Chapter 352: Take Lu Ling Back
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Lu Li was brought back to the Dragon’s Pavilion, staying in the same building as Ming Yu and Yu Huashen. Mo Ye took a separate room.
Lu Li had passed out since his soul was hurt after Great Patriarch forcefully tried to break into his soul even though the silver dragon mark expelled all the powers.
Lu Li slept for two whole days before he woke up. He still felt headache every now and then. Patriarch Eight came by after Lu Li woke up and gave Lu Li some elixirs for the soul which made Lu Li feel better.
Patriarch Eight’s name was Lu Yunshan. He was in the same generation as Lu Li’s grandpa, but Patriarch Eight was older. He was born from a collateral line of the Lu Family. Currently, he was the chief steward of the Lu Family in charge of all the trivial matters. He was the one dealing with external relationships as well.
Lu Fenghuo, Lu Liantian and Patriarch Four were in the same generation as Lu Li’s father.
That they could become patriarchs was attributable to the fact that they were powerful and that they were born in the immediate Lu Family as well. They were all Lu Renhuang’s cousins.
The other patriarchs were born in collateral lines of Lu Family. They varied in ages. The oldest one was Patriarch Seven who was more than 1000 years old.
This information were told to Lu Li by Mo Ye when he came over to visit Lu Li. Lu Li remembered what he saw and what he speculated and felt the situation at the Lu Family was complicated.
Inside the Lu Family… there seemed to be many parties!
In other words, the Lu Family was not united. There might even be some internal strife.
Lu Li felt uneasy, thinking how his father Lu Renhuang had gone to the Northern Desert and nobody went there to look for him for 20 years.
Lu Li had finally arrived at the Lu Family he yearned day and night after enduring so many hardships and treading through mountains and rivers.
However!
Lu Li weren’t received by a scene he imagined. There weren’t many disciples of the Lu Family welcoming him coming back with hospitality. There weren’t family members hugging him and crying tears of joy. There wasn’t any close relative here for him.
Instead…
He was doubted. He was questioned by the Lu Family and Lu Fenghuo and Lu Liantian seemed to be hostile to him.
Lu Li had no object to prove his identity but he did know the Warlord Album. He looked so much alike Lu Renhuang. Also, he didn’t really believe that anybody had the guts to pretend to be a disciple of the Lu Family.
His grandpa was in closed-door cultivation?
Even so, the patriarchs must have the authority to notify his grandpa about important stuff. Otherwise, what if the Mystic Amor City was breached? In this case, would the patriarchs still say that they could not let his grandpa know and would they just sit there and watch disciples of the Lu Family to be killed?
Lu Li was the grandson of the Family Patriarch of the Lu Family, the only grandson.
Lu Renhuang had been missing for 20 years. Now that Lu Li had come back, shouldn’t the patriarchs let his grandpa know about this significant matter?
Also, he had woken up for a day now since he passed out. Patriarch Eight came once and so did Mo Ye. But none of the other patriarchs or family members ever came by.
Patriarch Eight already said that Great Patriarch had confirmed his identity of being a disciple of the Lu Family. So Lu Li, the son of Lu Renhuang, was so badly received? Lu Renhuang was the future Family Patriarch and the most talented warrior of the Central Plains in more than 100,000 years.
All those strange things, all those questions and the attitude of the patriarchs towards him all drenched the passion in Lu Li’s heart…
He didn’t have much of a bonding sense towards the Lu Family. That being said, there was one thing he knew for sure. This was his family. This was where his roots were. Many people here had the same kind of blood in their veins.
Lu Li sat on his bed for a night and spent the night in thinking. He fell asleep at the break of dawn.
Late in the morning, Patriarch Eight came back again. This time, there was one more person, Lu Didian, Patriarch Four. They were concerned about Lu Li’s injury. Lu Li said he was getting better, but it would take some time for him to fully recover.
Lu Dixian asked after they chit chatted for a bit, “Lu Li, the family has confirmed that you are a disciple, but some of the patriarchs are still not buying that you are Lu Renhuang’s son. After all, you don’t have anything to prove that. So… we are wondering if you know where your father is. If so, we will go and look for him immediately. As long as your father is back, everything will be figure out.”
Lu Li had spent much time thinking about this matter the previous night. He shook his head without any thinking and replied, “I already said that my parents went missing after I was born. I didn’t… even see my father. I don’t have any information about him. If you can get my sister back, I think you will find out more from her and she has our father’s token.”
“Your sister?” Lu Dixian frowned and asked, “You said your sister should be at the Cyan Plains. She is your sister and not a cousin?”
“Yes!”
Lu Li nodded and said, “My sister, same father and mother. She was grabbed by the Palace of Goddess of the Cyan Plains. She is of Fire Phoenix Birth and the Palace of Goddess took her away.”
“Fire Phoenix?”
Lu Dixian and Patriarch Eight Lu Yunshan looked at each other. Lu Dixian appeared to be angry. He snorted and said, “How dare the Palace of Goddess? They dared to take away disciple of the Lu Family? Uncle Yunshan, how about I go there in person and destroy the Palace of Goddess?”
“No!”
Patriarch Eight Lu Yunshan shook his head and said, “Our family is sealed off under orders and nobody can leave unless we have the consent from Great Patriarch. If you leave, you will be disobeying our rules.”
Patriarch Eight thought about it and said, “We have Mo Ye here. Palace of Goddess is nothing. We can ask Mo Ye to send a word to the Palace of Blue Lions and have them go there. Don’t make a big deal out of this. Just bring Lu Li’s sister back. We will talk about the other matters in the future.”
Lu Li’s eyes glowed. The Palace of Blue Lions was a seventh-rank force and they had at least three warriors of the Human Sovereign Realm. Also, there was Mo Ye. They must be able to bring Lu Ling back easily.
What was more, Mo Ye would be representing the Lu Family. The Palace of Goddess would let Lu Ling go for sure unless they were tired of living.
Lu Li said excitedly at once, “How about I go with them? I want to get my sister back in person.”
“You?”
Patriarch Eight frowned and said, “You should stay. You haven’t recovered yet. You have taken in so much blood essence and you must take the chance and cultivate. Otherwise, the blood essence would go to waste. You are at a low realm. You won’t be offering any help if you go. I don’t suppose you can endure long distance teleportation.”
“Alright.”
The thought of taking Teleportation Formations made Lu Li feel dizzy. What was more, if he were to tag along, it would take a longer time. The injury in his soul could not be healed in only a day or two.
“Blood essence!”
Lu Li almost forgot about it. He asked after a pause, “What can it do to cultivation? I don’t feel anything.”
“The blood essence is in every single place within your body. You will feel it when you cultivate. It is going to be beneficial to the cultivation of your soul and body as well as Xuan Energy.”
Patriarch Eight explained and then continued, “Later, I will have someone deliver a book on the cultivation of soul. You just rest and cultivate. We will talk more after you are fully recovered and have consumed all the blood essence.”
Lu Dixian added, “That is right. Lu Li, relax. We will arrange to take your sister back as soon as possible. Warriors from the Cyan Plains surely will let us take our disciples back. Oh, what is your sister’s name? Do you have a portrait of hers?”
Lu Li told them about Lu Ling. Lu Dixian then got a painter and had he painted a portrait of Lu Ling according to Lu Li’s description.
Lu Li said that Mo Ye helped him give Han Wuxin two billion Xuan Crystals. Lu Li also told them about how the Han Family helped him and how the Song Family tried to kill him.
Lu Dixian went to find Mo Ye to make arrangements afterwards. Patriarch Eight stayed behind and told Lu Li to focus on cultivation and that he needn’t worry about anything.
Seeing that Patriarch Eight was about to leave, Lu Li made up his mind and asked, “Patriarch Eight, is my grandpa… really in closed-door cultivation?”
Patriarch Eight paused and said in a deep voice, “Lu Li, you shouldn’t worry about this. We will talk more when we get your sister back and find your father.”
“Then… can I meet my aunt?” Lu Li asked one last question.
Patriarch Eight lowered his eyes. He thought about it for a moment and then said, “Sure, we will send a message now. Tomorrow, your aunt will be here to see you.”
