Chapter 362: Bromance
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Lu Li and Lu Feixue moved soon after. Patriarch Eight wouldn’t make things difficult for Lu Li like this. The escorts were afraid of Lu Li creating another huge scene and so was Patriarch Eight. Lu Li only wanted a house. Even if he wanted several houses, Patriarch Eight would still try to get them for him.
The new house was at the north of the Mystic Armor Mountain. It was where disciples of the immediate Lu Family lived. Lu Li’s house was not far away from Patriarch Eight’s mansion.
Lu Li’s new residence was called the Rising Dragon Pavilion, where Lu Renhuang used to live in. The yard was big and majestic. Lu Renhuang had run away from home but his title of future Family Patriarch was reserved. Therefore, his residence had been unoccupied.
Patriarch Eight sent them four maids, four cooks and two servants. He gave them top level daily necessities. Lu Family was so wealthy that those were nothing to them.
Lu Li finally settled down. He didn’t want to make trouble again. He was not fond of it. He didn’t go visit any superiors, and he just stayed in his yard and cultivated day in and day out.
The wound in his soul was not fully recovered yet. The blood essence in his body could only be consumed after a long time. Also, Lu Li needed to wait for Lu Zhengyang and for the return of Lu Ling.
Lu Feixue lived here as well. Getting divorced was not a good reputation for a young lady but she didn’t care.
She could only care less about her own reputation. She was not slutty, but for the outside world, she still didn’t act like a lady. So, she wouldn’t mind the reputation now.
She seemed like a dead person walking. She had grown dead to all feelings. She would stay in the yard, reading, staring blankly into the distance or chatting with Lu Li. Only when she saw Lu Li would she smile…
Lu Li noticed it. He felt he knew her better after hearing her stories. She was a girl that went through a rebellious stage without the care and education from her parents. She endured the running away of her big brother. Naturally, she would become more revolting and act more like a child.
Finally, she met someone she loved, but that man was forced away by her own family and she was forced to marry a man she didn’t love. She was tortured and bullied, but nobody actually listened to her when she came back to her family. She was angry and consumed by hatred, but she eventually became dead inside and submissive. She was not the Lu Feixue she used to be…
Lu Li cared for his aunt. Like Jiang Qiling, Lu Feixue was also forced to the current situation by persecution. They were poor ladies. Lu Feixue ending up like this was closely related to her brother and her parents.
Therefore, Lu Li had been cultivating during night. In the daytime, he would chat with Lu Feixue and play the game of go with her. He wanted to help her walk out from the shadows of the past.
It was the fifth day since he moved into the Rising Dragon Pavilion!
Lu Li had already made it to the middle stage of the Soul Pond Realm. The blood essence was really helpful in the cultivation of Soul Pond and Xuan Energy.
Lu Feixue appeared to find spiritual sustenance in Lu Li’s company. She was treating him like a son. She had been impregnated over the years but… she had a miscarriage because Qiu Wenze beat her often. Seeing Lu Li had triggered the maternal instinct in her, and she looked better these days.
On the sixth day, Lu Li had just finished talking to Lu Feixue about some fun facts about the Northern Desert when Yu Huashen came over and reported, “Young Master, there is a young lady and a master here. That young man says he is Lu Lin.”
“Lu Lin?”
Lu Li remembered that young master with dignified bearing. He threw Lu Feixue a questioning glance. She explained, “Lu Lin is the son of your Fourth Uncle Lu Dixian. He is one of the best among the young disciples. He is only 19 but he has reached the peak of the Eternal Realm.”
“That is impressive!”
Lu Li nodded. That day, the young master begged for mercy for him and he was bold enough to talk back at Lu Fenghuo in public. Lu Li was impressed by him.
Lu Li waved his hand and said, “Yu Huashen, show them to the side hall and I be will there in a minute.”
Yu Huashen left. Lu Li said to Lu Feixue with a smile, “Aunt, you take some rest. I will go and meet them.”
“Okay, there are some good kids in the family.” Lu Feixue nodded and walked back to her room with a maid.
The Rising Dragon Pavilion was huge. There was a main hall, three side halls, and more than a dozen rooms. It could be comparable to an imperial palace.
Lu Li walked into a side hall. Lu Lin was standing in the middle of the side hall with a pretty and sexy lady in red dress beside him. As soon as Lu Li came in, that pretty lady glanced over with such ardent passion and some enchantment in her eyes…
Lu Lin wore a white robe today. He was big, tall, and handsome. Contrary to Qiu Wenze who was a bit feminine, Lu Lin was masculine. Lu Lin cupped his fists and said with a smile, “I am Lu Lin and I am the son of Lu Dixian. Lu Li, we are cousins.”
Lu Lin’s smile was kind and warm. He had an impressive bearing that could make people trust him out of instinct. Lu Li bowed and said, “Nice to meet you, cousin.”
“Save it…”
Lu Lin rolled his eyes and said, “Lu Li, I think you are a real man. Why are you doing this? Just be casual. We are cousins.”
Lu Li straightened his back and turned to the lady in red. Lu Lin introduced her, “This is Lu Hongyu. She is the youngest granddaughter of Patriarch Eight. We all call her Sister Hongyu.”
“Hee, hee~”
The lady in red walked over like a piece of red cloud floating over. She went around Lu Li and said, “Young Cousin Lu Li, you are so very famous now. I was in closed-door cultivation, but I was alarmed by you. You really are the son of future Family Patriarch. You have turned our family upside down as soon as you came back. You are as bold as future Family Patriarch.”
The peak of Eternal Realm!
Lu Hongyu should be about the same age with Lu Lin. The two must be the best among the young generation of the Lu Family.
Lu Hongyu was still sizing Lu Li up like a curious kid. Lu Li touched his nose, nodded and said, “Nice to meet you, cousin Hongyu.”
“Ha, ha~”
Lu Hongyu stuck her tongue out and smiled enticingly. She patted Lu Li’s shoulder and said, “Good boy, I will take you out and find you something nice to eat…”
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Seeing how embarrassed Lu Li was, Lu Lin laughed and said, “Lu Li, watch out for our cousin Hongyu. The skill she cultivates is the Enchantress Skill. Many disciples of other families in the city went head over heels for her. Don’t you fall for her, too.”
Lu Hongyu nodded, opened her pretty eyes wide and added, “That is right. Cousin Lu Li, don’t fall for me or you will feel heartbreak for your entire life.”
Lu Li grinned. He did not find it weird for Lu Hongyu to flirt with him. They were both surnamed Lu but they were not close relatives. In many big families, people that were not close blood relatives could marry each other. Close relatives had similar bloodlines so marriages between them would result in a great deal of problems. But Patriarch Eight was already not close.
Lu Li had seen a great deal of a variety of situations.
Lu Li grinned cunningly, looked directly at Lu Hongyu, and replied in a similar manner to her, “Cousin Hongyu, thank you for reminding me. I will stay away from you as well to spare you of a broken heart.”
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Lu Lin was amused by Lu Li and Lu Hongyu. Lu Hongyu smiled a sweet smile as well. Lu Lin nodded and said, “Nice one. Lu Li, you are a funny guy. I admire you for this.”
“Sorry!”
Lu Li waved his hand and said, “Cousin, I like girls. I don’t have a thing for bromance. Please find somebody else…”
Lu Lin’s smile froze but Lu Hongyu laughed in an exaggerated way. Her breasts moved up and down along with her laugher.
