This attack on the mountain by Quanxing completely shattered their previous smugness at having easily gained power.
He's just one of the more capable young people.
Besides the younger generation, there are also powerful adults like Xiao Zizai, and unfathomable elders like Lu Jin and the Old Celestial Master.
This time he realized his weakness in time; otherwise, if he had gotten too cocky and then realized his weakness later, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.
Becoming stronger is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
Looking at the Nine Dragons, a refining artifact in his hand, and pondering the toy watch hidden deep in his pocket, he suddenly had the idea that such an external object could make a person stronger quickly, which was a shortcut.
“Mingfei, the seized items must be handed over. No one can guarantee that the Quanxing weapon refiners haven’t added any slow-acting toxins to harm people.” Xu Si waved to the Nine Dragons that Lu Mingfei was playing with.
"This is my Shili." Lu Mingfei stuffed the Nine Dragons into his arms, refusing to give it to Xu Si no matter what.
"Pick up my ass! You 'picked up' the Nine Dragon Sons from Yuan Tao, didn't you? This thing is Yuan Tao's famous magic weapon. You should at least find a magic weapon that hasn't been shown before!" Xu Si said unhappily.
"Tch." Lu Mingfei reluctantly handed over the incomplete Nine Dragon Sons.
"Why are two missing?"
“The Old Master and Lu Jin broke it, go ask them for it.” Lu Mingfei turned his head to the side unhappily.
"I'll reward you with a banner and five hundred yuan later."
"...?" Lu Mingfei pointed at the broken Nine Dragon Son in Xu Si's hand, "Yuan Tao spent most of his life's work on this magical artifact, and it's only worth five hundred yuan and a banner?!"
"You'd get about the same amount of money for handing in antiques, let alone a broken magical artifact?"
Lu Mingfei was speechless.
"You didn't hide any other magical artifacts, did you?" Xu Si scrutinized Lu Mingfei with eyes as sharp as knives.
"How is this possible? I just got it and you snatched it away before I even had a chance to warm it up!"
Chapter 90 Zhang Chulan Entrusts Feng Baobao
Xu Si squinted at Lu Mingfei.
He couldn't tell for a moment that someone was hiding something from him. Lu Mingfei had improved again, and improved very quickly. But just because he couldn't tell didn't mean that nothing was being hidden.
"Hmm, not bad." Xu Si nodded. "Baby has a good eye and sees things clearly. She can look at all sorts of random things."
“…” Lu Mingfei remained silent.
They saw right through me again.
But Xu Si didn't ask for the item he was carrying; instead, he pointed him in the right direction.
......
Zhang Chulan ignored Yuan Tao's curses and asked Han Dan'er for more information about Wu Gensheng. He also learned just how complicated things were decades ago, involving too many people and events, too many variables, and too much danger.
I noticed that the other person's gaze lingered on Feng Baobao for a long time.
His grandfather's memories before his death were extracted by Lü Liang of Quanxing. Yuan Tao, who was also from Quanxing, must have seen them, so it's normal for her to be curious about her.
Zhang Chulan turned to look at Feng Baobao, who was eating snacks, and a wave of emotion washed over him.
He's too weak. He won't be able to protect Bao'er in the future. What if... what if he dies in some operation? She'll have no choice but to go back to Xu Si and live her old life.
Someone has already made a move against Bao'er, and there will only be more actions targeting her in the future. The only certainty about the Quanxing is its uncertainty; it's a mixed bag, and you never know when someone might suddenly appear to target her. Not only will such an action not be of any use, but it will also drag Bao'er down.
Immortality... If this secret were revealed, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the whole world would be our enemy.
He struggles to deal with even his own peers, let alone so many old guys.
Too weak... He himself is too weak. He either needs to become stronger or drag others down with him... He saw Lu Mingfei reviewing the events at the Celestial Master's Mansion and, realizing that the other party came from "another world," he had an idea.
"Sister Bao'er." Zhang Chulan called Feng Baobao to his side.
"I remember Xu Si saying, 'You don't lie?'"
"Mm." Feng Baobao nodded.
"If I give you a pre-prepared set of lies, can you carry them out?"
“No problem.” Feng Baobao continued to stuff food into her mouth and chewed slowly.
"Sister Bao'er, you do this... and then this..."
Feng Baobao wiped her hands on her clothes and walked up to Lu Mingfei.
"You still have a magical artifact on you, right? Let me check if there's a problem with it."
"?" Lu Mingfei couldn't recall saying anything except for Yuan Tao...
"Alright." Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, he had no choice but to take out the magic artifact and let Feng Baobao take a look.
Feng Baobao held the toy watch, examined it carefully, and then sniffed it.
"No problem, there's nothing wrong with it, you can give it to Liu Yanyan now."
“…?” Lu Mingfei was even more confused. He really hadn’t said anything, so how did they know everything?
How could they have seen through even my little selfish motives? Were they that obvious?
"Waaah..."
Lu Mingfei was lifted up by Feng Baobao, who held his cheeks with both hands. She looked at the damaged parts of Lu Mingfei's body with a seemingly blank gaze, and poked them as if to confirm something.
Feng Baobao's sudden concern left Lu Mingfei somewhat at a loss, and he awkwardly scratched his head.
"Yes, you're not injured, just a bit exhausted. Just get some rest. Also, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, and I can usually help you with anything."
Lu Mingfei was immediately touched. It turned out that the people around him cared about him quite a bit. At the same time, he was even more puzzled, because Feng Baobao would never care about him like this when he was perfectly fine.
On second thought.
"Did Old Zhang tell you to say that?"
"Hey, how did you know?" Feng Baobao shrank back in surprise.
"Old Zhang! You little wall lamp, come here and explain yourself, or I'll beat you up in a minute!" Lu Mingfei roared.
Zhang Chulan walked over with an awkward smile.
"Old Lu, Brother Lu, do you have any instructions?"
Lu Mingfei pointed to Feng Baobao in front of him.
"I'm not that loser who gets teased anymore, so what are they trying to do to me now?"
"Brother Lu, you're very generous," Zhang Chulan said, cupping his hands in greeting. "Since that's the case, I won't hide it from you anymore."
He led Lu Mingfei to a secluded corner.
"Aren't you curious about why Bao'er is so strong? Aren't you curious about why Bao'er..."
"Not curious at all!" Lu Mingfei knew immediately that Zhang Chulan was about to reveal something. Judging from his tone just now, Feng Baobao's matter was definitely not simple.
Not wanting to cause trouble, he turned and left.
"Brother, dear brother, my dear brother!"
Zhang Chulan slid to his knees and knelt beside Lu Mingfei, gripping Lu Mingfei's arm tightly with both hands, refusing to let go no matter what.
"..."
This was the first time Lu Mingfei had ever seen someone kneel before him. He felt a mixture of curiosity, doubt, and displeasure.
Zhang Chulan sobbed softly, crying as she leaned on Lu Mingfei's calf and poured out her heart.
"My dear brother, your brother Chu Lan has had a hard life. I also have something to tell you, please listen to me. I beg you, after spending so much time together, I know you are a person of true feelings. The people you want to protect will be protected even at the cost of your life. There are few people in this world more loyal than you..."
Lu Mingfei couldn't stand Zhang Chulan's flattery. He would happily enjoy Zhang Chulan's compliments.
If you can talk, then talk more. Once you've flattered me enough, I'll become desensitized, and it won't work anymore.
"You say it."
“For many years after my grandfather died, no supernatural beings approached me. It was all thanks to Grandpa Xu and another person who protected me, and that person was Sister Bao’er.” Zhang Chulan stopped sobbing and said slowly.
Nothing has changed from over a decade ago to now?
Even with proper skincare, you couldn't achieve this level of results; Araki's hairline has receded significantly.
Lu Mingfei was extremely surprised.
Then Zhang Chulan started again.
"Sister Bao'er has been silently protecting me for more than ten years. She only appeared recently when Quanxing caused trouble. After I met the Xu brothers, I understood Sister Bao'er's background."
......
"However, I have already been caught up in this undeserved disaster, and it has also affected Sister Bao'er. I am afraid that if I die, there will be no one to take care of Sister Bao'er."
"So I want to ask you, if you could 'take' Bao'er away, that would be the best. Of course, I mean if I accidentally die and Xu San and Xu Si don't have the strength to protect Bao'er, then you can 'take' her away."
“Aside from having a big appetite, Bao’er has no other shortcomings. She can do anything and is good at any job. You just need to make sure she doesn’t act the same way as before.”
Zhang Chulan looked solemnly into Lu Mingfei's eyes and said.
"I feel like you're entrusting your child to someone else right now."
Lu Mingfei felt the force coming from his hand and understood how important this matter was to Zhang Chulan, which made him hesitate to agree immediately.
"Pretty much. I've seen a lot of dangerous things and know how dangerous they are. I have to think more and do more, otherwise I really don't know when I'll be played to death," Zhang Chulan said with a wry smile.
"What's your decision?"
“Hmm…” Lu Mingfei paused.
Immortality... How many people have devoted themselves to achieving this... The Three Realms and Six Paths have been ruined by these few words.
How many people are tormented by illness before they die? How many die with unfulfilled wishes and regrets? How many people cling to life and fear death...
For nearly a hundred years, Feng Baobao's appearance has not changed at all, and she can also recover automatically from injuries.
If news of such a person were made public, the bloody storm in the world of supernatural beings would surely be stirred up again.
Although he didn't know why people pursued immortality, wasn't it a painful thing to watch his loved ones die one by one and be the last one alive?
Living a painful life alone...
"Aren't you afraid I'll tell everyone?" Lu Mingfei asked doubtfully.
