In Lu Jingchen's living room, the setting sun slanted in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Su Muyue squatted on the ground, holding a dog teaser, and was teasing the fire unicorn that was dressed as a small mongrel.
A silvery laugh drifted through the living room, crisp and clear.
The fire unicorn wagged its tail and bounced around in sync with her movements, acting all obedient.
In his mind, however, he was furiously complaining: If it weren't for his master's orders, would this divine beast ever play this childish game with you!
Tang Xiaoxiao slumped on the sofa, snapping photos with her phone while muttering to herself.
Tang Xiaoxiao laughed and shouted:
"Muyue, look at it! Those little short legs are so cute!"
"I immediately screenshotted dozens of these emojis, they're so cute!"
Lu Jingchen sat at the tea table and slowly sipped his hot tea.
I glanced at the clock on the wall; the hour hand was pointing exactly to five o'clock.
Su Muyue put away the dog toy, stood up, patted the loose fur off her clothes, and spoke with a smile.
Su Muyue said:
"By the way, I did some research before I came."
"I remember there's a really cool restaurant around here, shall we go there for dinner tonight?"
Lu Jingchen put down his teacup and nodded slightly.
Lu Jingchen said:
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Upon hearing that they were going out, the fire unicorn immediately ran to Lu Jingchen's feet and rubbed against his trouser leg.
A tiny flame secretly escaped from his nostrils, but he quickly suppressed it, afraid of giving himself away.
His adorable appearance made Su Muyue and Tang Xiaoxiao laugh non-stop.
As evening fell, Lu Jingchen led Su Muyue and Tang Xiaoxiao to the main gate of the residential area.
The three people stood by the roadside, waiting for the ride-hailing car they had arranged to arrive.
Lu Jingchen glanced behind him seemingly casually.
From a subjective perspective, three furtive dark figures behind the distant green belt instantly shrank back.
Lu Jingchen silently complained to himself:
They followed me the whole way and were quite patient.
They're just a few clowns who can't amount to anything; they can't cause any real trouble.
His expression didn't change at all; he acted as if nothing had happened.
As soon as the ride-hailing car came to a stop, he reached out and opened the door, gesturing for the two girls to get in first.
Tang Xiaoxiao crouched down and squeezed inside, muttering complaints all the while.
Tang Xiaoxiao said:
"This weather is so hot! I'm sweating after just two minutes of standing here."
"Luckily the car arrived quickly, otherwise I would have melted."
Su Muyue got in and smiled as she left the car door open for Lu Jingchen.
Su Muyue said:
"Come on up, don't stand in the sun."
Lu Jingchen smiled, bent down and got into the car, then closed the door behind him.
He didn't show the slightest sign of anything unusual throughout, as if he hadn't realized he was being followed at all.
As night deepened, the neon lights on the streets flashed wildly, making people dizzy.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the three of them finished their dinner and slowly walked out of the restaurant.
Lu Jingchen paused slightly, raising an eyebrow.
He keenly sensed that the persistent gazes behind him hadn't yet dissipated.
Lu Jingchen stopped and spoke in a calm tone.
Lu Jingchen said:
"How about we stop shopping for now and just go home?"
"By the way, I need to deal with the rats following me."
Tang Xiaoxiao was stunned on the spot, looking around blankly.
Tang Xiaoxiao said:
"Rats? Where are the rats?"
"I'm terrified of that thing! Where is it? Where is it?"
Su Muyue's expression changed instantly, and she immediately realized that something was wrong.
She nervously looked around, lowered her voice, and moved closer to Lu Jingchen.
Su Muyue said:
"Has something happened? Is someone following us?"
Lu Jingchen patted her arm, his tone full of reassurance.
Lu Jingchen said:
"It's okay, don't panic."
"Let's head back and find a suitable place."
"Those rats will just jump out on their own."
Su Muyue bit her lip and nodded heavily.
They stayed close to Lu Jingchen, not daring to stray even a step far.
Although Tang Xiaoxiao didn't fully understand the situation, she could tell that something was wrong.
He quickly shut his mouth, gripped Su Muyue's arm tightly, and followed behind.
Instead of taking the main road home, Lu Jingchen turned around.
He led the two directly to the dark and secluded alleyway ahead.
Tang Xiaoxiao looked at the dark alley and felt a chill run down her spine.
Tang Xiaoxiao said:
"Huh? This isn't the way home?"
"Why are we walking into this dark alley? It's creepy."
Lu Jingchen didn't turn his head and spoke in a calm tone.
Lu Jingchen said:
"Find a suitable nest for these mice."
"So they won't run around everywhere and dirty other people's eyes."
Deep in the alley, only a dim streetlamp flickered and crackled.
The flickering light cast long shadows, and the surroundings were deathly silent, without a single passerby.
Lu Jingchen walked to the deepest part of the alley and stopped.
He slowly turned around, looked towards the alley entrance, and spoke in a cold voice.
Lu Jingchen said:
"They've been following us all this way, hiding for most of the day."
"Shouldn't you come out already? Aren't you tired of hiding?"
Su Muyue and Tang Xiaoxiao were stunned for a moment and followed his gaze.
The hairs on his body stood on end, and he clenched his fists nervously.
In the darkness, a chilling wind suddenly swept by.
The wind made the streetlight hiss and crackle, and the light dimmed instantly.
Xuan Chenzi stood with his hands behind his back, his face so gloomy it could drip water.
He slowly emerged from the shadows, his eyes like those of a venomous snake, fixed intently on Lu Jingchen.
Xuan Chenzi spoke in a gloomy tone, gritting his back teeth.
Xuan Chenzi said:
"It seems I underestimated you; you discovered it long ago."
"But daring to walk into this dead-end alley is practically digging your own grave, pure suicide!"
He instantly unleashed a fierce killing intent, approaching Lu Jingchen step by step.
He stepped on the cement ground, leaving shallow cracks.
Xuan Chenzi said through gritted teeth:
"How did you cripple my disciple back then?!"
"Today, I will repay you a thousandfold!"
"I won't be satisfied until I've reduced you to ashes!"
Lu Jingchen scoffed, his eyes filled with contempt.
Lu Jingchen said:
"Your disciple deserved to have his dantian destroyed."
"You asked for it, and now you blame others for being ruthless?"
"You want to avenge him? With your pathetic skills, you think you're worthy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jingchen's aura suddenly erupted.
The fluctuations of the Transformation Realm cultivation level swept through the entire alley like a whirlwind.
Su Muyue and Tang Xiaoxiao were forced to retreat repeatedly by the shockwave.
Her back pressed directly against the cold wall, Su Muyue's face filled with terror.
Su Muyue screamed frantically in her heart:
Is this Lu Jingchen's true strength?
This aura is terrifying!
Just how much skill did he have hidden all along?!
Xuan Chenzi snorted coldly, his killing intent intensifying.
Xuan Chenzi cursed:
"Arrogant brat! He truly doesn't know his own limitations!"
He stomped his foot hard, and the ground beneath his feet instantly cracked.
The terrifying pressure of the seventh level of the Transformation Realm was released without reservation.
In an instant, it overwhelmed Lu Jingchen's aura and pressed down hard on the three of them.
A fierce wind howled through the alley, and the dim streetlights were blown off their feet.
Glass shards fell down in a flurry, plunging the entire alley into semi-darkness in an instant.
Tang Xiaoxiao was so frightened that her legs went weak. She grabbed Su Muyue's arm and could barely speak.
He was shaking like a leaf, and his face was as white as paper.
Su Muyue's face was deathly pale, her lips were trembling, but she still clenched her teeth tightly.
Suppressing his fear, he took a sudden step forward.
He spread his arms and stood firmly between Lu Jingchen and Xuan Chenzi.
Su Muyue used all her strength to shout:
"Stop! My grandfather is Su Zhennan!"
Xuan Chenzi, who was about to raise his hand to strike, suddenly stopped.
A flicker of surprise and disbelief flashed across his previously fierce eyes.
He frowned, staring intently at Su Muyue, his tone full of uncertainty.
Xuan Chenzi said:
"Grandmaster Su Zhennan of the Jiangnan Sword Sect?"
The entire alley fell into a deathly silence, with only the howling wind remaining.
Xuan Chenzi's hand, which was raised in mid-air, froze in place, and he dared not move forward even an inch.
The reputation of the Jiangnan Sword Sect is not to be trifled with! If you really provoke Su Zhennan, even if he hides at the ends of the earth, he will surely die!
