After that competition, Li Lu was severely beaten by his father once he returned home, but he had already made up his mind. A real man stands by his word; what he said had to be done, making his father so angry he almost swung his sword to chop off Li Lu's leg.
In the end, it was the general's wife who heard the news and rushed over to stop the general, declaring that if he dared to hit her son, he would have to kill her first. The general, who was always afraid of his wife, didn't have the guts to chop off Li Lu's leg and could only let him go.
Who knew that after the event, Mu Ruyue would disappear? Because of this, Li Lu often instructed his buddies to help look for her. If she hadn't come out of the Mu Residence, Li Lu's people wouldn't have found her.
"I almost forgot about this," Mu Ruyue stood up from the Guifei Chair, stretched her shoulders, and said, "Li Lu, help me gather some strong warriors."
"Huh?" Li Lu blinked, "What do you need strong warriors for?"
