Chapter 1206: Chapter 1199: Leaving Jiangnan

”Uh-huh.”

Hearing Old Master Lu’s inquiry, Lu Tianxing nodded gently, his voice filled with a strong sense of reluctance: ”Grandpa, Zhiqing and I have some things to handle back in Modu, so we have to leave.”

Old Master Lu looked at Lu Tianxing’s expression and smiled softly: ”Don’t act like a daughter, just go if you have things to do! Just remember to come back and visit this old man whenever you have time.”

”I know.”

Lu Tianxing nodded gently: ”Grandpa, take good care of yourself, don’t overwork yourself. I’m waiting for you to name your great-grandchild in the future!”

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Old Master Lu was slightly taken aback and then burst into laughter: ”Tianxing, with what you’ve said, this old man will hold on until my great-grandchild is born, but you and Zhiqing better not make me wait too long.”

”Don’t worry, we won’t keep you waiting long. I’ll definitely let you hold a chubby great-grandchild soon,” Lu Tianxing chuckled.

”Lu Tianxing, how do you know it will be a son?” Bai Zhiqing, sitting beside him, glared at Lu Tianxing.

”Hehe, darling, I’m just giving an example. Whether it’s a boy or a girl, it doesn’t matter. If it’s a son, I’ll make him powerful enough to rule the world. If it’s a daughter, I’ll make her the happiest little princess in the world,” Lu Tianxing said proudly.

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Old Master Lu laughed heartily again: ”You’re right. The Lu Family’s descendants never bow to anyone. Tianxing, remember this: the Lu Family fears no one. A temporary retreat doesn’t mean a lifetime of retreat. Sometimes, holding back is just for a better comeback. Do you understand?”

”Grandpa, I understand.”

Lu Tianxing nodded heavily.

”As long as you understand.”

Old Master Lu nodded with a smile, looking at Bai Zhiqing beside Lu Tianxing: ”Zhiqing, if Tianxing ever dares to bully you, remember to come back and find this old man. I’ll make him pay and hang him up for a beating.”

”Uh-huh!”

Bai Zhiqing felt a slight sadness welling up in her heart, and she nodded firmly: ”Grandpa, if Lu Tianxing bullies me, I will definitely come back and ask for your help in getting revenge.”

Old Master Lu nodded with a smile.

Lu Tianxing looked at Old Master Lu, took a deep breath, and said, ”Grandpa, since you don’t have much to do at the Lu Family, why don’t you come with me to Modu?”

”Yes, Grandpa, my grandfather is waiting to play chess with you! Why don’t you come with us to Modu?” Bai Zhiqing chimed in beside him.

Even though Bai Zhiqing hadn’t spent a lot of time with Old Master Lu, she could clearly feel his care for them, treating her entirely as his granddaughter-in-law rather than an outsider.

Looking at the expressions of Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing, Old Master Lu sighed lightly and waved his hand: ”Forget it, let’s wait for next time! If you have time to come over next time, I’ll go with you to Modu then.”

”Grandpa, you promised me yesterday that you’d come with us to Modu. Why are you putting it off again? You aren’t planning to go back on your word, are you?” Bai Zhiqing pouted, acting like a little girl, and coquettishly pleaded with Old Master Lu.

Old Master Lu looked at Bai Zhiqing dotingly, chuckling: ”Next time, next time, Grandpa will definitely go to Modu. Grandpa always keeps his word and won’t lie to you. But don’t be annoyed by this old man’s trouble when the time comes.”

”It’s settled then. You have to come to Modu next time, or else I’ll pluck your beard,” Bai Zhiqing jokingly threatened Old Master Lu with feigned fierceness.

”Alright, if I deceive you again next time, I’ll be a puppy.”

”Then let’s make a pinky promise.”

”Alright.”

Looking at Bai Zhiqing acting like a little girl to make Old Master Lu happy, Lu Tianxing’s face showed a trace of warmth, and he secretly resolved in his heart that he must cure Old Master Lu no matter what, never letting this kind and respectable elder leave him.

And just when Lu Tianxing was lost in thought, Old Master Lu’s voice sounded in his ear: ”Tianxing, you little brat, why are you still standing there daydreaming? Hurry over here to play chess with me. I’m telling you, Zhiqing has already promised not to help you this time. Hmph, this time, you’ll see how I wipe you out completely and show you not to act so arrogantly in front of me.”

Hearing this, Lu Tianxing snapped back to reality and said with a smile: ”Alright, Grandpa, you’re celebrating too early. Yesterday I was just letting you win. Today, I’ll show you my true skills.”

Speaking, Lu Tianxing walked over with a cheerful smile.

”Zhiqing, set up the chessboard for me. Today I will leave him with no escape.”

Old Master Lu waved his arms, as if strategizing with great confidence.

Bai Zhiqing showed a faint smile, said nothing, and just walked into the small pavilion, setting up the chessboard, and sat beside it, her face filled with warmth looking at Lu Tianxing and Old Master Lu playing chess.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the small courtyard became lively, with Lu Tianxing occasionally wanting to retract a move and Old Master Lu blowing his beard and glaring, their voices echoing around, a faint warmth wafting through the small courtyard.

Time flows like sand through your fingers, always slipping away quietly when you’re not paying attention. In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Early the next morning, after Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing woke up, they left the Lu Family quietly without disturbing anyone, not because they didn’t want to say goodbye to Old Master Lu but because they didn’t want to add another layer of sadness to their departure.

However, Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing didn’t notice that, as they left the Lu Family, from a concealed spot, Old Master Lu and Lu Bowen stood quietly, watching their departing figures in silent contemplation.

”Dad, Tianxing has left,” Lu Bowen said softly to Old Master Lu beside him.

”Yes, I know. It’s for the best that he and Zhiqing have left; the Lu Family is ultimately not a place to stay long, staying will only lead to death, leaving might offer a glimmer of hope.”

Old Master Lu’s face was cold, no longer showing the kindness and benevolence he had when with Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing, only a strong sense of authority and murderous intent: ”Bowen, have you prepared what I told you to prepare?”

”It’s all ready.”

Lu Bowen nodded, a trace of sadness on his face: ”Dad, is there really no other way?”
