Chapter 2214 - 2187: Lu Tianxing’s Schemes
Old Sir Lu looked at Lu Haoyue with a serious expression and said, "I’m already old and won’t live for many more years. I don’t want you to rely on me for everything. I can only give the Lu Family these few years. Beyond that, you have more paths to walk on your own. So, no matter what you encounter in the future, you must learn to think and not depend on others, regardless of the outcome, whether successful or not. You won’t blame anyone. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
Lu Haoyue nodded heavily, and a burning light burst forth from his eyes. He suddenly stood up from the chair and said to Old Sir Lu, "Grandpa, I’ll go down and make arrangements right away. I can assure you that no one will harm Cousin."
"Alright!"
Upon hearing Lu Haoyue’s words, Old Sir Lu nodded slightly and then waved him off, saying, "Go ahead!"
Lu Haoyue nodded, said nothing more, and directly turned and walked out of the pavilion.
Watching Lu Haoyue’s back, Old Sir Lu’s eyes flickered twice, and he said nothing more, simply picked up the teacup in front of him and leisurely drank his tea, as if the storms outside had nothing to do with him. However, as to what he thought in his heart, perhaps only Old Sir Lu knew.
...
Compared to the four-way dynamics in Beijing, Lu Tianxing, far away in Xiangjiang, seemed much more relaxed.
Today in Xiangjiang, it was a rare sunny day, and when sunlight streamed into the room through the curtains, Lu Tianxing opened his eyes.
Although the curtains were drawn in the room, even with sunlight shining in, the entire bedroom still appeared somewhat dim.
Of course, this situation was for ordinary people.
For Lu Tianxing, who had long entered the middle-stage mythical realm, he saw darkness as daylight. Let alone a little dim, even in complete darkness, if Lu Tianxing wished, he could see clearly, no different from day.
With a slight turn of his head, Lu Tianxing saw Xue Bing resting her head on his arm, her hands wrapped around his neck, her long, invitingly criminal legs casually draped across Lu Tianxing.
In her sleep, Xue Bing had lost her heroic air and seemed somewhat gently weak, curled up in Lu Tianxing’s embrace like a docile kitten.
At this moment, Xue Bing slept soundly and sweetly.
Moreover, there was a faint smile at the corner of Xue Bing’s mouth, clearly dreaming beautifully.
Listening to Xue Bing’s even breathing, feeling the impressive pressure of her chest and skin smooth as jade, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but think of last night’s madness.
Who knew what had stimulated Xue Bing, she actually engaged in a uniform temptation with him, and, unknown from where, learned seductive dances, boldly performing them right in front of him.
Xue Bing was originally a great beauty; when a great beauty wears a uniform and performs an enticing dance before you, no man can resist.
Lu Tianxing considered himself a vigorous man, so he couldn’t resist Xue Bing’s temptation and engaged in craziness all night, only falling asleep at three or four in the morning amid Xue Bing’s pleas for mercy.
Reflecting on last night’s madness, Lu Tianxing felt his breath stagnate, the flame he thought had dissipated suddenly sparked again.
Noticing changes in his body, a wry smile flickered involuntarily at the corner of Lu Tianxing’s mouth, and he quickly took a deep breath, relying on his strong willpower to suppress the rising evil fire inside him. Otherwise, if this evil fire erupted, Xue Bing might not be able to leave the bed for days.
Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, looked at the still-sleeping Xue Bing, and chose not to wake her, remaining motionless while staring at the ceiling, deep in thought.
His performance yesterday in Xiangjiang likely spread throughout the country without surprises, and his possession of the Creation Source Technique probably appeared on the desks of major forces, making him a coveted target for them.
Lu Tianxing could imagine those forces scheming to seize the cultivation technique from him, since such a method to break through realms during life-and-death crises without instability issues, allowing challenges above one’s level, would make countless eyes green with envy. A family that acquires this technique could train their younger generations, possibly turning even a third-rate family into a top-tier one.
Even though cultivating this technique demands high sacrifices during life-and-death crises, families might overlook this drawback, considering a few deaths worthwhile for family prosperity. Large families lack nothing but people; they could simply find more women and have more children. Success in cultivating a top-tier expert would justify all efforts.
Lu Tianxing’s eyes flashed with brilliance, his thoughts quickly racing.
Now he faces threats not only from the Tang Family and Yang Family but from all China’s aristocratic families. These forces might hesitate to act rashly now, but any misstep would lead to a fierce onslaught, implicating the Lu Family and Jiang Liufeng as well.
Lu Tianxing knew this clearly, yet felt no fear. As the saying goes, "A tree stands out among forest trees, and the wind must destroy it"—only applicable to ordinary people. For true strength, enduring storms and rain helps grow faster.
In modern parlance, time is running out for Lu Tianxing.
Lu Tianxing’s surroundings are like a wolfpack, with threats from every angle. Advancing could mean death, as could retreating; better to live by the saying "Boldness wins when paths collide," risking everything to break into the late stage of mythical realm quickly to handle all situations.
His journey to Beijing serves as the best opportunity.
In Beijing, while the Yang Family and Tang Family may aggressively target him, they hesitate to fully confront him due to what the Lu Family and Jiang Liufeng might hold back. Hence, Lu Tianxing decisively chooses to boldly clash with Black Shadow in Xiangjiang.
