Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Hehe, it's not really meddling. It's just that old man Lu Jinyuan is about to die, and the former Lu family elders, wanting him to die in peace, urgently ordered me to go back and handle his funeral arrangements..."

When Lu Feng asked her a question, Lu Xiaoxiang just smiled coldly, then shook her head, her tone remaining calm and even.

Clearly, his resentment towards his biological father, Lu Jinyuan, was extremely strong, and even though the latter was now on the verge of death, his resentment had not diminished in the slightest.

Seeing this, Lu Feng didn't say much. He simply cupped his hands slightly and then said, "Miss Lu, if you don't mind, I'll accompany you to the Lu family in the Southern Yue Kingdom this time, as a token of my friendship."

Because he has been a smart person since childhood, he is very good at reading people's expressions. Now that he sees that Lu Xiaoxiang is unwilling to talk too much about her biological father Lu Jinyuan, Lu Feng naturally chooses to keep quiet as well.

"Lu Feng, thank you!"

Seeing Lu Feng's sincere expression and firm tone, and that he wanted to return to the Lu family in Nan Yue Kingdom with her, Lu Xiaoxiang was also slightly stunned and deeply moved. She couldn't help but nod.

Although she was once the eldest daughter of the prestigious Lu family, with a status that was unparalleled within the family.

However, things are different now. With the current head of the family, Lu Jinyuan, falling ill and nearing the end of his life, the entire Lu family has been plunged into a fierce power struggle and unpredictable events.

Not only are the Lu family's eldest elders and others coveting the position of family head, but even some collateral elders and outsiders are starting to get restless, also planning to grab a share of the pie at this crucial moment of power transition in the Lu family.

Therefore, Lu Xiaoxiang was naturally deeply moved when she heard that Lu Feng wanted to return to the Lu family in the Southern Yue Kingdom with her.

Because the struggle for power is not only filled with cruelty and ruthlessness, but it can also drive people mad and even make them disregard their own family!

With Lu Feng as a helper now, Lu Xiaoxiang will not be isolated and helpless. At the same time, she will be more confident in the upcoming internal struggle within the Lu family and will not be at a disadvantage!

"Not bad, Lu family lad. Your skills at picking up girls have improved a lot lately..."

At this moment, a faint laugh suddenly came from inside the treasure basin, the tone of which was vaguely mocking.

Clearly, Lu Feng and Lu Xiaoxiang's conversation had also reached his ears.

"Damn it! Can't you say one nice thing at a time?"

Faced with Gu Canyang's teasing, Lu Feng's expression stiffened. He then secretly transmitted his voice, "What do you mean by 'greatly improving your womanizing skills'? Do you think I'm that kind of shallow person? This is clearly chivalrous behavior, going to great lengths for a friend, okay?"

"Besides, Miss Lu and I are just ordinary friends. Please don't try to play matchmaker!"

Lu Feng's tone was full of helplessness.

Admittedly, he and Lu Xiaoxiang did have a close relationship, but they were ultimately just ordinary friends, and they did not cross any boundaries. They were more than friends but not quite lovers.

Therefore, Lu Feng would never admit to Gu Canyang's teasing, since his relationship with Lu Xiaoxiang was still far from settled!

The reason why he stopped Lu Xiaoxiang halfway and took the initiative to accompany her back to the Lu family in Nanyue Kingdom is also very simple.

As the saying goes, when a friend is in trouble, one should lend a helping hand; this is the strength of friendship!

In addition, since the other party had a good relationship with Lu Feng in the past, he naturally couldn't stand idly by and watch Lu Xiaoxiang venture into the "dragon's den and tiger's lair" alone.

"Heh, so you're really going to great lengths for a friend, huh? Let's see how long you can keep up this act, you brat..."

Seeing that Lu Feng was still stubbornly refusing to admit his mistake, Gu Canyang merely twitched his beard slightly, glanced at the former with some disdain, and then returned to the inside of the treasure basin without saying anything more.

Because he knew Lu Feng too well. Although the other party was affectionate, he was not devoted to one woman. Moreover, Lu Feng had never lacked women around him over the years. He was practically a reincarnation of Duan Zhengchun!

...

On the other side, outside a stone pavilion on Baiqiu Peak in the Cangmang Mountains.

"Strange, why hasn't Fei'er arrived yet..."

"Could it be that I've misremembered the reporting date for new employees? It shouldn't be wrong..."

A figure in brocade robes stood quietly. He was handsome with bright eyes and exuded a noble aura. He was clearly no ordinary person and had an extraordinary background.

"Could something have happened on the way?"

Suddenly remembering something, Ren Lingyun frowned slightly, a bad premonition rising in his mind.

Swish!

Just as Ren Lingyun was secretly worried, he saw a beautiful yellow figure stepping on a flying sword. She then streaked through the air like a beam of light and landed steadily in front of him, revealing a sweet smile. "Royal Brother!"

The newcomer was dressed in a yellow robe, with long, black hair that reached her waist and ended up in two pigtails. Her pretty face was beaming with a smile that was sure to win one's heart. She was none other than the former Princess Luochuan of Dongyun Kingdom, and now the Prince of Luo, Consort Ren Xuan.

"Fei'er, you've finally arrived!"

Seeing that Consort Ren Xuan had finally arrived late, Ren Lingyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stepped forward, "Brother, I thought I had misremembered the date for the new concubine's arrival. Why haven't you come yet? I'm so glad you're alright...!"

"Oh dear! Your sister is none other than the dignified Prince Luo of Dongyun Kingdom! With Sister Miaoling personally escorting me on this journey, what could possibly happen? Those petty scoundrels outside may have the desire but not the guts, so Your Majesty need not worry!"

Faced with Ren Lingyun's concern, Ren Xuanfei simply waved her hand, then said with a haughty expression, "By the way, where's that guy Lu Feng?"

"Brother Lu?"

When Ren Xuanfei immediately inquired about Lu Feng's whereabouts, Ren Lingyun was taken aback for a moment, then a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face. "Well, uh, Brother Lu, he..."

"Brother, when did you become so indecisive and fussy like a young woman? Tell me quickly!"

Where exactly did Lu Feng go?

Seeing Ren Lingyun suddenly become hesitant, Ren Xuanfei also looked suspicious, clearly seeing him acting like a coy, timid girl for the first time.

"Fei'er, actually Brother Lu left Falling Star Academy yesterday. And according to Junior Brother Wang Wu from the West Academy, Brother Lu's destination seems to be the Southern Yue Kingdom, one of the four kingdoms of Lingnan..."

"Not only that, Brother Lu was not alone on this trip to the Southern Yue Kingdom. He was accompanied by Junior Sister Lu Xiaoxiang from the Northern Academy. It seems that the two of them traveled together..."

Faced with Ren Xuanfei's continuous questioning, Ren Lingyun swallowed hard and then spoke nervously, as if afraid of accidentally provoking her.

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, Ren Xuanfei's pretty face froze slightly at first, then her beautiful eyes widened suddenly, and she was instantly filled with rage. "That damned Lu Feng! That scoundrel Lu Feng! Not only did he used to philander everywhere, but now he's even eloped with another woman...!"

"I'm so angry! I shouldn't have believed that scumbag's sweet talk in the first place...!"

"Damn Lu Feng! I'm definitely not finished with you...!"

Ren Xuanfei's pretty face turned red. She cursed loudly and stomped her feet repeatedly, as if she couldn't wait to bring Lu Feng back from the distant Southern Yue Kingdom and beat him up on the spot to vent her anger!

However, Lu Feng, who was currently thousands of miles away in the Southern Yue Kingdom, was completely unaware of Ren Xuanfei's furious outburst, and was even more unaware that he had been labeled a scumbag by her!

...

Before we knew it, another ten days had passed.

Nanyue Kingdom, Jinling Commandery, outside Yangguan City

"Lu Feng, Yangguan City is just ahead, and the Lu family is located in the prime area of ​​the city: Tianyunfang!"

Looking up at the faintly visible Yangguan City in the distance, Lu Xiaoxiang slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, then looked away and turned to Lu Feng beside her, a hint of weariness appearing in her beautiful eyes.

After all, Yuanfeng Realm is a long way from Nanyue Kingdom. After ten days and ten nights of continuous travel, even Lu Feng, a master of the ninth level of the Spirit Soul Realm, would be struggling to keep up, let alone Lu Xiaoxiang, a martial artist at the Opening Meridian Realm.
