Chapter 26

"Where did this wild brat come from? You think you can barge into the Murong estate?"

Outside the Murong estate, Lu Xun was stopped by the guards.

This estate is huge, with villas one after another, and many of the Murong family live here.

Except for Murong Wan.

She had never managed to open her meridians, holding back the Murong family, and to avoid being lectured by the elders, she simply bought a separate villa to live in.

"I have an important matter to discuss with Murong Wan; please inform her that Lu Xun is looking for her."

Lu Xun did not give up.

"There are plenty of people looking for our young lady; if she saw everyone, she'd be annoyed to death—hurry up and leave."

Several guards repeatedly drove him away.

Lu Xun hadn't expected that, after running over to deliver medicine, he wouldn't even be able to enter their estate.

"Forget it."

Lu Xun shook his head and prepared to leave.

A car drove up; inside, Murong Wan sat in the back seat with a worried frown.

These past two days, she has been running around trying to find a cure for the poison affecting Murong Zhan.

The Shadow Clan's poison is particularly troublesome; even if Murong Zhan can suppress it for now, over time he cannot sustain the drain.

Moreover, Murong Zhan cannot engage in combat.

Each time he fights, the poison worsens a bit.

Murong Wan searched everywhere for a solution; some clans have medicines that can alleviate it somewhat, especially the Wang family, which possesses a medicine that can suppress the poison for a considerable time.

But they took the opportunity to make a demand, wanting Murong Wan to marry into their family.

Murong Wan refused.

"Beep-beep~"

The horn sounded.

Murong Wan looked up and realized, without noticing, that they had arrived at the estate.

After busying herself for most of the day, she still hadn't found a particularly good solution.

At that moment, she noticed a figure at the gate that seemed somewhat familiar.

She rolled down the window to look, and upon seeing it was Lu Xun, she was startled.

Lu Xun... what is he doing here?

After that night, whenever she was alone in the quiet night, occasional images would surface, making her face flush.

But she was single-mindedly cultivating and did not intend to have any further involvement with Lu Xun.

"Murong Wan."

Opposite her, Lu Xun also saw her.

"Stop the car."

"All right, Miss."

Murong Wan got out of the car.

Lu Xun walked over, gazing at her exquisite face, and involuntarily recalled that enchanting night.

His heart stirred instantly.

The eyes are the window to the soul; his change in expression could not escape Murong Wan's notice.

Murong Wan seemed to sense Lu Xun's thoughts, and her expression turned somewhat unnatural.

"Yesterday the Shadow Clan launched an assassination; are you alright?"

She spoke first.

"I'm fine; I even killed a Shadow Clan member, and I took this from him—it might be useful for your father."

Lu Xun handed over the small medicine bottle.

His words left Murong Wan slightly surprised.

Shadow Clan members are so troublesome, yet Lu Xun actually killed one—how did he manage that?

She didn't know that Lu Xun's brilliant performance yesterday was entirely thanks to her diligent cultivation.

"Thank you; I'll take this back and try it on my father."

Murong Wan gratefully accepted it.

Regardless of whether the medicine in the small bottle works, Lu Xun's coming here makes this sentiment quite precious.

Immediately afterward, she wondered how Lu Xun knew her father was injured.

As soon as she thought of Lu Xun's relationship with Chu Youqing, she suddenly understood.

Moreover, the news of Murong Zhan's injury spread quickly these past two days, and she had also heard that someone in the Murong family was deliberately spreading it.

Some people would actually like Murong Zhan to die.

"Then I'll be going."

After handing over the medicine, Lu Xun prepared to leave.

"Won't you come in and sit? If this medicine works, my father will surely thank you properly."

Murong Wan invited him.

"No, I have to go to the capital; Chu Youqing told me you'll be going there too, so we'll meet again in the capital."

Lu Xun refused.

"Wait."

Lu Xun was about to leave when Murong Wan called out to stop him.

"You few, come over, just now were you deliberately making things difficult for Lu Xun?"

Her voice turned cold, she said to the several guards.

The several guards' faces changed, and they hurriedly ran over.

"Lu Brother, sorry, we have eyes but don't know Mount Tai; please, magnanimous one, do not hold our petty offense against us."

The guards came before Lu Xun, repeatedly apologizing.

"You dare block the miss's guest; take your wages and get lost, just seeing you annoys me."

A person resembling a steward appeared.

"This brother, the servant doesn't know the rules; please don't take offense."

He was full of apology, bowing his waist to apologize to Lu Xun.

"This guy, only now shows up."

Earlier, Lu Xun clearly saw him looking around not far away.

"This Murong family, the water is deep."

After leaving the Murong family, Lu Xun thought.

No wonder Murong Wan wants to live separately.

Hope this medicine will be useful for Murong Zhan this time.

Murong Wan hasn't grown up yet; the Murong family must not fall into chaos.

If it becomes chaotic, once Murong Wan is affected, Lu Xun will suffer a huge loss.

"Let's go, to the capital."

Lu Xun got onto the carriage and headed toward the Martial Manor.

"Lu Xun classmate, you arrived too late; stay at a hotel for one night, tomorrow we will arrange personnel to escort you together with the other students to the capital."

"Okay, thank you."

"No need."

Genius always receives special treatment.

For example, when Lu Xun arrived today, it was already late; the Martial Manor still arranged for Lu Xun to stay in a hotel specialized in official reception, with strong protection at all times.

"Strange."

Next morning, Lu Xun got up puzzled.

"Meow."

Xiao Bai also woke up.

He finds it strange; Xiao Bai last night also had no abnormality, didn't suddenly speak, and turn into that damn princess.

Could it be that the princess's consciousness takes several days to emerge once?

"Not an alien species."

A few hours later, at the Rong Cheng airport security checkpoint, Xiao Bai passed inspection.

It is not a Star Void Alien Species.

Star Void Alien Species bodies contain some special energy, still easy to detect.

Even if they enter the city, they will be suppressed by the city's magic array, and will not cause great destruction inside.

If they are outside the city, they become fierce.

"May I ask, are you Lu Xun?"

"It's me; who are you?"

"I am Song Yuan from the Second Middle School; the heavenly phenomenon on the 28th was caused by me."

"You haven't encountered an assassination by the Shadow Clan, have you?"

"No, as soon as the Shadow Clan's news came out, I hid."

On the silver-white flying vessel, Lu Xun met other students heading to the capital.

The flying vessel is a new-style aircraft; its shape resembles a boat, it has no wings, yet it can soar the skies.

Some top-tier flying vessels can even fly out of the atmosphere and navigate in outer space.

There are not few students on this flying vessel; they are all preparing to go early to Tsinghua-Peking to report.

"Wow, is that dragon bone?"

"Look above, that should be a space fortress, how magnificent."

"Quick look, there's a tree in the clouds."

"That's a Cloud Cotton Tree planted by the Weaver Maiden Palace; the cotton harvested from it, made into Cloud Brocade Treasure Clothing, naturally has an anti-gravity feature, costing tens of millions each."

Along the way, the students witnessed many wonders.

A bird the size of a sparrow flew toward them; upon approaching the flying vessel, it instantly became larger than the vessel, opened its big mouth and lunged to swallow the vessel.

The high-speed flying vessel made a turn to avoid it.

Immediately after, a figure flew out and battled the giant bird.

"It's an alien species!"

"So big, I don't know what level it is."

This scene shocked the students enough.

On Lan Xing, there are not few Star Void Alien Species hiding; from time to time, one or two pop out.

Today, it just happened to be encountered by the students.

Fortunately, there are strong individuals on the flying vessel escorting; this alien species was quickly dealt with.

Two hours later, the capital arrived.

"No wonder it's the capital; there are so many floating islands in the sky."

Many students exclaimed in amazement.

The capital's skyline was breathtaking—hundreds of floating islands hung like inverted mountains, waterfalls cascading from their edges, evaporating into seven-colored clouds in midair.

These floating islands formed an extremely three-dimensional defense system for the capital.

"Lu Xun, over here!"

At the arrival gate, Chu Youqing, who had been waiting there, saw Lu Xun arrive and waved happily.
