Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

After saying that, he turned around and greeted the crowd, "Alright, I've already made a reservation at the barbecue restaurant in advance. It should be just right to go now."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" The crowd cheered. With delicious food in front of them, they completely forgot about Lu Mingfei's matter. They knew that the matter of the First Prince of Xingluo was troublesome, and it was best for them to ignore it.

Lu Mingfei, who had been left behind by everyone, shivered violently. Why did Xue Qinghe's last words sound so sour?

Looking at the envelope in his hand, Lu Mingfei sighed, opened it casually, and then caught up with his teammates. He also wanted to see what this Star Luo Crown Prince, who was so slow to catch up with the news, had said.

Upon opening the envelope, a pleasant, fresh scent of ink wafted out. Lu Mingfei unfolded the letter and was surprised to find it filled with golden ink.

Good heavens, could this really be made with ground gold powder? Lu Mingfei clicked his tongue in amazement before finally reading the contents.

"Brother Mingfei, it's been a long time. I hope you've been well..."

This polite opening remark made it clear that the rest of the conversation would be rather dull. Lu Mingfei skimmed through the text as he walked, and it was essentially an invitation to settle things once again at the Soul Master Competition six years from now.

No wonder Xue Qinghe sent him here; it turns out he really didn't mention anything.

"Wait, what the hell is this 'sister-in-law'?" Lu Mingfei's eyes widened, and after taking a closer look at the last few paragraphs, he immediately started cursing in his heart.

"What does it matter to me if your sister-in-law is pretty? And you're showing off to me, huh? You perverted bastard, you're having an affair with twin sisters, aren't you? Does being a prince make you so great?"

Lu Mingfei would never admit that he was jealous. What's so special about a future crown prince marrying twin sisters? He could have three palaces and six courtyards, and three thousand beauties in the future.

Feudalism is so harmful! Lu Mingfei was so angry that he lit a fire and burned the letter to ashes. Out of sight, out of mind, he decided to give him a good beating next time he had the chance.

Xue Qinghe saw Lu Mingfei light the fire and nodded in satisfaction. It was ridiculous that Davis, who just randomly appeared, wanted to steal his man.

Doesn't he know how difficult Lu Mingfei is to deal with?

He had originally intended to exploit Lu Mingfei's vanity to test him further, but Lu Mingfei left without a word, not even glancing at the grand mansion, leaving him with no chance to say anything conciliatory. Could it really be as that old man Ning Fengzhi said?

Can sincerity be exchanged for sincerity?

But... what genuine feelings could a little kid have?

Lu Mingfei was unaware of how much of a child he had become in Xue Qinghe's heart. At this moment, all he wanted was to quickly eat a few bites of roasted meat to soothe his heart, which had been aching all the way.

However, no sooner had one wave subsided than another arose, and the trio in white during the midnight slot once again found a new revival point.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but twitch his lips as he looked at the barbecue restaurant whose signboard had been replaced with the logo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Is this the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School or HG Samsung? Besides collecting taxes, do they have to meddle in everything?

Originally, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had been virtually invisible for half a year. Lu Mingfei thought it was because he had successfully angered the young lady last time. He finally realized that he and the young lady were not on the same side, and he was ready to give up on that shameless little beauty scheme.

So this is a plan to undermine the enemy's strength and launch a saturation attack, right?

"Sect Master Ning, Your Excellency Bone Douluo, Miss Ning Rongrong, are you all well?" Qin Ming and the others quickly stepped forward and bowed.

"Teacher, Your Majesty Bone Douluo, my sister Rongrong."

"Brother Qinghe".

Xue Qinghe also greeted them, his face clearly showing some surprise, indicating that this wasn't pre-arranged.

"Teacher Qin Ming and Qinghe, you're here too. A few days ago, Uncle Gu and I accompanied Rongrong to the Great Soul Arena for shopping. Rongrong really liked this barbecue restaurant, so I bought several shops nearby to expand it."

Ning Fengzhi looked at the group of children in front of him with admiration and said that even in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the good seedlings that Qin Ming selected were rare talents. However, compared with Lu Mingfei, they were simply incomparable.

Lu Mingfei chuckled awkwardly, inwardly complaining that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was like a ghost that wouldn't leave.

"Lu Mingfei, why didn't you come to my birthday party a few months ago?" Ning Rongrong, dressed in a white floral dress with a warm fox fur draped over her shoulders, crossed her arms and spoke with a displeased expression.

"Huh? Oh...right! I remember I asked Brother Xue to bring you a gift." Lu Mingfei scratched his head. Last year, when Ning Rongrong celebrated her birthday, he was caught up in the gossip, so he used this as an excuse not to go and join in the fun. He also asked Xue Qinghe to bring the gift casually.

"Tch, what a sloppy guy." Ning Rongrong curled her lip. Didn't she know what kind of person Lu Mingfei was?

The poem on the fan he gave Xue Qinghe was praised even by her father. But look at the hairpin he gave her; although it looks expensive, it's clearly just a perfunctory gesture.

"Alright, alright, Rongrong, didn't you insist on coming here to eat? Ling is standing at the door, everyone come in too." Ning Fengzhi clapped his hands.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School truly lived up to its reputation for wealth and power. This small barbecue restaurant was transformed in just a few days. The windows in the lobby were spotless under the lights, and the glass of the chandeliers on the walls reflected the light, casting halos of light on the passersby.

"Perfect timing. I have something I'd like to discuss with Teacher Qin Ming, so we adults won't disturb your gathering of young people any longer."

As soon as Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, he, Bone Douluo, and Qin Ming entered a private room inside the store.

As for Ning Rongrong, she naturally stayed behind with Xue Qinghe.

Without these important figures present, everyone felt less reserved, and the atmosphere quickly warmed up, although Lu Mingfei still felt something was off.

It's really uncomfortable that little brat Ning Rongrong's eyes are like knives, constantly stabbing me with her gaze.

"Young Miss, I was wrong. No matter what, I don't deserve to be torn to pieces, do I?" Lu Mingfei begged for mercy.

Inside the room sat Bone Douluo, who was obsessed with his granddaughter. If Lu Mingfei dared to anger Ning Rongrong again, he might get a beating from the title of the continent's number one defender later.

Chapter 65 Wine

"cut."

Ning Rongrong's tone was disdainful on the surface, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips. This was the first time Lu Mingfei had admitted defeat in front of her, and she immediately felt relieved.

“You guys live such a comfortable life. I never had such a life at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.” Ning Rongrong suddenly reverted to her playful little girl nature: “When I break through next year, I want to go to the Royal Academy too.”

"Welcome, welcome!" Yu Feng and the others quickly applauded as soon as they saw the atmosphere.

This is the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, who may be the future sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. In addition, there is Yu Tianheng, the future candidate for the master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, and Lu Mingfei, the number one genius on the continent.

Just by relying on their friendship with the three classmates, they will be able to do whatever they want in the Heaven Dou Empire in the future!

"Welcome, Rongrong." Yu Tianheng and the others nodded in welcome, and even the usually aloof Ye Lingling raised her glass.

As for whether Ning Rongrong would take her support position after joining the Royal Academy, she hadn't thought about it at all. If she was capable, she would take the position; if she wasn't, she would step down. As a healer, she didn't care much about competition honors. Being a substitute and watching the show was also fine.

It has to be said that, after all, she was raised by the renowned Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and she was a proper young lady. With her innocent and naive appearance, she immediately became the darling of the group.

Lu Mingfei sometimes sighs. If it weren't for the bad kids from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he probably would have found the little girl of this age quite cute.

But now, just hearing the word "next year" gives him a headache.

Just thinking about the large group of spoiled brats and scoundrels at the Royal Academy, plus this lawless young lady, makes one imagine the chaos the academy will be in next year.

At that time, even the real Suzuran High School would probably be far behind.

"No...!" Lu Mingfei could already see that his peaceful campus life was probably gone forever.

"Lu Mingfei, what are you spacing out for again?" Ning Rongrong looked around and saw Lu Mingfei standing there in a daze, looking rather funny.

"No, it's nothing." Lu Mingfei shook his head. He was currently considering whether to wait until he reached level 30, find an excuse to leave the academy and explore the world map again, and then come back to participate in a period of training when the competition was approaching, so that he could give it a proper explanation.

Having passed level 30, with his Word Spirit abilities and strength, he shouldn't be in a period of weakness anymore. Staying in the academy all the time, besides cultivating step by step, is not very interesting.

Moreover, the academy is crowded with people and eyes, making him a very big target. Whether he wants to experiment with the power of words or overclocking cultivation, it is actually very troublesome.

He had read Lu Mingze's explanation of Junyan, and found that explosives were only the most basic use of Junyan. Lu Mingfei was using it to create sparks, which was a complete waste of its potential.

His skill proficiency is too low; if he encounters a strong opponent in the future, he'll probably make a fool of himself.

He had long known that his Word Power had an extremely high limit, which was a true cheat code. If he waited six years to explore it, it would indeed be too late.

He spent over a year at the Royal Academy. Although life seemed peaceful, it didn't mean the world was without danger. It was most important to acquire survival skills as soon as possible.

When he really thought about leaving, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a little lost. Looking at the people at the table, he gently shook his head. He couldn't help but wonder how many people would still be left at this table when the main storyline started.

By this time, the atmosphere at the table was already quite lively. As the food and drinks entered the mouth, everyone's initial restraint completely dissipated, and naturally, the more they drank, the more they talked.

One embarrassing story after another was brought up, and even Dugu Yan couldn't help but talk about some absurd things that happened when she was pursuing Yu Tianheng. Everyone laughed and joked, and even the usually calm Xue Qinghe couldn't help but smile and drink a few more sips.

"Cheers!" After making up his mind, Lu Mingfei first finished the juice in his glass, poured himself half a glass of red wine, and clinked glasses with everyone.

Although it was still early to say goodbye, he had been wanting to drink for a while, but there was no time like the present, so he decided to have half a glass; it shouldn't be a big problem.

However, after taking just one bite, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue because of the sour and astringent taste.

"Damn, this stuff tastes even worse than sour grape juice. Is it because he's just a loser who's not suited for this kind of high-class stuff?" Lu Mingfei said with a bitter face, but he still couldn't put down his glass.

Xue Qinghe noticed Lu Mingfei secretly drinking alcohol and couldn't help but laugh. As the Crown Prince of Tiandou, he actually had some knowledge of and appreciation of various kinds of wine, and he found Lu Mingfei's behavior quite amusing.

"Brother Lu, is it good? I still have quite a few vintage wines. If you like, I can give you a few bottles to try." Xue Qinghe patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder with a teasing look on his face.

"Let's forget it, I think roasted chicken wings are better." Lu Mingfei quickly shook his head, chewing on a chicken wing, and said indistinctly.

What alcohol content must a wine be to be treasured by royalty? He wanted to try drinking, but he didn't want to get drunk at all. What if he had a bad temper when drunk and revealed something? That would be the end of him.

And let alone in front of Xue Qinghe, who is acting strangely in every way.

Despite saying that, he didn't intend to give up his pursuit of the ideal high-quality life, and took several more sips while eating the roast chicken.

I don’t know if 10 minutes or half an hour had passed, but the alcohol had probably finally numbed his taste buds a little, and he was finally able to taste a hint of fragrance in addition to the sour and astringent flavor.

At the same time, the rising body temperature also gave Lu Mingfei a sense of unsuppressed illusion, probably a feeling of carefree joy.

Just then, someone opened the door, and a cool breeze carrying the faint sounds of the city blew in through the doorway, seemingly smoothing out a few slight ripples in his heart.

"No wonder all those characters in the movies like to drink," Lu Mingfei muttered to himself, his head bowed. He suddenly thought of dandelions.

"Brother Lu, are you alright?" Xue Qinghe noticed Lu Mingfei's flushed face and asked with concern.

Lu Mingfei waved his hand. He hadn't drunk much, so he felt particularly clear-headed, though he was a little hot: "I'm going to the restroom."

The taste of alcohol was indeed quite good, but he felt that if he didn't sober up soon, he would probably end up squeezing out some embarrassing little pearls!

Chapter 66 Interlude

The barbecue restaurant that was acquired by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is incredibly luxurious. Anyway, Lu Mingfei has been to the restroom in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, so it's clear that this place was designed to the highest standards.

The overall decoration is made of marble, with spacious partitions, and features such as gilded toilets, concealed cisterns, and uniquely styled washbasins, making it truly magnificent.

This environment inevitably brings to mind Japan, that magical country where toilets are said to be so good you can eat "toilet food".

But now Lu Mingfei doesn't want to eat at the toilet; he just wants to die.

It seems he went into the women's restroom by mistake!

He had just washed his face with cold water and woken up a little. Since he was already there, Lu Mingfei took care of his personal needs and thought about his future. As a result, he was half asleep and when he opened the door of the cubicle, he was suddenly dazzled by something golden.

It was a beautiful golden color; the light from the wall lamp shone on that head of golden hair, making it shine like gold, reminiscent of fine, smooth silk.

This girl must take good care of her hair, right? Lu Mingfei thought to himself, then suddenly sensed something was wrong and immediately closed the cubicle door.

A normal person probably couldn't think of a more classic and ridiculously funny scene than this.

Even though he's now in the body of an eight-year-old child, the most embarrassing part of this situation for him is that a bunch of his classmates are sitting outside, and they're all drunk.

If he were discovered, he could easily make excuses like being young, drunk, going to the wrong place, or being careless. But in front of a group of drunkards, he would be ridiculed mercilessly and eventually become a legendary laughingstock that would be brought up at every gathering.

"Calm down! Calm down! Lu Mingfei, you need to calm down!" Lu Mingfei's heart was pounding.

Although this is the deluxe toilet Plus version, and the stall he's in is the one in the far corner, it's less than fifteen meters from the door in a straight line. Without using his soul power to attract attention, he could probably escape in just two seconds and save face!

"Should we go?" Lu Mingfei was delighted to hear the tap being turned on, but his steps were followed by some hesitation.

"Damn! Did I just get caught?" Lu Mingfei felt like his heart rate was being weighed down by a weight. If the other person had gotten any closer, his heart rate would have spiked into the red danger zone and gone off the charts.

Fortunately, after a brief hesitation, the footsteps gradually faded away. Once he was sure it was safe nearby, Lu Mingfei moved with a speed even more agile than a cheetah hunting an antelope in a documentary.

"Phew, that scared me to death." Lu Mingfei leaned against the wall in the corridor and finally felt a little safe. Cold sweat kept seeping from his forehead and thin back.

He quickly wiped himself, then suddenly remembered that he hadn't washed his hands after leaving the toilet.

"Depend on!"

Lu Mingfei cursed inwardly, but his body still obediently looked up at the restroom sign. This time, he swore he was more careful than looking for Chen Wenwen's Passat license plate number, making sure he hadn't gone to the wrong place. But a familiar view rushed towards him, leaving him stunned on the spot.

"Holy crap, what's going on? Turns out she's a female hooligan!"

-

Lu Mingfei finally returned to the dining table, leisurely raising his knife and fork to continue his attack on the roast meat.

"Brother Lu, why are you so sweaty?" Xue Qinghe asked, looking at Lu Mingfei's drenched appearance.

"It's nothing, I just felt a bit hot after drinking." Lu Mingfei quickly shook his head and gave a perfunctory answer. He couldn't very well say that he had accidentally entered the women's restroom due to a misunderstanding and ended up breaking out in a cold sweat, could he?

What a shame!

Xue Qinghe nodded: "I was worried that something might have happened to you."

"Oh, thanks." Lu Mingfei scratched his head and gave him a casual reply. Then he glanced around absentmindedly. He was a little curious and wanted to find out who the female hooligan who had barged into the men's restroom was. His intuition told him that she should be a beautiful girl. However, after looking around, he couldn't find anything. She probably realized she had gone to the wrong restroom after she came out and quickly slipped away.

That makes sense, considering he had already decided what name he would be in his next life. The other person definitely wouldn't be able to stay here either.

But... why does that figure look so familiar to him?
