Lu Juntian has eight younger siblings, including him, there are nine in total.

Among these nine people, only three broke through the third level of Qi refining at the age of ten and became disciples of the inner sect, and the remaining six were all assigned to the outer sect to manage the Lu family's shop.Among the three brothers and sisters who became disciples of the inner sect, the fourth younger sister married the Langya Yin family at the age of 17, so now there are only two people who are in charge of the inner sect, plus three people from the Lu family's side line, this generation of Lu family's Qi refining There are only five core characters.

In contrast, the disciples of the outer sect are quite large. Excluding the married women who are not qualified to re-enter the Lu family, the seats of the outer sect are far more than five times that of the inner sect, and most of the inner sect The seats are all children under the age of ten, and most of them will not meet the requirements of the inner sect, and will be classified as outer sect disciples after a few years.

As for the elders of the previous generation of the Lu family, they have lived in seclusion behind closed doors, and most of them are studying and retreating near the library or the treasure house. On the one hand, they are protecting the important resources of the Lu family, and on the other hand, they are also letting go of the power of the Lu family and concentrating on cultivating immortality. Strive to one day be able to advance to the Xiantian sect.

So in the morning meeting at the beginning of each month, the person with the highest seniority is Lu Qingyang's father, Lu Juntian. As the patriarch of this generation, he actually doesn't have many things to do in the morning meeting.At the morning meeting at the beginning of each month, the total number of business operations of the outer disciples for this month will be heard, and the inner disciples who have made progress will be commended. After removing the disciples who are not qualified to stay in the inner sect, there will be nothing to do after that.

As for the specific business strategy of the outer sect, it is not something he needs to worry about.

There were no inner sect disciples who broke through this month. Lu Qingyang heard his father read someone's name at the morning meeting, and then a ten-year-old boy tremblingly stood up in the inner sect's seat.When he heard that he had been expelled from the inner sect, he stumbled out of his seat and walked towards the seats of the outer disciples in the outer hall.Someone from the outer sect had already greeted him, and it seemed to be his elder brother. After a few words of comfort in a low voice, the young man's shoulders twitched, and the sound of sobbing could be heard from afar.

Seeing this scene, the inner disciples who have not yet reached the third level of refining Qi felt insecure, knowing that if they didn't work hard, this is what awaited them when they were ten years old.

Lu Qingyang's face was still expressionless. He had watched this scene countless times in the past four years. Although there was no change in his face, every time he felt his heart was pierced by a knife.

The time is approaching little by little, and it is less than a year before his tenth birthday. If he continues to be like this, then there will be no chance to avenge his mother in this life...

Lu Qingyang couldn't help holding the dagger at his waist. He didn't have any appetite for the next breakfast. He just took a bite and then put down his chopsticks, lowering his head and waiting for the morning meeting to end.

He knew that his elder brother Lu Qingming was at the head of the second table among inner disciples, but he really didn't want to pin his hopes on his elder brother.

Mother died to protect him, this responsibility should be fulfilled by him...

In the dark place under the table, the dagger in Lu Qingyang's hand flickered for a while, but no one noticed it.

--------

The morning meeting was very short, and after Lu Juntian's table had dispersed, the inner disciples also began to leave one after another.Some went to chat with the outer disciples sitting in the outer hall. Many of them were biological fathers and sons, brothers and sisters, or had good relatives and friends. The hall was very lively for a while.

Except for the first day of the first month, outer sect disciples are not eligible to enter the main residence of the Lu family, so today is a rare and precious day.Fortunately, the strict family rules of the Lu family were extra merciful on this day, and the outer disciples could not leave the main house until dark on this day.

For this day that everyone in the Lu family was looking forward to, Lu Qingyang felt extremely difficult.Seeing that no one was paying attention, he wanted to take the opportunity to slip away.But when he left his seat and took a few steps, he found a person flashing in front of him.

The visitor was only eleven or twelve years old, and his appearance was three points similar to that of Lu Qingyang, but his physique was strong and tall, a full head taller than him.

Lu Qingyang's heart was astringent, but his face remained expressionless, and he called lightly: "Second brother."

Lu Qinglie folded his arms around his chest, looked Lu Qingyang up and down unceremoniously, and snorted after a while: "You are still at the first level of refining Qi, mother really shouldn't have saved you, a waste!"

Lu Qingyang clenched his fists even tighter. He wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't say a word.

There are two older brothers above him, and the eldest brother is Lu Qingming, who is now the leader of the younger generation of the Lu family.The second elder brother is Lu Qinglie, who is two years older than him. Because he does not have the wisdom root to cultivate immortals, he has not broken through the third level of Qi refining when he was ten years old, so he was sent to study in an outer sect a year ago.Lu Qingyang knew that his father and elder brother must have criticized his mother's tragic death, but they didn't say it to his face.

But he always felt that he took away his mother's favorite second brother, but he always spoke out in front of him without caring.

Even before he was sent to the outer gate, he brought people to trouble him almost every day, just because he saw that he couldn't fight back.

"Little brother, come here and let the second brother see how much you have grown in this month." Seeing Lu Qingyang bow his head in silence, Lu Qinglie laughed more wantonly, he winked to the left and right, and immediately there was someone about his age The outer disciples stepped forward, grabbed Lu Qingyang's arms from left to right, and led him out of the lobby to a remote place.

Although Lu Qinglie's cultivation level is not high, he is the son of the head of the Lu family after all, and there are faint rumors that he deliberately did not break through the third level of Qi refining, but wanted to take over the outside business.So the life in the outer sect is prosperous, and there are a lot of people for him to drive.

Lu Qingyang didn't struggle, because he knew that it was useless even if he shouted loudly, and the more he resisted, the heavier the punishment would be.

It's just the pain of flesh and blood, which used to be suffered every day, but now it is only suffered once a month, which is cheaper for him.

In fact, in Lu Qingyang's heart, it was inevitable that he had the idea of ​​self-pity. Neither his father nor his elder brother had ever blamed him, but the regretful eyes they looked at him were more uncomfortable than the second elder brother's fist.

Soon, Lu Qingyang was pushed and shoved in a secluded place. Lu Qinglie's subordinates were used to doing this kind of thing. Although they looked cruel, they knew in their hearts that this child who was less than ten years old was also the son of the patriarch. More often than not, it's just for show, not too much.

Lu Qinglie looked puzzled, and knew that the boys following him were not as innocent as they were when they were young. The older they were, the more things they had to think about, which was really annoying.

Lu Qingyang had also been beaten many times, and he already knew how to avoid the vital points, so he squatted there and pretended to be dead.There was not even a sound of wailing, which made people hold their breath just looking at it.

Lu Qinglie was upset and planned to come by himself, rolled up his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Back off!"

Lu Qingyang didn't hear what he said clearly. Seeing that the fists of those people had left, he thought that this was the end of the day, so he leaned on the wall and stood up unsteadily.He didn't sleep all night because of studying the dagger last night, and he didn't have breakfast in the morning, so he stood up suddenly and felt dizzy for a while.

Before he could see the surrounding situation clearly, a punch hit his stomach with the sound of wind.

Although Lu Qinglie hadn't broken through the third level of Qi refining, he was physically strong, and even his peers couldn't beat him.This punch came out of his anger again, Lu Qingyang only felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, fell backwards, and sat on the ground directly, his hands were cut by the sand and stones on the ground, only heard a crisp bang, Lu Qingyang heard Lu Qinglie let out a light snort.

"Yo! Little brother, where did you pick up this tattered dagger?" Lu Qinglie shook his aching hand, looking curiously at the rusted dagger on the ground.

Enduring the pain, Lu Qingyang quickly touched his waist, but it was empty.

When he looked up, he happened to see Lu Qinglie walking towards the dagger, intending to bend down to pick it up.

This dagger was attached to Lu Qingyang's obsession, and it was his motivation to avenge his mother. After discovering that this dagger had other secrets last night, it was his last hope.Even if he didn't care about his life, he didn't want this dagger to be snatched away by others.

In desperation, Lu Qingyang used both hands and feet to crawl over from the ground, and before Lu Qinglie touched the dagger, he grabbed it firmly in his hands and hugged him in his arms.

Lu Qinglie raised his eyebrows, and looked at Lu Qingyang who lowered his head and protected the dagger in his arms with great surprise. The latter seemed to be holding some peerless and precious treasure, which made him very curious.

"Little brother, you can't eat such a good thing by yourself! Come on, show me the second brother." Lu Qinglie smiled and stretched out his hand to him.

Lu Qingyang's body froze, but he still shook his head firmly.

Lu Qinglie was not too angry, but felt that his younger brother who usually dared not resist him was too abnormal, and he was even more curious about the dagger in his hand.

Seeing Lu Qingyang's stubborn refusal, Lu Qinglie didn't talk nonsense anymore, and directly stepped forward, squatted down, and wanted to grab it without saying a word.

But just as he stretched out his hand, Lu Qingyang suddenly raised his head, and Lu Qinglie met his eyes inadvertently, but was stunned for a while.

Because those eyes were no longer the gloomy and gloomy like his younger brother's usual promise, but filled with astonishingly brilliant twinkling stars.
