Chapter Fifty-One: A Chill in the Air at the First Watch

  "Seeking collection recommendations, thank you to the brothers who rewarded me in the past two days."

  "Go ahead, whatever the Lu family can do will definitely be fine," said Lu Wushuang.

  Lu Shao Yu gazed at Lu Wu Shuang and said, "If you want me to acknowledge my ancestors and return to the clan, first let my mother have a formal name and status, she can't be just a concubine. Otherwise, no matter who says it, it's useless."

  "This...". Lu Wushuang hesitated for a moment before saying: "I need to discuss this matter with Father, Shaoyou, you can move to the front yard first, it's safer. Also, the Land Family's Cangwu Pavilion, you can enter now. In another month, there will be a competition among the various families in Qingyun Town, go take a look, maybe it'll be helpful to you."

  Lu Shao was also pondering in his heart, he had encountered an assassination attempt in the backyard, if not for his good fortune, he would have died. This was indeed unsafe in the backyard, once in the front yard, with any movement of wind or grass, the strong ones in the Lu family would immediately know.

  After repeated hesitation, Lu Shaoyou also considered that apart from his own safety, there was also the safety of his mother. In this backyard, the safety of his own mother was not guaranteed. You Zhao Hui wanted to deal with him, and it was possible that he would deal with his mother at some point in time.

  As for Zhao Hui, Lu Shao's heart was filled with anger, but he couldn't do anything about it. Zhao Hui's strength was too powerful, and at this moment, Lu Shao wasn't even a match for him. Otherwise, he would have struck to kill him immediately to eliminate future troubles.

  "Alright, I can move to the front yard first, but that condition just now is absolutely non-negotiable." Lu Shaoyou said, his mother's reputation, he must fight for it, this is what his mother deserves.

  "Alright, I'll talk to Father about it." Seeing Lu Shao Yu agree to go to the front yard, Lu Wu Shuang revealed a smile.

  "This courtyard is so big and beautiful."

  In a spacious courtyard, Lu Xiaobai excitedly said that inside the courtyard, there is also this artificial hill and fish pond, where many goldfish are swimming happily.

  Lu Shaoyou looked around the courtyard, which was quite like a villa, surrounded by green plants and flowers, fresh and elegant. Compared to the backyard, it was a world of difference. It seemed that the Lu family also had a rich foundation.

  "Shao You, how is it here? I helped you pick this place out, and I live next door." Lu Wu said.

  "It's great here, thanks a lot, Wushuang sister." Lu Shaoyou said.

  "Alright, Shao You, you go and select a few servants later, usually sweep the courtyard, and take care of you and Third Aunt." Lu Wushuang said, according to the configuration of the direct young master of the Lu family, he can have one small steward and five servants.

  "Xiao Bai, this matter is now left to you, from now on, just stay here." Lu Shaoyou said.

  "Yes, young master." Lu Xiaobai replied, following closely behind him was naturally much better.

  "Alright, Mother, I'll be in seclusion for about ten days and need to go out on a trip. You can stay here," said Lu Shaoyou, after making arrangements for his mother, with Lu Xiaobai taking care of her, and also being in the front yard, Lu Shaoyou no longer had any other worries.

  "If you're going to seclude yourself, be careful." Lord Roland didn't stop him; his son was already a warrior, and secluding himself for training was normal. The competition in Qingyun Town was about to begin, so it was only natural that he would prepare thoroughly.

  "Shao You, where are you going to retreat? The Lu family has a place for closed-door cultivation." said Lu Wushuang.

  "Unparalleled sister, I have a place to retreat on my own, so I'll trouble you to take care of things here." Lu Shaoyou said, his retreat was actually to refine elixirs, and it would be better in Nan Shu's secret chamber.

  "Alright, be careful then." Lu Wushuang didn't say anything more. With only a month left until the competition in Qingyun Town, it was indeed necessary to make good preparations.

  After nightfall, Lu Shaoyou went to the secret room in the backyard shed. In ten days' time, he would be able to pay off his debt if he worked hard.

  After making sure no one was around, Lu Shaoyou flashed into the secret room, and suddenly his eyes widened in shock. Nan Shu had calculated that he would generally be inside the secret room again.

  "How are you still not dead? You're lucky, kid." Old servant Nan Shu said quietly.

  "Nan Shu, people can scare each other to death." Lu Shaoyou said lightly, then wondered: "How did you know I was ambushed?"

  "I didn't know how, but next time you go out be more careful, this time it's lucky for you." said old servant Nan Shu.

  "Nan Shu, you know I'm in danger and you don't lend a hand, that's too inhumane." Lu Shaoyou said.

  "Your father isn't dead yet, what do you want me to do? Besides, I have nothing to do with you, what are you doing here?" Old servant Nan Shu glared at Lu Shaoyou and said.

  "I'll just find a place to refine the elixir, and it's only your place that's available, don't be stingy." Lu Shaoyou said with an evil smile, knowing that Nan Shu wouldn't really drive him away.

  "This time you revealed the Three-System Warrior, it's likely to have both advantages and disadvantages. Be careful yourself, and pay attention when going out later." Old servant Nan Shu said, then walked outside, stopped for a moment, and said: "When the time comes, go to the Lu family to practice some martial arts, you only know the Mountain-Opening Palm, it's a bit embarrassing."

  "You just know." Lu Shaoyou muttered, making a ghostly face, but didn't dare to speak loudly. As a martial artist himself, he only knew how to use the Mountain Splitting Palm, which was indeed somewhat insufficient.

  After Nan Shu left, the secret room was closed, and Lu Shaoyou took out the Huo Long Ding. The two large packages of medicinal materials in the storage ring were also placed in the secret room. From then on, he had to frantically refine the elixir.

  "Let's refine the Top-grade Elixir first." Although the Top-grade Elixir was a bit pricey, refining it himself would be extremely fast and errors were unlikely to occur. Lu Shaoyou decided to refine the Top-grade Elixir to repay his debt first.

  He sat cross-legged, his hands forming a seal, and spiritual energy flowed from the mouth of the fire dragon into the cauldron. Instantly, flames appeared inside the cauldron, and Lu Shouyu began to add the familiar medicinal materials for refining the Crown Top Pill.

  Refining the top-grade elixir, at this point for Lu Shaoyou, it's already very easy, but now Lu Shaoyou wants to refine a hundred of them, which is absolutely not an easy task. Calculating these one hundred top-grade elixirs, Lu Shaoyou also guessed that his account should be clear by now.

  In the courtyard, Zhao Hui's face was filled with rage, her eyes gleaming fiercely as she shouted: "I didn't think that even this couldn't kill that bastard. He deserves to die, and he absolutely cannot be allowed to enter Cloud Yang Sect, or else it will be even harder to deal with him."

  "Miss, it seems there's no other way now. Once the Lu family decides to make him acknowledge his ancestry, it looks like they're prepared to break off relations with us if that kid doesn't acknowledge his ancestors." Zhao Er said beside her.

  "That's for sure, that kid is lucky to be a Three-System Warrior, the Lu family will definitely not let go, it's just a pity that they lost this opportunity." Zhao Hui said coldly.

  "Miss, we had an agreement with the Zhao family at first, and we cannot let that little guy recognize his ancestors," said Zhao Er.

  "But we had manipulated that kid, however, it was seen through by the old man of the Lu family. He used this matter to shut my mouth and I couldn't do anything about it. It's infuriating, that little bastard must have had some kind of opportunity to undo our manipulation, otherwise how could he become a warrior?" Zhao Hui said coldly.

  "What are we going to do now? That kid has already moved into the front yard, and it's even harder for us to deal with." Zhao Er said.

  "Wait for an opportunity, we must not let that little brat live, otherwise it will affect our entire plan." Zhao Hui said with a cold expression.

  "Madam, the master is calling in the hall." A personal maid with a red and swollen face slowly walked in, it was Xiao Lan, the maid who had been brutally beaten by Lu Shaoyou. At this time, her face was still bruised, her mouth corner was also red and swollen, and her eyes were black and blue, which made Zhao Er coldly startled.

  "Do you know what's going on?" Zhao Hui asked with a serious expression.

  "Old Master held an overnight meeting with the clan's elders, it seems like something big is happening." Xiaolan said softly, her voice somewhat different from before, probably due to being beaten by Lu Shaoyou and affecting her vocal cords.

  "It's a big deal..." Zhao Hui's expression changed slightly, and he immediately stepped out of the room.

  In the main hall of the Lu family, there were more than 20 people sitting upright at this time. Among them were Lu Dong, Lu Xi, Lu Nan, Zhou Lixing and many elderly people who had been seen during the ancestor worship ceremony, all of whom were some of the elder members of the Lu family clan.
