Before I could figure it out, Chen Xuande persuaded me, "Zhou Yi, I think you shouldn't stay here any longer. Go back to your Shenzhen branch as soon as possible. When the Lu family really comes, you'll have something to rely on."
After he said that, I smiled wryly. Although I was the vice president of the Shenzhen branch, what did I have to rely on?
Not only did I not have anything to rely on, even President Xu and I were half enemies.
After thinking for a while, I shook my head and said, "There's no need to panic. After crippling Lu Zhenyang's arm, it wouldn't be strange for the Lu family to do anything. But after all, so much time has passed. If the Lu family wanted to take revenge, they would've come long ago. Since they could drag it until now, it proves that the Lu family still have some scruples."
That was indeed what I thought, but after hearing what I said, Chen Xuande's expression didn't change at all. Instead, he shook his head and said to me, "The Lu family is famous for being arrogant and despotic. They definitely won't let this matter go.
Also, you're wrong. Although the Lu family is big, it has always been difficult for the metaphysics world to interfere with ordinary people's matters. The Lu family didn't do anything during this period of time, but it might not be because they have scruples … "
En?
I frowned and quickly thought about it.
After the Young Phoenix Gathering, the Lu family would have scruples in the beginning. After all, I was the Young Phoenix of this generation. They had to give face to the Metaphysics Union, so it was impossible for the Lu family to take action immediately.
After that, I had a conflict with the people of the Ghost Raising Sect and was chased by Liang Tianxin. The Lu family couldn't find me.
Calculating the time, if the Lu family wanted to take revenge, it seemed that this period of time was really suitable.
My heart sank when I thought of this.
It wasn't that I regretted it. When I was in the Dragon Seeking Realm to deal with Lu Zhenyang, who was in the Acupuncture Point Realm, I would've died if I wasn't careful. I couldn't have held back.
No matter what the result was, it was much better than me dying in Lu Zhenyang's hands.
I wasn't too afraid. After all, I had the experience of being chased by Liang Tianxin. No matter how strong the Lu family was, it wasn't enough to make me afraid.
The only thing I was worried about was that I was at home. If the Lu family came to take revenge, would it implicate my family?
Instantly, my face paled. I hastily bid farewell to Chen Xuande and prepared to leave this place.
But then, I suddenly thought of something. Since the Lu family had found this place, it would be easy for them to find my family. If I ran away, would they take my family as hostages?
If it was someone like Han Wennan, I definitely wouldn't be worried about such a situation. However, I didn't dare to trust Lu Zhenyang's character.
After forcing myself to calm down, I called out to Chen Xuande again and said to him, "Uncle Chen, from President Xie's attitude, this matter was most likely leaked to the Lu family by him. If the Lu family comes looking for us, they will most likely find President Xie first. If it's possible, please help keep an eye on President Xie these few days. Once the Lu family appears, immediately call me."
The current relationship between Chen Xuande and me was no longer the same as before, but after I said that, he pondered for a moment before saying to me with a wry smile, "I can help you with this matter, but that's all I can help you with. It's not that I'm not loyal, but after Master and my juniors left, I'm the only one left in the older generation in our branch. The group of juniors are all counting on me.
I can't guarantee that Master's teachings will be passed down, but I have to guarantee that I will raise this group of children smoothly.
Zhou Yi, I'm really sorry. "
After hearing his words, my opinion of him had completely changed.
After Old He, He Yuanshan and the others were killed by Liang Tianxin, there were only some youngsters of the third generation left in their branch besides him. This included He Yuanshan's only son and Old He's only grandson.
With such a mission on his shoulders, it was no wonder that Chen Xuande had such a personality.
I nodded and said to him gratefully, "Uncle Chen, it's already very good of you to be able to help me up to this point. In addition, I have some money with me. We, the people of the Metaphysics world, start cultivating from a young age, so we can't lack money. Take it and give it to the children.
In addition, there were other people involved in that matter. If it's possible, I'd like to ask Uncle Chen to take care of the descendants of those people. "
After saying that, I handed over a bank card that I had prepared earlier.
This card contained the three million RMB that Wang Yongjun had previously given me.
Chen Xuande was stunned and said with a frown, "It's only right to take care of the descendants of those people, but this matter doesn't have much to do with you. Why do you have to do this?"
I shook my head with a wry smile. "In fact, this matter has a lot to do with me, but I can't tell you the reason for it for the time being. You must take this money. In addition, I'll transfer some money to this card every year."
Chen Xuande was silent for a while, but in the end, he still took the card.
It wasn't convenient for me to stay here for long, so I hurriedly left the Taiyuan branch and rushed back home.
From that day onwards, I stayed at home and didn't dare to go far. At the same time, I thought of a way to deal with the Lu family.
However, no matter how hard I thought, I couldn't come up with a solution.
With my parents here, I couldn't run away by myself. If I brought my parents along, where could I run to?
Before I could make up my mind, a week later, Chen Xuande finally sent me news that the Lu family had appeared.
Moreover, Chen Xuande saw the Lu family's people with his own eyes. According to him, there were several people from the Lu family. One of them was a young man with a broken arm. He should be Lu Zhenyang.
Lu Zhenyang actually came personally!
I felt even more depressed. A broken arm had a great impact on one's cultivation. Even if Lu Zhenyang's strength wasn't ordinary, it was best for him to stay at home and recuperate. Yet, he disregarded everything and personally came to look for me. It could be seen how much hatred he had in his heart.
After receiving this news, I didn't hesitate and immediately made up my mind.
Lu Zhenyang definitely wouldn't let me off. He wouldn't even let my family off. No matter what, I had to take my parents and leave this place. I had to hide somewhere else to avoid the Lu family.
However, just as I was about to go and explain the situation to my parents, my heart suddenly shivered and my footsteps stopped.
I felt a strong fluctuation of Dao energy not far from my house.
This fluctuation of Dao energy was emitted from a person's body. Moreover, from what I could feel, this person was at least at the peak of Pressure Point Realm or even at the Glorious Knowledge realm!
Had the Lu family already arrived?
I hurried out of my house and walked to the front door to take a look. On the side of the road outside my house, there was an unfamiliar middle-aged man sitting cross-legged. When he saw me come out, he stared at me like a hawk. A playful smile appeared on his face, but he didn't say anything to me. He didn't even stand up. He just looked at me silently.
In an instant, I understood. This person was definitely sent by Lu Zhenyang to keep an eye on me and not let me leave first!
At this time, it had only been half an hour since Chen Xuande's call. What a ruthless and decisive Lu Zhenyang. He had probably asked for my address the moment he arrived and sent someone to keep an eye on me.
I couldn't help but admit that Lu Zhenyang had grown a lot compared to the time at the Young Phoenix Gathering. In the past, he definitely wouldn't have been able to use such methods.
My heart became even more gloomy. Chen Xuande told me that Lu Zhenyang didn't just bring one person, but even if it was just one person, I might not be able to defeat him even if I risked my life … What should I do?
I silently stood there and thought for a minute. Then, I turned around and returned home. I directly ran to my parents and briefly told them about the situation. Then, I said to them, "I have a way to stall the person in front of the door. You two can use this chance to run out and then take the train to the train station. When you're out of town, contact me and I'll come find you."
After I finished speaking, my parents still had a confused expression. It seemed that they didn't understand what I said. In the end, my dad frowned and asked, "Third Baby, you said that someone came to take revenge on you?
Then can't we just call the police? "
My mom quickly followed up, "Yeah, let's call the police. When the police come, we'll be safe. Why do we have to run out of town?"
I opened my mouth, but I really didn't know how to explain.
The police … To people in the metaphysics world, they were really too weak.
Looking at Lu Zhenyang's attitude, not to mention the police, even if he called the special forces, they wouldn't be able to stop him.
Just as I wanted to continue persuading them, there was another wave of energy from afar. This time, there were at least five or six people.
