391: Chapter 390 Letting Go of the Past

The two stared at each other, neither saying a word...

After a while, Lu Qingzhou shouted toward the inside, "Mom, it looks like Brother is back..."

This shout nearly scared Lu Qingfeng into running away...

Suddenly, a familiar figure walked out of the courtyard, wearing an apron and holding a spatula in hand...

She froze, and the spatula dropped to the ground...

She took a few steps forward, crossing the yard...

Extending a slightly trembling hand to touch Lu Qingfeng's face, she whispered in disbelief, "Xiao Feng... Mom isn't dreaming, is she?"

"Mom... I'm back." Lu Qingfeng managed to choke out.

Hearing these words, Mother Lu burst into tears, pulled him into a hug, and wept heart-wrenchingly...

At this moment, Old Lu also walked out and saw this scene...

His eyes instantly turned red... He walked over quickly...

"You brat, you still know how to come back!"

Watching the three of them hugging and crying.

Lu Qingzhou: ...

Who am I? Where am I? Aren't these my mom and dad?

So, love really does fade, right?

...

At the dinner table, Lu Qingzhou listened quietly to his older brother chatting, and he pouted.

Why does it sound like bragging?

The problem is, Mom and Dad seem to believe it!

Heavens... Earth!

My brother says he wandered the Universe, traveling a million miles in a single step, meditated beside a black hole, and barbecued a Star Beast on a blue giant star...

If that's not bragging, what is? I'm an educated person... that's not scientific, is it?

And it gets even more outrageous...

Something about a Kun Star Beast swallowing a super-violet giant star in one bite, or a Dragon-shaped Star Beast covered in black lightning...

A casual strike destroys a star... and makes a black hole disappear.

Do you think you're a Planet Destroyer Cannon?

Even a Planet Destroyer Cannon isn't that powerful...

Fooling Mom and Dad is one thing, but I'm an educated person... Science, science, I believe in science...

Never mind, for the sake of him being my brother, I won't expose him... Family harmony, family harmony...

Oh... right, Brother is back, does that mean he can marry a sister-in-law?

Can I let him off without him having two nephews for me to play with?

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked, "Brother, um, when are you going to marry a sister-in-law?"

Gasp...

Lu Qingfeng, who had been chatting incessantly, suddenly opened his mouth but couldn't speak, looking at him with an unfriendly expression.

Old Lu and Mother Lu also stared at him...

Lu Qingzhou: ...

Did I say something wrong? Why are they all looking at me like that?

I'm not wrong... He's seventy years old, already past the average marriage age of fifty, it's time to get married...

"Ahem... Little Brother, wait a minute... Even if I'm willing to marry, the other party has to be willing to marry me, right?"

"Sister-in-law Shen and Sister-in-law Mo have been waiting for you..."

Lu Qingfeng: ...

Hearing this, although he already knew, he was still deeply moved...

However, after eating, he still had to go see someone; if he returned any later, his disciple would be done for...

So he quickly finished his meal... and pulled some Natural Treasures from his Storage Pouch, placing them on the table.

"Mom, and Xiao Zhou, take these to Cultivate. Old Lu, stop pretending; just go to the Universe and Cultivate for a few days, and you'll recover..."

Old Lu: ...

"You brat, you mock your father the moment you get back. I'm happy to do it... and your mother is happy too."

"I'm not happy about it now." Mother Lu said with a look of disgust.

Meanwhile, Lu Qingzhou stared at the pile of Natural Treasures on the table with shining eyes.

My dear brother, is he Doraemon from those ancient cartoons?

He pulled a pile of these never-before-seen Natural Treasures out of a ragged pouch.

Isn't this too extravagant?

Could it be he wasn't bragging?

He swallowed his saliva and asked, "Brother... can I use these too?"

"Of course you can. Mainly you and Mom, Dad doesn't need them... By the way, Old Lu, how did you achieve Immortal Ascension?" Lu Qingfeng was puzzled; where did all that biological energy come from?

"Ahem..." Old Lu just started to speak.

Mother Lu spoke up, "Xiao Feng, this matter was an accident. After we returned, we thought about going to your grandfather's house... to see if anyone we knew was still there."

Mentioning his grandfather, Lu Qingfeng's face turned slightly pale...

"It's been so long, Xiao Feng. Mom has let it go and doesn't blame you. At first, I might not have been able to accept it, but later, I understood. Back then, you were like this Xia Haotian, muddled and unable to distinguish friend from foe. Besides, ever since the Noble Families were gone, the common people really have had something to look forward to..."

Mother Lu said quite calmly, "That time we went to your grandfather's house, your dad found a secret box inside the basement wall. It contained two top-tier Natural Treasures, and at that time, he happened to be stuck at the Peak of Seeing God, and finally, he made a Breakthrough all the way through..."

Lu Qingfeng nodded. So that was it. No way... He had worked so hard and struggled so much, could it be that Old Lu was the Child of Destiny?

Lu Qingzhou: ...

My dad is a top-tier expert in the Sendai Realm?

How come I didn't know that...

He looked at Old Lu suspiciously; he was just an ordinary middle-aged man...

"Mom, I'm sorry..." Lu Qingfeng said, still feeling quite pained.

"Xiao Feng, don't live in the past. We must all look toward the future. You've suffered too much..." Mother Lu said, feeling very heartbroken.

Compared to his younger brother, his older son hadn't had a single day of peace since college... and in the end, he wandered the Universe for decades. How did he survive the lonely, dark Universe...

"Yes, your mother is right. The past is the past. People who live in the past live in pain. In this era of Martial Arts, with long lifespans, one should look toward the future... and look forward to it!"

Old Lu also said leisurely.

"I know. I won't say anything more for now. I need to go check on that kid Han Xiao. He was burned by the Demonic Flame; if I'm late, I'm afraid his foundation will be ruined."

"You hurry and go. I've been worrying about how to save that kid lately. It's good that you're here..."

"Qingzhou, Brother is leaving first. I'll be back later... Dad, Mom, I'm off!"

After Lu Qingfeng finished speaking, he disappeared on the spot...

Lu Qingzhou: ...

He rubbed his eyes hard. Is this his ordinary brother?

Seeing him like this, Old Lu tapped him on the head, "What are you staring for? Clean up the dishes. Your brother's Realm is beyond your imagination..."

"Oh..." He scratched his head and obediently started cleaning up the dishes.

...

Yanjing, the former Guoshu Academy.

In a room in the back courtyard.

Han Xiao lay quietly, his face pitch black.

Beside him was a gentle and quiet woman, her eyes red and swollen, gripping his hand tightly.

In the front yard, Old Wolf and Ji Bochang were smoking in frustration...

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Xiao Jingdao walked in, his face glowing with health. He laughed loudly, "You guys, stop worrying. Han Xiao's Master is back; he won't die..."

"What did you say?" Old Wolf stood up, looking excited.

Ji Bochang's face was also flushed red—it was from excitement.

"Boss is back?"

"Star Master is back?"

Xiao Jingdao nodded, "Yes, Lu Kid is back. Stop worrying. He is not who he was; he slapped the demonic Xia Haotian to death with one palm. Saving Han Xiao shouldn't be difficult..."

"Old Man Xiao, the moment I return, I hear you mocking me..."

Suddenly, a voice echoed in the small courtyard, and Lu Qingfeng's figure slowly appeared before them...

"Boss?"

"Star Master?"

Seeing the Immortal Master in person, the two were incredibly excited.
