I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

With a flick of his wrist, Lu Xuan sent the throwing knife shredding Master Huang's head to pieces.

Master Huang's body immediately fell straight to the ground.

Tan Weiquan, who was not far away, gasped when he saw this scene, his eyes filled with shock.

This person is so treacherous and cunning, and so skilled, that it's impossible to guard against them.

"Wait, something's not right?"

Lu Xuan flipped over and landed on his horse, standing not far from the corpse of Master Huang.

An ordinary person would probably think that with Master Huang's head exploding, he was bound to die.

But Lu Xuan's gaze was fixed on Huang Tianba.

Although Huang Tianba is dead, his spiritual energy has not yet dissipated.

It has not weakened at all.

Huang Tianba's aura actually became even stronger!

A strange and frenzied power quickly enveloped Huang Tianba's body.

Lu Xuan didn't know what kind of changes were happening to Huang Tianba, but he knew that he couldn't delay any longer.

Immediately, he swung the chain-knife in his hand towards the opponent's heart.

But this time, Master Huang suddenly raised his hand, grabbed Lu Xuan's throwing knife, and his body quickly sprang up from the ground in a stiff state.

Bang!

At this moment, Master Huang's strength was immense.

The terrifying power that erupted in that instant surprised Lu Xuan.

"Is this the magic of the Blood Mist Cult?"

Lu Xuan was surprised.

The Blood Mother Cult is said to be able to bring people back to life. If they truly have such abilities, it's only natural that they are believed in.

The resurrected Master Huang now had a bloody hole in his head, and his eyes were glowing with an eerie green light.

His face was contorted with rage.

"You bastard, how dare you break my body!"

Old Master Huang was so angry he gritted his teeth.

Even Tan Weiquan, who was standing to the side, looked incredulous upon seeing this.

Master Huang had clearly already...

How come it's alive again?!

Huang Tianba had a secret deal with the Blood Mother Cult, and he was even doing things for the Blood Mother Cult. He was aware of all this, but he never imagined that Huang Tianba would have such abilities.

The blood hole on Huang Tianba's forehead, which appeared quite gruesome after his resurrection, was a stark reminder of his past.

"You want to kill me?"

"I will suck your blood dry, devour your flesh and skin! And then boil your bones into soup!"

A terrifying, chilling aura emanated from Huang Tianba's body.

At the same time, he took a step forward, and his speed exploded, making him three points faster than Lu Xuan.

He raised his hand and unleashed a powerful palm strike.

It was a terrifying energy that erupted from Huang Tianba's body.

Lu Xuan judged that the power of this palm strike was already approaching the second rank!

"boom!"

A vicious crater was blasted open on the ground, and dirt flew everywhere.

The force also impacted Lu Xuan's front.

Lu Xuan took two steps back.

Although he didn't know what was going on with Master Huang, Lu Xuan knew that there was something strange about him and it wasn't wise to continue entangled with him.

It would be better to retreat first. Master Huang probably lost his power by accident, and it won't be easy for him to recover.

After taking a blow from Master Huang, Lu Xuan retreated accordingly.

Its figure was drawn into the jungle.

At this point, Lu Xuan could only retreat and could not advance into the city.

Using his serpentine footwork, Lu Xuan quickly retreated.

Although Master Huang was shouting fiercely, he did not rashly pursue them at this moment.

After all, he didn't know Lu Xuan's background. If this guy had a backup plan or an ambush, it would be extremely disadvantageous for him.

So they didn't chase after them.

"Master...Master?"

Tan Weiquan approached Master Huang and looked at him with surprise.

There was also a hint of fear in his eyes, after all, what had happened to Master Huang seemed to have gone beyond the scope of martial arts.

"Are you alright?"

Tan Weiquan asked in surprise.

"I'm fine. This is a secret technique I've been cultivating! However, my power has been greatly damaged. I need to seize the next few days to recover."

Huang Tianba spoke slowly.

Then, Tan Weiquan circulated his cultivation technique and saw that the blood hole on Huang Tianba's head was gradually disappearing.

"This person is extremely cautious and is very likely an assassin hired by the other two families."

"In my current condition, I cannot easily return to the city. Send me to Mingyue Manor."

"After you go back, first gather some things for me to bring back, and then find an opportunity to capture that old stableman!"

Even now, Huang Tianba hasn't forgotten about causing trouble for Lu Xuan.

At the same time, because his own cultivation technique was broken, he could no longer hide his aura well, giving people an extremely sinister feeling.

Even a casual release of this aura would be enough to terrify an ordinary person and attract the attention of the imperial court. Therefore, Huang Tianba decided to recuperate outside the city.

Mingyue Manor was a private manor built by Huang Tianba on a mountain outside the county town.

It is generally not enabled.

However, the current situation is different.

Furthermore, the Bright Moon Manor also contains the wealth that Huang Tianba has accumulated over the years.

"clear."

Tan Weiquan didn't suspect anything, but the aura emanating from the old man was somewhat eerie, giving off a sinister feeling that made him extremely uncomfortable.

Mingyue Manor is located outside Wuling County, on Mingyue Mountain, about ten miles away.

Huang Tianba bought the entire mountain.

However, Mingyue Manor is not usually guarded, which makes people curious about how the things inside the manor are protected and whether they are afraid of being thieved.

After Lu Xuan left...

Soon they encountered the Huang family guards who had arrived later.

After resting for a while and receiving a reward from Master Huang, these people naturally worked even harder.

However, instead of catching up with Master Huang, these people encountered Lu Xuan, who had just escaped from Master Huang's clutches.

"Huh? Where did this blind fool come from! How dare he block the Huang family's path!"

"Run him over!"

The leader, seeing the road blocked in the distance, immediately shouted.

Lu Xuan raised his head slightly and looked at the group of Huang family guards in front of him.

"Looks like I'll have to start by collecting some interest."

Lu Xuan flicked his wrist.

The chain-throwing knife flew out swiftly from the sleeve.

puff!puff!puff!

In an instant, more than a dozen elite guards from the Huang family...

Under Lu Xuan's onslaught, blood splattered everywhere, and people were killed and fell to the ground.

"You...you're that old stableman..."

During the fight, Lu Xuan's mask fell off, and one of the people recognized him, immediately widening their eyes.

This person was nothing more than a lowly servant in the Huang family.

But now he actually possesses extraordinary cultivation.

Even if he recognized Lu Xuan, it was useless. Lu Xuan stepped forward and snapped the man's neck.

Then, Lu Xuan searched all of their pockets.

In the end, they managed to scrape together nearly a thousand taels of silver.

Furthermore, several people had pills sealed with mud in their pockets that could restore their strength.

This elixir is not of high quality, but even one pill costs several dozen taels of silver, making it quite valuable.

"That Master Huang has the secret techniques of the Blood Mother Cult. Once his strength is restored, he will surely go on a killing spree."

"I don't have that much time; I need to break through to the second rank as soon as possible."

Lu Xuan pocketed the silver and took a longer route back to the city.

At this moment, the sky began to brighten.

First-hand rumors are already circulating throughout the city.

When Lu Xuan learned that Master Huang did not seem to have returned to the city, he guessed that he had probably gone out to recuperate from his injuries.

"If Huang Tianba is going to hide outside, he will definitely hide in a place called Mingyue Manor."

The Bright Moon Manor was actually built by Huang Tianba's father, the patriarch of the Huang family.

When Lu Xuan first came to the Huang family, Huang Tianba's father was in power.

The construction of Mingyue Manor had already begun at that time.

However, the Huang family has always been quite secretive in their dealings, so not many people know about Mingyue Manor.

"For me, although I have the Xuan Tian Martial Bone, because I am too old, my cultivation progress will be slower than that of ordinary people, even with talent."

"The best way to improve my fundamental physical condition is through incense trees!"

Lu Xuan was not the kind of person who would leave a mountain of treasures unused.

I was at Huang's house for a while, and then I was busy with many other things, so I haven't had the chance.

At his age, feelings and such have become quite abstract.

He only values ​​what is tangible and real.

Furthermore, at his age, if he were to engage in romantic relationships, it would be impossible to know when he would actually have children.

The best way is to find a matchmaker to connect you with someone.

Some people even buy wives directly.

But that wouldn't be necessary for Lu Xuan.

Ultimately, it has to be something the other party is willing to do.

As long as you throw money around, plenty of women will volunteer. These days, many ordinary families probably can't even afford to eat.

Of course, Shen Yue and Liu Qingxue should also be informed about this.

But it was just to inform the two of them; it wasn't to seek their opinions.

Lu Xuan bought some breakfast and returned to the granary.

Liu Qingxue and Shen Yue had both woken up long ago.

They were dressed in simple clothes, but their beautiful appearances were still evident.

The granary covers a large area, and some areas need to be specially equipped with rat poison. Patrols should be conducted to check for any sources of fire or other hazards. These dangers and potential risks need to be prevented in a timely manner.

"You're all awake? I brought you breakfast. Also, I have something else to tell you."

Liu Qingxue is practicing her martial arts.

Shen Yue was tending to the small vegetable patch outside the house.

Upon hearing Lu Xuan's words, the two obediently put down what they were doing and came to Lu Xuan's side.

"If there is anything you need, please just give the order."

Shen Yue smiled.

Liu Qingxue nodded very seriously.

Lu Xuan saved her life and retrieved her family's martial arts techniques; this kindness was greater than the heavens.

In this chaotic world, being able to follow a kind and powerful master like Lu Xuan is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"I have wandered all my life and have not left any bloodline to continue my lineage. So I was thinking of finding a matchmaker to help me find a son or daughter so that my Lu family can have some fun."

"You two should try your best to conceive, so that our family will become stronger and stronger!"

Lu Xuan said.

This was the explanation he had prepared long ago.

At his age, it's perfectly reasonable for him to want to have descendants.

Moreover, he didn't mean he didn't want Shen Yue and Liu Qingxue; he just wanted to find someone else to have more children.

In the current martial arts world, such thoughts and ideas are perfectly normal.

Even Liu Qingxue and the other person had already anticipated this.

"Master is a martial artist, so naturally he must continue the bloodline. It's just that Yue'er is useless and hasn't been able to conceive yet."

Shen Yue lowered her head in shame.

Lu Xuan chuckled. In fact, Shen Yue was already pregnant, but generally speaking, it would take at least two months before any symptoms would appear.

Once the child is born, Lu Xuan will receive the Innate Fate Fruit, or even more powerful and abundant rewards.

However, that doesn't affect what Lu Xuan is currently searching for.

"Yes, yes, with the master's abilities, it's only right that he takes several wives."

Liu Qingxue herself came from a small family.

Her father married more than twenty women.

In a chaotic world of martial arts, poor families can't even afford to eat, so why would they care about selling a few children?

If it weren't for his first wife constantly keeping him in check, Master Huang would probably have married over a hundred wives.

Moreover, in the eyes of Liu Qingxue and Shen Yue.

The fact that the master specifically informed them about this matter shows his respect for them, which touched me deeply.

"Okay, I'll go find the matchmaker to make arrangements in a bit."

Lu Xuan said.

In this kind of situation, as long as you spend money, you can get all kinds of resources.

If you have money, you can even buy your freedom from the most beautiful courtesan.

Shen Yue gritted her teeth slightly, her expression showing some struggle. When she looked at Lu Xuan, she was afraid and dared not speak.

The old man has already saved her life. If she were to make further demands, wouldn't that seem excessive? After all, her uncle's family is notoriously greedy.

"Is something on Xiaoyue'er's mind?"

Lu Xuan looked at Shen Yue's struggling face. This girl was young after all; everything was written on her face.

"Master...Master..."

"I……"

Shen Yue opened her mouth.

"It's alright, just tell me."

Lu Xuan waved his hand, his tone gentle.

Finally, Shen Yue mustered up her courage.

If he didn't speak up, his younger sister might be sold to an even more miserable and harsh environment.

"Master, Yue'er has a request."

"I implore you, sir, to intervene and buy back my sister..."

"She is very sensible and hardworking, and she is even prettier than me."

"I will also teach her well so that she can serve the master together."

Shen Yue walked to the side and knelt down in front of Lu Xuan.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan...

So that's what it was. It's not a big deal for him now.

The Huang family bought Shen Yue for only twenty taels of silver.

In the past, Lu Xuan would naturally not have been able to produce it.

But now it's different.

If money can't solve the problem, then Lu Xuan does know a little bit about martial arts.

"So that's what it was about."

"I didn't want to bring this up, because I was afraid you wouldn't want to and would feel awkward."

"If your sister also wants to come with me, that would be the best. You sisters can look after each other."

Lu Xuan chuckled.

Shen Yue is so pure and beautiful, so wouldn't her younger sister be even more radiant?

I never imagined I'd be this old.

What a blessing!
