Chapter 60: Meeting an old friend again, unexpected events in the court [You take Yang Su into the Patriarch Hall, where the ancestors of all generations are enshrined, incense is burning, and the atmosphere is solemn and dignified.] 【You haven't stepped out of the Tomb of the Living Dead for many years. 】 [Master Liu Jinchan saw you and showed a warm smile on his face. He stood up and said, "Shenzhou is here."] [There is a hint of intimacy and relief in the voice.] 【Lu Yu also stood up among the disciples and bowed respectfully to you: "Greetings, Senior Brother."】 [Maybe it's because he's getting older, but Lu Yu has become more calm over the years, and you feel relieved.] [The six disciples following Lu Yu also did not dare to neglect. ] 【One by one, they bow to you: “Greetings, Uncle Master.”】 [You returned the greeting with a smile and sat in the second seat, with Liu Jinchan as the leader.]
[Liu Jinchan's gaze lingered on Yang Su's red eyes for a moment, with some doubt.] [Surprised that Yang Su's eyes turned red from crying. ] [Yang Su seemed a little uneasy under the gaze of everyone. He tried to explain but didn't know where to start.] [Lu Yu's eyes were stern. He hated to see a man crying.] [Yang Su was a bit courageous at first, but when he saw Lu Yu's look, he was so scared that he quickly hid behind you.] [Lu Yu has enjoyed great prestige among his disciples over the years, and everyone is afraid of his severity. ] 【“Can’t learn it?”】 [“It’s not that you have a low level of understanding, it’s that you haven’t been beaten enough. Master will fight with you.”] [“You still don’t know how to do it. Come on, let the master teach you a lesson.”] [Of course, Lu Yu was very measured in his attack, so as not to injure any bones, but he still suffered a severe beating.] [Under this heavy pressure, the seven of them made rapid progress and have already made a name for themselves in the martial arts world.] [In the martial arts world, there is a group called "The Seven Sons of Zhongnan". ] [It may be that Lu Yu’s talent for cultivation is too high. He always feels that there is something missing among the seven disciples.] [The eldest of the seven was already at the Grandmaster level, and couldn't withstand a single blow from Lu Yu.] [You are curious about what realm Lu Yu has reached. ] [Now he has returned to his original state, and there is no trace of any supernatural power in his appearance.] [When you fought with Lu Yu, he didn't show his true strength, but just smiled and said, "Brother, your cultivation is improving by leaps and bounds. I can hardly beat you."] 【You are speechless! 】 [Seeing this, you waved your hand. Seeing that you had spoken, Lu Yu did not say anything more.]
[Yang Su breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise today would have been another one-sided crushing match.] 【Liu Jinchan looked at you all gathered together in the field, and his heart was filled with relief.】 [In Daqing's martial arts world, the Three True One Sect has become a righteous martial arts leader. ] [In the sect, there is Lu Yu, the strongest person above the Grandmaster level, and Lu Chen is also at the Grandmaster level. The other disciples all have the potential to become Grandmasters. ] 【It is nothing more than this. 】 【Let’s get back to business.】 [There is an imperial decree from the Daqing court, it concerns the Lu family. 】 [Liu Jinchan seemed to have known the intention from Kyoto, and said to you two brothers, "Shenzhou, Youan, you need to think carefully at this time."] 【“Don’t be anxious yet.”】 [Lu Yu frowned slightly. He had just returned to the mountain.] 【You were slightly thoughtful after hearing this. 】 [In this moment of silence, the door to the back hall of the palace slowly opened, and an old man walked in. ] [Behind the old man, two young eunuchs with respectful expressions followed. ] [It turned out to be an old acquaintance! ] [This person turned out to be the former eunuch Ma Bao. ] [The eunuch who once flew thousands of miles to the north, dancing with a sword in his arms, is now gray-haired and looks like an old man.] [He arrived at Zhongnan Mountain yesterday, carrying the emperor's order, and dared not slack off, and had been waiting for a long time today. ] [Because of special circumstances. ] [Ma Bao knew that this matter was of great importance and could not afford to make any mistakes. He did not wait for the two brothers of the Lu family to come and ask for instructions as he did in the past, but took the initiative to come and convey it.] [When Emperor Huizong passed away, he, a eunuch of the previous dynasty, was able to take charge of the East Factory in the harem amidst the power struggle in the palace.] [It was because his master, the great master of the Daqing martial arts world, who was called the Nine Thousand Year Old in the court and the personal eunuch of the Empress Dowager, had always stood firm.] [No one in the palace dared to touch him.] [Today, Ma Bao once again set foot on the land of Zhongnan Mountain and revisited the old place, with an indescribable feeling in his heart. ] [Back then, Zhong Nanshan was plagued by demons, several masters died, and Emperor Huizong suffered. Those painful memories lingered in his heart like a nightmare, and it took a long time to dissipate. ] [There is bitterness in Ma Bao's mouth. ] [The master is dead, the servant lives on. 】 [He could not find a moment of peace in his heart. Over the years, his cultivation had declined and he was getting older and older.] [Ma Bao's eyes unconsciously turned to Lu Yu who was sitting at the top.] [Back then, the magician was no match for him. What level has he reached now? His eyes revealed deep awe and inquiry.]
[Ma Bao tightened his robe. He came to Mount Zhongnan today for official business.] 【I have to come too! 】 [The eunuchs in the court who were clamoring for the emperor's order did not know how powerful this young commander of the Lu family was. ] [If I really offend him, I'm afraid it will be another disaster. ] [Ma Bao came here on his own initiative, considering that he had met this young guard several times before.] [Ma Bao didn't want to see Daqing fall into real turmoil a few years after his master's death, so he changed his surname.] [He was well aware of the Lu family's status and influence in the Daqing Dynasty, and also understood what this decree meant to the Lu family.] [Those purple-robed officials in the court are meat eaters.] [All we know is that this young guard practiced Taoism in Mount Zhongnan for fourteen years, and most people in the world have forgotten his name.] [I don’t know how many temples in the north hold sacrifices to Shao Bao.] [How many families in the north hang the portrait of Shao Bao. ] [How many generals of the Daqing Zhenbei Army, which is so powerful that it can suppress the northern wind, sincerely followed this young guard. ] [A group of ministers in the court actually wanted to make a fuss about the father of this young guard. ] [Ma Bao, I don’t know why they think this way. ] [When he ascended the throne, the second prince, who was known for his "virtuous character and pioneering spirit", why did he act in this way? 】 [A new emperor chooses his own ministers. Having been a slave for so many years, Ma Bao naturally knows what he can say and what he cannot say.] [Therefore, he must act carefully to ensure that his orders can be accurately conveyed to the Lu family, while also trying to avoid causing unnecessary conflicts.] 【At this moment, the hall was solemn. 】 [You look at Ma Bao in the field with a rare burning gaze.] 【There was silence in the field.】 [You lowered your eyebrows and looked down, and the smile that usually lingered on your lips was now gone. ] [Even Yang Su, who was standing aside, suddenly felt like he was seeing you for the first time. This was the first time he had seen you so seriously today, and he felt an inexplicable pressure.] [No matter when, this uncle always had a smile on his face. ] [The seven Zhongnan disciples standing by suddenly felt inexplicably frightened by their always amiable master.] 【Seeing this, Liu Jinchan sat up straight.】 [Ma Bao had met this young guard several times and he had always been quite friendly, but today he was different.] [I had prepared a speech, but I didn’t know how to start. ] 【It became at the mouth. 】
[“Young Master, it’s been a long time since we last met.”] 【You nodded calmly. 】 (End of this chapter)
