304 Bloodline 3 (1/2)

Lu Sheng walked through the gate and into Mountain Edge City.

Although he hadn't been back for a long time, not much had changed in the city apart from a few stores changing their signs. Everything else was exactly the same.

Lu Sheng didn't notify the Crimson Whale Sect, but headed directly towards the auras.

Using the Clear Void Earth Stomp Technique, he seemed to be walking slowly, yet each step was over a hundred meters in length. Ordinary people couldn't even see him with his speed. All they would feel was a slight breeze, a blur, and the person would be long gone.

After about thirty breaths, Lu Sheng was standing in front of the Lu Manor.

The guards in front of the Lu Manor were pale in fright, and there were still leftover bloodstains in front of the doors. A number of elegant, expensive black carriages was parked outside, being watched over by a few strong, young men. They stared at the Lu Manor guards threateningly.

Lu Sheng smiled. He could sense the few auras coming from these carriages. He walked into the Lu Manor.

Yuanguang Shening followed her elder sister to this tiny city to look for their bloodline disciples only because she was bored. All she wanted was to relax for a little bit.

In such a faraway place, even if this city was slightly bigger than the rest, and even if the child had awakened his bloodline, it would only be an ignorant Burning Son. What was the point of bringing him back?

So, she only came here due to formalities. Honestly, she was already impatient with the Lu Family for making them wait so long.

If not for her deep trust and relationship with her elder sister, she wouldn't even want to talk to these people. They were just useless humans that she could kill with a slap of her palm. As for her sister's child, all they needed to do was knock him out and take him away—nothing else.

Yuanguang Chexing sat on the seat silently, a little nervous and resigned, and with her brows knitted as she watched the head of the Lu Family, Lu Quanan.

”Is there really no other way? Through normal means, it would take at least half a month for a message to get from here to the Central Plains.” Yuanguang Chexing sighed.

Lu Quanan was also worried. These people had come up to their door for no reason, and forcefully claimed to be Lu Sheng's birth mother. Thinking to Sun Yan's original status as an orphan, he could sort of believe them.

But Lu Sheng's mother must have been Sun Yan. Aside from just Grandma Wen, there were multiple other female witnesses in the family to prove this point.

So he was completely sure of Lu Sheng's identity. But the other person also seemed to be very sure.

”It's hard, Miss Chexing. We already did our best to send the letter as fast as we could. We even asked for help from a few spies working for large forces here… Please calm down.” Lu Quanan didn't know the background of these people, but had a good idea of their strength from previous encounters. It was not something the Lu Manor could handle.

”Also, Little Sheng is my son. You said you were willing to prove his identity with the mixing of blood, but from what I know, since birth, my son, Little Sheng, has not had an extra birth mother. His only mother died a long time ago,” Lu Quanan said solemnly.

”No… you…” Yuanguang Chexing couldn't get the words out of her mouth. The reason why Lu Sheng's mother, Sun Yan, had passed away so quickly was because her body was damaged by carrying her blood. ”You don't understand…”

Chexing glanced towards her sister. Yuanguang Shenning was obviously very impatient already. ”To be honest, I just want to meet Lu Sheng… and ask him some questions in person.”

”I already explained, I really can't do anything else. My eldest son is in the Central Plains, a long distance away from here. Even if I send a message through a messenger bird, it'll still take at least a few days for him to get here, especially since I don't have good training and breeding methods here.” Lu Quanan looked at the guards around him—the few people in the Lu Family who were at Intent Proficiency. However, he couldn't tell how much use they would be in a fight against these people.

The current Crimson Whale Sect had a decent amount of strong people, so these Intent Proficiency experts hurried here the moment they got notice.

They even fought the other people outside the door, but one of them got his shoulder shattered almost immediately, showing the frightening strength of the newcomers...

”Mother, if there's no other way, we can come visit another time. Let's go back first. Grandmother's going to worry as she waits for us.”

Alongside Yuanguang Chexing were three other people, two young men and a girl, all of them around their twenties.

But they all had a striking similarity—and that was that they all resembled Yuanguang Chexing in some way. The one who spoke was a handsome young man.

”There's no hurry…” Chexing shook her head, rejecting her son's idea.

Honestly, this was also the main reason Lu Quanan couldn't be sure and sent a letter to Lu Sheng—Yuanguang Chexing and Lu Sheng also looked alike.

Just as everyone was getting impatient, cheers sounded outside the door.

”The young master is here!”

”Young master! It's young master!!”

All the servants and maids were shouting. The one who held an important position in the Central Plains, the pillar of the family, young master Lu Sheng, suddenly arrived home.

Lu Quanan stood up abruptly in the hall, almost dropping the teacup beside him.

”Didn't we just send out the letter? How could he be so fast?” He stared towards the outside incredulously.

But someone was even more excited than him. Yuanguang Chexing also stood up quickly, breathing heavily and with regret and apology in her eyes as she looked towards the door.
