Chapter 93 Anomaly

"Ah, but those are things for later. I'm just specifically telling you about how dragon blood can cause mutations."

Lu Mingfei held up a finger and twirled it, saying calmly.

I specifically told him that he might do that in the future. There's always a reason why someone suddenly brings up a topic; it can only be because of certain things.

"I will be more careful."

Chu Zihang nodded.

"But is it a blessing or a curse for you? I'm very curious about that."

Those golden eyes looked at him, but they didn't frighten him; instead, they were as calm as usual.

As expected, Lu Mingfei is special. According to his father, people with strong bloodlines have absolute power to suppress those with weak bloodlines.

No need for physical action, no need for visual observation, just the resonance of blood is enough to make a person kneel, and Lu Mingfei perfectly meets this standard, just as his father said.

A monarch whose mere presence is enough to make people kneel.

"Is he suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)? — But I have no right to call him chuunibyou." Lu Mingfei glanced at him.

"Would you like something to drink?"

Zero walked straight to the bar.

"Plain water, please."

"Zero, I want a Coke."

Let's move on to the next question.

Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, and Ling brought over drinks and placed them in front of the two of them at the right time; she herself was drinking Darjeeling.

"Power comes from blood, but the power of blood can cause mutations. So, do you need a second power?"

"A second one?"

"Do you know anything about the occult?"

"Is it something like Hermeticism? I've heard of it."

Hermeticism is the origin of all mysticism. Most existing mystical theories can be traced back to Hermeticism itself, which is like its progenitor.

But Chu Zihang knew this was simply because of the currently popular astrology related to constellations, and the Major Arcana mentioned on the Shilan campus forum. Since these were all things that sounded very trendy, he studied them and found that they were not fundamentally different from things like Feng Shui, Bagua, and the Five Elements; the underlying meanings were similar.

The only difference is the language and the way of describing them; in essence, they are all disciplines used to explain various phenomena before the birth of the modern scientific system.

"Interested?"

Lu Mingfei sipped her bubbly cola from that beautiful, delicate teacup.

"Not really interested."

Chu Zihang shook his head.

"I see."

"But if it borrows the name of mysticism for something else, then that's a different story."

He always felt that Lu Mingfei's words had hidden meanings, especially her habit of asking questions with the answer in mind.

If a question is asked very bluntly, there's definitely something wrong with it.

Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, her hand holding the teacup still.

"You're such an interesting person."

Yes, it's not mysticism, but magic created using its shell.

The method of manipulating phenomena through concepts and knowledge can also be called a kind of science. You should know that dragon's blood can also bring power.

"Word magic".

"Hmm~ Do you want to learn?"

"I have no idea."

Chu Zihang has always been a straightforward person who speaks his mind directly.

"Don't you know?"

"I don't know. In the end, apart from the memory of that typhoon day, I have nothing about what the so-called real world is really like."

He doesn't understand the real world; he just wants his own little world and hopes that his parents can live happily and peacefully.

"I see, is that so?"

She couldn't quite understand this feeling. Unlike Chu Zihang, she understood everything the moment she ascended the throne, scanning and observing all her past records from a bird's-eye view, which meant she knew everything about herself and the origins of her past.

"Yes."

"It is said that a person's growth is influenced by multiple factors such as society, environment, and experience, and now it seems that this is indeed the case."

His world is small, only big enough to hold the people he cares about, his parents, and the people who are important to him, nothing more.

"I won't force you to do anything. That's settled then."

Lu Mingfei pulled out a book and tossed it to Chu Zihang.

"This is?"

The craftsmanship is very rough; it was probably bound by hand.

"This is a gift for you. You can also read it as supplementary reading material."

Understanding Mysticism Through One Book

The title text is probably handwritten, not aligned, and not as stiff as if it were machine-printed; it's written very elegantly.

"Thanks."

"Do you need my help to arrange a meeting with Chu Tianjiao? He's working for me now."

Ultimately, Lu Mingfei couldn't bear to see such a scene. Although Chu Tianjiao was a coward, his love for Chu Zihang was not a lie.

"No need, thank you."

It has nothing to do with whether or not Lu Mingfei works. If a man can't even face his own son alone, what kind of man is he?

"It's getting dark, do you need me to take you home?"

"No need, I'll have someone come pick me up."

"Then I won't see you off. See you again sometime."

"goodbye."

Lu Mingfei and Ling watched Chu Zihang leave.

"They refused."

Ling casually picked up a cushion and sat on the sofa, looking at Lu Mingfei with her beautiful eyes.

"His biological father had a great influence on him, and was the reason he used to pursue power and truth. Without that reason, his actions would have changed, and he would probably have remained stagnant until he found another reason."

"In the past? He's only a freshman now." Zero's eyes flickered.

"Ah, that's one possibility for him."

Lu Mingfei then realized that Ling didn't know any of this.

"So, it means predicting the future?"

"Yes, it's a projection of the future based on existing intelligence."

She viewed it as one of countless contingency plans, because unlike that world, everything in this world was constantly being influenced by her, and she hoped to change something in her own way, with her own hands. Therefore, the future was no longer something that could be completely confirmed, not the truth, but only a possibility.

"That's impressive," Zero said.

But Lu Mingfei just shook her head, "It's the same principle as Su Enxi's Evolution, only the power is different."

"Quantitative change leads to qualitative change, Mingfei. The difference is so great that they can no longer be considered the same thing."

"What you said isn't wrong, but—"

Just as Lu Mingfei was about to offer further explanation, an unknown phone call came in. Lu Mingfei calmly picked up her phone and answered the call.

"Hey, sister, it's been a long time!"

"Is a day a long time? And why bother making a phone call? Couldn't you just show up next to me?"

"Because it feels better this way, doesn't it? For me, even if I can't see my sister for just a second, it feels like forever."

""

"What you said makes some sense. Oh, and let's not talk about such mushy things. Let's get down to business."
