Chapter 246 Life and Choice

Lu Zhanxing left the palace in a very good mood. When he passed by the Heavenly Punishment Bureau, he went in to take a look.

The people on duty inside saluted Lu Zhanxing one after another. Lu Zhanxing nodded and went straight to the third floor.

Mu Qingli was seen sitting at the desk with documents piled up like a mountain. He had never raised his head since Lu Zhanxing walked in.

Lu Zhanxing felt a little ashamed for a moment and wanted to leave, but Mu Qingli happened to see her when she was sorting out the approved documents.

He was delighted in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he said in a gentle voice: "Ah Xing is here?"

Facing the good-tempered Mu Qingli, Lu Zhanxing felt even more embarrassed: "Is it because we don't have enough manpower? Wait a few more days. I have already told my brother that we will select some people to come to the headquarters in a few days. You will have an easy time in the future."

Mu Qingli nodded slightly: "It's okay, you don't have to worry."

Because their Tianfa Division in the capital is the headquarters, any difficult issues from other branches will be submitted to that department, so it seems that there are more documents.

Fortunately, the prefect of Yingtian and the Ministry of Justice will intervene in major cases, and for other minor cases, you only need to give some opinions and the officers below will carry out the execution.

Seeing that Mu Qingli didn't ask to help, Lu Zhanxing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject: "I will let Ling'er go to Yong'an Marquis Mansion to recognize her relatives in three days. What do you think?"

"Can!"

He would love to confirm his father-daughter relationship with Ling'er as soon as possible, so that he would have more topics to talk to Ah Xing about.

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll be leaving first." Lu Zhanxing left again without mercy.

Seeing that she didn't stay for a moment, Mu Qingli felt a little disappointed, then shook his head. It was fine, as long as he could see her occasionally.

She has a wife and a daughter, you can't force her!

Now that he is in the Heavenly Punishment Department, he encounters all kinds of cases every day. The judgements are quite interesting and he feels fulfilled.

When Lu Zhanxing returned to the Liuli Courtyard of the palace, he found Bai Yu standing at the door.

It's really rare that I didn't stick to Ling'er today?

Bai Yu was only eight years old, so Lu Zhanxing had never thought that a little boy would stare at his two-year-old daughter.

"What are you doing standing here?"

"Uncle Ah Xing, can I talk to you?"

"Okay, then come to my study!" Lu Zhanxing was also curious about what this boy would say to him.

Arriving at Lu Zhanxing's study, Lu Zhanxing sat in the main seat and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Uncle Ah Xing, is Bai Jing's martial arts very powerful?"

"Indeed, but Bai Jing's adoptive father is even more powerful!"

Bai Yu's eyes lit up and he asked, "Then can I learn martial arts from Bai Jing's adoptive father?"

"Of course you can, but next year I will send Ling'er to study in the palace. Don't you plan to study with Ling'er?"

Although Queen Chu's Yaochi Academy has already started, he is too young and needs to be six years old to enter the school, so he will study in the palace with the princes for the time being.

Bai Yu shook his head: "I can recognize words. My master taught me a lot, but I want to learn martial arts and fight in the future."

He is born with evil in his body, and evil thoughts always arise in his mind from time to time. So he should learn martial arts and go to the battlefield!

The battlefield is full of murderous atmosphere, which is just right for me.

These days, he finally figured it out. He should not have followed his master before. He should have gone to the battlefield to show his talents. But he was young at that time, and when his father heard that he would bring bad luck to his relatives, he gave him to the Taoist priest without saying a word.

This resulted in me killing my master, which was really wrong.

However, this kind of rich and leisurely life is not suitable for him. In the past, when he followed his master to travel around the mountains and rivers, he would stand up for the weak and fight against the weak, and there would also be disputes in the martial arts world, so he did not feel bored. But now, he feels psychological pressure.

Out of tune with the surrounding environment.

So after thinking for a long time, he decided to learn martial arts and go to the battlefield. When he grows up, if Ling'er is willing to be with him, everyone will be happy. If she is not willing, he will defend the country and die for it. In this way, there will always be someone to collect his body, right?

I won't be alone and helpless like Master said, right?

Lu Zhanxing was a little surprised. This child is very conscious!

But she also became a little curious about his identity: "I've never asked you before, where are you from? Are your parents still alive?"

Bai Yu was silent for a moment before answering, "My father is from the Yuwen family, one of the eight great families of Dayan. My original name was Yuwen Yu, but because of my special fate, I was suspected of being unlucky with my relatives, so my father gave me to my master. He was even afraid that I would bring trouble to the Yuwen family, so he let me take my mother's surname."

But his mother died during childbirth, and his father thought he was unlucky, so he sent him to his maternal grandparents' home. As a result, his maternal grandparents were killed by a group of refugees, and he was sent back. His father thought Bai Yu was a bad omen, and since he looked like a fairy boy, he thought he was a monster, and he didn't know how to deal with him.

Taoist Wuwei came, and his father gave him to the Taoist without thinking, and even changed his surname.

If it weren't for the master who brought him up, taught him to read, and showed him around the mountains and rivers, I'm afraid he would have had a harder time, and even had evil thoughts and wanted to destroy what he could...

Mu Qingli and Lu Zhanxing wanted to adopt him as their adopted son, but he didn't dare to agree for fear of killing them.

He knew Ling'er was his only salvation, but Ling'er was too young, and he was afraid that Ling'er could not suppress his evil spirit. It would be better for him to go to a battlefield where the evil spirit was even stronger!

When Lu Zhanxing learned that Bai Yu's life was so miserable, he finally understood why he always seemed to keep strangers away at such a young age.

I couldn't help but feel sympathy for him, but I still asked: "Since you are from Dayan, if you become a general in the future and you are asked to attack Dayan, what will you do?"

"Uncle Ah Xing, I cannot change my origins, but you treat me well. I know that in the future, if there really comes such a day, I will flatten Dayan for you."

Anyway, his biological father abandoned him, his maternal grandfather was killed by refugees, and his master was also dead. What else did he have to worry about?

When he arrived at Prince Yi's mansion, even though they treated him well because of his master's life-saving grace, he felt the warmth in the end, regardless of their actions, so he chose this place as his safe haven.

He just happened to be born in Dayan.

That's all.

Seeing Bai Yu's determined look, Lu Zhanxing touched his head and said, "I understand your idea. I will let Bai Jing send you to Chang Bo to learn martial arts."

Bai Yu bowed and thanked: "Thank you, Uncle Ah Xing!"

Lu Zhanxing touched his head and said, "You don't have to thank me. If it weren't for your master's help, he wouldn't have died. I promised your master that I would take good care of you."

Bai Yu was silent. He didn't dare to say that the master and disciple were suspected of plotting something, but his master did die to help them.

This kind of thing couldn't be explained or understood, so he remained silent.

He will spend his whole life proving that he will not do anything harmful to Uncle Xing's family.

After Bai Yu left Lu Zhanxing's study, he went to find Ling'er and said goodbye to her.

"Sister Ling'er, I'm going to study martial arts, and I don't know when I'll be back, but don't worry, I'll write to you, and I hope you won't forget me."

Ling'er was very sad, but her adoptive father said that everyone has his or her own path to take. She couldn't stop them, but she could bless them.

"Brother Yu, don't worry, Ling'er won't forget you."

She thought about it and asked Bai Yu to wait for a while. She went back to the house, entered the space with her consciousness, found a emerald green Bodhi bracelet, and took it out.

"Brother Yu, this is my favorite bodhi bracelet. It was given to me when I was one year old. It has been blessed. I hope it can keep you safe! If Ling'er forgets you one day, you can take it out. Ling'er will definitely remember it."

Xiao Ling'er's eyes were full of sincerity, but in fact she herself didn't know who gave it to her. Anyway, she had a lot of things and she just happened to find it.

But it doesn't stop her from gaining favor.

As expected, Bai Yu took the Bodhi bracelet with great care: "Thank you, Sister Ling'er, I will cherish it."

Ling'er gave me a gift to recognize myself, so I have to give her a gift in return.

He didn't know what to give, so he could only take off the amulet hanging around his neck and said, "May it keep you safe and sound!"

The amulet was obtained by his grandmother in the temple for him. He treasured it as a treasure. Now he gave it to her, hoping that she would be well. This was his best wish for her.

Ling'er took it solemnly: "Thank you, Brother Yu!"

After the two said goodbye to each other, Bai Yu turned and left. Ling'er looked at his back as he left, feeling a little lost.

The handsome brother is gone, and from now on, only An An, the handsome brother, is left...

She was lamenting the loss of a playmate, but she didn't know that many years later, a general named Yan Luowang appeared in Daqian who killed people without blinking an eye, but he held the string of Bodhi beads in his hand and never let it go...
