"If I hadn't cut off all surveillance for you, how long do you think you could have stayed safely in that little temple?"
Lu Peiran stood silently to one side, without saying a word.
Lu Heng sighed, "Pei Ran, you are my son. No one wants you to be well more than I do."
The world is in chaos right now, and even I can't guarantee I can protect you. You should think carefully about your future.
You are naturally intelligent, even a little better than your older brother.
So think about it carefully, there's still so much you can do in this world..."
Lu Peiran remained silent, unsure how to tell his father about his current situation.
When he was about to leave the mountain, he only had time to say goodbye to his master and didn't have time to say anything else.
Therefore, he didn't know whether he could still call himself a monk now that he was in such a situation.
Deep down, Lu Peiran never dared to think about one thing.
If he is no longer a monk at Lianhua Temple, is he still his senior brother's junior brother?
If my senior brother knew about these things, would he...?
Did they become estranged from each other from then on?
These were things Lu Peiran dared not even think about; just thinking about them filled him with uncontrollable panic…
That night, under the cover of the Flying Eagle, Lu Peiran once again entered the palace through the secret passage.
It was the same window. After carefully observing that there was no one else inside, Lu Peiran quietly climbed in.
Liao Wu, who was turning his prayer beads, looked over without surprise, a faint smile on his face. "Junior brother, you've come!"
Lu Peiran's stern face, which had been expressionless all day, couldn't help but break into a smile. "Hmm! Senior brother, have you had dinner yet?"
He nodded without hesitation. "I've already used it."
Lu Peiran walked over happily, then took out an oil paper package from his pocket. "Although the food in the palace is exquisite and delicious, I think you probably won't be used to it, Senior Brother!"
Do you remember when we used to live on the mountain? You used to roast sweet potatoes for me all the time. I roasted one for you today too.
A hint of surprise appeared on her face. "Really? It looks so sweet."
I really can't get used to the food here; it's not as good as the wild vegetable buns we used to eat together.
Over the years, when I eat, I often think of the times I used to eat with you.
Whenever I think about this, I always feel my appetite improves considerably.
Although Liao Wu's words were nothing special, Lu Peiran blushed and felt an uncontrollable joy rising in his heart.
Seeing Lu Peiran's appearance, he asked without any concern, "Junior brother, why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?"
Lu Peiran quickly patted his face, "No, it's just that I was in a hurry when I ran over, and I'm hot."
Liao Wu was no longer worried and picked up the sweet potato that Lu Peiran had roasted for him to eat.
"Mmm! It's so sweet!"
Seeing the sweet look on Liao Wu's face as he ate, Lu Peiran felt incredibly satisfied.
"I'm glad you like it, senior brother... Oh, right, senior brother, I have something to tell you!"
Liao Wu broke off a piece of roasted sweet potato and handed it to Lu Peiran, saying, "Tell me!"
Lu Peiran did not refuse, and while eating, he talked about the Lu family's plans.
After hearing this, he widened his eyes in surprise, "King Qi?"
Lu Peiran nodded, "That's right! This is the choice made jointly by my father and the elders of the clan."
My father has spies all over the world, so he believes that the King of Qi is more trustworthy than the King of Lu.
Then, the King of Qi is much stronger than the King of Lu!
Therefore, senior brother, you should stop associating with Prince Lu. You won't gain anything from it.
Upon hearing this, Liao Wuwei lowered her eyes slightly, looked at the roasted sweet potato in her hand, and sighed inwardly...
