu Xuan and had actually forgotten to check Lu Xuan's strength. Just now, when he saw it, he was immediately shocked.
