At the quiet foot of the mountain, a simple courtyard is shaded by a verdant bamboo forest.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the bamboo leaves and falls on the soil, creating mottled light and shadows.

In this tranquility, a young man in simple green robe was busy working in a field in the yard.

He has a slender figure, a handsome face, delicate features, and a pair of deep eyes that seem to be able to see into people's hearts.

Although his clothes were simple, they could not conceal his heroic spirit and elegance.

Her long black hair was simply tied up, revealing her broad forehead and angular face.

The young man was waving a hoe and turning over the soil.

His movements were skillful and powerful, and his expression was focused and serious, as if he was having a silent conversation with the earth.

Next to the young man is a lush fruit and vegetable field.

The fruits and vegetables in the fields are growing well and are full of green.

The young man carefully observed the growth of each fruit and melon, and nodded with satisfaction from time to time.

"I haven't congratulated my cousin Ning Feng on his marriage yet. I will definitely bother you and ask for a drink when the time comes."

The young man skillfully loosened the soil for the plants. These were just ordinary fruits and vegetables, but he took them extremely seriously.

After he finished doing all this, he stood up, looked at the two figures, one standing and one sitting in the bamboo pavilion in the yard, and smiled faintly.

"Cousin Ziqi, you are joking. Why bother you? I will definitely ask you to be there when the time comes."

Lu Ningfeng waved his hand and smiled.

Lu Ziqi.

One of the four young masters of the Lu family, Master Wen.

A scholar.

He is Lu Ningfeng's uncle, Lu Daohong's only son, and is five years older than Lu Ningfeng.

Speaking of which, Lu Ningfeng often played with this cousin when he was a child.

The latter always held a book in his arms, and although he played with her, his attention was always on the book.

However, in recent years, the two have met less and less frequently, and have become more distant.

Looking back, it was really beyond Lu Ningfeng's expectation that he would stand up and choose to participate among those who were qualified to compete for the position of heir.

He has always been oblivious to what is happening outside, and has only focused on reading books by sages. He has not paid much attention to spiritual practice, so he should dislike this kind of fight the most.

However, five years ago, he chose to participate in the competition for succession, and since then, his cultivation has begun to advance by leaps and bounds.

He had already reached the Nirvana realm two years ago, and was the first among the four young masters to break through.

As for that period of time, a clue was found in the memory of Lu Ningfeng's previous life.

Lu Ziqi once came to look for his father Lu Daolin, but when he finally went back his face was terribly gloomy.

"Cousin, do you have anything else to say?"

Lu Ziqi picked some fruits and put them in a bamboo basket, then walked to the water tank to get water to wash them.

"I don't have much to say, I just wanted to come and see my cousin. He hasn't changed much," Lu Ningfeng waved his hand and turned to look at the fruits and vegetables in the ridges in the yard.

The moment he walked into the courtyard, Lu Ningfeng understood.

Lu Ziqi is the strongest among the four young masters.

Just based on his determination for the Tao, he deserves to be the strongest.

“There are still some changes.”

"Mm, delicious, very sweet."

Lu Ziqi walked into the bamboo pavilion carrying a fruit basket, placed it next to the wedding candy basket, smiled faintly, took out a piece of wedding candy, peeled off the sugar coating, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it carefully.

"Cousin, don't you plan to launch the attack in advance? The rules allow Taoist couples to attack together."

Lu Ningfeng took a cucumber with a smile and took a bite.

A light sweetness and refreshing moisture spreads in the mouth.

"The melons my cousin grows are still so delicious."

The competition for the successor to the Lu family is a test of talent, strength, character, and luck; it is an all-round competition.

The family will record the open and covert struggles between the heirs-to-be, regardless of the process, only the results. As long as it does not violate the rules and as long as you can suppress the other party, you will score points.

Therefore, fostering and training one's own team to compete is not only to demonstrate the leader's ability, but also to compete for this point.

There is one exception.

Among the group of people who are eligible to compete for the position of heir, their initial strength is actually similar. If anyone can defeat other opponents in a row in the final duel, he can directly become the heir.

Anyone who has the ability to overwhelm all his peers will be eligible to go directly to the top.

This is also the reason why Lu Ziqi did not support any forces.

He was confident that he could defeat three opponents at once in the final duel.

Lu Ziqi listened to Lu Ningfeng's words, his sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, as if he was a little curious, and said with a smile: "Cousin, you are very confident in your Taoist partner's strength."

"nature."

Lu Ningfeng nodded calmly.

No one knows the girl's talent and strength better than him, especially now that she is definitely practicing and improving herself, working hard for the Lu family heir competition.

You can attack together with your Taoist partner. This is the rule of the Lu family.

After all, what the family wants is continuation, and the Taoist partner who is qualified to participate in the final decisive battle must be a genius of the same level as the future heir of the Lu family.

Being able to bring such a genius back to the Lu family is a skill. What's wrong with having a little privilege?

If anyone is dissatisfied, he will go and kidnap one back.

From the very beginning, Lu Ningfeng had planned to fight three of them alone in the final battle, and take Xiaoxue with him.

That's why he didn't bother to pay attention to Lu Yunsheng. After all, he didn't even think about competing with him in leadership ability. It was a waste of time.

"The purpose of our Lu family competition is to pick out the strongest genius. If you don't have this mentality, how can you talk about the word strongest?"

Lu Ziqi smiled confidently, full of vigor and elegance.

Lu Ningfeng nodded slightly, thoughtfully. He didn't have the ambition to pursue the strongest. After all, he couldn't even beat his sister.

Even though that little girl couldn't beat him, she was always the first to beg for mercy...

Well... you're thinking too far ahead.

Lu Ningfeng came back to his senses and looked at Lu Ziqi.

If it weren't for Xiaoxue, this adopted cousin would probably be the destined leader of the Lu family's revival.

But I have no way of knowing what Lu Ziqi’s fate is like. Is he a child of destiny?

After all, according to the script of the original body Lu Ningfeng, he was able to survive in the end when facing the child of destiny thanks to his elderly parents, and it was highly likely that he would not be able to become the head of the family.

As for the remaining three people, Lu Longcheng is a general but not a commander, and Lu Yunsheng is at most a military strategist. He knows a lot but is not proficient and strong enough to suppress the others.

The only one Lu Ningfeng is not sure he can fight with is Lu Ziqi.

It’s a pity that he already has Xiaoxue. No matter whether Lu Ziqi is the son of destiny or not, Xiaoxue has already been confirmed as the daughter of destiny.

It’s hard to say who will win in a fight between destiny, but what if Xiaoxue brings along her destiny villain?

Just like what’s popular on the blue planet, you can mess with Pleasant Goat, and you can also mess with Big Big Wolf.

But if you offend both of them at the same time, you will be in big trouble.

"My cousin is a man of high character. As his younger brother, I can't take all the benefits for myself. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Lu Ningfeng took out a storage ring and placed it on the table.

Regardless of what the future holds, in Lu Ningfeng's opinion, Lu Ziqi is definitely worth investing in.

Ten thousand high-quality spirit stones is almost a year's share for a prospective candidate like this.

As for why giving spirit stones.

This guy also practices the Soul Devouring Technique.

He lived alone in a small bamboo garden at the foot of the mountain, firstly to seek some peace and quiet, and secondly, because he was really poor...

"Cousin, aren't you afraid of the enemy?"

Lu Ziqi looked at Lu Ningfeng with a smile.

"My cousin has confidence in himself, and I have confidence in 'us' as well."

Lu Ningfeng smiled calmly and looked at Lu Ziqi calmly.

They stared at each other for a long time and then smiled.

The two of them had a very pleasant conversation, and their relationship seemed to have returned to their youth. It was not until the evening that Lu Ningfeng said goodbye and left.

At the end of the day, Lu Ningfeng had a new understanding of these three competitors.

Lu Yunsheng, you naughty boy, just give him a beating.

He is suitable for the family elders' council, and the right thing to do is to use his ability to scheme against others against the outside world.

Lu Longcheng is a brave general, and his followers are also extraordinary. They put righteousness first. It depends on whether Xiaoxue can cure Lu Yunye.

Lu Ziqi, a scholar? A seeker of truth?

Lu Ningfeng thought for a moment and shook his head slightly, feeling that it was not quite accurate.

Although no one knows why he wants to become stronger, his determination to become stronger is extremely firm.

"Master, have you gained anything?"

Meng Yao looked at the slight curve on the corner of her young master's mouth and asked softly.

Lu Ningfeng nodded and said with a smile: "Of course."

"Then congratulations, Master."

Mengyao covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Well, go home. We will leave the day after tomorrow."

Lu Ningfeng looked towards the north for a long time, then he smiled faintly and flew into the air.

"Yes, Master."

Meng Yao's figure was as light as the fluttering wings of a butterfly, and she easily followed Lu Ningfeng half a step behind him.

"Master, do you still need a maid to sleep with you?"

"cough……"

Lu Ningfeng's figure suddenly staggered in the air.

"Sister Mengyao, don't talk nonsense..."

"The young master dislikes the servant."

The most gentle Mengyao actually showed the most resentful look at this moment.

It's even worse than Mengyan.

Lu Ningfeng's scalp tingled as he watched, so he had to speed up and fly forward as if he was escaping.

She is really talking nonsense.

Before my original body started practicing and had the concept of seclusion, there would be a maid to serve me every night when I went to bed...

One a day.

Lu Ningfeng felt disappointed.

Even though he had obtained the memories of his original body, he still didn't understand how that guy had managed to endure it.

Is it really crooked?

Could it be that he has hidden some memories that I haven't found yet?
