Chapter 1 The Lu Family Defector

How can there be a 30-year-old prince in the world?

Lu Zhong's answer is yes.

Actually more than 30 years.

After the Jiashen Rebellion in 44, Lu Ci became the head of the Lu family. Within two years, the eldest son Lu Zhong was born.

If calculated at this point in time, then he has been sitting as the "Prince" of the Lu family for nearly 70 years.

Even counting from the time when he awakened the soul art, it has been nearly 60 years.

At that time, at the age of just ten years old, he became the only member of the Lu family who possessed innate soul skills and acquired wishful energy. He was also the most pleasing heir to Lu Ci among the four brothers and sisters. Generation successor.

But more than 60 years have passed, and he is still the successor.

For decades, he worked conscientiously and cautiously under his father Lu Ci, and never took a wrong step, but his position under one person was not always stable. Among them, the biggest challenge came from his second brother Lu Xiao.

There is no other reason, only because the second brother Lu Xiao is too capable to give birth, and the quality of the offspring is too high.

The next generation of the four brothers and sisters, that is, Lu Ci's grandchildren, in the entire generation, few people can awaken the Ming Soul Art, and there are quite a few seedlings who practice Qi.

It's just that the aptitude for refining qi alone can't be compared with Lu Zhong's generation, so no one can get into Lu Ci's eyes, and naturally it has no impact on the distribution of power in the Lu family.

Unexpectedly, when it came to the fourth generation under Lu Ci, the Lu family experienced a great explosion of awakening. Many people had awakened the soul art, and their level was not low, especially Lu Xiao's grandchildren were the most prominent.

Under Lu Xiao, there is a son and a daughter. The sons have brothers Lu Gong and Lu Liang. One is better than the other in soul art, especially Lu Liang, whose talent in soul art is rare among his peers.

It would be inaccurate to say that few people can surpass Lu Liang. In fact, only Lu Huan, the granddaughter of Lu Xiao's daughter Lu Feng, can surpass Lu Liang in Ming Soul Art.

Despite his young age, Lu Huan has already become the strongest user of Ming Soul Art in the whole family, and his acquired qi refining talent is also extremely high.

Lu Ci even made an exception and passed on to her the wishful energy of the Lu family, which is passed on from men to women.

Because of the three of them, the status of the originally inconspicuous second child, Lu Xiaoyizhi, has risen dramatically in the Lu family.

Lu Xiao also took this opportunity to replace Lu Zhong and become No.1 under Lu Ci.

Even Lu Ping, who had no aptitude for qi refining, was able to speak in front of Lu Ci just because he was the father of the two brothers Lu Gong.

At one point, Lu Zhong thought that he had missed out on that position, and naturally his second brother, Lu Xiao, was expected to replace him.

It's just that no one could have imagined that Lu Huan died inexplicably within a day, and the biggest suspect turned out to be Lu Liang.

Afterwards, Lu Liang fled away, leaving only Lu Gong, who had fair soul skills, so that the status of the second eldest Lu Xiao plummeted, and he was ashamed to see others in the family.

As for who is the biggest beneficiary, Lu Zhong does not know, but there is no doubt that he, Lu Zhong, is definitely one of the beneficiaries of this tragedy.

Since he was sensible, he was educated by his father Lu Ci to put the family first. While Lu Zhong regretted the death of Lu Huan, who had always been regarded as a symbol of family prosperity, he couldn't control the joy that surged from the bottom of his heart.

In any case, after the inexplicable tragedy, he has now become the undisputed "Prince" of the Lu family, and no one in the family can compete with him for that position.

You only need to wait for the opportunity to climb to the top of the family and become the pinnacle of one of the four major families overlooking the Inhuman World.

Aliens are different from ordinary people.

For ordinary people, seventy is already a rare thing, but aliens are still alive and kicking when they reach seventy or eighty. On the contrary, as they grow older, their abilities become more powerful. Lu Ci, the pillar of the Lu family, is the representative.

Although he looks old, but he has accumulated power for decades, and his aura is unfathomable. No one knows how many years he can rule the Lu family with one word.

Even so, in recent years, Lu Ci has also begun to hand over some affairs to him, Lu Zhong, as a gesture of gradually transferring power.

For Lu Zhong, this is something to be excited about. After all, he has been staring at that position for decades, but at the same time it is something to be vigilant about.

So many eyes are watching his every move, any mistakes or omissions will be magnified to the extent that it will affect his prestige and cause unnecessary twists and turns, so we must be extremely cautious in handling everything.

When he was young, he could still talk about feelings with other siblings, but after decades, he now represents more than just himself.

It is more of an appeal on behalf of the descendants, and it is the appeal of a Lu surname derived from him. Among them, the conflicts of interests are intricate, so how can we talk about feelings?
Looking at the file in his hand, the city was deep and gloomy, and Lu Zhong, who had always been calm, had doubts that hadn't appeared in a long time, and was in a rare moment of ecstasy.

Two days ago, there was a piece of news from the Inhuman Realm that no one knew whether it was true or not, but everyone could not ignore it, claiming that the descendant of one of the Eight Great Miraculous Skills, the origin of the Qi Body, had appeared in the world.

The matter was a bit abrupt, and it was impossible to tell the truth from the fake, but the Lu family, like other major forces, responded quickly.

The head of the family, Lu Ci, temporarily handed over the family affairs to Lu Zhong as an agent, and then led people out of Lu's village.

Lu Zhong knew the meaning of the origin of the Qi body, and this is a miraculous skill that can make the family rise rapidly, so Lu Ci is so cautious.

Before leaving, he specifically told him to act in a low-key manner until the matter of the origin of the qi body came to fruition, and everything should focus on the origin of the qi body.

Lu Ci seldom made such prudent entrustments, so Lu Zhong did not dare to be careless, and was more careful when handling family affairs.

It's just that they didn't expect that at such a moment, there would be a flaw in the family - as soon as Lu Ci left, some members of the family left the family in the course of carrying out the mission, suspected of defecting.

For the Lu family, this is a very serious accident that hasn't happened in decades.

In order to maintain the lineage and population of the Lu surname, the Lu family village is isolated from the world, extremely xenophobic, and rarely interacts with outsiders. Most of the marriages are the combination of Lu surnames from the same village. Even women need to recruit relatives, and the offspring will follow the mother's surname.

In the past, some people tried to break away from the control of Lu Family Village, but this was the first time that they suddenly left the village while they were out of the village to do family tasks, regardless of the family's reaction.

What's more serious is that the reason why this junior made this choice is completely unknown.

So how to explain to Lu Ci?

Lu Zhong felt a little headache.

At this moment, in Lu Zhong's hand was the file of that junior, no matter how big or small it was, there were detailed records.

Even a small conflict with someone in a certain place was not missed, but no matter how you analyze it, you can't see any doubts, and you can't analyze his motives for acting.

After looking at it many times, the information on the file is mediocre.

His name is Lu Zhen, and he comes from the lineage of the fourth brother Lu Yi.

Lu Yi did not have the aptitude to refine qi since he was a child, and he also failed to awaken the soul art. He is the most low-key among Lu Ci's four children.

This Lu Zhen is the grandson of the little transparent Lu Yi. Although like Lu Yi, he cannot awaken the Ming Soul Art, but he is not weak in refining Qi. He was once called a prodigy of the Lu family when he was a child.

When others were still wearing diapers and being hugged by their parents, he had already shown a fairly independent character, exploring around the village all day long.

When others were forced to practice basic skills while crying, he practiced hard in silence, never complaining, and never shed tears.

Speaking of which, this Lu Zhen has never shed tears since he was born, which is barely a strange thing.

Because of his precocious personality, Lu Zhen was able to practice basic skills earlier and more seriously. He was the most outstanding person in the practice of Ruyi Jin in the early days. Once, like Lu Huan, he fell into Lu Ci's eyes and was praised by Lu Ci.

But as he grew older and other people knew that after working hard, Lu Zhen's advantage was gone, and he was lost in the crowd, and was gradually surpassed by his peers with better qualifications.

Later, it was too late to awaken the soul art, so it was no longer noticed by others.

It’s okay to say that there is no trace of suspiciousness at all. Lu Zhong took the file and analyzed it over and over again, and still found what he thought was the most likely motive for Lu Zhen’s defection.

Lu Zhen is precocious and has an independent personality. He has not made many friends since he was a child. Perhaps because he is equally good, he only makes good friends with three brothers and sisters, Lu Huan.

On the day of Lu Huan's death, Lu Zhen was frightened and shut himself in the room for three days and three nights before going out.

After that, he became even more taciturn and became a transparent person on the edge of the village.

Maybe it was because of being stimulated that he wanted to leave the village?
Lu Zhen grew up in the village since he was a child, and has almost never had contact with outsiders. This is the first time he has left the village. It is less likely that he will be tempted by others and defect, so this is the reason?
But it was a bit inexplicable, if he wanted to leave the village, why did Lu Zhen choose this critical moment to defect in such a decisive way?
Besides, what other reason could make a Lu family who had lived in the village for nearly 20 years flee suddenly?

The more Lu Zhong thought about it, the more suspicious he felt.
