Chapter 64 Are you interested in watching me slay a dragon?
Lu Mingfei sat in the back of the car, leaning back lazily, playing with a black N96 phone in his hand.
This was a special piece of equipment that Guderian gave him before leaving, with a look of worry on his face as if his daughter was being married off to a distant place. He said it was something every student in Kassel would receive.
The phone was off. Lu Mingfei raised his gaze, following the gap in the seat to the young man in the driver's seat.
He could have used his supernatural powers to get there in one step, but in front of everyone, he couldn't just open a door and disappear again.
Fortunately, Chu Zihang is still alive.
At that time, this senior brother opened the car door and invited him to get in. With that cold and aloof demeanor, someone who didn't know better might have mistaken him for his butler.
At this moment, Chu Zihang spoke.
"Where is the address?"
"No. 86, in the villa area on Zhongshan Road," Lu Mingfei replied. This was the location of the villa where Lao Tang was hiding.
After that, the two remained silent the rest of the way.
The Maybach stopped in front of a villa in a somewhat secluded location.
This is one of the few villa areas in the small town, not far from California Sunshine—in fact, its developer is the same as California Sunshine, so much so that it also inherited California Sunshine's long and neatly trimmed lawns.
"Would you like to come in and have a seat?"
As the car stopped, Lu Mingfei extended an invitation, "This is my friend's base; I'm staying here now."
Chu Zihang's answer was as concise as ever: "Okay."
When Lu Mingfei led Chu Zihang to the villa entrance, he looked at the heavy iron gate and suddenly realized what was happening.
He doesn't have the key!
After all, he never used the main entrance. He had never even used transportation to return to this small town.
Lu Mingfei sighed and was about to go up and knock on the door when the villa's door was suddenly opened.
Like a common scene in movies, his goal was achieved before he could even take any action.
"Old Tang... um?"
A delicate face appeared before Lu Mingfei, its fair skin causing him to swallow his words. Ling stood inside the gate, her long white dress reaching her calves, which accentuated her slender figure.
She looked at Lu Mingfei, turned slightly to the side, like a maid who had been waiting for a long time, and spoke in a low but precise voice that reached their ears.
Welcome back.
"When...did you arrive?"
What kind of show is this?
Lu Mingfei was stunned. Now he felt like he was being kept by a rich young lady, or rather, the kind of person who had married into her family.
Just like Bai Shanglu, whom he saved before.
This is utterly infuriating! He knew right away it was Chip Girl who did this!
If it were just one person, it wouldn't be so bad, but Chu Zihang was right behind him.
What's the difference between this and taking a classmate home to play video games on the weekend, only to have relatives or friends come over?
Leaving is not an option, nor is staying.
Lu Mingfei turned his head to the side and glanced at Chu Zihang behind him. The latter stood straight, like a bamboo shoot emerging from the ground.
His Adam's apple bobbed, but in the end he just sighed.
"Uh... cough," Lu Mingfei said awkwardly, "I don't think things are as you think."
Chu Zihang stepped forward, his gaze sweeping between Lu Mingfei and Ling.
"Actually, you don't need to explain. I wasn't thinking anything."
Your attitude suggests you've thought of something, right?
Lu Mingfei suppressed the urge to complain and pointed to the door, "Let's go inside first, it's not good to stay at the door."
..........
In the living room, Lu Mingfei watched as Ling, who had been serving him tea and water since he sat down and then stood quietly by his side, finally broke down.
"Big sister, what do you mean by that?"
He was a little confused. Wasn't "nanny group" just a code name? When did it really become nannies?
The girl's voice remained soft, her tone cold: "This is an order."
"What kind of order is this?" Lu Mingfei felt like a whole flock of crows were flying over his head, watching him become a laughing stock.
He didn't ask about Old Tang's condition, but only briefly sensed the presence of Old Tang throughout the villa—it was still there, stable and normal.
He was too lazy to argue with this inexplicable "instruction" anymore, and simply raised his finger slightly to point behind Zero, signaling her to step back and leave the living room space to the two of them.
"That's good now," Lu Mingfei said, watching the petite figure disappear neatly around the corner of the stairs. "No one will bother us anymore, Senior Brother."
Chu Zihang remained silent for a moment. Although his gaze did not shift, Lu Mingfei felt that he was still somewhat unsatisfied.
It was as if he hadn't seen enough of his interactions with Zero...
"So... the principal already knows?" Chu Zihang asked.
He was referring to the incident where Lu Mingfei killed the dragon blood monkey.
After all, it couldn't be that the legendary dragon slayer granted such a privilege simply because the person in front of him flicked his sleeve.
"Probably." Lu Mingfei nodded, his fingertips tapping on the smooth tabletop, a light gleaming in his eyes.
That's the kind of gaze that appears in someone's eyes when they feel they've met their match.
"Has your principal always been so open-minded towards mixed-race people?" Lu Mingfei asked, his voice tinged with doubt.
It can't even be described as "enlightened." In his view, Ang Ran's attitude was almost like pampering, like the pampering Lu Mingze showed at his aunt's house.
You don't need to do anything; as long as you don't make any fundamental mistakes, he will proactively find excuses and provide a way out for you.
"This is a rare occurrence." Chu Zihang pondered for a moment, then said, "I've only been in the academy for a year, but I can tell that this principal is a man of action; he hates dragons."
The headmaster was enthusiastic about anything related to slaying dragons.
Chu Zihang recalled the introductory course on dragon family genealogy that the principal had taken before. He seemed so humorous and witty in class, but when he talked about dragons, there was always a lingering gloom in his eyes.
Clearly, he also has a past that he cannot forget.
"That's not surprising," Lu Mingfei said softly. "Senior brother, are you interested in dragons?"
He had no interest in knowing Angers' so-called past, nor did he consider whether he might fall into some kind of trap.
For him now, exchanging is the best solution.
He joined the Kassel College to contribute to the dragon-slaying effort, and in return, he received all the resources that Angers possessed.
Including intelligence.
He is now facing an extremely important juncture.
Previously, he had used his supernatural powers to glimpse a corner of the future. In a certain timeline, in a future where he had entered Kassel, they found Old Tang's house.
Of course, not the one in the American slums.
That was the Dragon King's palace, and also the place where he formed his cocoon.
A massive bronze city submerged underwater, Nibelungen, forgotten by its master. In that future, he had watched a two-person team don their diving suits and dive into the depths of that body of water, one after the other.
Then, in the ever-changing labyrinth, their life force was exhausted. Even with one person sacrificed, the last survivor was about to ascend when he was abruptly killed by a dragon servant.
"Interested in watching me slay a dragon?"
