Xia Family Hatred

The book bore a small symbol: that of a small bird, which was the emblem of the Xia family.

Lu Zhen's eyes widened upon seeing the symbol. "Mother, where did you get this book from?"

"Oh, I obtained it from the corpse of an anonymous individual," Mother Lu replied with a smirk, her eyes gleaming with a hint of murderous intent.

Lu Zhen nodded in understanding as he observed her closely. "Mother, do you have a feud with the Xia family?" he asked.

"Of course, I do. That's why I didn't reprimand you when I heard from Yu Bai that you had killed their family's young master and kidnapped the young genius of the family," she chuckled.

"If it were any other family, I might have, but not the Xia family," she added, her eyes burning with hatred.

Lu Zhen had a perplexed expression as he observed the intensity of his mother's animosity.

"Do you know why I had to marry your father?" She continued, and Lu Zhen shook his head.
