Rebirth of Jinxuan

According to the shopkeeper, the words "the Lu family has emerged" were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples. Qingfeng Town, and even several surrounding towns, were shaken by this sudden news. Wang Yiyao, the head of the Wang family, paced back and forth in his study with a furrowed brow, muttering to himself, "The Lu family... they really do exist..." Luo Tiancheng, the head of the Luo family, summoned the clan elders to discuss countermeasures; the atmosphere was heavy.

Upon hearing this news, Lu Jinxuan felt a mix of emotions. She understood better than anyone what the Lu family's emergence meant. It meant that Hang'er's true identity was about to be exposed to the world. She had originally thought that Hang'er's extraordinary power would attract fear and rejection, even being seen as a demon. But now, the Lu family's emergence had become his protection.

As evening fell, the sky was bathed in the golden hues of the setting sun. Old Qian packed up his medicine kit, preparing to go home. He was very comfortable staying here; Lu Jinxuan and Mo Chenfan treated him like family, making him feel a long-lost warmth.

"Mr. Qian, let me take you back," Mo Chenfan said.

"No need, no need, my grandson will be here to pick me up soon." Old Qian waved his hand with a smile.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a clear voice came from outside the door: "Grandpa, I'm here!"

Following the sound, a young man dressed in a blue robe strode in. The young man had delicate features and bright eyes; he was none other than Qian Feng, the grandson of Old Master Qian.

Just then, Lu Yuhang came out of the kitchen carrying a large food box. The food box was bigger than him and blocked his view. He was walking quickly, and before he knew it, he tripped on the threshold, leaned forward, and was about to fall.

"Watch out!" Qian Feng reacted quickly, rushing forward and catching Lu Yuhang and the teetering food box.

Their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still. Lu Yuhang stared blankly at the boy before him, a strange sense of familiarity welling up inside him. Qian Feng, on the other hand, was captivated by Lu Yuhang's clear, bright eyes, and for a moment, he forgot to speak.

"Hang'er, are you alright?" Upon seeing this, Lu Jinxuan quickly went forward to check on him.

Lu Yuhang shook his head, took the food box from Qian Feng, and said softly, "Thank you."

Seeing this, Old Qian smiled with satisfaction. "Feng'er, this is the son of Jinxuan that I mentioned to you, Hang'er."

"Hang'er, this is my grandson, Qian Feng."

Qian Feng looked at Lu Yuhang, a slight smile playing on his lips. "We... seem to have met somewhere before?"

Lu Yuhang blinked, and some blurry images flashed through his mind. "We met at the Martial Arts Hall."

Old Qian glanced at the two children, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He remembered that these two children didn't know each other before...

"Grandpa, let's go." Qian Feng turned his gaze away and said to Grandpa Qian.

"Alright, alright," Old Qian replied, following Qian Feng as they walked outside. At the door, Qian Feng suddenly stopped, turning back to look at Lu Yuhang, "Tomorrow...see you at the martial arts training ground on the outskirts of the Dark Night Forest."

Lu Yuhang was slightly taken aback, then nodded, "Okay."

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Lu Jinxuan suddenly had a premonition, as if something was about to happen...

After Mr. Qian and Qian Feng left, Lu Jinxuan walked to Lu Yuhang's side and gently ruffled his hair. "Hang'er, do you know Qian Feng?"

Lu Yuhang shook his head. "I've only seen him once, but... he feels very familiar." He tried hard to recall, but only fragmented pieces came to mind, like a thin fog obscuring his vision.

"Perhaps it's fate," Lu Jinxuan smiled, not delving into it further. With the emergence of the Lu family, many things have become unpredictable, and the only thing she can do now is to protect Hang'er.

After dinner, Lu Yuhang was preparing to practice breathing exercises when he suddenly heard a silvery laugh coming from outside the door.

"Brother Hang! Brother Hang!"

Two adorable little girls skipped in; they were Momo and Ayu, the daughters of two small families in town. They were about the same age as Lu Yuhang and loved to play with him. Both families were happy to see them together and tacitly approved of their relationship.

"Momo, Ayu, what brings you here?" Lu Jinxuan asked with a smile.

"Let's go play with Brother Hang!" Momo said in a clear voice, her big eyes blinking adorably.

"Brother Hang, let's go catch butterflies in the back mountain!" Ayu tugged at Lu Yuhang's sleeve, her face full of anticipation.

Lu Yuhang glanced at Lu Jinxuan, and seeing her nod, he followed the two little girls out.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu and Xiao Ba immediately followed, their short legs carrying them. These two little guys were Lu Yuhang's playmates and his protectors. They usually looked adorable, but could unleash astonishing power in crucial moments.

"Brother Hang, wait for us!" Momo and Ayu chased after Lu Yuhang, chatting about the interesting things that had happened recently. Lu Yuhang responded occasionally, a faint smile on his face.

Running to the backyard, Momo and Ayu's eyes lit up when they saw Xiao Wu and Xiao Ba. "Wow, it's Xiao Wu and Xiao Ba!"

The two little girls immediately pounced on them, each grabbing one of the small animals and beginning to ravage them wantonly. Xiao Wu and Xiao Ba let out aggrieved whimpers, but dared not resist, and could only let the two little girls do as they pleased.

Lu Yuhang shook his head helplessly as he watched this scene. These two little ones were always full of energy and could never sit still for a moment.

At this moment, Qian Feng reappeared at the entrance of the clinic. Seeing Lu Yuhang, he quickly walked over, "Hang'er, let's go to the martial arts training ground on the outskirts of the Dark Night Forest together tomorrow."

"A martial arts training ground?" Lu Yuhang asked, somewhat puzzled. "What would we be doing there?"

"Of course, it's to practice martial arts!" Qian Feng said matter-of-factly. "My grandfather said that the emergence of the Lu family will bring chaos to the world, and we must improve our strength to protect ourselves and our families."

Old Qian also came over. Hearing Qian Feng's words, he sighed, "Feng'er, the outer perimeter of the Dark Night Forest is fraught with danger, you..."

"Grandpa, don't worry, I'll find a few more friends to go with me." Qian Feng interrupted Grandpa Qian. He knew his grandfather was worried about his safety, but he had already made up his mind to become stronger.

Lu Yuhang thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll go with you." He had a vague feeling that there might be some secret hidden on the outskirts of the Dark Night Forest.

Lu Yuhang was being pulled around by Momo and Ayu, and it took him a while to break free. He looked sympathetically at the two little beasts who were being rubbed and mangled, then walked to Qian Feng's side and asked in a low voice, "What is this... Lu family you're talking about?"

Qian Feng glanced around to make sure no one was watching before saying mysteriously, "The Lu family is a very powerful family..."

The two little girls hugged Xiao Wu and Xiao Ba and started playing house, their chattering echoing in the yard.

"Xiao Wu, you'd better behave, or I'll marry you off to Xiao Ba!"

"No...!" Xiao Wu cried out in anguish.

Xiao Wu's wailing drew Lu Yuhang's attention. He shook his head helplessly; these two little ones were always being bullied by Momo and Ayu. He gently tugged at Momo, who was still engrossed in arranging a marriage for the little beast, "Momo, Ayu, Qian Feng and I have something to talk about. Can you two play by yourselves for a while?"

Momo and Ayu exchanged a glance, nodded somewhat reluctantly, and reluctantly let go of Xiao Wu and Xiao Ba. The two little ones, now free, immediately ran to Lu Yuhang's feet, rubbing their fluffy heads against his trouser leg, as if seeking comfort.

Lu Yuhang patted Xiao Wu and Xiao Ba reassuringly, then pulled Qian Feng to a corner of the yard and asked in a low voice, "What exactly is this Lu family you mentioned? Why does everyone seem so wary of them?"

Qian Feng glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention to them before speaking mysteriously, "The Lu family is said to be an ancient family that has been hidden away for hundreds of years, possessing power unimaginable to ordinary people. They have guarded a mysterious place for generations, where it is said to hide..."

Qian Feng suddenly stopped speaking, as if realizing he had let something slip. He quickly covered his mouth and looked around warily.

Lu Yuhang's curiosity grew even stronger. "What are you hiding? Tell me quickly!"

Qian Feng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't know. Grandpa didn't tell me. He just said that the emergence of the Lu family would inevitably cause a bloodbath, and that we should not get involved."

Lu Yuhang was about to ask another question when he heard Momo exclaim, "Brother Hang, look, what is this?"

Lu Yuhang and Qian Feng quickly turned around and saw that Momo was holding a crystal-clear blue stone, which was emitting a faint glow in the setting sun.

"What a beautiful stone!" Ayu also came over and curiously examined the stone in Momo's hand.

"This is what I just found on Xiao Wu," Momo said, presenting the stone to Lu Yuhang like a treasure. "Brother Hang, it's for you!"

Lu Yuhang took the stone, and it felt icy cold to the touch. A strange energy flowed into his body through his palm, making him shiver involuntarily.

“This stone…” Lu Yuhang looked at the blue stone in his hand and felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if the stone had some special connection with him.

Just then, Lu Jinxuan's voice came from inside the house, "Hang'er, it's time to eat."

"Coming, Mother!" Lu Yuhang responded, put the blue stone into his pocket, and pulled Qian Feng into the house.

However, what they didn't notice was that after they turned to leave, the once clear sky suddenly darkened, a gust of cold wind blew by, leaves fluttered in the courtyard, and two dark figures silently appeared behind Momo and Ayu...

"Hehehe, I found you..."
