Refiner Master [Rebirth]

As soon as the two stepped into He's residence, they were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.

The original extremely luxurious layout of the He Mansion now looks bleak. The red lacquered columns neatly arranged in the corridors have faded from their gorgeous color, and they look very old, obviously in disrepair; the carefully trimmed exotic flowers and plants are now Weeds are overgrown and it looks messy; even the once clear Mirror Pool has become turbid now, and you can smell a stench even standing far away. The thousands of koi that have been searched for by all means are now nowhere to be found.

The prosperity and splendor of the past, and the decay and decadence of today, compare and feel even more desolate.

Although Lu Ming didn't have much affection for He Fu, but seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel emotional.The current status of the He Mansion is probably not as good as that of ordinary aristocrats. Without a backbone, the He Mansion is just a crumbling high-rise, which can be turned into ruins in an instant.

There was a trace of pain in He Qingqiu's eyes, and he stopped on the spot, looking at everything in front of him, feeling a sense of desolation in his heart.

The domestic servant lying on the ground was about to raise his head and curse, but suddenly his eyes widened in the next second, his lips trembled, and after a long time, he burst into tears: "Eldest Young Master! Second Young Master! You are finally back! "

He Qingqiu took two steps forward, helped the servant up, and carefully identified the other's appearance.He Qingqiu looked at the nearly 30-year-old man in front of him, and the doubts in his eyes gradually turned into excitement: "Are you Xiaojun?"

The servant nodded with tears in his eyes, took a step back suddenly, kowtowed vigorously in the direction of He Qingqiu and He Qingci, and begged while crying: "The two young masters have traveled a long distance, Xiao Jun shouldn't bother you now The two young masters are quiet. But now the He family is being oppressed, and the nobles of the aristocratic family often come to trouble the He family and do everything they can to humiliate them. Almost all the servants in the He family have fled, and several elders have passed away one after another. It's a pot of loose sand, and I ask the two young masters to revive the prestige of He Mansion, so that those aristocrats from aristocratic families can also taste the bitter fruit!"

He Qingqiu sighed, helped the servant up, and said, "Why didn't you inform the two of us when the He residence became like this?"

Xiao Jun's expression suddenly changed when he heard the words, and he said in surprise: "More than ten years ago, after the Patriarch disappeared for no reason, the two young masters left the He Mansion one after another. It didn't take long for the He Family to lose one after another in the clan refining competition. Secretly united to suppress the He family. The elders vaguely felt that the momentum was not right, so they released the He family's unique message butterfly every few days, hoping that the two young masters would come back to take charge of the overall situation sooner, but for several years, the two young masters did not agree. There is no news, and even the master sent out to find the young master has disappeared for no reason. Could it be that the two young masters have never received any news from the messenger butterfly?"

Lu Ming and He Qingqiu looked at each other, their eyes were blank, they obviously didn't know about it.

Xiao Jun gritted his teeth and said: "That's right, those clans must have secretly intercepted all the messenger butterflies in order to completely suppress the He family. Now that I think about it, those masters have also been plotted against."

Lu Ming frowned and said, "Even if someone intercepts the letter halfway, it shouldn't be like this for every letter."

He Qingqiu said with a gloomy face: "There must be an inner ghost in the family, secretly revealing the news about He's residence to outsiders."

Xiaojun's expression changed, his lips moved, he hesitated to speak.

Seeing Xiao Jun's expression, Lu Ming thought to himself that the other party might be hiding something, so he quietly observed.He Qingqiu said anxiously: "What about the mother? How is she?"

Xiao Jun looked at He Qingqiu, his expression changed again and again, finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Ma'am, she remarried!"

He Qingqiu's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he wanted to say something, but he still drooped his shoulders weakly.

Seeing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart.This woman has always been cruel, ruthless and merciless. Seeing that the He family was about to collapse, she quickly found her next family. With her good looks and the support of the Liu family, remarriage is not difficult.

Lu Ming stepped forward, patted He Qingqiu on the shoulder, and said lightly: "I'll think about it later, the clan refining competition is about to begin, and if the He family wants to regain their former status, we have to win the competition." You have to be the first one. There is an inner ghost in the He family, presumably the major families have already heard that you and I have returned to the He family to preside over the overall situation, you and I need to be more cautious in our words and deeds, and think long-term."

He Qingqiu forced a smile when he heard the words, "Brother is absolutely right."

Lu Ming nodded, turned around and said to Xiao Jun who was beside him: "At every moment, let everyone come to the He Family Ancestral Hall, I have something to explain."

Xiaojun immediately answered yes, and hurried down to deliver the letter.

Lu Ming looked at He Qingqiu, who was sluggish at the side, and reprimanded him with a dark expression: "The He family is trapped in this situation. As the second young master of the He family, you should not bear the brunt of it and find a way to solve it. Instead, who is showing this appearance? ? Relatives hate, enemies fast, is this the result you want."

He Qingqiu was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at Lu Ming slightly in a daze.He looked at his elder brother's jade-like face, and all kinds of emotions suddenly surged in his heart.Time seemed to go back to that evening 12 years ago. His elder brother, whom everyone could bully, seemed to have changed suddenly. The cowardice and forbearance in the past seemed to erupt completely at that moment. Those bright and tenacious eyes made him In the past ten years, he has never dared to forget a moment.It seems that it is the blazing flame, and looking at it for a moment can burn people.

The flame in those eyes has never been extinguished at this moment.It was so beautiful and dazzling that he couldn't help feeling ashamed just by looking at it.

He Qingqiu quietly clenched his fists, suppressed the remorse and guilt in his heart, and said with a relieved smile: "Don't worry, brother, Qingqiu will definitely not let you down."

Money can't buy a prodigal son back.Lu Ming looked at the once arrogant and domineering young man, but now his temperament has changed drastically, and he is gradually on the right track, and he feels a little relieved in his heart.

============

At a quarter of an hour, everyone gathered in the He Family Ancestral Hall.

There are hundreds of people in the He family, but now there are only a few dozen people left.In addition to the loyal servants, there should be an insider who secretly delivers the news.

Lu Ming looked around at the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "The He Mansion is in danger now, it will be destroyed at any moment, thanks to everyone who has never left, you are still willing to stay and help the He Mansion at such a critical moment, please accept Qingci's thanks."

Say it, Lu Ming clasped his fists and bowed in a bow.

Elder Liu, who had stayed in the He Mansion for many years, immediately had tears in his eyes, and said excitedly: "Why did the young master say that? When I first entered the He Mansion, I was still an ignorant young man. It has already become the old man's home, even if the sky falls and the ground falls, or there are mountains of swords and flames, the old man will swear to stand by He's house to the death."

At that moment, several servants of the He family expressed their sincerity, Lu Ming said: "The He family will fight against the major families of the Artifact Sect in the future. One can imagine the difficulty of the road. If anyone wants to leave the He family, they can go to Xiaojun Each person there will receive ten pieces of high-grade spar, which is enough for you to spend the rest of your life, and this can be regarded as the He family's compensation to you."

The entire hall suddenly fell silent. The servants who had expressed their loyalty just now looked at each other in blank dismay. Many people's eyes revealed the desire for high-quality crystals. Those are ten high-quality crystals. Even if they stay in He Mansion for a lifetime, they may not can earn that much money.

Seeing this scene, Elder Liu immediately said angrily: "Who said just now that he would never leave He's mansion, and vowed to advance and retreat with He's mansion?! Now, are you going to go greedy for profit for only ten high-quality spirit stones! "

He Qingci gave Elder Liu a peaceful look, and then smiled lightly at everyone present: "Look at the situation, no one is wrong, Qingci will never blame anyone, everyone can take the money and leave."

As soon as He Qingci finished speaking, several servants hesitated for a moment, then stood up, gritted their teeth and said, "Young master, please forgive me for the death penalty. I still have a mother and children to support, so I really dare not abandon all fearless die."

He Qingci nodded, and said softly: "You are the pillar of the family, so there is nothing wrong with doing this. Please go to Xiaojun to collect the money and leave."

With tears in his eyes, the servant knelt down and kowtowed several times, then took the money and left.

The rest of the people present saw that they really had money to receive, so they kowtowed to He Qingci, took the money and left the hall.

After a while, apart from Lu Ming and He Qingqiu, there were only five people left.

Old Liu was trembling with anger, and said angrily, "It's really a bunch of slaves who are blind to money."

With a smile on the corner of He Qingqiu's mouth, he said with a smile: "Don't be angry, Mr. Liu. You don't need to be too aggressive. Loyalty is the best thing."

Elder Liu sighed, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked around, and said with emotion: "Second Young Master is right, but thinking of the hundreds of servants in the He Mansion in the past, how can we not look sad."

After He Qingqiu heard about it, nostalgia appeared in his eyes, and in the end he just sighed softly and didn't say anything more.

Lu Ming smiled and said: "Old Liu's words are wrong, I'm afraid these five people might not be able to keep all of them."

When Old Liu heard the words, his expression changed, and he hesitated, "What does Eldest Young Master mean?"

The smile on Lu Ming's face slowly faded away, and a murderous aura suddenly overflowed from his body, covering the entire hall after a while, and a strong sense of oppression suddenly swept over everyone at an extremely fast speed.

All the people present were greatly changed by this powerful coercion, their faces turned pale, and their bodies trembled involuntarily, almost unable to stand still.

Everyone was terrified, their legs could no longer support them and fell to the ground, their brains went blank for a moment, and only one thought echoed in their minds, the young master has already achieved the level of distraction!What happened in just over ten years!
