The Mysterious Immortal Clan: Rising from the moment I died!
Chapter 92 Entrusting the Orphan
"Lord City Lu!"
Ni Kun called out softly, abruptly pulling Lord Lu's thoughts back to reality.
"Ahem!"
He cleared his throat and lowered his voice: "Patriarch Ni Yongxiao asked me to pass on a message to you!"
Upon hearing this,
Lord Lu's body trembled slightly, and his previously relaxed posture instantly straightened up, his face full of anticipation for the topic Ni Kun was about to bring up.
Ni Kun smiled slightly, slowly raised the teacup in his hand, gently swirled it, and watched the tea in the cup ripple.
Each ripple on the water seemed to hint at some impending change in the political situation.
A moment later.
"Lord City Lu!"
Ni Kun finally broke the silence, his tone low and firm: "The world will soon be in chaos... Hong Kong will find it difficult to remain unscathed!"
Before he could finish speaking...
The atmosphere in the entire courtyard suddenly became tense, as if even the air had frozen.
"Um!"
Lord Lu's heart tightened, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Yes, he didn't show much surprise, only muttering to himself, "Yes, everyone knows in their hearts... this world is terminally ill, and a major upheaval is inevitable sooner or later!"
That brings us to this point.
Lord Lu shook his head, then let out a long sigh: "But everyone still clings to a sliver of unrealistic hope, hoping to escape this calamity..."
His bloodshot eyes revealed deep weariness and helplessness, and he couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.
Ni Kun silently looked at the weathered old man before him, and a complex emotion welled up in his heart.
He understood Lord Lu's predicament—in this chaotic world, ordinary people were like candles flickering in the wind, always at risk of being swallowed up by a cruel fate.
No matter how hard these mortals struggle, they cannot change their insignificant and fragile situation.
"What can I do?"
Lord Lu shook his head, repeatedly expressing his helplessness: "What can I do?"
"Don't panic!"
Ni Kun nodded slightly. He did not answer Lord Lu's question directly, but instead extended an index finger and lightly dipped it in some tea.
On the tabletop, a large, round circle was slowly drawn, with one corner sticking out abruptly, like two horns.
"This is?"
Lord Lu stared at the pattern before him, a strange sense of familiarity welling up inside him, but he couldn't quite place it.
Just as he was deep in thought.
"Lord City Lu!"
Ni Kun pointed to the angular gap in the wall and said meaningfully, "This is the city wall that extends deep into the Boundary Sea!"
Yes, the port city is shaped like a full moon, with its two protruding corners forming two towering city walls that extend straight out of the port city and into the vast sea.
The original intention behind this unique design is obvious—in the face of extreme crisis, ordinary people in the city can obtain a glimmer of hope through this passage.
"oh!"
Lord Lu suddenly realized that the Ni family hoped he could lead the people directly to the Boundary Sea when things were at their most dangerous, thus minimizing the impact of the war.
This moment.
He understood that chaos was imminent and that the Ni family was about to leave Hong Kong.
As for why, he couldn't understand why the Ni family would abandon Hong Kong without firing a single shot.
Seeing the expression on Lord Lu's face.
Ni Kun simply smiled and did not offer any further explanation.
Yes, having studied history extensively, he was constantly thinking about how to secure a chance for survival for the Ni family and Hong Kong City during this chaotic era.
"Remember this!"
Ni Kun emphasized his words and gave a special instruction.
"At that time, the port city will surely face many powerful enemies, and there will likely be quite a few ordinary people flocking to the border sea for refuge!"
"Therefore, Lord Lu would be best off planning ahead... especially in establishing a force to maintain order at sea!"
Upon hearing these words...
"Um!"
Lord Lu nodded repeatedly with a solemn expression, quickly considering what measures to take next.
At this moment.
Although Lord Lu, who had experienced countless trials and tribulations, had long since become indifferent to personal life and death, he still couldn't put his heavy heart at ease when he thought of the ordinary people living in the port city—especially the villagers in the fishing village…
After a while.
Once I felt a little more at ease.
Lord Lu slowly turned his gaze to the side room, his eyes revealing an indescribable longing and a hint of worry.
finally.
His lips trembled slightly as he murmured to himself.
My father!
"He never really expected me to achieve anything earth-shattering!"
"He always goes on and on about how our Lu family has had only one son for several generations!"
Finally, Lord Lu sighed deeply and said with great emotion, "Alas, my father's greatest wish was simply that I, in my generation, would have many children, preferably surrounded by grandchildren, and that our family would be prosperous and thriving. Only then would we have done right by our ancestors!"
That brings us to this point.
He couldn't help but recall the scene of the battle halfway up the mountain, and his eyes instantly welled up with tears, which flowed out like a burst dam.
He buried his head deeply, covered his face with his hands, and trembled slightly, as he poured out the grief that had been building up inside him for so long.
After a while, once my mood had calmed down a bit, I finally got to the point where I could calm down a little.
Lord Lu slowly lowered his hand from his face, then stared intently at Ni Kun, pleading in an almost begging tone, "Brother Kun, there's something I'd like to ask you to convey to Patriarch Ni Yongxiao!"
He hadn't finished speaking.
"Can!"
Ni Kun readily agreed and solemnly promised, "When the Ni family leaves, we will definitely send someone to pick her up and leave together. As for this child... our Ni family will certainly take good care of him!"
After a while.
After bidding farewell to Lord Lu, Ni Kun rode his Land Rover straight towards the border sea after leaving the county government office.
Yes, deep in his heart, there was always a question: what was the difference between the Boundary Sea that trapped Haotian and the Boundary Sea of his own port city?
After an incense stick has burned.
As they got closer to the boundary sea, the number of people they could see around them gradually decreased.
Clearly, apart from fishermen, ordinary people also keep their distance from places like the Boundary Sea and don't like to approach it easily.
After a while.
"Splash splash splash..."
A deafening roar of the tide came, as if the entire port city was being submerged by the surging waves.
Followed by.
An endless blue ocean appeared before my eyes—the Boundary Sea! It just burst into view without warning.
"Splash splash splash..."
From afar, the white waves surged in like a stampede of ten thousand horses, a magnificent and awe-inspiring sight.
Looking at the scene before me.
A feeling that was hard to describe welled up in Ni Kun’s heart, as if this vast and boundless sea of boundaries was issuing some kind of mysterious and powerful call to him.
"Tick-tock! Tick-tock!"
Time passed by second by second without stopping.
Before we knew it.
The old and dilapidated houses along the coast gradually came into view.
These houses have clearly weathered the vicissitudes of time, appearing exceptionally ancient and weathered.
They once witnessed countless sunrises and sunsets, and the hard work of fishermen, but now they have been abandoned for a long time...
Because of the better and more comfortable life available in the city, many young and strong people have moved there to make a living.
Here, only a handful of elderly people, women, and children remain, continuing the ancient and traditional profession of fishing.
They don't make a living from this; more often than not, they simply want to follow in the footsteps of their ancestors and pass on that deep affection for the Boundary Sea...
Looking at the vast, boundless sea, many simple and crude floating houses dot the landscape.
Since the scourge of war was eradicated, the people who lived there have long since moved away and integrated into the bustling and vibrant life there.
"Whoosh!"
Ni Kun leaped off the back of the tiger beneath him, his legs seemingly out of control, involuntarily walking towards the turbulent Boundary Sea.
