"What did you say?!"

The man, who had been speaking in a trembling voice and was only kept alive by the medication Lu Yuan had given him beforehand, suddenly raised his voice and stared intently at Lu Yuan with wide eyes.

Upon seeing this.

Lu Yuan patiently repeated the instructions.

"Separation from sulfur core".

"She must have left home before. Have you ever heard of this name...?"

Before Lu Yuan could finish speaking, the man began shaking his head frantically.

"No, no! I've never heard of that name before!"

Seeing the man's unusual behavior, Lu Yuan frowned.

"Never heard of this name? But your reaction makes it seem like you know something about it!"

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

After he uttered the name Li Liuxin, the man's pupils suddenly dilated, his muscles contracted violently, and his entire body trembled violently.

Judging from his appearance alone, even a fool could tell that he had heard of the name Li Liuxin, and might even know something about him.

But what could make him appear so terrified and broken?

Faced with Lu Yuan's persistent questioning, the man remained trembling and refused to speak.

After a long while, he finally uttered a few words in a very unclear, soft voice.

"Li Liuxin is the eldest daughter of the Li family patriarch, and also Li Jiangtian's older sister. She defected from the Li family twenty years ago and is still being hunted down. Her name is a taboo in the Myriad Realms Heaven. Please, please don't ask me about her anymore!"

Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat after hearing the man's words.

Twenty years ago?

Isn't that exactly the year Lu Zhaoming found the Heart of Sulfur in the secret realm?

She was also won over by the old trope of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress, fell in love with Lu Zhaoming, married him, and then gave birth to her.

It turns out that Li Liuxin escaped from home on his own.

That means that the people who have been hunting down Li Liuxin for the past twenty years were all sent by the Li family.

But why is that?

No matter what, Li Liuxin is the eldest daughter of the Li family head. Even if she rebelled and ran away from home, she shouldn't have been hunted down for twenty years!

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan wanted to ask something more.

However.

No matter how much Lu Yuan pressed him, the man refused to utter a single word related to Li Liuxin. In fact, he became extremely distraught under questioning, as if the three words "Li Liuxin" were some kind of man-eating monster.

Seeing that the man was on the verge of a mental breakdown, Lu Yuan did not press him further. Instead, he turned to give a look to Uncle Fu, who was standing behind him. The latter immediately understood, stepped forward, and knocked the man unconscious.

After knocking the man unconscious, Uncle Fu turned to Lu Yuan and spoke respectfully.

"Young Master, should I go and ask the other two people?"

Lu Yuan did not reply immediately, but pondered for a moment before nodding.

"In that case, why don't you give it a try? But I doubt you'll get any information from other people either."

Recalling the man's behavior just now, Lu Yuan couldn't help but recall the scene when he interrogated Jiang Xiujie and the others. When the topic of leaving home came up, all of them looked like they dared not speak.

Even the man who had already fainted was stammering when he spoke, and his eyes kept darting to the side.

It seems like everyone is holding something back.

However, the man's expression suddenly changed drastically after the name Li Liuxin was mentioned, which was enough to show that the name Li Liuxin was extraordinary and might even hide some important secret.

so.

He didn't think he could get anything more out of other people.

However, there's no harm in letting Uncle Fu try again. What if he can find out something? After all, this man in front of him gave him some information that Jiang Xiujie couldn't tell him back then.

As it turned out, Lu Yuan's idea was correct.

No matter what methods Uncle Fu used, the other two men remained silent and refused to reveal any information about Li Liuxin.

"It seems that the influence of being away from home is far more powerful than I imagined."

After listening to Uncle Fu's retelling, Lu Yuan couldn't help but frown.

What exactly happened in the Myriad Realms Heaven that made the name Li Liuxin a taboo, to the point that people dared not even mention it?

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

He thought he could use this opportunity to resolve his long-standing doubts, but to his surprise, as he learned more information, his doubts not only did not improve, but actually multiplied, giving him a huge headache.

"Young Master, you've done very well. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Seeing that Lu Yuan was troubled by this, Uncle Fu asked with some concern.

Since leaving the Lu family for Yunlei City, he has watched Lu Yuan gradually build up his power to its current state.

As the old servant who watched Lu Yuan grow up, he was happy for Lu Yuan's growth, but at the same time he felt a deep heartache.

It's like how parents can't bear to see their children suffer in front of them.

But.

This world is a dog-eat-dog world; those who are weak will be bullied and suppressed by others.

He once relied on his high level of beast taming, thinking he could support Lu Yuan, but the Jiang family's affairs were like a blow that rudely woke him from his dream.

Until this point.

He realized that he was no longer able to protect Lu Yuan with his own abilities, and that the boy who had not grown up in his eyes had already grown into a man who could stand on his own.

Lu Yuan noticed the change in Uncle Fu's mood and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Uncle Fu, no matter what happens in the future, I will always be the Lu Yuan you watched grow up."

Since arriving in this world, Uncle Fu has been by his side. Whether for the original owner or for himself, Uncle Fu is the most trustworthy person and has an extraordinary significance.

Therefore, no matter how things develop in the future, Uncle Fu's position in Lu Yuan's heart will never be shaken.
