Lu Yun knew that he would be in trouble when he defeated Lu Ji. He chooses to stay at home these days. Judging by Lu Yu"s nature, Lu Yun knows that even though he has won, the chance to go to the sect of celestial poles will still be given to Lu Ji.
Although Lu Yun doesn"t feel reconciled, he has to accept the reality.
He is resentful but not discouraged.
He decides to seek help from Chen Dan after Lu Ji leaves for the sect of celestial poles. Hopefully, she can help him to find something to do.
As long as he takes the initiative to leave clan Lu, Lu Yu can do nothing to him.
However, he never thought that the world is so evil that misfortune is coming.
Lu Yun chooses to practice at home, not even to go to the bamboo forest. Lo Bo decides to accompany his son at home too.
As a father, his only hope is that Lu Yun will go to Yidong City to expand his own horizon.
But all of a sudden, noises come into the courtyard of their home.
Out comes Lu Bo and sees an armed group breaks into their home. They are not from clan Lu.
"Who are you?!" Lu Bo asks in astonishment.
"Lu Yun! People from Yidong City reported to our clan that on the day when our young master"s misfortune happened, you were also in Yidong City. My lord is with your patriarch at the Chamber of Deputies of your clan. Please come with us to answer their questions." The people from clan Yi said.
Lu Yun"s heart sinks and he knows that something is wrong.
He never thought that the foxy patriarch has found such a way to frame against him. For a time, it is impossible for him to get away, and if he resisted, he would increase the suspicion over him.
He has to go with the people from clan Yi. His only hope is that if something goes wrong, he won"t get his father involved.
Lu Bo is very worried. He also suspects that it is due to the patriarch.
If so, he will take the blame for his son! As long as Lu Yun is alive, he will die without regrets!
Lu Yun was soon taken to the Chamber of Deputies. All the five eldest are present except the third. It is obvious that Lu Yu doesn"t leave Lu Yun any chance of survival.
Lu Yu sits on one side, pretending to be ignorant of anything.
The patriarch of clan Yi, Yi Tianxing, sits in the princ.i.p.al seat.
Yi Tianxing has not fully recovered from the pain of losing his grandson. When he heard that Lu Yun was very likely the one who killed his grandson, Yi Xiao, and immediately launched an investigation. He was surprised to find that Lu Yun defeated Lu Ji.
Since Lu Yun defeated Lu Ji, if well prepared, it is possible for him to kill Yi Xiao. In addition, Yi Xiao was killed with a saber by someone who has grasped the creative concept.
So Lu Yun becomes more susceptible. Besides, many said that they saw Lu Yun and Yi Xiao at the same time. Yi Tianxing can no longer sit still and come to discuss with Lu Yu, who easily agrees.
Yi Tianxing thought of nothing else but that Lu Yu gets angry at Lu Yun too.
Seeing that Lu Yun is neither humble nor pert, Yi Tianxing"s further a.s.sured that his grandson can only be killed by someone like this with heroic bearings.
Lu De asks sternly, "Lu Yun! Where were you when the misfortune fell on young master Yi Xiao!"
"Yidong City!" Lu Yun replies.
"Don"t tell me you were going to the temple fair!" Lu De says in an uncanny way.
"So was it!" Lu Yun replies
Lu De sneers, "Someone can clearly see that you are behind the young Master Yi Xiao."
Yi Tianxing says at this moment, "I have asked no less than 30 people, and 20 of them have said that they had seen you. Five said that you were behind my grandson. They thought you were my grandson"s entourage! You and my grandson have never been met before, why did you follow him?"
"I didn"t!" Lu Yun"s simple two words count as answers.
Lu De does not entangle on this issue because there are too many things that can make Lu Yun plead guilty.
"That"s OK! Even if you didn"t, you went out that night. You didn"t come back until the next afternoon. The tribe recalled that you were b.l.o.o.d.y and muddy all over. The young Master Yi Xiao died in the mountains. What do you explain?" Lu De asks.
"My father has overworked himself for my sake all these years, leaving himself internal injuries. As a son, I went into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs for him, can"t it be acceptable? It was the Mountain of the Lunar Deities where I went. It was the Frost Herbs that I collected. It was the Blood Wolves that I killed!" Lu Yun says.
Lu De"s eyes brighten and he says, "Who can prove it? The young master of Yi Xiao died in the Mountain of Roaring Wolves, the most numerous are Blood Wolves in the mountains. There are also Frost Herbs on the cliffs of that mountain. Did you go to the Mountain Lunar Deities?"
"Yes!" Lu Yun answers calmly.
Now he only has to calm himself, because there are indications that the patriarch is prepared.
Lu De says, "Well, a few days ago, at Lu Zixuan"s birthday party, you presented her a jade that is rare even in the Treasure of clan Lu. How did you come up with jade as that by your family"s financial situation?"
"It was given by a friend" Lu Yun replies.
"It"s obvious that you killed for robbing the treasure! As we all know, Lu Zixuan is a beauty in the whole Eastern Continent. She didn"t show her dislike to you, which doesn"t mean that she is to marry you. A long time ago you refused to marry the girl from clan Sun and tried to get close to Lu Zixuan by rhetorics. It is clear how crafty you are. When you see a rare jade, by impulse, you killed young master Yi Xiao and robbed the jade."
Lu De says so much in one breath. He takes a breath and continues, "Because you are crafty, you felt it is OK and went out to bury the dead body during the night. But you lied that you went to collect Frost Herbs for your father. "
"You had thought you could cheat the world because no one would have thought that the young Master Yi Xiao was killed by a good-for-nothing. The only thing is that you were too eager to show off in front of Lu Zixuan, which made yourself exposed." Lu Yu sees that the opportunity is mature and says, "Patriarch Yi, I hand over Lu Yun to you. If he is the murderer, he will be at your disposal."
Yi Tianxing looks at Lu Yun coldly. Seeing this young man"s countenance betrays nothing, he asks, "From who did you learn your martial arts?"
"My father!" Lu Yun replies.
"It is funny!" Yi Tianxing"s face becomes gloomy. "Your father is only a ninth-level warrior of the Mystery. He can teach a person like you?! You have taken at least a lot of elixirs, and these are the things that he can"t give you! In the whole Yidong City, no one can do it. There is only one explanation, that is, you have taken away the elixir from others!"
Lu Yun sneers, "Do you have evidence?"
"My grandson Yi Xiao has been selected as a candidate to be one of the disciples of the sect of the celestial poles! I hope he can make something of himself as early as possible. I put a hundred tablets of elixir in his bag! This is at the cost of our clan for one month. But you...but you..."
Lu Yun knows that Yi Tianxing has deemed him as the murderer!
And now, all the evidence shows that he is a murderer, which takes him to the brink of death.
Seeing all these, Lu De immediately says, "Come and give Lu Bo some torture!"
"Let"s see if you can stay calm if we torture your father. If you are indifferent, how could it be that you are so filial as to go to collect medicinal herbs for your father overnight?"
When Lu Bo sees that the clan insists that his son did it. As a father, how can he bear to see his son die? Immediately he himself wants to plead guilty!
"I am to fight against whoever dares to touch my father!" Lu Yun says with indignation.
They can wrong himself, but only his father, no one can touch!
Yi Tianxing flies into a rage, pulls out his saber and says. "The treacherous, pay with your life for my grandson"s life!"
It is impossible for Lu Yun to sit still waiting for death. Even if he is attempting the impossible, he is to fight. He believes the one who waits for death doesn"t deserve his life.
The two sabers roar in the Chamber. Lu Yun tries his best to confront Yi Tianxing!
Suddenly, a figure that is almost invisible to the naked eye slips into the Chamber of Deputies. He stops each saber with only two fingers before they collide.
"Fortunately, I arrive on time! The patriarch of clan Yi, it was not Lu Yun who killed your grandson!" he says clearly.
