Chapter 527: Chapter 526: Preventing the Restoration of the Passage
“Let’s be real, if this world were devoid of Spiritual Energy, then the sudden knocking sound would indeed be quite frightening.”
After all, Lu Zixun and Lin Siyin’s apartment is on the thirteenth floor.
The Ice and Fire Domain instantly activated, and the Night Evil Sword began to circle Lu Zixun as he approached the window, where he saw a shadowy figure.
“Ding—Gratitude Value from Jie San +18000 detected.”
This name gave Lu Zixun an exceedingly familiar feeling.
If he remembered correctly, this person should be one of Gu Beihan’s men.
Suppressing the urge in his heart to stab this guy to death, Lu Zixun asked, “What’s up?”
The shadowy figure of Jie San pointed at the window lock, gesturing for Lu Zixun to let his shadowy figure in.
After considering that this person posed no threat to himself, Lu Zixun unlocked the window and allowed the shadowy figure to enter.
“Lord Xun, hello.”
Entering the room, the shadowy figure gradually solidified, and Jie San appeared in front of Lu Zixun.
Seeing this scene, Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow.
So this Jie San seems to be a Shadow Element Spiritual Ability User who can enter the Shadow World, too. Better keep an eye on the things inside the apartment.
“No need for pleasantries, just get straight to the point.”
Waving his hand, Lu Zixun didn’t entertain the thought of treating Jie San as a guest.
“Lord Xun, Mr. Gu would like to see you to discuss matters concerning the Elder Council.”
Jie San, undeterred by Lu Zixun’s attitude, continued with his head lowered and in a very respectful tone.
Mr. Gu wishes to see me?
Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes. This Guo Beihan was not someone to take lightly—who knows if this was a trap?
Seeing that Lu Zixun didn’t speak for a long time and wore a look of caution, Jie San, somewhat helplessly, continued, “Perhaps Lord Xun is not very familiar with the Elder Council. Mr. Gu wants me to inform you of something—that the Elder Council is so eager to consolidate the power of Human Gathering Places because they want to prevent the restoration of the passageways.”
“Ha?”
Lu Zixun was taken aback for a moment.
This meant Gu Beihan apparently knew quite a bit.
After thinking it over, Lu Zixun decided it might be worth checking out.
Of course, Gu Beihan could not be the one to decide the location.
If he walked into the door and ran into Gomora…well, that wouldn’t be too much of a problem either.
The Sky-splitting Gem had already cooled down, so even if he encountered Gomora, Lu Zixun could instantly activate the Sky-splitting Gem.
If Gomora’s strength was only at the I-Level, Lu Zixun could also use Time Stop and might be able to kill Gomora directly.
Lu Zixun pondered for a moment, “Name a place, I’ll be there the day after tomorrow.”
“Lord Xun is decisive. The place…let’s meet at the Mo Ye Cafe in Zone 3.”
With a slight smile, Jie San slipped back into the Shadow World, “Mr. Gu said if Lord Xun agreed, I should inform Lord Xun of something…”
“Be cautious of Yang Guohong.”
As Jie San completely vanished into the Shadow World, Lu Zixun withdrew his Spiritual Energy and fell into deep thought.
What did Gu Beihan mean by this?
…
At the wedding, Lu Zixun naturally appeared as Lu Yanzu.
Since it was a small, private wedding, Li Dazhu had only invited close friends and relatives.
However, the height difference between the newlyweds was…let’s say more noticeable in person than in the photos.
Without looking down, Li Dazhu wouldn’t see Shen Yue at all in his field of vision.
Nevertheless, witnessing the sweet look in both their eyes, Lu Zixun shook his head, realizing he was still somewhat conventional.
When Shen Yue’s father handed her over to Li Dazhu, Lu Zixun was somewhat moved and couldn’t help but glance at Lin Siyin beside him.
After the battle for succession, the entire Ouyang Family entered a state of ‘closure,’ impenetrable even to Shadows seeking to investigate.
It seemed that there would be no news about Ouyang Yin for the short term.
Lu Zixun sighed silently, feeling somewhat frustrated.
He always felt a bit suffocated by this unresolved issue.
When the master of ceremonies finished the vows, the corner of Lu Zixun’s mouth twitched.
Like holding a doll, Li Dazhu lifted Shen Yue in front of him and kissed her passionately, oblivious to the world.
“In the future, I can’t date anyone too tall…”
Wang Qing, dumbfounded, expressed his inner thought.
With his height of only 1.6 meters, dating a boyfriend like Li Dazhu, who stood 1.9 meters, would probably look the same during the wedding as Shen Yue did now.
After the wedding, while walking back to the apartment with Lin Siyin, Lu Zixun could clearly sense that Lin Siyin was preoccupied with other thoughts.
“Siyin, what are you thinking about?”
Bathed in moonlight, Lu Zixun asked.
“It feels quite magical; I still see myself as a child, yet I’ve already reached the age where I’m attending others’ weddings.”
Muttering, Lin Siyin cupped her face, looking like a displeased baby.
Seeing this, Lu Zixun found Lin Siyin’s demeanor utterly adorable.
He couldn’t help but suggest, “How about it, Lin Siyin of three years old, time is still early—shall we go to the amusement park?”
“No.”
Lin Siyin folded her arms and said, “A three-year-old child usually gets a nice meal before going to the amusement park!”
“Ha ha ha.”
Catching the hint in Lin Siyin’s words, Lu Zixun couldn’t help but laugh, taking her hand and saying, “Alright then, what would the little one like to eat? Let’s get some food first, and then we’ll head to the amusement park.”
…
In the private room on the third floor of the Mo Ye Cafe.
Gu Beihan stood with Jie Yi and Jie Er behind him, waiting for Lu Zixun to arrive.
But Lu Zixun was never one to ‘dawdle’ and arrived promptly on time.
“Please order me a caramel milk tea, thank you.”
Lu Zixun spoke to a spot on the wall.
The shadow disappeared and returned shortly after.
“It’s a pleasure, Lord Xun, to finally meet you after all the spiritual exchanges.”
Setting down his newspaper, Gu Beihan smiled at Lu Zixun.
“That’s true.”
Taking a glance at the newspaper, Lu Zixun’s beard quivered slightly, “Does Mr. Gu get his information through newspapers?”
“Of course not.”
Shaking his hand, Gu Beihan sighed, “I just have a personal preference for newspapers—the feeling of controlling information in one’s hands.”
“Oh? There’s an art to that, I see. I’ve learned something new.”
After an exchange with hidden meanings, Gu Beihan looked at Lu Zixun with a smile, “Lord Xun, I wonder if you were satisfied with the information Jie San gave you the other day?”
“Satisfactory indeed, but the implications were a bit deep. I hope Mr. Gu can clarify a bit.”
Lu Zixun said softly, his eyes narrowing, “For example, explaining that Zhenfei’s current power extends only to a single sector.”
