Dragon Clan: Force me to be reborn and slay dragons

Chapter 343: Happy to miss Shu
Zhao Xuzhen's fate was not worthy of pity. Professor Mans, who was also aware of the Solomon Temple's modus operandi, simply said "Well done" and then moved on.

When Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya learned that Lu Ming was coming, they couldn't help but feel a little excited.

It wasn't just because Lu Mingfei was now one of their superiors, but also because his last visit had left a deep impression on them. He not only exposed their true colors as a murderous god, but also took them to the police station.

After that, it was as if they were cursed with bad luck. They were arrested by the righteous, then by the underworld, and then by the underworld, they were forced to work as laborers at Kassel College, without any time to rest.

Fortunately, they are now on the same side, and Lu Mingfei will no longer treat them as Japanese.

Perhaps his arrival will solve the problem of the King of Bronze and Fire, and they won't have to risk their lives in the water during the flood season.

With this expectation in mind, the two smiled at each other, preparing to personally pick up their "leader" at the airport the next day to leave a good impression.

Time flies, and the next morning arrived in the blink of an eye.

Morning light streamed into the room through the sheer curtains. Xia Mi turned over on the soft bed and slowly opened her eyes.

Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling and feeling the cool breeze from the air conditioner, she felt a long-lost sense of enjoyment. She blinked and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Humans really know how to enjoy life," she murmured, lingering in bed for a few minutes before slowly getting up to change clothes, wash up, and pack her things.

Soon, the energetic junior schoolmate made a dazzling appearance. She pushed open the bedroom door, ready to capture the stunning gaze of the icy senior with her sweetest smile.

However, the sight in the living room made her face fall instantly.

Instead of the devastatingly handsome and aloof Chu Zihang, there was Fingel sprawled on the sofa like a dead dog. The windows were open for ventilation, but the air still lingered with the strong smell of barbecue and fried chicken.

Last night, Lao Tang didn't go out with him to have fun, and everyone else was in pairs, so he drank alone and was quite happy, until he fell asleep while watching a movie in the middle of the night.

Xia Mi wrinkled her nose and glanced at the kitchen. The trash can was overflowing, but the coffee table was spotless, presumably cleaned by Chu Zihang early in the morning.

She gave a soft hum, walked straight to the refrigerator, found a bottle of ice water, and then found a spray bottle from the balcony, filled it up, and thoughtfully provided a wake-up service for the sleeping Fingel.

"Chichi-"

The cool mist sprayed out and landed precisely on Fingel's face, which was fast asleep and even had a lewd smile on it.

The dream suddenly shattered.

Just a moment ago, Fingel was dreaming of walking hand in hand with his girlfriend on campus, enjoying the envious glances of everyone.

The next second, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy sea, and the biting cold instantly seeped into his bones.

"hiss--!"

He suddenly opened his eyes, his iron-gray pupils contracted sharply, and a fierce aura burst forth like a blade, his disheveled hair standing on end like wolf mane.

Xia Mi blinked, slightly startled. This guy, who seemed like a comedic character, could actually have such a strong sense of pressure?

The confusion upon waking was fleeting. Upon seeing the girl in front of him playing a prank with a spray bottle, Fingel instantly transformed from a solitary wolf king back into a harmless husky. He ruffled his messy hair, yawned, and lazily waved:

"Good morning, junior sister."

"Good morning, Senior Brother Finger." Xia Mi pretended to put away the watering can as if nothing had happened, her smile as sweet as ever, but she couldn't help but replay the scene from just now in her mind.

I have to say, this guy can actually be quite convincing when he's serious.

It's a pity he's already been marked; otherwise, he would be a good candidate for a lackey.

With a quick sense, she found Chu Zihang in the restaurant. She left humming a song, leaving Fingel to wipe his face with a tissue.

Watching the cute junior girl close the door and leave, Fingel couldn't help but purse his lips, thinking to himself that society is really complicated nowadays, and trust between people is pitifully scarce.

After figuring out Old Tang's hidden identity last night, Fingel asked Eva for help. Well, there were some things Eva couldn't say directly due to the rules at the bottom, but she could only hint at them. Fingel also learned that Angers had been secretly watching Old Tang all along.

It was kept very secret, and no one else knew about it. Even Eva only discovered the secret through several coincidences.

Since they had already done the investigation, Fingel simply had Eva pull up Xia Mi's information.

On the surface, her resume appears flawless.

An ordinary, self-aware, wild mixed-race individual with a clear growth trajectory and simple interpersonal relationships.

But who is Fingel? The king of paparazzi, the top detective in the gossip world. He keenly noticed that some details in the information provided by the Chinese branch were slightly vague.

In the past, he probably wouldn't have cared.

After all, before the information age, it was normal for records to be incomplete. Not everyone was like Lu Mingfei, whose every move, from his lecturers to the breakfast shop owner, was recorded by the Secret Service.

Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will inevitably take root and sprout, especially since Fingel has Eva, a super artificial intelligence, to assist him.

Soon, he discovered some details that were logically inconsistent; some of Xia Mi's experiences were too coincidental, and her actions at certain points in time were somewhat ambiguous.

Recalling Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang's reactions when Cheng Shuangfan arrested Shao Nanyin, Finger boldly speculated that Xia Mi might be a traitor!

The reason she kept following Chu Zihang might not just be because she coveted his good looks, but also because she wanted to use him to get firsthand information about Kassel College.

Their trip to the mountain city might very well be aimed at disrupting the Kassel College's operations.

Of course, these are just his irresponsible, unsubstantiated, and unspeakable wild guesses. The truth is probably only known to Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang.

Fingel likes to play dumb, that's true, but he's not really stupid. He wouldn't go so far as to ask such a sensitive question. Lu Mingfei might laugh it off, but Chu Zihang is the type to take things seriously.

"Sigh, it's true that the prettier the woman, the more likely she is to lie." He sighed, stuffed the half-eaten fried chicken that had fallen into his collar into his mouth, and mumbled indistinctly.

He didn't care too much. Anyway, he was already on Lu Mingfei's pirate ship. No matter what Xia Mi and Lao Tang were or what they were up to, Lu Mingfei would be there to protect them. He only needed to cheer them on and watch the show.

After breakfast, the group gathered in the hotel lobby.

Zhou Minhao and Jiang Wanzhi had been waiting for a long time. Like Lu Mingfei and his group of seven, they traveled light and drove directly to the airport.

They took the earliest flight in the morning, while Lu Mingfei's old classmates didn't depart until after noon, so they basically didn't run into each other.

The journey was smooth and uneventful, without any further incidents. Cheng Shuangfan, however, did not accompany them this time.

Last night's confrontation with Zhao Xuzhen left him seething with anger, but he also knew he couldn't be a good nanny. Rather than being an annoying old woman following behind him, he decided to let them have their own fun.

The plane took off, heading to Old Tang's happy hometown. Meanwhile, in the chairman's office of the Su Group.

Su Xiaoqiang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing into the distance through the glass. Although she couldn't see the plane taking off, she knew that Lu Mingfei had gone on another trip with his friends.

"All you do all day is play! Unlike me, you're so diligent!"

She snorted softly to herself, but her eyes never left the azure sky.

"If you want to go, why not go with them? They probably won't refuse."

Su's father's voice came from behind. He looked at his daughter's back, feeling a mix of relief, pride, and heartache.

While other girls her age were indulging in their studies after the college entrance exams, she alone gave up having fun and chose to stay by his side to study, preparing to take over the chairman's responsibilities as soon as possible and share his burdens.

“They have their own things to do. What would I do if I went with them? Would I just cause trouble?” Su Xiaoqiang turned around and glared at her father.

Although Lu Mingfei didn't say it explicitly, Su Xiaoqiang vaguely sensed that he was hiding something from her.

Moreover, she felt that her father seemed to know a little about it as well.

The two of them tacitly kept it from her, as if they didn't want to drag her into the vortex.

But the little fairy was never one to sit and wait for answers. She wouldn't pester him with questions or cry and demand an explanation.

She will use her own methods to get closer to the truth step by step.

Once she seizes her father's position and takes control of the Su Group, I don't believe they can keep it a secret any longer.

……

In the arrival hall of Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport, Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya stood at the arrival gate, while the announcement was broadcasting that a flight from Fuzhou had landed.

“They’re here,” Shutoku Aki suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Sheng looked up and saw nine outstanding young men walking out of the passage, with Lu Mingfei leading the way.

He noticed two unfamiliar faces in the group: a refined man who looked like a business elite and a beautiful woman with an equally capable and outstanding demeanor.

Although they were a little curious about who these two were and how they ended up hanging out with Lu Mingfei, it was obviously not something they needed to care about, so they simply waved to them.

"Hey, isn't this our ace agent?" Lu Mingfei patted Ye Sheng on the shoulder with a grin. "I've missed you so much since we parted ways in Osaka."

After they were rescued from Osaka, Mai Shude took them to work on a water conservancy project and they were never seen again.

Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya greeted the group with smiles. Upon learning of Zhou Minhao and Jiang Wanzhi's identities, they didn't say anything and led everyone to their cars. Professor Mans had specially sent a car over.

"Is the Tang family of Chengdu like the assassin family in the novels, using poison and hidden weapons?" In the mountain city of 8D, the difference in scenery is huge. Xia Mi looked around like a curious child who had never seen the world before, and occasionally asked some strange questions.

Zhou Minhao shook his head slightly: "It's not that mysterious. They are just well-versed in medicine and mechanical engineering and are known for it. However, the Tang family did assassinate many enemy officers during the war."

It was precisely because of the assassination of too many officers that the Tang family was targeted and has not yet fully recovered.

Otherwise, the Zhou family wouldn't have been involved; they alone could have kept Kassel College in check and prevented them from making any trouble.

Xia Mi listened and nodded, occasionally glancing at another car, wanting to see how Norton would react.

Surprisingly, Lao Tang behaved just like a normal person. He chatted and laughed with Long Ma Xun, sometimes taking pictures with his phone, and sometimes whispering together, just like an international student on vacation.

Is this Liu Shan possessing him and triggering his passive skill "Enjoying life in Shu"?

Xia Mi couldn't help but complain in her heart.

But that's fine too, at least we don't have to worry about him suddenly regaining his memories and turning back into his original self.

But what she didn't know was that Lao Tang's heart was far from as calm as it appeared.

Beneath the rushing Yangtze River outside the car window lay his blood-related younger brother, and with each step he took closer, his heart beat faster.

He knew that the moment he found his brother would likely be the end of his life as a human. So now, he wanted to create as many beautiful memories as possible, like a drowning person grasping at a last straw to help them struggle and save themselves.

However, since he clearly said he would take care of everything, let's choose to believe him.

When Lao Tang thought of this, he glanced at the cars driving alongside him while taking a photo with Long Ma Xun.

Inside the car, Lu Mingfei gazed at the scenery he had visited before, but his feelings were quite different.

When he first came last month, he was filled with trepidation and anxiety because he couldn't find his old friends due to the changes in the timeline. In the end, he vented all his anger on the Corpse Guardian of Wushan.

This time, he has found his family and friends, and those who haven't returned know that they are likely still alive, so his mindset is naturally different.

He turned his head and saw Erii with her head pressed against the car window, staring intently.

Sunlight streamed through the glass, illuminating her delicate face. Her long eyelashes cast dappled shadows, like the reflection of a weeping willow in spring on the clear surface of a red agate lake.

I remember the first time I came here in my previous life, Erii was just as amazed by the unique environment of the mountain town as she is now.

Although the shock didn't last long, as the two were lost and wandering in a maze, they unexpectedly found Old Tang's brother, making it a memorable experience.

Unfortunately, nowadays, even if the two of them get lost, they can simply take a shortcut and their legs won't go numb even if they jump off a building hundreds of meters high.

"Are you hungry?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Erii nodded. This morning, she unusually skipped the Five Eyes Fried Rice and just ate some ordinary breakfast to save room for the local delicacies.

Actually, she wasn't very good at handling spicy food. The reason she wanted to eat Chongqing cuisine was because the colors in the information she found were very bright and tempting, and they looked exactly like her hair and eye colors. She even arrogantly told Lu Mingfei that she wanted to try Chongqing's super spicy hot pot.

Lu Mingfei did not stop her. That's life. You have to experience all the flavors of life to make it complete. Erii has already suffered enough in the past. Now it's time to add other flavors.

When the convoy arrived in Fengjie County, it was nearly 2 p.m. Ye Sheng suggested having lunch at the temporary base of Kassel College, where Professor Mans and Caesar and others were waiting.

But Lu Mingfei declined. Su Enxi had already prepared a comfortable guesthouse for them, and he didn't want to be watched while having a meal.

It's not that they don't understand social etiquette, but rather that those who hold the truth in their hands don't need to be bound by worldly formalities.
