Three months it is!
The Grand Elder stood up, and Lu Mingfei bowed his head slightly.
This elder doesn't preach, and he's also rather short. Is he here to be a joke?
Lu Mingfei doesn't discriminate against short people. For example, for Ling, being short is an advantage.
But let's skip the Grand Elder; he has a bad temper, and most importantly, he's a man—he can't be a loli in this lifetime.
"Then I'll have to offend you," Lu Mingfei said in a deep voice.
"Bring it on, let me see if you're as powerful as Qinghe claims, or if it's just an exaggeration," the elder said.
Chapter 126 Lu Mingfei: "This old man is quite handsome."
Lu Mingfei remained silent and rushed forward.
When it comes to numbers, a basic attack is the best move.
Suddenly, Lu Mingfei appeared in front of the Grand Elder and punched him in the face.
As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit someone in the face, but unfortunately, the Grand Elder is quite short, so it's unfair to him.
"boom"
At the crucial moment, the Grand Elder raised his hand and grasped Lu Mingfei's fist. The force of the punch swept past, causing Lu Mingfei's hair to fly wildly backward, revealing his white forehead.
“You’re still a bit short on strength,” the elder said calmly. “Didn’t you eat enough today? Try harder.”
The fact that the Elder could calmly withstand Lu Mingfei's basic attack shows that he could be considered a top-tier (T0) member in the hybrid race strength rankings.
“There are others.” Lu Mingfei grinned.
His golden eyes lit up instantly, and the dragon bones inside his body instantly reformed. Lu Mingfei threw another punch.
"boom"
The elder took Lu Mingfei's fist head-on and flew backward cleanly, punching a large hole in the wall of the house, sending dust flying everywhere.
Lu Mingfei: "..."
Just now, the Grand Elder, with the air of a hermit master, easily caught his punch. I thought I could catch his second punch.
Looking in the direction where the Grand Elder had flown away, Lu Mingfei hesitated whether he should try to save him.
The pile of broken bricks and stones was kicked away, and the elder crawled out in a rather disheveled state, his clean snow-white hair and fair skin covered with a layer of dust.
"Cough cough... You've got guts, kid." The elder's voice took on a touch of coquettishness before quickly returning to its aged tone.
"Elder, it was you who told me to use force." Lu Mingfei said innocently.
"I'm praising you for your courage, don't misunderstand me." The elder's eyes lit up with golden pupils, and his body was also undergoing a remodeling of dragon bones. He assumed a boxing stance: "Again! Today I'll teach you a lesson so you'll know what it means to respect your elders."
After half an hour.
"Where is my Dragon-Slaying Platform?!" The Grand Elder was furious, but Lu Mingfei beat him until he knelt on the ground, refusing to admit defeat.
"Elder, if we lose, we have to admit it. We can't cheat," Lu Mingfei said slowly, sitting on the stone bench.
I fought with the Grand Elder and my voice is now hoarse.
He wanted to pour himself a cup of tea, but there was only one cup on the stone table.
It's definitely not because I'm disgusted that my brother used it.
Lu Mingfei just happened to be no longer thirsty.
The elder got up from the ground, his face bruised and swollen from being beaten by Lu Mingfei, and he was no longer as calm and composed as he had been at the beginning.
"I didn't want to hurt you because you're a junior, but you're so unreasonable and kept chasing after me to beat me up," the elder said coldly.
"Elder, we need to reason with you. The moment I let go, you bit me like a mad dog. I had no choice but to use force to make you quiet down."
"Who are you cursing, you mad dog? How dare you insult me?" The elder trembled with rage, his face flushed red.
The Grand Elder had lived for a thousand years, and the younger generation treated him with utmost respect, not daring to utter a single word.
Those below all say that the Grand Elder is stubborn and unreasonable.
That's because the Grand Elder hadn't encountered a truly tough opponent.
There's a saying that goes, "If you're weak enough, even your angry face is adorable."
Like the soft whimpering of a kitten.
Hehe, this is fun.
Seeing the Elder jumping up and down in anger, gritting his teeth and his chest heaving, Lu Mingfei thought that the old man was quite handsome.
Wait, I don't have a fetish for older people, and I'm not from Nantong.
Lu Mingfei quickly dismissed his extraneous thoughts and said to the Grand Elder, "I have no intention of insulting you in the slightest. You are a senior, and I respect you more than anything."
But the battlefield is ruthless; Elder, you should understand this better than the younger generation.
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's expression changed slightly, and he sighed with his hands behind his back.
"Fine, I can afford to lose."
"Uh-huh."
Lu Mingfei looked up at the sky and suggested:
"Since things have come to this, let's eat first."
"Go eat if you want. I remember the third brother was going to host a banquet to welcome you back, ha." The eldest elder shook his head.
"Ok."
Lu Mingfei got up and left.
"Remember to close the door behind you," the elder said from behind him.
Lu Mingfei looked around. There were only broken walls and ruins, with only one door standing there. What was the point of closing the door?
This may be the Grand Elder's last act of defiance.
Row.
Lu Mingfei closed the door and left.
The elder plopped down on the ground, rubbing his shoulders and cheeks: "Ouch, that hurts. This kid was ruthless. Hmm, he's got some of my style, but it still hurts."
The voice was no longer hoarse and aged, but soft and cute like a baby's voice.
"If he joins us, our chances of killing Lady Nuwa will increase significantly," the Grand Elder muttered. "We don't have much time left; should we bring him in?"
On the other side, Lu Mingfei realized that he had been careless.
The place where the Grand Elder lived was so damn remote that Lu Mingfei became directionally challenged and could only try to find his way back.
As I walked, the place became increasingly unfamiliar.
until……
"Halt! Who are you? What are you doing in the forbidden area of my Zhou family?!"
A man in a blue robe blocked Lu Mingfei's path, speaking sternly.
"I just arrived today and got lost. I don't know how to get back to the front yard," Lu Mingfei quickly explained.
Upon hearing this, the man in the blue robe looked suspicious. He placed his hand on the box behind him, sized up Lu Mingfei, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Are you Lu Mingfei?"
"It's down."
"How did you end up in the back mountain? Did you get lost... Where were you before?"
"I was at the Grand Elder's place, just finished disciplining him, and then went out for dinner," Lu Mingfei said honestly.
"??" Two question marks appeared above the man's head.
He noticed some dust on Lu Mingfei's clothes and, considering his understanding of the Grand Elder, asked, "Did you fight with the Grand Elder?"
"Just a friendly exchange, nothing more." Lu Mingfei waved his hand.
"It seems you haven't caught the Grand Elder's eye," the man in the blue robe sighed.
What do you mean?
"The First Elder has a strange temper. The more she takes a liking to a disciple, the more she'll beat them to death. She's not good at expressing herself, so this is the only way she can show her concern," the man in the blue robe said.
“…Alright.” Lu Mingfei nodded, then clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute: “May I ask who you are, elder brother?”
"Second Elder of the Zhou family, have you seen the third brother?" the Second Elder asked.
"Yes, I've met him. He said he'd treat me to dinner."
"Okay, then I'll take you to him. I helped him fix his home companion puppet last time, and he still owes me a meal."
"Thank you, Second Elder."
"You've come to the best of luck by running into me. If I had encountered the Grand Elder here, he would have broken your legs and taken you in for trial for trespassing."
"Haha..." Lu Mingfei chuckled dryly.
"Second Elder, what's inside the Zhou family's forbidden area? Why can't we go in?"
"Don't ask too many questions." The Second Elder's originally amiable attitude changed instantly, turning into a cold expression.
Lu Mingfei glanced at the token at the Second Elder's waist and hummed in agreement.
He hesitated, wondering whether he should seize the token now so he could go and save Nuwa.
Chapter 127's matching mechanism is comparable to a coup d'état in Africa.
To be fair, his "sparring" with the Grand Elder was not as easy as it seemed on the surface, after all, it forced him to open his Golden Eyes and Dragon Bone.
Although he didn't go all out, if the Grand Elder were replaced in the Rongcheng Bronze Ancient City dungeon, he could still treat the Blue Dragon as a speed bump.
Unsure of the Grand Elder's strength upon wielding the Dragon-Slaying Platform, Lu Mingfei guessed at the most terrifying level and estimated that without activating the Black Sun, he probably wouldn't be able to leave the Zhou family.
Although once the Word of Power is activated, he has to stand still for a while.
Zhou Qinghe had mentioned that the Second Elder was also quite powerful, and this place was close to the alchemy matrix in the back mountain...
