Chapter 230: Wuye Mountain

Lu Jing's spiritual power inadvertently rested on Xiao Yu's father's body.

After sensing the abundant Blood Qi of the middle-aged man on the High‑Speed Rail, he developed a strong interest in him.

Unexpectedly, while playing with Xiao Yu, a flash of lightning appeared on the man's fingertip.

Although the movement was very covert, Lu Jing still caught it.

"I don't know what level of Talent Endowed he is, but he shouldn't be too weak; a lightning Talent Endowed coming here to travel, I hope his appearance won't hinder me......"

Lu Jing muttered to himself: "If he's an enemy, I can only dispose of him handily; what a pity for such a young child!"

After thinking it over, Lu Jing strode toward his own room.

"Wow, the room is nicely arranged; the tour guide really didn't deceive us," Li Xixi entered the room and jumped onto the bed, "So comfortable, we really came to the right place this time!"

Zhang Yujie looked at Li Xixi rolling on the bed and said somewhat speechlessly: "Again you say we came to the right place; earlier on the bus you weren't saying that......"

"Before was before, now is now!"

Li Xixi snorted proudly, took out her phone and showed it to Zhang Yujie.

"Look, I added to his Prestige!"

Zhang Yujie rolled her eyes: "I was wondering what was wrong; it turns out we didn't come to the right place, we met the right person!"

"Hehe, jealous?"

Li Xixi happily opened Lu Jing's Moments, found a selfie: "Look, he's so handsome, and his figure is off the charts; seeing him play with kids, his personality must be great too!"

Zhang Yujie leaned in to take a look, nodded: "Indeed not bad; this kind of guy is rare, but he looks somewhat familiar—I feel I've seen him somewhere......"

"Oh come on, you always say a handsome guy looks familiar when you see one; you might as well say he's your ex‑boyfriend—I can tell you're just jealous of me."

Li Xixi long‑pressed the image, saved it to her phone: "I warn you, don't try to steal my man, or I'll turn against you!"

After saying that, she opened Lu Jing's avatar and sent a voice message with a tone: "Hey bro, what are you up to?"

"Tch, you're overthinking; I don't like young guys, I prefer the older‑man type."

Zhang Yujie said disdainfully.

Upon mentioning older men, she suddenly recalled the middle‑aged man who had startled her on the bus.

The flash of lightning in the man's eyes left a vivid memory.

"Xiao Yu, stop playing, hurry over so I can wash your feet and put you to sleep."

In another guest room, the middle‑aged man looked at the little girl playing a mobile game and urged her.

"Okay, coming!"

Xiao Yu hung up her phone, hopped onto the water‑filled basin, and looked at the man with hopeful eyes.

"Dad, when will Mom come to find us?"

As the middle‑aged man was washing his daughter's feet, his hand suddenly stopped, and a flicker of sorrow and resentment crossed his eyes.

"Be good, Xiao Yu; Mom has gone far away and won't be back anytime soon......"

After drying her feet, the man lifted the little girl onto the bed: "Dad will read you a story; hurry up and sleep."

After a while.

Watching his daughter fall into deep sleep, the man sighed and picked up the phone beside the pillow.

After opening an avatar labeled "Father," he edited a text message.

"Father, I have brought Xiao Yu down to the mountain's base; we can reach the village tomorrow. Although I know this will bring trouble to everyone, for now I can only ask you to protect us father and daughter......"

After finishing the edit, the man clicked send.

Soon, the phone rang.

The man carefully got up, walked to the bathroom and closed the door.

"Hello, Father I......"

"Do you still see me as your father? Have you forgotten the mission of the Lei family?"

On the other end of the phone, an aged and stern voice sounded: "Back when you came down the mountain, I tried every way to stop you; now you've stirred up trouble, being hunted everywhere, and you actually know to come back?!"

Lei Hao gripped the phone tightly, his face showing shame, he stammered: "Father, Rourou was killed by them; now I am alone with Xiao Yu, I only beg you to let Xiao Yu stay, I will leave on my own......"

After a moment of silence on the other end, a long sigh came through.

"Sigh, what exactly have you provoked, kid? Tell me in detail!"

Lei Hao relaxed upon hearing this, his voice deep: "It's a grand master named Li Feiyu from the capital; he opened a martial arts hall there, and over a business dispute it turned into a deadly feud."

"He is treacherous and ruthless, striking lethal blows at the slightest disagreement; if I hadn't paralyzed them with Thunder Paralysis, I would probably already be dead there......"

"A grand master?"

The old man's voice grew grave: "Even if we two join forces, it would be hard to gain an advantage against a grand master; by the way, were you followed on your way here?"

Lei Hao pondered a moment; along the way he didn't seem to have met anyone strange, except that boy who made him feel somewhat dangerous.

"Probably not; I deliberately took a tour group's bus to avoid attention, so they might not be able to find out."

"All right then," the old man lightly sighed, "come to Wuye Mountain tomorrow; hide here for a while, wait for the storm to pass before making plans, and be careful on the road!"

"Okay, Father, you can rest assured."

Lei Hao hung up the phone and let out a long breath.

He looked at the sleeping Xiao Yu, his stern eyes softening: "With Father's help, Xiao Yu's safety is assured."

On the bed, a crystal‑clear tear trickled from the little girl's eye corner......

"Drip——"

Lu Jing opened the door and inserted the key card into the slot.

The lights came on; after a quick glance around the room's arrangement, he nodded in satisfaction.

He extended his spiritual power and searched the room.

"Click——"

A sound of breaking glass came from a corner, and a hidden camera was crushed to pieces by Lu Jing using his mental power.

After doing all that, he took out a supreme-grade Dan Medicine from his space ring and put it into his mouth.

Feeling the surging medicinal power explode within his body, Lu Jing began practicing the Star Chronicle Forging Body Technique.

He didn't stop until late at night, then took a shower and got into bed to prepare for sleep.

"Thunder Pond Forbidden Zone... I hope there's something that will surprise me."

Lu Jing took out his phone and dealt with the unread messages.

Apart from the greetings of Ma Houshi, Jiang Fanxin, and several others.

Li Xixi had the most messages.

After Lu Jing opened them, messages flooded in like a bombardment.
