"Ah?" This time, Lan Jue and Huali couldn't help but exclaim at the same time.
(
Chu Cheng nodded. "You didn't hear wrong. That woman has the Demon King's blood in her, and it's a very pure Demon King bloodline.
Because she's the daughter of the Demon King, Satan. "
Lan Jue's expression changed. "Then this is troublesome. If your grandfather finds out, won't your uncle's woman be in danger?"
Chu Cheng sighed. "Yes!
Grandpa was furious.
He wanted to kill that woman on the spot, saying she was a spy sent by Satan.
He couldn't let her leave alive.
At that time, uncle was already deeply in love, risking his life to protect that woman. For this, he didn't hesitate to fight with grandpa.
With uncle's strength, if he went all out, even grandpa wouldn't be his match. But uncle only defended passively.
In the end, when he protected that woman and escaped from the family, both of them were seriously injured. "
"Grandpa was disheartened, the whole family was in a state of panic, and could only seek refuge with the Northern Alliance military.
Half a year later, uncle suddenly came back one day. With red eyes, he questioned grandpa why he killed that woman.
Grandpa, father, and I were all shocked.
At that time, even my father suspected that it was grandpa who did it.
Grandpa didn't explain, and in a rage, he chased uncle out of the family.
After that, uncle never returned.
I didn't expect that twelve years later, I would see him here on Skyfire Avenue. "
"That's all I know. As for what actually happened, and what happened next, I don't know either.
But later, I asked grandpa, and grandpa said that he didn't send anyone to kill that woman.
He just sent people to look for them, but they couldn't find any trace of them.
Ever since uncle's incident, grandpa fell seriously ill.
He passed the position of family head to my father.
After that, he went into seclusion. "
Huali suddenly said with a strange expression, "You've become a playboy now.
Don't tell me it's because your father is afraid that you'll follow in the footsteps of your uncle's infatuation? "
Chu Cheng shrugged. "I can't rule it out. Anyway, no one in the family has ever restrained me in this aspect, and no one has ever given me too much pressure.
They just don't let me leave the Northern Alliance.
Because my family is under the protection of the Terminator, the Dark Citadel doesn't dare cause trouble.
However, they should know of my existence.
It's just that it's not easy to make a move on me.
In the past ten years, Satan has rarely appeared. I don't know if he is cultivating some kind of demonic art or has something else to do. "
Lan Jue's brows furrowed. "I didn't know the Gourmet had such an experience.
We're both sad people! "After listening to Chu Cheng's story, he couldn't help but sympathize with Chu Cheng.
Perhaps that was how the Gourmet felt about him.
Chu Cheng said, "No matter what, I have to report this matter to my family. Ah Jue, it won't affect you, right?"
Lan Jue was silent for a moment.
"Can you give me some time?
I need to ask the Gourmet. "
Chu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Before tomorrow.
Give me an answer.
But I must tell you, this concerns the legacy of our family. My father wants you to go back.
So … "
Ding ding ding! The door opened, and the Gourmet walked in, his face grim.
Chu Cheng, Huali, and Lan Jue all shot to their feet.
The Gourmet looked at Chu Cheng, his voice cold. "Tell them I won't go back. I have nothing to do with the Chu family anymore.
Don't let me see you or anyone else from the Chu family again. If I do, don't blame me for being merciless.
From now on, I am the Gourmet of Skyfire Avenue. "
With that, he turned and left. Ding ding ding. The doorbell's ringing faded away. Lan Jue and Huali turned their eyes to Chu Cheng.
Chu Cheng's face didn't change much, as if he'd expected this outcome. "I knew it would be like this.
Whatever, at least I have an explanation.
At least I know my uncle is alive. "
Lan Jue asked, "Aren't you going to explain anything to him on your grandfather's behalf?"
Chu Cheng smiled wryly. "Look at him. Does he look like he's going to listen?"
Early in the morning, Lan Jue pedaled her bicycle to the base of Tianshan Mountain. She sent a message with the Soulcaller gem and waited patiently.
Chu Cheng had gone to find Huali, apparently to watch him rehearse.
Not long after, Zhou Qianlin walked down the mountain in her school uniform. Her face was still pale, but unlike before Lan Jue left for Taihua, she was smiling. She seemed to be in a good mood.
"What makes you so happy?" Lan Jue asked with a smile.
"Take a guess," Zhou Qianlin said.
"Uh … How am I supposed to guess?
Because that guy didn't bother you? "The 'guy' he was referring to was, of course, Li Cha.
Zhou Qianlin said, "I've been on sick leave for the past few days. He didn't know when I'd be going to school, so he didn't come back after being refused a few times."
Lan Jue shrugged. "It's good that he didn't come. Saves him the trouble of dragging me through the woods again."
"What kind of forest?" Qianlin asked, confused.
Lan Jue smiled. "It's nothing. That's a man's business. As a bodyguard, I should be concerned about it. You don't have to worry about it, Miss."
Zhou Qianlin frowned. "Just call me by my name."
Lan Jue turned the bicycle around. "Come on, get on, or we'll be late."
"Okay." Zhou Qianlin sat on the back seat, her right hand naturally wrapped around Lan Jue's waist.
Lan Jue was stunned, but still got on the bicycle and headed for the school.
"Qian Lin."
"Hm?"
"You haven't been feeling well these past few days. Do you feel anything special?" Lan Jue asked.
Zhou Qianlin said, "A little. It's like there's something extra in my body. I can't really explain it."
Lan Jue said, "I'll give you a checkup later."
Zhou Qianlin was silent.
"Why aren't you talking?" Lan Jue asked.
Zhou Qianlin said calmly, "In the movies, men who talk to girls like that are bad guys. They don't have good intentions."
Lan Jue's bicycle shook a little, and Zhou Qianlin immediately hugged him tightly. "What are you doing?"
Lan Jue smiled bitterly. "Am I that kind of person?
Do you think I'll take advantage of you? "
He regretted it as soon as he said it, because he immediately remembered the first time he met Zhou Qianlin.
After a few minutes of awkward silence, Zhou Qianlin said, "Okay."
"Huh?" Lan Jue turned to look at her.
Zhou Qianlin was also looking at him. "Didn't you say you were going to give me a checkup?
I said, okay. "
Lan Jue smiled. "Come to my place after school. When the tailor saw me yesterday, she asked me when I could help you make clothes.
She likes you a lot. "
Zhou Qianlin wanted to say something, but she didn't. She just nodded.
As the number of times he picked up Zhou Qianlin increased, Lan Jue's cycling skills improved. After entering the city, the main gate of the college was in sight.
Just as they were about to reach the corner where they usually separated, a huge shadow suddenly whizzed across the main road. Because it was extremely fast, it brought with it a strong gust of wind, causing Lan Jue's bicycle to tilt.
Lan Jue hurriedly controlled the handlebars to prevent Zhou Qianlin from being thrown off. Zhou Qianlin couldn't help but exclaim.
The two of them frowned at the same time and looked at the shadow. It was a large floating car. When they looked up, it had already stopped in front of the main gate of the National Eastern University.
The body of the car was white, but the bottom part had ripples like the waves of the sea.
It looked like it was floating on the sea.
"Hailing College?" Zhou Qianlin said without thinking.
Lan Jue stopped at the corner. "How arrogant!
Driving so fast in the city, is this college always like this? "
Zhou Qianlin nodded and said, "Hailing College is one of the top five mecha colleges in the Eastern Alliance. Because it has produced many excellent mecha pilots, it has a good relationship with the military.
So it has always been a little unbridled. "
Lan Jue said, "I heard people say that this time they are here to have an exchange with our college?
They are a mecha college, what is there to exchange with our research college? "
Zhou Qianlin said, "It's mainly an exchange between mecha pilots.
It's obvious they are bullying us. "
Lan Jue said, "Luckily you are not a mecha pilot.
Go on.
Use the Spirit Caller gem to call me if you need anything. "
"Okay." Zhou Qianlin agreed and walked in the direction of the college.
Lan Jue pushed the bicycle and watched as she walked.
Hailing College's floating car was not allowed to enter the college. The door opened and students in light blue uniforms came out.
Among them were some of the older ones, obviously teachers.
National Eastern University also had people coming out to greet them. Leading them was the dean of students, Wu Chun-yi. Other than him, there were also more than 20 higher-ups of the college.
Because of their arrival, the college gate was temporarily blocked. Zhou Qianlin had to stop at the gate.
Lan Jue also pushed the bicycle and walked in the direction of the college gate. In any case, as long as no one saw that he and Zhou Qianlin came together, it was fine.
"Greetings, Director Shi!
Long time no see! "Although Wu Chun-yi was being polite, his expression was still serious.
Opposite him was an old man who looked about the same age as him, but was a bit taller. He was wearing a light blue suit and his hair was neatly combed. He extended his hand to shake Wu Chun-yi's and nodded. With a smile that didn't reach his eyes, he said, "Yes!
We haven't seen each other for a year.
I just don't know if Director Wu truly welcomes us. "
Wu Chun-yi smiled faintly. "You are."
Director Shi said, "That's good.
This time, we have made ample preparations. I hope to be able to experience the elegance of your college's teachers and students. "
Wu Chun-yi's expression changed slightly. He stepped aside and made an inviting gesture.
