Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years.

Chapter 214 A difficult choice! Lu Xuan makes a decision for his father!

Qingyun County seat!
Qingyun County had suffered a catastrophic and bizarre disaster a month ago.

Until now, the county town has not yet returned to its former prosperity and bustle.

However, the Lu family pharmacy in the county town has been providing free medical treatment to the residents in the city since last month, without charging a penny.

Of course, these huge expenses are not borne by the Lu family alone.

The county government and most of the wealthy merchants in the county were also quietly providing a large amount of resources to the Lu family.

Under Lu Xuan's special arrangement, the Baidao Prefecture government office has been continuously transporting various necessary food resources to Qingyun County.

It was through this practice that the reputation of Lu Jiahe, the old man of the Lu family, spread more and more widely.

All the titles such as saving lives with medicine, benevolent doctor, and highly respected were attributed to Lu Jiahe.

Finally, some people even wanted to spontaneously build a temple for Lujiahe and make a golden statue to show the immeasurable merits of Lujiahe's deeds.

Of course, Lu Jiahe didn't even think twice about this horrifying act. He immediately stepped forward in person to stop this exaggerated move.

How could a doctor like him afford the money to build a temple and make a golden statue?

Even so, it did not affect the growth of the Lu family's reputation at all.

The Lu family's fame is no longer limited to Qingyun County. Even in the neighboring Dengfeng County, most people know about the Lu family's deeds.

This also led to the fact that most wealthy businessmen and officials from all over the country wanted to marry their daughters to the Lu family in an attempt to establish a relationship with the Lu family.

A lot of people gathered in the lobby of the Lu family mansion, all of whom were direct descendants of the Lu family.

Lu Jiahe sat in the main seat with his eyes closed, not saying a word, but from the furrowed brow on his forehead, it was clear that he was struggling with something at the moment.

The people sitting on the chairs on both sides in front of Lu Jiahe included his second brother Lu Jiaqing and his cousin's entire family.

To be precise, it was my eldest cousin Lu Jiayong who had already separated from the family.

The reason why this big family came to him was naturally because they had something important to ask of Lu Jiahe.

"Jiahe, with your current reputation and status in Qingyun County, as long as you speak up, my unfilial son can escape this death."

"He's still young and doesn't understand things. He's our only son. You don't want me, your cousin, to end up alone, do you?"

After Lu Jiayong finished speaking, he glanced at his wife and daughter behind him.

The next moment, Lu Jiayong's entire family knelt down at the same time and kowtowed deeply to Lu Jiahe.

The sounds of them kowtowed and knelt echoed in the hall.

Every sound of kneeling and kowtowing reached Lu Jiahe's ears.

These sounds made Lu Jiahe's heart begin to ache, as if a big hand was constantly squeezing his heart.

However, even so, Lu Jiahe remained unmoved, his closed eyes constantly shaking under his eyelids.

After a while, tears flowed from the corners of Lu Jiahe's eyes.

"Cousin, please go back."

"I'm sorry, I'm powerless on this matter."

"I would rather die than help Yun Fei escape punishment."

Lu Jiahe spoke word by word, as if he was using great strength.

As the son of his cousin, Lu Yunfei has been spoiled since childhood. He is allowed to do whatever he wants and all his needs are met.

This also led to Lu Yunfei's bad character, causing trouble and acting recklessly.

However, if these are within a certain control range, then no major disaster will occur.

However, what no one expected was that since the Lu family's reputation and status in Qingyun County had risen rapidly.

Even some of Lujiahe's cousins who had separated from the family received this favor.

Therefore, at this time, the beast Lu Yunfei became even more aggressive and finally caused an unforgivable disaster.

Lu Yunfei, this beast, actually, together with two scions of big families in the county, harmed two daughters of a small wealthy merchant family five days ago.

When the two rich sisters resisted, they were accidentally killed by Lu Yunfei and two others.

After learning about this, Ye Qingshan became furious and immediately arrested Lu Yunfei and the other two.

Except for Lu Yunfei, the other two were sentenced to beheading by the furious Ye Qingshan in accordance with the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty.

As for why Lu Yunfei's verdict was not delayed, it was because his surname was Lu, and it was the Lu character in the Lu family pharmacy.

Therefore, Ye Qingshan was also caught in a difficult situation of making a decision, and could only wait and see what choice the old man of the Lu family, Lu Jiahe, would make.

Ye Qingshan wanted to get rid of Lu Yunfei, a beast who took human life lightly!
If Lu Jiahe wanted to save Lu Yunfei, Ye Qingshan would have to go against his conscience and not sentence Lu Yunfei to beheading.

"Cousin, Yun Fei has been spoiled by you guys."

"I mentioned this to you a few years ago, but you never took it seriously."

"Killing someone means paying with your life, and debts must be repaid. These are just principles. Don't you understand them?"

"Besides, I'm just a commoner. In the entire Qingyun County, only the County Magistrate has the authority to judge Lu Yunfei."

"So, cousin, please go back. I, your cousin, can't do anything about this!"

After saying the last sentence, Lu Jiahe stood up and opened his eyes, his pupils filled with bloodshot.

If it was any other small matter, Lu Jiahe would definitely help his cousin even if he had to sacrifice his reputation.

However, when it comes to such beastly things, Lu Jiahe still has his conscience and will definitely not do anything to shield the murderer.

"Jiahe, our whole family is kneeling down to beg you!"

Seeing that Lu Jiahe had cruelly rejected him, Lu Jiayong quickly stood up with a panicked look on his face. He couldn't believe that Lu Jiahe would reject his request.

"Jiahe, you have such a cruel heart. Yunfei used to call you uncle when he was little, and you actually want to see Yunfei sentenced to death with your own eyes."

"Once Yun Fei dies, my family line will be extinct."

"Jiahe, you know, I lost my ability to have children a few years ago, and Yunfei is my only son."

"How can I face my dead father? Even if I die, I will not be able to close my eyes!"

Facing Lu Jiayong's accusations, Lu Jiahe's face suddenly turned pale, and an invisible hot current flowed backwards in Lu Jiahe's body.

The next moment, the corners of Lu Jiahe's mouth were slowly dyed red by brightly colored blood, and then slowly flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

Lu Jiahe was so angry that some of the blood rushed back up and he blurted out.

"father!"

"Are you okay? Sit down."

Seeing this, Lu Yun'an, who had been silent on the side, became panic-stricken in an instant.

Like a frightened bird, he stood up and wanted to go forward to support Lu Jiahe.

At this critical moment, the abnormality in Lu Jiahe's body inadvertently triggered the Gangyuan power left in Lu Jiahe's body by Lu Xuan.

A purple light flashed in Lu Jiahe's eyes, and his whole body was suddenly emitting a dazzling glow.

A purple shield emitting a terrifying aura enveloped Lu Jiahe's body. The shield instantly isolated Lu Jiahe from the surrounding space, preventing even Lu Yun'an from getting close enough to touch it.

Lu Jiayong and his family were so frightened by this strange situation that they even forgot what they wanted to say next.

Especially Lu Jiayong, he is also a warrior who has practiced martial arts.

Although he was only a warrior at the Flesh Refining Realm, Lu Jiayong could still feel the horror of the purple Gangyuan shield.

However, this scene only lasted for a few breaths, and the purple shield gradually retracted into Lu Jiahe's body.

Under the nourishment of the purple Gangyuan protective shield, Lu Jiahe's physical discomfort suddenly disappeared, and he felt inexplicably refreshed.

Is this the power left by Xuan'er?
After Lu Jiahe felt the mysterious warm current in his body, he finally felt a little comforted.

On the other side of Lu Jiahe, Lu Jiayong looked at Lu Jiahe with eyes full of envy and jealousy.

Others may not know, but Lu Jiayong knows it very well.

The real strength of the Lu family lies in Lu Jiahe's most outstanding and amazing eldest son, Lu Xuan!

Thinking about how terrible his own son looked, while his cousin's sons were all better than the other.

The gap between people is like the difference between heaven and earth.

"Alas, cousin, by now you understand my determination."

"Don't mention this matter again!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiayong felt disheartened and his face turned pale, without even a trace of blood.

He knew that in the county, Lu Jiahe was his son's only savior.

If Lu Jiahe was unwilling to plead for mercy, his son would be sentenced to beheading like those two men!
Do not!
I can't become the sinner of the Lu family.

Otherwise, even if I die, I will not die willingly!
Thinking of this, Lu Jiayong seemed to have thought of another way to remedy the situation, and a hint of hope appeared on his face again.

"Jiahe, if that's the case, I won't force you anymore."

"Can you give Yunfei a month? I want him to stay here!"

While Lu Jiayong was speaking, he directly fell at Lu Jiahe's feet and grabbed Lu Jiahe's thighs hard, without any regard for his dignity as a man.

Seeing his cousin in such a miserable state, Lu Jiahe was unable to make a decision for a moment.

Lu Yunfei is now imprisoned in the county jail. No one can see Lu Yunfei unless the county magistrate Ye Qingshan allows him to.

However, in Lu Jiahe's eyes, Lu Jiayong's request was also difficult to decide.

At this time, the lobby became extremely quiet. Only Lu Yunfei's biological mother was kneeling there and crying quietly.

Lu Jiahe stood there in deep thought, pressing his right hand hard on the table next to him, as if trying to support his body.

At this moment, outside the lobby door, the space inexplicably twisted and deformed.

Accompanied by a flash of dazzling purple light, a figure suddenly appeared outside the door, as if walking out from an unknown time and space.

The first person to notice the sudden appearance outside the door was Lu Yun'an, who was standing there at a loss.

When Lu Yun'an saw the person outside the door, his eyes widened.

The whole person seemed to be under a spell, standing there unable to move.

"Big...big...brother?" Lu Yun'an's voice trembled a little, and he looked at the man outside the door in disbelief.

Yes, the person who appeared outside the door was Lu Yunan’s elder brother, the young master of Lu’s pharmacy, Lu Xuan!
Lu Yun'an didn't have time to be shocked. His body shook and he ran out the door.

At this time, Lu Jiahe, who had not made a decision yet, suddenly noticed Lu Yun'an's abnormality, and then looked in the direction Lu Yun'an was running.

This sight made Lu Jiahe feel like he was struck by lightning. He froze in place, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Xuan'er!"

Lu Jiahe uttered these two words almost tremblingly, with an indescribable surprise in his voice.

Lu Xuan casually looked around, and when he saw several people kneeling, his eyebrows raised slightly.

However, Lu Xuan did not think about it carefully, but spoke to Lu Jiahe first.

"Father!"

"it's me!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

After seeing Lu Xuan, Lu Jiahe said several good words in succession, showing the joy that came from the heart.

At this time, Lu Jiayong, who was holding Lu Jiahe's thighs with both hands, saw that it was Lu Xuan who came back.

The expression on his face suddenly became nervous and uneasy. He quickly loosened his hands, stood up again, and didn't dare to speak again.

"Big brother!"

Lu Yun'an finally came to Lu Xuan and shouted excitedly.

"Yeah!" Lu Xuan nodded slightly in response, and then without any pause, he changed the subject.

"what happened?"

Lu Xuan was very familiar with these people kneeling on the ground.

Although Lu Xuan has been hiding in the Lu family and practicing martial arts diligently over the years, he still has the opportunity to meet these people.

When Lu Xuan met Lu Jiayong, he had to respectfully call him uncle!
But now, all the family members of Uncle Lu Xuan were kneeling on the ground.

Lu Xuan knew without thinking that something big must have happened.

After hearing Lu Xuan's question, Lu Yun'an told everything without any hesitation at an extremely fast speed.

However, after Lu Yun'an finished speaking, the smile on Lu Xuan's face gradually froze, and his expression became more and more calm.

This bastard Lu Yunfei has really caused a big trouble. He actually did something so outrageous that both humans and gods are heinous.

Five or six years ago, because of Lu Yunfei's personality, Lu Jiayong wanted to hand him over to Lu Xuan for teaching.

As a result, Lu Xuan would not show mercy. If Lu Yunfei dared to do anything excessive, Lu Xuan would choose to act ruthlessly.

There is no point in talking too much, broken bones are the best way to teach!

However, Lu Xuan's teaching method really scared Lu Jiayong and his wife, so they took Lu Yunfei back overnight.

What a pity! If Lu Jiayong and his wife hadn't felt sorry for Lu Yunfei, Lu Xuan would have corrected his bad character.

Lu Xuan looked at Lu Jiayong indifferently and spoke expressionlessly.

"Okay, I'll give you a month. After this is over, you're not allowed to set foot here again!"

His father would definitely not do something that goes against his conscience, but Lu Xuan didn't mind.

Lu Xuan never explains his actions to anyone.

Moreover, after Lu Xuan helped them, their family relationship ended there, and their family could no longer seek help from Lu Jiahe.
