"Grandfather, what are you looking at? Just who does Big Brother Lu look like? " Murong Xin"er asked curiously.The old man who was called grandfather by Murong Xin"er did not answer her question. He cupped his hands towards Lu Chen and said apologetically:
"Mr Lu, right? This old man, Gu Tianming, looks like an old friend from your appearance.
Old friends...
So it was like that!Although he had already noticed some clues, Lu Chen still felt a trace of pride in his heart.
It seemed that his old man whom he had never met was not simple!
Even Old Man Gu had such an att.i.tude.Could it be that she had been saved by him before?
Right now, Lu Chen was certain that if his father was indeed Lu Qingtian, he would have received benefits from the Eye of Merit as well. Furthermore, he knew how to use it, which was what had become a legend.
However, due to careful consideration, Lu Chen remained calm on the surface, showing no signs of anything amiss.
He had already made up his mind that he would not reveal his ident.i.ty before figuring out whether this Old Man Gu was a friend or foe.
Even if Gu Tianming was a friend and not an enemy, Lu Chen would still be extremely careful in this matter.
"The old man couldn"t be talking about Lu Qingtian, right?" Lu Chen asked with a smile.
Gu Tianming frowned and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that this old one was mistaken?" Mister Lu has nothing to do with my Lu nephew? "
Lu Chen shook his head with a bitter smile, and said with a half-truth: "I won"t hide it from Senior Gu. Actually, because of my appearance, this junior has been considered to be related to Senior Lu Qingtian more than once."
"But every time you ask about this Senior Lu, it seems like we have some sort of tacit understanding and are unwilling to discuss it deeply."
"Junior is curious, who exactly is this Old Senior Lu Qingtian? Could it be that it really has something to do with this junior! "
Gu Tianming stared at Lu Chen for a long time before finally saying, "Mister Lu really doesn"t know who Lu Qingtian is?"Lu Chen lightly shook his head, a bitter expression on his face.
"This junior hasn"t seen his parents since the beginning of my life, and was raised by my master.""I learned a bit of the Celestial Sect of Wonders from him, and then went to the army. To tell you the truth, I am also ignorant and ill-informed about the matters within the Celestial Sect of Wonders. "
"If it"s possible, I hope that the honored tutor will give me some pointers and help me clear up the doubts in my heart."
"If junior truly has some relationship with this Senior Lu, I naturally have to ask him a few things." Perhaps I can find out about my own background. "
Gu Tianming once again stared at Lu Chen for a while, before finally letting out a soft sigh:
"My granddaughter has always had her eyes set on the top, yet she actually called me over because of you. It seems that she truly values you."
"Therefore, if Mister Lu doesn"t mind this old man"s nagging, then I"ll tell you about my nephew"s past."As Gu Tianming spoke, he looked at Murong Xin"er with a doting expression.
When Murong Xin"er heard her grandfather"s words, her face turned slightly red and she subconsciously lowered her head.
Although Murong Xin`er didn"t say what she thought of Lu Chen, someone as experienced and intelligent as Gu Tianming was naturally able to see through his precious granddaughter with a single glance.
However, to be honest, if Murong Xin"er"s wish was truly granted, what he wished for was too great.Gu Tianming was also fiercely shocked the moment he saw Lu Chen.
Although Murong Xin`er had praised Lu Chen on the phone, Gu Tianming did not fully believe her.
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that Lu Chen would possess such terrifying strength at such a young age.
According to Gu Tianming"s estimate, Lu Chen should have already stepped into high-grade yellow-rank.
One had to know that when Gu Tianming was young, he also boasted that he was a person with exceptional talent. He was one of the best prodigies of his generation.
But at Lu Chen"s age, he had only just touched the edge of middle Huang grade, and his cultivation was not stable yet.Gu Tianming thought back to how he had only managed to enter the upper Huang cla.s.s at thirty-five years of age. He could only inwardly sigh at the fact that the future was truly different from the past. He couldn"t accept the fact that he was old.
"I am all ears!"Lu Chen cupped his fists towards Gu Tianming with a smile, everything seemed so natural.
Even the little fox was praising Lu Chen"s amazing acting.
Actually, throughout this entire process, the little fox had been secretly observing Gu Tianming"s emotional changes.
It was obvious that Lu Chen"s earlier explanation had dispelled the doubt in Gu Tianming"s heart.
Gu Tianming stroked his beard and smiled as he recounted, "Speaking of this Lu Qingtian, he can be said to be one of the top prodigies of his generation!"
"Even those who are his age and have eyes above their heads are convinced of him. It wouldn"t be too much to say that he is a proud son of heaven of his generation. ""People like us who have lived for so long would still be able to rely on their seniority in front of others. However, when they meet him, not many would dare to take him on. It"s because you slapped your face so hard! "
"For five consecutive sessions of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, the champion of the tournament has never been left out. In fact, no one would be willing to fight him, because even if the ancestors of the various clans were to jump out, they would not have the confidence to defeat him. "
"For a compet.i.tion such as refining, charms, arrays, medical techniques, or the like, any contestant that the Old Lu Family lacks will be sent up like a fire brigade leader.""We can always get a good ranking, and occasionally, we can even get first."
"The scariest thing is that everyone can feel that, other than competing in martial arts, he is completely reliant on his mood and may not be able to use his full strength."
"In other words, this is a situation where he is giving face to others." This is because there is no second place, so I must win in order to not go easy. "
Lu Chen seemed to be deep in thought as he said, "No wonder everyone clearly have a deep impression of him, but none of them are willing to talk about him …"
Gu Tianming shook his head lightly, "It"s true that I have a deep impression of them, but the reason why I"m not willing to bring it up is because of something else!"
Lu Chen did not say anything, but looked at Gu Tianming in confusion.
Gu Tianming revealed a helpless smile before continuing, "The Lu family is one of the nine great families of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. They created many experts with their profound alchemy skills. Adding on to their own resources, they would even be able to rank in the top three. ""But fifty years ago, when I fought with the Snow Lotus Palace in the Western Regions, my vitality was greatly damaged. I didn"t leave a single one of the older generation experts behind."
"The Lu family"s strength has plummeted and their actions are extremely low-key. Even the Profound Gate Large Compet.i.tion that happens once every three years has been missed and they have been squeezed out of the nine great families."
"Only when Lu Qingtian appeared did the status of the Lu family slowly change. Under his lead, the Lu Family"s young experts appeared one after another, faintly overshadowing the other families. ""If the tree is in the forest, the wind shall destroy it! Furthermore, everyone quickly discovered that the Lu family had grasped some kind of special method that could speed up their cultivation. "
