Zhu Yinghuai was a descendant of the Zhu family in Fengyang. He joined Zheng Kun since he was a child. He successfully passed the selection and entered the Shenjisi at the age of 16. In just three years, he was promoted from Shenjisi to Shenjisheng. The young man was a bit proud.

He kindly sent Mr. Lu back. Not only did he not thank him, but he also kept a needle in his mouth, which made him want to leave if he could not shake his sleeves.

However... I can't leave. The master's instructions have not been done yet.

Zhu Yinghuai spitted out a turbid breath and took out the gift list from his sleeve bag. "Old Mrs. Lu's 60th birthday, Master originally wanted to come to the mansion to ask for a glass of wine. However, evil spirits appeared in Wuming Mountain. Master could not take it off." He presented the gift list to Lu Guan with both hands, "The gift was prepared by the master long ago. Mr. Lu, please accept it with a smile."

Lu Guan was clear-headed. Zheng Kunyi was not in the Lu family. What he really wanted to meet was Lu Zhen’s master, Pei Dongzhai.

After so many years, he still doesn't give up? Pei Zhenren clearly didn't want to get involved with Shenjisi. Zheng Kun insisted on pestering him. This man was really stubborn. Lu Guan accepted the gift list, "Zheng Shenji is intent." He just found a reason to return the gift in a few days. He wouldn't owe him anything anyway. Lu Guan made up his mind and took a sip of tea.

"There is something..." Zhu Yinghuai smiled and said, "It is more appropriate to tell Miss Lu Wu in person. Can I ask Miss Lu Wu to come out and meet?"

This request is not appropriate for others' homes. But Lu Zhen is not a girl from "other people's homes". Moreover, they can't understand the matter of the sorcerer. Lu Guan wanted to refuse, but then he thought about it and thought that it would be better to listen to what Zhu Yinghuai was going to say. Lu Guan thought for a moment and ordered someone to go to Yannian Hall to invite someone.

...

Lu Zhen, Lu and Zhu Yinghuai met the rites and each sat down.

Zhu Yinghuai's gaze hurriedly passed by Lu Zhen's face and lowered his eyes silently. The girl's appearance was beautiful and her temperament was outstanding. Especially the cinnabar mole on the tip of her eyebrows added a bit of excitement to her already outstanding facial features. But... she was not lucky enough to see her face. Being able to join the disciple of Zhenren Pei probably used all her luck.

This thought turned around in his heart, and Zhu Yinghuai got to the point, "Recently, evil spirits appeared in Wuming Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing. However,... many Shenjishishi sentries from Shenjishishi set off to various Taoist temples to select sorcerers but have not returned yet. Shenjishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishi

Lu Guan twisted his beard and looked at Zhu Yinghuai's eyes deep and looked at it. He didn't see Zhu Yinghuai many times. He only had the impression of him "Zheng Kun's taciturn apprentice". Today he realized that he was not taciturn, but was a clever tongue.

Zheng Kun went back on his word and turned over. Being able to be his apprentice is not a good thing. He said that he would help the Divine Machinery to eliminate evil spirits, but who knows what they were thinking about. Zhen Jie'er is pure and not well-informed. Isn't that easy for Zheng Kun to plot against her?

If I had known that Zhu Yinghuai had said this, I should have refused it just now.

He was the trouble, so he refused to do so for Sister Zhen. Lu Guan cleared his throat and was about to speak, but the door of the study was suddenly pulled open. Old Master Lu stepped in and walked straight towards Lu Zhen. Before he could stand still, he bowed, "Senior Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, and my style remains the same!"

The Lu family's seniority is ranked in order of entry into the sect? But... I haven't heard that Master Pei accepted Mr. Lu as his apprentice. Zhu Yinghuai went to see Lu Zhen with anticipation. If Miss Lu Wu responded, "Junior Brother" would be interesting. Her eyes naturally turned to Lu Guan. Seeing that he was still alive, it was obviously not the first time he was facing such an embarrassing scene. When he looked at Lu's family, his expression was as calm as Lu Guan. He looked like he was not used to it.

Lu Zhen hurriedly got up and returned the greeting, calling out: "Grandfather!"

Fortunately, I didn't hear any strange words. For some reason, Zhu Yinghuai felt a little relieved in his heart.

It took only a moment to relieve the gratitude, and Zhu Yinghuai gritted his teeth in annoyance. He was relieved that the big-headed ghost! People don’t take this matter seriously at all!

Old Master Lu twisted his beard and asked in a deep voice: "You have been practicing in the mountains for more than half a year, can you make any progress?"

He should have asked questions in his grandfather's identity. Zhu Yinghuai pinched his cuffs and printed his forehead. Judging from the conversation between the two of them and the reactions of Lu Guan and others, Old Master Lu's madness has obviously reached the point where he has no medicine.

Zhu Yinghuai secretly tsk. It is really sad that the former Iron Mouth Censor ended up like this.

Lu Zhenxu responded, "It's okay, it's okay."

Old Master Lu bowed to Zhu Yinghuai, "I understand what Zhu Shenjisheng said just now. There are evil spirits on Wuming Mountain. Didn't Zheng Shenji take people to kill them in the mountains? I originally wanted to give you some help, but you are ungrateful!"

The old man Lu became more and more angry as he spoke, "I forced me back to the mansion. I wanted to repay my kindness with kindness. Let my senior sister do a cow and horse for you. Kill all the evil spirits, and you will take the credit, and you will take your Majesty's reward. My senior sister is in vain. Ha! The Shenji Si is so narrow-minded that it is difficult to enter the grand ceremony. I can't blame Zheng Kun for so many years..."

Even if you can't be a great master! Lu Guan silently added in his heart, and took a step forward and tightly grasped Mr. Lu's wrist, "Dad! Dad! You calm down."

Old Master Lu shook his sleeves with a calm face and hummed in a muffled manner.

To comfort Mr. Lu, Lu Guan smiled at Zhu Yinghuai with shame and apologies, "I'm really sorry. My mother's birthday is over, and my father is too happy. He can't help but speak inconspicuously. If there is something to offend, don't blame Zhu Shenji for his life."

Mrs. Lu also laughed, and the guilt on her face was even more than Lu Guan, "Why... Zhu Shenjisheng stayed to have a glass of birthday wine?"

What the old man was too happy, but it was actually a madman. Mr. Lu wanted to overestimate his ability to overthrow it. Zhu Yinghuai shook his hand, "No, no. I have to go back to Wuming Mountain as soon as possible."

Old Master Lu held his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice to the "Ink Bamboo Picture" on the wall: "Let's walk slowly and don't send you off!"

After the words came to an end, Lu Guan and Lu smiled.

"My father is so happy. Hahaha."

"It's sixty years old. Hahaha."

Old Master Lu's patience has come to an end, and he paused word by word, "Let's go slowly and don't send me off!"

The smiles on Lu Guan and Lu's faces seemed to fall to the ground, and they were broken into pieces and couldn't even be picked up.

"Hello, don't greet him."

"Be careful on the way of Zhu Shenjisheng."

“…”

Zhu Yinghuai walked out of the Lu family with heavy steps, frowned and looked back at the Zhuqi gate. The Lu family was so difficult!

...

After seeing off Zhu Yinghuai, Lu went to Yanniantang to report to the old lady about what happened in the front yard.

The tea and desserts in the study were replaced with new ones. Lu Zhen frowned and whispered, "Grandfather, even if Zhu Yinghuai doesn't come, I'm going to Wuming Mountain."

"What are you going to do?" Old Master Lu pinched a boiled peanut with two fingers. "You go home and Zheng Kun comes to ask for someone after you go home. Humph, keep an eye on our family."
