Warren's Rise and Fall

Chapter 51: Being under house arrest by the Rui family

Wang Lunwo followed Xiaolian all the way to a secluded guest room.

"Young Master Wang, you can practice here with peace of mind. It's okay if you have a breakthrough in realm. This place is relatively far from the main room and the hall. And I heard from Miss that Young Master Wang is in the small stage of breaking through the Blood Refining Realm, so I think there will be no problem."

"Thank you, Miss Xiaolian. This place is indeed very suitable for my cultivation." Wang Lunwo was not restrained either.

"You are welcome, Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang brought back news about the Second Young Master from White Eagle City. He is a benefactor to Miss. This arrangement is reasonable in Miss's eyes. I will tell the other servants later to try not to disturb you. After Mr. Wang finishes his training, he can stay here for a while, or ask other servants to let me know."

"Miss Xiaolian has thought of it very carefully. I will practice here with peace of mind."

"Young Master Wang, you can practice here. I will take my leave first. The young lady may call me later." After saying that, the maid Xiaolian left the room.

As soon as the maid Xiaolian left, Wang Lunwo immediately sat cross-legged and took out the Xiao Huan Dan, intending to start practicing immediately. This Xiao Huan Dan not only has the effect of healing, but if there is no injury, it can strengthen the body and increase the upper limit of physical practice. Although it is not much, it is better than nothing.

Wang Lunwo immediately swallowed a small Huandan and began to practice the Blood Refining Technique, "Use blood to guide Qi, use Qi to control blood, integrate them, penetrate the whole body, cleanse the five internal organs inside, and wash the skin and flesh outside." As the Blood Refining Technique was practiced, two clear blood lines appeared on Wang Lunwo's body, and the medicinal effect of the Small Huandan was also being rapidly absorbed. With the help of the practice, the medicinal effect of the Small Huandan was almost completely absorbed.

Wang Lunwo felt that his fatigue had completely dissipated. Although he had rested for a night in the inn, the effect of the Xiao Huan Dan was completely different from the effect of his rest. Not only did his fatigue disappear, but his body was also strengthened. The thinner blood line that had grown out of the two blood lines had now become wider, which was a manifestation of the increase in strength in the middle stage of the Blood Refining Realm. Feeling the changes in his body, Wang Lunwo took another Xiao Huan Dan and put it in his mouth without saying a word, and then continued to practice the Blood Refining Technique.

In the Rui family mansion, in the room of the head of the family, Rui Jingqing, Rui Leier was crying to her father.

"Father, my brother died in the battle to defend White Eagle City." Rui Leier sobbed softly.

"Are you saying that Rui Jin has died in the battle of White Eagle City? Rui Lei'er, do you know what you are talking about? Although White Eagle City is the first human fortress in the northwest of Central Shenzhou and has been dealing with monsters for many years, it has always resisted them well. How could Rui Jin suddenly die? Are you hiding something from me?" The head of the family, Rui Jingqing, was a little shocked, but soon began to analyze calmly.

"Father, I dare not hide anything. It was a soldier from White Eagle City who came to Gengxin City and found me. He then told me that White Eagle City was breached by monsters and that brother died in the battle with the monsters. Brother died on the battlefield. He is not a reckless and spoiled young man." Rui Lei'er felt a little indignant.

"It seems that you are still a little bit upset about what happened in the past. It's okay. Your father will not argue with you. You said that someone came to report the information. Where is this person now?"

"I have arranged for the visitor to stay in the guest room and given him some training resources. He should be training now."

"You are so foolish. You blindly gave the other party some cultivation resources without fully confirming the truth of the matter. Aren't you afraid that the other party came to our Rui family to cheat us of cultivation resources? You believed him when he said he was from White Eagle City. I really don't know what to say to you. Since he is still in Rui Mansion, let the servants call him over. I will personally ask him to see if what he said is true."

"Father, why do you look down on me so much? I am sure that man is telling the truth. He is in the guest room now anyway. When he comes over, I will ask him in person. Then I will know that I have not been fooled. I am looking forward to the expression on your face then." Rui Lei'er was not to be outdone.

So Rui Lei'er asked Xiaolian to call Wang Lunwo. The father and daughter seemed to be angry with each other in the room, without saying a word, just waiting for Wang Lunwo to announce the answer.

In the guest room, Wang Lunwo was absorbing the last small Huandan. The previous two small Huandan had stabilized Wang Lunwo's strength in the middle stage of the Blood Refining Realm. After digesting this small Huandan, Wang Lunwo felt that his strength in the middle stage of the Blood Refining Realm would definitely go further. It was not impossible for him to reach the full strength of the middle stage of the Blood Refining Realm. When the time came, he would absorb the blood essence of the monster, and then he would steadily enter the late stage of the Blood Refining Realm. Wang Lunwo thought so in his heart, and could not help but silently practice the Blood Refining Art again.

At this time, Xiaolian had already reached the door of the guest room. Although she had no cultivation, she could sense that Wang Lunwo in the guest room was practicing at this critical moment. She did not knock on the door immediately, but stood at the door and waited for a while before slowly raising her hand to knock on the door. "Master Wang, Master Wang, are you there?"

Wang Lunwo had just finished absorbing the last Xiao Huan Dan in the guest room, and he didn't think much when he heard Xiao Lian's voice. "Miss Xiao Lian, what's the matter? I'm practicing and may break through in a while. If there's nothing important, please don't disturb me, Miss Xiao Lian."

"Master Wang, after the second young lady reported the matter to the head of the family, the head of the family learned that Master Wang is still in the Rui family, so he wants to meet Master Wang in person."

What does Rui Jingqing, the head of the Rui family, mean? After Rui Leier told him the news that White Eagle City was breached, he should have immediately informed the mayor of Gengxin City to make early plans, evacuate those who need to be evacuated, defend those who need to be defended, so as to prevent the people in the city from being slaughtered, and prevent the soldiers from suffering heavy casualties without any preparation. I really don't know what the head of the Rui family is up to. Forget it, I will go and meet the head of the Rui family. It is a blessing, not a disaster, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.

After thinking about it, Wang Lunwo stood up. "Miss Xiaolian, wait a moment. I will go with you to see the head of the family immediately." Wang Lunwo picked up the monster's blood on the ground and put it firmly in his pocket.

Wang Lunwo followed Xiaolian to the hall of Rui's family. At this time, the head of the Rui family, Rui Jingqing, and the second daughter, Rui Lei'er, had already moved to the hall. There was also a woman sitting in the hall. From the look and expression between her eyebrows, Wang Lunwo estimated that this was the mother of Centurion Rui Jin. After all, the look between her eyebrows could not be faked, and the slightly anxious expression on her face was not pretended.

"Are you the soldier from White Eagle City?" Rui Jingqing wanted to take the initiative and give Wang Lunwo a warning so that he would tell what he thought was the truth.

"I am indeed a soldier from White Eagle City. White Eagle City has been breached by monsters, but I am not a deserter. I escaped with the hopes of the soldiers who died in White Eagle City. The news of the breach of White Eagle City needs to be spread to other cities so that humans can make early plans. And I am not the only soldier or civilian like me who delivers the news." Wang Lunwo was neither humble nor arrogant.

Rui Jingqing's suspicions were reduced after hearing Wang Lunwo's words, but as the head of a family, he naturally had to be cautious when facing such a sudden stranger. "You mean that White Eagle City has been breached, and my son Rui Jin has died in the beast tide. But what I heard is that in the beast tide attacks over the years, the highest combat power of the monsters is only at the perfect bone forging realm, and my son Rui Jin was already at the early stage of the bone forging realm when he left home. Even if he was defeated by the monsters, he would have no problem protecting himself. Moreover, if it was just a perfect bone forging realm monster, it would be impossible to break through White Eagle City. The city lord of White Eagle City is at least at the four pillars realm." Rui Jingqing expressed his doubts.

"I dare not deceive the Lord of the Rui family. This beast tide is of great magnitude. Among the monster group on the opposite side, there are not only three monster generals at the Four Pillars Realm who defeated the three deputy city lords of White Eagle City one by one, but also two giant monsters with extraordinary strength who can speak human language and are stuck in the air. The Lord of Cloud Eagle City claimed that he had broken through the body refining stage and reached the Qi Ji Realm, but he could not even withstand three moves in front of a giant monster on the opposite side. The monster on the opposite side injured the Lord of Cloud Eagle City with one blow, and killed him with the second blow. I was at the scene at the time and saw everything with my own eyes. I also ask the Lord of the Rui family to immediately pass this news to the Lord of Gengxin City, so that the Lord can make plans early, whether to defend Gengxin City or retreat to other human cities. If they insist on defending, they should immediately evacuate the civilians who have no combat effectiveness and let the army prepare for war immediately. If they retreat to other human cities, they should also set off now." Wang Lunwo looked serious.

Rui Jingqing was shocked and suspicious after hearing what Wang Lunwo said. He was shocked because if what the young man said was true, then Gengxin City would definitely not be able to defend itself under the impact of such a powerful beast tide, and his Rui family would also go with the flow. He was suspicious because if what the little guy said was false, then how did he know that the monster on the opposite side would stay in the air after reaching a certain level, and how did he know about the Qi realm after the body refining period? You know, even he only knew the five realms corresponding to the body refining period under the teachings of his ancestor, namely the Blood Refining Realm, Bone Tempering Realm, Four Pillars Realm, Dragon Spine Realm, and Mingtai Realm. Finally, one must break through the Mingtai Realm to enter the Qi realm. His ancestor was in seclusion to break through the Qi realm, and the young man in front of him could actually tell it in one word. I'm afraid what he said doesn't sound like a lie.

Even though Rui Jingqing had believed most of it, he had to be cautious as he had been the head of the family for many years. If the guy on the other side was lying, and he foolishly went to tell the mayor of Gengxin City about it, it would not only make him a laughing stock, but the troops of Gengxin City had already been mobilized and the people had been evacuated. If it was false, the mayor of Gengxin City would definitely punish him, and his Rui family would probably be suppressed. If the guy on the other side was telling the truth, he had to be more cautious. The monster on the other side was too strong, and before he reported it to the mayor, he would probably have to let some of the elite of the Rui family leave Gengxin City and leave a fire for the Rui family.

Rui Jingqing was thinking a lot but couldn't come up with an accurate answer, so he could only say awkwardly, "Come on, send this young man to the guest room to rest first. Remember to have our servants around him so that we can know what he needs first."

Wang Lunwo was a little unhappy. What kind of person is the Patriarch of the Rui Family? He said he would take good care of me, but wouldn't this just put me under house arrest? Did he really think I was an ignorant young man? Although he was unhappy, Wang Lunwo knew that he needed to follow the Patriarch of the Rui Family's wishes. Otherwise, if he didn't inform the city lord, there would be no point in running all the way to deliver the message. So he answered. "I will follow the host's wishes and follow the arrangements of the Patriarch."

Just as Wang Lunwo was about to leave the hall, the woman hurriedly stood up and called him, "My dear brother, are you telling the truth? White Eagle City was breached, and my son Ruijin also died in the battle?"

"I guess the lady must be Centurion Ruijin's mother. Please accept my condolences. Although I didn't see Centurion Ruijin die with my own eyes, he couldn't stand the serious injury at that time. He was worried that he would drag us down, so he went to face the monster alone. I owe Centurion Ruijin a favor. Centurion Ruijin also hoped that we could pass on the news of the monster, so Centurion Ruijin died for a good reason. I also delivered the message he asked me to convey. He died on the battlefield, not as a reckless and ignorant nobleman."

After hearing Wang Lunwo's words, the lady recalled the day when Rui Jin ran away in anger, and now she and her son are separated by life and death, and she couldn't help crying. "Thank you, brother, for letting me know that my son has grown up, and is no longer the ignorant child he used to be, but a hero who died on the battlefield." The lady said as tears welled up in her eyes.

Wang Lunwo could not stand this touching scene. He was afraid that he would be affected by his wife's emotions and remind himself of the soldiers who died in White Eagle City at that time, the centurions, the deputy city lords, and the city lord. He escaped with their hopes. The burden on his shoulders was heavy, so in order to avoid his wife crying here, he hurriedly said goodbye.

"Xiao Lian, quickly lead the way for that little brother." Rui Jingqing ordered.

"Father, don't you still believe that everything Wang Lunwo said is true?" Rui Lei'er almost shouted with resentment and anger in her heart.

"Lei'er, I know that you and your mother are still brooding over what happened back then. You and Jin'er haven't seen each other for many years. Now the news you got is the worst. Naturally, you can't control your emotions. Your father is not angry, and I don't blame you. However, this is a serious matter. Although your father believes most of it, he dare not make a decision on his own. Let me report to the ancestor and make a decision. Now let's take this man first. What was his name?"

"Wang Lunwo."

"Let's put Mr. Wang Lunwo under house arrest now. This is the best option. You have to believe in your father's vision over the years." Rui Jingqing seemed to have his own plans.

"Okay, then I'll help you go back to your room to rest." After saying that, Rui Leier helped her mother out of the hall.

"It's another turbulent time, and the storm is about to come." Rui Jingqing said to himself. At this moment, no one knew what he was thinking.
