My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 42 The Ancestor Appears Again

The Lu clansmen roared, "Charge!"

"Hit it!!!"

Lu Yang closed his eyes and charged forward, carrying the hopes of his entire clan... The people behind him gripped their "weapons" tightly, waiting for the door to break down so they could rush out, capture the officials, and rescue the old man and the young master.

"What the hell?!"

When Gu Xingzhao returned with the note, what she saw was Lu Yang's enormous body charging towards her. Terrified, she kicked him, and as she raised her hand to protect her face, she threw out all the lightning bolts at the same time...

Before he could even touch the door, Lu Yang was knocked unconscious and collapsed to the ground with a "thud!"

The sudden turn of events startled everyone; they looked at each other in dismay and retreated in disarray…

"Second brother!" Lu Zhou strode forward to check.

Mrs. Xu turned pale and rushed to her husband's side, exclaiming, "How could this happen?!"

Not only did it scare the people inside, Gu Xingzhao herself was also frightened. She instinctively tried to block it, but what if she accidentally killed someone?
Feeling guilty, she quickly asked the system to check.

[Reporting to the host: The ward, Lu Yang, is in good physical condition; he has only fainted and is not in any life-threatening danger.]

Gu Xingzhao breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness he wasn't dead. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to explain it to the old man.

Looking at the group of people in the room, she was at her wit's end. Did they only know how to shout for violence when faced with trouble?
Is fighting and killing really useful?

So, with Lu Qing gone, these people have become completely stupid, not even half of them are of any use.

Gu Xingzhao didn't even dare to imagine what would have happened if he had come back a little later. He was afraid things would have gotten out of control, and the old man would probably be so angry when he got back that he would die.

What a bunch of incompetent teammates.

She was so angry that she slapped the note on Lu Yang's forehead!
The note slowly appeared, startling everyone in the room. Someone jumped up, pointing at the thing on Lu Yang's forehead, stammering, "This...this..."

That thing suddenly appeared right under their noses!
"This is a ghost!"

After confirming that his younger brother was alright, Lu Zhou slapped the man on the back of the head and scolded, "Nonsense! Look carefully!"

It is clearly the spirit of our ancestors manifesting themselves, how can you be so disrespectful?

The other clansmen stepped forward and saw that the note on Lu Yang's forehead read: "Grandpa and grandson Lu Qing are unharmed. You must not cause trouble."

Suddenly, someone's knees buckled, and they knelt down on the ground in front of the note on Lu Yang's forehead, kowtowing loudly with a "bang"!
Lu Zhou also knelt on the ground, saying, "We were really reckless today, please forgive us and do not blame us!"

People around and behind them followed suit, kneeling down one after another and knelt on the ground as if their heads were free.

"Bang!" "Bang!"... "Bang!"

Gu Xingzhao: "..." It's quite rhythmic.

Seeing the group of people kneeling before her again, yet offering no alms, she felt a pang of regret. She hadn't actually intended to frighten them.

Gu Xingzhao had no choice but to write another note, this time sticking it on Lu Zhou's forehead.

Lu Zhou shakily tore off the paper from his forehead. Upon seeing the words "It's alright" on the note, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Junior Lu Zhou thanks my ancestor for forgiveness."

When Lu Yang woke up in a daze, he saw a patch of white covering his forehead and everyone around him kneeling down. He thought they were mourning him, so he turned pale, rolled his eyes, and fainted again.

Are you so timid that you're stirring up trouble to ram the door?
Gu Xingzhao sighed and smiled wryly, thinking to himself, "This Lu Yang is really something."

Just then, Lu Qing called her name twice. Thinking that someone wanted to give her a gift, Gu Xingzhao was afraid that she would miss the meal, so she wrote a note, threw it down, left the boxed lunch in the room, and hurriedly left.

The members of the Lu clan helped each other to their feet, their legs still weak. Seeing Lu Yang still unconscious on the ground, no one blamed Gu Xingzhao for being too harsh. After all, he was their ancestor; even his punishments were acts of kindness!

With Lu Qing and Lu Xingyao absent, the eldest son, Lu Zhou, naturally received the gifts bestowed by the gods. He took out a box, pondered for a while, and then opened it, handling it with utmost care, afraid of damaging it.

Inside the box was food, still hot, and it looked and smelled delicious!

He breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, his ancestor hadn't been angry.

The people in the room stared wide-eyed when they saw the boxed lunch in Lu Zhou's hand. They slowly looked down at the box, and it was... a whole box of food!

It has meat, vegetables, and soup!
Their hands trembled with excitement as they held their lunchboxes. Some couldn't hold back their tears as they ate the delicious food, murmuring that they wanted to be a member of the Lu family again in their next life.

The Liu family members also received several boxed meals. They were extremely satisfied with the food. They secretly glanced at the young master a few times, afraid that he would discover their desire to be a member of the Lu family in their next life.

It's not that the Liu family is bad... Waaaaah, it's just that the Lu family's ancestors gave them too much!

Liu Xiangbai looked down at the boxed lunch in his hand, his hands clenched tightly, veins bulging, a sense of annoyance and fear rising in his heart. He then handed the boxed lunch to someone else.

He could maintain his resentment even when he was hungry, cold, and suffering. He was afraid that once he was well-fed, warmly dressed, and comfortable, he would forget his father's hatred.

His wife and daughters were still in the capital; he would remember the pain of separation and death.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiangbai tightened the red string on his wrist, constantly reminding himself to be mindful.

Shunyu, her eyes red and swollen, shoveled food into her mouth, glancing up every now and then at Lu Yang, who was still lying on the ground. She gripped her chopsticks tightly; her brother was heartless and ruthless, and she feared he would send people to hunt her down...

No, she had to survive, even if it was just for Caihe. One day, she would get all of this back!

...

When Gu Xingzhao arrived at the Yu residence, he saw several large offering tables set up at the entrance, covered with all kinds of delicious food, silks and satins, and exquisite jade and jewelry, which shimmered under the candlelight, densely filling the tables.

The key is the memorial tablet on the altar, with four bright characters: Lu Family Deity.

It truly dazzled her.

Incense was still burning on the altar, and the townspeople gathered around to watch the spectacle. They had never seen such a grand scene before, and there was much discussion about it.

Gu Xingzhao came at Lu Qing's behest, supposedly to collect the gifts Yu Heng had offered him, but looking at this scene, who would dare take them?

With so many people watching, if she takes anything now, the Lu family's divine intervention will be trending on social media tomorrow!

The man surnamed Yu wasn't trying to worship himself; he clearly wanted to make a big fuss about the Lu family's divine manifestation so that he and that Prince Su could profit from it.

She looked around, but didn't see Lu Qing or Lu Xingyao.

With so many treasures before her, yet she could only look but not take them, Gu Xingzhao was heartbroken and practically laughed in exasperation: "Lu Qing, this Yu fellow is too kind, offering me such sincere worship, you must thank him properly for me."

Lu Qing: "?"

Sensing the strangeness in his ancestor's tone, Lu Qing hurriedly brought his grandson to find out what was going on.

He thought Yu Heng had simply set up a small platform in the courtyard, but the courtyard was empty. He was puzzled, but then he heard a commotion outside the mansion.

Several large offering tables were filled with rare treasures, and the gate of the mansion was crowded with people. Lu Qing's vision went black, his steps faltered, and he almost knelt down...

Sorry for the late update. I've seen some low-rated comments from alt accounts these past few days, which affected my mindset and caused the delay. I apologize for keeping you all waiting. I'll be back on time tomorrow.

If you guys have a spare moment, could you please leave a 5-star review for me in the comments section? I'd like to try and salvage the low rating. Thank you all in advance!
