Seekers Without Bounds

Chapter 139 The Old Duke of Miandu

For Lu Zhaohui, he actually preferred the old courtyard. The Duke's Mansion gave him only painful memories.

During these two days, the transfer orders to the Shenshu Temple for Shi Xunfei and Lu Zhaohui also came down.

Shi Xunfei still returned to the mercenary camp.

Interestingly, when Madam Hou saw Shi Xunfei's transfer order, she laughed foolishly for a long time, recalling the beautiful memories of her youth.

Because she entered the Temple of the Sacred Tree with Wuxie back then.

Wuxie also went to the outer mercenary camp, while she went to the inner Taixuan camp.

Lu Zhaohui went directly to Wisteria Pavilion, reportedly because of him.

The old duke even came forward and sent a letter to the Temple of the Sacred Tree.

Of course, the two parties involved didn’t know much yet. They only knew that they would go to the Sacred Tree Temple in a few days.

I don’t know what Maoqiu ate, but his stomach felt like there was a big ball hidden in it. He felt drowsy when he came back.

It even took over Shi Xunfei's bed and slept all day long. And it also brought back a red bird.

"I really don't know how it got into Lin Bo's spirit animal garden."

When Shi Xunfei and Lu Zhaohui saw the bird that Maoqiu brought back, they knew where it had gone.

When I went to Uncle Lin's house that day, I deliberately didn't bring it with me because I was afraid of attracting covetousness.

Now, Maoqiu went there by himself and broke through the wind-cold protective iron gauze net in the Spirit Beast Garden.

Both of them admired it. After all, the security at Lin Bo's Mansion was even stricter than that at the Duke's Mansion.

Now, there is chaos in Lin Bo's mansion. No one has ever thought about the extremely tough Beiliu Fenghan refined iron.

There was a big hole in the hole! Many birds ran out from it.

"Spread the news to me. Anyone who can provide clues will be rewarded with 100,000 amber crystals!"

Those birds are Lin Bo’s life. Now all the guards in the mansion are trying to catch the birds.

While still in Cotton City, Shi Xunfei learned the basics of Fengyu.

No matter whether Ashin can learn it or not, I will teach him anyway.

He also left behind Guan Ting's Sutra Tube. Except for the Wind Array, none of Guan Ting's skills were suitable for him, so he might as well pass them on to Ah Xin.

"Ah Xin, what are you doing!?" Ah Xin, who wanted to kneel down, was supported by Shi Xunfei using the wind power.

The scene is very similar to that of Shi Xunfei and Wuxie back then.

"Brother Shi, you taught me martial arts, so I should take you as my master!" Ashin said seriously.

"No need, I only taught you the basic Feiyang Jue. The other Fengyu techniques are not what I learned. As long as one day you can enter the rank, I will take you to meet the real master!"

Shi Xunfei was like helping the old commander and accepted a successor to his martial arts skills.

He died to save himself, but he could not stay in Washi Village for long.

I hope Ashin can be promoted to a higher rank and carry on the old commander’s legacy.

"There are also four Wind Chasing Spears and a Wind Whispering Scimitar."

Shi Xunfei gave all the Wind Whisper weapons left by Guan Ting to Ah Xin.

"That's all I can teach you. Remember the mantra that the Wind Whisperer Warrior must never forget. If there is wind, follow it!"

After explaining the skills and weapons, he said goodbye to Ah Xin. He and Lu Zhaohui would set off for the God Tree Temple soon.

From a distance, Ah Xin kowtowed three times to Lu Zhaohui and Shi Xunfei.

Turning around and leaving the Duke's Mansion, his life had changed drastically from this moment on.

"Have you completely given up on Lu Xiaofan? I think he's not bad." Shi Xunfei said as he watched Ah Xin leave.

"Some people can only share adversity, but not prosperity. Not killing them is the greatest tolerance I can show."

Lu Zhaohui has now appointed Axin to take charge of his underground world in Cotton City.

"Now that the Wind-Chasing Spear has been given to Ah Xin, what should we do with your wind formation?" Lu Zhaohui asked.

"The last confrontation with your aunt gave me inspiration. My Qianzhe technique can complement the wind formation and is not restricted by objects. The formation is hidden in the wind."

If Shi Xunfei can give it to Ah Xin, then I must have a better choice.

"You are really a martial arts fanatic. You'd better take it easy." Lu Zhaohui admired Shi Xunfei's almost crazy practice, but he was also worried that he might go astray.

"I'm different from you. There are some things I can only do at the risk of my life." Shi Xunfei thought of Feiying and Feiyan who had no idea what to do.

Especially after seeing Aunt Hou's strength, the gap between himself and the top warriors is still as huge as a chasm.

As the two chatted, a message came in: Lu Zhaohui's grandfather wanted to see him.

"I wonder what my grandfather, whom I have never met, would think."

From birth to now, Lu Zhaohui has never seen the old Duke.

After all, it is in the Duke's Palace, and it is very close to the old Duke's residence.

Lin Suwei took Lu Zhaohui into the deepest part of the garden.

It can be seen that the trees here are specially arranged, with rich wood spiritual energy, and they are all plants that can prolong life.

"Let him in." The old duke's voice was very magnetic.

"Grandson Lu Zhaohui meets grandfather." Lu Zhaohui followed the etiquette of the older generation, which was a bit cumbersome.

The old duke was leaning on the couch by the window, covered with a small quilt embroidered with fine flowers, his face was pale and bloodless, and the marquis's wife was beside him, making tea.

"Next time, don't spend so much time on meaningless things. Just keep it simple." The old duke actually hated red tape the most.

"As I should. I wish you a speedy recovery." In Lu Zhaohui's mind, his grandfather should be more powerful than his aunt.

Unexpectedly, he was tortured by illness and could hardly get up, and was not much different from an ordinary old man.

"Will you blame me for not seeing you until today after you've grown up so much?" asked the old duke.

"No, caring and loving each other has little to do with seeing more or less. If Grandpa hadn't asked Master to teach me the bloodthirsty technique, I wouldn't be alive today."

Although Lu Zhaohui is young, his understanding of human nature far exceeds that of ordinary people.

"Haha, I didn't expect that my grandson is much stronger than my son." The old duke showed a long-lost smile.

"I heard from Youjun that you gave up the fight for the position of Duke?" he asked, changing the subject.

Mrs. Hou, who was making tea, also stopped and looked at Lu Zhaohui.

"That's right. My aunt's strength is something I will never be able to reach in my lifetime. If I want to glorify the Duke's Mansion, she is the only one who can do it."

Lu Zhaohui already hated the title of Duke, but when he said it in front of his grandfather, he felt a sense of relief.

"In this world, there are many things that you can't push away just because you want to.

It doesn't matter if you don't want the dukedom. Just change your last name back.

After your father died, you and Youjun were the only ones left in our Liu family.

Don’t hate your aunt for some things. If you want to survive in Miandu, you have to be a knife to scrape your bones, both to your enemies and to yourself.”

The old duke's words made Lu Zhaohui's heart surge. The reason why he took the surname Lu was because he hated the pain his father and the duke's mansion had brought him.

"Grandpa, I..."

"I know your hatred, and I can tell you now. Your identity is not because of your mother, but because of Liu Yousheng.

Nie Yinniang is a bloodthirsty little princess of Yeluo Kingdom with unparalleled talent.

Your father is the illegitimate child. He is not worthy of Nie Yinniang, and he has let her down."

Lu Zhaohui's eyes turned red and he wanted to speak, but the Duke waved his hand to stop him.

"I know how he treated you, it's actually because he couldn't face his own incompetence.

Whether in terms of martial arts or means of controlling people, he is far inferior to Youjun.

You were originally his only hope, but you happened to be a bloodthirsty warrior.

But what he didn't know was that once you reach the Grandmaster level, there is no need to classify warriors."
