Chapter 121: Afterthought

After bidding farewell to Jiang Shen Gu Zhou, Lu Heng returned to the city with the soul of Old Master Wu.

When Helan Wuzhu said goodbye, he seemed a little absent-minded, but Lu Heng did not say much, but left directly with the soul of Old Master Wu.

Sometimes being too enthusiastic can easily make people suspicious.

Anyway, the seeds have been planted, and what Lu Heng has to wait for is for the seeds to sprout and bear fruit.

In the courtyard behind the Fire God Temple, when Lu Heng returned with the soul of Old Master Wu, Xiao Ai was guarding outside the door of the room where Lu Heng's body was.

Seeing Lu Heng coming back, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief and finally relaxed.

"Lord Wolf God," Xiao Ai called.

Lu Heng nodded, which was considered a greeting.

He gave up the soul of the old man beside him and introduced with a smile, "This is the old man of the Wu family. Xiao Ai, you attended the funeral of Mr. Wu before."

Seeing the soul of the old man, Xiao Ai was a little surprised, but didn't say anything, and bowed to the old man.

Facing the little girl with silver hair and animal ears, Wu Yuan did not dare to be arrogant and quickly returned the greeting.

Lu Heng introduced, "This is Xiao Ai, and that is Huo Feng, a disciple of Yunmen, who is traveling with me now... The little Gu Diao on his shoulder is called Gu Yan."

After introducing the old man one by one, Lu Heng smiled and led the old man to sit down in the courtyard, saying.

"The old man's soul has drifted away, and he should be waiting for reincarnation in the underworld, away from the sun and wind of the human world. But the old man is probably still worried about the affairs of the Wu family in the world... The old man said before that he was poisoned by his rebellious son. I wonder how the old man plans to deal with this matter?"

Lu Heng's question made Wu Yuan silent for a while.

Under the moonlight, the old man sighed and said, "If you want to blame someone, you can only blame the younger generation for having a son in old age and spoiling him too much."

"The eldest son has a soft temperament. He seems gentle, but in fact he is full of small thoughts and too selfish. He only considers himself when encountering things."

"The younger son has a lively personality. He was not restrained when he was young, which made him more and more naughty. In his early years, he was sent to the mountains to practice, hoping that he would concentrate on learning, but he was eventually expelled by his master."

"After coming back, the younger generation had no choice but to let him lead the caravan and let him travel back and forth, so that he would not stay in the city to spend his days in leisure and cause trouble."

The more the old man spoke, the more miserable his face became. "I had hoped that the eldest son would gradually take charge of things. After all, although this child is narrow-minded, he is also capable of doing things. But I didn't expect that this rebellious son would poison me and want to seize power... Alas..."

When the old man said this, his tangled old face made Lu Heng speechless.

This old man was hit hard...

After a while, the old man said bitterly, "It was also the younger generation who chose the wrong person. The future of the Wu family should not have relied on these two stubborn and rebellious sons."

"Now I suddenly realized who I could trust...My second daughter, although a girl, is smart and capable, and has contributed a lot to my Wu family over the years."

"It seems that the future of the Wu family can only be entrusted to her."

The old man sighed and decided, and Lu Heng nodded.

He didn't comment much on the old man's decision. At least the old man in front of him had a thorough understanding of the situation at home.

Before, he was just lucky, so he ended up like this.

Lu Heng said, "Since the old man has made a decision, I will help you to set things right. But before you act, you need to think more."

"This matter involves a lot. If you act on impulse, I am afraid it will cause trouble."

The old man hurriedly agreed to Lu Heng's advice, "What the senior said is very true. I will remember it in my heart."

Lu Heng didn't say much. After letting Xiao Ai take the old man to the empty house to rest, he sat in the courtyard and continued to study the bamboo slips sent by Helan Zhen.

The matter of the Wu family has now become clear.

Helping the old man to set things right is just a small matter for Lu Heng, and he doesn't need to care too much.

So what he is thinking about is whether to ask Helan Zhen for some cultivation secrets to study next.

If he can read more cultivation secrets of other cultivators and broaden his horizons, it will be of great help to him in exploring his own cultivation path.

On the other side, after Helan Zhen said goodbye to Lu Heng, she returned to the Fire God Temple in a daze.

She stepped into her room.

Although she was a witch in the city, Helan Zhen's room was not luxurious, and it was definitely not as good as those of the old clan elders in the city.

With too many worries in her heart, Helan Zhen waved her hand and lit the candle in the room, but suddenly saw a figure sitting in the room.

The other person was sitting in the middle of the room, smiling at Helan Zhen.

With Helan Zhen's cultivation, she didn't even sense the slightest breath?

Helan Zhen was startled at first, then saw the face of the person who came, and hurriedly saluted, "Helan Zhen greets the king."

Helan Zhen has long been accustomed to the king's elusive behavior.

Lian Shanjing looked at her with a smile and said, "No need to be polite, come and sit down."

After inviting Helan Zhen to sit down beside her, Lian Shanjing smiled and said, "I heard that you went to see the world with the Wolf God tonight? How was it? Was it fun?"

Helan Zhen was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, "You were there at the time, Lord? Then why didn't you show up?"

"Uh... cough cough..." Lian Shanjing coughed dryly and almost choked.

She wanted to tease him, but she didn't expect to be counterattacked...

Looking at Helan Zhen in front of her who didn't know what a joke was, Lian Shanjing felt a little tired.

"Hey... nothing, nothing, let's skip this," Lian Shanjing waved her hand and said, "Let's talk about where the Wolf God took you. Why can't I feel any energy after you disappeared? Where did you go?"

When Lian Shanjing mentioned the business, Helan Zhen's expression became serious.

She thought of the strange things in the netherworld, so she immediately grabbed the king's hand and told him everything she saw and heard.

In the candlelight, Lian Shanjing's expression gradually became solemn from the initial smile.

Irresistible magical powers, the dark and gloomy netherworld, the Yellow Spring water that condenses the souls of mortals, and the weak water that is difficult for goose feathers to float, and the so-called reincarnation channel on the weak water...

After listening to Helan Zhen's story, Lian Shanjing, who originally came with a joking mentality, couldn't laugh at all.

Because Helan Zhen's experience and description of the Wolf God's magical powers made her think of something.

——When she followed the Wolf God, she seemed to feel a sense of inexplicable horror on the Pangjiang River.

It seemed that she was being watched by something at that time.

But at that time, she didn't realize the power of the Wolf God's thunder, so she didn't think much about it.

Now thinking about it... Did the Wolf God want to lock her up in that dark and gloomy netherworld? Did she go around the gates of hell? So she suddenly felt terrified?

After realizing this, the expression on Lian Shanjing's face was instantly wonderful...
