I started by watching videos, and I chose 10,000 combat power.

Luo Fei didn't stay long at his aunt's house. He drank a glass of water and then got up to say goodbye.

Luo Yumei saw him to the door and reminded him to be careful while driving.

Zhao Lin poked her head out of the room and waved at him.

"Brother, come visit often!"

Luo Fei smiled and nodded, then stepped into the elevator.

He went downstairs, got in his car, and returned to the villa.

As soon as the car was parked in the garage and the door was opened to enter the living room, the aroma of food wafted over.

Chu Yue was carrying two plates of food out of the kitchen when she saw him and said, "You're back? Perfect timing, I just finished cooking."

Luo Fei washed his hands and sat down at the dining table.

There were three dishes and a soup on the table.

Chu Yue took off her apron and sat down opposite him.

The two picked up their chopsticks and ate their meal quietly.

After eating for a while, Luo Fei asked, "How's your mastery of the second set of movements going?"

Chu Yue swallowed the food in her mouth and answered seriously, "I need to practice for a few more days."

Luo Fei nodded: "Once you've fully mastered the second set, you'll have to go back to the Special Operations Brigade. The brigade commander is waiting for you to train the Hunter Blade Squad."

Chu Yue paused for a moment when she heard the words "Hunter Blade Squad".

The images of those dozen or so soldiers flashed through her mind.

They were all unruly troublemakers, and they wouldn't submit to anyone on the training field. When they saw female soldiers, they acted all high and mighty and arrogant.

Should I go back and teach them body-refining techniques?

Chu Yue's lips involuntarily curled upwards slightly, but she quickly pursed them, suppressing her smile.

But Luo Fei still caught the fleeting glint of cunning in her eyes.

He glanced at her: "What? Did you think of something good?"

Chu Yue quickly shook her head, her expression returning to seriousness: "No, no. I just thought about going back to teach them, and I think it would be quite interesting."

She paused, then added, "I will teach you seriously."

Luo Fei didn't ask any further questions and continued eating.

Chu Yue lowered her head, picking at the rice in her bowl, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

She could already picture that scene.

The scene of those male soldiers who were usually arrogant in front of her being trained to the point of being unable to get up from the ground.

Just thinking about it makes me feel good.

After finishing her meal, Chu Yue took the initiative to clear the dishes and take them to the kitchen to wash.

Luo Fei went to the living room, lay down on the sofa, and took out his phone to watch short videos.

My two younger sisters have both started school.

This usually bustling villa suddenly fell silent.

Luo Fei was scrolling through his phone when a short video popped up.

The background music is grand, and the visuals are a simulated starry sky animation.

A deep, resonant male voice announced: "Breaking astronomical discovery! An exoplanet with a diameter of approximately 30 kilometers, named 'Outlet,' has entered our solar system. Scientists calculate that in about six months, this object will make its closest approach to Earth's orbit. At that time, the public will be able to observe this visitor from the depths of space with the naked eye!"

The video is accompanied by a simulated trajectory diagram, showing a point of light streaking across the solar system and passing near Earth.

After reading it, Luo Fei showed no expression and simply swiped his finger upwards.

The next video popped up.

Several scantily clad women swayed in front of the camera.

He leaned back on the sofa and continued scrolling.

At 2 p.m., sunlight streamed into the living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Luo Fei stood up and said to Chu Yue, who was idly pressing the TV remote, "Let's go to the yard."

Chu Yue nodded, turned off the TV, and followed him into the yard.

The backyard isn't big, but it's covered with grass, enough for two people to move around in.

Luo Fei stood in the center of the lawn and began to demonstrate.

His movements were slow, and he broke down every detail clearly.

"Spread your arms out like this, lower your waist and hips, and put your weight on the balls of your feet."

Chu Yue stood to his side and behind him, watching intently and mimicking his gestures.

Luo Fei taught very carefully, and Chu Yue learned very diligently.

She was already quite quick to learn, and with the foundation laid by the first set of movements, she mastered the second set of movements faster than Luo Fei had expected.

Time passed little by little.

The sun slowly began to set in the west.

Luo Fei's phone suddenly rang.

He stopped what he was doing, took out his phone, and glanced at the caller ID.

The call was connected.

"Hey, is that Uncle Fu?"

On the other end of the phone, Luo Youfu's voice was urgent: "Xiaofei, you need to go back to the village right away! Come to the agritainment business; someone is looking for your parents!"

Luo Fei frowned slightly: "Who is it?"

Luo Youfu paused, his tone somewhat complicated: "You'll understand when you get here. It's hard to explain over the phone, so hurry up."

A hint of doubt flashed through Luo Fei's mind, but he didn't press further: "Okay, I'll go back right away."

He hung up the phone and looked at Chu Yue.

Chu Yue overheard the phone conversation and said, "You go ahead, I'll practice a little longer myself."

Luo Fei nodded, strode towards the garage, drove out of the D9, and headed towards Liuxi Village.

While driving, Luo Fei dialed Lao Wu's number.

The phone rang twice and was answered.

"Mr. Luo."

Old Wu's voice came over, but his tone was a bit off, and he sounded hesitant.

Luo Fei asked directly, "What's the situation with my parents?"

Old Wu paused for two seconds before saying, "Mr. Luo, our people are on the scene. Your parents are safe and in no danger. It's just that things are a bit complicated."

"Complex?" Luo Fei's voice deepened. "How complex?"

Old Wu fell silent again, seemingly considering his words.

After a moment, he said, "Mr. Luo, you should come and see for yourself. I can only say that these people who came have some connection with your mother. But how to handle it is up to your mother herself."

Luo Fei sensed the hidden meaning in his words and didn't press him further.

"I see."

He hung up the phone and stepped on the gas.

The car went a little faster.

A dozen minutes later, as soon as the car entered Liuxi Village, Luo Fei sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.

The elderly people who usually chat at the village entrance were nowhere to be seen.

Luo Fei didn't stop and drove straight to the farmhouse.

Even when they were still dozens of meters away from the farmhouse, Luo Fei could see a large crowd gathered at the entrance, a dense mass of people.

There were elderly people from the village, women holding children, and several young men climbing over the low wall to peer inside.

Luo Fei parked the car on the side of the road, got out, and walked over.

Someone in the crowd turned around, saw him, and paused for a moment.

"Xiao Fei is back!"

Someone shouted.

The crowd automatically parted to make way.

Luo Fei walked in, his gaze passing through the crowd and landing on the courtyard of the farmhouse.

Several people were standing in the courtyard.

An elderly woman with gray hair was wearing a floral shirt. Her face was deeply wrinkled, her eyes were red, and she was clutching a handkerchief in her hand, constantly wiping the corners of her eyes.

Standing next to her was a middle-aged man, bald, with a beer belly, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, with his hands on his hips, looking somewhat impatient.

Standing next to the man was a woman in her early twenties with curly hair, bright red lipstick, and a tight-fitting dress. She was carrying a designer bag, but it was clearly a fake, with the leather peeling.

She was scrutinizing her surroundings with a critical eye, her face full of disdain.

Standing opposite them were Luo Fei's parents.

Luo Weidong kept a straight face and remained silent.

Li Xiulan had her head down, so her expression was not visible, but her shoulders were trembling slightly.

Luo Youfu stood to the side, looking troubled.

Luo Fei's gaze swept over the three people, then turned to his mother.

He walked over and called out, "Mom."

Li Xiulan raised her head.

Her eyes were a little red, but she didn't cry.

Seeing her son, she forced a smile: "Xiaofei, you're here."

Luo Fei stood beside her and asked softly, "What happened?"

Li Xiulan opened her mouth, but no words came out.

At this moment, the bald man spoke.

He looked Luo Fei up and down, his eyes scrutinizing him: "You're Xiulan's son? You've grown so much."

His tone was casual, as if he were greeting a junior.

Luo Fei ignored him and looked at the village chief.

Luo Youfu sighed and lowered his voice, saying, "Xiao Fei, this man claims to be your mother's younger brother. This old lady says she's your mother's mother. And that woman is your mother's niece."

He pointed to the woman with the perm.

Luo Fei's gaze swept over the three people again.

He turned to look at his mother with a puzzled expression.

Li Xiulan kept her head down, and Luo Weidong's expression became even more unpleasant.

The courtyard suddenly fell silent.

Only the old woman's sobs echoed intermittently.

Luo Fei had already vaguely guessed what was going on.

He knew from a young age that his mother was adopted.

Her maternal grandfather found her shortly after her mother was born and raised her alone.

But my maternal grandfather passed away early, and my mother dropped out of school to work when she was a teenager, suffering a lot.

She only started living a normal life after marrying her father.

And the mother's biological parents...

He had never heard his mother mention it before, from childhood to adulthood.

Now, they've suddenly appeared.

Luo Fei looked at the old woman, then at the bald man and the woman with permed hair, and he understood what was going on.

He didn't speak, he just watched quietly.

The bald man felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, coughed lightly, and said, "Nephew, don't look at us like that. Your grandmother and I have come here specifically to see your mother. We've been thinking of her all these years."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Li Xiulan, his tone tinged with reproach: "Sister, you know, Mom has been talking about you all these years, missing you terribly. This time, she finally found out you were here and came all this way to see you, and you, on the other hand, didn't even say a word."

Li Xiulan kept her head down.

But Luo Fei noticed that her fingers were trembling slightly.

The woman with the perm spoke up then, her voice shrill: "That's right, Auntie, Grandma is so old, she came all this way to see you, and you won't even pour her a glass of water, that's just too much..."

Before she could finish speaking, Luo Fei glanced at her, and she swallowed the rest of her sentence.

Luo Fei's gaze was so calm it was unsettling.

He looked at the old woman.

The old woman was still wiping away tears, muttering something indistinctly.

But her eyes kept glancing towards the new house.

Luo Fei glanced in the direction of her gaze, then looked away.

He got it.

The old woman's eyes were full of calculation and greed.

He turned to Luo Youfu and asked, "Uncle Youfu, how long have they been here?"

Luo Youfu said, "We've been here for over an hour. As soon as we entered the village, we inquired around and found your parents, saying they wanted to reunite with you. Your parents... well, you know, this all happened so suddenly."

Luo Fei nodded.

He walked to his mother's side and said softly, "Mom, let's go inside and talk."

Li Xiulan raised her head and looked at her son.

Luo Fei's eyes were very gentle.

She took a deep breath and nodded.

Luo Fei helped his mother and turned to walk into the farmhouse, with Luo Weidong following behind.

The three people were stunned.

The bald man realized what was happening and took two steps after them, saying, "Hey, where are you going? I haven't finished talking yet!"

Luo Fei didn't even turn his head.

"Let's wait until my mom is ready to talk."

His voice wasn't loud.

The bald man's expression changed upon hearing this. He wanted to lash out, but looking at the surrounding villagers, he didn't dare to take another step forward.

The woman with the perm pouted and muttered under her breath, "What kind of attitude is that..."

The old lady continued to wipe away her tears, but her eyes flickered.

The surrounding crowd began to whisper among themselves.

Luo Youfu sighed and said to the three men, "You guys wait here. This can't be rushed."

The bald man's expression shifted between light and dark.

The woman with the perm leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Dad, look at this..."

The bald man gritted his teeth and lowered his voice: "Wait. We've come all this way, we can't let this trip be in vain."

The old lady paused in wiping away her tears, then glanced again in the direction of the new house.

A fleeting glint of greed crossed his eyes.
