Strongest Soldier

"How is it, nephew? The cooking skills of our Lu Manor's chefs are pretty good, right?!"    

    

"Yes, the dinner prepared by Patriarch Lu is indeed very delicious. I thank Patriarch Lu for the hospitality."    

    

"Hahaha, no need to thank me. You saved my daughter, so I should be the one thanking you instead."    

    

In the banquet hall, looking at the wide variety of delicacies, Lee Hongtian's throat moved and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.    

    

Since coming to the Nightless City, Lee Hongtian had almost not eaten anything. Although it did not affect his life, his life in the mortal world still allowed Lee Hongtian to develop a good habit of eating meals regularly.    

    

However, as his cultivation level increased bit by bit, the number of people and things he came into contact with also increased. Therefore, Lee Hongtian gradually picked out less time to eat.    

    

And today, Lee Hongtian had a hearty meal.    

    

After more than an hour of ravenous eating, the delicious food on the table had turned into a mess.    

    

After burping in satisfaction, Lee Hongtian let out a long sigh and said, "Ah, this is what life is like …"    

    

Seeing this scene, Patriarch Lu was overjoyed, and quickly said while the iron was still hot: "What is it nephew, do you want to stay in my Lu Manor for a period of time? Let me, too, do my part. "    

    

"I appreciate Patriarch Lu's good intentions, but I really have something to take care of, so I won't disturb you any longer."    

    

"What do you mean, the head of the family is not the head of the family? If the family doesn't speak of two families, just call me Uncle Lu."    

    

Hearing this, Lee Hongtian frowned and felt helpless.    

    

What had happened recently? Why did everyone choose to ignore him and talk to themselves on the side? Did he really not feel like he existed at all?    

    

"Patriarch Lu …"    

    

"Call me uncle!"    

    

"Uh, Uncle Lu, I really do have something particularly important that I don't have the time to delay here. So, I'll come visit you at the Lu Manor some other time."    

    

Saying that, Lee Hongtian stood up slowly and was ready to leave anytime.    

    

But at this moment, Patriarch Lu grabbed Lee Hongtian's arm and said: "Another day is fine, then let's set the date now."    

    

Hearing that, Lee Hongtian was surprised. After a long time, he recovered and hesitantly said, "Ah?"    

    

"Ah, what's with all this rudeness between you and Uncle? What I meant was to set a date so that I can prepare in advance."    

    

"There's no need, Uncle Lu. You don't need to put on such a solemn front. You can just entertain him for a bit."    

    

Lee Hongtian said with a smile.    

    

Lee Hongtian also did not expect that even the family head of an aristocratic family was acting this way. He was just being polite, why was he being so serious? That day, how about the day of your sacrifice?    

    

Of course, Lee Hongtian couldn't say any of this out loud. He could only fake a smile as his brain worked furiously, trying to find an excuse.    

    

Patriarch Lu, on the other hand, was completely unaware of his situation, and continued to ask, "Why not, my little girl, ah, your little sister, Qianqiu, whose life was saved by you, so it is very necessary, quickly tell me, what exactly happened that day?"    

    

Looking at the aggressive Patriarch Lu in front of him, Lee Hongtian wanted to smash his dog head with a punch, but on Second Mr Mei's account, Lee Hongtian endured it and said: "Uncle Lu, there's something very important on the other side, I'm not too sure exactly how long it will take to solve it. How about this, as long as I have time, I will definitely come again, what do you say?"    

    

"Ah, this is fine. Young people should have their own career, but my daughter has been in a coma for the past few days. I hope that nephew can leave after she wakes up completely unharmed. Is that alright?"    

    

Since things had already reached this point, Lee Hongtian couldn't refuse the old man in front of him. Moreover, whether it was the Feng Shui lines or the Chu Family, they were not in a rush, so he could only helplessly nod his head and agree to it.    

    

"In that case, butler! Hurry up and prepare a good guest room for your nephew. It would be best if he could be closer to Miss's room, and it would also be convenient for him to check her condition! "    

    

"Yes, old master!"    

    

Just as Lee Hongtian wanted to stop him, he was interrupted by Patriarch Lu. He grabbed his own arm and said, "Nephew, you might not know this, but she has had a bad time since she was young and has been through many troubles. As a parent, I have seen it in my heart …"    

    

Lee Hongtian frowned and was confused.    

    

[So what if it hurts? What did you tell me?] Can I hurt you? What's more, when he was young, wouldn't he need to take care of his lower body so that it wouldn't hurt?    

    

"Yes, Uncle Lu, please don't be too sad. Everything will go smoothly."    

    

"Sigh, I'll use your blessings. But even so, as a parent, how can I not feel heartache when I see my own daughter being tortured like this? "I'm already old. If something were to happen in the future, leaving Qianqiu all alone and helpless, what should I do …"    

    

After saying that, Patriarch Lu actually squeezed out a few tears. Lee Hongtian was dumbfounded by this scene.    

    

Was this really necessary? It's the common sense of people dying of old age. Besides, with so many people in your Lu Manor, what kind of lonely place would you have?    

    

However, even though Lee Hongtian had a belly full of disdain, he still sighed and agreed: "Uncle Lu doesn't need to be so pessimistic. As the saying goes, grandchildren have their own blessings, don't they?"    

    

"Yes, that's why I've always wanted to find a good candidate for Qianqiu. Even if I die, there will still be someone left to take care of him. However, after so many years of painstakingly searching, if I hadn't seen you, I would have truly fallen into despair."    

    

Finally!    

    

After preparing for so long, sighing and crying, Patriarch Lu finally brought the topic up to this point.    

    

Lee Hongtian almost burst out laughing when he heard that.    

    

So after saying so much, you still want me to be your son-in-law?    

    

"Uncle Lu, although Miss Lu's body is weak, she looks like a phoenix among men. There is no need to rush over marriage matters. The people who come knocking on the door to propose marriage can break your Lu Manor's threshold, so …"    

    

"But my nephew, my body is getting worse and worse every year. If I don't hurry, I'm afraid that it will be too late. If I can't see the scene of the marriage, I will die with regret!"    

    

"But, Uncle Lu's complexion seems to be very good. His complexion is rosy and glossy, making it impossible to tell that time is running out. Besides, I don't have any thoughts about this in the near future."    

    

"No worries!" I can wait! "    

    

Hearing this, Lee Hongtian coughed lightly and frowned in embarrassment.    

    

Weren't there too little time just now? How could he wait now? I said I hadn't thought of it for a while, but what if it was decades? What if it was hundreds of years? Can you afford to wait!?    

    

"Uncle Lu, forget it. Miss Lu and I are not suitable, really."
