Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from the Black Myth

Chapter 12 Parents
In another world, Xiao Xitian, after defeating the Yellow Eyebrow King, Lu Mingfei heard such a story:
The Yellow-browed Monk, who believed that human nature was evil, transformed himself into an old turtle and came to the world. The officers and soldiers who discovered him carried him to a town.

The medicine it took out could cure dying children, the mucus it secreted could make people look radiant, it could build houses by waving its hands, and the sky would change when it looked up. Its body was not filled with monsters and flesh, but with gold, silver and jewelry. The old turtle showed its miracles to the mortals. As long as the mortals offered it delicious fish and fruits, it would fulfill their dreams. It was also revered as a god by the mortals. The town became more and more prosperous, and statues of the old turtle were erected everywhere.

Eventually, an accident happened. Someone could not resist the temptation of the gold, silver and jewels in the turtle's body, was seduced by an invisible force, cut open the turtle's skin with a knife, and greedily took away the precious things inside.

Then, an avalanche of events occurred as if it was destined. The people's desire for wealth was greater than their admiration for the turtle, and they rushed forward like crazy, ignoring the turtle's screams of pain, tearing his flesh apart bit by bit, bathing in his body fluids and jewels.

Eventually, the old turtle died, and the town that committed the evil act soon disappeared over time. After this incarnation, Huang Mei believed that this further confirmed his view that human nature is evil.

The old turtle bestowed kindness on the people, but the people eventually returned it evil. Isn't this proof that human nature is evil?
Lu Mingfei doesn't think so. Because Huang Mei's behavior is putting the cause and effect in the wrong place. He only sees the evil of people killing it in the end, but he doesn't see the good of people respecting and worshipping it in the beginning. Human nature is complicated. If you instigate others with malicious intent from the beginning, how can others not do evil?
Therefore, Lu Mingfei would not easily judge others by good or evil, and would not bother to do so. If someone did good, he would repay him with the same degree of good; if someone did bad, he would punish him with the same degree of bad.

This is the major code of conduct that Lu Mingfei, as a man of destiny, always follows when traveling to the West. When he returns to this world, he will still act in this way.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei felt that the topic extended from his uncle and aunt was a bit off topic, so he stopped thinking about these irrelevant things, glanced at the sunset outside the window, and sat on the bed to meditate.

For Lu Mingfei now, facing this world that is both familiar and unfamiliar, nothing is more important than improving his foundation.

"I kind of miss the elixir refined by the dog." Before entering the meditative state, Lu Mingfei thought nostalgically, as if he could still smell the fire and medicinal fragrance of the alchemy furnace. If he could take a few elixirs, the improvement of his foundation would surely be twice as effective with half the effort. His human body was still too weak.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei felt as if the voice of the dog was still in his ears: "Take medicine, take medicine. If you talk about your origin, it's even more unfair. It's too early. Can you come back another day?"

In the future, will he be able to return to that Ruyi painting and see the kind and funny big dog who stays in front of the alchemy furnace day and night fanning himself and gives him elixirs to eat?

The next morning, at the Regent Hotel.

Last night, my uncle and aunt received a call from Guderian inviting them to a dinner here.

So, the next morning, except for Lu Mingfei, the whole family dressed up and came to the VIP restaurant on the ninth floor of the Regent Hotel to prepare for the banquet: Uncle was wearing a well-tailored suit and had a bulging belly, teaching Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze to be polite and well-mannered in such a high-end occasion. Aunt looked around and praised the high-end hotel, and Lu Mingze also raised his head proudly, as if he was the protagonist of this magnificent place today.

Lu Mingfei was still wearing casual clothes, walking behind the three people with a calm face. If Professor Guderian hadn't wanted to meet the parents of his outstanding students, he would have wanted to travel alone. After all, apart from Zhu Bajie's brief company on the journey to the west, Lu Mingfei almost walked this long journey alone. So he had long been accustomed to the feeling of being alone.

"Hello! Lu Mingfei!" After seeing the four people, a burly old man with gray hair came up and shook Lu Mingfei's hand without saying a word, his face full of joy. This was Professor Guderian. Next to him stood two interviewers that Lu Mingfei had met before, Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki.

"Hello, Professor." Lu Mingfei calmly responded to Professor Guderian's enthusiasm, looking at his Western appearance with some curiosity. After traveling in another world, he had not seen these Westerners who lived in a place farther away than the West for a long time.

Professor Guderian exchanged pleasantries with Lu Mingfei for a long time before he took his uncle and aunt, who seemed a little embarrassed and dissatisfied, to their seats.

During the following meal time, Lu Mingze enjoyed the top-notch delicacies on the table with shining eyes. His uncle and aunt were impressed by the introduction of Kassel Academy by the two handsome men and beautiful women, Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki. Lu Mingfei listened absent-mindedly to Professor Guderian's praise for his overall qualities and potential, because compared with these, he wanted to know more about the secrets of the dragon race and the hybrids.

However, when Lu Mingfei heard Professor Guderian say that he would allocate a scholarship of 36000 US dollars per year from his name to him, his eyes still lit up.

You see, when fate comes, money will come too, right? Lu Mingfei couldn't help but think. Although he forgot how many RMB one US dollar was equal to, he felt that he would definitely have enough money to buy wine.

It is estimated that uncle, aunt, professor and other people would not have thought that Lu Mingfei was happy about this scholarship just to buy wine. After all, he could not buy the elixir made by the dog and the weapons forged by the tiger. Only the wine could be bought and put into the Shangqing treasure gourd to further brew the good wine he had been thinking about.

After talking about the scholarship, Lu Mingfei, who had been absent-minded, suddenly became sharp when he heard Professor Guderian mention something about his parents.

Seeing Lu Mingfei's sharp eyes, Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki's bodies subconsciously froze. In yesterday's interview, Lu Mingfei, the S-level, left a very deep impression on them.

"You said that my parents are also alumni of Kassel College?" Lu Mingfei asked in a low voice.

"Yes! They care about you a lot, Mingfei." Professor Guderian said happily, not noticing that Lu Mingfei's mood had become strange. "Although I haven't met them, I heard that they have been busy with important projects and traveling all over the world. I have a photo of them here. Oh, and there is also a letter your mother wrote to the college about you."

Taking a photo from Professor Guderian, Lu Mingfei stared at the handsome and beautiful couple in the photo. A man and a woman were walking hand in hand in the vine wall. The man was wearing a loose white shirt and wide-leg pants, and a pair of wooden slippers, and the woman was wearing a pure white cotton dress. They looked at each other's faces with warm smiles.
