"Master!"

Lu Gong ran to Lu Ciqiang with a look of panic on his face, "Lü Liang, Lu Liang is gone!!!"

There were three parts of panic, three parts of confusion, three parts of hatred and a hint of fear in his voice.

Nearly a month has passed since Lu Liang was imprisoned. During this month, everyone in the Lu family was very unhappy because of Lu Huan's death.

Because Lu Ci valued his own bloodline very much, he did not agree to impose such irreparable punishment on Lu Liang until he found concrete evidence that Lu Liang had done it. But just torture and reading memories could not really do anything to Lu Liang.

Liang, so after a period of time, most people no longer care so much about Lu Liang's affairs.

Only Lu Gong still communicated with Lu Liang when he went to deliver food to him every day.

Of course, he was not trying to avenge Lu Liang, but was constantly torturing Lu Liang and persuading him to plead guilty. Because of Lu Liang's incident, he could not even hold his head high in the village now.

Just today, when he walked into the cell where Lu Liang was imprisoned as usual, he was shocked to find that Lu Liang was missing!

This surprise is no small matter, Lu Liang is a repeat offender of the Lu family!

So he immediately ran over and over to report Lu Ci.

"Oh? Gone?"

Lu Ci's tone did not fluctuate at all, as if he was just saying that the weather is good today.

"Master, Lu Liang killed Xiao Huan, and now he is still absconding in fear of crime. We must catch him back as soon as possible!"

Lu Gong suggested eagerly from the side, as if he was afraid that if he reacted slowly, he would be regarded as an accomplice who let Lu Liang go.

"Fearing crime and absconding..."

Lu Ci was noncommittal about the word, "Of course we have to arrest you. But as the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public. You can just do this in secret, and you must not make a big deal about it."

"Yes, I understand!"

After Lu Gong took the order and left, another figure walked out of the room.

"Did father let Lu Liang go on purpose?"

Lu Zhong asked tentatively.

"Hmph, since you can't find out about this matter, and he keeps complaining, I might as well give him a chance to investigate on his own. The blood of the Lu family cannot be lost in an unknown way."

Lu Ci narrowed his one eye into a slit, covering up the cold light flickering in it.

"If he can prove his innocence, that would be the best, and we would have a target for revenge. If not, the next time he is captured, he will be dealt with directly according to the clan rules! You go and make arrangements, don't let anyone in the clan

There are too many good players."

"Yes, father."

……

……

Lu Ci's idea of ​​not exposing the family scandal to others is indeed a good idea, but it's a pity that there is no airtight wall in the world.

Not long after, an unexpected person came to his door.

"What are you here for?"

Lu Ci frowned when she looked at Wang Ai, who seemed to be thinner than before, and her breath became more sinister.

"Hey, Brother Lu, don't make such an expression."

Wang Ai didn't notice anything and sat down on the Eight Immortals chair opposite Lu Ci, "Our two families are like grasshoppers on the same rope now!"

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Brother Lu, you are also a smart person, and we don't talk secretly."

Wang Ai chuckled twice, "You and I have known each other since we were children, and have been friends for nearly a hundred years. Although you used to have a somewhat impulsive personality and ruthless methods, you are not crazy. When did you become a

'Mad dog'?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Ci's half-closed eyes suddenly opened a crack, and the light in them almost burst out, which was extremely fascinating.

"You came here today to tell me these old things?"

He reached out and picked up the tea cup on the table, making a gesture of wanting to drink.

"Don't worry, don't worry, Brother Lu,"

Wang Ai quickly spoke up to stop Lu Ci's actions, "You said it was an old thing, and I agree with that, but some people don't think so. Haven't the recent incidents in your family made you wary?" <

/p>

"Do you know who did this?!"

A fierce murderous aura suddenly erupted from Lu Ci's body.

"Be calm and don't be impatient,"

Wang Ai was unaware of Lu Ci's aura. Although his strength might not be as good as Lu Ci's, he was still at the same level after all, and such a little aura could not scare him.

He said unhurriedly: "Although I don't know who did it specifically, there is no doubt that the man behind the scenes should be the same person who attacked my Wang family before."

"How to say?"

Lu Ci is not that easy to fool, and it is impossible for him to admit it based on just a guess.

"There's one thing you may not know."

Wang Ai's face showed a look of memories, "The earliest attack our Wang family encountered was not on Tu Junfang, but before that, when the Southwest Branch of the Tianxiahui was first established. I sent a pretty good guy

The juniors went to cause them some trouble, but they disappeared inexplicably on the way. This should be the reason why their subsequent raid on us went so smoothly. Brother Lu, do you feel that this matter is inexplicably familiar?"

Can you not be familiar with it?

What happened to Lu Huan just happened.

"You mean, they did what happened to Xiao Huan? Why did they attack my Lu family?"

Lu Ci's face showed a look of thinking.

"I suspect that the other party is a descendant of those people back then."

Wang Ai came closer and whispered.

The people he was talking about were naturally the Thirty-Six Thieves. When he heard this, Lu Ci's face couldn't help but become solemn.

"What evidence do you have?"

"Otherwise, with the opponent's ability, if it's just for the Eight Magic Skills, there's no reason not to target the Feng family and come to deal with us."

"Hmph, you have acted domineeringly over the years, and you still have few enemies?"

Lu Ci sneered at Wang Ai's remarks.

"What you said is wrong,"

Wang Ai explained, "I admit that the Wang family has acted in a high-profile manner in recent years and has offended some people. But who among those people is qualified to be our enemy? None! Only the unpredictable successors of the Eight Wonders.

, you have this ability!"

Although this statement sounds arrogant, if you analyze it carefully, it seems that it is not completely unreasonable.

Seeing that Lu Ci's expression was a little shaken, Wang Ai continued to fight: "Brother Lu, although you and I don't know what the other magical skills are, we should at least have no doubts about their power, right? There is such a secret

I keep staring at you, can you feel at ease?"

After a long silence, Lu Ci asked: "Then what do you want to do?"

"Find out the person behind the scenes!"

Wang Ai replied without thinking, obviously having made up her mind a long time ago.

"How to find it? I remember that even if the company intervened, we still haven't been able to find Tu Junfang."

"The company has its own rules. There are many things they want to do, but they can't do. But what they can't do, we can!"

Wang Ai's eyes showed a cunning light, "The simplest way to find someone is nothing more than divination. Brother Lu, would you like to go to Wuhou Village with me?"

"Wuhou Qimen..."

Lu Ci thought for a moment and chose to agree to Wang Ai's proposal for the sake of the safety of the family.

……

……

Jiande, Wuhou Village.

The heads of the Lu and Wang families, two of the four major families, came to visit together, so naturally they were given a grand reception by the Zhuge family.

It even alerted the old patriarch Zhuge Liuyun to come forward in person.

"Brother Lu and Brother Wang, we haven't seen each other for many years, but you two are as charming as ever!"

Zhuge Liuyun is a thin old man with white hair and white beard, a fairy-like spirit, and a pair of natural squinting eyes that makes him very kind-hearted.

"Alas, Brother Zhuge is so complimentary!"

Wang Ai said, "Where we are, you can't compare to your meditation and cultivation. You don't have to worry about anything and have such leisure. I've been worried to death lately!"
