Red Leaf City was located at the northwest border of Tianxiang Kingdom and was under the jurisdiction of the West County State.
Red Leaf City was very small, with a population of no more than three hundred thousand. However, he was very famous! It was surrounded by mountains. In late autumn, the maple leaves on the mountains were like fire and blood, as if they wanted to dye the city in the same color. This was how Red Leaf City got its name. More importantly, its geographical location was the closest town to the "Black Abyss" demon beast mountain range. It was less than a hundred miles away. Most warriors, mercenaries, and adventurers who were heading to the Black Abyss Demonic Beast Mountain Range would stop at Red Leaf City to purchase sufficient supplies and make their final preparations before entering the mountain. Those who returned from the mountains would also stay behind to rest for a few days, recuperating and recovering their vitality.
With the flow of people and the gathering of merchants, Red Leaf City became increasingly prosperous. There were restaurants, inns, and shops on the ninth street and eighteenth alley.
One city and two prefectures were the core lifeblood of the entire city. The First Mansion was the City Lord Mansion located in the center of the city. It was the official office of the West County State. The position of the City Lord was inherited by his father for several generations. After many years of hard work, its foundation was so deep that no one could shake it. The other mansion was the Lu Mansion located in the east of the city. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers and occupied an extremely large area. The clan had over 10,000 disciples, and its foundation was enough to stand on equal footing with the City Lord's Estate. Fortunately, these two houses had a deep relationship, and they had a deep friendship that had been passed down for generations. They supported each other, allowing the two Manors to become the overlords of Red Leaf City, causing the various factions in the city to bow down to them.
At dusk, a dusty carriage slowly drove toward the Lu Residence's entrance and went straight into the open door as if no one was there. The guards on duty on both sides were about to shout out to stop him, but when their eyes met, they immediately retracted their feet and stood straight, allowing the caravan to pass through the door.
The setting sun hung in the west, and the smoke curled up. The huge Lu Mansion seemed rather quiet. The caravan drove on the road paved with green rocks for an hour, turning left and right. Along the way, they only met a few clansmen who were walking in a hurry. On the way back, Uncle Hai asked the four guards to go back first to report to their families that they were safe.
Just as the carriage stopped in front of an extraordinary mansion, a red figure suddenly appeared inside the door. A petite girl dressed in red stood in front of the carriage and tiptoed to look around the carriage. Her small eyes darted around.
"Uncle Wolf! Where is my second brother? "The little girl asked anxiously with a red face.
Uncle Wolf jumped down from the shaft of the carriage, brushed the dust off his body, and winked at the little girl." Second Young Master, we're home." The curtain of the carriage opened with the sound, and a young man in green stepped out of the carriage door slowly and looked around.
The little girl bypassed Uncle Hai and jumped in front of the boy. She grabbed the boy's hands and excitedly shouted,"You're Second Brother?"……You are my second brother? "Second brother? Lu Suifeng was stunned. Since when was there a third sister? She was quite obedient and cute, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. It was a long-lost feeling of kinship.
"You are Third Sister? Lu Suifeng gently stroked the little girl's head with deep affection.
" My second brother is back…My second brother is back…" The little girl jumped and shouted excitedly as she ran into the mansion.
A gratified smile appeared on his face as he watched the little girl leave happily. Uncle Wolf smiled knowingly. The power of kinship was indeed great. They had never met, so there was no need to say much, but their hearts were very close.
" My second brother is back…" The little girl's tender voice echoed in the air above the mansion.
The quiet mansion suddenly became noisy with the little girl's voice. The faces of all kinds of people popped out from every corner. Men and women, old and young, all had different expressions. They were curious, shocked, puzzled, and disdainful.
"This trash is still alive? "" Why did you come back? How embarrassing! "Endure it! At most, he would only live for a year. "I heard that this kind of terminal illness can't live past the age of thirteen. Brother Suifeng won't die! "What do children know? Don't talk nonsense! "Alas! This child was really too unfortunate! "………
In the Lu Residence, this Second Young Master was regarded as a legendary figure, and also a disgrace to the entire family. He was also the target of ridicule and ridicule by the clansmen.
"Dear Wind!" " In the inner hall, the head of the family, Lu Wanxiong, hugged Lu Suifeng tightly and looked at him carefully. He looked a little thin and weak, but he looked refreshed. He didn't look like he was dying. The old man's tears rolled down his face with a hint of relief. Actually, Master Lu wasn't as old as he looked. He looked like a tiger and was only in his forties. However, there were a few deep wrinkles on his forehead, which did not match his age.
Lu Suifeng was not used to having so many relatives around him. He looked at the people around him with a blank expression and smiled foolishly.
"Hurry up and call me father! "A youth beside the Lu family's head urged in a deep voice. His appearance was similar to Lu Suifeng, but his lips were a little thin, making him look a little frivolous.
"Oh! This is your big brother, Lu Changfeng! "Master Lu rubbed his tears that were about to roll out and pulled his eldest brother, Lu Changfeng, to the front. He smiled comfortably and said," When you left, you were only three years old. You don't have much impression of your eldest brother. In the future, you two brothers should get closer!" Lu Suifeng forced a smile as he looked at his brother's gloomy face.
" It's been a long journey. It's time to wash away the dust and rest..." Lu Changfeng reminded.
"Not bad! I was so happy that I forgot about it. Master Lu patted his forehead and ordered,"Take your second brother to wash up first." Lu Lang! Later, you will bring Second Young Master to the back mountain courtyard. The environment there is very quiet and it is a good place to calm down and recuperate. The two brothers left the inner hall and walked along the corridor. Seeing that there was no one around, the eldest brother, Lu Changfeng, leaned over to Lu Suifeng and said coldly,"You really shouldn't have come back!" " Upon hearing this, he stopped and looked at the big brother he had just recognized with a puzzled expression. Although they weren't from the same mother, they had the same blood flowing through their veins. How could he say such cold words?
"Don't look at me with such innocent eyes! Not only are you a natural good-for-nothing who brought shame to the family, but you are also a downright jinx. Not only did you kill your own mother, but you also killed two elite guards of the clan the moment you returned. "I asked Uncle Wolf about what happened on the road. Uncle Wolf almost lost his life this time." He really did not know what kind of disaster it would bring in the future. " From never being able to solve his confusion to being cold, Lu Suifeng gained a deeper understanding of this world. If his blood kin was so cold and heartless, the outside world must be even colder and colder.
"Big brother! Although Lu Suifeng was deeply disappointed in this big brother, he didn't want to ruin their relationship the moment they met.
"Don't! I'm not your big brother. I'm the young clan leader of the clan. There's a hierarchy. Don't try to get close to me in the future. Otherwise, don't blame me for not recognizing you! " Lu Changfeng said fiercely. He stretched out his hand and placed it on Lu Suifeng's shoulder, using his strength to pinch it.
" Ah…" Lu Suifeng cried out in pain.
"What's wrong? "The Inner Hall's Master Lu asked when he heard the voice.
"It's nothing. Second Brother accidentally fell! Lu Changfeng let go of his hand and turned his head to reply. Then, she leaned forward and almost touched Lu Suifeng's face. The back mountain is your territory. Don't come out and run around. If I bump into you, you won't be so lucky next time. "Ever since Uncle Wolf swallowed Second Young Master's pill, he seemed to have been reborn. The qi in his entire body was vigorous and flowing endlessly. He didn't feel tired at all after the long journey. At this moment, he was leisurely sitting on the carriage shaft outside the mansion, waiting for the second young master with his imagination running wild.
"What happened to the Second Young Master during the ten years he was in the Medicine Valley? He could casually take out a priceless third-grade medicinal pill. In the entire Red Leaf City, there probably wouldn't even be a single tier two pill. " And…" He thought of that terrifying black-clothed man again, and of that soul-chasing sword that took his life. He couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and the lingering fear still lingered. Saying that the people from the Medicine Valley were secretly escorting them was just a cover-up. It could be concluded that there was only the Second Young Master in the carriage at that time. Under what circumstances did he make the black-clothed man break his sword and escape in a breath? He couldn't even take a single blow from the black man and was already heavily injured. The difference between them was like the difference between clouds and mud. However, no matter how one looked at it, the Second Young Master was only a thirteen-year-old youth. It was difficult to associate his delicate body with a hidden expert. He had to test it out if he had the chance…
"Uncle Wolf! " Lu Suifeng walked out of the gate of the mansion.
"Hehe! Second Young Master, get in the car! I'll send you to the back mountain. Uncle Wolf chuckled.
"You still want to take a ride? Was the back mountain courtyard very far? Lu Suifeng sat beside Uncle Hai and asked.
"The Lu Mansion occupies an area of ten thousand mu. It will take at least six to eight hours to reach the back mountain courtyard. Uncle Wolf explained as he drove the carriage. "Although that place is a little remote, it is quite suitable for Second Young Master to live in, so as to avoid being looked down upon by others. I, Lu Lang, am a man of discerning eyes. Your Second Young Master is not a fish in a pond. Sooner or later, he will transform into a dragon and soar into the sky. Don't forget to remind your Uncle Wolf when the time comes. Haha! Uncle Wolf had been very protective of Suifeng since he was young, and Suifeng had never forgotten him. Come up the mountain in a few days and I'll give you a surprise. " Lu Suifeng has a heartfelt feeling for the memories of his childhood and the time spent together. If there's a chance, he'll definitely return the favor.
"Good! Deal! Uncle Wolf replied happily. "Yo! "The carriage stopped at a stone step.
In front of him was a mountain forest that was a thousand meters tall. It stood proudly in the vast Lu Manor like a lonely peak, with a majestic aura. Although it was already early winter, the trees were still green and lush! A flight of stone steps led to the top.
The two of them picked up the steps and walked a hundred paces. The mountain gradually became steep. Uncle Wolf's pace was constantly accelerating. From time to time, he would glance at the Second Young Master beside him, but he still followed him at a steady pace. His breath was even, and his shoes were light and steady. Uncle Wolf suddenly increased his speed, but the other party seemed to have not noticed it. His feet were like flowing water as he walked side by side with Uncle Wolf. He looked calm and relaxed.
Faster…faster…Wind appeared under Uncle Wolf's feet, and he took several steps with each step. He rushed to the peak like lightning, leaving the scenery on both sides behind him…
