Chapter 264: Action Begins

Yo, a martial arts genius, my little sister is this ambitious?

Lu Jing laughed and teased.

Lu Leyi rolled her eyes, "I said this to mean I currently have no plans for romance; we'll talk about it after we get to Martial University. Anyway, there's no one I like in this small town......"

"That's not necessarily true," Lu Jing thought for a moment then said: "If you encounter that kind of person who shouts 'thirty years east, thirty years west'—especially those surnamed Xiao, Gu, Su, or Lin—you must maintain good relations with them."

Lu Leyi frowned, curiously asking: "Why?"

"Anyway, just stay friendly with such people; don't ask why."

"Okay, I got it."

Lu Leyi obediently nodded.

The brother and sister chatted and laughed as they left the school gate; a Mercedes-Benz parked nearby suddenly sounded.

Beep—

Lu Haitao, face glowing red, stepped out of the car and waved at Lu Jing and Lu Leyi.

"Come on, get in the car and head home!"

This car originally belonged to a neighbor's family, but after a successful transfer, it has become Lu Haitao's exclusive vehicle.

Lu Haitao drove smoothly, Lu Jing sat in the front passenger seat, while Feng Qinru and Lu Leyi sat in the back.

"Brother, how are things with Senior Leng Yueyue?"

Lu Leyi asked as soon as she got in the car.

Feng Qinru and Lu Haitao also became interested, adopting an attentive listening posture.

"What do you mean, how are we? We're just ordinary friends."

Lu Jing said helplessly: "We usually just have a meal together, go out and play, that's about it."

"Have you held hands or confessed anything?"

Lu Leyi continued asking.

"Are you sick? Better worry about your own grades; when we get home I'll help you train properly."

Lu Jing said with ill intent.

As soon as Lu Jing said he'd train her, Lu Leyi immediately shut her mouth.

"Little Jing, how long do you plan to stay this time?"

Feng Qinru was still more concerned about this.

Lu Jing thought, then said: "Not decided yet; probably about a week. Nothing much happening at school lately."

"It'd be best to spend the winter solstice at home together, eating dumplings."

Feng Qinru said with a smile.

"Is it already the winter solstice?"

Lu Jing blinked in surprise, not realizing it had already become December.

He instinctively looked out the car window.

All he saw were the plane trees lining the road, their leaves yellowed and falling, and pedestrians wearing thick cotton coats.

Lu Jing had been at the Shogunate Martial University for over three months.

Martial Artists have robust Blood Qi, making them less sensitive to temperature than ordinary people; Lu Jing still wore a thin shirt and felt no cold.

Lu Haitao took the family around, bought lots of ingredients at the market, then returned home.

As soon as they arrived home, the couple began bustling in the kitchen, preparing dinner.

Lu Jing instead pulled Lu Leyi upstairs to the training room to check her cultivation progress.

"Your training is decent; you don't need to go to school these days—I'll teach you a few new body-refining moves."

Upon hearing she didn't have to go to school, Lu Leyi first lit up, then immediately slumped.

"Okay, brother, please go easy on me......"

Lu Jing took out the fourth move of the Star Chronicle Forging Body Technique and taught it to Lu Leyi hands-on.

After confirming she had learned it, he went upstairs alone to the rooftop balcony.

Standing on the balcony, overlooking the distant shimmering lake, he involuntarily spread his arms and extended his mental power outward.

His mental power instantly expanded, covering a radius of several kilometers.

Every blade of grass and stone within the residential area lay within his perception.

In this state, even a gust of wind or a falling fly anywhere would be sensed by Lu Jing immediately.

At that moment, Lu Jing's brow furrowed slightly.

Near his home, in a guesthouse, he discovered a man with robust Blood Qi and an unfamiliar face.

"Such a figure in tiny Anwu City? Could it be aimed at me......"

Lu Jing observed the man for an hour and found nothing unusual.

The man was simply sitting cross-legged on the floor, eyes closed, cultivating.

"Brother, why are you still spacing out here? It's time for dinner!"

Lu Leyi's voice came from behind.

"Okay, I got it."

Lu Jing withdrew his mental power and rubbed his slightly sore temples.

Prolonged external release of mental power was taxing even for him.

"This mission is really boring; I haven't seen a trace of the enemy in days."

In a certain café, the stylishly dressed Song Lanyue lightly sipped her coffee and complained into her earpiece.

NieZhenghao said, 'How long will he protect him? I'm about to die of boredom!'

No matter what, we have to wait for him to return to school; just hold on a bit longer, Lu Jing won't be away from school for too long.

A man's voice came from the wireless earphones.

'Fine, I actually hope an enemy shows up now; otherwise I can't demonstrate my worth.'

'You'd better go into the residential complex to protect him; it's too far from his house here, and if something really happens, you won't make it in time.'

Upon hearing that, the woman stood up, stretched, and said, 'Fine, send me his address; I'll go check it out.'

At the same time.

The man who was resting with his eyes closed in the hotel suddenly opened his eyes.

'It's dark; it's time to act...'

The man pulled out his phone, dialed an encrypted number, and said, 'Hey, round up your people and go clear the scene for me.'

Not long after, many burly men in black suits near the residential complex stood up one after another and headed toward the complex.

'Dinner's ready, dinner's ready!'

Lu Leyi ran downstairs all the way, shouting excitedly.

'As soon as my brother comes home, we eat this well—I'm so jealous of my brother!'

Feng Qinru said with a chuckle beside them, 'You little brat, you make it sound like we're abusing you!'

Lu Jing also went downstairs, and as soon as he walked into the living room, he smelled a rich aroma of food.

Lu Haitao specially ordered a marble dining table, which was filled with various dishes.

Mainly meat, with plenty of vegetables that Lu Jing likes.

'Xiao Jing, that roast duck place you love most—your dad just went and bought another one back.'

Feng Qinru tore off a leg from the roast duck and placed it on Lu Jing's plate.

'Come on, son, have a few drinks with Dad!'

Lu Haitao took out a bottle of baijiu from under the table and poured Lu Jing a full cup.

'We two will drink the baijiu, let Mom and Leyi have the red wine, and we'll all have a drink together!'

'Cheers!'

As Lu Haitao raised his glass, the whole family happily drank together.

Lu Jing's heart softened, enjoying this rare moment of peace.

Suddenly, Lu Jing's brows furrowed slightly.

The glass he was holding was quietly set down.
