Chapter 213 Punishment!
"Chen...Duo?"
"Can you tell me why you chose these two words?"
After being stunned for a moment, You Fang asked immediately. She suddenly had a feeling that there might be something important to this.
"Why?"
When Chen Duo heard this, there was confusion in his eyes. After thinking hard for a long time, he finally shook his head: "I just feel like it."
She remembered what You Fang said before, that "choosing" means choosing what she "likes" the most. As soon as she saw these two words, she felt a special feeling in her heart, so she naturally chose it.
In this regard, You Fang naturally had nothing to say. He could only keep this question in mind and wait until Chen Duo's communication skills become stronger in the future before asking again.
After that, the problem of Gu children was temporarily solved, and what was left was another purpose of Mr. Lu's coming - Lu Linglong.
As a result, Mr. Lu walked to the door and closed it. His face suddenly became serious, and then he pointed to a stool beside the table and motioned for Lu Linglong to sit on it.
"Master..."
Seeing the sudden change in Mr. Lu's expression, Lu Linglong immediately realized that something was wrong, but she had nowhere to hide at this time, so she could only smile and look embarrassed.
When the others saw this, they naturally didn't say much. Instead, they all looked like they were watching a good show. They just sat around Mr. Lu, making it look like a "three-chamber trial."
"Linglong, now that Gu...Chen Duo's problem has been solved, it's your turn next." Mr. Lu said as he sat down with a golden sword, his whole person was very imposing.
"Tell me, you have done such a big thing this time, how are you going to explain it to your family?" He then stared and spoke slowly.
"Well……"
"Master, aren't I doing something good..." Seeing Mr. Lu's appearance, Lu Linglong's body suddenly tensed up, and then she pouted.
"You have also seen how pitiful this girl Chen Duo is. If I don't take action, there is no telling what will happen to her."
"Still talking back!" Mr. Lu immediately frowned when he saw this, "I can understand that you want to save people, but what about the fact that you are being used by others?"
"Have you ever thought about what would have been the final outcome of this matter if You Boy hadn't been able to do so, or if he hadn't been so far away?"
Snapped!
When it came to being angry, Mr. Lu directly slapped the table, almost breaking the wooden table into pieces.
"this……"
If it were in the past and she felt justified, even if Mr. Lu was so angry, Lu Linglong would only resist him. This is her character, and her own ideas are bigger than the sky.
But she was indeed in the wrong in this incident. She took the initiative to get into the trap set by others, and even involved the other side to let the other party's plan succeed. It was really shameful.
"call……"
So, after lowering her head and thinking for a moment, Lu Linglong nodded, and then took a long breath, as if admitting her mistake.
"Master, I know I was wrong. I was indeed too reckless this time. Although time was indeed tight at the time, I should also analyze and think carefully."
"oh?"
Seeing his great-granddaughter suddenly admitting her mistake, Mr. Lu couldn't help but be stunned. He had already planned to take her home and confine her as soon as she talked back, but he was suddenly discouraged.
You know, this girl's temper is very easy to follow, and even ten cows can't get her back if she gets stubborn. It's been quite rare since she was a child to admit her mistakes obediently like this.
This made Mr. Lu think: "Could this girl have really grown up?"
In fact, although Lu Linglong has big ideas and a stubborn temper, she is still quite capable when it comes to right and wrong. Especially when she is really wrong, she has always dared to take responsibility.
However, in many things in the past, she did not feel that she had done anything wrong. At most, she was at odds with her family's ideas, so naturally she would not admit her mistakes and just accept the punishment directly.
At this moment...
"Uncle, this matter is actually not to blame for Linglong. After all, Zhuge Qing and Lu Liang are both descendants of aristocratic families, with good roots. In addition, they are helpers invited by the company. Generally speaking, they would not have been expected to have such problems. Question." Seeing that Mr. Lu's expression had softened, You Fang took advantage of the opportunity and said.
"Let's not talk about Lu Liang for now. Zhuge Qing's target is obviously me. It's not incomprehensible that Linglong fell into his trap without knowing it."
"Hmph! The Zhuge family and the Lu family, when this matter is over, I will definitely pay them a visit!" After hearing the names of these two families, Mr. Lu snorted angrily. He would naturally not be able to trick the children of the Lu family. Bear it.
Coincidentally, the Zhuge family and the Lu family are both in Zhejiang and in Jinhua. They can go there on the way back this time, which saves them trouble.
"Regarding the issue between these two families, Uncle Master, I hope you will listen to me." Seeing Mr. Lu looking like he was going to settle accounts, You Fang immediately spoke again.
"It was the Zhuge family who set me up this time. Lu Liang did not stop him at most, and the Lu family was probably unaware of this. As for Zhuge Qing, the price he should pay has already been paid. If you want to go, you should weigh it more. Just a few clicks."
From You Fang's point of view, after all, this involves the Zhuge family and the Lu family. Even though the Lu family is powerful, both families are not weak when it comes to the strength of strangers.
Therefore, he did not want to stop Mr. Lu from asking for an explanation, but was afraid that Mr. Lu would go too far because of his anger, which would lead to him suffering in the end, which would be bad.
"You, kid, really think a lot every day. Don't worry, I know what I am thinking." Mr. Lu could also see his thoughts, so he waved his hand.
"As for Linglong, it's a good thing that you know how to admit your mistakes. I wanted to put you in solitary confinement, but now I can avoid it." He then looked at Lu Linglong and nodded gently.
"Really!"
Hearing this, Lu Linglong immediately got angry. Whether she was convinced or not, she didn't want to be put in solitary confinement. That was too aggrieved.
At the same time, seeing that Mr. Lu's expression had improved, she knew that her chance had come, so she quickly stood up and ran behind the old man and began to pinch his shoulders and beat his back.
"I knew that you were the best, Grandpa. You would definitely not put me in solitary confinement. This time I really know I was wrong, and I will be more cautious in the future!"
"Humph! It's really the best!"
Seeing his great-granddaughter being so well-behaved, Grandpa Lu's heart soon melted, especially after he pinched her shoulders and rubbed her back, he was no longer angry.
But...
"However, although you are not put in solitary confinement, it does not mean that there is no punishment for you. When you go home, you can't come out again within a year!" Grandpa Lu said slowly while enjoying it.
"Ah?"
Hearing this, Lu Linglong's palm that was pinching her shoulder suddenly exerted a little more force, causing Grandpa Lu to frown, and she quickly recovered.
"Grandpa, don't, you will get sick if you keep me in solitary confinement like this!" In the past, although Grandpa did not allow her to leave home, he would turn a blind eye whenever he had a holiday, and this time, it was obvious that he was serious.
"Linglong, don't worry. Uncle Master's words have more than one meaning..." At this time, Youfang spoke at the right time and smiled at Mr. Lu, "Uncle Master, you agree, right?"
"Hmm?" Mr. Lu glanced at him but did not answer.
"What do you mean?" Seeing Mr. Lu's reaction, Lu Linglong immediately understood that there must be a deep meaning in it, so she asked quickly.
"Hehe, Uncle Master said 'after you go home', but he didn't say...you have to go home now!" Youfang smiled slightly and reminded him.
"Yes!" Lu Linglong's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and then she pinched his shoulders with full force, "Grandpa, is this what you mean?"
"You kid is too talkative!" Seeing that You Fang made his meaning clear, Grandpa Lu couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, "I talked to You kid before, and I think what he said makes sense. You have been staying at home for these years and have too little experience in the martial arts world. In the next month, you can follow them to travel and gain some experience!"
This was what Grandpa Lu had thought of before he came. If Lu Linglong's attitude of admitting his mistakes this time is good, it is not impossible to let him stay outside for a while.
"Great!"
Lu Linglong cheered when he heard this.
...
...
At the same time.
On the Zhuge family side, Zhuge Qing finally returned home after a lot of twists and turns.
Seeing that he was seriously injured, everyone in the village immediately worked together to use the Qimen formation to treat him. After a long time of hard work, he finally got much better.
At this time, Zhuge Gong came forward and asked Zhuge Qing with a serious face: "Ah Qing, why did you do this? Can you tell me?"
The company just called again, and he roughly knew the situation.
"As a sorcerer, it is not a wise choice to take the initiative to join the game. You can just let Lu Linglong know the news and let her investigate it herself." He continued.
"In this way, if she is in danger, Youfang will definitely know it, or without you, she will not go deep into the dangerous place, and the final result will definitely not be like this now."
"Dad, I know all this, but this result is exactly what I want now, cough cough!" At this time, Zhuge Qing also climbed up from the bed and coughed violently a few times.
"Brother, drink some water." Zhuge Bai, who was standing next to him, saw this and quickly handed him a bowl of water with a worried expression.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
After drinking the water, Zhuge Qing also jumped off the bed, and then gave his father a look and signaled.
Zhuge Gong immediately understood, and quickly drove away the clansmen around, leaving only him and Zhuge Qing in the room, and then he said softly: "Tell me, what do you think?"
"Dad, have you ever thought about why our Zhuge family has been declining since the ancestor Wolong? Now, let alone the "Inner Bureau", even people who can cultivate the "Samadhi True Fire" can't be found." Zhuge Qing responded.
"I didn't quite understand it before, I just thought that the talents of the clansmen were not as good as before, but after studying the "Inner Bureau Volume", I found that it was not the case!"
After speaking, Zhuge Qing explained his previous thoughts to Zhuge Gong, and said that the Zhuge family's "Wu Hou Qi Men" is different from other sorcerers, and its characteristic is "entering the game".
"I think that if the sorcerers of our Wuhou lineage do not get involved, they may never be able to see the true meaning of what our ancestor Wulong has realized, so I want to give it a try and step into this future chaos!"
"..."
Hearing this, Zhuge Gong fell silent, and at the same time, surprise appeared on his face.
As the head of the Zhuge family, and as the most promising genius in the family before Zhuge Qing to cultivate the "Samadhi True Fire", he naturally read the "Inner Bureau Volume" often, but he did not realize what his son had understood. thing.
moment……
"Ah Qing, everyone in the clan says that you are equal to me back then, but it turns out that your talent is even better than mine!" Zhuge Gong said suddenly, his eyes shining brightly.
"Whatever you want to do, just do it. Don't have any scruples. The entire Zhuge family will protect you!"
After speaking, he walked up to Zhuge Qing and patted his son's shoulder solemnly. It could be seen that he was really excited at this time.
Apart from anything else, the realization that Zhuge Qing just said made him feel suddenly enlightened. He suddenly felt that he might still have a chance to attack the "Samadhi True Fire"!
"Oh, right……"
At this time, Zhuge Gong suddenly remembered something, and then said: "I just received the news. The company seems to have reached some kind of agreement with the traveler. Not only did it not take back the Gu boy, it also did not embarrass him."
"I thought about it, the Lu family should have taken action." Zhuge Qing nodded, which was not beyond his expectation.
"This shows that although the Gu boy will not cause chaos now, it will definitely be a key to the future. The company will never sit back and watch the Gu boy wander around. Now the Gu boy has been sent to You Fang. That’s a good thing.”
"Then what are your plans next? Recuperate your injuries at home first." Zhuge Gong nodded and then expressed concern.
"This is natural, but chaos is about to arise. Since we are going to get involved, we still need to make more preparations. We can have closer contact with the company in the future." Zhuge Qing responded.
His idea is very simple. Since chaos is about to arise, it is natural to unite more forces that can be combined and expand his own strength reserves, so that he can better play the game.
At the same time, he was also preparing to continue retreating, trying to cultivate the "Samadhi True Fire" before then. After this enlightenment, he had already felt that even without the help of You Fang's mark, he could achieve it by himself alone. He believes that he can also cultivate his abilities!
"As for the problem at hand, in addition to recovering from injuries, we still have to make other preparations..." Zhuge Qing then reminded again.
"I understand, you set up Lu Linglong this time, and Lu Jin will definitely not give up. I will leave this matter to your father, and you can just take a good rest." Zhuge Gong nodded, signaling that he could rest assured.
