Alas, I also want to stay here to eat and watch the show.
Lu Yan sighed inwardly. A voice called out from the side. A beautiful and well-maintained lady waved over here: "Xisheng, A Chuang, quickly bring your boyfriend or girlfriend over here!"
Helplessness flashed in Li Chuang and Li Xisheng's eyes, but Lu Yan and the other girl didn't mind and came to their mother with a smile.
"Hello Auntie."
"Hello, Lu Yan, thank you for taking care of Xisheng."
Lu Yan raised his wine glass and toasted his mother-in-law. She smiled and nodded, with no arrogance or disdain in her eyes. She looked at Lu Yan and Li Chuang's girlfriend with admiration.
One of them defeated Wang Baitao, and the other was from the Card Master Academy and ranked within the top 100. Both of them can be considered geniuses.
After meeting his mother-in-law, Lu Yan turned around and was called over by his father-in-law. The serious leader of the Li family looked at Lu Yan. He remained calm and did not show any fear in the face of the momentum.
It was the head of the family, Li Wo, who coughed to calm everyone down. He smiled and talked to Li Chuang and his girlfriend. After seeing them off, he turned to look at Lu Yan:
"Lu Yan, I have met you once before. Do you remember?"
Lu Yan bowed and said with a smile: "Old Master, at that time I was just an abandoned descendant of the family. I don't remember much, and I don't even have the qualifications to look you in the eye."
"Ha, that's right. I didn't expect that you are the only one left in such a big Lu family."
Li Wo shook his head and laughed. He was not lying. When he was invited to attend a celebration of the Lu family, he habitually scanned the whole place and noticed Lu Yan in the corner. At that time, he didn't care about him.
It was not until Lu Yan and Jiang Jiu established a relationship that the head of the Li family remembered Lu Yan's existence.
He looked between his granddaughter and Lu Yan, and asked with a smile: "Good, good, a talented man and a beautiful woman, Chengzong, what do you think?"
Li Xisheng's father also kept smiling, unlike the serious and indifferent young lady said. He probably also saw Lu Yan's talent:
"I think so too, my son-in-law, you must treat my daughter well."
"certainly……"
Lu Yan nodded in agreement, confirming that the Li family had a high degree of favorability towards him. Thinking of Jiang Jiu's words, he couldn't help but shake his head.
He could dominate Hujiang City, but the most troublesome thing was the dinner party held by Jiang Jiu.
166
Chapter 166 Interruption.
The trip to the Li family was calmer than Lu Yan had imagined. After the banquet, he escorted Li Xisheng back to the villa. The girl did not live in the Li family manor, but moved out and bought a house on her own.
“It’s so empty.”
"well enough."
There were no decorations on the white walls. The overall decoration structure and furniture arrangement must have been completed by specialized personnel. It was very ordinary, and just like Li Xisheng's facial expression, it was a bit deserted.
Instead of letting Lu Yan sit in the living room, she took her boyfriend to the bedroom. As a private place for a person, the bedroom can reveal the character and emotions of the eldest lady.
The large bed, which occupies nearly half of the room, is clean and tidy, and people can lie on it and roll around. The sofa opposite the bed is used to stack clothes, and an LCD TV is hung above the sofa.
The game console and virtual game helmet were placed on the side of the bed, and there were untaken clothes on the ground. The small bookshelf was full of electronic panels connected to various libraries, so books could be searched and read at any time.
"Would you like a drink? We have black tea and green tea."
Li Xisheng, the host, asked. Lu Yan just asked for a glass of water, took off his black suit, leaving only his white shirt, and pulled his tie to loosen it.
Sitting on the bed, the fragrance of flowers wafted from the air freshener on the bookshelf. When Li Xisheng brought the water over, she had already removed her makeup and changed out of her dress, putting on her loose pajamas. She sat next to Lu Yan without saying a word, their arms touching.
"Would you like to stay here today? We have guest rooms."
Li Xisheng asked after a long silence. Lu Yan was about to agree when the phone rang, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere. He glanced at the name and immediately picked up the phone:
"Sister, what's wrong?"
[The plan has changed. We'll leave today to help you get accustomed to Yandu. Come back quickly.]
Jiang Jiu's tone was a little anxious. Lu Yan agreed and hung up the phone. He shook his head and sighed, feeling a little sorry: "I'm sorry, Sister Jiang asked me to go to Yandu, so I can't accompany you."
"It's okay, there's plenty of time later."
The girl shook her long black hair, thought of something, took out her cell phone to check the memo, which contained some seduction methods taught to her by her roommate at the Card Master Academy.
Raising her hand to touch her cheek, she opened her arms towards Lu Yan who had already stood up, and said with a blushing smile: "How about a... kiss goodbye before leaving?"
"Xisheng, who did you learn this from?"
Awsl.
It has to be said that once a beauty with a cold face smiles charmingly, the contrast will definitely make people's hearts beat faster. The heart-beating Lu Yan leaned over, hugged Li Xisheng, lowered his head and kissed her, and stretched out his tongue to entwine theirs.
The connection was still there, and Lu Yan let go of Li Xisheng, who was having difficulty breathing. The thin girl lay on the bed gasping for breath, her chest heaving, but unfortunately it was still too stable, only slightly bigger than Jiang Jiu.
He took out his cell phone and took a picture of her to save the beautiful scene. Lu Yan picked up his suit, waved goodbye and left the bedroom, leaving the girl alone who was still savoring the moment.
Back at the card shop, Jiang Jiu, who had already closed the shop, waited for him to get out of the taxi, then immediately grabbed his hand and jumped into the air, leaping over an eight-story residential building and throwing out the summoning card.
A sharp cry sounded, and a giant black crow with flaming feathers dragged the two people. The pink-haired girl raised her hand and pressed the crow's neck:
"Yan Ya, go to Yandu."
The giant crow flapped its wings and flew towards the designated location. This was Lu Yan's first time to be a flight attendant in this world. He snapped his fingers lightly to deploy a protective shield to reduce the strong wind blowing on his face, and looked down.
"This is your first time flying to another city. Why don't you take the high-speed rail? And why are you in such a hurry? Isn't the Jiang family banquet still a few days away?"
The two of them were getting farther and farther away from the ground, and the entire Hujiang City came into view. The air became thinner and thinner, but it was nothing to Lu Yan at the moment.
"I'll take you there first to acclimate you. Yandu, as the capital of the Pulse Dragon Kingdom, is different from other places. There are rules about which places you can go to and which places you can't even get close to."
"It would be terrible if you were led into a dangerous area by someone who is hostile to you or me."
"Isn't it okay for me to stay at Jiang's house and not go out?"
Lu Yan seemed quite open-minded, his pink hair ruffling in the breeze. Jiang Jiu couldn't help but roll her eyes at him:
"I don't think you're the type to stay in one place. You must go to Kayu. You must want to try the delicious food in Yandu."
Without answering, Lu Yan moved closer to the store manager to prevent any accidents. Yu Gaokong took out his mobile phone to review Yandu's information again, looking around from time to time.
The Flame Crow had already broken through the clouds, and the bright moonlight shone upon the two of them. Silence fell upon them. Seeing Lu Yan reviewing the materials, Jiang Jiu said only one last sentence:
"To maintain confidentiality, much of the information online about Yandu is false. Just be selective."
"I see. So someone really did provoke me at the banquet. I didn't encounter any problems at the Li family dinner."
Lu Yan thought of what Jiang Jiu had said before about "causing trouble". It turned out that he was just transferring the possible situation that might happen at the Jiang family's banquet to the Li family so that he could be mentally prepared.
"Nonsense, the Princess of the Jiang family found a pretty boy who is younger than her and a country boy. Guess what, in the eyes of the big families in Hujiang City, you are very powerful, and those annoying guys must look down on you."
The pink-haired girl was quite irritable today. She rubbed her hair with her hand and leaned back in Lu Yan's arms. His muscles subconsciously tensed up because of her proximity to him, and she felt a little embarrassed.
"Relax, eh."
Looking up at Lu Yan, Jiang Jiu closed his eyes and said, "If someone challenges you, you can accept or reject the challenge according to the situation. If you can't win, just surrender. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
"Don't worry, I'm invincible among my peers. I don't believe they can do anything to me. Isn't every young genius in the capital equipped with a gold-level card?"
Lu Yan raised his thumb and pointed at himself, making the signature move of the Super Saiyan O Prince, but he still asked for the sake of caution.
"Not that strong,"
Jiang Jiu shook his head. "Only a few people have gold-level cards. You've also seen Xiong Yue's students in Tianwei City. They all only have silver cards. Only one of his students has a gold-level summoning card."
"The gold-level summon cards that drop from the card domain are different from the evolved summons. They require a lot of equipment, but pay attention to the skill cards and item cards. Those don't have too many requirements."
Speaking of this, Jiang Jiu glanced at the golden card that Lu Yan took out: "Speaking of which, what are the equipment requirements for your maid?"
"[Card Master Lü Yan Exclusive] Oh, when the favorability reaches 100, the evolved cards will have similar effects."
There was no need for him to hide his equipment requirements. Jiang Jiu felt the boy's body temperature, his earlobes slightly reddened, and pretended to be indifferent: "I don't know, anyway, my card doesn't have this effect."
167
Chapter 167 Yan City.
"This guy is very insidious, a combat card master. Publicly he's called the 'Hypothetical Assassin', but behind his back everyone calls him the 'Hypothetical Dog'..."
"And this one. Don't be fooled by his sunny face, he's incredibly ruthless when he gets into a fight. It's said that he fought a life-and-death duel with someone at the Card Master Academy and cut him into several pieces. Because of his speed and spatial abilities, he's nicknamed [Golden Flash] and the [Flash Dog]..."
"This guy, all his summons are very weak, like little white rabbits and delicate maids. But he has a key card called [Ultimate Sublimation]. After summoning enough cards, he can use them as sacrifices to summon even more powerful cards. He once summoned a large mecha..."
During the flight to Yandu, Jiang Jiu introduced the situation there to Lu Yan and let him know his potential enemies.
"Among these geniuses, there are more battle card players than summoning card players."
Lu Yan seemed to be thinking about something. Most of the people Jiang Jiu introduced were combat card masters, and even if they had summons, they were only used as auxiliary.
The pink-haired girl leaning on his arms nodded:
"After all, gold-level summons are hard to come by, and they require a lot of equipment. Since they come from wealthy families, it's natural for them to buy battle cards to strengthen themselves."
"I'm also this type. Generally speaking, the path for Yandu geniuses is to be a 1-2 star summoner, and then start to change jobs at 3-4 stars. If nothing unexpected happens, I will become a combat card master later."
"As for the unexpected, the card master's talent, a card that activated a teleport to another world, and obtaining an extremely powerful skill card that enhanced summons, these were all unexpected."
"In general, among this group of geniuses, 6% are battle card masters and 4% are summoning card masters."
Anyway, the card master's job change is very flexible, and the cards are plug-and-play like a certain ninja's red eyes. Sometimes when you get a powerful card, you can form a deck around it.
Many geniuses are like Lu Yan. They have one deck of cards on the surface, but another one behind the scenes, which is specifically used to kill people and set fires.
"Wow!!"
The approaching malicious cry interrupted their conversation. Jiang Jiu stood up from the boy's arms. Lu Yan turned his head and looked behind him. A griffin was flying towards the Flame Crow, its wings glowing, ready to attack.
The two entered the overlapping area, and this monster was a monster in the overlapping area.
Before it could make a move, Jiang Jiu raised his finger and a concentrated beam of light shot out. The red light instantly pierced the griffin's head. The corpse fell to the ground and turned into a spot of light. The card fell to the ground and gradually dissipated into energy without anyone picking it up.
Not only the griffins, but other monsters also sensed the presence of outsiders and attacked the Flame Crow. Jiang Jiu waved his hand to signal Lu Yan not to move, and reached out to stroke his long hair.
The ends of his long hair were dyed red, and the store manager released a shocking aura, causing the animals flying in the air to stop and fall to the ground.
"Anyway, you should get some good sleep first. We still have a lot of things to do when we get to Yan City."
Lu Yan did not refuse. He lay on the giant crow's back and closed his eyes. Having the energy shield didn't mean he couldn't sleep.
Looking at the boy lying down, Jiang Jiu thought for a moment, moved his butt to his side, tilted his head back and used his chest as a pillow.
It was almost noon. Lu Yan, who had slept until he woke naturally, opened his eyes and sensed a strong energy emanating from afar. Jiang Jiu poked his head out from the side and asked, "Are you awake?"
"Sister, where are we?"
"Look, ahead is Yan City, the capital of Mailong Nation."
Standing up and looking into the distance, the flight altitude had dropped below the clouds, and an extremely large city appeared in front of them. Several buildings even reached the height where they were, at least 8000 meters high.
"Those buildings and pillars..."
"Card collection room, giant library, Security Bureau headquarters..."
Jiang Jiu pointed out the purpose of the building. There were many flying vehicles flying past the giant crow and lined up in long queues at certain locations in the front.
Lu Yan narrowed his eyes and found that a layer of energy shield covered the entire Yandu. The authorities had set up checkpoints in the air, and all flying vehicles had to pass through the checkpoints before entering Yandu.
Airships, helicopters, flying creatures, air skateboards...
There are many kinds of vehicles. Lu Yan felt that he should also find a vehicle or something. In case of an air battle, he couldn't sit on Lamia's back.
When they arrived at the security gate, the light swept over Jiang Jiu and Lu Yan. After confirming that everything was correct, the barrier was opened to let the two in.
After truly entering Yandu, the originally blurry scene outside became clearer, and the scene before him made the countryman Lu Yan gasp for air.
There are not only buildings on the ground, there are actually suspended houses and even suspended islands in the sky of Yan City, which makes people worry about whether they will fall down.
"The Hanging Island has fallen down before, and some people protested and called for the demolition of Yandu's floating buildings, but in the end, nothing came of it. After all, the speed of simply expanding on the ground cannot keep up with the speed at which card masters from other cities came to Yandu to settle down."
Jiang Jiu saw Lu Yan's surprise, and when he heard the reason, he couldn't help but frowned: "No one was driven out of Yandu?"
"Yes, the problem is that all the people who come to Yandu are [geniuses]. If you've read fantasy novels, you can think of Yandu as a 'martial arts holy land' or a 'transportation hub'. Just look at those blue rings."
Following the finger of the petite store manager, blue vortices appeared in every important corner of the street. People often went in, but no one came out.
"A one-way space portal can transport people to other cities, but people from other cities can't get in. It used to be a two-way portal, but for some reason, it was changed to a one-way one. Our city also has one."
"Oh, by the way, hurry up and put on your clothes. You might meet other people on the way."
Lu Yan put on his suit and buttoned it up. The giant crow swooped down into the city and turned into silver light and dissipated when it was about to land. He had not learned the slow descent technique and was slowly brought to the ground by Jiang Jiu.
Looking from afar, there is a royal palace in the center of Yandu, with magnificent temples and pedestrians coming and going. The most important thing is that there is an inexplicable atmosphere and grandeur that makes Lu Yan's soul tremble.
