The Man In Rage novel Chapter 1856

“Grandpa? Are you...”

Despite her flawless skin and exquisite features, the girl emitted a vibe that differed greatly from the flamboyant ladies in the city.

Lu Ziming could feel an inexplicable aura from her, which could only be found in a martial artist.

Obviously, it wasn't just any ordinary martial artist that exuded such a vibe, for it only belonged to those that were highly skilled.

“I'm Zhang Zixi. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lu,” the girl greeted Lu Ziming with a bow.

He was taken by surprise. “Oh, it's you, Zixi. I didn't expect you to be all grown up now. Your skills seemed to have caught up with your grandpa's. Looks like the rumors are true. Jiangbei's martial arts world finally has an heir,” Lu Ziming remarked in relief.

Twenty years ago, he had heard that a martial arts genius was born into the Zhang family. Evidently, the girl standing in front of him was that genius.

Nonetheless, Lu Ziming wasn't bothered by it, for his son, Lu Hua, was equally exceptional. The latter had joined the program for gifted martial artists within China's martial arts world.

Subsequently, his son became one of the martial artists that the War God Castle was focused on grooming.

As for Zhang Jiuling's niece, she simply faded away without any news.

Lu Ziming figured she had been training by Zhang Jiuling's side all this while.

He let out a sigh.

If I had kept my son by my side just like her, he wouldn 't have found fame at such an early age. More importantly, he wouldn't have been killed by that b*stard, while the Lu Clan wouldn't have fallen into such dire circumstances.

Looking at Zhang Zixi, Lu Ziming couldn't help but feel a sting in his heart.

If my son were still alive, he would probably be her age.

Prior to that, he hated Ye Fan and could think of nothing else but to kill him.

But after reflecting on the incident, he felt he bore significant responsibility for what happened.

If only he hadn't allowed Lu Hua to become famous at an early age, his son wouldn't have behaved with such impunity.

Therefore, it was more of an inevitable end for Lu Hua than a tragedy caused by Ye Fan.

Even if Ye Fan weren't the one who killed him, someone else would have done the same because of Lu Hua's behavior.

Lost in his sentimental thoughts, Lu Ziming followed Zhang Zixi into one of the mansion's halls.

Inside, he caught the smell of incense and saw a row of plaques that commemorated the different heads of the Zhang family.

In front of the plaques sat an old man in a grey robe. With his eyes closed, he was meditating cross-legged on a bamboo mat.

“Mr. Zhang, it really is difficult to see you. I have been waiting outside for an entire day and night,” Lu Ziming complained the moment he saw the old man.

After all, the Lu Clan was the most prominent family in Jiangbei, while his father, Lu Songliang, was given the title of Supreme Grandmaster.

Even though his father had been crippled by Ye Fan, their family used to be famous before. Moreover, his father enjoyed a close relationship with Zhang Jiuling.

He had assumed that he could easily see the latter during the visit instead of jumping through so many hoops.

“Mr. Lu, you should know I retired from the martial arts world two years ago. The Zhang family of Jiangbei no longer has anything to do with it. Why are you here to see me? Despite your presence, there's nothing I can do to help you,” Zhang Jiuling replied calmly with his back facing Lu Ziming.

Throughout his speech, his eyes remained closed.
