Free Web NovelChapter 2053: Chapter 2026: You Think I Don’t Dare?
"In that case, just go all out and do it!"
Hearing Lu Haoyue’s words, Old Master Lu didn’t say anything more. He simply nodded in agreement, then took a deep breath and said, "But once you feel something is off, you retreat immediately, understand?"
"Yes, Grandpa, I understand."
"When are you planning to move?"
Lu Haoyue thought for a moment and said, "I’m planning to make a move tonight."
"Got it. Then go back and get ready. Remember, you must make sure of your own safety."
"Grandpa, I know. I’ll get going then."
With that, without the slightest pause, Lu Haoyue stood up and walked straight outside.
Watching Lu Haoyue’s departing back, Old Master Lu took a deep breath and muttered under his breath, "Tianxing, this time Grandpa can’t help you. Everything can only depend on yourself. But I believe you definitely won’t let me down, because you are the grandson of me, Lu Tiankuang."
As his words fell, a hint of wild arrogance flared on Old Master Lu’s body. He believed that this time Lu Tianxing would definitely be able to weather the storm.
...
As late autumn slowly shifted toward winter, the temperature across the entire north seemed to plunge to a bitterly cold level in a very short time.
For a Martial Artist, perhaps this chill was completely within a tolerable range, even something that could be ignored. But for ordinary people, this cold was bone‑piercing. When that harsh, icy wind lashed against you, it was like a pair of withered hands stroking across your face, like a knife cutting past, making your cheeks sting and involuntarily sending up a chill that seeped straight into your heart.
Back on Qin Island, Bai Zhiqing would sometimes go out at night to stroll around and enjoy the night view. But here in Beijing, Bai Zhiqing simply stayed in her warm, spring‑like room at night. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to go out, she just really couldn’t endure that bone‑chilling cold.
After all, compared with Beijing, where she used to live in Modu, the temperature here in Beijing was nothing like the mildness she had imagined.
It was just like how people from the north can never quite adapt to the damp cold of southern winters, and people from the south struggle to adapt to the dry cold of the north.
Since Bai Zhiqing wasn’t going out, Lin Yafei naturally couldn’t just leave Bai Zhiqing alone in the villa and ignore her, so she simply stayed in the villa as well to keep Bai Zhiqing company.
Lu Tianxing, on the other hand, had already disappeared to who‑knows‑where as soon as it got dark, and wasn’t in the villa. Bai Zhiqing and Lin Yafei didn’t say anything about this; a grown man always needs some time of his own.
Besides, although Lu Tianxing sometimes messed around, he always had a bottom line in his heart. There were some things he absolutely wouldn’t touch, so they really didn’t need to worry.
For the moment, only Bai Zhiqing and Lin Yafei were left in the villa. No, to be precise, you had to add Xue Bing to that. Ever since she learned where Lu Tianxing was living, after waiting for Lu Tianxing, Bai Zhiqing, and Lin Yafei to finish dinner and return to the villa, Xue Bing had appeared in front of Lu Tianxing right on cue, as if she’d been watching him the whole time, and then stayed in the villa, with no intention of leaving at all.
Right now, the three women were sitting on the sofas in the living room, chatting and laughing, faint smiles impossible to hide on their faces. Lin Yafei in particular was curled up on the sofa, her sexy pajamas completely unable to conceal her graceful curves, showing off her unique feminine charm to the fullest.
Meanwhile, Bai Zhiqing sat quietly beside her, holding a steaming cup of Longjing tea, sipping it elegantly, a faint smile at the corner of her lips, like a well‑bred young lady from a noble family.
Xue Bing was still that same careless, straightforward self, sprawled on the sofa as if she were in her own home, a lazy look on her face, and the same irrepressible smile on her lips.
Suddenly, Xue Bing looked at Bai Zhiqing drinking tea and asked, "Sister Zhiqing, I heard you ran into trouble on Qin Island some time ago. So, how did things on Qin Island turn out? Do you need my help?"
"No need, everything on Qin Island has been settled."
Bai Zhiqing gently shook her head, looked at Xue Bing, and said, "Xiao Bing, I heard from Xiao Man that you’ve been in seclusion with the Yanhuang Group recently. So, did you manage to break through your realm?"
"Sister Zhiqing, you should at least remember who I am. Of course I broke through. I’m a Heavenly Realm expert now. It won’t be long before I become the nemesis of countless criminals and their lifelong nightmare."
As she spoke, Xue Bing even swung her arm, and in her beautiful eyes it was as if little stars flickered. She seemed to already see all criminals trembling at the mere mention of her name.
Looking at Xue Bing’s expression, the smile on Bai Zhiqing’s face grew even warmer. Sometimes she felt that having a few people around her was actually quite nice; at least after Lu Tianxing left, she wouldn’t feel lonely.
"Oh right, Sister Zhiqing, there’s one more thing I came here to tell you today." Xue Bing looked at Bai Zhiqing and spoke again.
"What is it?"
Bai Zhiqing looked at Xue Bing curiously.
"It’s nothing especially important. Group Leader Sima just asked me to tell you that if you plan to go against Tang Qingyun, you’d better be careful and never let your guard down. It’s best if you go all out. Otherwise, once Tang Qingyun gets an opening, the consequences will be unimaginable." Xue Bing said with a very serious expression.
Even though she sometimes seemed carefree and heartless, she still knew how terrifying the Tang Family was. The Tang Family specialized in poisons and hidden weapons; Tang Qingyun was the Young Master of the Tang Family and a top‑tier genius of the Tang Family. When dealing with someone like that, you had to be on full alert. Otherwise, the slightest carelessness might mean total annihilation.
"You’re sure it was Sima Lingyun who sent you to tell me this?"
Just then, Lin Yafei, who hadn’t spoken all this time, suddenly opened her mouth, her gaze landing on Xue Bing, a faintly amused look on her face.
Feeling Lin Yafei’s gaze, Xue Bing’s heart gave a hard thump, but she stiffened her neck and said, "What, it was indeed Group Leader Sima who asked me to come say this. What, is there a problem? And what’s with that look in your eyes? Believe it or not, I’ll arrest you and lock you up in the Yanhuang Group."
Hearing this, Lin Yafei immediately burst into tinkling laughter and said lightly, "Little girl, locking me up in the Yanhuang Group? I’m afraid you don’t have that ability."
Hearing the faint disdain in Lin Yafei’s tone, Xue Bing immediately became a little unhappy. "Do you really think I wouldn’t dare? Believe it or not, I’ll haul you back right now."
