After four scumbags, I ran away

Lu Ren was the first person to meet Mu's family. In the original plot line, he and Shi Yan were in a cold war at this time, so naturally he would not participate in this charity auction.

Standing beside Shi Yan, he seemed to be indifferent, and had no interest in this kind of business greetings, but in fact, his attention was always on the conversation between the two of them.

Lu Ren found that the head of the herdsman seemed a little afraid of Shi Yan.There is nothing unusual in the words, it is a very decent communication.

Details, however, do not lie.

When Shi Yan stretched out his hand, Mu Yi suddenly took a step back, the glass in his hand shook, and a few drops of wine in the glass spilled out.

This is a very rude behavior, but Shi Yan's expression did not change at all, and he continued.

He raised his hand and patted Mu Yi's shoulder, said with a smile: "If you have long hair, it would be bad if your wife misunderstands you when you go back."

Mu Yi squeezed out a smile and nodded: "Thank you, thank you."

Lu Ren, who had watched all this from the sidelines, thought it was a bit interesting, what did Shi Yan do to cause the Patriarch of the Mu family to be so afraid.

The Mu family is also a family of ancient martial arts. Although the Mu family's master's cultivation is not as good as Shi Yan's, he can be regarded as a master.

As an ancient warrior, sometimes the body's instinctive reaction is faster than the brain. From the details of many muscle movements, one can infer the true emotions hidden under the mask.

A martial artist's instinctive reaction cannot be fooled.

Thinking about it further, Mu Qingtong left because of family struggles. If the head of the Mu family was so afraid of Shi Yan, then he wanted Bai Yueguang to come back, but it was just a matter of saying.

Why did Mu Qingtong stay outside all this time?This can be interpreted as a plot arrangement, but it is too illogical.

"What's the matter, are you bored? I'll take you out to get some air."

Lu Ren came back to his senses, seeing Shi Yan signaled Assistant Zhang to step forward and stop the person who came to greet him.

But he didn't buy it, and said, "I'll go around by myself, I don't feel comfortable with you by my side."

Shi Yan nodded; "Okay, I'll come to you when the meeting starts."

Lu Ren had already turned around at this time, shaking his hands behind his back impatiently.

The auction was held in a private villa, and the garden outside was done in a classical style.Pavilions, terraces and pavilions are full of twists and turns, and turning a corner is a unique experience.

Lu Ren walked around for a while, and found a pavilion to sit and watch the fish.These koi have been raised for some years, and they are fat and strong. Under the rippling waves, they are colorful and beautiful.

It's a pity that when you are interested, you will always be disturbed by others.

"Are you still in the mood to feed the fish?"

When Lu Ren turned his head, he suddenly felt a headache.

The person here is someone I have met before, Qiu Ya.

Lu Ren leaned lazily on the railing, rolled his eyelids: "If you have something to say, don't beat around the bush."

"You!" Qiu Ya wanted to be angry, but she thought that Lu Ren had dealt with Ge Hui so neatly that day, and even made him kneel down mercilessly.

She felt that Lu Ren was a villain, and he would do it as soon as he said it, and he couldn't be messed with.

"Do you know Mu Qingtong?"

Lu Ren raised his eyebrows, showing some interest.

He said, how could Qiu Ya, a person who is so out of reach, appear at this time? It turned out that he came to promote the plot.

"Yeah. I've seen him in the Hall of Fame. He seems to be a very powerful senior."

Seeing that Lu Ren's attitude seemed to be good, Qiu Ya felt relieved when she mentioned her throat, and continued, "Actually, when I went to look for you that day, I couldn't see that you had been kept in the dark."

"Oh."

"It's gone?" Qiu Ya was dumbfounded and almost didn't answer.

Lu Ren: "Then you continue?"

The more Qiu Ya thought about it, the worse she was. She originally wanted to see Lu Ren being hit hard, but the scene in front of her was completely beyond her expectations.

It's just that the conversation has already started, and it's not easy to run away after talking halfway, that would be even more embarrassing.

Qiu Ya sorted out her words, and continued: "My family has actually been matching me and Mr. Shi, but I heard a piece of news. Shi Yan has always had someone in his heart since he was a teenager."

Coming, Lu Ren was suddenly excited.

On the surface, he was listening carefully, but he was actually communicating with Xiaojun: "Tell me, with such a big change, the plot correction mechanism will suffer a lot?"

Xiao Jun: [That's for sure, Shi Yan's accessories should have led to Bai Yueguang's information, but after you manipulated it, only the few female supporting roles who appeared on the scene could bring this information.It is considered a major deviation from the plot, and the energy consumed to break it back must be huge. 】

While listening to Xiaojun's words, Lu Ren looked at Qiu Ya with more and more satisfaction.He doesn't have any hostility towards this girl, everyone is a tool person, they can be regarded as colleagues.

Qiu Ya was a little scared by Lu Ren's eyes, and she said in a lower voice: "Well, if you don't want to hear it, I won't say it."

Lu Ren smiled, and said casually: "I want to hear it, I care so much about Shi Yan, how can I not listen."

"Then, then I'll just say it?" Qiu Ya continued, "That person is Mu Qingtong, it seems that he saved Mr. Shi when he was a child."

Lu Ren suddenly remembered something and asked, "Then when did they meet each other?"

Qiu Ya thought for a while, and said, "I heard that it was not long after Mr. Shi returned to Shi's house."

"Where does Mu Qingtong leave?"

"Probably... three or four years later? I don't know too well. The Mu Family shy away from this matter."

After listening, Lu Ren smiled and thanked: "Thank you so much for reminding me, the auction is about to start, I'm leaving."

Qiu Ya looked at Lu Ren's back, feeling a little puzzled.She didn't even know why when she first saw Lu Ren at the meeting place, she felt a surge of evil fire and insisted on coming out to tell him about Mu Qingtong.

I always feel that she seems to be doing something meaningless.That Lu Ren obviously doesn't care at all.

Qiu Ya felt more and more that the speculation that Ge Hui said that day was very reasonable, isn't it really the gold master and canary on the surface?There is also blood and deep hatred hidden in it?

The gossip cells in her whole body suddenly became active, and she decided to go back to her good sisters to have a good discussion.At critical moments, she can still provide information to Lu Ren.

***

Lu Ren walked along the long corridor towards the venue, thinking about what Qiu Ya said just now, he always felt that something was not quite right.

Shi Yan returned to Shi's house at the age of 17.

At the age of 20, he fully controlled the power of the Shi family, and at the age of 22, he became a famous ancient warrior in the entire Baihu City and even Xizhou.

Lu Ren also met Shi Yan when he was 22 years old.

If Mu Qingtong left three or four years after Shi Yan returned to Shi's family, things would become a little strange.

At that time, Shi Yan was already in power, how could he not help Mu Qingtong, but let him leave Xizhou because of the family struggle?

Could it be to protect Bai Yueguang?Or is there some bloody plot like a stand-in to ward off disasters?

Lu Ren didn't know how Shi Yan came to control the Shi family, but to control a huge Guwu family in a short period of time, he had to use some thunderous means.

During this period, there will definitely be many enemies.

Lu Ren thought as he walked.The more I think about it, the more I feel that it's a mess. The plot of being a stand-in to prevent disasters doesn't fit Shi Yan's personality when I think about it carefully.

He is a man with a strong desire to control, he shouldn't...

[Lu Ren, Shi Yan is in front. 】Xiao Jun spoke suddenly.

After Xiao Jun devoured the plot correction system in the previous line, it became more and more useful, and he could even sense where the Son of Destiny was at a certain distance.

Lu Ren stopped abruptly and did not rush forward.Although it is very likely that Shi Yan just came out to look for him, there may be additional gains if you are careful.

Lu Renguo disconnected the five senses PLUS, and slowly approached the direction indicated by Xiaojun with the turtle's breath method.

Sure enough, he heard that Shi Yan seemed to be on the phone. The distance was a bit far away, so he couldn't hear the details clearly.

Lu Ren could only hear a few sporadic words clearly.

"Change?"

"Ok, I know."

"Send the person back and inform the shepherd..."

No matter how much content there was, Lu Ren didn't hear clearly again, and Shi Yan didn't talk for a long time, so he hung up the phone quickly.

When Lu Ren heard this, he also withdrew the turtle's breathing method and went forward.

Shi Yan walked over from the long corridor, his brows were slightly frowned, and his expression was a little worried.However, the moment he saw Lu Ren, he returned to his previous appearance.

All emotions are hidden under the gentle and elegant mask.

Lu Ren thought he knew Shi Yan well enough, but when he came back this time, he found that he couldn't understand Shi Yan more and more.

For the first time, he became interested in Shi Yan's past, what kind of childhood was it that would create such a conflicting character.

***

That night, after Lu Ren came back from the auction, he dreamed again.

He awoke with a shock.Before Lu Ren's consciousness could react, his body had turned over and jumped to the side quickly.

A huge rock fell down and landed on the spot where Lu Ren was lying just now.

In the entire space, a burst of dust was raised due to the shattering of the boulder.Lu Ren frowned and coughed a few times when he was choked.

When the dust fell to the ground and the surrounding environment became clear, he realized that he seemed to be in a huge underground cave.

Such places are usually inhabited by extremely dangerous alien beasts.Lu Ren looked up, and sure enough, above the boulder that fell, he saw a knife deeply embedded in it.

Sure enough, someone was fighting fiercely, and the weapon flew out, which cut off the boulder.

With the experience of the previous two times, Lu Ren immediately thought of Xiao Jiu's child.

Xiao Jiu lost his weapon, so the situation must be very critical, Lu Ren didn't care about it, and went straight forward to find it.

There are messy fighting marks along the way, which shows how fierce the fighting was, but Lu Ren never found anyone, nor did he find any strange beasts.

The traces of the fight finally disappeared on the banks of the underground river.

Lu Ren squatted down, checked the traces by the river, and confirmed that the man and the beast rolled into the river together during the fierce battle.

Time was running out, Lu Ren didn't care too much, jumped into the river, followed the direction of the river and swam across.The underground river is fast-moving, and Lu Ren's cultivation base is high enough to hold his breath for a long time in the water, so the speed is naturally fast enough.

After swimming forward in the narrow river channel for an unknown amount of time, the water finally calmed down, and Lu Ren saw a large piece of flat land in front of him, with traces of a fight.

People should have come ashore from here, Lu Ren followed the traces ashore, and searched all the way there again.

Turning a corner, he saw Xiao Jiu.

That child was pressing on a strange beast, with five fingers forming claws, and stabbed fiercely into the throat of the strange beast.There was also blood on his mouth. It was not difficult to deduce how the scar on the neck of the alien beast was caused.

This is a way of fighting like a beast, what's the matter with this child?

Lu Ren stood there, seeing that the strange beast stopped moving, Xiao Jiu was sure to win, so he called out: "Xiao Jiu, is that you?"

Xiao Jiu, who was extremely aggressive a second ago and pinched the beast's throat ruthlessly, turned her head stiffly and blinked.

Afterwards, he stood up, sprinted towards the dark passage ahead, and disappeared.
