Return of the Swallow

n ’t we all a part of the Lu family? Be it you or the second elder master, everything we do is for the sake of the family. ”

”As if you really are acting in the family ’s interests. ” Lu Heng ’s chest tightened from his ill mood and he nearly coughed up blood out of anger.

He trusted them so much and had viewed them as his own brothers over the past few days.
He’d been in awe of their sense of loyalty and support, seeing as they’d gone through such great lengths to track him down under such grueling circumstances—but they were only doing so to take him to his second uncle!

Indeed, his second uncle was now the master of the Lu clan.
As outsiders who were loyal followers of the eldest branch, Feilian and Feiying had to show proof of their devotion if they were to continue surviving in the Lu family.
Otherwise, what reason did the new patriarch have to believe they wouldn ’t betray him?

By handing Lu Heng over to his second uncle, his uncle could make him the scapegoat for all of the crimes that put the Lus at a disadvantage.
With him taking the fall, his second uncle could then secure his position as patriarch with legitimate reasons.
He could even curry favor with His Majesty and become part of the emperor ’s personal faction.

What a thoroughly thought-out scheme!

He’d been foolish to let his emotions affect his judgment, leading him to trust the wrong people!

He greatly regretted his inclinations; why had he ever given them his trust so easily?

And now, he had been spirited away without a trace.
Not wanting to alarm the tribe, the two traveled entirely on foot without taking even a horse.

If Qin Yining and the rest of the tribe thought he’d run away to save his own hide out of fear, what would he do then?

Lu Heng had never been a coward only interested in saving his own neck! Not only had Feiying and Feilian turned against their own master for their own good, but they trampled over his reputation and trustworthiness in the process!

Hanging upside down in a furious and panicked fit had him seeing stars and breathing with great difficulty.
As he pounded hard against Feilian ’s shoulder blades, Feiying noticed something off with Lu Heng ’s expression.

”Hurry, put the second master down and let him catch his breath.
We can’t let him suffocate to death. ” he urged hastily.
”There will be no talking our way out if that happens. ”

”Alright! ” Feilian stopped amidst a small patch of trees, propping Lu Heng with his back against a tree as if he were a sack of rice.
He swiped at his sweaty brow and put his hands on his hips while he panted, ”I ’m beat! ”
