Chapter 562: Yun Mengrou's Family Background!

Lu Xiao saw Jiang Feng and was also taken aback.

Lu Xiao wore a black combat uniform, hair tied at the back of the brain, and looked efficient and crisp.

Lu Xiao's face had no makeup, skin was fair, features were proper, and eyes were sharp.

Compared with Last Time we met, Lu Xiao's temperament had changed greatly, becoming more steady, more fierce, and her whole body exuded an aura of long‑been‑through battle.

Since Last Time we met, Lu Xiao was ordered by the Dragon Group headquarters, transferred from Jiangnan, and went to Kyoto to carry out other missions.

Lu Xiao only returned recently because of a mission, but this mission was too tense, so Lu Xiao hadn't had time to meet Jiang Feng, and didn't expect to run into Jiang Feng Here.

Seeing the old friend, Lu Xiao immediately relaxed.

Lu Xiao extended a hand and waved.

"Withdraw!"

Those dozen‑plus people instantly retreated like a tide, their movements uniform and synchronized, like a precise machine.

They vanished silently in the stairwell.

The Corridor recovered quiet.

Until only two people remained in the Corridor, Lu Xiao couldn't help but ask.

"Jiang Feng, why are you Here?"

Lu Xiao's voice carried a few notes of surprise and a few notes of curiosity.

Seeing Lu Xiao again, Jiang Feng also felt somewhat as if from another world.

Jiang Feng looked Lu Xiao up and down, his gaze full of surprise.

"Group Leader Lu, your strength..."

Jiang Feng couldn't help but say.

"You've broken through to Heavenly Human Realm?"

Lu Xiao smiled, that smile bearing a few notes of emotion and a few notes of gratitude.

"Yes, thanks to you."

Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment.

"Thanks to me?"

Lu Xiao nodded, his gaze becoming serious.

"Jiang Feng, do you still remember you helped me improve the Standing Sword Technique? That improved Method not only made my cultivation speed faster."

"More importantly, it corrected the hidden injuries and Meridians blockage in my body that had lasted years. Previously I cultivated the Lu family's Standing Sword Technique, though progress wasn't slow, I always felt something was wrong, like a layer of Window paper that couldn't be pierced."

Lu Xiao paused briefly, then continued.

"After you improved it for me, I cultivated according to the new Method, and in less than a month that layer of Window paper broke. I broke through from Grandmaster Third Pin all the way, first to Master Peak, then touched the threshold of Heavenly Human Realm."

"My family spent a great price, hired several seniors to guard me, and used many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, only three months ago formally broke through to Heavenly Human Realm."

Jiang Feng listened, and was also happy for her in his heart.

"That's good. It seems the improvement direction of the Standing Sword Technique is correct."

Lu Xiao shook his head, his tone becoming more sincere.

"It's not only the direction that's right; you saved my life. If not improved, I might have been stuck in Master Realm forever, even possibly gone mad due to Method flaws. This gratitude I have kept in my heart."

Jiang Feng waved his hand.

"We're friends; saying this would be overly formal."

Lu Xiao looked at Jiang Feng, his gaze full of gratitude.

"For you it's a trivial effort, for me it's a rebirth of grace. No matter what, I Lu Xiao owe you a favor; whenever you need help, just ask."

Jiang Feng smiled, and did not linger on this topic.

He turned and asked.

"By the way, where did you go later? After Last Time we parted, there was no news of you."

Lu Xiao said.

"After the last time completing the mission in Jiangnan, I was transferred by the Dragon Group headquarters back to Kyoto. The headquarters had a vacancy, so I went."

Jiang Feng asked curiously.

"What vacancy?"

Lu Xiao's tone became serious.

"Dragon Group Northern Deputy Town Guard."

Jiang Feng's eyebrows lifted slightly.

Dragon Group Northern Deputy Town Guard, that is not an ordinary position.

The Dragon Group across the nation is divided into several large regions, each region appoints one Town Guard and several Deputy Town Guards.

Those who can become Deputy Town Guard are at least Heavenly Human Realm experts, and must have abundant experience and solid ability.

"Then congratulations to you."

Jiang Feng said.

Lu Xiao waved his hand.

"There's nothing to congratulate; the higher the position, the greater the Responsibility."

"Every day I'm busy to the point my Foot doesn't touch the ground, not even a moment to rest. If it weren't for Miss Yun's matter, I would still be handling a bunch of messes up north."

Jiang Feng nodded, his gaze scanning the Corridor.

"These people were brought by you? What happened to Yun Mengrou?"

Lu Xiao, hearing this, immediately furrowed his eyebrows, his gaze becoming heavy.

"Jiang Feng, the friend you're looking for wouldn't be the popular star Yun Mengrou, would it?"

As soon as those words were spoken, Jiang Feng immediately nodded.

"Yeah, that's her. I have some business with her; the Su Group has a partnership with her, and she suddenly wants to terminate all cooperation for the next six months. I'm here to ask about the situation."

Lu Xiao heard this, but showed a troubled expression.

Her Mouth moved, about to speak but stopped, and her gaze was full of complex emotions.

After a moment of silence, she finally spoke.

"Jiang Feng… you have helped me, and even corrected our Lu family's Standing Blade Technique. If it weren't for you, I might have no hope in this life. So there are some things I don't want to hide from you."

She paused, and her voice dropped even lower.

"But Miss Yun's current situation is special; you… would be better off not seeing her!"

Lu Xiao's Tone was very serious, with no hint of joking at all.

As soon as those words were spoken, Jiang Feng was indeed stunned.

"Why? She's my friend; is it really impossible for me to see her even once?"

Lu Xiao took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Feng, and his gaze became serious.

"Do you know Miss Yun, and know who her grandfather is?"

Jiang Feng shook his head.

"I don't know. I only know she's a star, her family seems to have some background, but I'm not clear on the specifics."

Lu Xiao's voice became very low, as if he were revealing a monumental secret.

"Miss Yun's grandfather is the Grand Commander of the Military, Five-Star General Yun Yi."

Jiang Feng's Pupils suddenly contracted.

Grand Commander of the Military, Five-Star General, that is the highest rank in the Imperial army.

Throughout the Empire, no more than five people can Gain the Five-Star General title.

Each of them is a great figure with outstanding achievements and a reputation that shakes the world, wielding heavy troops and holding power that tilts the court and the realm.

He didn't expect that Yun Mengrou was actually General Yun Yi's granddaughter.

Lu Xiao continued speaking, and his speaking speed became faster.

"And just three days ago, General Yun Yi was attacked in his private residence, and his fate remains unknown to this day. Moreover, at the same time, almost all core personnel of the Yun family were attacked, and Miss Yun was also nearly assaulted to death."

Jiang Feng's complexion completely changed.

"This time, I am acting on orders from the Dragon Group headquarters, coming to protect Miss Yun."

Lu Xiao's voice was very calm, but each word hit Jiang Feng's heart like a heavy hammer.

"Therefore, Miss Yun's current situation is extremely special. Her Safety is top secret, and no outsider is allowed to approach."

Jiang Feng, Standing in the Corridor, looked at Lu Xiao, his Brain in total Chaos.

The Grand Commander of the Military was attacked, almost all core personnel of the Yun family were assaulted, and Yun Mengrou was nearly killed.

Who did this?

The hand behind it is unbelievably grand!
