As soon as Lu Ke raised his head, he met Yan Lei head-on, and standing beside Yan Lei was a middle-aged man with a long beard who looked to be in his fifties.

Lu Ke was wondering about the identity of the middle-aged man, when he heard Yan Lei introduce: "This is Master Xu."

Xu Lan also just stepped forward to salute: "I have seen my father."

Master Xu?Father?

Lu Ke looked at Xu Rong, already understood the identity of this person in his heart, and said politely: "Hello, I have heard about the great reputation of the master for a long time, and it is a great pleasure to meet you today."

"Where, it's just a vain name." Xu Rong touched his beard, turned his head to ask Yan Lei with a smile, "Then this must be Mr. Lu's little grandson?"

Yan Lei: "Exactly."

"En." Xu Rong nodded his chin approvingly, and said politely, "As expected of a son from a famous family, with both ability and political integrity, and another outstanding talent, Boss Lu is really lucky."

Yan Lei smiled slightly, but changed the subject at the right time: "Speaking of Mr. Lu, I will have to trouble Master Xu a lot later. If the medicine can cure the disease and restore the youth, Mr. Lu will definitely give you a generous gift."

Xu Rong waved his hand: "Hey, brother Yan is serious, Xu must do his best."

Yan Lei: "Then I'll first thank you, Master Lu, for your help. I'm not very grateful."

"You're welcome." Xu Rong smiled modestly, his eyes fell on Xu Lan, and he asked, "It's getting late, where are you going?"

"Oh, I'm planning to accompany Lu's elder brother to visit his friend." Xu Lan handed the food box in front of her, just where it could be seen, "By the way, bring some food over there."

Xu Rong glanced at the food box, and the moment he raised his eyes, he met Xu Lan's eyes.

There was a flash of treachery in Xu Lan's eyes. Xu Rong immediately understood, frowned, and said, "Didn't I tell you to prepare things for tomorrow's trip? Are you ready?"

"Ah!" Xu Lan's eyes widened suddenly, pretending to be surprised, and biting her fingers at a loss, "I'm sorry, I... I seem to have forgotten."

After finishing speaking, Xu Lan looked at Lu Ke in embarrassment: "Brother Lu, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you there for the time being."

Lu Ke took the food box from Xu Lan's hand spontaneously: "It's okay, I can go there by myself, and you can do your work. I just don't know where my friend lives?"

"You keep going down this road, and you will be able to see it in about two or three minutes." Xu Lan pointed to the direction they were going just now, "If you can't find it, just ask the servants nearby. They'll take you there."

Lu Ke: "Well, then I won't delay your busy work."

Xu Rong sighed with hatred, and said to Yan Lei: "Look at my daughter, who is usually playful, and now she almost delays the business, which is not worrying at all. Brother Yan, On my side, I will go back with her to prepare first, so as not to cause any other moths to ruin tomorrow's big event."

Yan Lei: "Okay, since that's the case, we won't delay you."

The father and daughter sang together and walked away one after another.

Yan Lei approached Lu Ke and said, "Master Sun's friend lives very close to me. If you don't mind, I can take you there."

Although Lu Ke didn't want to have anything to do with the Lu family, but he wouldn't reject people thousands of miles away every time. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Yan."

On the way, Yan Lei suddenly asked in a low voice: "I don't know what Young Master Sun thinks of the master of the Xu family?"

Lu Ke didn't quite understand Yan Lei's meaning: "What do you think?"

"Hmm." Yan Lei lowered his voice again, "Master Sun thinks the Xu family...is trustworthy? Can it help Mr. Lu's illness?"

Lu Ke suddenly realized that Yan Lei was asking himself about Xu Rong's truth.

Does this mean that Yan Lei still trusts him a lot?Or is it just testing him?

Lu Ke was noncommittal, and asked him instead: "Has Uncle Yan observed the servants of the Xu family?"

However, for ordinary people, in fact, few people will deliberately look at the shadow of others.

Yan Lei asked suspiciously: "Slave? What's wrong?"

Lu Ke didn't say anything about the shadow, but let it go: "It's boring to say it, you can take a look for yourself in a while."

Yan Lei didn't know why: What's so good about shadows?

Not long after, a servant carrying a lantern came in front of them.

Then Yan Lei noticed this time-these servants had no shadows!

If it is normal to see Lu Ke test the poison with a snake head needle at first, but there is no shadow?is it possible?

To be honest, Yan Lei has never seen such an incredible thing.

When the servant walked away, the burly man, who was fearless before, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead, and asked Lu Ke, "This...what's going on here?"

Lu Ke shook his head: "If you want me to explain, then I don't know. But if you are asking me about the strength of the Xu family, I think this should explain everything. What do you think?"

Yan Lei was still in shock: "But this is too weird, is there such a weird thing in this world?"

Lu Ke smiled, and said to himself: There are so many weird things in this world, and there is only no shadow, what is it?

Thinking of this, Lu Ke suddenly remembered the panic he had when he noticed this before, and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

But fortunately, he restrained himself at the time, otherwise, wouldn't it be just plain disturbing Lord Siqing's rest.

Lu Ke: "Uncle Yan, don't be too flustered. Although I don't know where these servants come from, since the Xu family has lived with them for so long, there must be nothing to be afraid of."

Yan Lei agreed: "What Young Master Sun said makes sense, but just now Young Master Sun laughed at me, I feel ashamed."

"Anyone will panic when they see something beyond their understanding for the first time, and there is nothing to be ashamed of." Lu Ke said, "Just get used to it."

Yan Lei couldn't help but glanced at Lu Ke: "When Young Master Sun first entered the industry, was he afraid?"

Lu Ke smiled frankly: "I'm afraid, why not? I'm still afraid now. But—"

When Lu Ke said this, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened unconsciously: "Not everything is terrible, and sometimes it is another kind of luck."

When Lu Ke said luck, he meant meeting Lu Siqing.

I remember that when I saw Lu Siqing for the first time, he was also afraid, terribly afraid, but after getting along for a long time, not only the fear disappeared, but also many unexplainable emotions.

Until now, Lu Ke could no longer remember what it was like to be afraid of Lu Siqing, and he couldn't even remember why he was afraid of Lu Siqing.

However, Yan Lei didn't pay attention to what Lu Ke said about luck at all. Instead, his head was full of answers that Lu Ke was still afraid of those things.

Then he spontaneously added Lu Ke's next sentence: But for the sake of living, so what can I do if I'm afraid, it's better to bite the bullet and work.

Yan Lei frowned, and said distressedly for no reason: "Master Sun has suffered all these years."

Lu Ke: "..."
