Chapter 1956 - 1929: Who Is This Person, Really?
"I understand."
Even though he said that, Lu Tianxing’s eyebrows were still tightly knitted together.
It wasn’t because of the reason why the Lex Family and the Fanx family had been wiped out.
For Lu Tianxing, these two families were going to be destroyed sooner or later. Whether they were destroyed now or later didn’t make much difference. What really made Lu Tianxing frown was the Anti-Lu Alliance. If he were told there was no behind-the-scenes manipulator secretly pushing all this, he wouldn’t believe it even if you beat him to death. Yet, he had no information about this hidden mastermind.
This is what’s most frightening. As the saying goes, enemies out in the open are not scary; the truly terrifying ones are the hidden serpents. With one wrong move, they can strike a deadly blow.
"Tianxing, you don’t need to overthink. There’s a saying that goes, ’Things will straighten out when the ship gets to the bridge.’ Some things you’ll naturally find out as time goes on."
Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing’s frowning face and spoke softly, "What you need to do now is focus on healing."
Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru hadn’t been with Lu Tianxing for long before he once again drifted into a hazy sleep.
He was truly exhausted. The reason he was able to kill Nelson in the Eagle Country last time was entirely by overextending himself. Before, he didn’t feel it, but the moment he relaxed, Lu Tianxing felt as if all the strength had been drained from him. So after being awake briefly, he fell back into a deep sleep.
Watching Lu Tianxing fall into a deep sleep, Bai Zhiqing took a deep breath and turned to Lin Qianru, saying, "Qianru, Tianxing will probably sleep for a while before waking up. Why don’t we take a trip to the supermarket and buy a chicken to make some soup for him to help him recover?"
"Okay!"
Lin Qianru nodded without refusing and left the room with Bai Zhiqing.
...
Meanwhile, in another direction, Jiang Liufeng stood in the garden, looking at the scenery with a complicated expression on his face.
"Sigh!"
Jiang Liufeng suddenly let out a soft sigh.
"Master, hasn’t the young master already woken up? Why are you still sighing?" Cangwu, who was following Jiang Liufeng, asked, puzzled.
Hearing Cangwu’s words, Jiang Liufeng sighed again and slowly said, "Just now, Tianxing told me that while he was in the Eagle Country, he encountered the biggest crisis of his life. It was a man in black who helped him."
"A man in black?"
Cangwu was a bit startled upon hearing this: "Master, do you mean to say this man in black is the young master?"
"I don’t know."
Jiang Liufeng let out a long sigh and said, "If we must say this person is Lu Tianzhan, that possibility isn’t out of the question. However, Lu Tianzhan practices Lu Tiankuang’s Time Three Sabers, yet the man in black used swordsmanship capable of easily killing someone in the late stage of mythical level. This makes me uncertain whether this person is Lu Tianzhan. But, if it’s not Lu Tianzhan, why did he help Tianxing? What’s his real intention?"
Hearing Jiang Liufeng’s words, Cangwu also fell into silence. In this world, there’s no love without reason, just as there’s no hate without reason. The person couldn’t have helped Lu Tianxing without a motive. Since he made a move to help Lu Tianxing, he must have hidden intentions and ulterior motives. Otherwise, he wouldn’t do something so thankless.
After a long pause, Cangwu spoke: "Master, what should we do next? Do you need me to arrange for someone to investigate?"
"There’s no need for that."
Jiang Liufeng shook his head and said, "The fact that this person could easily stop Nelson and incapacitate Shiva shows how strong he is. Conducting an investigation now would only alert him. Since he helped Tianxing this time, there will surely be a next time. As long as he appears again, he will inevitably reveal himself."
After saying that, Jiang Liufeng paused, then continued, "However, the urgent task is to send someone to investigate who leaked the information about Tianxing going to Tokyo and the Eagle Country, and who is spreading rumors in the underworld. This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated, understood?"
Cangwu nodded and said, "Yes, Master, I’ll arrange for someone to investigate."
"Hmm."
Jiang Liufeng nodded slightly and gently waved his hand, saying, "If there’s nothing else, you can rest for a bit. No need to follow me."
Cangwu hesitated slightly upon hearing Jiang Liufeng’s words, then finally nodded and turned to walk in another direction.
Watching Cangwu leave, Jiang Liufeng let out a long breath from his mouth and gazed into the distance. His eyes were filled with depth, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
...
Time flows like water, passing in an instant. Since Lu Tianxing returned to China, several days had passed. During this time, Lu Tianxing had been staying at the Eight Great Passes Villa, carefully recuperating and not leaving.
Similarly, during these days of recuperation, Angel quickly became close friends with Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru. Especially after Lin Yafei and Rose, those two enchantresses, arrived on Qin Island. When Lin Yafei, Rose, and Angel gathered together, the explosive scenes were no less than Mars colliding with Earth.
Especially after Mandala diagnosed Lu Tianxing, stating that his internal injuries had completely healed and he only needed some time to regain his strength, and his body had no more injuries, Lu Tianxing felt that his ordeal had truly begun.
Every day, these three enchantresses would come up with ways to lure him, either by wearing revealing clothes in front of him or performing various seductive and provocative actions. Yet, there was nothing he could do. Even though his injuries were healed, the exhaustion from overusing his True Qi made him powerless even if he wanted to do something.
What’s more, every time they ignited his inner desire, the women would pretend to leave with a straight face, leaving Lu Tianxing frustrated to the point of spitting blood. Damn it, were they planning to kill him with this game?
Of course, during this time, Bai Zhiqing, Angel, and Lin Qianru’s relationship progressed rapidly, and they got along very well, which secretly relieved Lu Tianxing. He was most afraid that these women would dislike each other, and then he’d end up caught in the middle, potentially becoming a punching bag.
