Lu Pheasant kept in mind what Lu Chunqiu had told him before he died, and instead of being disgusted with moving into the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, he was extremely happy.
After working for a long time, Lu Fei packed up the exclusive small courtyard provided to her by the housekeeper of the Imperial Prefecture, and moved in with her sister Lu Su. But what made her feel a little uncomfortable was that Lin Ze didn't show up from the beginning to the end.
Take a look.
In the evening, Lu Zhi couldn't help it anymore and ran to the small courtyard where Lin Ze was, pushing open the door and entering. Only to see him sitting cross-legged on the ground, stuffing the food in front of him into his mouth from time to time.
Lu Pheasant said with a slightly teasing smile: "Master Lin's way of eating is really unique."
Lin Ze rolled his eyes at her and said, "I am practicing martial arts. I wonder what Miss Lu wants from me?"
Lu Fei was silent for a while and said seriously: "I am very confused now. My great-grandfather said that Master Lin is a genius and can help me revitalize the Lu family, so I would like to ask for your advice."
Lin Ze thought to himself: It's easy. You find a man named Liu Ji and be his wife. After a few years, the Lu family may take off. But in the end, the Lu family was exterminated. Well, it's not feasible.
No, what are you thinking about? This is not history.
So Lin Ze said calmly: "This matter cannot be rushed. Miss Lu just needs to wait patiently. There will definitely be an opportunity in the future."
Lu Zhi was speechless and knew how to prevaricate me. Alas, what should I do? He slowly fell into deep thought.
After a while, Lin Ze saw that Lu Zhi remained silent and couldn't help but said: "Miss Lu, why don't you go and rest first, so that I can practice martial arts with peace of mind."
Lu Pheasant woke up from his deep thoughts, and immediately became a little embarrassed and glared at Lin Ze: He only knows how to practice martial arts, huh, we'll see.
Then he turned around and left without even saying goodbye.
The next day, Lu Pheasant's next actions made Lin Ze feel "miserable".
In the morning, Lin Ze got up to do morning classes and practice martial arts.
Lu Pheasant appeared out of nowhere and appeared in Linze's courtyard. He moved a chair and sat aside, pretending to admire him: "Wow, Mr. Lin, you are so diligent. You got up so early to practice martial arts."
"Master Lin, your sword skills are so sharp, the power must be extraordinary."
"Master Lin, your footwork is so elegant."
Lin Ze stared at her fiercely, while Lu Zhi looked at Lin Ze pitifully and said, "My great-grandfather told me to follow Mr. Lin well."
Lin Ze was defeated. Who could let him worry about other people's cultivation resources? He is soft-spoken and short-handed. It doesn't matter either way, so forget it.
It wasn't until Lin Ze finished practicing that Lu Pheasant stood up and left proudly.
…
During lunch, Lu Pheasant brought several servants from the Lu family and delivered boxes of prepared delicacies to Lin Ze.
Lin Ze opened it and couldn't help but marvel at the Lu family's financial resources.
These foods are obviously ingredients taken from three different mid-level monsters, and they are the parts that are rich in the most powerful energy of heaven and earth.
What made Lin Ze even more amazed was that there was also a small bowl of rice. The strong aroma was clearly cooked from the tribute rice that Lin Ze had eaten before.
Of course, Lin Ze was not polite. He ate it cleanly with three strokes, five divided by two, and then stepped up his efforts to refine and practice martial arts, while Lu Pheasant watched him quietly from the side.
My great-grandfather once said: Treat people with your heart, and you will surely gain something. If a person is really the kind of person who knows how to repay kindness, he will definitely be moved. I, Lu Pheasant, still don’t believe it, and I can’t move you anymore.
As expected, Lin Ze asked after finishing his practice: "Thank you, Miss Lu, for providing me with the training resources. I am deeply grateful."
Lu Pheasant shook his head and said, "I don't need your gratitude. As long as you become successful, you can help me revitalize the Lu family."
Lin Ze shook his head. Lu Pheasant had gone through changes in his family and was thinking about revitalizing the Lu family every day. He was already a bit obsessed. He said to Lu Pheasant, "Miss Lu, please come with me."
Lv Zhi didn't know why, so he followed Lin Ze to a corner of the garden. Lin Ze pointed to a seedling and said, "This fruit tree will definitely bear big and delicious fruits."
Lu Pheasant looked at the small tree that was overgrown with weeds and was even a little droopy. He couldn't help but said doubtfully: "Master Lin, are you joking? This tree is obviously not growing well. Whether it can survive is a question. How can it still bear more fruit?"
Big, delicious fruit?”
Lin Ze said unequivocally: "It must be possible. This tree was given to me by my teacher. The teacher is a powerful master. He said that this tree can bear big and delicious fruits, so it must be possible."
Lu Zhi couldn't help but Lin Ze looked stupid: "Master Lin, please recognize the reality. If you don't take good care of this tree, it will die. How can it bear fruit?"
Lin Ze retorted: "How could it be possible? This tree was given to me by the teacher. It must be extraordinary."
Lu Pheasant looked at Lin Ze with disappointment. The person entrusted by his great-grandfather was actually a fool?
Lin Ze couldn't help but smile when he saw her expression: "How about it, do you understand?"
Lu Pheasant looked confused, what do I understand?
Lin Ze explained at the side: "Miss Lu already understands, no matter who said it, how authoritative he said it, we have to look at the facts."
"Although the Prime Minister told you that I can help the Lu family revitalize their family business, in my opinion, I just gave you a fruit tree."
"Of course, you can wait for the fruit trees to grow well on their own and eventually bear fruit, but this will inevitably entail huge risks."
"The current situation is that I am currently weak and my subordinates are not strong. Just like this fruit tree, whether it can survive is still a question. It will be useless for you to urge me now."
"So why don't Ms. Lu wait a little longer for the future?"
Lin Ze felt that his metaphor was perfect.
However, Lu Pheasant thought for a moment and said, "Master Lin wants to take advantage of the Lu family, but also doesn't want to help the Lu family revitalize?"
Lin Ze...
The atmosphere in the scene was very awkward for a time, but it was Lu Pheasant who took the lead to break the silence and said: "As for me, I have followed my great-grandfather's instructions and brought over everything that I promised to Mr. Lin. As for Mr. Lin's final choice, it all depends on your will."
Lin Ze was speechless. He said this as if he wanted to renege on the debt, but the way he acted seemed a bit scumbag, a bit like accepting a betrothal gift from others in his previous life, but telling them to talk later.
This embarrassing atmosphere did not last long, and suddenly someone reported that the Great Qin Master Hu Hai came to visit Lin Ze.
Yes, Hu Hai was finally released from house arrest. The day after Lu Chunqiu committed suicide and there was no chaos in the world, Emperor Qin felt that Fusu and Hu Hai were safe, so he had them get out.
Hu Hai didn't even return to Ganquan Palace, but ran out to look for Lin Ze. When he couldn't find Lin Ze, Hu Hai guessed that Lin Ze had come to the Imperial Master's Mansion, so he came straight there with the palace guards.
The first thing Hu Hai said when he saw Lin Ze was: "A group of black-clad guards came from nowhere and put me under house arrest. They almost suffocated me to death in the palace."
Lin Ze just smiled and said nothing. Needless to say, Emperor Qin must have done it.
When Lu Zhi saw Hu Hai calling himself Young Master Hu Hai, but he didn't know who he was, he immediately saluted Yingying and said, "My little girl, Lu Pheasant, has met Young Master Hu Hai."
If he could get rid of the coldness in his eyes, Lin Ze would really want to praise her and show his sincerity.
Hu Hai turned his head to Lin Ze and asked doubtfully: "Lin Ze, who is she?"
Lin Ze replied sternly: "She is your new disciple, and she will make an indelible contribution to your great cause."
