When my cultivation is recovering, the sect comes to persuade me to quit? I agree!

Lu Chen lowered his eyes and slowly uttered three words.

"Too much leads to confusion."

Mengyu blinked in confusion, constantly thinking about Lu Chen's words.

The literal understanding is that greed will lead to doubt.

But is this what the senior brother told me?

Mengyu always felt that there was other meaning in these words.

As dinner time approached, the restaurant gradually became noisy.

Mengyu didn't ask any more questions and quietly kept Lu Chen's words in mind.

Two days later.

Lu Chen and Meng Yu arrived at Blacksmith Town.

The village has changed its appearance and the sycamore tree is no longer there.

Arriving at the east of the village, Lu Chen stopped.

I hadn't been home for many years and thought the house had already fallen into disrepair.

Unexpectedly, the door was cleaned up and there was no sense of vicissitudes at all.

"Big Brother, is this your home?"

Mengyu looked at the house in front of her, then turned to look at Lu Chen, her words full of disbelief.

Lu Chen nodded slightly.

"Correct."

As soon as the words came out, a mother-in-law came towards them.

"You two, who are you looking for?"

"Mother-in-law, is this family's surname Lu?"

Grandma took a step forward with her cane, "Yes, this is the home of Mr. Lu, the great man from Blacksmith Town."

Mr. Lu?

Lu Chen was stunned.

A hundred years have passed since I last left home.

After hundreds of years of ups and downs, that young and naive little boy has become known as the great philanthropist Lu.

When I think about it, I feel really emotional.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, the mother-in-law smiled again on her wrinkled face, and her words were full of pride.

"Are you foreigners?"

"Mr. Lu, have you ever heard of Lu Chen? He is a hero who stands tall and proud."

"Hundreds of years ago, Mr. Lu guarded the demon cave with his own strength, benefiting thousands of people."

"Everyone in our village is proud of Mr. Lu!"

As she spoke, the mother-in-law bowed towards the house.

Lu Chen smiled embarrassedly.

"Then, Grandma, do you know what Mr. Lu looks like?"

"Mr. Lu is three meters tall. He can turn his hand to make clouds and his other hand to make rain. With a wave of his hand, bad guys can be wiped out."

My mother-in-law looked excited.

One hand gestured hard.

If the other hand didn't have to use a crutch, I would probably be able to use both hands.

Lu Chen was amused at once.

Mengyu on the opposite side was simply stunned.

The eldest brother... smiled, and that smile was as warm as the spring breeze.

"Mother-in-law, can we go in and take a look?"

Mengyu asked softly.

The mother-in-law nodded and then began to give instructions again.

"Sure, but you have to be careful not to damage the things inside."

“These are to be left for future generations to see.”

Lu Chen and Meng Yu agreed at the same time.

Under the gaze of the mother-in-law, the two of them walked in together.

The furnishings in the courtyard were exactly the same as when he left.

There are four rooms in the north and a thatched house on the east side, which was where my mother used to cook.

There is a well next to the thatched house, where my sister often washes clothes.

Lu Chen looked a little dazed.

It seems like I can see the situation back then.

My father went out to chop wood, my mother cooked in the thatched hut, and my sister washed the clothes and helped to hang them on the rope to dry.

There was a breeze and laughter everywhere.

Mengyu stood behind Lu Chen and never said a word.

Meng Yu smiled only when she knew that Lu Chen had come to his senses.

"Brother, what do you think the people in the village would think if they knew you were Lu Chen?"

In everyone's memory, Mr. Lu should be an old man with gray hair and high moral character, right?

No matter what, it couldn't be the handsome young man in front of him.

"Stop laughing at me. Come in and I'll cook for you."

"I'm here to help."

evening.

Smoke rose from the thatched hut.

Soon, the aroma of rice filled the air.

Sitting at the wooden table, Mengyu also felt a little unreal.

I even have some extravagant hopes in my heart.

If I could always be with my brother and live this ordinary life, wouldn’t that be a kind of happiness?

As this thought flashed through her mind, Mengyu quickly lowered her head, trying to hide the shyness on her cheek.

Lu Chen on the opposite side was still thinking about the past.

"Both my mother and father lived to a ripe old age, passing away in their 90s."

"My sister has lived to be over 70 and has many children and grandchildren."

"After my sister got married, she never saw me until she died. This is always a pity."

"Coming back this time to sweep their graves is like fulfilling my wish."

As he spoke, Lu Chen let out a long sigh.

"Brother, after sweeping the tomb tomorrow, are you going to leave?"

There was tension in Mengyu's voice.

Lu Chen hummed.

"After tomorrow, you will return to Xuanling Holy Sect. It's not good to be outside all the time."

Lu Chen didn't say much, but Mengyu felt Lu Chen's concern for her.

Leaving the mountain without permission and not reporting the news of Lu Chen were already severely punished according to the sect rules.

If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain myself to the sect leader.

However, Mengyu still felt reluctant to leave.

Meng Yu lowered her head secretly and did not respond to Lu Chen's words.

the next day.

After breakfast, Lu Chen specially prepared some food and bought two pots of osmanthus wine at the wine shop.

Arriving at the hillside at the entrance of the village, Lu Chen slowly stopped.

The tombstones of his family members had been cleaned up by the villagers, and Lu Chen burned incense and kowtowed.

Raising his hand to touch the words on the tombstone, Lu Chen remained silent.

This time.

This should be the last time I come back!

Everything changes in the world in a flash.

After all, I was not able to stay out of it.

Mengyu stood beside Lu Chen with a serious expression.

There is both respect for the deceased and the heaviness of the impending separation in my heart.

After an incense stick of time, Lu Chen turned around.

"Let's go, they're already here."

"Who?"

Mengyu's voice was full of confusion.

Following Lu Chen's gaze, he suddenly looked shocked.

"Brother, how do you know..."

Before she could finish her words, Mengyu instinctively stood in front of Lu Chen.

"I forgot what I told you before. You were so impulsive."

Lu Chen looked calm and indifferent.

Mengyu's gaze was always fixed on a few people not far away.

The middle-aged man in the lead was wearing a long robe.

Although the sword had not been unsheathed, the hilt was already tightly grasped by the man.

Behind the man, several young men in white clothes moved in unison.

On the left chest of those people's clothes, there was a word "Xuan" embroidered with gold thread.

Xu Qingshan, the second elder of Xuanling Holy Sect, finally found this place.

Meng Yu frowned slightly, with worry in her eyes.

"Senior Brother has no connection with Xuanling Holy Sect anymore. I'm afraid the Second Elder's coming here this time is not for good reasons."

"Brother, rest assured. Even if we are fellow disciples, I will protect you."

As he was speaking, there was a "clang" sound.

The sword in Mengyu's hand was unsheathed in an instant!

All the disciples of Xuanling Holy Sect were shocked and looked at Xu Qingshan.

Xu Qingshan took a step forward, his eyes falling on Lu Chen's face.

"Mengyu, are you going to... kill your fellow disciples?"
