"You..."
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Qiao Mountain instantly felt a surge of anger: "Just because of the Heavenly God? There’s no urgency in finding the whereabouts of the Heavenly God. The Holy Daughter of the Church is waiting for you in Beijing, and the Yang Family is waiting for you as well. Beijing is not Jiangnan, where the Lu Family backs you up. In Beijing, you have no support whatsoever. Do you know what your fate will be if you go to Beijing?"
Listening to these words, Lu Tianxing raised his head and looked at Bai Qiao Mountain. His expression was as solemn as could be, and he said heavily, "Grandfather, I know you care about , but I have my own unavoidable reasons. It’s precisely because the Holy Daughter of the Church is also in Beijing that I must go. You should know I killed the Holy Son of the Church while I was in New York, and this ti, the Holy Daughter of the Church ca to China to avenge the Holy Son. It’s common knowledge that if I don’t go to Beijing, I could certainly dodge the disaster, but the Holy Daughter of the Church is explicitly here for . If she dies in Beijing now, what do you think the outco will be?"
"You an, even if you don’t go to Beijing, soone will secretly make a move on the Holy Daughter and then fra you?" Bai Qiao Mountain frowned and looked at Lu Tianxing.
He’s not stupid. The Holy Daughter of the Church ca to China because of Lu Tianxing. If the Holy Daughter dies, who gains the most? The answer is obvious. On the surface, the greatest beneficiary is Lu Tianxing, because the Holy Daughter ca for him, wanting to kill him to avenge the Holy Son. If the Holy Daughter dies, Lu Tianxing is no longer in danger, so once the Holy Daughter dies, Lu Tianxing becos the biggest suspect. At that point, regardless of whether the Holy Daughter died at Lu Tianxing’s hands, he has to take the bla because the Church needs soone to vent their anger on.
Once Lu Tianxing bears this burden, his fate can only be — death.
"Grandfather, now you understand why I must go to Beijing!"
Lu Tianxing slowly spoke, "As soon as the Holy Daughter dies, the murderer will surely be thought to be . Whether or not I am the killer, I have to take the bla, and even if I refuse, I have to, because they need soone as a scapegoat, a target for the Church to vent their anger on, and I’m the best candidate for that target because of my grudge with the Church."
"If, at this mont, soone fans the flas on the sidelines, I will beco the public enemy of all martial artists in China. At that ti, not only will I be in danger, but Zhiqing, as well as Weiwei, Manman, grandfather, grandmother, you all, even including the Lu Family, everyone could be in danger. Only by going to Beijing do I have a chance to break this situation, to protect Avril from death, or at least prevent her from dying in China."
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s solemn words, Bai Qiao Mountain’s complexion flickered indecisively, finally letting out a helpless sigh: "So you’re determined to go to Beijing this ti."
"I’m determined to go." Lu Tianxing said firmly.
"Alas, since that’s the case, then I won’t stop you. I believe you must have your own plan, so I won’t say more. But I hope that you co back alive no matter what. If you dare let Zhiqing beco a widow, even if you die, I’ll yank your body out of the coffin and give you a good lesson, do you understand?" Bai Qiao Mountain said heavily, looking at Lu Tianxing.
Hearing the old man’s agreent, Lu Tianxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiling as he said, "Grandfather, don’t worry, I understand the situation. Besides, I’m not foolish; if I can’t win, I’ll definitely run. After all, our ancestors have said, ’When there’s life, there’s hope.’ Grandfather, don’t you think this makes sense?"
"You’re right, and I also hope you rember these words. A person’s failure is not frightening; the most dreadful thing is having no opportunity to make a coback. As long as you live, you have the chance to make a coback and crush all your enemies beneath your feet, do you understand?"
"I understand, Grandfather, don’t worry. I have a way to deal with them and they can’t do anything to ."
"That’s good."
Bai Qiao Mountain nodded slightly, and then, as if rembering sothing, he spoke: "By the way, do you plan to go to Beijing with Zhiqing this ti?"
Hearing this, Lu Tianxing shook his head, "I don’t plan to let Zhiqing follow to Beijing. This ti, Beijing is extrely dangerous. I can protect myself quite well, but the chances of surviving and returning with Zhiqing are too low. Besides, Zhiqing staying in Modu is far safer than being by my side."
"You’re right. Taking Zhiqing with you would inevitably hold you back; leaving Zhiqing in Modu is indeed much safer." Bai Qiao Mountain gently nodded.
"Grandfather, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head out for now. Later, Zhiqing and I will go out to buy so groceries. I’ll cook, and then you and I can have a few drinks."
"Alright."
Bai Qiao Mountain nodded his head.
Without saying anything further, Lu Tianxing turned and walked outside.
"Wait." Bai Qiao Mountain suddenly called out to Lu Tianxing.
"Grandpa, do you have anything else to discuss?" Lu Tianxing stopped in his tracks, looked at Bai Qiao Mountain with curiosity, and asked.
"Your grandma went out with old friends to dance in the square. When she cos back, don’t ntion this matter to her. She’s not in good health. Just tell her you’re going on a business trip for a while. Also, remind Zhiqing not to let it slip, understand?"
"I understand, Grandpa. I’ll be heading out now."
Saying that, Lu Tianxing already walked out of the study.
Watching Lu Tianxing’s departing figure, Bai Qiao Mountain took a hard puff of his cigarette, the smoke streaming from his nostrils. His brows furrowed deeply, looking extrely serious. After a while, he relaxed and chuckled self-deprecatingly, "What am I worried about? It’s not like Tianxing is an idiot. If he dares to go to Beijing, he must have his ace up his sleeve. Besides, the Lu Family isn’t to be trifled with. Lu Tiankuang wouldn’t just stand by and watch his own grandson take risks. He’ll definitely protect Tianxing."
At this point, the seriousness and anxiety on Bai Qiao Mountain’s face vanished completely. He couldn’t believe that Old Master Lu wouldn’t know about Lu Tianxing’s intention to go to Beijing. Since he knew, Old Master Lu definitely wouldn’t let Lu Tianxing face danger on his own. There must be so contingency plan in place, so what was there to worry about?
After coming out of the study, Lu Tianxing found the entire living room already empty. He was slightly puzzled for a mont, then imdiately turned and headed upstairs. Just as he reached the stairs, a voice as lodious as an oriole’s whistle ca from nearby.
Bai Weiwei stood behind him, shouting, "Brother-in-law, where are you going! Manman said she’s looking for you about sothing, hurry up and co over."
At this mont, Bai Weiwei was dressed very fashionably, wearing a loose T-shirt knotted at the waist, revealing an exquisite belly button, and denim shorts that couldn’t hide her enchanting figure, irresistibly drawing one’s gaze to her slender, beautiful legs.
Hearing Bai Weiwei’s words, Lu Tianxing was slightly taken aback, "What does Manman want with ?"
"I don’t know. She just received a phone call and then looked grave as she asked to wait here for you, saying she has sothing important to tell you."
"I understand, let’s go over then!"
Lu Tianxing nodded, followed Bai Weiwei, and walked into Bai Weiwei’s bedroom.
Just entering the bedroom, Lu Tianxing saw Mandala sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a fruit-thed laptop on her lap, her face bearing a trace of seriousness as she stared at the computer screen, looking particularly grave.
"Manman, what’s up? What happened that you had Weiwei specially wait for at the stairway?"
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Mandala took a deep breath and said, "Brother, I just received a call from Big Milk Cow. The situation in Beijing has been deteriorating. The Arican Superpower Team and the Holy Mountain have sent people to China, and it’s highly likely they’re all coming for you."
Saying this, Mandala tapped lightly on the laptop with her slender fingers and spoke again, "In addition, Japan’s Shankou Family seems to be making significant moves recently, sending many people to China. But we can’t find out exactly where, nor whether they’re coming for you."
Hearing Mandala’s words, Lu Tianxing’s eyes instantly narrowed, a sharp glint of cold light flashed by, carrying a hint of bloodthirsty killing intent. They ca, they all ca. Better that they all co so he could wipe them out entirely and kill them all without a trace.
Bai Weiwei stood by, listening to Mandala’s words, her beautiful eyes blinking with a hint of worry on her face. Although she didn’t know what this all ant, she knew that Lu Tianxing’s trip to Beijing would surely be perilous.
Despite her worry, Bai Weiwei didn’t speak up and remained quietly by Lu Tianxing’s side.
"Manman, how reliable is this information?" Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and asked in a low voice.
"It’s generally reliable."
Mandala took a deep breath and said, "This information was passed on by Big Milk Cow, it should be true. I just logged into the Netherworld rcenary Corps’ website and confird with the intelligence team there. It’s about ninety percent certain that the mbers of the Superman Team and the Holy Mountain are coming for you. As for the Shankou Family mbers, it’s still uncertain why they’re coming. After all, Japan and China have a historical grudge, with people often entering China for various reasons. Their exact purpose can’t be traced."
PS: I’m really speechless, what on earth is this weather? From June to early July, it rained non-stop, then these past few days, it’s been unbearably hot, thirty-five or thirty-six degrees every day. Are they trying to wear people out to death?
