Chapter 204 Appearance
"You don't have to go to such lengths just to join in the fun, do you?" Lu Mingfei scratched his head.
It's pitch black and pouring rain. This little girl, doesn't she know she's afraid that Sadako might crawl out?
Zhu Zhuqing left the palace and rushed here as soon as the battle began, but the Royal Knights at the foot of the mountain immediately placed the area under martial law.
She went around in circles and finally managed to sneak in, but the main road up the mountain was blocked, so she had to climb the steep cliffs.
Actually, she didn't know what she could do up here, but it was better than doing nothing.
"Cough, cough." Lu Mingfei coughed lightly as he descended from the sky. It was best not to scare people so late at night.
Zhu Zhuqing was climbing up the mountain when she suddenly stopped and turned around to see that familiar smile.
"What are you doing, stealing in the middle of the night?" Lu Mingfei joked, taking out an umbrella and handing it over as he spoke.
But as soon as he reached out, the damp yet warm touch sent a shiver down his spine.
What happened? This thought flashed through Lu Mingfei's mind.
Zhu Zhuqing hugged the figure in front of her tightly with all her might, her face pressed against his chest, listening to his heartbeat. She didn't speak, but suddenly started sobbing. Rainwater mixed with her tears slid down and soaked Lu Mingfei's clothes.
The girl's delicate body was surprisingly soft, like a piece of fruit candy, with a faint fragrance.
Lu Mingfei stood there, stunned. Thunder and rain raged in the sky, and rain pattered on the leaves on the ground. Suddenly, his mind went blank, and his throat became dry. He couldn't say a word.
Although he could usually sense the girl's affection and kindness towards him, he never associated this kindness with anything else. How should he deal with it?
The feeling of being a winner in life, as seen in teen idol dramas, made him inexplicably a little guilty.
Finally, at a loss, he could only open his umbrella and stand quietly. But in the dark, rain-soaked world, something did seem to be conveyed.
It was already midnight, and the brightly lit imperial court had an eerie atmosphere.
This was supposed to be a high-profile celebration dinner, but at this moment, most people had no appetite to pick up their chopsticks.
Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi drank in silence, while Sword Douluo and Poison Douluo closed their eyes to rest.
The information sent back by the scouts earlier was concealed by Emperor Xueye, and all that others knew were some worthless traces of the battle.
As for the battle that took place in the sky later, no one knows. Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi are both waiting for the final outcome.
For Emperor Xueye, the assistance of the eight Title Douluos of the Haotian Sect was undoubtedly far more important than the loss of the world's number one genius.
Ning Fengzhi secretly hoped that the Haotian Sect would suffer a loss, since the Haotian Sect was so prosperous that it had already threatened the position of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Lu Mingfei and the forces behind him could undoubtedly become a powerful tool to suppress the Haotian Sect.
Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, on the other hand, is able to navigate any situation with ease and remain invincible.
"Hehe, it's been so long and there's still no news. Lu Mingfei is definitely finished." Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and the other Shrek Academy students, who were sitting in a corner, whispered among themselves.
Unlike most of the people present who were worried, tonight was definitely a wonderful night for Shrek Academy.
They won third place in the Soul Master Competition, received a reward from the Spirit Hall, and now they've also received a reward from the Heaven Dou Empire. They've gained both fame and fortune, enough for them to squander for several years.
More importantly, Lu Mingfei, whom they disliked, had a stroke of good luck as soon as he stepped out the door.
As Tang San's teammates, they could all guess that this matter had little to do with the Spirit Hall; it was probably Tang Hao, who had escaped that day, and another Clear Sky Hammer Spirit Master who had made the move.
That day, Tang Hao's hammer strike in Wuhun City was earth-shattering and unparalleled. The four Title Douluos that Wuhun Hall had arranged in advance almost perished. With the help of another Title Douluo with the Clear Sky Hammer, how could Lu Mingfei possibly survive?
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel their appetites whetted. Even Oscar kept glancing in the direction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, preparing to make a good impression and take advantage of the situation once the banquet was over.
"It's his own fault for being so attention-seeking." Dai Mubai couldn't help but clench his fist in agreement, having already made up his mind that even if Zhu Zhuqing knelt down and begged him, he would never soften his heart.
However, just as they were filled with joy, a palace attendant outside the palace gate quickly walked up to Emperor Xueye's ear.
Both Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi, whose faces were usually calm, showed a hint of surprise. They were not surprised that Lu Mingfei was unharmed, but rather that Tang Hao and Tang Xiao had been defeated so quickly!
Moreover, the fact that Lu Mingfei dares to appear here now means that the other side has definitely won a great victory.
A deep sense of regret welled up in their hearts at the same time. If they had known this would happen, they should never have believed Tang Xiao's nonsense.
Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi quickly stood up, and at the same time, Lu Mingfei strode in from outside the hall.
In fact, he initially planned to use this incident to leave Tiandou City directly, and at most go back to the academy to say goodbye to the three education committee members, including Yu Tianheng.
But Zhu Zhuqing's appearance reminded him that although he could leave without any trouble, there might be some changes, or even some bad accidents, in the matter he had asked Davis to show leniency.
So he changed his mind. He would leave openly and honestly. With his current strength, he could leave or stay as he pleased. Why leave behind those little troubles?
When he appeared, the entire hall suddenly fell silent, followed by cheers and commotion.
The three education committee members, Yu Tianheng, Yu Feng, and others, rushed forward to check if he was injured. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that he was unharmed.
As for Shrek and the others, they stared wide-eyed as if they had seen a ghost. How could Lu Mingfei be completely unharmed when Haotian Douluo personally took action?
"Lu Mingfei, it's good that you're alright." Emperor Xueye showed a kind and loving smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It was just a few madmen from who-knows-where, but I've already dealt with them." Lu Mingfei said with a relaxed expression, as if he had only resolved a trivial matter.
He was unaware of the complex web of interests behind this matter, nor did he know whether Emperor Xueye played any role.
It's actually quite normal that no one came to help just now. Firstly, it was a battle at the Title Douluo level, and secondly, he has never explicitly joined any side. They have been very kind by remaining neutral and not causing him any trouble.
"Good, good!" Emperor Xueye felt a sense of loss. He knew that Lu Mingfei's kite had finally flown away.
The victory banquet continued, with laughter and singing echoing from the main hall, while three cries continued from a room on the top floor of the Moon Pavilion.
