Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 506 Aki's Resentment

The timelines of different time and space in past and present lives suddenly connected and matched at this moment.

In 2009, Lu Mingfei was a freshman, Chu Zihang was a sophomore, and Finger started his eighth grade. Ye Sheng and Ya Ji, who had just graduated, came to Lu Mingfei's hometown with Nuonuo and became Lu Mingfei's admission interview assistants.

Afterwards, Nuo Nuo took Lu Mingfei to the United States, while Ye Sheng and Ya Ji stayed in China and followed Professor Mans to implement the "Kuimen Plan".

Lu Mingfei was not very clear about the specific details of the "Kuimen Project", and he did not know whether Aji and the others had participated in the "Eye of Kuimen" ruins exploration mission before participating in the "Kuimen Project" like this time.

The reason for this is that the "Kuimen Project" is not a positive case among the many missions to face the Dragon King. The professor who led the mission died, all members of the elite team were wiped out, and even the enemy was not a Dragon King, but just a second-generation dragon servant.

Once the details of the mission were made public, it would have a huge impact on the confidence of young students in the dragon-slaying career. Therefore, the confidentiality level of the relevant files was adjusted to a very high level.

In fact, Lu Mingfei's authority was very high. With his "S" level authority, he could directly retrieve the relevant files of the "Kuimen Project" from Norma's database in the library for review. But Lu Mingfei had never done so.

The reason was probably because he could never face the cruel "war". He could not accept that when he participated in the admission interview of Kassel College, the senior sister who smiled at him as soon as he entered the door and kindly reminded him of Japanese pronunciation had become a skeleton under the Yangtze River.

But fortunately, there is still a chance to change everything...

Lu Mingfei thought so and immediately turned around to look at Shude Aki on his right.

And then...he and Shude Aki glared at each other.

No, to be precise, both of them have quite big eyes.

As for Jude Aki, he actually wasn't staring at Lu Mingfei all the time.

But when following Yin Lizhen, he kept thinking about Lu Mingfei's calm performance when facing Deadpool, and the knowledge he knew that Aki herself did not know. He felt that his junior brother seemed to be more mysterious than he had imagined.

Out of curiosity, he turned his head and secretly glanced at Lu Mingfei.

Just after she looked away for a few seconds, Lu Mingfei suddenly turned back.

The moment he met Lu Mingfei's gaze, Jude Aki was still in a daze.

It was not until she saw the gradually rising expression of doubt in the boy's eyes that Aki suddenly came to her senses. She thought that she was caught peeking at Lu Mingfei, so she hurriedly looked away!

After moving away, Aki's heartbeat quickened and she immediately realized that something was wrong...

No, it's not peeking!

I just took a look out of curiosity. It was really just a glance!
Just thinking about her hasty reaction just now, Aki suddenly realized that her reaction seemed a little intense and unusual.

What if Junior Brother Yilu misunderstood something and thought that I had been staring at him? !

Wouldn't that ruin the image of a reliable senior sister that I had worked so hard to establish...

How about explaining it to Junior Brother Lu? Just say that I didn't stare at him for a long time, just for a while... No, no, why does it feel like the more I explain, the worse it gets?

Then again, why was I so nervous? Wasn't it just a sneak peek at Junior Brother Lu? As a senior sister, it was reasonable for me to look after my junior brother, right?

My reaction is really weird...

It's just like a little girl who always follows the boy she likes, and when she is peeking at the boy one day, he suddenly turns around and catches her in the act.

"..."

Aki couldn't help but want to cover her face, wondering what kind of crappy metaphors she was thinking of.
The next moment, Yaji's heart trembled, and she suddenly felt as if she had found a good reason. She turned her gaze back to meet Lu Mingfei's gaze.

As for Lu Mingfei, he saw the expression on Yaji's pretty face flickering, as if there was some kind of struggle going on in his heart. He wondered if his behavior just now had revealed something, which made Yaji suspicious...

After all, knowledge like "Blood Rage" is an absolute secret even within the Lionheart Society. Only high-ranking members of the Lionheart Society like Chu Zihang or Su Si know this secret.

Obviously, this can no longer be explained by the excuse of "I studied in Hawaii". Even the preparatory class of Kassel College obviously will not teach students such knowledge beyond the syllabus.

Lu Mingfei was just thinking about what reason he should find to explain if it was really Aki who suspected him.

He saw Aki suddenly shift his gaze and meet his eyes again.

"That's right! That's the one!"

Aki was preparing to start her speech with confidence. Maybe it was because the light inside the corridor was not bright enough, but from Lu Mingfei's perspective, Aki's face looked a little dark red.

"I noticed that your mouth was a little chapped just now, and I thought you might have a dry mouth, so I wanted to ask if you wanted some water?"

"..."

Lu Mingfei's face, which had been carefully groomed by the little angel and had a Japanese-style broken beauty, was finally broken at this moment - the expression was broken.

He was dumbfounded. The reason why the senior sister had been staring at him just now was... just to ask him if he wanted to drink some water?

The moment this reason was spoken, Shude Aki was confused.

This is often the case. When you are faced with a very important and tense matter that requires an urgent reason, your little head will spin wildly, and then suddenly an idea will come to you, and you feel as if you have suddenly used your own wonderful ideas to find a perfect reason.

When you say this reason confidently, you will realize that the reason you thought of is so embarrassing...!
However, after hearing what Yaji said, Lu Mingfei realized that his mouth seemed to be dry. After all, it had been a while since the last rest and replenishment, and he had used the Word Spirit and argued with Yin Lizhen for so long, so he was indeed a little dry in the mouth.

"Since Senior Sister reminded me of this, I feel like my mouth is a little dry."

Lu Mingfei smiled and nodded to Aki.

Seeing that Lu Mingfei seemed to understand without any misunderstanding, Jiude Aki smiled at Lu Mingfei and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked at Zero on his left.

Even though I still feel a little guilty about sharing a bottle of water with Zero...but we already drank from the bottle mouth to mouth once before, so it doesn't seem to matter the second time?

Besides, Ling is also a good brother. Drinking a bottle of water with a brother is not considered an indirect kiss. If you care too much, the friendship will deteriorate!
As soon as Lu Mingfei turned his gaze towards Ling, he saw Ling holding an empty bottle in his hand, waving it at him expressionlessly.

"No more." Zero's voice sounded innocent.

In fact, it didn't matter that Ling's water bottle was empty. After all, according to Yin Lizhen, they would be able to meet Ye Sheng Selma and the others not far ahead, and then Yin Lizhen would take them away from the mausoleum. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with being dry-mouthed for the time being.

It's just that after Ling said that his water was gone, he added the next sentence: "It seems that there is still half a bottle in Senior Sister's bottle."

"..." Aki had just breathed a sigh of relief, feeling lucky that she had finally overcome this hurdle... and then she heard Zero suddenly calling her name and dragging her back into the battlefield, and she was stunned again.

If it weren't for the fact that Zero's gaze towards Aki was so pure and innocent, Aki would have almost suspected that she had offended this junior sister in some way.

It was just that it was Aki who started asking Lu Mingfei if he wanted to drink water...

She looked down at the water in her trouser pocket, the water line swaying up and down above the signature of the high-quality idol Wang Erge on the outer packaging of the water bottle. There was indeed more than half a bottle left.

For no reason, Yaji recalled the bottle of water that she failed to hand to Lu Mingfei during the previous supply replenishment.

But think about it, in fact, this matter is not a big deal. Selma and Ye Sheng drank a bottle of water together, and Sister Ling and Brother Lu also drank a bottle of water together just now. Exchanging supplies and resources is what partners who are carrying out tasks together should do when facing resource scarcity.

Even if it's just drinking a bottle of water mouth to mouth, what's wrong? You're not a middle school student anymore, why would you get excited about indirect kissing? When necessary, even artificial respiration is normal.

Well, it’s okay as long as you don’t think too much!
Thinking of this, Yaji took a deep breath quietly, suppressed the chaotic emotions and chaotic heartbeat in her heart, nodded towards Lu Mingfei, smiled and said: “Well, Junior Brother Lu, I still have some water, you can drink mine if you are thirsty.”

Lu Mingfei thought, Senior Sister, why do these words of yours sound a bit weird...

"…Then thank you, Senior Sister."

Of course, Lu Mingfei had no idea what kind of struggle between man and god was going on in Aji's heart, so he naturally took the water bottle from Aji.

Aki watched Lu Mingfei unscrewing the bottle cap, and the drumbeat that had been suppressed with great difficulty could not help but thump again. In her heart, she couldn't help but think about how Lu Mingfei would drink her water...

It should be like Ye Sheng and Selma drinking through the air, right? But what if it is mouth to mouth like Sister Ling...?
Lu Mingfei raised the water bottle higher, and Aki's little heart seemed to be raised higher in an instant.

turn out--

The sound of water splashing.

——Drinking from a distance.

Lu Mingfei wiped the water from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, screwed the cap on and returned the bottle to Yaji, saying with a smile: "Thank you, Senior Sister."

Yaji nodded calmly, took the water bottle from Lu Mingfei, then looked away and said calmly, "Junior brother, when supplies are scarce, it is a shame to waste water resources."

"..."

Lu Mingfei looked at Yaji's cold profile. For some reason, he suddenly saw in this beautiful senior sister the resentful expressions of those girls who hurriedly ran over to give Chu Zihang water during the halftime break when Chu Zihang was participating in a basketball game at Shilan Middle School, and were ruthlessly rejected by his expressionless senior brother.

Yin Lizhen, who had been walking in front and leading the way, suddenly laughed for some reason and said, "You young people are really interesting."

"???"

Lu Mingfei scratched his head in confusion: "What's so interesting?"

"Haha, nothing." Yin Lizhen said lightly.

"Oh, right." At this time, Ling spoke again: "You just said that this mausoleum can only imprison the King of Bronze and Fire for thirty-two generations. What happens after thirty-two generations?"

"After thirty-two years, the seal of this mausoleum will dissolve on its own. At that time, it will become an ordinary mausoleum and will no longer be able to lock up the dragon servant in the Bronze City who has been trying to break the seal."

"Why is the time exactly the thirty-second Jiazi period?"

"Although this matter involves the secrets of our Yin family's geomancy, two thousand years have passed and the Yin family probably no longer exists, so it doesn't matter much if I tell you."

Yin Lizhen said: "This Longling was built according to the Chinese geomancy. The Yin family is a family of geomancy that has been passed down for thousands of years. The ancestor is Guan Zhong, the Duke of Yiwu, who assisted Duke Huan of Qi. Do you know what Guan Zhong's surname is?"

Lu Mingfei was just about to ask if Guan Zhong's surname wasn't Guan, when he heard Ling beside him whisper, "His surname is Ji."

Yin Lizhen smiled and nodded: "Yes, the surname is Ji. He is from the same family as King Wen and King Wu who defeated King Zhou. Then do you know who came up with the most important theory in Chinese geomancy, Fuxi's sixty-four hexagrams?"

"King Wen of Zhou, Ji Chang."

Ling said calmly, "I see. You mean to say that Guan Zhong is actually a descendant of the Ji family of the Zhou Dynasty, and your Yin family's ancestor is Guan Zhong, so your Yin family has the oldest inheritance of Chinese geomancy. No wonder Liu Xiu was able to rise quickly after getting the support of your Yin family, and even your Yin family was able to assist him in defeating the King of Bronze and Fire."

Jiude Aki, who had been listening nearby, suddenly showed surprise: "The Yin family's ancestor actually came from King Wen of Zhou, Ji Chang? This is a major academic discovery. I will have to report it to the professor when the time comes..."

Yin Lizhen smiled with satisfaction: "Little foreign girl, you are very smart. Are you from the Xiongnu? Or from the Kushans further north?"

Ling nodded coldly: "I am the princess of the Kushan Kingdom."

...The dead setting is back.

Ling said, "But it still doesn't explain why it can only seal the Bronze and Fire Kings for thirty-two Jiazi. If you built this silver mausoleum according to Fuxi's theory of sixty-four hexagrams, shouldn't it be sixty-four Jiazi for the Bronze and Fire Kings?"

Yin Lizhen said: "The White Emperor is the Dragon King who controls fire and is of the Yang element. If we want to suppress him, we can only build according to the Yin Yao. In Fuxi's sixty-four hexagrams, the Yin Yao and Yang Yao are exactly half each, and after taking half, there are exactly thirty-two."

This answer seemed to explain Zero's doubts, and she stopped asking further questions about the issue.

"I have one last question."

Ling said: "When we were exploring this mausoleum before, the internal structure of this mausoleum would always suddenly change on its own from time to time. Do you know what the reason is?"

Yin Lizhen replied: "There is a living spirit guarding the entrance of the mausoleum. As long as someone passes through the guarding living spirit once, the structure of the mausoleum will be disrupted again."

Lu Mingfei recalled the several times he had disrupted and reorganized the maze before.

Shortly after the first reorganization, he and Zero met Senior Sister Aki and the others who had just arrived.

What about the reorganization just now?

Just as Lu Mingfei was thinking this, he heard Yin Lizhen say calmly, "We're here."

Then, a strong light suddenly shone from the intersection in front of him, forcing Lu Mingfei to shield his eyes with his hands. Selma's voice came from the strong light:

"I met them! It's Aki and Junior Brother Lu!"
