He changed the subject, "Show me your lightning technique, let me see how far you've come."

Lu Mingfei had no choice but to use the Golden Light Mantra to transform into Yang Five Thunders. A bright white lightning bolt shot out, followed by a deafening roar that spread outwards.

The old master smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad, stronger than Lingyu. I'm not worried about Chu Lan. Although he's not strong enough, he has the formidable Feng Baobao by his side, and with his cunning nature, his safety is not a concern. I'm only worried about your Uncle Lingyu. He's strong enough, but not smart enough! Why don't you just come back and apologize to me? Why do you have to be so stubborn and not go back to the mountain?"

The old Celestial Master looked at him with a disappointed expression, "Does he really think that Heavenly Talisman is easy to guard? If the Quanxing people weren't so well-behaved now, with his meager skills..."

Lu Mingfei realized that this was a reprimand, and that the speaker was using the excuse of talking to him to relay a message to Zhang Lingyu.

"Master, you don't need to worry. We have Junior Uncle's help. I won't watch Junior Uncle fall into despair. I'll talk to Chu Lan and the others right away. Junior Uncle's abilities are very suitable for working in the company."

The old master raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you a summer worker? Where did you get so much power? Is this how a summer worker behaves?" He pointed to the two people still following behind them.

Lu Mingfei said embarrassedly, "I showed off my skills, and Chairman Zhao appreciated me, so I switched jobs. Now I should be working under Chairman Zhao, no longer under Fourth Brother."

"Indeed, I can tell you're exceptionally intelligent."

The two of them quickly arranged Zhang Lingyu's future, and joining the company was a certainty.

After the walk, the old master returned to his room.

Lu Mingfei and his companion arrived at the main hall, where a senior martial uncle, whose name they had forgotten, hung up their prayer plaques.

"Don't worry, junior nephew. All the materials used are of the highest quality, and it was written by your uncle personally."

After thanking him, Lu Mingfei went to the cleaned-up guest room.

Fortunately, there were private guest rooms, and the two of them stayed together this time.

The old master was very kind and quirky, even joking that he was going to pay off his debts to the King of Hell.

Having such an elder is a blessing.

Over the next two days, Lu Mingfei often talked with the old master and wandered around when he went out, and spent the rest of his time getting acquainted with the people monitoring him.

Only then did I learn their names.

My stay at the Celestial Master's Mansion ended quickly.

......

Under the overpass, a handsome young man with a red dot between his eyebrows looked dejected.

"Perhaps it's because of my location, but how can I bring myself to speak in a place with so many people?"

Just as he was about to pack up and move to another location, two people walked over, heading straight for him with a clear objective, and his vigilance suddenly rose.

He has been fighting against both the Quanxing and the righteous factions recently, and he has maintained a certain level of vigilance, as these two people clearly have ulterior motives.

"Master, please take a look at my birth chart." One of them smoothly listed it out.

Zhang Lingyu immediately sensed something was wrong; this person's job seemed official, but...

He was preparing to shut down his business. Associating with Quanxing was no longer the behavior of a righteous person, so it was understandable that the company approached him.

"Are you from the company?"

"Master Lingyu is exceptionally capable. We are here to recruit Master Lingyu, as our company has been short-staffed. We hope Master Lingyu will not refuse. We offer room and board, and the salary is negotiable."

Zhang Lingyu abandoned his preparations to pack up his stall and run away, but his stomach rumbled with hunger.

"Can I...can I take a look first?"

"Please go ahead."

......

On a train heading to western Hunan.

"Isn't this Qixi Festival? What kind of gift do you want?" Lu Mingfei asked, browsing on his phone.

"A gift?" Liu Yanyan thought about it carefully, looking out the train window at the mountains and rivers rushing past.

"I want him to have four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening. I also want him to be able to go outside the box often, even though he is inside. I want him to look a little wicked, but inside he is warm, loving, and loves me."

"Do we have to cut it open again?" Lu Mingfei pulled open his clothes and looked at his chest, where he could almost see his heart beating slightly.

"It hurt a lot, and it was all bloody, blood was spurting everywhere."

Liu Yanyan lowered her head and pressed it against Lu Mingfei's chest. "Are you really planning to stab yourself? Even if I heard it, I would know what you're thinking."

"What am I thinking?" Lu Mingfei asked, puzzled.

Although having your heart and lungs ripped out won't kill you, it's very painful.

"Are you thinking about what my dad needs to bring?"

"Miracle Doctor, Miracle Doctor Liu, please teach me! This is my first time meeting my father-in-law. What if I upset him? I'll be ruined as a son-in-law!" Lu Mingfei panicked, then turned to ask the two people watching him.

"What did you two bring when you met your parents?"

"Huh? We don't even have a boyfriend, why are we going to meet each other's parents?"

"Aren't you two a couple?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Both of them shook their heads.

“You just need to dye this hair yellow, bring a fake pregnancy certificate, and arrogantly throw it in my dad’s face, saying, ‘Old Deng, your daughter is mine now, send the money,’” Liu Yanyan said.

"You've got a black heart, haven't you, wearing this cotton-padded coat?!"

Chapter 199 Going to see the father-in-law

The behavior and words described by Liu Yanyan are not at all what a normal boy should do when meeting his parents.

He looks like a lazy bum, which will definitely earn him negative points in terms of image. As for the fake ultrasound report that's supposed to be a convincing lie, it might fool people at first, but it will definitely be exposed eventually.

In the end, Lu Mingfei didn't have the courage to do this extremely offensive thing.

"This is obviously inappropriate!" Even a fool could tell that although he might feel good in front of his father-in-law, he would most likely be tied up and hung up afterward, with a copper-headed leather belt being pulled out and whipped around.

"Your dad will beat me to death, won't he?" He swallowed hard.

Even if you don't leave a good impression, you can't leave too bad one, otherwise how can you get along with them in the future?

“The situation got very tense right from the start, and I’m worried that your dad might treat you badly.”

"Hmph!" Liu Yanyan turned her head away, remained silent for a while, and then spoke.

"It's my first time introducing my boyfriend to my parents, but I know you two are definitely not going to have a good start."

"Just like if I don't like your mom, how can she just abandon you? If we end up in the same room, there are only two possibilities: I'll argue with her, or we'll have a cold war after the argument."

"You and my dad are probably similar. He passed on the ability of the Corpse-Driving lineage to me, then forced me to live like a normal person, marry an ordinary person, and then pass on the Corpse-Driving lineage ability. He doesn't let me come into contact with anything from the world of superhumans. If he finds out that you are a 'superhuman,' I'll be thanking my lucky stars if you two don't fight."

"..." Lu Mingfei felt a mixture of sympathy and strangeness when he saw Liu Yanyan talking about her father.

How should normal parents interact with their children?

Like uncles and aunts, they doted on them so much that they became as fat as little piglets, even to the point of spoiling them.

There was a thin film between him and his uncle and aunt. Although they spent time together, he couldn't develop any feelings for them. Perhaps it was because of their sharp tongues, perhaps because of their alternating roles of good cop and bad cop, or perhaps because they had humbled him.

This made him feel a vague sense of estrangement from them. The reason he didn't leave them was partly due to child support and partly due to his easygoing and laid-back attitude.

I feel sympathy for Liu Yanyan's education and aspirations.

"If a fight really breaks out, go easy on me," Liu Yanyan said, revealing her flawed and unscrupulous nature.

"Will your dad have another child?" Lu Mingfei asked worriedly.

“No, my mother has been gone for many years, and he hasn’t remarried.” She shook her head.

Lu Mingfei had a general understanding: what a middle-aged man living alone might hope for most is to be taken to the bathroom... no, it should be a reunion.

"What does he do for a living? I want to cater to his interests." Lu Mingfei was determined to make a good impression.

"When I was young, I did some business transporting corpses, but as the laws became clearer and the mountains were gradually developed, corpse transporting stopped. With my understanding of the human body's meridians, I taught myself some medical skills and became a traveling doctor to barely make a living." Liu Yanyan lowered her head, seemingly unwilling to recall her past memories.

"Will I not need to buy medicine when I get sick in the future?"

"Yes, one dose of medicine will keep you healthy forever. You've already gone to report to the King of Hell," Liu Yanyan said fiercely.

Lu Mingfei swallowed hard. "My father-in-law is terrifying. Is it too late for me to back out now?"

"What do you think?" She glared at Lu Mingfei with an unfriendly expression.

It seems that Lu Mingfei only has two choices left: either be dragged down by her or walk down on his own.

"Fine, I'll go!" Lu Mingfei was once again forced into this situation, and the thought of meeting his future father-in-law in just a few hours made his scalp tingle.

His palms were sweating with nervousness, as if a shadow called "father-in-law" was looming over the entire carriage, its dark fangs bared in the deep shadow, ready to seize him and throw him away from Liu Yanyan if he did anything that displeased him.

"Don't be so nervous, my dad is usually quite easy to talk to." Liu took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from Lu Mingfei's hands and forehead.

Actually, I'm a little scared.

"What are you afraid of! Even the temporary workers couldn't take you down together. The old master praised your exceptional talent. And you're worried about seeing my dad?" Liu Yanyan threw the sweat-soaked tissue aside.

"Mmm." Lu Mingfei's head nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

“…” She stared at Lu Mingfei for a long time without saying a word.

Silently, she took out her phone and created videos and photos of Lu Mingfei as a keepsake.

Qi Xing and Sheng Nan, who were taking notes on the side, stared at each other wide-eyed.

They didn't even need to come along this time. Not only would they not need to eat along the way, but they would also be able to witness another side of the seemingly invincible Lu Mingfei, a state of predicament.

......

The train stopped in Xicheng.

As soon as I got off the train, I saw many people saying goodbye to or reuniting with their loved ones. Tears welled up in their eyes as they forced smiles to send their loved ones off to work in other places.

Some teenagers, alone, looked back at their hometown and boarded the train with bulging woven bags on their backs.

Some students returned home with smiles as they reunited with their families, enjoying the joy of family reunion.

Standing in the bustling train station, Lu Mingfei was momentarily disoriented.

He was led out of the train station by Liu Yanyan and brought to a restaurant.

"Since we're here, let's try the local specialties." She pushed open the restaurant door and ordered two bowls of the specialty rice noodles.

Before Lu Mingfei even sat down, he could smell the aroma of chili oil, as well as the unique fragrance of cured meat and minced meat in the air, and his mouth watered uncontrollably.
