<h4>Chapter 1553: Chapter 1546: Southern de and Northern Spear</h4>


    Just as Lu Tianxing was about to charge forward, Bai Zhiqing suddenly opened her eyes and, gasping heavily, said, "Lu Tianxing, you... you wait a moment."


    Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing’s heart suddenly felt like it was drenched in cold water, chilling him from head to toe. At this critical moment, if a woman suddenly tells you to wait a moment, there are only two exnations. First, she is not willing; second, her period has started. The first exnation does not apply between him and Bai Zhiqing, so it must be thetter; Bai Zhiqing’s period has started.


    "Honey, you’re not going to tell me your period has started, are you? I remember the timing isn’t right."


    Seeing Lu Tianxing’s crestfallen face, a sly smile shed across Bai Zhiqing’s face. She suddenly flipped around, pinning Lu Tianxing beneath her, and blinked at him, using a dominating tone that would drive any man crazy: "You’ve been riding me for so long, this time I want to ride you. I want to be the queen."


    Lu Tianxing waspletely dumbfounded, never expecting Bai Zhiqing to say something so outrageous.


    The next moment, Lu Tianxing felt an unprecedented thrill sweep through his body, and soon, he was lost in this excitation.


    ...


    This night was destined to be a sleepless night.


    In the northern part of China, in the Qin Ind City, within the famously expensive Eight Great Passes Vi District, a standalone private vi stood there, its ancient architectural style exceptionally eye-catching.


    At this moment, inside this standalone private vi, an elderly man in his nies was sitting in his study. Under themp light, one could see that the elder had a square face; although his hair was all white and his face marked by the weariness of age, he looked spirited, with eyes seemingly clouded but asionally shing a captivating light.


    If someone were to gaze into the old man’s eyes at this time, they would immediately feel as though their innermost secrets were beingid bare with nothing able to be concealed.


    Currently, this elderly man was practicing calligraphy, the brush in his hand seemingly alive, dancing across the rice paper like dragons and snakes, each character springing to life as if etched in iron and silver hooks; one nce could make a person feel an intense sharpness.


    After a long pause, the old man slowly put down the brush in his hand, gazing intently at the three words on the rice paper, lost in thought. If anyone were standing beside him now and saw these three words, they would surely be uncontrobly astonished, for those three words unmistakably were: Jiang Hongyan, Lu Tianxing’s mother.


    The old man quietly gazed at the three words before him, his face showing a deep sense of remorse, lips quivering slightly, unable to tear his gaze away for quite some time.


    "Over twenty years have passed, Hong Yan, did you know? It’s been over twenty years since you disappeared, during which I have constantly med myself. Why didn’t I force you to learn martial arts back then? Even if you didn’t like it, had I insisted, maybe nothing would have happened. I regret it, I truly regret it."


    The elderly man murmured softly, his face with an uncoverable remorse and self-me; then, as if recalling something, his tone became somewhat relieved: "But, Hong Yan, did you know? Not long ago, the Lu Family released news that they have found your son, and your son’s name is Lu Tianxing. I don’t know if this is true, or if that bastard Lu Tiankuang deliberately deceived me, but feel at ease, I’ve already sent Cangwu to investigate this issue, and results wille soon."


    "I will never permit anyone to impersonate your son, no one. If that bastard Lu Tiankuang dare find someone to pretend to be your son in an effort to deceive me, I will make the Lu Family pay a heavy price."


    "If he truly is your son, I will treat him well, for in this world, no one will be able to do anything to him. Rest assured, if anyone dares to harm Jiang Liufeng’s grandson, I will eliminate them at all costs."


    The old man’s murmuring voice reverberated throughout the study, light yet carrying a firm conviction that left no doubt as to the certainty of his words.


    If Sima Lingyun saw this elderly man now, he would be incredibly terrified, because the old man before him was extremely formidable, to an extreme degree. Back in the day, the Old Master Lu was considered a favored son of heaven, charging into Beijing with a knife, his battle prowess impressive. Few couldpare to the Old Master Lu, but this elder before him was unquestionably among them.


    More than twenty years ago, the Old Master of Lu Family and this elder dominated the north and south, known as the Southern de and Northern Shooter, Southern de Lu Tiankuang, Northern Shooter Jiang Liufeng.


    The fact that he could be mentioned in the same breath as Old Sir Lu shows how terrifying this old man’s strength is.


    The old man muttered softly to himself, tears slid down from his cloudy eyes, his face showing a hint of longing: "More than twenty years have passed, Hong Yan, I have always med myself in my heart. If I hadn’t secluded myself to try to surpass Lu Tiankuang back then, but instead stayed by your side, maybe you wouldn’t have met any mishap. So many years have passed, I haven’t avenged you, you won’t hate me, will you?"


    After he finished speaking, the bitter smile on the old man’s face deepened: "I know you probably won’t hate me, but you will surely me me, right? Unfortunately, I also want to avenge you, but now I am already a cripple, I can’t even lift the iron spear in my hand, how can I avenge you? Hong Yan, I’m sorry."


    As the old man said this, he slowly closed his eyes. Although Jiang Hongyan was not his biological daughter, she was like one, because he had no children in his lifetime.


    Upon learning that Jiang Hongyan had met with an ident, he broke his seclusion immediately. Unfortunately, the other party seemed to have already known that Jiang Hongyan was his daughter, and ambushed him halfway, with severalte-stage mythical powerhouses attacking him.


    In the end, although he managed to kill and drive those people away, he was left with irreparable internal injuries. Due to these injuries, his strength diminished year by year, falling directly from thete stage of mythical to earth-level realm, with a real possibility of bing aplete cripple.


    "However, Hong Yan, rest assured, although I am disabled now, it doesn’t mean I can be bullied easily. If Lu Tianxing is really your son, I will definitely protect him well, never allowing any mishaps to happen to him, because he is my grandson, the only family I have left in this world."


    Saying this, the old man sighed again, stepped out from the desk, walked to the window, and looked up at the starry sky outside, murmuring: "Cangwu should be back soon, right? Hopefully he brings back some good news, after all, I wish to have a rtive see me off on myst journey."


    "Knock, knock..."


    At this moment, a slight knock on the door suddenly came from outside the study.


    Upon hearing the knock, the old man’s body trembled abruptly, and an expression of excitement appeared on his aged face. He took a deep breath and said to the outside, "Come in."


    With the old man’s voice falling, a man wearing a strong outfit, as imposing as a mountain, walked in from outside. His body stood straight like a spear, as if he were a spear standing proudly there, unmoving amidst wind and rain. Only, this man’s face was hidden behind an iron mask, making it impossible to see what he actually looked like.


    "Master, I’m back." The iron-masked man walked in and immediately knelt before the old man without any hesitation, saying respectfully.


    "Back, get up! Haven’t I told you not to be so respectful upon seeing me?"


    The old man looked at the iron-masked man before him and spoke softly, his voice carrying a hint of unmistakable expectation: "How’s the investigation, is Lu Tianxing really Hong Yan’s son?"


    Upon hearing the old man’s words, the iron-masked man took a deep breath and slowly said: "Master, ording to my investigation, Lu Tianxing should be Senior Sister Hong Yan’s biological son. Additionally, I obtained an identification report from the archives of a DNA testing center. I also used hypnotism on those doctors who participated in identifying the rtionship between Lu Tianxing and Lu Tianzhan, and got a definite answer from them. This identification report is genuine, not fabriacted by Old Sir Lu. Master, you can take a look."


    While speaking, the iron-masked man took out a folded identification report from his pocket and handed it to the old man.


    With trembling fingers, the old man received the paper from the iron-masked man’s hands, opened it unsteadily, and read it carefully, not daring to miss a single word. When he saw thest line: "Upon identification, both parties are determined to be father and son, with the umted calction of kinship probability exceeding 99.99%. ording to international conventions, Lu Tianxing and Lu Tianzhan are considered to have a father-son rtionship."


    Seeing this line of words, the old man’s face instantly became extremely excited, his voice trembling as he said: "Good, good, hahaha, Hong Yan, do you see it? Do you see it? Your son is not dead, your son is not dead. I, Jiang Liufeng, have a grandson, hahaha... Lu Tiankuang, you bastard, you’ve finally done something good, you’ve finally done something good, hahahaha..."


    The old manughed wildly, tears streaming down his old face. Ever since Jiang Hongyan died more than twenty years ago, he has med himself every moment, his heart filled with endless remorse. Now he finally has a bit offort, he has a grandson, he is going to be a grandfather.


    "Cangwu, tell me how my grandson Tianxing is doing now, tell me how he is doing." The old man looked at the iron-masked man Cangwu and spoke again.
