One was bad news and the other was good news.
Lu Li, Lu Ling and Lu Feixue all felt sad, especially since Lu Ling had deep feelings for her mother.
In her memory, her mother was beautiful, gentle and loving. Lu Ling had been missing her for more than a decade. She didn't expect that things would end like this.
Of course, Lu Ling had prepared herself for this. After all, her mother was already weak and could die at any time.
All these years, she had been hoping that Lu Renhuang could save her mother.
Lu Ling didn't feel well at all. She stayed in her room by herself, neither eating nor talking. She was in a half-awake state all day long.
She had been living a hard life over the years. She had been under great pressure. She had been scheming against others all the time and she had been on guard against being schemed against.
Now that she had unsealed her memory and returned to the Northern Desert to receive this news, she felt terrible.
She had always been a strong-willed person. She was almost raped at the Di Long Tribe. She stayed in the mountains for several days and crawled back home.
She didn't shed a tear. She didn't say anything to Lu Li. She suffered in silence.
Therefore, she locked herself in her room. She didn't want others to see her weak side, to see her in pain.
Lu Li didn't know how to feel either. If Lu Renhuang could show up, maybe everyone would feel better.
But Lu Renhuang was nowhere to be found. His mother had passed away. Lu Li, who was full of hope, was disappointed.
He had a hunch that Lu Renhuang must have his reasons for not showing up.
Maybe he had gone back to the Central Plains to visit Lu Zhengyang.
Or maybe he had gone to find his enemies to avenge his mother.
That being said, as long as Lu Renhuang came out, they would meet again.
Lu Li forced himself to pull himself together. Lu Ling seemed to be ill. Lu Feixue was in a bad mood. He had to support the family.
Over the years, he had gotten used to being strong and shouldering the burden for others.
When he went to Madam Yan, he didn't explain Lu Ling's identity. He just told her not to leak the news that he was at the Northern Desert.
Also, he asked Ming Yu to mobilize a secret team to search for spies and capture any suspicious ones.
Lu Li didn't say anything about Lu Renhuang. Since Lu Renhuang didn't show up, Lu Li wouldn't be so silly as to tell the world that Lu Renhuang had come out.
He sent a patriarch of the Cyan Phoenix Race to the Deserted World to find God of Meng and the others. He told God of Meng to take Hu Lang and the other four to hide in the Snow Mountain of Dragons and to keep the news to himself.
He also asked Ye Cha to send people to block the entrances and exits of the Deserted World. Without his order, no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Lu Li himself didn't leave the Ling Empress City. He didn't even leave the imperial palace.
By the looks of it, Lu Ling was ill. She was in a coma, half awake and half asleep. Sometimes, when she fell asleep, she would wake up from nightmares.
Lu Li stayed with Lu Ling day and night to take care of her. Lu Feixue would come to visit often. Lu Li and Lu Feixue felt sorry for Lu Ling when they saw her pale face.
Lu Ling finally recovered after 10 days of rest. She was still pale, but she had adjusted her emotions.
"Lu Li, don't send anyone to find father. He will come back to us after he finishes his business.
The news about father must be sealed. No one is allowed to spread it. "
Lu Ling said. Lu Li nodded. He was of the same mind.
He was relieved that Lu Ling brought it up on her own. He knew that she had recovered a bit from her grief.
Lu Ling stood in a daze for a while and said, "Let's go to my grandpa's grave in a couple of days."
"Okay!"
Lu Li nodded. He thought about it and explained, "My grandpa's grave and Great Uncle Five's grave are at the Thousand-island Lake. Back then …"
Lu Li told her what happened. At first, Lu Ling was filled with killing intent. But when she learned that the Bu Family Patriarch and warriors that dug up her grandpa's grave were all killed, she felt better.
"Such a shame."
Lu Ling sighed and said, "Mother's grave is at the bottom of the abyss. We are too weak. We can't even go to her grave and kowtow."
"Sis!"
Lu Li said, "Don't worry. As long as we work hard, we will be able to go down there sooner or later."
Lu Ling closed her eyes in exhaustion. Lu Li stood up and said, "Sis, rest for a couple of days. I will take you to the Thousand-island Lake later."
…
Five days later, Lu Li and Lu Ling quietly arrived at the Dragon Elephant Mountain at the Blood Evil Island of the Thousand-island Lake. The remains of his grandpa, Great Uncle Five and many others were buried here.
"Squeak, squeak ~"
Little White returned to the old haunt and ran away by itself happily. Lu Li and Lu Ling knelt down with respect. Liu Yi followed behind them and knelt down as well.
The nearby lands were all given to the Liu Family. The Dragon Elephant Mountain had always been guarded by warriors of the Liu Family.
In order not to alarm the warriors, Lu Li had to send someone to secretly inform Liu Yi to make arrangements.
Liu Yi's realm was not high. She was only at the initial stage of the Fate Wheel Realm. She had to spend a lot of Mystical Materials to get there. She even failed to make a Fate Wheel once.
With Lu Li as their backer, the Liu Family was enjoying a comfortable life.
Not only did they get the God-down Island, but they also controlled several Fourth-rank islands nearby. All of these were given to Liu Yi by Madam Yan. Of course, it was for Lu Li's sake.
Liu Yi had met Lu Ling before. But now, she felt she was a stranger.
Not only was Lu Ling's leg healed, but she had also reached the Noble Lord Realm. She was emitting a superior aura which made Liu Yi afraid to look at her directly.
After the ceremony, Lu Ling looked back at Liu Yi. She was still a virgin. She turned back to Lu Li but said nothing.
Back then, Liu Yi wanted to pursue Lu Li. Lu Ling even joked that Liu Yi could be Lu Li's concubine but not his wife.
"Sis, I used to live here for a while. Do you want to stay here for a few days to relax?"
Lu Li pointed to the palace in the distance. Liu Yi had people guarding the palace and it was cleaned often. Sometimes, she would stay here for a few days herself. It was clean.
"Sure ~"
There were too many people at the Ling Empress City. It was not convenient to walk around. She followed Lu Li back to the castle at the peak of the mountain.
Liu Yi came early to make arrangements. She asked the escorts to leave, leaving only two maids and a cook.
There were some chess pieces in the pavilion outside the castle. Lu Li took a look and realized they were left by him. He smiled to Lu Ling and said, "Sis, let's play a game of chess. I have made some progress. I wonder if I can beat you."
"Ha, ha ~"
For the first time in days, Lu Ling laughed. She shook her head and said, "Let's do it the same way. I will let you have 13 moves."
The two of them walked into the pavilion, and Liu Yi personally served tea to them. Then, she watched the two of them play chess.
The game lasted for an hour. In the end, Lu Li gave up and said, "I don't want to play with you anymore. I am asking for trouble …"
"Pff!"
Liu Yi smiled. She was about to ask if dinner was ready when someone came from the distance.
Lu Li frowned. He looked over and saw it was Ye Cha. He asked, "What happened?
Why did you come here in person? "
Ye Cha stood in front of Lu Li, cupped his fists and said, "A few days ago, a volcano erupted at the southeast of the Deserted World. There were some monsters. God of Meng went to kill them and found a tunnel.
He went in and found a small world inside. It is vast and boundless. We don't know how big it is yet. There are many monsters in there, different from Xuan Beasts … "
"Eh?"
Lu Li and Lu Ling looked at each other and stood up. Lu Li waved to Little White in the distance and said, "Little White, come back. Let's go and have a look!"
