Chapter 121: Step without Trace



Lu Dongliang, the ancestor of the Lu family, went up to the third floor of Qianyue Restaurant alone.

Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Dongliang took off his suit, hooked his finger at Qiu Zhiheng, and motioned Qiu Zhiheng to come over and take over.

Actually, Qiu Zhiheng didn't need to deal with this matter, but since Lu Dongliang had given the hint, Qiu Zhiheng couldn't disobey and quickly took the suit.

To be honest, Qiu Zhiheng still hasn't come to his senses.

No one present came to their senses.

They didn't know where Lu Dongliang came from.

Lu Dongliang's wife Duan Shaoxia stood up and said with tears in her eyes: "Dongliang, you are back, you are back..."

Lu Dongliang pressed his palm down, signaling her not to speak.

Duan Shaoxia saw that Lu Dongliang was missing a tooth and had scars on his wrist, but she didn't ask much. In front of outsiders, she was very considerate of Lu Dongliang's face.

Lu Dongliang focused his eyes on He Yuxiu's face.

He Yuxiu looked at Lu Dongliang and asked, "Are you still alive?"

Lu Dongliang smiled: "You are just looking forward to my death? It's a pity that you are not capable enough."

He Yuxiu raised her eyebrows and said, "Let me make it clear. Your brother is not capable enough, and he is the one who wants to kill you."

"How shameless," Lu Dongliang spat, "If Dongjun hadn't been there, I would have really died in your hands that night, He Yuxiu, I really didn't expect you to be so vicious and actually colluded with Zhuo Yuling to plot against me!"

Everyone present was extremely surprised; this was totally inconsistent with the news they had heard.

He Cun Shou, the old man of the He family and He Yuxiu's fourth uncle, moved slightly.

He was a seventh-level moral cultivator, and he used his skills.

Anyone who lies in front of him will be severely injured, even Lu Dongliang of the ninth level will be hurt.

He Yuxiu stood up and said, "Lu Dongliang, tell me clearly, who the hell is colluding with Zhuo Yuling? Who plotted against you?"

"That night in my house, you and Zhuo Yuling were the first to take action, right?"

After he finished speaking, He Cunshou did not activate his skills, and what Lu Dongliang said was true.

He Cunshou turned to look at He Yuxiu.

He Yuxiu nodded and said, "I did attack you, but I didn't mean to kill you!"

This sentence is not a lie.

Lu Dongliang nodded and said, "You didn't want to kill anyone, it was Zhuo Yuling who wanted to kill!"

This sentence is not a lie.

He Yuxiu said angrily: "I don't know what they were thinking. I'm different from them. I didn't kill them!"

The two of them argued back and forth, and He Yuxiu repeatedly emphasized that she did not intend to kill anyone at that time.

Lu Dongliang repeatedly emphasized that He Yuxiu was the first to take action that night.

What both of them said were true. After arguing for a long time, Mr. He couldn't hold it anymore.

The old man was over seventy years old, and he had been using the seven-level technique all the time. Just listening to the two people yelling, the tired old man was sweating all over.

"I say you two should be quiet for a while, and let me say something," He Cunshou looked at He Yuxiu first, "Xiu, tell your uncle the truth, was it you who did the thing to Dong Liang that night?"

"It's me." He Yuxiu admitted frankly.

He Cunshou frowned, turned around and asked Lu Dongliang: "Dongliang, our Jiaqing was beaten by your daughter. You promised to give us an explanation. Where is Lu Xiaolan now?"

Lu Dongliang replied: "I don't know where she is either."

truth.

After asking the two key questions, He Cunshou turned off his technique, wiped the sweat off his face, and said to He Yuxiu, "Xiu, you went to someone's house and beat him up. You were wrong. You should apologize to Dongliang first."

He Yuxiu angrily said: "I didn't want to do that. I was just trying to protect myself. You can't blame me for this!"

"You kid!" He Cunshou frowned and said, "Dongliang, Yuxiu has this kind of temper. Don't bother with her. But we have to talk things over with Jiaqing. When can you give me an explanation?"

Lu Dongliang looked at He Yuxiu and sneered, "You'll have to ask your eldest daughter."

He Yuxiu angrily said, "Bullshit, why are you asking me? I have no contact with Zhuo Yuling and Lu Xiaolan."

Seeing the two arguing again, He Cunshou smiled bitterly and said, "I am old now and can't control these young people. Brother Lu, what do you think about this matter?"

An old man also came to the Lu family, Lu Dongliang’s uncle, Lu Maoxian.

Lu Maoxian was over 80 years old, and his eyes could hardly open. He said perfunctorily, "The children decide. The children decide."

He Cunshou stopped talking when he saw this.

Lu Dongliang looked around at everyone and said, "I will continue to track down Zhuo Yuling and Lu Xiaolan's whereabouts. Sooner or later, I will give you the He family an explanation for this matter.

During the time I was away from home, Dongjun took care of the household affairs.

If any of you dare to attack Dongjun again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Lu Dongliang snatched the clothes from Qiu Zhiheng's hand and turned away.

The wife of the main house, Duan Shaoxia, stood up and chased after him: "Dongliang, where are you going? I'll go with you!"

Lu Dongliang turned around abruptly and pushed Duan Shaoxia away: "Don't follow me, all of you, don't follow me, I don't trust anyone now!"

Duan Shaoxia was stunned. She couldn't expect Lu Dongliang to say such words to her.

Hatred grew in her heart, and a trace of blood appeared in Duan Shaoxia's pupils.

Lu Dongliang didn't notice it. He glanced at everyone and turned away.

Everyone in the room was stunned, He Yuxiu cursed and Duan Shaoxia burst into tears.

He Cunshou felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't ask too many questions in this situation.

Several important figures in the Lu family also felt that something was wrong. They looked at each other tentatively but did not say anything.

He Yuxiu murmured to herself, "Is this Lu Dongliang?"

More than one person suspected it, but no one said anything.

The Lu family didn’t say it because if they said the wrong thing, things would be very troublesome.

The He family members didn't say anything. They just watched silently. Why should they get anxious while watching a show?

"Lu Dongliang" returned to Lu Dongjun's residence and entered his bedroom quietly.

Facing the mirror, he peeled off the fake skin on his face.

He thought he had performed the play perfectly and smiled with satisfaction to himself.

He took the dentures out of the lion's mouth and put them in his own mouth.

Soon, his cheeks began to twitch.

He will have toothache for the next three days.

This is the price of using lions.

Yuezhou Third Hospital, in the ward.

He Jiaqing couldn't laugh anymore.

A familiar voice came to his ears: "Lu Dongliang went to Qianyue Tower for a banquet and confronted your aunt face to face."

Lu Dongliang just came back as if nothing had happened?

Is Lu Dongliang really not dead?

The other side asked: "Can you see it? How did Lu Dongliang survive?"

He Jiaqing shook his head and said, "I can't see anything at all, it's all blurry, it seems like there is a very powerful force. Are you sure this person is Lu Dongliang?"

"I'll check it out." The other side responded.

"Don't go. You can't be exposed yet. If that person is really Lu Dongliang, you must be careful and on guard.

Don't report this matter to the newspaper yet, wait for my news.

Please deliver a letter for me and I will find someone to check it for me."

The nurse next to him was sleeping. He Jiaqing sat up and his body flashed on the bed, with a pen, an envelope and a piece of letter paper in his hand.

He took these from the stationery store downstairs. The owner of the stationery store didn't see anyone and didn't know what happened.

He quickly wrote a letter, put it in an envelope, sealed it with spit, put a stamp on it, and rubbed it in his hand for a moment.

A gust of wind blew and the envelope disappeared.

The nurse suddenly woke up and looked up at He Jiaqing.

He Jiaqing was still lying on the bed, motionless.

In the Lu family mansion, Monkey Qiu sat in a small building in the front yard, not saying a word.

Although he was a prominent figure in the Lu family, Qiu Zhiheng was a servant after all. It was unimaginable for a servant to have a separate small building in the mansion in other large families.

But Qiu Zhiheng had this treatment. He had followed Lu Dongliang since he was ten years old, and it had been a full twenty-eight years. This gave him a higher status than many members of the Lu family.

But this status seems to be no longer maintainable.

Getting clothes for Lu Dongliang in front of everyone is not a big deal; it is what a housekeeper should do.

But Lu Dongliang didn't trust him at all. He hadn't given him any news for so many days. He didn't tell him that he showed up today, and he didn't allow him to follow him when he left. This was something Monkey Qiu couldn't accept.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

There was a knock on the door, Qiu Zhiheng answered it, and the big boss Zuo Wugang walked in.

"Qiu Tou, I brought you a jar of wine. I want to have a drink with you."

Qiu Zhiheng was startled. Looking at Zuo Wugang's expression, he understood his intention: "You want to leave?"

Zuo Wugang nodded: "Whether I can leave or not depends on your words."

"Why are you leaving? Are you afraid that the master will blame you?"

Zuo Wugang put down the wine jar, sat opposite Qiu Zhiheng and said, "If you want to say you are afraid, I was a little bit afraid before. If the master dies like this, I can't get away from it.

But today the master came back, and I met him at the door. Not to mention blaming him, he didn't even look at me. Just based on this, I knew in my heart that the Lu family could no longer tolerate me.

Mr. Qiu, I have never complained since the accident. I am only saying this to you. It is not my fault. I have never been blamed from the beginning to the end!

This is not your fault. I really don't understand what the master means.

I'm leaving. With our cultivation, we can find a job anywhere. Qiutou, if you want to leave, we can go together."

Qiu Zhiheng was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "I can't leave. My life was given by the Lu family. Please take care of yourself."

Zuo Wugang didn't say anything more. He stood up and said goodbye. When he walked to the door, he found a letter in the crack of the door.

"Qiu Tou, there is a letter here."

Qiu Zhiheng was stunned: "You wrote to me?"

Zuo Wugang waved his hand and said, "I can't even read a few characters, so why should I write a letter? Besides, I'm still here, is there anything I can't tell you?"

He handed the letter to Qiu Zhiheng and turned to leave.

Qiu Zhiheng opened the envelope, took a look, and immediately froze in place.

The person who wrote the letter claimed to be Lu Xiaolan, and the handwriting was indeed hers.

The contents of the letter are as follows:

The Lu Dongliang you saw is fake.

He used my necklace.

There were scars on his wrists.

Anyone who has used that necklace will have scars on their wrists.

Li Banfeng went to Xindi to get the clay.

On the way, Li Banfeng asked something: "Brother Ma, have you seen the travel repairman on the second floor?"

Ma Wu nodded and said, "I have seen it."

"What techniques do the second-level travel repairs have?"

"You shouldn't ask me this. Aren't you Lu Xiu?"

Li Banfeng said seriously: "I am a first-level cultivator, of course I don't know the second-level techniques.

Ma Wu said: "The second level of Lu Xiu's technique is called Step Without Trace."

Li Banfeng blinked and asked, "Is this Qinggong?"

"It's not Qinggong, it's that the travel cultivator can sneak a step while moving. The two sides were fighting within three steps, and the travel cultivator might suddenly move one step closer or one step away during the fight.

This step takes almost no time, and even a peeping cultivator's eyesight cannot see the steps of a travel cultivator of the same level, which often catches the opponent off guard."

Li Banfeng thought of the second-level brigade cultivator Huang Guangshi who had been killed.

Huang Guangshi can teleport, and he had the upper hand when fighting with Li Banfeng. Li Banfeng didn't know the opponent's level of cultivation, and thought that he was using extremely high-level techniques.

This method is powerful, but how should this technique be used?

Ma Wu thought for a while and said, "I once heard a travel practitioner say that the techniques and mechanisms of travel practitioners are not difficult, but the difficulty lies in controlling the scale.

"Step Without Trace" seems to be driven by the mind. The caster must firmly believe that he can take this step and really want to take this step in order for it to work."

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "That is to say, this technique cannot be used whenever you want. If you are not confident at the critical moment, it may not work?"

Ma Wu nodded and said, "Just as Brother Li said, I once heard of a third-level cultivator who wanted to take a step back during a battle, but in his impatience, he took a step forward and collided directly with the opponent's weapon, killing him."

ps: Lu Dongliang once used the "Leakless Steps" technique when he fought with He Yuxiu.
