My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 91: He passed on the art of fire manipulation to me?!

After the initial excitement, Gu Xingzhao hugged the remaining explosive cartridges tightly. These things were very powerful, and since he had made them for the Lu family, he would give them to them for self-defense for the time being.

However, if this item falls into the hands of someone with evil intentions and is used to develop it, it could cause great chaos.

Overthrowing the corrupt emperor is one thing, but causing chaos throughout the land is another.

To prevent the items from falling into the hands of anyone other than the Lu family, Gu Xingzhao decided to select someone from the Lu family to specifically safeguard them.

That day, she did nothing else but observe the Lu family. In terms of their closeness, Lu Qing was definitely the most suitable candidate, but the old man was getting on in years and couldn't shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

Naturally, the only candidates to be considered are Lu Qing's sons and grandsons.

She nestled on the sofa, drinking her beverage and stuffing potato chips into her mouth, her gaze fixed on Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou is the eldest son and in good health. Last time when they encountered an ambush, he stood in front and took several knife wounds, almost losing his life. This shows that he is a brave man.
"Brother, I still have some. Let me share some with you, but don't tell Father."

"Second brother, since Father has said so today, how can we, as his children, outwardly comply but inwardly disobey?"

Lu Yang, caught stealing food, secretly stuffed the chocolates and compressed biscuits he had hidden into Lu Zhou's arms, trying to bribe him, "Big brother, it's just some food, you don't have to be so obedient."

If we really listen to the old man and cut our food intake in half, how will we survive?
But Lu Zhou was a straightforward person. "We must listen to our father, Second Brother. This is the duty of a child."

Lu Yang didn't want to argue with his stubborn older brother anymore, so he grabbed his snacks and ran off.

Lu Zhou followed closely behind, trying to persuade his younger brother.

Seeing this, Gu Xingzhao silently crossed the eldest son of the Lu family off his list of considerations. This man was too obedient to Lu Qing, too stubborn, and lacked foresight. If you asked him to carry explosives, he would probably have to ask the old man if he could use them even when the enemy had a knife to his throat. He was really not suitable to take on such a heavy responsibility.

Along with Lu Yang, the second son of the Lu family, was also removed from the list of those being considered.

Needless to say, this person is reckless and muddle-headed. You could tell from what happened in Laiyuan Town. If he got his hands on the explosives, he would probably blow up all the officials and the prisoners who had been mocking him before the enemy even arrived.

Having eliminated two people at once, Gu Xingzhao turned his attention to Lu Xingyao.

Lu Qing's eldest grandson is exceptionally talented and used to be known as the number one young master in the capital, although it's not apparent now.

If we're talking about people she's familiar with, besides Lu Qing, the person she's most familiar with in the Lu family is Lu Xingyao. Lu Qing entrusts this grandson with all matters, big and small, which shows that he's someone she can trust.

He had a different opinion on the kerosene issue earlier, which shows that he has his own ideas.

Gu Xingzhao was almost ready to finalize his choice: to have Lu Xingyao keep the explosive charge.
A voice came from afar: "Young master, it's a deal. If you run into the ancestor during the next night's watch, you can't keep it all to yourself!"

The clansman reluctantly handed Lu Xingyao a box of self-heating hot pot that he had been hiding, hoping to please him and gain some of the blessings of their ancestors.

Lu Xingyao accepted the gifts without hesitation, patting his chest. "Don't worry, I always keep my word!"

Turning around, he collected many more items from other clansmen, making the same guarantees as before. In this way, he had guaranteed the belongings of most of the Lu family members. With his haul overflowing, Lu Xingyao swaggered through the streets with his purchases, attracting his younger siblings to follow him. However, despite their wide, watery eyes, he remained as stingy as a miser, not giving them a single penny.

"Grandfather said that everyone should halve their food intake from now on."

Lu Youtang puffed up her cheeks in anger.

Holding his chicken feather as a weapon, Lu Xingyao walked with even more arrogance: "Hey, I'm not giving you any to eat, hey~"
Gu Xingzhao silently crossed Changsun Lu Xingyao off his list of considerations. He was not steady enough and too conspicuous. At least he didn't see the elegance of the number one young master in the capital.

She lay on the sofa and sighed, "Sigh, why isn't there someone who is mature, steady, opinionated, and not irritable or ruthless?"

Lu Xingyao, carrying his full bamboo basket, strolled around in front of his second and third uncles again.

Lu Yang's eyes widened. Good lad, he's been hiding a lot!
Lu Xingyan, however, remained unmoved, as steady as a mountain, quietly watching his elder brother chase after his nephew begging for food.

Lu Yang, panting, said, "Don't think I don't know. Last time, you were the one who stole two bowls of my noodles while I was looking at You Tang!"

Since the old man said everyone should reduce their food intake, the ancestors will definitely not send as much food as before. I'll have to get some back from my nephew!
Lu Xingyao refused to give it to his second uncle. Seeing that his second uncle was about to snatch it, he decisively hid behind his third uncle, leaving his second uncle alone and not daring to bump into his third uncle.

Lu Xingyan was already used to it, and sat quietly to the side, closing his eyes to rest.

Gu Xingzhao's eyes lit up. In terms of maturity and composure, although Lu Xingyan was only a few years older than Lu Xingyao, he had never quarreled with the younger generation.

In terms of having his own opinions, he was naturally much more opinionated than his older brother Lu Zhou, as could be seen from their time in Laiyuan Town.

As for being irritable and vicious, that's even more impossible. Look at how calm he is when he's sitting there. He hasn't even gotten angry when he's having an attack. That shows how gentle he is. He's not the kind of person who would shout for violence to solve problems at the drop of a hat.

Moreover, due to his poor health, Lu Xingyan was practically invisible to anyone outside the Lu family.

By all accounts, he was the most suitable person to carry the explosive charge.

Thinking of this, Gu Xingzhao looked at Lu Xingyan and became more and more satisfied: You're the one!
She immediately got up and went back to her bedroom. Since this matter couldn't be handled through Lu Qing, she had to make a detailed illustrated guide to the explosive device and hand it over to Lu Xingyan along with the explosive device.

At this moment, Lu Xingyan was unaware that he was about to be entrusted with an important task. Sitting there, he felt a chill run down his spine for no reason, as if he were being watched.

That night, under the cover of darkness, Gu Xingzhao secretly transferred the item to Lu Xingyan's arms. Her instruction manual was very detailed, with both pictures and text, and she believed that with Lu Xingyan's intelligence, there shouldn't be any problems.

Gu Xingzhao didn't dare get close to Lu Xingyan, fearing that he might have another accident like before, in which case his 188,000 Marrow Cleansing Pills would be wasted.

He didn't feel the suffocating sensation, but found that there were many bamboo tubes in his arms. Lu Xingyan's eyes were blank as he opened the paper in his hand to look at it.

Upon opening it, he froze on the spot, his thoughts racing. Looking at the explosion scene that Gu Xingzhao had casually printed out on the paper, he was deeply shocked. This was...
"!!!"

Did our ancestor pass on the art of fire control to me?!
Gu Xingzhao almost burst out laughing. Fire control technique?

I'm feeling unwell because of my period today, so I'm posting the first update now. I'll post the second update an hour later. Go to sleep, everyone, you can read it again tomorrow when you wake up~
