Every World Seems Not Quite Right Chapter 50 Part2

Meeting With The People Of The Lu Family

After all, those that desired to be immortal and live forever were not little. If they got the chance, these people naturally wouldn’t give it up easily. Although the Lu family had some prestige within the martial world, they still wouldn’t be able to withstand the entire world becoming their enemy.

“Don’t bring this up in the future.” After remaining silent for a long time, Lu Xing Tian heaved a long sigh and spoke, “I will destroy our ancestors’ only copy of the book. From this day onwards, our Lu family will only practice the Scorching Sun method that has been modified by Qing Xuan.”

“Of course.” Lu Ao spoke proudly. “Qing Cuan also said, if there was someone talented, they would definitely be able to practice the Scorching Sun method to its true form. Furthermore, if they are able to breakthrough, they will probably enter Lianqi [1].”

Lu Ao wasn’t absolutely without consideration. As he said these words, he leaned extremely close to the Lu husband and wife, allowing only the two of them to hear him.

Lord Lu and Lady Lu were shocked upon hearing this and spoke hastily, “This… Isn’t this…”

“Father, you really think that obtaining it will be easy?” Lu Ao looked at his father with a smile, speaking, “With your qualifications, even if you were to be given a hundred years, I’m afraid you’ll still find it hard to break through to the ninth level.”

After all, the more one retreated, the more harder they would find it to step forward again. However, although this thing’s words were true, why did they feel like hitting him?”

“After the Martial Arts Convention ends, come back with father and mother to the Lu compound.” Lady Lu spoke softly, “Qing Xuan has been running around with you for the past two years, he should have suffered much.”

Just as he was about to nod his head, Lu Ao recalled that he had previously agreed with Qing Xuan on being his Di wife. The nod changed into a firm shake of his head. “Not possible. Qing Xuan has already let me to back to the Bai family with him.”

Lady Lu’s smile stiffened. After stirring up trouble for such a long, her son was now going to go live with his wife’s family?

Standing up, Lu Ao smoothed his clothes down, a grin on his face as he said, “I’m unable to be at ease knowing Qing Xuan is by himself. Father, Mother, enjoy your meal.”

The common saying, ‘A married lady was like spilled water’. However, even though this was their son, he seemed to already have the manner of spilled water.

The next morning, Lu Ao was dragged off to a social engagement by Lu Xing Tian and Lady Lu. Upon departure, the expression in his eyes was as pitiable as a dog that had been abandoned.

Towards this thing’s ‘one step forward, two steps back’ manner of walking, Lady Lu’s head throbbed in anger. She immediately stepped forward and pinched his ear, lugging him forward. “You follow this old mother.”

“Ah! Qing Xuan, saved me quickly!” Being dragged by his ear, Lu Ao clamoured and wailed as he pleaded for Shao Qian’s help.

“We’ll have lunch together at noon.” Shao Qian shook his head at Lu Ao. “Don’t worry, I’ll be with Lu Ning Er. I won’t randomly go off on my own.”

“T-Then you must wait for me.” Lu Ao used both hands to claw at his mother’s pincers, turning away whilst being recluctant to look away at the same time as he spoke to Shao Qian.

Lady Lu never saw her foolish son being this sticky to someone before. The two of them had only been together for two years, how could they be this sticky?

Little did she know, this was also the results of Lu Ao’s persistence. On ordinary days, if he was alone with Shao Qian, he would definitely half-hug, half-drap himself over the other’s body. According to Shao Qian, he was like a boneless animal as he stuck to others.

“Big Brother Bai, you and elder brother normally get along in this manner?” Lu Ning Er had been giggling at the side. “It seems like elder brother… has become even more foolish.

“Disrespectful.” Shao Qian patted Lu Ning Er’s head and smiled. “Towards family, it’s alright to be that foolish. However, if he is also the same towards outsiders, then he is truly a fool.”

“You can rest a.s.sured.” Lu Ning Er vowed solemnly. “He isn’t like this towards outsiders.”

The words of Lu Ning Er weren’t wrong. Lu Ao’s personality was unusual. If it was someone he acknowledged, then he would treat them favourably in every possible way, to the extent where he dig his heart and lungs out for them. However, if it was towards an outsider… then he would have a loathsome face that would cause others to want to hit him.

As Shao Qian had already been together with Lu Ao for two years, how could he not know of this illness? The two of them left behinf some memories, that they would remember for a long time, in JiangNan, a water bound town. Although the females of JianNan were pet.i.te in structure, their personalities were not less straightforward that those from other places. Upon seeing a man they fancied, they would instantly drop the hankerchief in their hands.

Since it was the first time he went to JiangNan, Shao Qian hadn’t been aware of this situation. Therefore, when he saw a woman’s hankerchief float across towards him, he intended to catch it and return it to the woman. However, just as he extended his arm out, he was stopped by Lu Ao’s black face. “You still intend on receiving a woman’s hankerchief?”

At that time, Shao Qian had been stunned before he questioned, “This has a particular meaning?”

“Of course it does. If you were to receive the hankerchief, it implies that you want to be together with the woman.” Lu Ao spoke, feeling severly aggrieved. Although it was obvious that Qing Xuan hadn’t known anything about it, he still couldn’t suppress the sourness being emitted from his heart.

“This Gongzi seriously knows how to disturb the happy occasion of others.” The woman in front of them had been continously paying attention to the both of them. When she saw the pretty and charming man had been stopped by someone else, she instantly turned around and voiced her anger. “Someone who meddles in a marriage destined by fate will he struck by lightning.”

“Those words were spoken nicely. I enjoyed hearing it.” Upon hearing those words, Lu Ao grabbed Shao Qian’s hand and waved it back and fro before the woman’s face.“Someone. That. Meddles. In. A. Marriage. Destined. By. Fate. Will. Be. Struck. By. Lightning.”

The woman’s face flushed red at first, before she became absolutely livid. She swept an eye over Lu Ao indignantly, “You… You…”

“This person doesn’t know how to speak. Please excuse us young lady.” Once Shao Qian saw that the woman’s anger wasn’t light, he immediately spoke up in haste, “Many thanks for this young lady’s favour, however the humble me already has a partner and is unworthy of this young lady’s kindness.”

“Hmph! d.a.m.ned male and male.” The young lady glared at the two of them before she left in a huff.

“This woman…” Lu Ao still wanted to continue, but he was pinched on the arm by Shao Qian, “You and your big mouth!”

Recalling that memory, Shao Qian unconsciously smiled. At the side, Lu Ning Er was baffled, she asked someone curiously, “Big Brother Bai, why are you suddenly so happy?”

Seeing that there was nothing to really hide, Shao Qian

told the whole story from beginning to end. Of course, he didn’t say anything about the torment he was put through during the night due to the sourness within Lu Ao’s heart.

When Lu Ning Er heard it, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing. She didn’t use a hankerchief to cover her face like other women, but instead was like a man as she laughed refres.h.i.+ngly. “My elder brother doesn’t only have this temper. You have to know, that when he originally drove away all those women, it was even worse regarding not giving any face.

It was to the extent where when most daughters of prominant families saw Lu Ao, they would have a nasty complexion. However, amongst the youths, Lu Ao’s reputation was actually quite good. After all, since they had Lu Ao to be compared against, wasn’t it certain that they would be the hetter choice?

“When travelling around the world, it’s best not to offend anyone.” Although Shao Qian said these words, in reality, he was all too eager for those women to stay far, far away from Lu Ao.

“Oh, if it isn’t Young Lady Lu?” A person appeared, thin silk skirt brus.h.i.+ng against the floor, hair twisted into a elegant bun, along with dignified makeup. Although the tone was casual and friendly, the playful banger within the eyes couldn’t be completely concealed.

“Lady Zhang, long time no see.” Lu Ning Er cupped her fist in her hand and greeted with a mischievious smile.

“An unmarried lady, isn’t in her chambers doing needlework, but instead showing her face in public! What on earth should we do?” Lady Zhang pointed at Lu Ning Er’s forehead and scolded jestingly, “Even Auntie is normally unable to discipline you properly.”

“Where in the world did that custom come from?” Lu Ning Er grabbed Lady Zhang’s sleeve and swung it around. “Elder cousin (表姐 biaojie), Mother said that the Zhang family would not be coming?”

“The Zhang family isn’t coming, but the Yun family is able to.” Lady Zhang poked Lu Ning Er’s nose fondly. “I heard that elder cousin (表哥 biaoge) finally wants someone. I’d figure I might as well come over and take a look.”

These words were said in a manner of rejoicing. It gave the impression of someone whom n.o.body wanted, and was thus sent away as a gift even if they suffered a loss. Therefore, how disliked was Lu Ao in his family?

“Lady Zhang.” When Shao Qian saw Lady Zhang’s eyes flicker towards him from time to time, he cupped a fist in his hand, smiling, “I’ve heard of Lady Zhang from Lu Ao before. It’s just that I never got the chance to pay a visit during the past two years.”

“We’re a family, don’t phrase it as visiting.” Lady Zhang scanned Shao Qian from top to bottom, nodding her head in her heart secretly. Lu Ao, that foolish guy, although he was normally weird, but his vision was really not bad. This person’s appearance was pretty and charming, had outstanding manners, and a single look was able to tell her that he wasn’t an average person.

“Lady Zhang’s words is right.” Shao Qian observed that Lady Zhang’s complexion wasn’t too good. Although she had applied makeup below her eyes, it still couldn’t conceal the purplish colour that was peeking out.

“Is Milady feeling unwell?” Shao Qian thought it over but still ended up asking. Seeing as Lu Ning Er was on close terms with this woman, he might as well take liberties and inquire about it.

“I haven’t been able to sleep well recently, that’s all.” Lady Zhang released a sigh, “I don’t know why, but these past few days, I keep feeling indescribably gloomy. When I see any meat dish, I even feel like vomitting… Look at me, actually telling you about these things.”

Lady Zhang laughed in embarra.s.s.e.m.e.nt, “Gongzi, pardon me.”

“We’re family, there’s no need for courtesy.” Shao Qian looked at Lady Zhang’s hand. “My humble self knows some basic medical skills, perhaps I could give this Lady some treatment?”

“That’s naturally alright.” Lu Ning Er immediately pulled her elder cousin over to the nearby wayside pavilion to sit down. “Big Brother Bai, help elder cousin take a look.”

Ever since young, Lady Zhang’s body has never been too good. Most of the time, she would have headaches and fevers, and although it had gotten better after she had grown up, the occurances were still many.

Shao Qian straightforwardly said an “Excuse me” before he placed a hand on Lady Zhang’s wrist. The more he searched for the cause, the tighter his brows creased together. In the end, he even changed to Lady Zhang’s other hand and continued examining, however his brows creased tighter instead.

Seeing Shao Qian frown, Lu Ning Er was frightened and turned pale, “Could… Could it be it isn’t looking good?”

“Mn, it isn’t good.” Shao Qian nodded his head with a frown. “The fetus in Lady Zhang’s womb is somewhat weak. I’m afraid you’ll have to take in some extra nourishments.”

Lady Zhang was stunned, before she opened her mouth and asked in a trembling voice. “Gongzi… Gongzi is saying that I… I’m pregnant?”

Shao Qian was dumbfounded. Could it be that they still didn’t know?
