Douluo: One man returns, Fan Tianyin smashes Tang San to death

Lu Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm the waves in his heart.

Wang Sheng, this name means a lot to him.

That was his childhood friend and a name that was always on his mind.

Now, there is finally news about Wang Sheng, who has been missing for many years. This is undoubtedly like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

He looked at Ma Hongjun and said in a deep voice, "Verify the information as soon as possible and tell me the exact location."

Ma Hongjun nodded, turned around and was about to leave, but before leaving, he glanced at Cheng Yufeng, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Cheng Yufeng stood aside and watched all this quietly.

Although she didn't understand who Wang Sheng was, she could feel the importance of this name to him from Lu Yu's expression.

She didn't say anything, but just followed Lu Yu silently, with a thoughtful glint in her eyes.

As the sun sets, its afterglow casts a shadow on the official road, stretching the two men's shadows out long.

Lu Yu's pace unconsciously quickened a bit, but countless thoughts were surging in his mind.

Wang Sheng's news came so suddenly that he was caught off guard.

Cheng Yufeng's memories, the abnormality of the Min family, and the unresolved doubts between him and Ma Hongjun are like entangled silk threads, making him vaguely feel that the road ahead is destined to be turbulent.

The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the beach of the East China Sea, creating a layer of fine silver light.

The sea breeze, with a salty smell, gently blew across the corners of Lu Yu's clothes. He stood on the shore, gazing deeply at the boundless sea in the distance.

The sound of waves hitting the rocks is low and rhythmic, as if telling some ancient secret.

Lu Yu's thoughts were not on this sea area, but were drawn to the unsolved mysteries from two years ago by the news brought by Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun stood beside him, his fiery red robe swaying slightly in the night wind. His face was a little tired, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

Just a few hours ago, he hurried to Lu Yu's residence and brought news about Wang Sheng.

Lu Yu still remembers Ma Hongjun panting and speaking rapidly, "Boss, we've found Wang Sheng! He's in the eastern sea area. He's changed a lot, and his strength seems to have increased a lot, but the people who are monitoring him are limited and can't figure out his details."

Ma Hongjun paused, then lowered his voice and added, "Also, he's the one in charge there now, holding considerable power. He's back on business this time and plans to stay for three days."

Lu Yu frowned slightly at that time, and the image of the high-spirited young man at Notting College many years ago emerged in his mind.

Wang Sheng, the one who always follows behind me and calls me "Boss"

The young man had already become one of his most trusted companions during his years at Shrek Academy.

But ever since the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, Wang Sheng has disappeared without a trace.

Now hearing the news from him, Lu Yu felt both happy and confused.

What had Wang Sheng been through? Why had he become the leader? To what extent had his power increased? These questions surged like waves, and he immediately decided to head to the eastern sea to find out.

He turned to look at Cheng Yufeng beside him. The girl was wearing a light blue long dress, her black hair dancing lightly in the night breeze, but her face was a little confused.

Since the brutal battle two years ago, Cheng Yufeng has lost most of his memories and his temperament has become much quieter.

Lu Yu asked tentatively: "Yufeng, do you want to go with us?"

When Cheng Yufeng heard this, his eyes froze slightly, as if complex emotions were flowing in his eyes.

She was silent for a moment, then nodded, her voice as light as the sea breeze: "I'll go."

So the three of them set off overnight.

The eastern waters are remote and the journey is long, with desolate mountains and winding coastlines along the way.

Ma Hongjun led the way, while Lu Yu and Cheng Yufeng walked side by side. They occasionally talked to each other, but most of the time they talked about trivial matters on the way.

Cheng Yufeng's expression was always a little strange, as if he was trying hard to recall something but didn't know where to start.

Lu Yu wanted to say something several times but stopped himself, and finally just stayed by her side silently.

The next night, they finally arrived at a small town in the eastern waters.

The town is not big, built by the sea, and the streets are filled with a faint smell of fish.

The person in charge of monitoring Wang Sheng had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Lu Yu, he respectfully stepped forward and reported: "Sir Lu, Wang Sheng and his group went out to collect medicinal herbs today and are not expected to return until tomorrow."

Lu Yu nodded slightly, signaling the other party to leave, and then took Ma Hongjun and Cheng Yufeng to stay at the inn in the small town.

As the night deepened, the wooden windows of the inn creaked in the sea breeze.

Lu Yu stood in front of the window, his eyes piercing through the night sky and falling on the sea vaguely visible in the distance.

Ma Hongjun sat at the table, chewing a piece of dry food, and said with some emotion: "Boss, this time it is thanks to you that I am where I am today."

He paused and grinned, "You know what? I'm now a level 61 Soul Emperor! I'm considered quite famous among our group, right?"

Lu Yu turned around and looked at Ma Hongjun with gentle eyes.

The chubby boy who was always smiling has now grown into a strong man who can stand on his own.

He walked over, patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder, and said in a low but sincere voice: "Hongjun, you have worked hard over the years. I just gave you some opportunities."

Ma Hongjun scratched his head and chuckled, "Boss, don't be so modest.

Without you, how could I have broken through to the Soul Emperor level so quickly? Speaking of which, I am quite satisfied now, really."

Lu Yu smiled without saying anything, but a warm feeling arose in his heart.

Ma Hongjun's growth made him feel gratified, and also made him more determined to find Wang Sheng and find out what had happened over the years.

At this moment, Cheng Yufeng suddenly stood up and whispered, "Lu Yu, I want to go out for a walk, can you accompany me?"

Her voice was so soft that it was almost drowned out by the sea breeze, but there was a hint of pleading in her eyes.

Lu Yu was startled, then nodded: "Okay, let's go to the beach."

The two left the inn and walked slowly along the cobblestone road of the town towards the other side of the East China Sea.

The sea surface under the night sky is like a huge black mirror, reflecting the stars in the sky. Occasionally, a few seabirds fly by, making low calls.

Lu Yu walked beside Cheng Yufeng, his eyes occasionally sweeping across her profile.

The girl's expression was more complicated than usual, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was struggling with some invisible pain.

"Lu Yu..."

Cheng Yufeng suddenly stopped, staring at the sea, his voice trembling, "I seem to... remember something."

Lu Yu was shocked and quickly turned around and asked softly, "What did you remember? Speak slowly, there's no rush."

Cheng Yufeng bit his lip, his eyes filled with confusion: "I don't think... my name is Cheng Yufeng.

I think my name is...Bai Chenxiang."

She paused, her brow furrowed even tighter. "There was also something that happened two years ago. I seem to remember some fragments, but my mind is a mess, as if something has been torn apart..."

Her words were broken and intermittent, her voice growing softer and softer until finally she clutched her head in anguish, her body trembling slightly. Seeing this, Lu Yu's heart tightened. He quickly stepped forward, gently put his arm around her shoulder, and whispered comfortingly, "Yu Feng, don't force yourself."

It doesn’t matter if you can’t remember, we’ll take it slowly.”

Cheng Yufeng leaned in his arms, his breathing gradually calmed down, but the confusion in his eyes did not dissipate.

She whispered, "Lu Yu, thank you... I just feel that those memories seem very important, but I can't grasp them."

Lu Yu patted her back gently, but a trace of bitterness rose in his heart.

In that battle two years ago, Cheng Yufeng lost too much, not just her memories, but also her family and her past.

He secretly made up his mind to help her find the lost pieces no matter what.

At this moment, a deep cry came from a distance: "General Cheng!"

Lu Yu turned his head and saw a man in armor walking towards him quickly.

The man had a tall and straight figure, with the mark of the Garo Empire engraved on his armor. His face was firm but a bit weathered.

Cheng Yufeng raised his head, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Pan An?"

Pan An approached, his eyes moving between Cheng Yufeng and Lu Yu, a complicated look on his face: "General Cheng, I didn't expect to meet you here."

He paused, his voice low, "You... have changed so much."

Cheng Yufeng was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly and said, "Haven't you changed a lot? Judging from your armor, you must be a general leading troops outside, right?"

Pan An nodded, but a hint of bitterness flashed in his eyes: "Yes, after my father died, I wanted to avenge him.

Now at least I have achieved some success and my strength has also broken through, but..."

He did not continue speaking, but turned to look at Cheng Yufeng, his tone heavy, "I heard about what happened to General Cheng. I feel sorry for you."

Cheng Yufeng's face turned pale when he heard this. After a moment of silence, he whispered, "Thank you, Pan An."

Pan An sighed, his eyes filled with emotion, “Two years ago on the battlefield, my father and General Cheng both…we had similar experiences.

Seeing you today, I couldn't help but come forward and talk to you."

Cheng Yufeng nodded slightly, as if suppressing some emotion, then she turned to look at Lu Yu and introduced him, "This is Lu Yu, my good friend.

If it weren't for him two years ago, I would have already..."

She didn't finish her words, but the gratitude in her eyes was obvious.

Upon hearing this, Pan An looked at Lu Yu in surprise, a flash of memory in his eyes: "Lu Yu? But is this the Lu Yu who aided the Jialuo Empire on the battlefield two years ago?"

Lu Yu smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "I just did my best and couldn't really help."

Pan An quickly shook his head and said solemnly, "No, Brother Lu, your assistance that time will be remembered by everyone in the Jialuo Empire."

He paused, and said sincerely, "It's fate that we can meet again today."

Cheng Yufeng asked curiously, "Pan An, what are you doing here?"

Pan An gave a bitter smile and said, "I've been ordered to come and greet a senior from another land. He has a strange temper and acts mysteriously, so I can't ask too many questions."

When Lu Yu heard this, his heart moved slightly, but he did not delve into it. He just nodded and left with Cheng Yufeng.

The next morning, Ma Hongjun found Lu Yu early and told him that Wang Sheng had returned to the town and was staying in an inn.

Lu Yu took Cheng Yufeng and went with Ma Hongjun.

The inn is located in the center of the town, with "Sea Breeze Residence" engraved on the wooden door plaque.

These three words exude an ancient atmosphere.

Pushing the door open, Lu Yu saw two people sitting by the window. One of them had a tall figure and a face that was familiar yet a little strange. It was Wang Sheng.

When Wang Sheng saw Lu Yu, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes, and he blurted out subconsciously: "Boss!"

Lu Yu's eyes softened as he walked forward with Cheng Yufeng, looking Wang Sheng up and down. He whispered, "How have you been these years?"

Wang Sheng gave a bitter laugh, glanced around, and whispered, "There are too many people here, it's not convenient to talk."

He turned to look at the woman beside him and whispered, "Qiqi, find a quiet place."

The woman's name was Qiqi. She had a pretty face and a calm temperament. She immediately stood up when she heard the words, and after a while she brought a few people to a secluded room.

The room was simply furnished, with a teapot on a wooden table and several celadon teacups emitting a faint tea fragrance.

Wang Sheng sat down, took a sip of the teacup, and looked at Lu Yu with complicated eyes: "Boss, I came back this time to find out about you, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Lu Yu also sat down opposite him, and Cheng Yufeng stood beside him, looking at Wang Sheng curiously.

Lu Yu said softly: "I have been looking for you, and it took a lot of effort to find your whereabouts.

What have you been through in these years?

He paused, a hint of reminiscence in his voice, "We walked out of Notting College together, and went through Shrek College and the Advanced Soul Master College Elite Competition. We've been through so many things together.

But after that, you disappeared, and even the Wang family was taken over by the Spirit Hall..."

When Wang Sheng heard this, the teacup in his hand trembled slightly, and a few drops of tea splashed onto the table.

He was silent for a long time, a flash of pain in his eyes, and whispered: "Two years ago, I returned to the family and wanted to prepare some medicinal herbs for my father.

Unexpectedly, in just three months, the Spirit Hall sent a large number of powerful people.

My father...he died at the hands of the enemy, and I almost did..."

He took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress his emotions. “If Qiqi’s family hadn’t come to my rescue, I would have died long ago.”

Lu Yu listened quietly, with a heavy look in his eyes.

He could feel the anger and helplessness in Wang Sheng's words. The pains of the past seemed to turn into invisible shackles, weighing on Wang Sheng's heart.

Wang Sheng put down the teacup, looked up at Lu Yu, and his eyes were more determined: "Boss, I have been in the East China Sea for these years and have gradually established a firm foothold.

Now I come back to seek justice for my family."

Lu Yu nodded, a hint of relief in his eyes: "No matter what you do, I will support you."

He paused, his tone serious, "But you have to be careful. The Wuhun Empire's forces are now intertwined and complex, and are far more difficult to deal with than they were back then."

Wang Sheng gave a bitter smile: "I know, that's why I need your help even more, Boss."

The atmosphere in the room became quiet, and the aroma of tea slowly spread in the air.

Lu Yu's gaze shifted away from Wang Sheng and fell on the boundless sea outside the window.

The night was deep, and the moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the bluestone road of the small town on the southern border, reflecting a cool glow.

Lu Yu stood in front of a low wooden house. The mottled paint marks on the wooden door told of the traces of time.

He knocked gently on the door, his voice unusually clear in the quiet night. (End of Chapter)
