CHAPTER 709: CHAPTER 708: HE HAS A WARM HEART

Lu Zixun, having absorbed the Spiritual Ability Traits, reflected and ultimately decided to visit the Yang Family.

No matter what Yang Guohong had done to the Demon Country previously, Lu Zixun had settled those scores.

Now, as the dead are most important, Lu Zixun wouldn’t have been able to develop the Demon Country without Yang Guohong’s care in the past.

Lu Xinran had been kneeling for a long time in the memorial hall by then.

Lu Zixun, without glancing elsewhere, lit incense sticks and, staring at Yang Guohong’s black-and-white portrait, inevitably felt a pang of emotion and silently took out a cigarette.

Indeed, life is like a phone call, either you hang up first, or I do, and it’s the same for Spiritual Ability Users.

"Why... why did you come here?"

Lu Zixun, who was planning to accompany Yang Guohong for a while and reflecting on life while smoking, heard Lu Xinran’s voice beside him.

He tapped the cigarette ash and looked down at Lu Xinran, saying faintly, "The dead are most important."

"Sure enough, Grandfather once said that if he died, you would definitely come."

Choked up, Lu Xinran took a letter out of the talisman and handed it to Lu Zixun, "This is something my grandfather asked me to give to you."

"Oh?"

Lu Zixun squinted his eyes, took the letter, and began reading it in front of Lu Xinran.

"It’s been a long time, Xiao Xun. We haven’t seen each other for a while, and writing this, I can’t help but reminisce about the days you’d occasionally come to visit me."

"As one gets older, it’s easy to become extreme in actions, but for the future of the Fusion World, I had to be radical, even if it meant targeting the Demon Country."

"After the world began connecting, I knew my time was limited. Many strange powers are awakening in the Fusion World. Don’t rush for success; take slow and steady steps."

"Xinran is a good child, just a bit immature in her ideas. After I’m gone, she won’t oppose the Demon Country, Xiao Xun... don’t be too hard on her."

"With Youyou, Zhen Zhuoxiu’s care is reassuring, but what worries me is that the Song Family might take action against the Yang Family. After all, the Song Family fervently believes in the notion of bloodline, and while the Yang Family’s bloodline might not have been considered special before, it will undoubtedly be highly coveted once the Fusion World awakens."

"A child born with the Yang Family bloodline possesses Extraordinary Power from birth and is a natural Believer. Therefore, old man, shamelessly, I implore you with one thing: when the Yang Family faces danger, please lend a helping hand."

"Guohong, my thanks."

After reading the letter, Lu Zixun took out another cigarette, his lips curling into a faint smile.

Indeed, even in death, one can leave a whole mess behind.

Often, Lu Zixun didn’t know which words to use to describe Yang Guohong.

The capriciousness of humans far exceeded Lu Zixun’s imagination.

But after reading the letter, Lu Zixun understood it clearly.

Yang Guohong was thinking of his family until the very end, no wonder he pushed so hard for the Genetic Optimization Formula, just to conceal the matter of the Yang Family bloodline.

What does being born with Extraordinary Power entail?

It means, facing an infant with the Yang Family bloodline, even an I-Level Spiritual Ability User could be killed if not careful.

Such a powerful Bloodline Power... Lu Zixun couldn’t help but sigh.

Summoning the Spiritual Fire, he incinerated the letter to ash and blew a smoke ring.

Yang Guohong truly trusted him not to covet the Yang Family bloodline.

"Uncle Xun."

As Lu Zixun stood in the memorial hall, Yang Ming approached and softly called out.

Expecting a child, Lu Zixun disposed of the cigarette butt and used his Spiritual Energy to cleanse the smell of smoke before turning around.

However, seeing an adult instead, Lu Zixun’s face fell with annoyance – he was an uncle now?

"Grandfather mentioned you in his will; you are even more formidable than I imagined."

Hearing Yang Ming’s flattering words, Lu Zixun fell silent for a moment before smiling softly, "You’re not too bad yourself."

After all, it’s said that you don’t slap a smiling face, and since Yang Ming had said as much, Lu Zixun couldn’t well make things difficult for him.

Lu Zixun wasn’t an unreasonable person.

However, he truly found it somewhat difficult to accept the title "Uncle Xun."

"From now on, I will be in control of the Yang Family, so... I would like to sign an alliance with Uncle Xun."

Yang Ming, with determination in his eyes, looked up at Lu Zixun, "The cost will be that the Yang Family becomes a vassal of the Demon Country."

Lu Xinran raised her head in disbelief, only she knew how proud Yang Ming was.

But why... why become a vassal of the Demon Country?

Is he still afraid of my revenge...

After hearing what Yang Ming had said, Lu Zixun understood in an instant.

Looking into Yang Ming’s eyes filled with marvel, Lu Zixun thought this was the clever way to act, to know when to bow and when to stand tall.

"There’s no need to become a vassal, but signing an alliance is possible."

Pausing for a moment, Lu Zixun patted Yang Ming on the shoulder, "You’re very smart, and not bad at all, just next time, call me Brother Xun instead."

Bullying these juniors wasn’t much fun, Lu Zixun was planning to go out and talk with Zhen Zhuoxiu, then head back.

Watching Lu Zixun’s departing silhouette, Yang Ming grew silent for a while.

It was then that he understood what his grandfather’s words meant.

Lu Zixun, had a warm heart.

...

"Yang Ming has come out from that place, today we must take him away!"

"But Lu Zixun is also there, will he take action?"

"He won’t take action, don’t forget how Yang Guohong used to target the Demon Country."

"Alright."

A group of men in black appeared near the Yang Family’s location, quickly moving towards where Yang Ming was.

...

At this moment, Lu Zixun, watching Zhen Zhuoxiu comforting Yang Youyou, had nothing much to say.

After uttering "Take things as they come," he prepared to leave, when the Spiritual Energy Fluctuation in the surroundings made him stop in his tracks.

At this time, who would be using Spiritual Energy?

Thinking about the content of Yang Guohong’s letter, Lu Zixun sighed silently, as Spiritual Energy burst forth from him.

"What’s this? Lu Zixun’s Spiritual Energy! Why would he take action?"

The lead man in black’s pupils shrank.

Just as he was about to call for a retreat, he was frozen into ice.

Sensing the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy, Yang Ming rushed out of the spiritual hall and saw Lu Zixun standing in front of the men in black, his expression somewhat somber, "Brother Xun, they’ve come for me."

"Of course they have, a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp, who else would they come for if not you."

Shaking his head, Lu Zixun spoke leisurely, "I’m leaving the people to you. You should know better how to interrogate them, and let me remind you of something."

Sensing Yang Ming’s J-level strength, Lu Zixun said indifferently, "With the current state of the Fusion World, J-level strength is no longer sufficient. Unless you can use the Extraordinary Power inside you. If you can’t use it, you’d better advance your strength sooner rather than later, or else... you’ll die."
