Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

Lu Mingfei's first reaction was that there was a traitor in the Spirit Hall, but Tang Chen had just gone to the Spirit Hall to beg for peace, so it was unlikely that he would do something that would lower his status.

Then he realized that his position had been exposed and that Tang Chen was coming for him, but Tang Chen couldn't possibly not know how fast he was.

Unable to figure it out, Lu Mingfei simply gave up and ran home immediately. Qian Renxue was no match for Tang Chen now.

She had just been promoted to Title Douluo and her divine power aura could not be completely concealed. To Tang Chen, a demigod, it was like a spotlight. If Tang Chen were to harbor murderous intent, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In his mind, nothing the Tang family would do was surprising.

Outside Hanhai City, two simple carriages slowly came to a stop in the woods not far from the city gate.

"Ancestor, why did we stop here?" the young man driving the carriage asked in confusion. They had been traveling day and night for the past few days, and had changed horses three times. They were about to enter the city, so why had their ancestor stopped?

"I have to go out for a bit. You guys wait for me here." Tang Chen stepped down from the carriage and disappeared into the carriage in an instant.

He had subconsciously used his mental power to sense the situation in the city, and unexpectedly, he actually sensed a powerful and familiar aura of soul power.

He had fought with Qian Daoliu for so many years, and he was very familiar with the aura of the Angelic Martial Soul and the Angelic Divine Power.

Although this aura was not as powerful as Qian Daoliu's, it was clearly purer and more solid. There was no doubt that it could only be the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall who had passed the Angel God's test, whom he had just met in Spirit City a few days ago.

But how did she end up here? There's no trace of Qian Daoliu at all. How could he leave his precious little one here alone?

The key question is, why does he vaguely sense a dangerous aura in this city? Even in Wuhun City last time, no one gave him this feeling.

Realizing that there was definitely more to it than met the eye, Tang Chen prepared to go and find out the truth. However, he never expected to meet that unexpected person here.

"Lu Mingfei? What are you doing here?"

Following his soul power perception, Tang Chen landed directly in a small courtyard. He never expected that what awaited him here was not Qian Daoliu, nor the ambush army of the Spirit Hall, but Lu Mingfei, with whom he had just fought a great battle not long ago.

Moreover, Qian Daoliu's precious granddaughter was standing behind Lu Mingfei, clearly indicating that the two had a close relationship.

"That's what I should be asking you. This is my home. What do you want?" Lu Mingfei asked casually, but in reality, he was secretly on high alert.

He was actually quite unsure of himself. With Tang Chen's strength, Qian Renxue had no right to interfere in the battle. So as soon as he got home, he immediately made a deal with Qian Renxue: if Tang Chen had any ill intentions, he would hold him off while Qian Renxue would run away. Once Qian Renxue was far away, he would be able to escape unscathed.

"Senior Tang Chen, we meet again. May I ask what brings you here today?" Qian Renxue greeted Lu Mingfei as well, standing beside him. She never expected that Tang Chen would be able to find this place.

She had experienced Tang Chen's strength firsthand in Wuhun City, but she would never let Lu Mingfei face him alone.

"What are you doing here?" Tang Chen, being an experienced old man, could obviously see that Lu Mingfei was clearly trying to protect Qian Renxue. Moreover, Lu Mingfei had said that this was his home. What kind of relationship could Qian Renxue have if she lived in Lu Mingfei's home?

Looking at the young couple in front of him, who were ready for battle, and recalling the heartfelt words he had spoken to Qian Daoliu in Wuhun City a few days ago, he felt a surge of anger and blood.

He could imagine how Qian Daoliu must have secretly laughed at him back then.

He had warned the other party to be careful of Lu Mingfei, but that guy was making a fortune in silence and had already gotten his granddaughter to hook up with Lu Mingfei, who might already be his granddaughter's husband.

"Qian Daoliu, you despicable person!" Tang Chen cursed inwardly, but then couldn't help but sigh.

Look at the Spirit Hall, they were so decisive when they saw a promising talent that they even sacrificed their own Holy Maiden who had passed the Divine Trial. Then look at their Clear Sky Sect, it's hard to describe.

At this moment, he couldn't help but complain about his grandchildren. The three of them were so old, but only Tang Hao had a child, and it was a useless boy. If Tang San had been a girl, none of this mess would have happened today.

"That old fox Qian Daoliu is really willing to go all out," Tang Chen sighed. "He certainly didn't expect me to be here today."

"Kid, do you think you can protect her?" Tang Chen's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his demigod-level mental power instantly made the surrounding air as thick as a swamp.

Qian Renxue immediately felt a terrifying sense of oppression. The power of the Asura God was inherently able to suppress the power of all ordinary gods, and since Qian Renxue was only a titled deity, this suppression was even more pronounced.

But she immediately bit her tongue, forcing herself to stay conscious, determined not to become a burden to Lu Mingfei.

Without hesitation, Lu Mingfei instantly ignited his Golden Eyes. Amidst the dazzling light, he showed no fear, and his domineering and chilling dragon might surged forth.

Every inch of the courtyard was filled with these two overwhelming wills, but outside the courtyard, everything was calm and normal, which represented the absolute control of their own power.

However, if a curious passerby happens to catch a glimpse, they will surely notice the ripples of light and shadow scattered throughout the courtyard. This is because the spiritual power of both parties has almost materialized, even distorting the trajectory of the light.

It was only at this moment that Qian Renxue realized that Lu Mingfei and Tang Chen were far more powerful than she had imagined.

Just as she was about to unleash her Martial Soul True Body, the two distorted spiritual energies suddenly vanished like a tide.

Both Tang Chen and Lu Mingfei instantly withdrew all their power, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Ha, ha, ha, this is indeed interesting." Tang Chen laughed heartily a few times: "Kid, I knew I wasn't wrong, I really like your eyes."

"Let's talk. I've wanted to talk to you for a long time."

“Since it is an invitation from a senior, this junior will naturally comply.” Lu Mingfei patted Qian Renxue’s hand beside him to reassure her.

Tang Chen's outward display of mental energy just now was indeed without any malice, showing that he really wasn't here to make a move today.

Tang Chen shook his head as he watched Lu Mingfei and Qian Renxue's affectionate actions, and to show his sincerity, he took the lead and flew towards the distant sea. Seeing this, Lu Mingfei also summoned his wings and followed closely behind.

The two traveled dozens of kilometers away from the coastline before stopping on an inconspicuous group of reefs.

"I have fully understood the situation. It is our Haotian Sect that has wronged you, and I apologize to you here," Tang Chen said first.

Chapter 270 Brother Lu, you smell so good

Apologize?

Lu Mingfei never expected that Tang Chen had called him here to talk about this.

The other party wasn't like this when we were in the Star Dou Great Forest a while ago.

He still remembered how arrogant Tang Chen had been back then, his words implying he was ready to easily eliminate him to avenge his grandson and prevent future troubles. Now, his sudden apology gave him the feeling of a villain's persona suddenly collapsing.

"Please, get back to normal. I still prefer your previous arrogant self." Lu Mingfei was internally complaining, but his face remained calm. After confirming that there was no danger, he also wanted to see what Tang Chen was really up to.

Tang Chen, unaware of Lu Mingfei's inner thoughts, continued, "I've figured everything out. Tang San was jealous of your strength and harbored resentment because he suffered repeated setbacks. Hao'er's death was his own fault, and he has no one else to blame but himself."

Lu Mingfei was surprised that Tang Chen could actually say such human words. In his impression, the people of Haotian Sect, including the four single-attribute sects, were as incomprehensible as madmen.

Especially Tang San, he still can't understand why Tang San fought him to the death when they were at Notting Academy, even though he hadn't done anything.

"If I had been in the sect at the time, this situation would never have happened, so I apologize to you. I will not interfere in your feud with Tang San, nor can I care about it, but I want to ask you for mercy today." When Tang Chen said this, his domineering face showed a rare hint of pleading.

"But the others in the Haotian Sect are unaware of this matter; they are innocent. Therefore, I would like to ask that you show leniency and not implicate them."

As he spoke, Tang Chen summoned his Asura Demon Sword and plunged it into the ground: "This sword embodies the inheritance of the Asura God. If you can come out of the City of Slaughter and obtain the Killing God Domain, with your talent, inheriting the position of the Asura God should be a piece of cake."

Tang Chen's words were full of sincerity. He had already taken the inheritance of the Asura God out of the City of Slaughter. It could be said that this inheritance could be left in the Clear Sky Sect and passed down from generation to generation, just like the Angel inheritance of the Spirit Hall, until someone meets the requirements to become a god.

It wasn't that Tang Chen was being generous; it was just that if the descendants of the Haotian Sect lacked the ability, leaving this legacy with the Haotian Sect would be more of a curse than a blessing.

He had originally planned to return the sword to the City of Slaughter before he died, so it would be even better if he could sell Lu Mingfei a bargain.

Lu Mingfei didn't expect Tang Chen to actually reveal all his secrets at once. Is this how old people always speak their minds?

“Senior has already investigated my life story thoroughly, and must already know how I would answer, which is why I asked this question today.” Lu Mingfei nodded and said, “For your sake, I will pretend that I have never known the Haotian Sect.”

Lu Mingfei never intended to go on a killing spree, and Tang Chen was indeed ridiculously strong now. If they really fought, he definitely wouldn't be able to beat him. Besides, that stubborn girl Qian Renxue was probably waiting at home right now, so agreeing to Tang Chen's request was the best option at the moment.

Of course, if the Clear Sky Sect acts recklessly again in the future, he probably won't even need to lift a finger; the Spirit Hall would be even more eager to completely annihilate them.

"I'm relieved to hear your words. This is all I can do for this old man." Tang Chen sighed softly.

He wasn't saying this out of sentimentality, but rather to let Lu Mingfei know that he would no longer concern himself with Tang Xiao and Tang San's affairs, and that Lu Mingfei should handle it himself.

After speaking, Tang Chen raised his hand, gesturing for Lu Mingfei to go first. Lu Mingfei nodded, turned and left, quickly creating distance between them in an instant.

Although they seemed to be having a pleasant conversation, and Lu Mingfei did indeed sense Tang Chen's straightforwardness, he never let his guard down.

Turning against someone is the privilege of the strong.

Lu Mingfei has worked so hard to get to where he is today, and he definitely doesn't want to accidentally capsize in a ditch.

Watching Lu Mingfei disappear in the blink of an eye, Tang Chen shook his head repeatedly. No matter how many times he had seen it, this speed always amazed him.

"That Qian Daoliu guy really struck gold this time. It's a pity that Yuehua is a bit too old, otherwise..." Tang Chen sighed and put all those messy things out of his mind. He had already paved the way for the future of the Haotian Sect, and the rest was up to them.

In fact, after waking up, Tang Chen also realized that he had become somewhat indecisive.

Twenty years ago, he would most likely have fought Lu Mingfei to the death, but now he just wants to go to Poseidon Island and reunite with Poseidon immediately.

Lu Mingfei returned to his courtyard, but neither he nor Qian Renxue let their guard down.

Tang Chen was well aware of his intimidating power. Since returning from the sea, he had been releasing his aura to reassure Lu Mingfei that he had no intention of launching a surprise attack.

It wasn't until the afternoon, when he took ten disciples from the Haotian Sect, bought a ship, and set sail, that the two breathed a sigh of relief as his aura gradually weakened and eventually disappeared completely.

"They're finally gone. By the way, is he planning to take them to Seagod Island?" Lu Mingfei and Qian Renxue sat at the stone table in the courtyard, drinking tea and munching on some pastries.

With a nuclear-level figure hovering around them, they wouldn't be able to eat lunch at all, right?

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows, that's indeed a good idea." Qian Renxue nodded in agreement; this kind of thing was easy to understand.

Putting aside her grandfather's relationship with Seagod Island, just the word "Seagod" alone would make her give some face even if she became an angel god in the future, otherwise it would be too awkward for the gods to meet in the future.

"At least it's temporarily resolved." Lu Mingfei got up, stretched, and prepared to quickly prepare a big meal to calm his nerves.

Qian Renxue also stood up, and when Lu Mingfei was completely unprepared, she suddenly reached out and gently hugged him from behind, resting her forehead on his back, and said softly, "Thank you for protecting me today."

She had always been the one taking the initiative, and she had never heard Lu Mingfei truly say that he liked her. But today, the way Lu Mingfei seemed to be protecting her with his life made her finally realize Lu Mingfei's feelings.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment when he felt the soft touch behind him. He was always a little at a loss when faced with such a sudden attack.

"I'm sorry, there's something I've been keeping from you," Qian Renxue said softly.

"What?" Lu Mingfei instinctively turned his head slightly and asked a question in return.

A surge of soul light appeared on Qian Renxue's right palm. Just as Lu Mingfei turned around, a gentle breeze suddenly patted his chest.

At the same time, a warm, fragrant breeze accompanied by a familiar yet distinctly provocative voice sounded in his ear:

"Brother Lu, you smell so good."

Chapter 271 The Confession

"Wa ...

Lu Mingfei was deathly pale, feeling like the sky was falling. What had happened? Was this a ghostly encounter or something?

He felt as if his head had been shoved into a toilet bowl and someone was repeatedly pressing the flush button, making a buzzing sound.

What kind of ghost is this? Why would he hear Xue Qinghe's voice here?

That's right, ventriloquism, that's it, it must be ventriloquism. She was trying to scare me on purpose, that's for sure.

I don't want the girl I like to actually be a guy in disguise!

Although the Bible says that angels have no gender, the world shouldn't just copy everything.

Just as Lu Mingfei was trying to convince himself with various reasons, Qian Renxue spoke up again with a smile:

"I am Xue Qinghe, and Xue Qinghe is me."

GG!

As Lu Mingfei heard the system notification of the golden headshot, he completely lost his strength and sat down on the ground with a thud. The image of Xue Qinghe rushing towards him with tears streaming down her face and forcefully kissing him flashed through his mind.

Suddenly, I felt like my life had been shattered, like a slideshow.

Okay, it seems he's having a heart attack; Brokeback Mountain and stuff like that are too scary.

Qian Renxue scratched her cheek, looking at Lu Mingfei's completely exhausted expression, as if she had gone a bit too far.

"What I mean is that Xue Qinghe was an imposter."

Lu Mingfei clutched his chest, which had nearly given him a heart attack, and gasped for breath several times.

Wait, wait, something's not right. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have misunderstood something.

It's certain that Qian Renxue is alive now, but Xue Qinghe is dead, so he must be an imposter. Therefore, this isn't a case of a man turning into a woman, but rather a woman disguising herself as a man.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei took several deep breaths. It turned out that it wasn't Brokeback Mountain, but Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.

Although he had figured it out, his heart was still pounding so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.

Seeing Lu Mingfei's terrified expression, Qian Renxue finally showed a hint of embarrassment. She hadn't explained clearly at first, intending to scare Lu Mingfei, but she hadn't expected his reaction to be so strong. She quickly helped him up from the ground.

Lu Mingfei lay half-lying on the stone table, his cheek pressed against the cold surface, breathing heavily with lingering fear. It took him a while to feel better.

"Zhu Yingtai, ugh, what on earth is going on?" Lu Mingfei asked, still shaken.

"I never expected that the dignified Lu Mingfei would be so frightened by this." Qian Renxue giggled, trying to get away with it by being cute.

But Lu Mingfei wasn't buying it this time. What kind of joke was this? He almost got caught!

Seeing Lu Mingfei's dark expression, Qian Renxue finally realized that she had caused some trouble this time, and quickly explained in detail the reasons why she had gone to the Tiandou Empire to carry out the plan to destroy the country over the years.

"So the Xue Qinghe I met was always you in disguise, right?" Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief.
