Chapter 59 Someone is coming
Chapter 59 Someone is coming
Lu Mingfei had no doubt that Jiang Mingzi was decisive and ruthless.
But judging from his posture... he's actually going to wipe out the whole family?
How many people must there be in such a large sect?
Lu Mingfei felt there must be at least a hundred people. With his current perception, even a master of intermediate-level magic power couldn't completely hide the fluctuations in magic power.
With just a cursory examination, one could already sense the aura of no less than twenty intermediate supernatural powers within it.
If you do the math, this has to be at least a super-large faction, right?
Is Jiang Mingzi really going to be wiped out just like that?
"Find a seat and stay there."
Jiang Mingzi merely sent a telepathic message, and then fell silent.
Lu Mingfei watched as Jiang Mingzi floated in, without taking him with him or looking back at him, simply drifting deeper into the mountain gate.
Dressed in all black, his back was straight yet exuded a sense of solitude, truly like someone wearing mourning clothes to attend a funeral.
Lu Mingfei obediently found a spot to stand in the air, using the door formed by flames as his foothold, and simply watched quietly.
Watching the sword hilt suddenly appear from the void, watching the sect buildings instantly shattered, watching the colossal rocks that suddenly appeared and blotted out the sky, and watching the sect that had once been hidden in an unknown place being buried by the rocks.
He became a witness.
Witness the complete demise of this sect called Wangchuan.
....................
The curtains were suddenly pulled open.
Sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the blinds, scattering like shattered gold across the pale leg outside the blanket.
The woman turned over in a daze, her throat still hoarse from a hangover, but she suddenly raised her voice, exuding an air of arrogance.
"Come on, keep drinking!"
The last syllable of her voice still lingered, but she snuggled deeper into the pillow, her eyelashes still damp with sleepiness, as if she weren't the woman who slammed her fist on the table last night saying "drink until dawn."
"How about some water?"
"No..." The woman was about to shrink back in refusal when she suddenly sat up abruptly as if pricked by a needle, her eyes shining as she stared at the young man in front of her:
"Zihang, why are you back!"
"I came back to check on you." Chu Zihang handed over a glass of lukewarm water that had been cooled down, and presented it to the woman. "Have some water. Did you drink too much with Aunt Annie and the others yesterday?"
"No, not at all," the woman took a sip of water from the cup, then put the cup on the bedside table, shaking her head like a rattle drum, even her slightly messy bangs swaying. "It's just... just a tiny bit."
It's really only a tiny bit!
Chu Zihang looked at her reddened eyes and her still tired face from the hangover, and responded softly with an "Mmm," then took the hangover medicine from the bedside table.
"I've already asked Aunt Tong to make some hangover soup. Remember to drink it later."
The woman watched Chu Zihang stand up, her voice still slightly groggy from not being fully awake, "What about Zihang? Are you going out?"
Chu Zihang nodded, draped his jacket over his arm, and stood ramrod straight. "Some seniors from my school are here, so I'm going to have a get-together with them."
"Okay~"
The door was gently closed. The woman looked at the closed door, then at the hangover medicine on the bed, and suddenly buried her face in the pillow, laughing softly.
.............
The coffee shop door was pushed open, and the wind chimes on the door made a crisp sound.
"I didn't expect to meet you again so soon, junior brother." Ye Sheng said, looking at Chu Zihang in front of him.
"Did this disturb you while you were spending time with your family?"
Chu Zihang shook his head. "No, I have time. Senior brother, is there something urgent that you wanted to see me about?"
That's what they say, but you don't even need to ask to know the answer.
The sudden visit from Kassel College is never just a simple "get-together".
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that we found out you once called on the school's public affairs department..." Shudeya, who was standing next to him, took out a tablet with the school's public affairs department's task notes on it.
"Yes, it's the one I used. Is there a problem?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Sheng gave an awkward smile and spoke.
"It's not that there's a problem, we just want to understand something."
"Regarding the whereabouts of your friend Lu Mingfei."
"Mission?" Chu Zihang asked.
"certainly."
The wind chimes rang again, and a person rushed in and walked to the table where several people were sitting.
"Have you found Lu Mingfei yet? I took the nearest flight and came straight here as soon as I landed."
The newcomer had gray hair, like a layer of unswept snow, sticking out messily. He was wearing a noticeably oversized black suit, with the cuffs rolled up twice to cover the back of his hands, and his trouser legs were also dusty.
"Professor Guderian," Ye Sheng and Jiu Deyaqi stood up simultaneously, "we are still questioning..."
"Okay, okay, I understand. You still haven't found out Lu Mingfei's whereabouts, right?"
Professor Guderian waved his hand, then looked at Chu Zihang, his tone pleading, "Chu Zihang, you know where Lu Mingfei is, right?"
Looking at Professor Guderian, Chu Zihang was momentarily stunned. He had taken this professor's class before, but now...
Compared to the professors in Kassel, the person in front of me looked more like a parent anxiously waiting to see their child.
Chu Zihang pondered for a moment and said, "I did arrange accommodation for him before."
"Where is he now?" Guderian asked anxiously.
"I don't know either," Chu Zihang shook his head. "He seems to have gone out on something."
However, I could try to contact him. Professor, is there something you need from him?
"What is it?" As if sensing Chu Zihang's confusion, Professor Guderian began to explain.
"Of course, we should invite him to join Kassel College! I'm just one student away from being promoted."
Speaking of this, the professor's face was full of joy. Others might not know, but he himself certainly did.
As a full professor in Kassel, Guderian's academic title issue had always been a major concern.
I already have all the other requirements for becoming a tenured professor, except for the last one, which is also the most difficult one.
To train a student with a bloodline level of A.
But students with superior bloodlines are hard to find.
And his only student happens to be a complete slacker who can't even graduate...
Guderian had already given up hope for the rest of his life, but then a message appeared on his phone.
A student with a bloodline rating of S.
Perhaps the principal took pity on him and gave him the opportunity.
"Understood."
Looking at Guderian in front of him, Chu Zihang nodded and dialed the number that was in his memory.
…………
The living room of the villa, in front of the TV screen.
The sound of the handle being rubbed echoed throughout the living room.
Old Tang and Lu Mingfei were sitting cross-legged, their eyes fixed on the two characters on the television screen.
Unlike Lu Mingfei, who remained calm, Old Tang had some sweat on his forehead.
He didn't understand why he had less health when his attack speed was twice that of the people around him.
I've tried so hard.
Why is the sweat still on my face?
"Mingming, your phone is ringing."
As soon as Lu Mingfei's phone rang, Old Tang looked at him as if he had seen a savior and shouted loudly.
Taking advantage of Lu Mingfei turning his head, he immediately controlled his character to unleash a Hadouken.
His movements were swift and decisive, showing no remorse for his sneak attack, but rather a strong desire for victory.
After all, this was an unexpected situation, so it can't be considered a sneak attack.
But things didn't go as he wished. Even though Lu Mingfei had turned his head, the character he was controlling seemed to come alive.
He rolled over the wave, bypassing his character's Hadouken. Then, in his despairing gaze, a cutscene lit up, transitioning into the character's signature yellow-blooded special move.
Old Tang watched helplessly as the super move crashed down, and the screen displayed "KO". He slumped onto the sofa, as if all his strength had been drained.
Lu Mingfei ignored his exhausted expression and picked up the phone instead.
"Senior brother, you were looking for me?"
