Sky Island.
A young girl is running at a fast pace. Her figure is divine, her body light, the white hem of her skirt lifted by the wind as if to float away from her into the sky.
Her long, thin legs, crisscrossed and running as fast as she could, she crossed the neatly manicured lawn, a flock of peaC*cks and mallards fluttering away as she was startled.
She thumped along the avenue of the estate, the shadows of the trees casting a shifting shadow over her body.
She pa*sed through an archway and courtyard.
“Look out, Miss!” The doorman exclaimed.
She giggled and ran faster.
She crossed another courtyard filled with flowered pergolas balloons and ribbons, sets of cooking utensils and grills were set up in the courtyard, a row of cooks were busy in the courtyard, a leg of lamb on the grill, was being roasted to the point of oozing oil and giving off a glorious smell.
“Miss, grilled lamb chops for dinner? Australian Snowdrop lamb, just flown in today.” A chef shouted at the young girl.
“No! It’s dirtying my clothes!” The young girl’s voice, like a silver bell, came from far away, and she had already run a dozen metres away.
The young girl crossed a corridor and ran as fast as she could through a cluster of flowers, which were stirred by her, and flakes of pink flowers fell from the sky as if they were a sea of flowers, and the young girl was bathed in a shower of flowers.
Giggle!
She was running, laughing, twirling, tilting her face up, closing her eyes and wandering through the gentle petals, the intoxicating scent of the flowers, the brilliant sunshine ……
The next second, her person was out of the forest of flowers, bird-like, running towards the centre of the estate.
“Grandfather, grandfather!”
Finally, the young girl ran to the inner courtyard.
In the courtyard, an old man was standing under the eaves of the house and was looking up at a pair of swallows in a nest under the eaves.
He was hale and hearty in a brand new Zhongshan suit, his face glowing red and he was obviously in a good mood.
“Wan’er.” Lu Beike turned around and looked at his granddaughter.
“Grandpa, isn’t it beautiful!” Lu Wan stood on tiptoe and quickly spun around a few times, it was as if she was a genie, her white dress blossomed in a flash, and the few petals that had just landed on her in the flower forest were flung away from her, as if they were pink butterflies, dancing around her.
“Beautiful, Wan’er is so beautiful.” Lu Beique laughed loudly, he was not being perfunctory, his gaze truly showed appreciation.
“Then I’m relieved!”
Lu Wan paused and spread her smile, “Grandpa has said it looks good, then brother Yuan will definitely think it’s pretty too!”
“So you’re wearing it for Yuan’er to see.” Lu Bei Ke said with a smile.
“Of course I am!” Lu Wan tilted his face up, “Brother Yuan and I, we haven’t seen each other for over three years, I want him to see that his sister Wan’er has grown up and has grown into a big girl!”
“Right, grandpa, brother Yuan will really come back today, right!” Lu Wan suddenly, between her eyebrows, revealed a few more moments of worry.
“Don’t worry about it! Lu Ling has already gone to Jincheng to pick him up, no surprises, we’ll be able to receive Tiandao at noon today, when the time comes, we’ll celebrate properly.” There was a vague excitement in Lu Bei Ke’s tone.
“But grandpa, last time brother Yuan was forced to leave by the Murong family, this time when he returns to the family, the Murong family will not make trouble from it again!”
“Not afraid, Lu Ling is already engaged to Shang Xiu Suan, with the support of the Shang Xiu Suan family, the Murong family wouldn’t dare to make any moves, besides, this matter was only made by Murong Ruo Lan alone, it wasn’t the Murong family’s intention either.”
“This old woman Murong Ruo Lan, she is really detestable!” Lu Wan said with hatred, “All of this, she is the one who stirred it up.”
“Shhh!”
Lu Beique hurriedly made a gesture of silence and said with a straight face, “Wan’er, when talking about these ancient nobles, you must not let your nature run wild, lest trouble come out of your mouth.”
“Hmph, grandpa, although the Murong family is powerful, but our Lu family is now greatly stronger than the Murong family now that we are married to the Upper Opera family, so why should we be afraid.”
“That’s where you’re wrong, the Murong family is so strong that it can stand up to the other four noble families of the Upper Opera. Nowadays, even if we, the Lu Family and the Shangxiu Family join forces, we are by no means the Murong Family’s opponent, except that this is the Original Continent, which is a bit more favourable to us, but if the Murong Family really wants to make a move, none of us are his opponent.” Lu Bei Ke said here and patted Lu Wan Er, “Alright, go and get ready, I know that you must still have a lot of things to prepare for Lu Yuan.”
“Mm! Grandpa, I’m going!”
Lu Wan was like an elfin deer, and like a whirlwind, she scampered away.
Yes, she still had a lot of things to prepare for Lu Yuan, those gifts she had brought from the island!
Looking at Lu Wan’s cheerful departing back, Lu Bei Ke smiled, a kind expression on his face that was rarely seen for him.
Yes, even though he was the head of the Lu family, probably the most powerful person on earth, he was only an old man after all. Now that one of his most beloved grandsons was finally returning to his clan, seeing his granddaughter bouncing around happily, and seeing this warm and wonderful bond between his grandchildren, he also had a feeling of having a family full of children and grandchildren and being happy together.
However, Lu Beike’s eyes suddenly dropped and he seemed to have thought of something.
He quickly went back into the room, where there was an old red telephone.
Lu Beike picked up the microphone and just started on the dialing keypad, dialing the number.
“Old Bear, hey, you’ll be surprised to get a call from me, I didn’t expect that, I’ve kept your Dragon Soul contact number, right?” Lu Bei Ke said to himself while dialing the number, “Old Xiong, don’t think I don’t know what you left my Lu family for, I know you did it so you wouldn’t drag my old Lu family into it, you wanted to rejoin Dragon Soul, retrieve your special forces status, and then go to Jincheng to protect Yuan’er and protect him from being poisoned by Murong Ruo Lan.”
“You have done too much for Yuan’er, but now, you can finally take a break and rest, Yuan’er has returned to his clan, you can also come back, come back you can still use the Five Willow Jade Mirror, hey, come back and eat your favourite Lu family snacks, and, we can both still play chess.”
Speaking of this, Lu Bei Ke’s face showed a few moments of despondency, “It’s really a bit lonely without you, an old friend, around.”
As he said that, Lu Beique finished dialing the number.
“Beep …… beep ……” A standby tone rang out on the phone, but no one answered.
“What’s going on, Old Xiong ah, why aren’t you answering the phone?” Lu Beique frowned, a little anxious.
At this moment, a black military mobile phone was lying in the gra*s on the hillside, buzzing and vibrating.
Next to the phone, a long dried blood looked very stinging.
This was the very place where Elder Xiong had been ambushed, and where he had shot Murong Ruo Lan.
It was also where his wrist had been severed.
Finally, there was a busy tone of no answer on the phone.
Lu Beique frowned and put down the microphone a little reluctantly, “Old Xiong, what’s up with this guy, what the hell is he up to?”
At that moment, someone suddenly came to report, “Grand Master, there is an unexpected guest at the door!”
Lu Beique was stunned.
Unwelcome guests?
How could that be?
This was the Lu Family’s Heavenly Island, so no one could just come here.
Moreover, today was the day to welcome Lu Yuan back to the clan, and in order to celebrate, it was all people from within the clan, and even if they were from outside, they were still extremely closely interacting clans, and still had letters of invitation.
These people came to Tiandao, even if they didn’t need to show the invitation letter, the servants on the island would know them.
How could there be uninvited guests now?
Lu Beike couldn’t think about it too much and hurriedly arrived at the gate.
At the gate, the many guards of the Lu family were confronting a group of people.
“Stand still! This is the Lu Family Heavenly Island, who are you people!”
“I warn you again, this is not a place to be wild, you will regret it for the rest of your lives if you dare to make one more step!”
“Lu Family Heavenly Island, no one is allowed to be reckless here!”
Each of these guards were top-notch fighters who could fight ten to one, and were all under the Lu Family, and although the Lu Family had taught them not to be arrogant, they must naturally have a sense of superiority in general.
With doubts in his heart, Lu Bei Ke hurriedly stepped forward and pushed the crowd away.
When he saw the person in front of him, he was instantly stunned.
The man in front of him was tall and had eyes like bells. With a head of black hair, he looked very tough.
“Lord of the Shang Opera Village?”
Lu Beique was instantly distracted and could not help but say offhandedly.
