Card Kingdom: This kid's codex is full of gold

"Oh, my younger sister and aunt are here too."

Lu Ming also spotted Lu Xueqi and the others. He waved to his younger sister and intended to leave with the group.

At that moment, he saw Lu Xueqi standing very close to a strange young man, and his brows immediately furrowed.

"Who is that kid? Why is Xueqi standing so close to him? Could it be...?"

Lu Ming guessed at a certain possibility, his brows furrowed unusually, and he strode towards that direction.

Dugu Ying, standing in the crowd, noticed Lu Ming walking alone towards a corner and couldn't help but look over there curiously.

The next second, a look of surprise appeared on her beautiful face: "It's that guy! What's he doing here..."

Dugu Ying's gaze fell on Zhang Yun, who was sitting on the bench, as if she had discovered a new continent, her eyes fixed on him.

She was completely unaware that Zhao Long, who was walking ahead, had stopped and was looking in her direction.

Seeing that Dugu Ying was staring in one direction, Zhao Long followed her gaze and saw Zhang Yun sitting on the bench.

Zhao Long had a good memory and recognized Zhang Yun immediately.

"It's that kid from this afternoon, what's he doing here..."

Why is Dugu Ying staring at him? Could it be...?

Zhao Long seemed to have guessed something, and jealousy welled up in his eyes.

He wanted to walk that way, but after glancing at Dugu Ying and thinking it over, he finally suppressed his anger and turned to follow Chairman Zhou and the others.

He's already memorized the kid's face; he'll find a chance to ambush him someday!

Dugu Ying originally wanted to go over and say hello.

Seeing Lu Ming walk towards that direction first, she hesitated for a moment, a meaningful smile appeared on her lips, and she turned around to follow the group.

"Aunt, Xueqi, what are you doing here so late?"

Lu Ming walked up to the group, put his hands in his pockets, and greeted them with a smile.

"Of course we came here to raid the dungeon."

Teacher Lu crossed her arms and jokingly said with a smile, "I asked you to take me to run the dungeon, but you wouldn't. I can only ask Xueqi to take me."

"Please don't make fun of me. With your skills, you could easily clear it on your own. Why would you need me to guide you?"

Lu Ming smiled, then his gaze immediately shifted to Zhang Yun: "And this student is...?"

"He's my junior high classmate, Zhang Yun. He just led us through the dungeon."

Lu Xueqi put her hands on her hips, raised her chin high, and said in a boastful manner.

"Classmate..."

Lu Ming glanced at the cast iron codex floating beside Zhang Yun and sneered inwardly.

A piece of cast iron trash, capable of leading his sister through dungeons? Are you kidding me!

It must have been his sister who took him to explore the dungeon!

Ms. Lu did not notice the unusual expression on Lu Ming's face. She pointed to Zhang Yun on the bench and praised him, "This student Zhang Yun is very capable. He should be among the top students in your school's first year of high school."

"You're the student council president at your school, you must know him, right?"

"I really don't know him."

Lu Ming smiled and extended his hand to Zhang Yun. "I'm Lu Ming, a senior in high school. Nice to meet you."

Zhang Yun propped himself up and reached out to shake hands with him: "Zhang Yun, please give me your guidance, senior."

Zhang Yun naturally recognized Lu Ming, one of the three giants. He had met Lu Ming before at the boundary marker in the Frost Wolf Palace.

However, it was clear that the young master of the wealthy family did not remember his face.

"Be careful not to fall."

Seeing that Zhang Yun was still very weak and was swaying when she stood up, Lu Xueqi quickly reached out to help her.

This action caused a cold glint to appear in Lu Ming's eyes. It seemed that his sister and this boy had a really special relationship!

That damned commoner, how did he manage to get involved with his precious little sister?

What a good idea!

You just wait and see!

The two gently clasped hands and then let go.

Lu Ming, with a gentle and refined smile on his face, turned to Teacher Lu and said with a smile:

"Auntie, I need to go to the boundary marker hall to find someone, I'm off now."

"Go on, go on," Teacher Lu said with a smile, waving him away.

Lu Ming then turned to Lu Xueqi and said meaningfully, "Little sister, go home early later, I have something to tell you."

"Tell me what it is now, I'm thinking of going home a little later," Lu Xueqi replied casually, seemingly oblivious to the situation.

Lu Ming glanced at Zhang Yun discreetly and said, "It's not convenient right now, but you should just go home early later."

"I know, I know, it's so annoying!" Lu Xueqi waved her hand impatiently.

Lu Ming gave Zhang Yun a formulaic smile before turning around and chasing after Chairman Zhou and the others.

At this moment, Lu Xueqi said to Zhang Yun:

"Zhang Yun, sit down first. I'll go buy some energy drinks to help you regain your strength."

"Okay, thank you!"

"I want to drink too! I want to drink too!" Xiao Zhangqi excitedly raised her hand.

"You want a drink, right? Come on, come with me, you can choose one yourself."

"Yes, thank you, Sister Xueqi!"

Xiao Zhangqi is a little foodie, and was immediately led away by Lu Xueqi.

Teacher Lu stayed by Zhang Yun's side, took out tissues from her bag, and helped Zhang Yun wipe the water stains off her body...

...

at this time.

The boundary marker hall was packed with people.

A large number of hunters who came to watch the spectacle crowded the hall, almost bursting it.

Staff members, holding loudspeakers, kept shouting, "Don't push your way in!"

"If you push any closer, the people inside the boundary marker won't be able to get out!"

"Back off! All of you, back off! Back into the guild hall!"

"The expert who cleared the level will come out soon; you'll have plenty of chances to see him then, so don't push your way in!"

However, curiosity killed the cat, and a large number of hunters still flocked in, taking pictures indiscriminately with their mobile phones, making the already crowded boundary hall even more congested and chaotic.

At this moment, someone shouted loudly from outside the passage:

"Get the hell out of here!"

"The president and Commander Shen have personally come to inspect the area!"

"Anyone who dares to block the way, arrest them all!"

"Holy crap, the president himself came!"

"Commander Shen is here too! He's the ruthless killer in our army! Get out of the way quickly, don't block those two big shots' path!"

The two old men were highly respected, and the hunters dared not offend them, so they all began to retreat.

In the blink of an eye, a two-meter-wide passageway was cleared in the crowded corridor.

Chairman Zhou and Commander Shen walked solemnly toward the boundary marker hall, followed by a group of young geniuses.

Upon entering the boundary marker hall, everyone immediately went to the boundary marker.

"What's going on?" Chairman Zhou asked the staff member next to him.

The staff member wiped his sweat and bowed to report, "Reporting to the Guild Master, someone just appeared to have passed the Punishment Challenge, triggering the Dark Gold Holy Light!"

Chairman Zhou nodded and asked, "Can you confirm the name or nickname of the person attempting the challenge?"

"He is anonymous, named Zhang Laomo, who cleared the game in 30 minutes. He is currently ranked second on the solo clear leaderboard, second only to Lord Ye Fan in first place."

"It was him?!"

"How is that possible!"

Upon hearing the name, Lu Ming and Zhao Long in the crowd both gasped in unison...
