Chapter 5: Where Does the Sense of Immersion Come from for the Unchanging Handsome Guy
Suddenly, he found himself in a somewhat awkward situation, both amused and exasperated
The mother clearly loves her child. Lu Yuan, at only six years old, is about to leave them, which immediately brought tears to Mana's eyes. "Second Uncle, can you please not let Xiao Yuan go..."
"What?" Mana looked at Lu Wu with a hint of disbelief.
To celebrate Lu Yuan's becoming a Soul Master, Lu Qing reluctantly slaughtered one of the only two livestock raised at home to prepare dinner.
"What good news is this? Have the authorities in Nottingham relaxed the land tax this year?" Lu Qing's eyes lit up, and he excitedly embraced his wife beside him
Immediately, he had no intention of continuing to pay attention to the ecstatic Lu Wu and his parents, and he ran straight into the house
Following Lu Wu's footsteps, I returned home. My parents were still working hard in the fields in front of the house, with their backs to the sun and facing the land, hoping for a better harvest this year
As Lu Yuan entered the room, he saw his younger sister Lu Qingqing crying incessantly and calling out for her brother
Ah? Lu Yuan looked bewildered, but still said, "Brother is here, brother is here"
He was momentarily stunned, then couldn't help but walk forward, arriving at the water's surface. He looked at the "self" in the water, feeling somewhat incredulous
Lu Yuan felt that his father was inexplicably strange
Bi and *Tu* are only three years old, but according to Lu Yuan's past experience, Lu Qingqing should stop crying after seeing her brother.
At this moment, Lu Yuan seemed to hear faint cries coming from inside the house, and he immediately realized, "It is that child Qingqing!"
... ...
However, Mana still seems to have some concerns
"Not at all... of course not..." Lu Wu exclaimed with great joy, "I have some tremendous news to share with you both as a couple..."
"Your son! Can become a Soul Master!" Lu Wu reiterated at this moment
Upon hearing this, Mana could only accept the matter.
At that moment, the couple became even more excited, their emotions akin to those of rural parents in ancient times upon learning that their child had passed the imperial examination. The joy on their faces was impossible to conceal.
They did not pay any attention to Lu Yuan's awakening of the martial soul ceremony today, as it had been over a decade since a soul master had appeared in the village. The simple-mindedness of the farmers led them to believe that their son, like everyone else, would not become a soul master
He still feels a strong sense of belonging to Lujiacun, after all, this is his homeland in this world. Even if the villagers may not be able to help him in the future, they are still family members.
After Lu Wu brought Lu Yuan home and shared the good news with the couple Lu Qing and Ma Na, he was excitedly invited by Lu Qing to stay for dinner
But in the next moment
What does a child of such a young age know, especially in a village like Lujiacun where there is not a single Soul Master? They are even less able to comprehend the concept of not being able to become a Soul Master
But the little girl could only cry out, "Brother ... Brother ..."
At that moment, Lu Yuan accidentally caught a glimpse of a water tank nearby, and then saw a figure reflected on the water's surface
However, this is a rural village without a single Soul Master, and several children, having received candy, happily forgot about the fact that they could not become Soul Masters.
This is much better, hahaha! Lu Wu burst into laughter, "Xiao Yuan, today, when you awakened your martial soul, the esteemed guest from the Spirit Hall said that this child has the talent to become a Soul Master!"
"Brother... brother... brother..." On the ground, a little girl who is not yet four years old is currently crying inconsolably, evoking deep sympathy from those around her
Suddenly, Lu Yuan felt a mix of surprise and helplessness; after becoming more handsome, his sister no longer recognized him.
Lu Yuan, who traversed into this world, was born into a peasant family. His father and mother were not particularly handsome or beautiful, which resulted in his appearance being quite ordinary, possessing only a hint of childlike cuteness.
This way, in addition to delivering a sufficient share of grain to the grain officer of Nottingham, there will be a little extra grain and vegetables left, which can be sold to earn a few copper coins
"It's nothing, Mom." At this moment, Lu Yuan spoke up, "Mom, I want to become a Soul Master, and then let everyone in Lu Family Village live a good life!"
At this moment, Lu Wu faced Lu Yuan, and that kind and gentle old face was smiling so broadly that it almost revealed his nearly toothless grin, "Good! Good child!"
Lu Qingqing heard a familiar voice, opened her tear-filled eyes that were blurred from crying, and was about to stop weeping
He will not, like some ungrateful individuals, ignore his hometown that once helped him after becoming stronger
However, the three-year-old girl Lu Qingqing is particularly sensitive to differences in appearance. She feels a profound sense of estrangement towards Lu Yuan, whose appearance has merely become more refined, and cannot believe that this is her once closest and dearest brother
What?! In an instant, Mana's expression turned to one of astonishment
After all these years, since he became aware of his surroundings, his younger sister Lu Qingqing has been under his care, while their parents have been at ease working in the fields
No wonder Lu Qing was momentarily stunned when he saw him just now; it turns out he didn't recognize such a handsome young boy as his own son.
However, at this moment, Lu Wu informed them of a piece of news, "Since Xiao Yuan possesses the talent to become a Soul Master, we must send Xiao Yuan to the Soul Master Academy in Nodding City for study"
Today, Lu Yuan was taken by Lu Wu to awaken his martial soul. Throughout the entire morning, Lu Qingqing did not see her brother's shadow, and naturally, she cried incessantly at home
Then, he looked at Lu Yuan beside Lu Wu and suddenly froze for a moment
However, the facial features have become more exquisite and delicate, and the originally tanned skin has now turned exceptionally fair, comparable to that of Caucasians in a previous life
Lu Wudun immediately felt very excited upon hearing this, "Good! Good child!"
However, he did not forget the other five children who had come here to awaken with him. He called out to those children, kindly took out a few candies, and said, "Do not be disheartened. Even if you cannot become Soul Masters, you are all good children..."
Is this the effect brought about by the awakening of the martial soul? Lu Yuan couldn't help but think
Lu Yuandong felt a warmth in his heart, yet also a sense of helplessness. He hurried to Lu Qingqing's side, saying, "Brother is here, brother is here..."
At this moment, the reflection of Lu Yuanshui in the water appeared as a figure with delicate features resembling that of a picture book, yet... it was still evident that this was Lu Yuan's visage
Upon seeing Lu Wu return with Lu Yuan, Lu Qing simply retracted his scythe martial soul and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Second Uncle"
Sigh... Lu Qing sighed, but firmly stated, "Mana, Second Uncle is right; Xiaoyuan's future is limitless and should not be confined to our small village."
... ...
However, cuteness and handsomeness are generally not the same thing
... ...
"Your compassion is misplaced! Sending Xiaoyuan to the Soul Master Academy is a good thing; otherwise, who in our village will teach him how to cultivate without a Soul Master? If Xiaoyuan studies at the Soul Master Academy and becomes a Soul Master in the future, our Lu family village will have a bright future!" Lu Wu said, frustrated by the lack of progress.
This has also led to Lu Qingqing being very attached to him, as the two siblings have always been inseparable.
In a state of confusion, she cried even harder, "Wah wah wah wah—Brother... Brother—"
In a city filled with Soul Masters, it is still possible for them to feel sorrow due to the pressure of the environment for not being able to become a Soul Master
As a time traveler, Lu Yuan has always behaved more maturely than the other children in the village. Lu Wu has always liked him, and now that he hears that Lu Yuan has awakened his martial soul and can become a soul master, he is even more delighted
