Recently, Old Lady Mu asked Mu Jin who that man was, but she refused to tell him, fearing that she would cause trouble for him.
Lu Jingzhi faced the three rapid-fire questions from Old Lady Mu, then took a deep breath and said, "My father's name is Lu Cheng, the head of the Lu family in Panping Town, but I don't have the chance to meet you at this moment."
Hearing this, Old Lady Mu frowned slightly and asked, "Why is that?"
An unconcealable sadness instantly appeared on Lu Jingzhi's face, and his voice became low: "Because... he was murdered..."
Then, he recounted the entire story of Lu Cheng's unfortunate death to Old Lady Mu in detail.
After hearing this, Old Lady Mu stood there as if petrified, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
She placed her already old and skinny hands on the back of Lu Jingzhi's hands and sighed deeply, "Alas... My child, you have suffered so much. Lu Jingzhi..."
Lu Jingzhi shook his head slightly. "Fortunately, my father, with the help of our ancestors, successfully brought the soul back."
"Now, all I need are two rare treasures from heaven and earth. Then I can start refining a new body for my father and give him a new life."
As he spoke, he subconsciously looked down at his storage ring.
However, to his great astonishment, there was nothing on his fingers.
My storage ring is missing!
"My...my storage ring is gone?" Lu Jingzhi was shocked and began to look around anxiously.
At this time, Old Lady Mu comforted her, "Don't panic. Your mother took your ring away. I will have her return it to you tomorrow."
Lu Jingzhi felt a little relieved after hearing this, but he was still a little uneasy.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked again, "Then, Great-grandmother, have I been asleep for a whole month this time?"
Old Lady Mu nodded slightly, "Yes, you drained the blood pool completely in just one month."
Hearing this, he stood up suddenly and said anxiously, "That won't do! I have to get the ring back quickly."
Old Lady Mu couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and quickly persuaded her, "Oh, there's no need to rush for a while, right?"
However, Lu Jingzhi was so anxious that he didn't care about anything else.
"No! I still have to inject my soul power into my father's soul tank."
Mu Qing had previously instructed him that he needed to inject a certain amount of soul power into the soul storage tank every month to nourish and warm Lu Cheng's soul.
But who would have thought that a whole month had passed since he fell asleep.
Seeing Lu Jingzhi's impatient look, Mrs. Mu sighed inwardly, then reached out and gently patted his shoulder.
"Don't worry, just keep walking down this mountain until you reach the mansion in the center of Tiansha Village."
"That's where your mother lives."
"But my wife..."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of her here."
"But it's better not to tell your mother about your father for the time being."
"It would be best if we could successfully refine your father's new body without her knowing."
"This way, it can be regarded as a big surprise for her."
Listening to her endless advice, Lu Jingzhi nodded solemnly, "Okay, I understand, great-grandmother." After that, Lu Jingzhi glanced at Yan An lying on the bed, and called the two elves to fly back into his body.
Afterwards, he left the small courtyard and flew towards the mansion...
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn.
Mu Zhenhua sat upright in the first seat, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
He took a sip of the fragrant tea, but felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
"Mu Jin, I really don't know what to say to you!"
"Marriage has always been about matching social status, but you, on the other hand, secretly married me and gave birth to a child!"
"Do you still see me as your father?" Mu Zhenhua became more and more angry as he spoke, and slammed his hand heavily on the table beside him.
