Chu Tian returned to the virtual cabin half an hour ago.
At the foot of Dragon Gate Peak, where the Ma family's small world was located.
Four figures were anxiously looking around.
These four were Ma Deju, Gao Kai, Zhao Lei, and Jing Kaiyu.
The time was eight o'clock in the morning.
Last night, they received a message from Luo Yi Yi in the Heavenly Dao World.
So, they calculated Luo Yi Yi's arrival time.
They left the small world beforehand and went to the foot of the mountain to wait.
After all, there was still a person who was unconscious and needed a lot of manpower to carry him up the mountain.
"Why aren't they here yet? Something might have happened," Zhao Lei said anxiously, pacing back and forth.
"They're here... they're here..."
Just as Zhao Lei finished speaking, a GL8 drove in from a distance.
The car was speeding, clearly the other party had also spotted the four of them.
It drove straight towards them and finally stopped in front of them with a screech of brakes.
The driver's door opened, and out stepped the person Chu Tian had been longing for... Luo Yi Yi!
After driving all night, her delicate face looked a little tired.
She had departed from the capital in the evening.
At night, she entered the Heavenly Dao World for a few minutes and contacted Ma Deju and the others.
Then came the long journey, and she arrived here after not sleeping for a night.
"Sister Yi Yi..." Gao Kai stepped forward.
"Brother Kai, you... you all came!" Yi Yi greeted them.
"Yes... let's hurry up the mountain!"
For some reason, Gao Kai, a former special forces soldier... a king of soldiers, felt a bit uneasy at this moment.
"Okay, this is my mother!"
The rear door of the driver's seat opened, and a woman who looked somewhat like Luo Yi Yi got out.
If Luo Yi Yi hadn't introduced her, everyone would have thought she was her elder sister.
She looked only a few years older than Luo Yi Yi.
"Uh..." The four grown men were momentarily speechless.
"Just call me Sister Long!" she said with a gentle smile.
"Hello... Sister Long!"
To ease the awkwardness, the four of them quickly stepped forward.
They saw that the rear seat of the car had been temporarily converted into a bed.
Covered with thick quilts, one person was lying there.
Presumably, this was Luo Qinghao, the patriarch of the Luo family.
And also Luo Yi Yi's father, Chu Tian's prospective father-in-law.
Gao Kai, Zhao Lei, and Jin Kaiyu entered the car first.
They prepared to carry Luo Qinghao out.
Ma Deju was the last to enter the car.
As soon as he entered, he heard snoring.
He thought: Weren't they told he was unconscious? Why is he snoring?
After distinguishing, he realized that the snoring was coming from the co-pilot's seat.
He stuck his head out and was immediately enraged.
"Luo Yi Cheng, I'll smack you to death..."
*Slap...* He delivered a resounding slap.
"Ah..."
With a scream, Luo Yi Cheng's sleeping figure was slapped out of the open car window by Ma Deju.
"Who dares to hit me? My elder brother is Ma Deju, and my big brother is Third Master Chu. Believe it or not, I'll kill you?"
Luo Yi Cheng's startled body rolled on the ground, he got up, covered his face, and roared.
But... there was no reply. Luo Luo simply gave him a disgusted look.
A moment later, Ma Deju and the other three carried Luo Qinghao out of the car.
Only then did Luo Yi Cheng understand the situation.
His previously arrogant demeanor immediately deflated.
He knew... this slap was probably in vain.
...
"Heh heh... are they all here?"
At the peak of Dragon Gate Peak, at the entrance to the Ma family's small world.
A figure appeared here, looking down from the mountain top.
In that direction was where Luo Yi Yi got out of the car.
This person was none other than Luo Qingyu, the one Luo Yi Yi was avoiding.
Little did he know, Luo Qingyu had been tracking her since Kyoto.
The news Luo Yi Cheng brought was also leaked by him deliberately.
He rushed to the Luo family's small world with the people arranged by Luo Yi Cheng.
And then, near the Taihang Mountains where the Luo family's small world was located, he eliminated the followers.
Leaving their GPS there was also intentional.
The purpose was to lure away Luo Lingfeng.
Then he rushed back to Kyoto to monitor Luo Yi Yi.
All of this was to find Chu Tian.
In the message he left for Luo Yi Cheng, he had appeared to be deranged...
His sole obsession was to see Chu Tian dead.
To see everyone around Chu Tian die.
"Why didn't that kid Chu Tian come out?"
When he was on the mountaintop, holding a telescope, he confirmed the identity of the person below.
He didn't find Chu Tian, so he muttered to himself.
His eyes even revealed a bloodthirsty gleam.
He glanced at the entrance to the Ma family's small world, flashed his body, and hid.
...
In the sky, a wisp of cloud drifted by inadvertently.
A few inconspicuous small insects floated down.
Near where Luo Qinghao was hiding, they drilled into the cracks of the rocks.
...
"Brother Kai, what's wrong?"
Among the people going up the mountain, Zhao Lei looked at Gao Kai, who had been frowning.
"I feel... something's not right..."
As soon as he spoke, Zhao Lei and Jin Kaiyu immediately tensed up.
Gao Kai was their former captain. Countless times during missions, it was his phrase: "Something's not right" that saved their lives.
At this moment, hearing such words had become their instinctive reaction.
The next moment, Jing Kaiyu whispered, "Brother... are you sure? This is within the Dragon Country! Not where we were on missions abroad..."
"I'm also puzzled, which is why I haven't said anything!" Gao Kai replied in a low voice.
"Why do you think Luo Luo came here?" Zhao Lei suddenly said.
The two looked at him. Zhao Lei continued, "If she came to find Chu Tian, she wouldn't have brought her parents, would she?"
Luo Luo had contacted them in the Heavenly Dao World last night.
She hadn't said why she was coming here.
At this point, it did seem a bit strange.
The three of them immediately raised their vigilance to the highest level.
Along the way, Ma Deju volunteered to carry the stretcher.
Luo Yi Cheng was unluckily dragged along by him to do manual labor.
Gao Kai and the other two were free, forming a triangle, moving around and remaining vigilant.
Luo Luo naturally saw this scene, nodded to them, indicating her understanding.
All the way to the mountain top, at the entrance to the small world, nothing happened.
But Gao Kai's frowning brow did not relax at all.
Instead, the sense of crisis grew deeper.
Upon reaching here, Zhao Lei took over from Ma Deju.
The latter, with his hands waving, performed hand seals, which were the commands to open the portal to the small world!
*Buzz...*
A ripple of fluctuation came, and Ma Deju indicated that they could enter.
Zhao Lei led the way, carrying the stretcher, and was the first to step in.
Following him was Luo Yi Cheng, who was also carrying the stretcher.
Then came Luo Luo's mother, Long Ruoxi.
After that were Luo Luo and Jing Kaiyu.
Only Gao Kai and Ma Deju remained outside.
Gao Kai looked around.
He gave a self-deprecating smile, perhaps it had been too long since he had fought.
Had his senses gone awry?
It seemed he was really getting old... and timid!
He stepped into the small world.
Ma Deju followed closely behind, immediately turned and performed hand seals, preparing to close the entrance.
At this moment, the sense of crisis in Gao Kai's heart not only did not disappear.
Instead, it suddenly exploded.
"Get out of the way..."
Gao Kai was standing next to Ma Deju.
Abruptly, he violently shoved Ma Deju with his shoulder.
*Whoosh...*
A cold light shot into the entrance of the small world.
*Thwack...*
The cold light penetrated Gao Kai's chest.
Immediately, a figure rushed into this Ma family's small world.
