Both of them felt the sincerity from the other.

I appreciate your thoughtfulness, and I really like it.

"If you like it, that's fine."

"The flowers are pretty, but not as pretty as me."

"Of course, I picked this one out of the blue; it can't be prettier than you."

"Sadako, make today's meal more elaborate. Also, go downstairs and buy some candles, and take out the red wine that someone gave you and open it."

"A candlelight dinner?"

"of course."

Under the bright, flickering candlelight, Lu Mingfei, having washed away his sweat, sat down, pointed his finger, and a bottle of red wine poured its beautiful liquid into a glass, then floated to the other side to repeat the same action.

The girl across from him raised her glass, the liquid still sloshing around in it.

"cheers."

"cheers."

Chapter 260 What exactly are you?

"I'm leaving this to you, Lao Lu."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chulan suddenly realized that having someone who could always protect him was an extremely lucky and easy thing to do.

Even if the sky were to fall, he would be there to hold it up, even though he might be the one who caused the collapse.

In short, for him, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

Just like the Tang Clan operation, this time he can only act in his own name. This is a test of his connections and his conscience.

He could have heartlessly dragged a few people to Nathan Island, but he couldn't do that.

Although Lu Mingfei did not reveal whether he would go to Nathan Island this time, he could deduce the answer by using his words from another angle.

"Zhang Chulan, where are we going this time?" Lu Lin and Lu Linglong asked.

Nathan Island.

......

“Nathan Island?” Lu Mingfei asked, puzzled.

It hasn't been long since then. Just a few days ago, Zhang Chulan was going to cause trouble at the Tang Sect. After finally calming down for a few days, he's going on a business trip to Nathan Island.

“That’s right, the succession ceremony on Nathan Island has begun, and we need to receive islanders from the country.”

"Alright then," Lu Mingfei said, somewhat helplessly.

Fortunately, he knew that there were a few acquaintances involved in this operation.

And quite a lot.

"I'm going on a business trip, aren't you going to do anything for me?" Lu Mingfei lay on the sofa like a lump of mud.

She nudged Liu Yanyan, who was still engrossed in watching the drama.

"Hmm, hmm, just to show my appreciation." Liu Yanyan absentmindedly turned her face away, but her eyes didn't leave the TV. She kissed Lu Mingfei on the cheek.

Lu Mingfei turned around and grumbled, "You don't love me anymore, you've started to just brush me off."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yanyan pressed the pause button and squinted at Lu Mingfei.

He slapped Lu Mingfei hard across the buttocks.

"Little Fei, don't be angry. I have things to do. I'm studying law so I can give you a bigger share of the inheritance when it's divided in the future."

Lu Mingfei turned around reluctantly, "Master Yan is such a heartless person."

“You heartless seventh great-uncle, don’t you always take a long time to come back after you leave? And most of the time you’re going through such dangerous things. I can’t just mutter and ponder like a resentful woman and do nothing, can I? I’ll go crazy.”

These words struck a chord with Lu Mingfei.

"I...I'll pick you up after this is over."

"I don't want to go there now; your place is too backward."

"So what if I'm behind? I'm proud of being behind, I'm honored to be behind." Lu Mingfei thought about how much could have changed in just a few years, and he wouldn't feel comfortable living there if he went back.

"However, being with you means that even if I fall behind, I can catch up over time, and I can also enjoy the process with you, which is pretty good."

Liu Yanyan saw Lu Mingfei's face contorted in a grimace, his expression brimming with intense emotion.

She pulled Lu Mingfei to her side, made him lean against her, and put an arm around his neck.

"Never mind everything else for now, just watch this show with me."

"it is good."

The next day.

Lu Mingfei stopped in front of the huge cruise ship and said goodbye to the girl behind him.

Because it is nominally accepting "refugees," and NaDuTong is nominally a company, it is just a ship with a larger capacity.

It was set up partly to accommodate the many Nathan Islanders who might exist, and partly for its own safety.

"Hello, Mr. Huang." Lu Ming greeted Huang Boren, the person in charge elected in this vote, rather impolitely.

"Okay." Huang Boren thought Lu Mingfei was just a greenhorn.

Considering Lu Mingfei's special circumstances, he still explained what to do next.

He pulled Lu Mingfei aside to speak with him alone.

"This time we're taking you out to see the world, so don't be too surprised. Also, the safety of the people on board needs to be guaranteed, so we've hired a few people to keep an eye on things. Don't be alarmed when you see them."

"Is he a temporary worker?"

"How did you know?" Huang Boren was quite surprised.

"Wang Zhenqiu is greeting me," Lu Mingfei said, pointing to the long-haired man with yellow hair behind Huang Boren.

"He's not the only one I know, right? All the other temporary workers have arrived too."

“That’s right. How can we make contact with those outlaws on Nathan Island without being fully prepared? And this time it’s not safe.”

Huang Boren continued, "Are you ready? It wouldn't be bad to stay with me or Zhuge Qing and the others then."

"I'll follow your arrangements. It would be best if we could go to the island to take a look."

Lu Mingfei never expected that Zhuge Qing would actually be involved in this operation.

The cruise ship was neither too big nor too small. He easily found the kitchen on board, where Fu Rong was checking the ingredients to ensure their freshness and how to use them.

"Why are you here? Wasn't this supposed to be our mission to redeem ourselves? Did you get into trouble too?" Fu Rong asked, puzzled.

"Chairman Zhao arranged for me to come."

For the first time, Fu Rong looked at Lu Mingfei with curiosity.

"What is it about you that makes Aqing so curious about you? She's been asking me about you from Yan Yan several times."

Lu Mingfei wondered why Zhuge Qing was curious. He was also a sorcerer.

Warlocks are such a hassle.

They're all so curious, aren't they afraid of blinding themselves?

"Maybe I'm more charming. Not to mention beautiful women, even handsome men would be captivated by me," Lu Mingfei joked casually.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it." Fu Rong didn't pry. As someone whose secrets had been exposed before, she felt extremely uncomfortable with that feeling.

Lu Mingfei left the kitchen and met Zhuge Qing, who was waiting in the dining room.

Although his eyes were half-open, his handsome face gave him a unique charm, so it's understandable that he could captivate Fu Rong.

"What do you want to ask? If not, I'm leaving." Lu Mingfei didn't beat around the bush.

Zhuge Qing was surprised that Lu Mingfei would be so direct. He remained silent for a moment before finally deciding to speak.

"It's nothing, it's just that Old Wang has warned me again and again. I'm curious, but I'm also scared. What exactly are you?"

"Whether you believe it or not, I am truly a descendant of the dragon." Lu Mingfei was absolutely certain that he was not exaggerating in this statement, except that he was not a normal dragon.

"I believe you." Zhuge Qing didn't think Lu Mingfei was telling the truth; it was probably just a general answer, or a riddle that he needed to decipher.

Even after Lu Mingfei left, Zhuge Qing was still pondering the "riddle" he had left behind.

After confirming the ingredients, Fu Rong walked out of the kitchen and saw Zhuge Qing, who was in a daze. "What's wrong, Qing?"

What are your thoughts on the saying "Descendants of the Dragon"?

"Descendants of the dragon? Doesn't that refer to us Chinese? What's wrong with you?"

"Is that all?" Zhuge Qing felt there was more to it than that; there must be a more subtle meaning.

Is the other meaning of "descendants of the dragon" that the blood of mythical creatures flows in their veins, or is this what Lu Mingfei was referring to?

It seems possible.

The ship is only so big; if you wander around for a bit, you'll encounter all sorts of people, both those you're supposed to and those you're not.

Some people will even come to you without you having to look for them, like the infamous Wang Zhenqiu.

"It's rare to see Lu Mingfei joining us on a mission like this." Behind Wang Zhenqiu stood Old Meng, who had been dragged all the way here.

"We meet again, Lu Mingfei," Old Meng greeted him.

Chapter 261 Not a single word is allowed

"Long time no see." Lu Mingfei had a fairly good impression of the temporary workers.

Especially for Lao Meng, he seemed to see what he would be like after he had aged, except that he would not have Lao Meng's abilities.

And Wang Zhenqiu...

he......

Zhang Chulan said that he is a very curious person with diverse abilities, and should not be underestimated.
