The next day,
At the Lu family's ancestral home.
Lu Jin lay on the bench in the living room with a tired expression. It was obvious that he had been hit by the previous' failure '. He had never thought that he would lose so miserably to Liu Xiaojiang.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone..,
They were all big shots from various sects in the circle,
Under such circumstances, he was casually defeated by Liu Xiaojiang. The more Old Master Lu cared about his face now … the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart.
It wasn't like he hadn't experienced this before. After all, back then, he was casually defeated by a narrow-eyed man in front of everyone. So speaking of being embarrassed … This wasn't the first time he had been humiliated.
However, even though that incident back then was very embarrassing, that narrow-eyed man was still considered someone of the same generation. He was even much older than him in terms of age. Losing … was only losing to someone of the same generation. He could only blame himself for not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth.
In the end..,
He had to lose to a child who wasn't considered old in terms of age and seniority in the same embarrassing manner. This blow was much greater than losing to that old thing Zhang Zhiwei back then..
I have no time in my life … who the hell said that!
Who was he mocking here!
"Damn it …"
"You old guys have bullied me, Lu Jin, all my life. Now, even the young ones can suddenly jump out and give me a blow … I, Lu Jin, am really destined to clash with your Mount Longhu, right?!"
As he said that..,
Old Master Lu was instantly enraged. He picked up the ice pack on his forehead and threw it to the side.
"Liu Xiaojiang, you little brat, how has our Lu family offended you? Even the Heavenly Book has been passed to your Mount Longhu. Don't you know how to save some face for this old man!"
"Uh …" Lu Linglong and Lu Lin had just entered when they saw the ice pack fall to the ground. They were also shocked by the old man's sudden action.
"Old Master, are you feeling better …"
"Huh?!" When Lu Jin heard the voice, he immediately glared fiercely at the person who spoke. However, when he realized that the person who spoke was his precious granddaughter, he could only suppress his displeasure towards Mount Longhu and Liu Xiaojiang.
"Hmph, why not? I feel so good, so I'm about to call that old thing on the mountain to talk about our relationship!"
Lu Linglong was speechless.
"…" Lu Lin was speechless.
Seeing this,
Although Lu Linglong felt that there was something wrong with Old Master Lu's emotions, she still smiled apologetically and took the initiative to pick up the ice bag on the ground and put it aside. Then, she sat down on the chair beside Old Master Lu with her cousin Lu Lin.
"Grandpa, I don't think you need to be so angry. Losing to Brother Liu … isn't shameful at all. After all, according to the recent rumors, the only one who can fight against Brother Liu is the Celestial Master on Mount Longhu."
"Hmph!!!" When Lu Jin heard this, he gritted his teeth in extreme displeasure. "Do you think that Old Master Lu can't compare to that old thing on the mountain?!"
"… Hahaha." Lu Linglong understood that she seemed to have stepped on a landmine again, but she didn't know how to answer such an obvious question. She could only laugh awkwardly and scratch the back of her head.
At the side..,
Lu Lin looked at Lu Linglong, who was laughing awkwardly, and then looked at her Old Master, who was angry but didn't say anything. She knew very well that if a boy like her said such words, she would definitely be taught a lesson by the old man very 'kindly', so she didn't dare to interrupt at all.
"Hmph!" Lu Jin looked at the silent Lu Lin. He couldn't find a suitable opportunity to get angry, and he couldn't really make things difficult for his precious granddaughter. In the end, he could only put this matter aside for the time being. He shook his head helplessly and said,
"Forget it …"
"Anyway, you're right. I can't be compared to that slit-eyes guy on the mountain. I can't even deal with that old thing's nephew. On the contrary, I suffered a huge loss in the hands of that kid …"
Lu Linglong saw that Old Master Lu seemed to be deflated all of a sudden, and she couldn't help but quickly persuade him.
"Oh, Old Master Lu, why do you care about this kind of thing? At that critical juncture, it's already good that you dared to stand up. So many other seniors … After that, didn't they also have to watch Brother Liu leave?"
"On the contrary, I think that Old Master Lu dared to stand up, which is already better than everyone present at that time. Moreover, you also used facts to help others confirm Brother Liu's strength, which can be considered as indirectly avoiding a bigger loss at that time."
"After all, if you didn't stand up, no one would know Brother Liu's strength. If they all thought that they could take Brother Liu down, then the loss … would be even bigger."
"Perhaps …" Lu Jin lay limply on the wooden bench. Apparently, he didn't want to talk about this embarrassing matter anymore.
"But the two of you …"
"Now, because of that stinking brat, most of the people in the circle who have brains have become cautious, afraid that they will be noticed by such a rare little monster …"
"The two of you have only been out of confinement for a few days. Why did you suddenly come here? If you still want to go out with Zhang Chulan … I'll get someone else to lock you up again!"
"… Old Master Lu, we actually came here because of Brother Liu." Lu Linglong couldn't help but stutter when mentioning Liu Xiaojiang.
"What?!" Lu Jin immediately sat up from the chair when he heard that. He couldn't help but look at Lu Linglong with a somewhat nervous gaze.
"Why do the two of you keep mentioning him today? Could it be that the stinking brat contacted you behind my back? Don't tell me at this critical juncture …"
"Old Master Lu, you worry too much …" Lu Linglong shook her head.
"Brother Liu has never taken the initiative to contact us, and ever since I contacted him when I was confined, I realized that he had no intention of saving me at all. I already understood … Brother Liu actually doesn't want us to investigate with Zhang Chulan."
"Then why did the two of you suddenly come here and keep mentioning him?" Lu Jin was relieved when he heard that, but he became even more curious about why they kept mentioning Liu Xiaojiang.
After all, in Old Master Lu's memory, even if the two treasures of his family had a few contacts with Liu Xiaojiang, they didn't have a deep relationship.
Moreover …
Even though Liu Xiaojiang had saved Lu Linglong once on Mount Longhu, Old Master Lu still regarded Liu Xiaojiang as a matter between himself and Liu Xiaojiang. Therefore, he recognized Liu Xiaojiang as a guest welcomed by the Lu Family and was willing to accept Liu Xiaojiang's visit at any time.
Lu Linglong saw that Lu Jin seemed to be in a better mood, so she explained hesitantly, "Although Brother Liu didn't contact us in advance, actually … actually …"
"Actually what?" When Lu Jin saw this, he frowned slightly. "Why are you hemming and hawing? Is there something that you can't tell your great-grandfather?"
Hearing that,
Lu Linglong looked at her big cousin, who didn't intend to speak at all, and then gritted her teeth as if she had made up her mind.
"Actually … Brother Liu is now outside the door. He also asked us to inform you first. He also said … if you don't want to see him, he won't force you to see him this time."
"…" Lu Jin.
"Damn it …"
