"You fell five or six times on your own?"
Second Uncle Lu Yuanjun had a strange look on his face. He could not believe it.
Looking at Lu Chenglei's appearance, not to mention the bruises and sprains, it seemed like many of his bones were broken.
However, it was not uncommon to fall. After all, everyone had bad luck.
But who would fall five or six times in a row and end up in such a miserable state?
"I fell by accident!"
Feeling the chill that came from his soul, Lu Chenglei could not help but break out in a cold sweat. His face turned red and purple. "Second Uncle, don't ask. Just bring me in first!"
"Alright. You don't look like someone who would suffer a loss anyway."
Finally, Second Uncle Lu Yuanjun nodded. He called for the servants and a personal doctor to send Lu Chenglei to recuperate.
As one of the super families in Tianjing, the Lu family naturally had a personal doctor. Whether it was treatment or the environment for recuperation, it was much better than outside of Tianjing.
After Lu Chenglei left, Lu Yuanjun's face suddenly darkened.
"He fell by himself? This kid is too naive. He needs a few more years of practice! "
The Lu family had served Elder Tian for more than 20 years. Although they were not a martial arts family, many of the Lu family's disciples were skilled in martial arts.
As a high-ranking member, Lu Yuanjun even had the cultivation of Qi Transformation Stage with the help of resources.
His eyesight was not very good, but he could see that Lu Chenglei's injury was caused by external force, not by the fall.
This discovery made Lu Yuanjun angry. "Even if Xiao Lei is a good-for-nothing, he is still a direct descendant of the Lu family. Who is so daring to hurt him?"
Soon, he thought of a name.
"Xiao Lei accepted a mission to go to Donghai to teach that bitch a lesson. Now that Xiao Lei is injured, Lu Yunjing's family came to Tianjing with great fanfare … Hmph!"
He was the one who received the information last night. At this moment, he connected all the dots and immediately deduced the cause and effect of the incident.
"Hmph, that bitch is so daring. Is she provoking the Lu family?"
Lu Yuanjun snorted to himself. A trace of malice appeared in his eyes.
Although Lu Yunjing was his sister by blood, he had never regarded her as his sister.
In his eyes, the current Lu Yunjing was merely a toad trying to cling onto the Lu Family!
"A major general who is not even twenty years old, the new guardian god of northern plains, and a popular young grandmaster … these are your laughable trump cards?"
Recalling the information, Lu Yuanjun sneered.
He called a servant over and instructed, "Go and contact that brat Feng Yun. Tell him that there will be guests arriving soon. Have him properly receive them."
Lu Fengyun, a direct descendant of the third generation of the Lu Clan, the son of Lu Yuanjun, and one of the most important successors of the Lu Clan.
It was impossible for the Lu Clan to only have one successor.
Being able to become one of the successors was enough to prove Lu Fengyun's talent and ability.
"That Feng Yun kid is good at everything, but he's too young and lacks experience. If he can make a name for himself in this matter, it'll be beneficial for him when he fights for the position of Patriarch in the future."
…
"Dad wants me to receive Aunt Lu Yunjing?"
After hearing the words of the maid beside her, Lu Fengyun, who was soaking in the hot spring, narrowed her eyes.
His eyes were slightly long and narrow, and they carried a languid expression. However, they also possessed the slyness of a fox, and they frequently flashed with a wisp of divine radiance.
"The youngest major general in China? The guardian god of northern plains? The popular young grandmaster? "
Looking at Chen Xiao's information, Lu Fengyun sipped his red wine as if he was looking at a joke. He shook his head and laughed. "These titles can scare others, but not me. There's too much exaggeration in them."
Beside him were two young women who were completely naked.
They were soaking in the hot spring, their slender bodies faintly discernible. They were a pair of charming twins with a smile on their face.
"Young Master Lu is right. There are too many titles on the internet, such as' the strongest 'or' the biggest '. I'm afraid they saw that this kid could fight a little, so they added the title of grandmaster. "
One of the girls laughed in agreement.
Only those who had truly come into contact with the Martial Dao would understand that the so-called Grandmaster required actual cultivation and strength!
To them, these masters and grandmasters on the internet were as laughable as clowns.
"There are some good fighters among the people of Sakura Island, but that's all."
Lu Fengyun shook his head calmly and continued, "As for the youngest major general in China, that title can only scare the average person. I don't know that there's such a special thing as an honorary title."
An honorary military rank sounded more prestigious than an official military rank.
But in reality, it was just an honorary title. It had no real power in the military. To Lu Fengyun, it was not worth mentioning.
"If there's an official major general, why didn't the Lu family hear about it?"
At this moment, the maid reported from afar, "Young Master Feng Yun, a few people have arrived at the main gate of the Lu family. They claim to be members of the Lu family, but no one knows who they are …"
"Oh, they're here already?"
Lu Fengyun was slightly surprised. He stood up from the hot spring, revealing his slender and beautiful body. He said calmly, "Don't let them in yet. Let them wait for an hour."
"This …" The maid hesitated.
"You dare to disobey my words?" Lu Fengyun glared at her and the smile on his face disappeared. "The gate of the Lu family is not a place for just anyone to enter!"
"Young Master Feng Yun, I understand." The maid quickly nodded.
"Also, if they're still here after an hour, let them in through the side door. Tell them that the main gate is only used to receive important guests. Others can only enter through the side door."
Lu Fengyun's arrogant voice carried a hint of disdain.
'Lu Yunjing? Do you think you're worthy of being a member of the Lu family? '
…
"Since Grandmaster Chen has some family matters to attend to, we won't disturb you any further."
Not far from the Lu family, Liu Cangqiu and the others bid farewell to Chen Xiao.
At their level, they would more or less have heard of the Lu Clan's incident.
However, this was a family matter that belonged to Chen Xiao's family. Unless Chen Xiao spoke, it would not be appropriate for them to intervene.
"In the future, if Grandmaster has any requests, the Han family will do our best to help." Han Xiao cupped his fists and left.
"The Zong family awaits Grandmaster's arrival!" Zong Qiuping laughed and left.
"Chen Shi, I still have some matters to attend to at the Northern Base. I'll look for you when I'm done ~"
Lin Fei winked at him coquettishly and reluctantly bid farewell.
Most of the people had left. They had achieved their goal. Chen Xiao letting them stay until the end meant that the relationship between them had surpassed those who had left earlier.
In the end, Liu Cangqiu also bid farewell and went to fetch his disciple.
"Grandmaster Chen, this is the military ID issued by the higher-ups."
Halfway there, Old Man Liu slapped his forehead and handed over a dark red booklet. "Although you may not need it, an official Major General's rank will make it much more convenient to move around in Tianjing City."
"Major General? Xiao, you have the rank of Major General?! "Lu Yunjing and Chen Liqiang were shocked once again.
Generally speaking, most people could only reach the rank of senior colonel before they retired.
Any higher and there were too many factors to consider. Many people would not be able to achieve it in their lifetime.
"It's just a Major General's rank. If it wasn't for the short interval between promotions, the higher-ups would have given Grandmaster Chen the rank of Lieutenant General."
With Chen Xiao's achievements in guarding the secret realm, suppressing two countries, and destroying the Hunyuan Empire, a mere Major General's rank was a bit low.
Liu Cangqiu shook his head slightly, cupped his hands, and left. "If there's anything, you can contact me at any time. In Tianjing City, my old face still has some use."
"Come, come, Xiao Xiao, let dad see your military ID!"
As soon as Old Man Liu left, Chen Liqiang was the first to be unable to stand still. He moved to Chen Xiao's side and curiously looked through Chen Xiao's military ID.
Lu Yunjing, on the other hand, suddenly looked surprised after a few glances. "Little Xiao's military rank is an official one, not an honorary one?"
After all, she was born in Tianjing City and knew much more than Chen Xiao and his son.
"What honorary rank?" Chen Liqiang was curious. "There's such a difference in military ranks?"
"Of course, most people don't know. However, the difference between an honorary rank and an official rank is like the difference between a visiting professor and an official professor."
The former didn't need corresponding qualifications and was usually granted due to special circumstances. Even celebrities, entrepreneurs, and so on could become a visiting professor.
The latter, on the other hand, was a real professor, the highest rank of a university teacher.
"I thought that even if Xiao was granted a military rank, it would only be an honorary one. I didn't expect it to be an official one …"
Lu Yunjing looked surprised. Unknowingly, she found that she couldn't see through her son, Chen Xiao.
"Xiao, what did you do?" She couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I just suppressed a rebellion, killed a few invaders, and finally destroyed an illegal organization. These are just three small things, nothing to be surprised about."
For Chen Xiao, if his cultivation was above the Divinity Realm, it would be easy for him to shatter mountains and rivers and change the world, let alone a mere Major General's rank.
But in the ears of the bystanders, it was like a clap of thunder that exploded.
Just what kind of 'small things' could make the country give him an official Major General's rank?
"Brother Liqiang … I think we've got an incredible son!"
Lu Yunjing sighed inwardly, her eyes filled with pride.
At that moment.
When they arrived at the main entrance of the Lu Residence, they saw that the quaint gate was tightly shut with a total of ten security guards standing guard.
"The Lu Residence. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed in!" A security guard in black yelled and blocked their way.
"Finally … I can't believe I'll be back."
Lu Yunjing was lost in thought for a long time as she stared at the familiar yet strange gate.
At the same time, Chen Xiao spoke, "My mother is the second generation of the Lu Clan, the fifth daughter of the main line. She's returning to the Lu Clan today. Open the gate!"
"The fifth daughter of the main line?!"
"There's someone like that in the Lu Clan?"
The security guards didn't expect Chen Xiao to reveal his identity. After a moment of shock, they quickly contacted the Lu family through the walkie-talkie.
Not long after, a cold chuckle came from the other side of the phone.
"The fifth daughter of the second generation of the Lu Clan died of illness more than twenty years ago. How dare you impersonate her?"
Lu Yunjing's face turned pale as soon as she heard those words.
