There were two secret passages under the bed, one on the left and one on the right.
Lu Chi and his sister hesitated.
Lu Jian reminded him, "Go to the left."
Su Diandian was sulking and didn't want to talk at all.
Lu Chi has already chosen the right path for himself.
Finally, the group successfully reached the secret room.
This secret chamber was built by Lu Jian before his death, and the stone inside can block divine sense from searching.
Su Diandian was placed on one of the small wooden beds.
The room was extremely quiet; you could hardly hear anything outside.
Lu Jian went out to scout out the enemy's situation.
Lu Chi squatted on the ground counting the supplies, which included water and dry rations.
If they are not discovered, this food will be enough for them to hide for half a month.
In addition, their storage bags also contained some dried fruit and snacks that they usually ate.
Enduring twenty days is no problem!
Lu Xiang'er has stopped crying.
With red eyes, she broke the dry, flatbread in half and threw it into a bowl of cold water.
The hard, unyielding flatbread cannot be softened by soaking in cold water.
She could only feed Su Diandian little by little.
Although Su Diandian is not afraid of death or pain, she is still very afraid of hunger.
She had been lying at the bottom of a cliff for half a month, and she was so hungry that she started hallucinating.
When she was able to move around, she almost ate all the grass next to her.
Lu Chi's healing pill was indeed remarkably effective.
Although she couldn't move, she could feel her injuries healing rapidly.
That would be a terrible mistake, a waste of medicinal pills.
Lu Chi, who was eating a dry pancake next to him, sneered: "Hmph, you really are pathetic. Your cultivation level has actually dropped to the Qi Refining stage."
He remembered that when he first met her, her cultivation level was quite high.
Su Diandian was too lazy to argue with him.
Lu Chi continued to mock her, "If my brother saw you looking like this, he would definitely burst out laughing."
Su Diandian thought, he's already seen it, okay?
However, he didn't laugh.
At this moment, Lu Jian, who had been scouting enemy positions, returned.
He stood at the foot of the bed and told Su Diandian, "The Wang family is still searching the mansion."
Su Diandian had read about it in the materials.
The Lu and Wang families are sworn enemies.
For centuries, the two sides have been locked in a stalemate.
As for the reason for the feud, it is said to be due to a marriage alliance between the two families years ago.
At that time, the young master of the Lu family married Miss Wang.
As a result, the couple died tragically while traveling.
The two families initially shared a common hatred and worked together to find the murderer.
But upon further investigation, it turned out that both husband and wife were having affairs.
Both men died at the hands of each other's lovers.
And so, the two families blamed each other, then broke off relations, and finally stopped speaking to each other altogether.
However, the two companies have been secretly competing and suppressing each other.
Actually, so many years have passed, and what happened back then is no longer important.
The hatred that followed all stemmed from self-interest.
However, since the two companies are evenly matched, the dispute has not reached a conclusion over the years.
Until a few years ago, a daughter of the Wang family married Shen Helin, the master of the Changsheng Hall.
Shen Helin heard that the Lu family had a forbidden area.
The forbidden area contained a secret treasure, so he secretly helped the Wang family to kill the Lu family.
The result was that the entire Lu family was wiped out.
Thinking of this, Su Diandian couldn't help but look at Lu Chi and Lu Xiang'er.
Does the complete annihilation of the Lu family mean that these two little guys, barely ten years old, will also die?
Lu Chi noticed that she was looking at him and couldn't help but frown slightly.
He crossed his arms, looking displeased: "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen such a handsome man before?"
Lu Jian walked up and reached out to knock his brother's head, but then remembered that he couldn't touch his brother, so he could only withdraw his hand.
"A brat who hasn't even grown up yet."
After Su Diandian finished cursing, she closed her eyes and stopped talking and eating.
"You're still wet behind the ears? Who are you calling a brat?" Lu Chi was furious and wanted to explode, but he eventually suppressed his anger.
He hung his head, seemingly lost in thought.
The secret room suddenly became deathly silent.
Lu Chi was, after all, just a fourteen-year-old boy.
He was terrified and felt guilty at the sight of the deaths of his entire clan.
He blamed himself for his incompetence and for being unable to protect his family.
The root of all this is that I am too young and my cultivation is not strong enough.
In order to prevent his sister and Su Diandian from noticing his vulnerability, he deliberately acted as if nothing was wrong.
It seems that only in this way will people not worry.
Lu Jian understood his younger brother's low spirits.
He looked at Su Diandian and asked her for help.
"Please convey my message to them: they should go to Cangwu Mountain to become disciples. Right now, only Cangwu Mountain can protect them."
The Lu family has done a favor for the mountain lord of Cangwu Mountain, so taking in the brother and sister shouldn't be a problem.
Su Diandian hummed in agreement, then took Lu Xiang'er's hand.
"Your brother asked me to tell you two that once you're safe, you should go to Cangwu Mountain to become disciples, because only Cangwu Mountain can protect you."
Lu Chi scoffed at her, "What nonsense are you talking about? My brother can't predict the future. He's already dead, how could he know that we're in trouble?"
