<strong>Chapter 1169: Chapter 1162: Shocking News</strong>


    Lu Bowen walked into the pavilion from outside, nodded at Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing, and then respectfully said to Old Sir Lu, “Dad.”


    “Do you have something to discuss with me today?” Old Sir Lu looked at Lu Bowen and said with a faint smile.


    “Uncle.”


    At this moment, both Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing stood up and respectfully called out to Lu Bowen. Since entering the Lu Family, among so many people, only Lu Bowen’s family had spoken for them, so they naturally deserved this respectful address.


    “Mm!”


    Lu Bowen smiled and nodded, his gaze falling on Old Sir Lu. “Dad, I have something to discuss with Tianxing. I wonder if that’s alright.”


    Lu Tianxing was slightly stunned upon hearing this. What could Lu Bowen possibly need to discuss with him?


    ,


    Old Sir Lu waved his hand directly after hearing Lu Bowen’s words and said, “Since you have matters to discuss, then go ahead! I have Zhiqing with me.”


    “Alright.”


    Lu Bowen nodded, his gaze falling on Lu Tianxing, “Tianxing, shall we go for a walk?”


    “Sure, no problem.”


    Lu Tianxing smiled and nodded, signaling Bai Zhiqing and Old Sir Lu to continue ying chess. He then followed Lu Bowen, heading outside.


    The two of them walked forward all the way without anyone speaking, until they stopped at a garden set up for viewing.


    Lu Tianxing admired the scenery in the garden, while Lu Bowen, standing in front, asked curiously, “Uncle, what do you need to discuss with me today?”


    Lu Bowen stopped walking, nodded, and said, “I heard you had a conflict with the Tang Familyst night and forced Tang Fengxiao to break his nephew’s leg?”


    Lu Tianxing didn’t hide anything, as it wasn’t difficult for the Lu Family to know about this matter, so he nodded and said, “Yes, what’s the matter, Uncle?”


    “Nothing.”


    Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Lu Bowen’s expression turned somewhat grim and unpleasant, muttering to himself, “It’s here, I knew it, what’s meant toe will eventuallye. I didn’t expect the Shu Tang Family to finallye; the news has leaked despite so many years passing.”


    Standing beside him, Lu Tianxing listened to Lu Bowen’s words, his brow furrowed slightly, and questioned in confusion, “Uncle, what exactly is going on? What hase, and what information has been leaked?”


    Lu Bowen remained silent, only staring fixedly at Lu Tianxing, taking a deep breath and saying, “Tianxing, you don’t need to know about this matter. If possible, I hope you leave Jiangnan as quickly as you can; the farther, the better. Hide your identity, never mention you’re a Lu Family member, and live as a normal person.”


    Upon hearing these words from Lu Bowen, Lu Tianxing’s expression furrowed slightly.


    “Uncle, what do you mean by this?” Lu Tianxing demanded, staring intensely at Lu Bowen.


    Lu Bowen took a deep breath, his eyes slightly reddening, his body gently trembling: “Because Old Sir’s time is short.”


    Lu Bowen’s words sounded like a thunderp in Lu Tianxing’s ears, making him tremble uncontrobly. How could it be that Old Sir Lu’s time is running short? Old Sir Lu seems healthy and robust, not at all like someone with little time left; how is this possible?


    Yet, if these words came from someone else’s mouth, he might not believe it, but they came from Lu Bowen, making it difficult for him not to believe.


    “Uncle, you’re lying to me, aren’t you? You’re joking with me, aren’t you?”


    Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, his gaze like lightning falling upon Lu Bowen’s face, trying to discern whether he was deceiving him.


    Although his time spent with Old Sir Lu wasn’t very long, Lu Tianxing could clearly feel Old Sir Lu’s sincere concern for him deep from his heart. Old Sir Lu genuinely liked him as his grandson, not just pretentiously.


    But now Lu Bowen was telling him that Old Sir Lu’s time is limited; how could Lu Tianxing ept this?


    Lu Bowen looked at Lu Tianxing, letting out a bitter smile: “I have no reason to lie to you. Not only do I know, perhaps even Lu Hongda knows, so that’s why I urge you to stay far away from the Lu Family; you will surely die if you remain.”


    Lu Tianxing didn’t say anything further; however, his expression was somewhat lost and desperate. He had just found his family, yet before he could enjoy kinship, everything was about to vanish, leaving him struggling to ept it.


    Lu Bowen didn’t speak, knowing that this news was extremely hard for anyone to ept, and it was not surprising that Lu Tianxing was struggling.


    Time passed slowly, and after not knowing how long, Lu Tianxing finally spoke, his voice trembling slightly, “Uncle, what exactly is going on? Grandpa’s body clearly has no injuries and is robust; how could this happen?”


    “s, it’s a root of illness left from over twenty years ago.”


    Lu Bowen sighed lightly, saying, “Back then, when the news of your father’s death reached the Lu Family, Old Sir flew into a rage, killing his way into Beijing with a single knife. Experiencing countless fierce battles, especially when Old Sir attacked the Yang Family alone. The Yang Family was once a top family in Beijing, with numerous experts, and two Yang Family ancestors matched Old Sir’s strength. Despite Old Sir’s prowess, he killed many Yang Family members, even one of their ancestors died by his hand. Ultimately, because of the appearance of Ji Xingyun, the previous leader of the Yanhuang Group, Old Sir finally ceased and left.”


    “And this has to do with Old Sir’s health?”


    “It does.”


    Lu Bowen nced at Lu Tianxing, slowly speaking, “It was rumored back then that Old Sir left the Yang Family only because Ji Xingyun appeared. In reality, Old Sir was heavily injured, and Ji Xingyun saved his life. After returning to the Lu Family, Old Sir was nearly unheble from his serious injuries, which is partly why Old Sir hasn’t made a move for over twenty years.”


    “It’s been over twenty years; shouldn’t it have been fully healed by now? Why is it like this?”


    “Because of a Sword Qi.”


    Lu Hongda sighed and said, “Back then, although Old Sir killed a Yang Family ancestor, he was heavily injured by another Yang Family ancestor and a Sword Qi remained in him, like a maggot in one’s bones, crippling inside him, constantly damaging his body. In his younger days, Old Sir could suppress it with his great strength, but as he ages, it bes impossible to suppress. In your time with Old Sir, haven’t you noticed the asional True Qi vibrations from him?”
