Dragon Tribe: Still Thinking Until Now

"Chu Zihang asked me to take you with me, but you were gone when the car drove out." Chu Tianjiao said.

Lu Mingfei pondered the questions in his mind, but he couldn't open his mouth. After a moment, Chu Tianjiao sighed, "I've read the logs on the Night Watcher Forum and the Hunter website. You've done a lot of big things over the years. Now you're wanted by the academy. It's said that you're hanging out with the Dragon King... To be honest, I watched you grow up. Although you're bad sometimes, you don't have any malicious intentions. The wanted order issued by the school board says that you colluded with the Dragon King to seriously injure Ange, and that you transported nuclear waste from Moscow to sell to al-Qaeda for terrorist attacks and raped young girls in Shinjuku, Tokyo. I don't believe these things."

Lu Mingfei remained silent, his eyes twitching slightly.

After a moment, he said, "Are the people in the executive department crazy? Raping a young girl is not something I would do."

Lord Wa nodded in agreement.

"Raping the queen is more like it." Lu Mingfei said.

Chu Tianjiao was silent for a moment, as if trying to convince himself to accept the cunning and shamelessness of the guy in front of him.

"I know you and my son have a good relationship. You two should be considered comrades-in-arms fighting side by side in the academy." Chu Tianjiao said after a few seconds, "I was able to break free from Odin's control thanks to you."

He stretched out his hand, and Lu Mingfei also stretched out his hand. The two men shook hands above the small table, and then separated.

"It's a pity that he didn't leave the authority extracted from the dragon bone cross on the mask. Only some traces of the alchemical matrix remain on it." Lu Mingfei felt a little regretful.

"There's nothing to regret. Do you think the power inherited from the Black King Nidhogg is so easy to take away?" Chu Tianjiao shook his head. "Destroying the mask means destroying the balance between the Dragon Bone Cross and the outside world. Even with Odin's methods, it may take a long time to restore this balance."

"Then uncle, can you still show that kind of power? The power of a king." Lu Mingfei asked.

“No.” Chu Tianjiao looked down at his hands and frowned, “I’ve tried. After losing the mask, I’m just an ordinary half-blood.”

“So the super executives who can rank among the top three in the executive department are just ordinary half-bloods?” Lord Wa folded her arms and looked at Chu Tianjiao coldly.

Chu Tianjiao smiled and said, "To be exact, he ranks second. The first one is Hilbert Jean Angers."

"I actually have something I want to ask uncle." Lu Mingfei said, "About the reason why you settled in this city, and the task the principal gave you regarding me."

Chu Tianjiao was stunned for a moment and smoked fiercely, but he did not refuse.

"There is one more thing. I met Aunt Su after I came back this time." Lu Mingfei paused and opened a can of beer for himself. "I think she still misses you very much."

"Has she been doing well these years?" the smoking man whispered. The TV was still playing some old western movies, but the room seemed to be suddenly flooded with sadness.

"It's OK. You know, Senior Brother is actually a gossip. He can take good care of his mother."

"Senior brother?"

"It's Chu Zihang. I call him Senior Brother." Lu Mingfei said, "After divorcing you, she married the entrepreneur named Lu Tianming. Uncle, you should remember him. They haven't had any children in these years. Uncle Lu even planned to leave his property to Senior Brother."

"Of course they won't have children..." Chu Tianjiao said lightly. Lu Mingfei's pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly had some deeper doubts about Su Xiaoyan's marriage to Lu Tianming.

"But there are some things I do need to tell you." Chu Tianjiao nodded and straightened his collar. "I have to go to Tokyo in a while. I need to see Angers' current situation with my own eyes before I can decide what to do next."

"Aren't you worried about falling into Odin's hands again?" Lord Wa yawned.

"The mask used to control me has been destroyed. Hidden within it is the authority of the King of Sky and Wind. If Odin wants to continue to control me and wants this puppet to unleash the power of the true King of Wind, he must restore that balance."

Chu Tianjiao said, he took a sip of vodka, picked up a grilled chicken wing, took a sip of wine and ate a piece of chicken wing, and continued to speak after a while.

"This story started a long time ago... I went to high school in the north. My wife and I actually went to the same school."

At that time, Su Xiaoyan was probably the most famous girl in the school, because she was the only girl in the school who rode a motorcycle to and from school. At that time, she was in the third grade of junior high school, while Chu Tianjiao was in the second grade of high school and had not yet awakened his bloodline and words.

Maybe because Su Xiaoyan's father is a policeman, she is not afraid of being caught on the road. Su Xiaoyan is still a little girl and rides a bike very fast. She is the first one to rush out of the teaching building after class every afternoon. Chu Tianjiao can hear the sound of motorcycles rushing through the street without leaving the classroom. Lu Mingfei thought to himself that he could not believe that Aunt Su, such a quiet woman, was actually a little gangster when she was young.

Chu Tianjiao also said that he later learned that Su Xiaoyan was the first one to come home after school every day to cook. During that period, her grandmother's house in the countryside was flooded, so she returned to the city to live. She also brought a bunch of country eggs, a big leg of cured meat, and two buckets of walnut oil. Su Xiaoyan said that walnut oil is very fragrant when cooking.

Everyone who knows Su Xiaoyan thinks she is very cool. She even has more male friends than female friends.

At that time, there was a girl named Qiao Weini in Chu Tianjiao's class.

Lu Mingfei's heart moved slightly, and he looked up at Chu Tianjiao's eyes, only to see a misty gray area and nothing else, like an autumn lake.

Chu Tianjiao didn't look into Lu Mingfei's eyes, but just talked to himself, saying that Qiao Weini was the most popular girl in the school at that time, beautiful and cool. One day after class, Chu Tianjiao ran directly to the parking shed, and then rode his bicycle to a street where there were restaurants outside the school.

Chu Tianjiao said that so many years have passed, but I can still remember that I was considering whether to eat beef soup with crispy sesame cakes or knife-cut noodles with pickled garlic, and then I fell to the ground with a bang. I don’t know how the Urban Renewal Authority planned it, and they had to install some short pillars on the sidewalk.

Chu Tianjiao's left big toe was fractured. He even stood up and chopped his foot a few times. Then he walked for a while. When he was about ten steps away from the beef soup, he realized that it was in terrible pain.

Qiao Weini happened to pass by and saw it, so she asked her classmates to help carry him to the hospital. After walking for a while, they suddenly heard the sound of a motorcycle behind them. They turned around and saw that the little girl from the lower grade had stopped in front of them.

Lu Mingfei guessed it, it was indeed Su Xiaoyan.

Chu Tianjiao said that it was not just Su Xiaoyan, there was also a foreigner who said his name was Hilbert Jean Ange. He was sitting in the back seat of Su Xiaoyan's car, grinning like an old pervert.

The old pervert said to Chu Tianjiao, "You are very talented. Are you willing to study abroad with me?" Chu Tianjiao thought about it and said, "You have to tell my mother. I will listen to my mother."

Chapter 523 Little Gangster and Royal Sister

"I thought you and the principal knew each other earlier, or in other words, you came into contact with the mixed-blood world much earlier than the time you are describing now." Lu Mingfei gently stroked the cold and smooth surface of the can of beer with his fingertips. He temporarily broke free from the shock of hearing the name Qiao Weini, and examined the slightest changes in the expression of the man in front of him with a seemingly casual look.

Lu Mingfei had known for a long time that there might be some connection between Chu Tianjiao and his mother. Perhaps they were close friends in college, or perhaps they had a friendship that stood by each other when they were interning in the executive department. But he had never thought that they had known each other when they were still young, and even listened to the same teacher in the same classroom for three whole years.

Chu Tianjiao didn't say anything. He found a small gas stove behind him and poured several cans of beer into it to heat them up.

The atmosphere in the room became a little strange. Wazhu looked around boredly. Lu Mingfei patted the back of her hand and said, "Sister, why don't you go out for a walk first? I'll be out soon."

"Then I'll stay in this yard. After we're done, I'll take you outside to eat mutton hotpot." Wazhu smiled with narrowed eyes, and when she turned her head to look at Chu Tianjiao, her expression immediately turned cold. She rolled her eyes and turned away.

I don’t know why, but this little ancestor seems to be prejudiced against Chu Tianjiao.

After she left, Lu Mingfei and Chu Tianjiao sat opposite each other, both staring at the plate of double spicy grilled chicken wings in the middle of the small table, as if that thing was actually the imperial seal that had been lost for many years and was found.

"Do you know the orthodoxy?" Chu Tianjiao asked softly.

"I don't know much about it. It is said to be a mixed-blood association in China." Western mixed-bloods and Chinese mixed-bloods are like two completely different races. The information of Kassel Academy rarely mentions the complicated families in this country, and the occasional record is just a passing mention.

"That's right and that's not right. Do you think orthodoxy is the same as China's secret party?"

"Isn't it? A group of the most powerful mixed-blood families hold the core of power, and then use a pyramid structure to divide the rest of the power downward layer by layer, and finally form a huge whole." Lu Mingfei felt that organizations that exist in the form of secret parties should be more common in mixed-blood society.

"Of course not. You can think of orthodoxy as a collection of people, but they are not a strict organization, let alone discipline and organization." Chu Tianjiao dipped a huge glass into the pot and scooped a full glass of beer. He raised the glass and drank it all. Maybe it was because it was too hot or because of the alcohol, but a not-so-healthy blush appeared on his cheeks. "Orthodoxy originally referred to the local hybrids that were not contaminated by foreign genes. Later, the genes of all families were contaminated, so it generally referred to the five major families and the side branches of the five major families."

The so-called five major families should be those families who finally obtained the Dragon Bone Cross of Vidoflnir in the past two thousand years.

"The land of this country is so vast, and the rivers, lakes and seas are full of Nibelungs left by dragons in ancient times. Ordinary people have no way to enter them. Some ancient people went in and out, recorded their locations, and eventually turned these Nibelungs into their own territories." Chu Tianjiao shrugged. "Most of the aristocratic families chose to join forces with the orthodox, and eventually built Xirang into the political center of the dark society of this country, but there are still some families that have not joined this system. The Chu family I belong to is such a family."

"A powerful mixed-blood family that is about to rise will inevitably leave its own traces in history, but the surname Chu... isn't that prominent, right?" Lu Mingfei narrowed his eyes.

"The family tree says that our surname used to be Mi," said Chu Tianjiao.

Lu Mingfei understood.

"In fact, I didn't show any extraordinary talent until I was 18." Chu Tianjiao hesitated, "Except that I look better than others."

"Uncle, you and Chu Zihang are completely different."

"How to say?"

"He is not as shameless as you." Lu Mingfei said seriously.

"In short, before I awakened my bloodline and word spirit, my family didn't have a deep connection with our clan. It wasn't until I entered Kassel College and was rated as A-level bloodline in the 3E exam that the Chu family made a big fuss and asked our family to return to our roots." Chu Tianjiao ate chicken wings and drank. "It was actually just an accident that I was discovered by Angers. The real reason he came to our school was Qiao Weini."

Lu Mingfei's fingers holding the beer can trembled slightly, and his fingertips tapped on the side of the can, leaving a sharp dent in the metal cover like a bullet hitting a steel plate.

He quickly used drinking to cover up his gaffe.

"I know Qiao Weini is your mother, don't pretend in front of me." Chu Tianjiao said lightly.

"I'm not pretending. I just think I'm not interested in hearing gossip about your generation, uncle."

"What gossip? Do you think I've pursued your mother before?"

"No, no, I think you are much more coquettish than my dad. Girls all like coquettish guys like you. How can a dull guy like him compete with you?" Lu Mingfei smiled teasingly.

But Chu Tianjiao fell silent.

Lu Mingfei's eyes twitched, "You wouldn't..."

"Honestly speaking, when you were in high school, your mom was the most popular girl in school. Which young man wouldn't have had that in his mind?"

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, Old Chu, you are no longer a young boy in love, you are now a weird uncle in love, okay?

"But all this has nothing to do with what I want to say. What I want to tell you is that the surveillance of you actually started from that day." Chu Tianjiao said faintly, "The day I broke my left big toe."

Lu Mingfei trembled violently.

"Uncle, are you kidding? At that time, I was not even a fertilized egg." He laughed dryly, but a chill pierced into his spine like a needle, and spread along the nerve center to every part of his body.

Chu Tianjiao frowned and smoked the cigar fiercely, his hair hanging down, as if he was angry with the small stove on the table.

"I was assigned a task on the first day I entered the academy. The task required me to ensure your mother's safety. Your father and I received the same task," he said.

"But you can't say that this is to monitor me. Maybe it's because my mother has a special background or something?" Lu Mingfei said cautiously.

"There are clauses." Chu Tianjiao shook his head. "We signed the document. When faced with special circumstances where we have to give up a certain tissue system in Qiao Weini in order for her to survive, the priority of the complete reproductive system is even higher than the language system and the motor system."

Lu Mingfei covered his face with his hands, trembling slightly. Chu Tianjiao just looked at the child who seemed to have everything under control just now but suddenly became fragile.

"Your birth and the things you are about to do may all be in someone's script." Chu Tianjiao said softly, "Before you become the guy I saw in the Night Watch forum log, one of my tasks is to ensure your personal safety. Apart from this, Angers did not tell me more information. This is all I have to say. It is up to you whether you believe it or not."

Script. Lu Mingfei really hated the word script.

After a moment, he slowly put down his hands. To Chu Tianjiao's surprise, his face looked calm.

"So you've always known this, right, Uncle Chu? You and my parents, you've known from the beginning to the end that I was born a weapon. From the day I was born, I was a monster raised by Ange, like raising a Gu, raising a monster to eat other monsters." Lu Mingfei said softly.

"I think your father knows. He has always wanted to take you away." Chu Tianjiao also said softly, "But Qiao Weini doesn't know. She is a qualified mother."

Somehow, Lu Mingfei felt that his originally empty chest suddenly became a little fuller, just a little bit full enough to prevent him from falling into despair.

"Weini hoped that I could take care of you. After they left, she begged me not to bring you into our world." Chu Tianjiao said, "But Angers gave me a more important task. I can only ensure that you will not be harmed... In fact, you had not shown any talent before I was controlled by Odin. You are not like Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini at all. I think it should be Angers who really noticed your talent. He doesn't care even if he was not the one who wrote the script."

"The principal doesn't care about anyone. He is just a fire of revenge that has burned himself in this world. Everyone is a weapon to him, even himself." Everyone in this world can be truly seen through, but it is too easy to see through Angers. The underlying logic of his actions is revenge, revenge on Friedrich von Long, revenge on the dragon clan, revenge on those who planned the Summer Mourning incident.

"So you don't know what I am, right?" Lu Mingfei asked softly.

"From your experience, there are many things that a mixed-blood cannot do." Chu Tianjiao did not deny Lu Mingfei's guess, "But in fact, you are indeed the child of Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini, and they are innocent humans."

"I understand." Lu Mingfei nodded.

Sure enough, he couldn't get any more breakthroughs from Chu Tianjiao. The only gain was that he learned that even his birth was a conspiracy.

"About two weeks ago, we went to the bankruptcy liquidation office of Universal Group and met your former colleagues. They said that before you were controlled by Odin, you always drove the Maybach with an aluminum alloy box. Later, there was a period of time when you had two boxes." Lu Mingfei decided to find out other things that have not been revealed. "It is certain that part or all of the Black King's blood was given to you, Uncle Chu, by the principal for safekeeping. It was placed in one box. What about the other box? What's in it?"

Chu Tianjiao was stunned and looked up at Lu Mingfei.

"I don't know." He said, and Lu Mingfei saw a slight change in expression on the man's face.

An ordinary person would have ignored this change, but he captured it keenly.

"Did you know that after being controlled by Odin, the Dragon King Li Wu Yue, who caused heavy casualties in Summer Mourning, briefly possessed his consciousness in your body?" he asked, frowning.
