Chapter 340 – Chop Off Claw And Pull Out Tooth! (1/2)

Chapter 340: Chop off claw and pull out tooth!

In the study, wearing a dark robe, faced covered with dirt, Lu Qingming was kneeling on the ground, bowing his head low to the ground to his father.

“Father, I am back.” Lu Qingming bent down and touched his head to the ground as he said in the most sincere voice.

“Get up. There is no need to care about such formalities between Father and son.” Lu Xingkong set down the scroll that he was reading and said with a smiling expression. “

Lu Qingming looked up at the warm expression o his father's face and said in a low voice, “Father——”

Thinking of the ambush along the way and that he almost died and that he almost could not fulfil his duty as a son, his voice sounded tearful, “Father, are you well?”

“I'm fine.”

Lu Xingkong understood his son's mind, got up and headed over to the tea room, and personally poured a cup of fragrant tea for him. “The journey must be exhausting, have a cup of hot tea.”

Lu Qingming received the cup of fragrant tea with both hands, drinking it all in one mouthful. “Father's temaking skill has improved.”

“It's just for families to drink, there is no temaking skill involved. But I know what happened on your way back.” There were lightning flas.h.i.+ng in Lu Xingkong's eyes. “There aren't many families in West Wind that could hire Unpredictable immortal and Strange Taoist?”

“Yes.” Lu Qingming knew his father was going to get down to business, put down the teacup and said, “On my way back, I have been guessing who did it. The Lu family is in a sensitive situation now, there are a few suspects, but there is no way to be certain. It would have been good to get some information from Strange Taoist if he hadn't die.”

“A fox cannot hides its tail, nor can a wolf hides its fangs. If your bite missed the first time, you'll be tempted to bite the second and the third time.” Lu Xingkong said, an icy chill in his voice. “Our Lu family is a military family, we attack and defend. Whether it is defending the country's territory, or protecting our home, our Lu family had never avoided confronting the problem. Now that they have actively attacked we have no need to be polite to them. If they dare stretch their claws, we shall chop off their claws. If they dare bare their teeth, we shall pull them out.”

“But, the Royal family——” Lu Qingming sounded concern. “If they do not support us, what are our chances?”

“Chances?” Lu Xingkong gazed out the window, looking at the cold moon. “What is the meaning of chances? There are only two outcomes of any action. Success or failure.”

“Yes, father.” As soon as Lu Qingming saw his father's expression he knew that he had made some sort of decision in his mind.

“I heard you were rescued by a little friend?” Lu Xingkong asked with concern, looking at Lu Qingming.

Lu Qingming was a little hesitant, then he suddenly said in a solemn tone, “Father, there is something that I need to explain to you——”

The clothes were luxurious and soft.

The most important thing was that the st.i.tching was detailed and it was clear that the person who made these clothes had put in a lot of effort and time.

Li Muyang was just about to put on the light blue long robe when the room door was pushed open from the outside.

Li Muyang draped the robe over his body at once and angrily said, “Why did you come in? You——should knock before coming in, right?”

Jing'er giggled loudly, “Young master, we are your people, we will serve you for a lifetime, so you should not see us as outsiders——”

It meant that since they will be your people after all, you should accept them.

“What do you mean you are my people? What do you mean you will serve me for a lifetime?” Li Muyang was utterly confused. “What are you talking about? Why do I not understand at all?”

“Lady has given all of us to Young master. Therefore, we will attentively take care of Young master from now on. Young master is the center of our lives. We would do whatever Young master wants us to do.” Jing'er explained with a smile.

It was a lucky thing for them to be able to serve this Young master Muyang. However, he was not the young master of the Lu household. To them Lu Tianyu was the real young master of the Lu household. They were unsure how their fate would be in the future.

“Isn't this ridiculous?” Li Muyang said irritably. “I just came back to see my family, and would soon go back to Starry Sky Academy to cultivate, why would I need so many servants?”

After a pause, Li Muyang suddenly thought of an idea. “Why don't you serve my mother instead? She should need someone to take care of her more than me.”

The female servants looked at each other in dismay, this young master had just came and is leaving so soon already? Who are they going to depend on? Servants without masters, how good would their living conditions be?

But Jing'er did not panic, smiled and said: “We are Young master's people, we will do what Young master wants us to do. When Young Master is here, we would naturally take care of Young master. When Young Master is not here, we will follow your request to take care of your mother——This is our duty.”

“In that case ——— I'll accept this great gift.” Li Muyang gently chuckled. He came here in a hurry and did not have the chance to prepare any gifts for his parents. Now the Lu family had gifted him some servants, he could present other people's gift and give them to his mother, let them take care of his mother's food and clothing and everyday life.

“Young Master we will change your clothes.” As she was speaking she set down the tray in her hands and swept her eyes over the light blue long robe that Li Muyang was wearing. “Young Master is so handsome, everything looks good on you. However, the sky is gloomy today, the blue that Young master is wearing does not bring out the best in your complexion and temperament.”
