When he returned to Lady Hua's courtyard in the evening, the delicious aroma of meat aroused his appetite. He unconsciously went to the kitchen, where Lu Qing was frying steak in an apron.
The graceful and beautiful figure in front of him triggered Luo Kai's thoughts. He recalled the person buried in the deepest part of his heart, his wife from his previous life. He didn't know why, but his memories of his previous life were very clear. He could even vaguely remember the scene when he was just born. However, he couldn't remember his wife's face no matter how hard he tried.
It was a kind of heart-wrenching guilt and longing. His body trembled violently, and his blood began to circulate wildly. The baleful energy in his chest also fluctuated violently. He tried his best to recall the person in the depths of his heart. The memories in his mind became clearer and clearer, but there was still a gap. Her facial features were still a blur.
Time could wear away everything, but some memories were firmly engraved in the depths of a person's soul. It was a battle between the human's free will and the laws of the universe. It might have taken a long time, or it might have taken an instant, but he finally saw through the fog and saw that person's beautiful face!
"Hey, you're back. The steak will be ready soon. It's hot in the kitchen. You can wait outside." Lu Qing didn't sense anything strange about him.
Luo Kai stared blankly at her, his thoughts gradually calming down. Suddenly, he stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her waist, burying his head in her fragrant hair, and murmured, "Thank you."
Lu Qing's body stiffened. She felt that the person behind her was filled with melancholy and sadness. This guy must have a lot of stories. A feeling of pity rose in her heart. Only when the steak in the frying pan emitted a burnt smell did she regain her senses. She struggled with a red face. "You … What are you doing?"
Luo Kai let go of her, picked up a large piece of steak from the plate, and stuffed it into his mouth without fearing that it was hot. As he chewed, he said vaguely, "Thank you for the steak, it was delicious!"
Lu Qing angrily said, "You haven't washed your hands!
You're already an adult. How can you be so unhygienic? Go wash your hands. You can only eat after you wash your hands! "
Luo Kai was a big eater. Lu Qing's speed of frying steak couldn't keep up with his eating speed. In the end, she had no choice but to steam a large pot of rice before they could sit down to eat together.
Lu Qing was so angry that she kept chattering, "You can eat so much. Who can feed you? You're so lazy all day. Why don't you find a proper job?"
Luo Kai said with a drooling face, "You take care of me. In the future, you'll be in charge of external affairs and I'll be in charge of internal affairs. Don't you know that I'm really good at cooking? I guarantee that I'll feed you until you're white and fat!"
"You … are so thick-skinned!" Lu Qing was so angry that she pinched his waist hard.
Lady Hua smiled as she looked at the two of them. She knew that Luo Kai had truly agreed to her request.
Good times would always be disrupted by disharmony. An ear-piercing sound of a horn came from outside. Luo Kai's expression changed as he put down his bowl and chopsticks.
A young man pushed open the half-closed courtyard door. When he saw Luo Kai, his expression immediately changed. He said with hatred, "Why are you here?"
Luo Kai asked back, "Why can't I be here?"
Lu Qing looked at Luo Kai proudly. Her meaning was obvious. This lady had plenty of suitors. Women were very petty. She still remembered Luo Kai's words of rejection. She stood up and said, "Young Master Su, why are you here? Do you need something from me?"
The young man was Su Wenlin. He took a deep breath and said, "Miss Lu, my family is holding a banquet today to welcome guests from the Sea Clan. I'd like to invite you to attend."
Then he respectfully said to Lady Hua, "Hello granny. My name is Su Wenlin. The perfume you made is very popular. I wonder if you'd like to attend the banquet."
Lady Hua looked at him with her turbid eyes. She shook her head and said, "This old woman's eyes are blurry. I won't be going."
"What's the Sea Clan's leader like?" Lu Qing asked curiously.
Su Wenlin's face was once again full of smiles, "Miss Lu, why don't you go and take a look?"
Lu Qing looked at Luo Kai hesitantly. In fact, she really wanted to attend the banquet. Beautiful women always liked the feeling of being surrounded by stars.
Men always had a kind of male chauvinism, and Luo Kai was no exception. However, his current state of mind was different, and he wouldn't interfere with other people's lives. After all, everyone's life philosophy was different. It was just like a relationship between a man and a woman. Both parties wanted the other party to develop in a way that they thought was good for them. However, this actually went against the individual's independent will. This was the main source of conflict in life, which required understanding and tolerance.
Luo Kai smiled and said, "If you like it, then go."
Lu Qing was so happy that her eyes turned into crescents. However, she turned to Su Wenlin and said, "Young Master Su, I won't be going. We're just ordinary friends. There's no need for you to look for me personally. If there's anything you need, you can just send someone to pass a message to me."
Su Wenlin's expression immediately turned cold. Lu Qing's meaning was very clear. She had clearly expressed her rejection. Not only did she reject the banquet, but she also rejected him. This was the first time in his life that he had suffered a crushing defeat. Not only did he lose to Su Wenlin, but he also lost to Su Wenlin in terms of talent. Now, he even lost to Su Wenlin in terms of women!
Suppressing the killing intent in his heart, he looked deeply at Luo Kai before turning to leave.
…
Lady Hua sighed and said, "This person will be a big problem. Alas, I'm afraid that this old woman's peaceful days will come to an end."
Luo Kai also frowned and didn't say anything. How could he not know that this was a problem? However, he couldn't act recklessly when he was alive. Moreover, Su Wenlin had a powerful clan and a powerful father. If he killed Su Wenlin because of such a trivial matter as fighting over a woman, he was afraid that Su Wenlin would have to flee to the ends of the world in the future.
Lu Qing still didn't understand the seriousness of the matter. Stunned, she said, "Granny, how can it be troublesome? This Young Master Su is quite easy-going and very good at governing. He was the one who found a way to settle the victims of the previous disasters. Although Luo Kai has a conflict with him, he didn't use his power to oppress him. There won't be any trouble."
Luo Kai had always been open-minded. He didn't want to worry Lu Qing, so he smiled and said, "Yes, there won't be any trouble. Even if there is trouble, it's nothing. We can just solve it."
…
Su Wenlin sat in the car. The surging killing intent made him extremely vexed. His eyes were bloodshot, and the crack on his forehead was also opening and closing slightly. Suddenly, he asked the old steward who was driving, "Mr. Zhang, how's the investigation of the person that Father asked you to investigate?"
"Young Master, that Big Beard is unable to be investigated clearly. He seems to have always been a vagrant in Longyang City and has never revealed his specific cultivation. As for that strange person, I heard from some vagrants that he is called Luo Kai. He has the same name as the fourth disciple of the Panseok Sports School's vice-headmaster, Liu Hou. It's very likely that they are the same person." Also … "The old steward naturally felt that Su Wenlin's condition wasn't quite right today and was a little hesitant.
"Also what?" Su Wenlin continued to ask.
The old steward continued, "This Luo Kai had previously saved Eldest Uncle's daughter and then Young Mistress. Speaking of which, he has done us a great favor."
Su Wenlin sneered and said, "Hehe, good lad. He specializes in saving women. Could it be that he hasn't saved men before?"
"Young Master, this person has appeared in Longyang City for less than a year, so he's definitely not taught by Liu Hou. Furthermore, he disappeared for a few months previously. His identity is very mysterious."
Su Wenlin nodded and fell silent. After a long time, when he gradually reached home, he asked again, "Mr. Zhang, do you have any way of contacting the Hunter's Guild's Dark Net?"
The old steward asked curiously, "Young Master, we have our own people. If there's anything, just instruct them directly. Why do you need to look for the Hunter's Guild?"
"I want to kill someone. Father can't know about this. Mr. Zhang, think of a way to contact them. You can name the price, but it must be an expert!"
The old steward nodded and said, "Alright, but we have to list the target's information first and then put down the bounty before bounty hunters will accept the order."
Su Wenlin's voice was bone-chilling, "It's Luo Kai. No matter how much money I have to spend, I have to kill him. Mr. Zhang, make arrangements in private as soon as possible. Don't let Father and Sister know."
The old steward hesitated for a moment before nodding.
