“Hahahahahaha…God is helping me, God is really helping me!”
The vast underground cave was filled with excited laughter. The voice was old and rough, but one could easily feel the excitement of the owner of the voice.
Two groups of people stood opposite each other in the mine. Bubbles kept coming out of the lava flow on one side, and the popping sounds grew louder and louder. Except for the old man's wild laughter, everyone in the cave had expressions of shock and astonishment on their faces.
When Lu Wuxiu was forced to show up by Taoist Qingfeng, as soon as everyone saw his face, they knew that he was the first child of Lian Ji and Lu Shengyang.
Aside from his eyes, Lu Wuxiu's face was identical to Lu Shengyang's, except for his fairer, more delicate skin. Of course, everyone present had seen Lu Lianqi before, and the current Lu Wuxiu was simply a grown-up version of him.
Since he appeared, there was not much panic on Lu Wuxiu's face. His gaze stayed on Lian Ji and Lu Shengyang for a long time, but his face did not show much emotion.
"It's you?" Lian Ji was stunned for a moment. She also looked at Lu Wuxiu opposite for a long time. Seeing that he was still silent, she couldn't help but think of the days in the mine.
——
As a new mother, she had sincerely taken care of Lu Wuxiu when he was still young and had not yet learned to walk and talk. However, as the child grew up, her motherly love was worn away by the darkness of life.
She grew up in a mine. She was also young and ignorant. She has also seen many children. Everyone is born ignorant, like a blank piece of paper. What is engraved on the paper is all pieced together by the acquired living environment, personal opportunities, character, etc.
In a mine like that, most white paper was originally colored, but slowly faded and stained black in the darkness. But Lu Wuxiu was different. From the very beginning, he was colorless. His calm black eyes were not like those of a child. They seemed to be able to peek into the dirty hearts of people through the surface.
This terrified Lian Ji. In countless hopeless nights, she had thought about strangling Lu Wuxiu to death, and this thought tortured her madly. She remembered that one winter night, she took action, and she clearly remembered that he was completely dead.
She secretly abandoned him in a corner where no one cared about him. She also cried for him, but when she woke up in the daytime, she saw him alive again. He was standing quietly not far from her, his eyes without any fluctuations. Like before, she did not see any hatred or love in those eyes.
If it weren't for the obvious marks on Lu Wuxiu's neck, Lian Ji would have thought that the murder was just a nightmare. After a period of fearful waiting, and without any revenge, Lian Ji's heart gradually settled down.
From that moment on, Lian Ji knew that she and this child would never get along well. Since she couldn't kill him, all she could do was to make things difficult for him. But no matter what she did, the child was like an evil ghost that she couldn't drive away.
On the day she emerged from the mines, she saw him at his most human, when he cried, "Mother, please don't kill me." What was going through her mind at that moment?
Oh, at that time she knew that she had finally escaped from the mine and finally got rid of this monster. She was ecstatic in her heart. It was the happiest day since she was born.
She thought they would never meet again in this life, but she didn't expect that this meeting would be so sudden.
It has been ten years, Lian Ji thought. Lu Wuxiu has lived in the normal human world for ten years and should have learned a lot. At least it should not be the same as in the mine.
However, there was only curiosity in Lu Wuxiu's eyes when he looked at Lu Shengyang, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her was still the same as before, without love, hatred, or even a trace of...longing.
Still the same as before, a cold monster!
——
"Why are you here? What are you doing here? Are you here to kill me?" Lian Ji asked in panic. She naturally discovered that Lu Wuxiu was now a cultivator.
Lian Ji thought that Lu Wuxiu hadn't done anything to her before because he wasn't powerful enough at the time, so he endured it. But now it was different. After ten years of separation, Lu Wuxiu was now a cultivator, and now he appeared here again, he must be here for revenge!
Lian Ji stared at Lu Wuxiu opposite her. Besides panic and fear, there was also a strange expectation in her heart. She expected to see hatred for herself in the child's eyes. This was the least reaction a person should have.
Unfortunately, Lu Wuxiu still disappointed her. He shook his head and said lightly: "No, it was just a chance encounter."
"Hahahaha, a chance encounter? The secret realm is so vast, and this hot land is barren. Who else would come here besides us?" Qingfeng answered, laughing wildly, unable to hide the sarcasm and smile on his face: "Young man, if you want to lie, at least choose a good excuse."
Lian Ji knew, and she believed, that Lu Wuxiu hadn't lied. But so what? No one would care; he was going to die here today.
"Master, since this child has come to your door, you can use him to sacrifice your sword!" The speaker was Lu Shengyang. His tone was still as flattering as before, and he looked at Lu Wuxiu as if he was looking at a stranger who had nothing to do with him.
"Lu Shengyang, this is your child too, don't you feel sorry for him?" Qingfeng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Even though he considered himself cruel and ruthless, he had to admit defeat in front of Lu Shengyang.
Of course, Qingfeng asked this to test Lu Shengyang. If Lu Shengyang dared to show any hesitation or hatred towards him, he would kill Lu Shengyang without hesitation after obtaining the Flame-eating Sword.
