Li Muyang was dumbfounded for a long while, before he nodded to Lu Qingming. "Uncle Lu, it's Grandfather's birthday, as a junior, I should express my respect. Why would I need you to invite me? You're treating me like an outsider. In this way, it would seem that I'm not being polite. "
He thought to himself that in the whole world, there were as many people who wanted to give gifts to Grandfather Lu Xingkong. However, most people could not enter the door.
Since he was living in the Lu mansion, and Uncle Lu had taken the initiative to invite him, he had to give him a presentable gift.
However, for a person like Lu Xingkong to be presentable, what kind of gift would that be?
Fortunately, he knew that the black dragon had a secret cave not far from Tiandu, perhaps he could find the treasure he wanted there.
As Li Muyang calculated in his mind, he felt a lot more confident. A penny can stump a hero. For Li Muyang, this invisible rich man, money was not a problem.
Lu Qingming gave a wry smile. "Muyang, it's not that Uncle Lu is unscrupulous, nor do I want to ask for your belongings, it's just that — —"
Some words were difficult to say, some things were still secrets. Lu Qingming's heart was throbbing with pain, pointing to the courtyard full of snow, he said: "Even if you just write a word, draw a picture, break a branch of plum and send it over — — Father would be very pleased."
Li Muyang smiled. "Uncle Lu, you don't have to explain. You and I traveled together, met in the bamboo sea, and traveled thousands of miles to Tiandu. Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are? You certainly know what kind of person I am — — You regard me as a nephew, Grandfather Lu also treats me like a grandson. The Li family is indebted to the Lu Family for taking care of them, the two families are like one family, integrated into one. I wish Grandfather Lu a happy birthday from the bottom of my heart, there's no need to say more. Otherwise, it would seem tacky, and would be unworthy of the elegance of this snowy sky. "
Lu Qingming also felt that this topic was a bit difficult to talk about. Moreover, every time this matter was brought up, there was a feeling of being pricked by needles.
So, he nodded. "Good. Good. No more talking, no more talking. Just as you said, it would be vulgar to talk about those things again. Come, let's drink. "
"A toast to Uncle Lu," Li Muyang raised his glass and said with a smile, "No matter what, I will advance and retreat together with the Lu Family."
Whether it was morality or personal feelings, Li Muyang was willing to help the Lu Family. If the Lu Family really couldn't hold on and met with the danger of extinction.
However, his parents and family had to be sent away in advance.
They were all ordinary people and could not be of any help in this war. Staying in Tiandu would only distract Li Muyang.
But where should he send it?
Lu Qingming did not raise his glass like Li Muyang. Instead, he looked at Li Muyang seriously and said, "This is the other thing I want to talk to you about."
"Uncle Lu, please speak."
"After my father's birthday celebration, you must leave immediately." Lu Qingming said with a serious face: "Go back to Starry Sky Academy and continue to cultivate. For you, rapid improvement is the most important thing. Only with sufficient strength could one truly protect one's family from harm. As for your parents and family and Shinian, they will be sent to Wind City. The Lord of Wind City is a direct descendant of the Lu Family, Lu Wuyong. Hundreds of miles away from Wind City is the Jade Gate Pass. The General stationed at the Jade Gate Pass, Zhang Fengshan, is also a General promoted by the Lu Family. The morale of the army can be used — — If something happens to Wind City, Zhang Fengshan can immediately send reinforcements. "
"Uncle Lu, how can I leave alone when the Lu Family is in trouble?"
"It's good that you're safe." Lu Qingming said with a smile. "The Lu Family owes you too much, at this time we really can't drag you into the quagmire."
"No." Li Muyang refused. "I agree to send my parents and sister Shinian to Wind City, but I will never leave. Before the Lu Family is safe, before Uncle Lu and Aunt Yu are safe, I will not leave alone. "
"Muyang — —"
"I have made up my mind, Uncle Lu does not need to persuade me. One must act according to one's conscience. If I leave now, my conscience will be uneasy. Even if I go to Starry Sky Academy, I most likely will not have the mind to cultivate. If something happens to the Lu Family, then I will regret it for the rest of my life — — If I stay with the Lu Family, I may be able to help. "
"Muyang — —"
"Uncle Lu, listen to me this time." Li Muyang said stubbornly. "Because of selfishness, I do want to send my parents and sister to a safe place first. But, because of my conscience, I really hope to be able to help the Lu Family through this difficult time together. "
Lu Qingming looked at Li Muyang who was close at hand, looked at his son, and remained silent for a long time.
After accompanying Lu Qingming to drink two cups of wine and chatting for a while, Li Muyang bid farewell and left.
When Li Muyang had gone far away, Gongsun Yu, who was draped in a snow fox fur windbreaker, appeared behind Lu Qingming.
She stood side by side with her husband, looking at the row of clear footprints in the courtyard that extended to the back garden, as if from every footprint a Li Muyang could jump out.
"Husband is filial, as a wife I can understand. But, are you not afraid that Father will feel uneasy after receiving Muyang's gift? "Gongsun Yu said with resentment. "If it wasn't for him, my child Muyang — — how would my child Muyang have suffered so much? How would I have suffered so much? How — — how could my parents be in front of me, but I can't recognize them? "
Lu Qingming's face twisted in pain, his face full of guilt as he said, "Xiao Yu, I know you feel wronged, I also know you hate Father. This is what the Lu Family owes you, I can't explain it. But — — this is Father's sixtieth birthday, I want him to be happy. And the Lu Family is going through a dangerous situation, life and death is still unknown — — I don't want him to have any regrets in his heart. I also don't want to have any regrets in my heart. "
Gongsun Yu sighed softly, and after a long while, she said aloud, "If you knew it would be like this, why did you do it in the first place?"
"This is Heaven's will." Lu Qingming clasped his wife's hand and said in a low voice.

Bang bang bang — —
There was a loud knock on the door. No, it should be said that it was the sound of a foot slamming against the door.
Only Li Muyang's baby sister, Li Shinian, could do such a thing.
Sure enough, before Li Muyang could say 'come in', Li Shinian had already kicked the door open and barged in.
When she and Li Muyang exchanged a helpless glance, she immediately retreated, closed the door, stood at the door and asked softly, "Brother, can I come in?"
"Come in." Li Muyang said snappily. When would this lass learn to knock on someone else's door before entering their room?
Li Shinian pushed the door open again and said with a grin, "Brother, you're up?"
"I got up a long time ago." Li Muyang put down the brush in his hand and said, "It's strange that you would get up so early. Say, what's the matter for you to come so early? "
"Isn't it for you?" Li Shinian said with a grin. "Brother, do you remember what I told you last night?"
"I don't remember." Li Muyang shook his head.
"I told sister Xiaoxin last night that I will order you to give her the 'Winter Plum Blossoms Bloom Proudly in Snow' painting early this morning … When we parted last night, sister Xiaoxin specifically mentioned this matter. Hurry and pack up, and send that 'Winter Plum Blossoms Bloom Proudly in Snow' painting over. "
"Didn't you already send that painting over?"
"I did send it over. But there was not a word on the painting, it was empty, only a piece of white paper. Can I tell sister Xiaoxin that you are holding the 'Winter Plum Blossoms Bloom Proudly in Snow' painting? If that's the case, isn't it clearly telling others that Li Mu is Li Muyang, and Li Muyang is Li Mu? "
"The painting has already been sent out by you, so I have to draw another one." Li Muyang said.
"Of course. Hurry up and draw, draw now. After you finish, immediately send it over, don't let sister Xiaoxin wait for too long. "Li Shinian urged.
Worried that Li Muyang would delay, she went straight to the desk where Li Muyang was writing and said, "I will lay the paper and grind the ink for you, you start now."
"Don't worry, I will draw in a moment …" When Li Muyang spoke, he quickly used his body to block in front of Li Shinian.
"Huh?" Li Shinian narrowed her eyes at Li Muyang. "Li Muyang, what the hell are you doing? What unspeakable things are you hiding? Heavens, you're not looking at those erotic pictures again, are you? I didn't expect you to have not changed your bad habits. "
"What bad habits did I have before — — Weren't you the one who wanted to read those books?"
"Pah pah pah — — this Miss is as clean as ice and as clean as jade, I won't read those erotic books." Li Shinian nibbled her thin lips, staring at Li Muyang with sparkling eyes. "Are you going to take it out yourself, or do you want me to snatch it?"
"I really don't have those erotic pictures."
"Not erotic pictures? Did you go to Starry Sky Academy and bring back something even more unsightly? " Li Shinian looked like a curious baby, stretching out her little hand. "Quickly show me."
"— —"
While Li Muyang was in a daze, Li Shinian suddenly dashed behind Li Muyang, and quickly lifted the paper that was full of writing. A fragrant plum blossom painting of 'Winter Plum Blossoms Bloom Proudly in the Snow' was right in front of her eyes. Moreover, it was the painting that Li Shinian wanted to give to Cui Xiaoxin last night.
Li Shinian sneered again and again. "I was afraid that someone would be too guilty to go. It turns out that you've already prepared it — — couldn't wait? Can't wait to go back last night? "
Li Muyang's face suddenly turned red, explaining in a low voice, "I was afraid that I would forget how to draw that painting, so — — I practiced a few more times."
