Chapter Thirteen: Look at Your Miserable State, Three Watches Seeking Collection

  At this time, everyone was also staring at the tree, wondering who was on it. Among the crowd of girls, the frontmost Lu Wushuang was also staring at the sky in shock. As far as she knew, there was no such person among the younger generation of the Lu family.

  "Sorry, I couldn't help but interrupt your fun, please forgive me." Lu Shao Yu couldn't help but smile wryly at this moment, standing on the tree. He didn't expect that one careless move would expose himself. Under helpless circumstances, he held onto the trunk and climbed down awkwardly, looking utterly disheveled.

  Lu Shaoyou also wanted to jump down with ease, but he couldn't reveal his identity as a martial artist yet, so he could only pretend to be helpless. The young men and women present were all from martial arts families, and according to Lu Shaoyou's knowledge, the young men and women of the Lu family were all extremely talented individuals who had been trained since childhood. Although they were only 16 or 17 years old, most of them had already reached the level of a warrior. Especially Lu Wushuang, who was not a member of the Lu family by blood but had been doted on by his uncle since childhood and had exceptional talent. At the age of 19, he had unbelievably reached the level of a martial master and was a young genius renowned outside the Lu family.

  In the eyes of these practitioners, Lu Shaoyou knew that he had to hold back, if he were to exert his true energy, he would likely quickly reveal himself as a martial artist, and at that time, it wouldn't be good for him.

  "Lu Shaoyou, is that you? How did you end up here? Are you even supposed to be here?" Seeing that it was indeed Lu Shaoyou, Lu Shaohu's expression immediately turned cold, his eyes revealing a look of disdain and anger. Just now, this Lu Shaoyou had stolen the spotlight from him.

  "Shaoyou, how are you here?" At this time, Lu Shaoyou was seen, and Lu Wushuang was also greatly surprised. He immediately composed himself and walked to Lu Shaoyou's side.

  "Unmatched sister, I saw a bird on the tree, so I went to take a look. Unexpectedly, you all came." Lu Shao Yu said helplessly, among these people, he only cared about this Lu Wu Duan.

  Lu Shao Yu immediately scanned the people in the room with an expressionless face. His appearance seemed to have startled everyone in the Lu family, and Lu Mei's eyes, which had originally been filled with a hint of infatuation, also turned ugly as soon as she saw him.

  For these, Lu Shaoyou naturally didn't care, anyway he and the Lu family didn't want to get entangled too much, when one day he had the ability, he would take his mother away, in his heart, the Lu family didn't have any status.

  "Jokes, in this cold winter, where did the birds come from on the tree." Zhou Haiming was not very welcoming to Lu Shaoyou, and now seeing that it was actually Lu Shaoyou who stole the show in front of him, his expression became even more unpleasant. If it weren't for the presence of Miss Dugu and her entourage, he would have probably beaten up Lu Shaoyou by now.

  "There were originally birds in the tree, but they were scared away by your meticulously crafted scenery. The arrival of winter and the clarity of spring are all so delightful." Lu Shao said lightly.

  When Lu Shao Yu spoke, everyone except for the maid with acne on her face was quietly laughing, including Lu Wu Shuang who looked at Lu Shao Yu with some confusion, as if she felt that today's Lu Shao Yu seemed to be a bit different from before.

  "Sorry to disturb the young lady's pleasure, I'll take my leave." Lu Shaoyou also couldn't be bothered with Zhou Haiming again, and apologized once more to the maid. With a flick of his worn-out sleeve, he left with a faint arc at the corner of his mouth, which was either mocking or disdainful towards Zhou Haiming.

  At this time, the maid was staring at Lu Shaoyou, and her eyes suddenly had some inexplicable daze.

  "Who was that just now?" The maid asked softly as she watched Lu Shaoyou's back disappear.

  "He's just a servant, can't even cultivate, what a waste." Lu Shaohu said suddenly.

  "Shaohu, how can you say that about your brother? Shaoyou is also your brother." Upon hearing Lü Shaohu's words, Lü Wushuang's expression slightly furrowed, then she smiled and said to the maid, "He is my third uncle's son, named Lü Shaoyou. Because of some special reasons... let's just continue our stroll."

  "Hmm." Upon hearing Lu Wushuang's tender scolding, Lu Shaohu also had no choice but to hum a soft response. Although Lu Wushuang wasn't born of the Lu family's bloodline, her status in the Lu household was extremely high, and even the old master doted on her excessively, so he didn't dare do anything about it.

  "Lu Shaoyou..." The maid gazed in the direction where Lu Shaoyou's back disappeared, then looked again.

  Lu Shao Yu returned to his own courtyard from the backyard and happened to run into Lu Xiao Bai, who came rushing over with an excited expression.

  "Gongzi, I saw that Dugu Miss, she's really beautiful, almost as good as Wushuang Miss." Lu Xiaobai excitedly said to Lu Shaoyou.

  "En, generally speaking." Lu Shaoyou smiled slightly and said that although Du Gu Xuan was also good, compared to Lu Wushuang, Lu Wushuang had an extra temperament and clarity. In terms of temperament, Du Gu Xuan couldn't be compared with Lu Wushuang.

  "It's not like I've seen it, but I think it's really good, hehe." Lu Xiaobai chuckled and said: "Unfortunately, that kind of young lady would never look at me. But I think the little maid in the front yard is pretty good, however, I'm just a low-ranking servant, she doesn't even bother with me. If you were like Young Master Shaohu, and I followed you, Little Cui would definitely pay attention to me."

  "Look at you... " Lu Shaoyou glared at Lu Xiaobai, and then his eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief. "From now on, you'll follow me, Young Master. I'll make sure you live a life of luxury, and I'll even marry off seven golden daughters to you, one for each day of the week, no repeats."

  "Gongzi, what is a week?" Lu Xiaobai asked in confusion.

  "It just means seven days." Lu Shaoyou rubbed his head, as if there was no such word as "week" in this world.

  "You're all talk, if that day really comes, I'll do whatever you want." Lu Xiaobai let out a soft sigh. This young master is already struggling to protect himself, and he's just a low-ranking servant who has been sold to the Lu family since childhood. He doesn't have much of a future to speak of in this lifetime.

  Lu Shaoyou smiled slightly and gazed at Lu Xiaobai, thinking that he was quite alone in his hometown, but this Lu Xiaobai was clever and if he could be nurtured a bit, he might become his trusted right-hand man in the future. Lu Xiaobai's loyalty was also absolutely unquestionable.

  At this time, Lu Xiao Bai naturally did not think that soon after, his fate would change from then on. After many years, the entire Ling Wu continent knew that there was a Lu Xiao Bai who was one of the most trusted people by Lu Shao Yu's side.

  Everything in the backyard was just an episode, after nightfall, Lu Shaoyou quietly returned to the secret room of the thatched cottage again, and the old servant Nan Shu had already arrived at the secret room.

  In the following days, Lu Shao traveled every night with Lao Biren Nan Shu to learn about alchemy and weapon forging, as well as cultivating spiritual medicine. However, all of this was purely theoretical knowledge for Lu Shao, and he had never actually practiced any of it before.

  Between the spiritual and martial practitioners, Lu Shouyou also had a complete understanding. Martial practitioners cultivate the power within their bodies, including tendons, bones, muscles, heart, liver, spleen, lungs, etc. The true energy cultivated is stored in the dantian qihai, and as it becomes full, it will break through levels.

  And the spiritual cultivator focuses on cultivating spiritual power, not physical body. According to Lu Shao's understanding, this so-called spiritual power is also known as soul power or mental power, relying on strong spiritual power to fight against enemies.

  Because the conditions for cultivating a spiritual practitioner are extremely harsh, first of all, one must have spiritual strength that is at least twice as strong as that of an ordinary person, which has already made countless people hesitant and unable to achieve.

  Due to the rarity of spiritual beings and their role, they have gained a status that surpasses even that of warriors.

  It's late at night, and I'll be posting new book chapters intermittently with occasional small updates. Thanks for your support, brothers! Also, thanks to ainiping2006 for the reward!
