He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

Aunt Yao and Old Feng looked at the child in shock, then gave him a look that said, "Good luck to you."

If the young lady knew about this, she'd be merciful if she didn't assign you two meters of homework.

"This is Zhu Qingqing, my..."

Lu Chen was conflicted; should he call them friends, or...?

At this moment, Zhu Qingqing stood up, picked up the water glass in front of her, and toasted everyone with tea instead of wine, her voice clear and cold:

"Everyone, my name is Zhu Qingqing. I've received orders to become Lu Chen's personal bodyguard. Also..."

She paused, her face expressionless, but her ears turned slightly red.

"I was just following the orders of Sister Xuanyuan Wu, as Lu Chen's... concubine,"

She was responsible for monitoring his every move and reporting to Sister Xuanyuan Wu at any time.

After she finished speaking, she sat down.

The dinner table fell silent. Everyone stared in shock, their mouths agape. Even Lu Chen was momentarily stunned.

He didn't expect Zhu Qingqing to be so "honest" in saying it.

Old Master Feng and Aunt Yao exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Given their young lady's domineering and possessive nature, how could she possibly allow her to "share" her son-in-law with others?

There's probably more to this than meets the eye...

The two sensed something was amiss, but as servants, they knew they shouldn't ask too many questions.

"Miss Zhu, this is just a simple home-cooked meal. I'm so sorry if the hospitality is lacking."

Aunt Yao said somewhat apologetically, "If I had known that she was one of the 'one of us' recognized by the young lady, I should have prepared some better dishes."

"It's alright, the food is very good." Zhu Qingqing shook her head indifferently.

Shangguan Hong's eyes dimmed for a moment, and a sense of loss welled up in her heart.

Do I... still have a chance?

But she quickly cheered herself up: being able to watch over Lord Lu from afar and protect him is already good enough; she shouldn't ask for too much.

Qian Mengmeng and Chu Yu whispered to each other on the side.

I imagined a fierce battle in a love triangle.

In their imagination, the devastation was no less than a planetary explosion.

The scene fell silent for a moment, the atmosphere subtle.

"Brother, you're so amazing! When I grow up, I want to find a concubine too..."

That mischievous little girl, always eager for drama, once again uttered something astonishing.

"Shut up!" Lu Chen's scalp tingled, and she glared at him fiercely. "If you don't eat properly, I'll buy you ten workbooks!"

Upon hearing the threat of the "workbook," the little radish's face turned deathly pale. She immediately buried her head in her rice and dared not say another word.

However, just as everyone was about to finish eating and Lu Chen thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, that clueless guy arrived.

"Lu Chen! You bastard! Get out here right now! How dare you bully my brother? Kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistake!"

Outside the courtyard, Xiao Wuwei's extremely arrogant cursing voice rang out, as if he were the most powerful person in the world.

Beside him was an elderly man with a calm demeanor and sharp eyes.

Those were level 90 guards sent by the Xiao family to protect him, and also to prevent the other side from sending out experts who "don't know martial ethics".

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen laughed, a cold and sinister laugh.

Perfect timing! The punching bag has arrived right to my door.

"You guys eat first, I'll go take care of something."

Lu Chen put down his chopsticks, stood up, and a chilling killing intent emanated from his body.

"Young master, be careful! The opponent is level 60, and he has expert guards. Don't try to fight him head-on..."

Feng Lao reminded him with concern that he and Aunt Yao were still unaware of Lu Chen's true strength.

"Don't worry, even a level 90 person might not be a match for Lu Chen."

Zhu Qingqing said something indifferently, put down her chopsticks and bowl, and stood up.

As a guard, it was her duty.

"What?! Level 90?!"

Old Master Feng and Aunt Yao stared at each other in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The son-in-law has only been awakened for a little over a month, right?

Is this all the strength they've achieved?

This is absolutely outrageous!

Shangguan Hong and the other two women also widened their eyes, although they knew Lu Chen was very strong.

But hearing that it could fight against level 90 opponents was still beyond their imagination.

Immediately, the three women put down their bowls and chopsticks and followed them out.

Thinking there was something interesting to see, the little radishes also grabbed their rice bowls and rushed towards the door.

Old Feng and Aunt Yao had no choice but to go out and look after the children as well.

Lu Chen pushed open the courtyard gate and saw a young man standing outside. His features bore a resemblance to Xiao Batian's.

However, his aura was more restrained, and there was a faint killing intent surrounding him, indicating that his hands were stained with the blood of many demons.

It was Xiao Wuwei.

When Xiao Wuwei saw Lu Chen, he was stunned for a moment, but then his gaze was drawn to Zhu Qingqing next to Lu Chen.

This aloof and otherworldly temperament, coupled with her stunning beauty, is exactly his type.

A flicker of amazement and greed flashed in his eyes.

"Young Master, this is Lu Chen," the bodyguard beside him whispered.

Xiao Wuwei then shifted his gaze from Zhu Qingqing to Lu Chen, a disdainful sneer curling at the corner of his lips:

"Hmph! I thought you'd be a coward your whole life!"

His tone was full of sarcasm, showing that he didn't take Lu Chen seriously at all.

Immediately afterwards, he foolishly turned to Zhu Qingqing, revealing what he thought was a charming smile:

"Beautiful lady, may I have the honor of inviting you to dinner? I know the best restaurant in town..."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Hong, Qian Mengmeng, Chu Yu, and even Elder Feng and Aunt Yao were stunned.

I've seen people courting death, but I've never seen anyone so eager to die!

He flirted with another woman's wife in front of her husband.

This isn't just arrogance, it's downright incompetence!

Zhu Qingqing's gaze turned icy cold instantly. She looked at Lu Chen and gestured with her eyes: "Will you make a move, or shall I?"

She wasn't afraid of challenging the rules. With her past status as a seed and her foundation about to break through level 100, dealing with Xiao Wuwei was more than enough.

Lu Chen didn't speak, but his actions spoke volumes.

He stepped forward, and an invisible realm of life quietly unfolded.

I marked Xiao Wuwei and the level 90 guard with green runes, just in case I accidentally killed them.

"How do you want to die?"

Lu Chen's voice was icy cold, and his eyes looked as if he were looking at two dead men.

"Haha! Kid, you coward, you've finally dared to stand up!"

Xiao Wuwei laughed loudly, showing no fear whatsoever.

"Come on! Don't say I'm bullying you, I'll give you three moves!"

As he spoke, he took out a heavy shield engraved with dragon patterns and a ferocious bull-horned warhammer.

His aura surged, and various buffs flashed around him.

Although he is arrogant, he is not brainless. He will go all out against any opponent and be ready for battle.

"Okay." Lu Chen grinned, revealing a devilish smile.

The next second, a terrifying agility attribute of 250,000 burst forth!

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and Lu Chen's figure seemed to vanish from the spot in an instant.

Only Aunt Yao managed to catch a fleeting glimpse of the afterimage, and she was horrified: So fast!

"What?!"

Xiao Wuwei's pupils suddenly contracted; he had no time to react at all.

He felt a terrifying pressure coming from above, making his soul tremble!

Lu Chen had appeared directly above him without him noticing, his right fist clenched.

The fist was crackling with chilling black lightning, and the space around it seemed to be subtly distorted.

"Black Flash - Annihilation!"

Lu Chen uttered four words softly.

The terrifying power of 250,000 points was poured into this punch without reservation.

Carrying an aura of destruction that seemed to tear space apart,

It crashed down towards Xiao Wuwei below!

"Oh no! Young master, get out of the way!"

The level 90 guard's expression changed drastically; he felt a deadly threat from that punch!

Even if he went to pick it up himself, there was absolutely no chance of him surviving!

He wanted to rush to the rescue, but Lu Chen was too fast.

It was so fast that he didn't even have time to make a move!
