Why did you provoke me?

Yu Meng didn't object to Niannian's suggestion. To be honest, ever since she figured out how to deal with these alien creatures, she hadn't been very interested in the people of the Upper Realm.

She didn't provoke her, so why should she provoke her?

If it weren't for the fear of something going wrong during Nian Nian's revenge, she would never have followed. She'd rather spend that time guarding the little black cat and those two big rocks. Those were the real sources of her strength.

The Lu family's mansion and the Chen family's mansion are completely different in style.

The layout of the blue bricks and gray tiles instantly elevates the style of the entire mansion. Compared to the elegant houses with small bridges and flowing water of the Chen family, the people living here are clearly of extraordinary status.

"Jing San, are you sure that person lives here? We'd better not barge into this kind of place," Yu Meng asked in a deep voice.

"Fourth Sister, do you know whose house this is?"

"Doesn't it say so? The Lu family residence. Anyone who can have their surname displayed at their gate is no ordinary person."

Chen Ming's heart trembled. The Lu family—that was one of the most powerful and wealthy families in the capital. Most importantly, they had a private army. If they broke in, they could kill you without any consequences.

"Teacher Yu, we'd better not offend the Lu family; they have guns."

Yu Meng then looked at Jing San. "What about the other family? Is it the same kind of family?"

Jing San pursed her lips and nodded, "Pretty much, and the surname is also displayed on the door."

"You have a really good eye." It was hard to tell whether Yu Meng's words were a compliment or a joke.

"Fourth Sister, if we can't even get past these two places, then we've come all this way for nothing."

"We can't just barge in," Yu Meng said with a smile, "but nobody said we can't just pass by."

"Just passing by? Why are you just passing by?" Everyone looked at Yu Meng.

"Hmm, for example, when we were moon-gazing, we passed over the Lu residence. We also noticed something." Yu Meng looked up at the dark sky. There didn't seem to be a moon tonight.

"Fourth Sister, it has to be you. If anyone asks, just say it like this." Niannian excitedly spun around in place.

Jing San glanced at Chen Ming, "You can't fly, so just wait outside."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming immediately nodded, "I'll listen to Third Brother." Jing San's words were exactly what he wanted to say; his family couldn't afford to offend the Lu family.

"Fourth Sister, how do we get here?"

Yu Meng blinked. "Shouldn't you guys come up with the ideas? I'll provide the concepts, and you'll carry them out."

"Third Brother," Niannian called out, sounding aggrieved.

"Don't rush, let me go scout ahead first."

"Together," Jing Er said.

The two walked off in opposite directions, one to the left and one to the right. Yu Meng glanced at Chen Ming, "You should find a place to hide too."

"Teacher Yu, then you all be careful." Chen Ming said and ran away.

Confused, she saw Yu Meng and asked, "Fourth Sister? Shall we go in?"

Yu Meng shook her head. "What should we say after we go in? Let's find a place to wait and see if Jing Er and Jing San can find a solution."

"Fourth Sister, so you don't have any good ideas either." Niannian hugged Yu Meng's arm with a grin.

"Don't talk about me, do you have one?" Yu Meng retorted.

"Fourth Sister, even if I had it, I wouldn't dare show off. That person comes from the Upper Realm. If he catches me, how could I possibly survive?"

The two stood in the shadows, talking quietly.

Half an hour later, Yu Meng's communication bell began to vibrate.

Jing San's message came over: "Teacher Yu, I feel something is very wrong with the Lu residence. It's too quiet, so quiet it's unsettling."

"Be more specific." Yu Meng's hands moved quickly as she tapped on the communication bell.

"So far, I haven't seen a single person moving around outside. I even sneaked into a room and there was no one there."

Just then, Jing Er's message came through.

"Teacher Yu, I found many people sleeping unconscious in a storage room. I tried to wake them up to extract information, but no matter what I did, they wouldn't wake up."

"Fourth Sister, what's wrong?" Niannian asked softly.

"What they mean is that there isn't a single person in the entire Lu family who can walk right now," Yu Meng said succinctly.

"What do you mean?" Niannian asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It means that something unexpected has happened at the Lu residence."

"Is it dangerous? Should we participate?" Niannian was still very concerned about the unexpected.

Yu Meng was conflicted. She didn't want to meddle in other people's business. But according to Jing Er and Jing San, if she didn't take action, the Lu residence would probably become a dead house tomorrow.

"Fourth Sister," Niannian called out softly again.

"Send a message to Chen Ming and tell him to concentrate the Chen family's military forces; we might need them later."

"Is it that serious?"

Yu Meng took a deep breath. "I hope I'm just overthinking it."

"Niannian, use the lines to find your way in."

The Lu residence occupies a large area, yet there was not a sound in the first courtyard.

The two dared not be careless. Jing San had said that the person from the upper realm was in the Lu family, and perhaps all of this was related to him.

Everything was peaceful here until He Jing and San reunited.

Yu Meng frowned; this didn't seem to make sense. Even if they wanted something from the Lu family, there should be someone guarding the place and keeping watch.

A soft chuckle sounded overhead. "I told you you were a bunch of fools, but you wouldn't believe me. These little mice have been dawdling for ages, and that's all they've got. They haven't even found our location."

"Young Master is right, we were blind. Shall we throw these people into the basement too, and take them with us later?"

"There are two more little girls. My mutant form didn't react, so they're probably not geniuses. Whatever." This was the third person's voice.

Yu Meng raised her head slightly. Above them stood three people side by side. It seemed as if something was supporting them from beneath their feet.

Niannian reacted quickly, "Wow, people who can fly? Third Brother, Fourth Sister, people who can fly! I've seen them in sketchbooks, I never thought it was real!" Her face was full of admiration, her hands were clasped together in front of her chest, and her eyes were slightly closed. "This trip was really worth it, I can brag about this for the rest of my life when I get back."

"Hahaha, she's still dreaming! Going back?" This was the second person to speak.

"Little girl, I'll take you to a place where you can fly too, would you like?" This was the fourth person speaking. The voice grew closer, and there was a hint of laughter in it.

"Really? You can all fly? If I go, I can fly too?" Niannian replied happily. "Can my third brother and fourth sister go? They want to fly too."

"Alright, come on, take these pills, and you can all come back with me."

Before Nian Nian could answer, the young master, who had been standing in the air, became displeased. "Black Fourth Brother, are you trying to steal our person?"

"Young Master Wei, I didn't try to take your people away from you. They asked me themselves. I was just telling the truth."

He tossed the medicine bottle to Niannian, saying, "Little girls, you've got your chance, so you'd better seize it."

Niannian reached out to take the medicine bottle. "Of course, I want to fly, but I've wanted to for a long time." Her eyes and expression revealed her to be a dreamy girl.
