Seekers Without Bounds

Lu Zhaohui didn't sleep well last night. He was thinking, if Shi Xunfei went to the Temple of the Divine Tree, where could he go?

The Double Death Tomb of Washi Zhai has been closed after being opened for a short period of time.

The small courtyard where I live now is like a prison. There is no sense of home at all.

It's ridiculous to think that the grandson of a duke who lives a life of luxury is like a homeless person.

It was almost dawn, and light was filtering in through the window. Since Shi Xunfei was going to the Temple of the Sacred Tree, why couldn't I go too?

Lu Zhaohui figured out something that had been bothering him and laughed wildly in the room.

After a while, they arrived in front of the Duke's Mansion.

Ye Chenzi next to him also did not sleep well that night. The Wind Whispering Warrior who was guarding him shouted "Master" in the middle of the night.

I thought the killer of Yuqi was about to show up, so I hurried over to check.

After waiting for a long time, it turned out that he was dreaming. It was almost dawn and he was just about to take a nap.

There was a burst of wild laughter in Lu Zhaohui's room. He quickly got up to check, but nothing happened.

Oh, young people nowadays are really a worry.

"Lin Suwei, please tell Madam Hou that I have something important to discuss with you."

If you want to see your aunt, you must go through Lin Suwei.

"Madam Hou is very busy and has no time to see you." Lin Suwei glanced at Lu Zhaohui and refused directly.

"Let's report it. It's about the title." Lu Zhaohui understood how to meet his aunt.

"Okay, I'm only responsible for reporting. Don't hold too high hopes of meeting you or not." Lin Suwei didn't dare to neglect it after hearing this.

After a while, the message came. "Madam, please come in."

Lu Zhaohui smiled lightly and walked into the inner palace.

The elegant dress matches the oval face of a beautiful young woman.

The graceful and plump figure and the beauty of a mature woman are displayed vividly.

"Lu Zhaohui has met Madam Hou. I haven't seen her for two years. She is getting younger and more beautiful."

Lu Zhaohui doesn't look like a teenager at all, he looks more like his middle-aged father.

"You don't need to praise me. I know I'm old. From now on, the world belongs to you young people. It's just the afterglow of the sunset."

Mrs. Hou didn't look at Lu Zhaohui, but continued writing calligraphy.

"Zhao Hui, come and see how my handwriting looks like."

"What Madam Hou wrote must be treasures. I like them very much. Can you give them to me as gifts?" Lu Zhaohui said.

At this time, Madam Hou finally looked up at Lu Zhaohui and said:

"After your training in the army of Wangcheng, you have become much more mature and more like your father. You have become a little adult. Tell me, what do you want to see me about today?"

"My father is dead, and I want to give up my title. I hope my aunt can give me a letter of recommendation to go to the Temple of the Divine Tree."

Lu Zhaohui went straight to the point and also changed the address.

"Going to the Temple of the Sacred Tree? Do you know that your grandfather's illness is difficult to recover from?

If he passed away, you, as the only male in the family, went to the Temple of the Sacred Tree.

You have to stay for at least three years. By then, I'm afraid you won't be able to become a duke anymore."

Mrs. Hou finally stopped writing. Lu Zhaohui talked about what she cared about most.

“My last name is Lu, my grandfather’s last name is Liu, and now my father is gone, so my aunt is the one who takes care of our family.

How could the Dukedom fall to me? You know me well. First of all, I have no talent. And I am also a low-class illegitimate child of a foreign race.

Let’s not talk about whether this position can be given to me. If it is given to me, it will be a mistake for the country and the people. You are the one who deserves the title.”

Lu Zhaohui looked at the Marquis's wife calmly. The faces of the aunt and nephew looked basically the same.

Mrs. Hou's eyes were shining brightly, as if she could see through Lu Zhaohui's soul.

"Hahaha, you're much more interesting than my good-for-nothing brother. Why didn't I notice it before?"

Mrs. Hou looked very beautiful when she smiled, but Lu Zhaohui knew that she would be like this whenever she wanted to kill someone.

"My aunt is so busy that she doesn't have time to talk to a child like me," said Lu Zhaohui.

"Really? Since I never talk to you, how can you let me believe that what you just said is your true feelings?"

Mrs. Hou's face turned cold, and the temperature in the whole room was dropping!

"To me, the Cotton City is just a tomb covered with flowers. The City of Flowers? Ridiculous!

From the time I was born till now, I have never thought that the flowers here are beautiful. They are better anywhere than here. "

Lu Zhaohui had a fearless look on his face. He really hated Miandu because it did not give him even a trace of good memories.

"It's quite interesting. The place that everyone longs for is so terrible here. But what you said is the truth. Hahahaha!"

As if Lu Zhaohui had touched her funny spot, Madam Hou's face relaxed and she laughed even louder than before.

"Okay, don't worry about the recommendation letter. After all, you are my only nephew. Even if I don't have it, no one can stop you from going to the Sacred Tree Temple." The Marquis's wife said happily.

"Aunt, I will get in based on my own strength. I will participate in the temple election next year. The letter of recommendation is for my friend Shi Xunfei." Lu Zhaohui changed the subject.

"That country boy who came to Miandu with you? Interesting. You actually came to me for him."

Madam Hou stared at Lu Zhaohui intently. It was not just a normal look, but a direct locking of her aura.

If she felt that Lu Zhaohui was playing tricks on her, then today would be the day Lu Zhaohui died.

The slender nails scratched across Lu Zhaohui's neck.

"Why does he have to go back to the Temple of the Divine Tree?"

"Because he is just like me. I will die in Mian City, and he will die if he doesn't return to the Temple of the Divine Tree."

Lu Zhaohui dispersed all the protective energy. It was easier for Madam Hou to kill him now than to crush an ant.

"Very good. My Liu family's offspring is much better than your father's. I can write his recommendation letter, and I can also write yours. And you must return to Miandu in three years to witness me ascend to the throne of Duke."

Mrs. Hou finally agreed to Lu Zhaohui's request and put the last stroke of the big character into writing.

"Nephew would like to thank auntie very much." Lu Zhaohui bowed deeply.

"This calligraphy is a gift for you. You must not lose it." After writing it, Mrs. Hou picked it up and handed it to Lu Zhaohui.

"Here, I will definitely keep it as a treasure." Lu Zhaohui rolled it up carefully.

Four-character cursive script: self-knowledge.

"Okay, you can go now." Lu Zhaohui left the room.

My back was soaked with cold sweat because I was almost killed by my aunt.

"Lin Suwei, I'll give you one day to find out everything about Shi Xunfei from childhood to adulthood. Remember, everything, everything!"

The Marquis's wife held the note from yesterday in her hand, and when she saw her nephew again, she actually asked for his recommendation letter.

Just show your cards in front of me. Who the hell is Shi Xunfei?

Since his aunt had agreed to his request, Lu Zhaohui knew that everything was settled.

The Marquis' wife is ruthless and cruel, but her words are always binding.

Now go to Aunt Xue with Shi Xunfei to arrange things for after we leave.

Especially Lu Xiaofan, he needs to be encouraged well. If he really can't take on the important role, I will have to replace him.

The group of younger brothers behind Yao Bulin were completely conquered by Lu Zhaohui's methods.

Yao Bulin worked hard for two years, but his business was uprooted in just a few days.

The casino that had been burned down was rebuilt, and the winners were the kings and the losers were the bandits.

Those who originally followed Yao Bulin all went to Lu Xiaofan to express their loyalty.

Sitting on the top floor of the casino, Lu Xiaofan is now in high spirits, with a group of younger brothers following him.

And Lu Xiaoshuang was dressed even more gorgeously, and when she saw Lu Zhaohui coming, she stuck to him directly.

Shi Xunfei was standing on the roof of the casino, looking at the scenery of the last two floors of Cotton City, where luxury and desolation were intertwined among the flowers.

The sounds of carriages and horses, the hawkers’ cries, the children chasing and playing, the singers singing…all these sounds come together to form the most authentic mortal world in Miandu.
