Versatile Mage: Forced marriage, I choose Mu Ningxue

Chapter 18: Participate in the battle for resources, childhood sweetheart Nan Jue!
"The reason I came here today is actually because of you." Lu Hai looked at Lu Yuan and explained his purpose.

"I wonder why my uncle wants to see me?"

Lu Hai pointed out: "The Lu family will have a resource competition in half a year, and I would like to invite you to participate on behalf of our lineage."

Lu Yuan knew about this, but at that time he was not qualified to participate in such a competition.

"Will Lu Zhiyong's lineage also participate?" Lu Yuan asked.

Lu Hai nodded, "They want to compete for the position of the head of the family, so they will naturally participate."

Lu Yuan has now withdrawn from Lu Zhiyong's lineage. Even though he has withdrawn, he is still a member of the Lu family after all.

Therefore, Lu Hai wanted Lu Yuan to represent their lineage, because there was no good talent in their lineage.

After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

"Don't worry, we are just inviting you to participate in the competition. We will give you a certain amount of compensation, and you will still be a free person after the competition." Lu Hai said.

"I agree." Although Lu Yuan couldn't bring down Lu Zhiyong, he wanted to at least disgust them.

"That's great." Lu Hai was overjoyed. The descendants of their lineage were too bad, otherwise they wouldn't have come to this point.

In his joy, he took out a magic tool and said, "This is a spiritual-level magic tool. It's half of my payment."

Lu Yuan didn't expect Lu Hai to be so sincere and to give him a magic shoe worth millions.

He took the magic shoe and said, "I accept it. I won't let my uncle down."

"I feel relieved when you say that." Lu Hai smiled and took a sip of tea.

……

After leaving the office, Lu Yuan stayed at Mingzhu Academy for two days and then set off for Dunhuang.

The rewards he received these two days were very ordinary, just materials, and were of no use to him.

Lu Yuan took a flight to Dunhuang and arrived in Dunhuang in the afternoon and came out of the airport.

Just after he came out for a while, the bell in his hand rang.

"I'm on the side of the road, and there's a black SUV." A cool voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Let me take a look." Lu Yuan scanned the vehicles on the roadside and quickly found the black SUV.

He walked over to the SUV and the window on the driver's seat slowly rolled down.

Sitting in the driver's seat was a girl with long middle-parted bangs and bright, sharp eyes.

She put her hand on the car window, turned her head and said, "Lu Yuan, long time no see."

“Nanjue, long time no see.” Lu Yuan replied with a smile.

They had known each other since childhood, because Lu Yuan had been in Dunhuang a long time ago.

Following his parents, Nan Jue was in a similar situation, so the two of them played together.

But after Lu Yuan's parents passed away, they separated and were separated for several years.

“How are you now?” Nanyu asked.

Lu Yuan replied: "Studying at Mingzhu Academy."

“Not bad. Mingzhu Academy is ranked among the top ten in the country. You have a bright future.” Nanjue said with a smile.

"What about you?"

Nanjue replied, “I inherited my family’s legacy and became an outstanding military mage.”

"It's so hot, I'll get in the car first and then talk, otherwise you'll be wet all over." Lu Yuan felt cool when he got in the car.

“What are you doing in Dunhuang?” Nan Jue asked curiously.

Lu Yuan paused, looked out the window and said, "Do something my parents haven't done for a long time."

Nan Jue didn't understand what was going on, so she changed the subject and asked, "Are you going back to the old house now?"

Lu Yuan said: "Take me to a place first."

……

Half an hour later, they arrived at a residential area, which was full of old buildings that looked quite old.

Not long after we walked, we passed a small square and saw many people playing chess there.

Lu Yuan looked at those people with crutches and missing limbs, and felt deeply moved. Nan Jue saw this and understood why Lu Yuan came back here.

When she was little, she admired Lu Juntong very much, and when she grew up, she took him as her role model.

She just felt it was a pity that such a good person died in a demon invasion.

And the people in front of him were the companions who had followed Lu Yuan’s parents through thick and thin.

"Uncle Chen, Uncle Liu..." Lu Yuan shouted to the crowd.

Suddenly, those who were playing chess turned around hastily and their eyes fell on Lu Yuan and Nan Jue.

They paused, and then a man with a cane stood up and asked excitedly, "Are you Yuanzi?"

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, then came to Uncle Chen and said, "It's me."

Uncle Chen patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder and said happily: "You have grown up so much, and you are more handsome than when you were a child."

Others also looked over and smiled from ear to ear.

Uncle Chen looked at Nan Jue and asked, "Is this your girlfriend?"

Hearing this, Nan Jue couldn't help but turn her head away, a blush on her face.

"Uncle Chen, you have seen her. You said before that this little girl is quite fierce." Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Really?" Uncle Chen thought carefully about what happened and soon figured out who it was.

"Are you Nan Yatou?"

Nanjue nodded, but the blush on her face did not fade.

Uncle Chen said with a smile: "You have all grown up. Time flies!"

After they were seriously injured, they withdrew from the battlefield and finally could only spend their old age here.

At that time, Lu Yuan's parents would come to see them from time to time, so Lu Yuan would naturally come along.

But after his parents passed away, Lu Yuan never came again. After all, he had been sent back to the Lu family at that time.

"Why did you come to Dunhuang?" Uncle Chen asked curiously.

"I came to see you." If Lu Yuan wanted to talk about his relatives, apart from Dean Xiao, these people might be the only ones.

"We feel relieved to see that you are living well in the Lu family." Uncle Chen said with a smile.

Lu Yuan said: "I have severed ties with my lineage."

"What?" Uncle Chen and the others looked puzzled.

Afterwards, Lu Yuan told Uncle Chen and others what had happened.

"Lu Zhiyong!!" After Uncle Chen and the others heard this, everyone gritted their teeth.

Lu Yuan's parents were very kind to them and treated them as family.

They would even use their own money as pensions to subsidize their subordinates who had sacrificed their lives.

And these old, weak and sick people were able to overcome the difficulties with the help of Lu Yuan's parents.

Therefore, his parents did not leave much savings for Lu Yuan, otherwise Lu Yuan would not have to live in such a tight financial situation during the years when he left the Lu family.

But Lu Yuan supports his parents' approach. Those people have been with his parents through thick and thin and are as important as his family members.

Lu Yuan said solemnly: "Don't worry, uncles. I will go to the main house in person to retrieve my parents' spirit tablets when the time comes."

Uncle Chen and the others nodded when they saw this. "If you can help us, just let us know."

"Uncles, don't worry, I won't let my parents wait too long." Lu Yuan said firmly.

"Good boy." Uncle Chen hugged Lu Yuan, looking at him with red eyes, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Lu Yuan felt that Uncle Chen seemed to have something to say to him, but he swallowed it back.

Uncle Chen said, "You probably haven't eaten yet, right? I'll cook for you."

"That's great. I haven't eaten Uncle Chen's cooking for a long time." Lu Yuan said with a smile.
