Chapter 799 The Truth, The Storm Begins! [2 Updates]
Upon hearing this, Ying Zijing's eyes narrowed.
Sinai was also her blood relative.
Therefore, she cannot foresee Sinai's past or future.
She could only conclude that the person who gave Sinai the drug was one of the people under the command of the Tower and Yao Guang, and that the drug was made by a magician.
As for Shiloh?
Ying Zijing took out her phone and contacted Fifth Month.
Did you do this?
[Fifth Month]: Hey, Master, has your father gone back yet? Yes, Master, I'm super amazing! People in the Chinese fortune-telling world call me Master Fifth, hehe.
[May]: Oh, right, Master, I gave the armor you made to my grandpa. He's so happy because he can fly without internal energy. He's been showing it off to a bunch of old men in the ancient martial arts world every day.
Ying Zijin: "..."
She lowered her gaze, her eyelashes drooping.
Unfortunately, once the body reaches its limit, neither ancient martial arts nor alchemical elixirs can extend lifespan.
Fifth River is, and so is Feng Xiu.
The moment Lu Yuan uttered those words, the entire living room fell silent.
Su Wen's expression changed drastically: "What?"
Hilo froze, looking up in disbelief: "B-Big Brother?"
How could Lu Yuan know about this?
Lu Yuan didn't speak, but his fingers tapped lightly on the table.
But all this silence made Hilo feel as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him, and his nerves were on the verge of collapse.
"Big brother, I didn't do it!" Shilo cried out in panic. "I didn't want her to die! I just mentioned it to my teacher, I don't know anything else!"
She studied incognito at the Sage's Institute for over twenty years, while Sinai had already made a name for herself at the institute when she was just a teenager.
Hilo was just a little unwilling.
But who knew that the people sent by the tower were going to kill Sinai?
"Smack!"
A crisp sound.
Hilo was slapped, and his face instantly became bruised and swollen.
Suwen did not hold back.
Her fingers were trembling with anger: "She's your biological sister, born of the same mother!"
"My own sister?" Shiloh fell to the ground and suddenly sneered, "See, you only care about her, have you ever cared about me?"
"As long as she plays the victim for you, you'll give her anything she wants!"
When Sina was little, she could act spoiled by Suwen and Luyuan, but she had to study day after day at the Sage's Academy.
“You were taken away by the steward of the Sage’s Academy when you were little.” Lu Yuan’s brows were calm. “Su Su and I went to see you several times, but we were turned away each time, told that you needed to focus on your studies.”
"Now you're helping the Sage's Institute against the main family, and you're blaming us for not having any family affection for you?"
"As for your claim that Xiao Xina is trying to gain sympathy for me and A Yuan?" Su Wen said coldly, "I wish she were a little more gentle, that she would cry when she's in pain, and that she would come to us to complain when she's been bullied, but she doesn't do any of those things!"
Sinai has always been cold-hearted and keeps everything to herself.
It's become much more lively after shrinking this time.
"So, the ones chasing you are also subordinates of the Sage's Tower?" Suwen turned her head, her voice trembling.
Lu Yuan nodded: "I didn't know who it was before, but now that she has confessed, it is undoubtedly the Sage's Tower."
The guards trained by the Sage's Tower are stronger than the four major knightly orders.
Naturally, they far surpassed the Leunger family's secret guards.
“It’s the Sage’s Tower.” Ying Zijing poured a glass of water and handed it to Lu Yuan. “Yesterday, they followed her wishes and tried to cripple my hands and legs.”
Lu Yuan and Su Wen were unaware of this matter.
Upon hearing this, even the most composed men became extremely angry.
They could tolerate most things, but when it happened to Ying Zijing, they couldn't tolerate it at all.
"Drag him away," Lu Yuan said coldly. "Punish him ten times more severely than the family rules. He's not allowed to die."
The butler immediately replied, "Yes!"
Hilo's face was deathly pale, and her clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
If she's not allowed to die, wouldn't that be making her wish she were dead?
Just as the butler was about to order the guards to come, he turned around and was so startled that he almost dropped his phone. He immediately stood up straight: "Master Hermit!"
“Mr. Xiu.” Lu Yuan looked up, stood up, and said respectfully, “You’ve arrived.”
"No, no, no, you don't need to." Xiu choked. "I should call your daughter 'Big Brother'."
Lu Yuan: "...???"
Ying Zijing looked at his orange hair and commented, "You are as dazzling as the sun today."
“That’s right.” Xiu touched his hair. “Yan recommended it to me, and I think it looks pretty good too.”
Ling Mianxi, who followed them in, was very well-behaved: "Hello, Uncle."
Qin Lingyu and Yu Xuesheng also called out, both calling him "Uncle".
Lu Yuan: "..."
He suspected that there was something wrong with his memory and that it was beyond repair.
The butler, however, remained as calm as Suwen: "Master, we have several sages living in our house. Miss Qin and Miss Ling are my mahjong partners."
Shiloh was completely stunned.
Suddenly, she screamed hysterically, yelling, "It's not real! This isn't real!"
She was used as a pawn by the sage, while Ying Zijin and the sage were like brothers?!
How is that possible?
Why, and on what basis?
"No—no!" Hilo struggled. "I'm going to tell the Queen, and I'm going to tell Lord Tower to kill you!"
But she no longer had a chance to speak.
Yunshan used his internal energy to seal her speech acupoint, and the arriving guards dragged Xiluo away.
Xiu knew he couldn't disturb the family of three, so he went upstairs with Ling Mianxi and the others.
Only family members remained in the living room.
"Master," the butler could no longer hold back, his voice choked with emotion, "it's so good that you're back."
"Yes, I'm back." Lu Yuan's expression softened. "It's my great fortune to see you all again."
He removed his mask, revealing his entire face.
A hideous scar ran from the corner of the man's right eye to his neck, its edges bared and menacing.
But the scar did not diminish his handsomeness; on the contrary, it made him appear even more dignified.
Suwen's hand trembled, and tears fell again.
Lu Yuan was unusually flustered: "It looks terrible. Don't look at it anymore. I'd better put on the mask."
“No need!” Suwen grabbed his hand, smiling through her tears, “This is a symbol of your manhood.”
“Susu, you are still so young, but I—” Lu Yuan’s voice was hoarse, “I am already old.”
His temples had turned a few grays, and wrinkles had appeared at the corners of his eyes.
"So what?" Suwen just smiled, wiping away her tears. "People will always grow old, and you're not old at all. I still like you very much."
The butler remembered the most important thing: "Master, how did you get back? The First Madam thought you were gone."
“I survived the ambush; another of my personal bodyguards impersonated me and died in my place,” Lu Yuan said. “But I was also seriously injured and nearly died.”
“But I haven’t been able to come back for the past twenty years, not only because I was seriously injured, but also because my hippocampus was damaged and I lost all my memories.”
The hippocampus is an important part of the human brain, responsible for storing long-term memories.
Fu Yunshen turned his head and slowly said, "Li Xini found my uncle in a small town in southern China. My uncle was rescued by a fisherman's family and has been fishing with them for many years."
“Yes.” Lu Yuan glanced at Fu Yunshen, paused, and said, “I always thought I was a fisherman. Recently, my health deteriorated drastically, and I was on the verge of death, until someone found me and used medical equipment to awaken my memory.”
This was also something Ying Zijin deduced.
She had already suspected that Lu Yuan might have become a vegetable or lost his memory.
Therefore, when IBI was searching for people across the country, they also specially prepared memory awakening devices for the World City.
“Then I learned that Yao Yao was running for patriarch, and that the Sage’s Academy must be plotting something.” Lu Yuan added, “After I regained some strength, I immediately returned to the City of the World.”
Ying Zijing chuckled: "Dad, it's actually fine if you don't come."
“How could I not come?” Lu Yuan smiled. “You are my daughter. Even if you can stand on your own now, I still have to come.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed violently again.
This time he coughed up blood.
The butler's expression changed: "Patriarch!"
"Let's rest first." Su Wen's expression also changed, and she quickly helped Lu Yuan up. "Yao Yao is an ancient doctor. Listen to her. It's not too late to talk about it after you've recovered."
“Okay.” Lu Yuan didn’t refuse. He drank another glass of water that Ying Zijing handed him, and squeezed Su Wen’s hand. “Let’s go upstairs.”
**
On the other side.
Yao Guang and the tower returned to the headquarters.
Hearing the noise, Zhou Yan opened his eyes: "You're back?"
"You still don't know what happened, do you?" Ta shrugged. "Lu Yuan is actually not dead."
Zhou Yan's expression remained unchanged: "If he's not dead, then he's not dead."
“Indeed.” Tower turned his head and smiled. “Zhouyan, prepare for action.”
"It's time to welcome back, sir."
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.
"Whoosh—"
Dark clouds suddenly loomed over the city from the horizon!
Only a few hours left! Babies, please vote and help Ying Huang get into the top three!
The main story will conclude next month!
