Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 40 Linghuai Pearl

"I'm really sorry, Lord City Lord, I already know what happened. My idiot was so rude last night and caused you trouble!" As soon as Wei Qianqian saw Lu Jingming, she quickly stepped forward with a sincere apology on her face.

Her long blue hair was as smooth as a waterfall, and she looked young and beautiful, only in her early twenties. It was impossible to associate her with the mother of two children.

As she spoke, she did not forget to glare at Lan Yu, who was standing beside her with an embarrassed look on her face.

"It's okay, Sister Wei, it's just a misunderstanding. I don't take it to heart." Lu Jingming responded politely.

From Wei Qianqian's self-introduction, Lu Jingming learned her identity.

Looking at her iconic long blue hair, Lu Jingming guessed that Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo's martial spirits were most likely inherited from her.

Moreover, this seemingly young mother exudes a powerful aura, which is even stronger than her husband Lan Yu. It is obvious that she is also an extraordinary Soul Saint, and her level is not low.

When Wei Qianqian heard Lu Jingming affectionately call her "Sister Wei", a smile suddenly broke out on her face, and her eyes looking at Lu Jingming became softer.

White hair and red eyes, stunning looks, extraordinary talent, noble status, and only two years older than her daughter, all these advantages are gathered in Lu Jingming, making Wei Qianqian more and more satisfied the more she looks at him. The look in her eyes is just like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more she looks, the happier she is.

This made Lan Yu very angry. He felt sour in his heart and a look of dissatisfaction unconsciously appeared on his face.

But before he could explode, he was glared back at by his wife, and he immediately stopped fighting. Like a defeated rooster, he stood aside obediently, not daring to say a word.

"In any case, we were impolite last night. Please accept our apology. Also, if you need anything from my Lan family in the future, please let me know." Wei Qianqian said as she handed over a beautifully wrapped gift box.

Lu Jingming thought for a moment and then reached out to take it.

He knew in his heart that only by accepting this apology could the Lan family completely let go of their worries, and believed that he would not be brooding over what happened last night.

Seeing Lu Jingming readily accept the apology, Wei Qianqian's face suddenly showed a look of joy and her smile became even brighter.

After a brief chat, Wei Qianqian stood up and said goodbye.

The two little girls who had been standing aside like little quails did not dare to speak until this moment.

"Goodbye, big brother." Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo said crisply, their voices as sweet as silver bells.

"Well, goodbye." Lu Jingming looked at them with a smile on his face.

He secretly laughed in his heart. These two little ones were obviously as scared of their mother as their father.

Beside the busiest street in Shrek City, an exquisite three-story building stands quietly.

On the plaque on the roof, the three big characters "Qun Yu Pavilion" shine brightly, exuding a unique charm under the caress of sunlight.

Ningguang stood on the rooftop of the Qun Yu Pavilion, her posture elegant, playing with the exquisite pipe in her hand. Her eyes casually swept over the bustling crowd downstairs, finally fixing on the direction of Shrek Academy.

She slowly stretched out her hand, as if trying to take the entire Shrek Academy into her palm and control everything.

"You businessmen are just greedy." A crisp voice suddenly broke the silence.

The voice came from a small, black tower puppet, standing quietly to the side. The traces of joints were clearly visible, silently proclaiming that it was not a real person, but a delicate puppet. Ningguang did not bristle at the words, but instead curled her lips into a gentle smile. "Ms. Black Tower, isn't it the same? It's just that I covet wealth and money, while you pursue endless knowledge."

The Black Tower puppet didn't seem surprised by this answer, and responded calmly, "You're not wrong."

For the Black Tower, unknown knowledge is like a magnet, with an irresistible attraction.

But once those unknowns are solved and become known, her interest will quickly dissipate.

After a brief silence, the black tower puppet spoke again: "For the sake of that little fellow, I will leave this puppet here. If anything happens, you can contact me through it, but whether I respond or not depends on my mood."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black tower puppet lost its life in an instant, as if the power was cut off, becoming stiff and still, as if it had never spoken a word.

"How willful." Ningguang shook her head helplessly, sighing inwardly.

Heita's character is indeed unpredictable. If she was not going to take over the financial power of Haiyuan City and provide a steady stream of financial support for Heita's experiments, Heita would probably not pay any attention to her at all.

In the entire Haiyuan City, only Lu Jingming can see the true form of the Black Tower and have an in-depth conversation with her.

Others, even people like Jingliu, rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with the Black Tower.

However, the Black Tower is not completely unpredictable. Once needed, she will take the initiative to show up, just like this time when she took the initiative to find Ningguang, who is about to become the "money bag" of Haiyuan City.

After all, her costly experiment would have to rely on Ningguang for financial support in the future.

At the same time, on the other side of Haiyuan City, Orange was standing at the city gate, looking back at the city for the last time.

There was a determination glint in her eyes, and she knew that she would not come back here for a long time.

"According to intelligence, the new crown prince of the Sun-Moon Empire, Xu Tianran, will arrive at the border soon. I don't have much time."

Orange murmured softly. She had changed into a simple outfit and wore a pair of black-framed glasses, which mostly concealed her originally outstanding appearance.

The task assigned to her by Wu Chang Si was to lurk beside Xu Tianran and gain his absolute trust.

If necessary, he would even sacrifice his life to protect Xu Tianran.

Although she didn't know why Wu Chang Si gave this important task to a twelve-year-old girl like her, she still accepted the task in order to have the power to kill the White Tiger Duke and overthrow the top leaders of the Sun and Moon Empire.

She subconsciously touched her brow, where her confidence was hidden - a ninth-level soul guide device "Linghuai Pearl".

This soul guide has only one function, but it is extremely powerful. At the moment of her physical death, it can instantly transfer her soul back to Haiyuan City.

As long as she returns to Haiyuan City, the white flower in Lu Jingming's hand, which possesses the power of creation, can reshape her body.

Therefore, Juzi was not worried that she would become a chess piece that was casually discarded. After all, the ninth-level soul guide between her eyebrows was worth far more than her current life.

This is also her biggest trump card to gain Xu Tianran's trust. After all, she is really willing to risk her life to protect Xu Tianran.
