215: Leave your divine thoughts behind and leave Anzhou!

“Xuan’er, won’t this…?”

Lu Jiahe felt a bit conflicted when he heard Lu Xuan make the decision for him.

Because Xuan’er had expended too much favor for him, this useless Lao Jiahuo (Old fellow).

Now that he had just returned, he would have to trouble County Magistrate Ye Qingshan again.

Even though he, as a father, was useless, he couldn't keep letting his son worry about him like this.

This was one of the reasons why Lu Jiahe had been unwilling to speak.

He knew he didn't have the face to influence the County Magistrate of the Yamen.

If he wanted to plead for Lu Yunfei, it would simply be troubling his son unintentionally.

However, Lu Jiayong, who was beside him, reacted differently from Lu Jiahe.

Lu Jiayong’s previously grief-stricken expression vanished instantly, replaced by one of ecstatic joy.

With the assurance from his nephew, Lu Xuan, it meant everything was settled.

As long as there was a successor, he wasn't a sinner of the Lu family after all; the family line wouldn't be cut off!

As for Lu Xuan's last sentence, the punishment of severing ties with them, Lu Jiayong no longer cared.

Anyway, with his cousin Lu Jiahe around, he didn't believe Lu Jiahe would truly have the heart to sever ties with him.

“Thank you.”

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lu Jiayong gestured to his kneeling wife and daughter, wanting to leave quickly.

His unfilial son had just married a legitimate wife, but Lu Yunfei spent his days carousing, resulting in no offspring left.

Now, she could finally be put to use; it seemed he would have to pay more attention to this daughter-in-law in the future.

Their family had mistreated her, but once this daughter-in-law became pregnant with Yunfei's child, she would be confirmed as the next mistress of their household.

“Xiao Xuan, when will you speak to Lord Ye? We should handle this matter as soon as possible to avoid any unexpected issues.”

Before leaving, Lu Jiayong shamelessly asked.

“You can go now.”

?????

Lu Jiayong’s body stiffened, unsure what Lu Xuan meant.

You can go now?

Really? When did you inform Lord Ye? We didn't see you leave.

Lu Xuan didn't say much, ignoring Lu Jiayong and walking towards his father.

Seeing this, Lu Jiayong could only give an awkward smile to cover his embarrassment, not daring to ask any more questions, and then hurried away with his family.

However, what he didn't know was that Lu Xuan had already sent out a wisp of Divine Thought to inform Ye Qingshan just now!

Qingyun County Yamen!

At this moment, inside County Magistrate Ye Qingshan’s main council room, three people were discussing matters.

These three were County Magistrate Ye Qingshan, Archivist Liang Shanhai, and Chief Constable Chen Shi of the Yamen, discussing Yamen affairs.

And this matter, of course, was the recent murder case.

Ye Qingshan looked at Liang Shanhai, who was sitting to the side, and spoke calmly.

“Lao Liang, has your brother-in-law mentioned this matter?”

Upon hearing this, Liang Shanhai’s expression gradually darkened, as if he had thought of something unpleasant.

“Me? Alas!”

“Lao Ye, rest assured, my brother-in-law’s character is well-known.

He definitely won’t plead for that little beast.”

“I’m just worried that the trouble this little beast has caused will ultimately tarnish my brother-in-law’s reputation.”

When Liang Shanhai mentioned Lu Yunfei, his face became gloomy, and his mood grew extremely irritable.

The Lu family’s tradition had always been to be good to people and save lives; how could such a little beast who disregarded human life appear?

Just as Ye Qingshan was about to say something, the door was pushed open by an invisible large hand at that moment.

As a gust of wind swept across Ye Qingshan and the others’ faces, a wisp of purple Qi undulated in the air.

“Eh?”

“What is this thing?”

As Ye Qingshan and the others became cautious, a voice suddenly sounded in the room!

“Lord Ye, it’s me!”

At this sudden voice, Ye Qingshan and the others were instantly shocked.

This familiar voice, they were naturally very familiar with.

Lu Xuan!

Inside the first cell of the Yamen prison, a young man, only seventeen or eighteen years old, was confined within, his head encased in heavy shackles.

Even though the man was bound by heavy shackles, his expression was ferocious, and he was constantly cursing.

“You dog officials, release this young master quickly! My father won’t let you off!”

“My father is Lu Jiahe’s cousin! You damned dogs, I want you all to die!”

“It’s just killing two lowly maids! This young master has plenty of money, release this young master quickly!”

The two Yamen Runners guarding outside the cell were verbally abused by the man inside, but they chose to ignore him.

“Alas, this little beast actually has some strength!”

“He killed two people, yet he hasn’t been sentenced to beheading by Lord Ye!”

“Hey, hey, hey, Lao Gong, be careful what you say.”

“These matters are not for us to discuss.”

“Besides, this isn’t anything to make a fuss about.”

“I’ve seen many such things before; when the previous County Magistrate was here, there were even more exaggerated cases.”

“Forget it, forget it, I won’t say anymore!”

The Yamen Runner beside him suddenly realized he had said too much and quickly shut his mouth.

“Inside is the death row where Lu Yunfei is imprisoned. You few go in.”

“Remember, no tricks. Also, for this month, I will be responsible for leading you.”

At this moment, slight footsteps sounded in the prison corridor, accompanied by a talking voice.

Upon hearing this voice, the two Yamen Runners hurriedly stood up from their chairs and then walked quickly towards it.

“You two come out with me. For the next month, you just guard the door.”

“Yes, Chief!”

The two Yamen Runners hastily looked up and saw that there were three strangers beside their leader, two women and one man.

These three were all dressed in exquisite silk and satin, clearly gentlemen from wealthy families.

Seeing this scene, the two Yamen Runners exchanged glances, their eyes revealing an expression of 'as expected'.

They immediately recognized the identities of the newcomers, who clearly had a significant relationship with Lu Yunfei, who was imprisoned on death row.

And Lu Yunfei’s subsequent words revealed the origins of these people.

“Father, Mother, you’re finally here! Save me quickly!”

“Your son is so uncomfortable, I want to get out, I want to kill these dog officials, I want to kill them!”

“Shut up, you beast!”

“Gentlemen, I apologize, it is my fault for not raising my son properly. I have made you laugh.”

Lu Jiayong, seeing the Yamen Runners' expressions turn ugly, quickly cursed at Lu Yunfei inside the death row.

The leading Yamen Runner said nothing, but silently led the other two away.

Lu Yunfei, still inside the death row, was full of bewilderment, unable to believe that his father, who had indulged him since childhood, would one day curse him.

“Father, you cursed me!”

“Mother, look at Father, he cursed me!”

Clang!

The iron lock on the death row door was opened by Lu Jiayong with a key and fell heavily to the ground.

“Beast!”

“My, Lu Jiayong’s, face has been completely lost because of you, you beast.”

Slap!

While Lu Yunfei was still confused, Lu Jiayong quickly raised his right hand and gave Lu Yunfei a heavy slap.

This slap directly sent Lu Yunfei flying, crashing into the hard stone wall.

“You beast, listen to me. Within this month, you must leave a successor for our family.”

Lu Yunfei was dizzy from the heavy slap, and blood even flowed from the corner of his mouth.

However, after Lu Yunfei regained consciousness, he understood what his father meant.

Lu Yunfei ignored the stinging pain on his face, his expression turning panicked and desperate, and he spoke urgently.

“Father, what do you mean by this?!”

“Aren’t you here to save me?”

“Mother, save me quickly, I don’t want to die!”

“I won’t leave a successor, you must save me!”

At this moment, Lu Yunfei finally felt fear. His father, who had once indulged him, would one day be willing to abandon him.

“Hmph, that’s not up to you!”

Lu Jiayong had long known that Lu Yunfei would choose not to cooperate, so he had already prepared those things in advance.

Of course, it was the Lu family’s unique medicinal formula, a powerful tonic that could stimulate the deepest desires within the human body.

As a member of the Lu family, Lu Jiayong naturally had a deep understanding of the Lu family’s secret medicinal recipes.

Lu Jiayong finished speaking, reached into his Pregnant and took out a delicate small jade bottle.

“No, Father, I don’t want to, I don’t want to die!”

“I won’t dare again, please save me!”

Lu Jiayong turned a blind eye to Lu Yunfei’s apology, pouring out a small brown pill from the small jade bottle.

It’s hard to change one’s nature!

Lu Jiayong understood his son’s character very well; he could no longer turn back.

“Alright, Fei’er, everything will be over soon.”

“It’s just that you’re going a step ahead, Father doesn’t have many years left to live either, and will soon come to accompany you!”

………

Lu family!

When Lu Jiahe saw Lu Xuan return, his depressed mood completely disappeared.

“An’er, quickly arrange for someone to prepare a feast to welcome your elder brother.”

“Yes, Father!”

After Lu Yunan left, only Lu Xuan and Lu Jiahe remained in the main hall.

“Xuan’er, your return is so sudden, is there something wrong?”

Lu Jiahe looked at his son, who seemed to have changed, and was greatly surprised.

Lu Xuan’s temperament gave Lu Jiahe a completely different feeling than before.

This feeling was as if he, a mortal of the mundane world, was meeting an unblemished Immortal.

“Hmm.”

“Your son has indeed returned this time with some matters to tell you, Father.”

“For a period of time, your son will be leaving An Prefecture Baidao Prefecture and heading to the Great Xia Capital!”

“What?!”

“Xuan’er, why are you suddenly going to the Great Xia Capital?”

Lu Jiahe was startled by Lu Xuan’s words, not understanding why Lu Xuan was suddenly going to the Great Xia Capital.

That place was the center of the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty; Lu Jiahe felt scared just thinking about how terrifying the dangers there were.

“His Majesty has issued an Imperial Decree, summoning your son!”

Clang!

This crisp sound of breaking glass came from outside the door.

Lu Yunan had just personally carried in two cups of tea when he suddenly heard what Lu Xuan said.

This completely threw him off, and his hands accidentally tilted.

The Emperor of the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty wants to summon his elder brother?

This astonishing news was even more suffocating than encountering a ghost during the day.

Because, in the hearts of Lu Jiahe and the others, the Great Xia Emperor was the most noble existence within this Imperial Dynasty, a person who only lived in words.

Who would have thought that one day, Lu Xuan, a member of the Lu family, would actually be noticed by that supreme existence?

Lu Jiahe had no doubt about what Lu Xuan said.

Therefore, after calming down for a long time, Lu Jiahe suddenly remembered something and quickly stood up.

“Then Xuan’er, don’t waste any time. Hurry and depart for the Capital to meet Your Majesty!”

“We can’t keep His Majesty waiting!”

Lu Jiahe had originally intended to ask Lu Xuan how many days he would stay at home, but he didn’t expect his son to be summoned by the Great Xia Emperor.

Then there was no time to delay; he must immediately go to the Capital to meet His Majesty.

“Yes, Elder Brother, His Majesty’s summons is a matter of immense importance; this matter cannot be delayed!”

Lu Xuan looked at their exaggerated reactions, feeling a bit speechless. Wasn't it just an Imperial summons?

What was there to be so surprised about?

It seemed he had finally returned, and his father and younger brother were already eager to send him away.

Well, it was fine. Lu Xuan had returned just to see his father and, incidentally, leave a wisp of Divine Thought to protect his father.

“That’s good then, Father!”

“Your son’s martial Dao Realm has progressed this time, so I will leave you a protective force and then immediately depart for the Capital to meet Your Majesty!”

Lu Xuan finished speaking, and the God Palace in his mind trembled. Wisps of mysterious purple Qi flickered on Lu Xuan’s fingertips.

Then, those wisps of purple Qi, as light as smoke, seemed to lock onto Lu Jiahe, slowly flowing into his body from the top of his head.

After Lu Xuan had done all this, his eyes, which had glowed with purple light, slowly dimmed, returning to their normal appearance.

And Lu Jiahe, sitting in front of Lu Xuan, found that a strange warm current flashed through his body.

“Xuan’er, is this the same power you left before?”

Lu Jiahe’s eyes were filled with awe. His son’s methods were becoming more and more like those of the Immortals in legends.

Lu Yunan, standing beside him, also showed envy in his eyes.

It was a pity that his own martial Dao talent was too poor, making it impossible to Cultivate such miraculous power.

Moreover, his father had already decided that he would inherit the Lu family’s medical arts in the future.

“Hmm, almost!”

Lu Xuan didn’t explain much, confirming his father’s statement.

After doing all this, Lu Xuan should leave!
