Free Web NovelChapter 2340: Chapter 2342: Then Let’s Go
As Luohua’s recent peculiar events became more frequent, the group’s name came under more people’s radar.
Simply put, an individual plasma cannon obviously originating from future technology was enough to make many big bosses pay close attention.
However, those technical bigwigs indifferent to government politics noticed the miraculous predictions owned by Luohua.
The Huaxia civilization has a legacy of five thousand years, not lacking in tales of gods and monsters, but most of these legends only express a kind of humanistic concern. Few are capable of deducing technological pathways—many are just chasing shadows without solid evidence.
But Feng Jun’s deductions, to those familiar with the details, were irrefutable; they not only deduced technological pathways but essentially provided direct answers.
With this knowledge, several people suggested that maybe we should just buy out Luohua—if you all lack funds, our system still has some.
Yet those aware of Luohua’s background knew how unreliable this suggestion was, thus they all began to dissuade others. Nevertheless, many of the technical experts were socially unaware, making them difficult to sway easily. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
In the midst of this dispute, everyone knew that Luohua’s strength wasn’t merely in technological deduction; its inherent power was also formidable, even possessing many mysterious forces.
Thus, suggestions were made, and Beauty Lin’s side paid significant attention to related coordination. Upon hearing this suggestion, she immediately recalled Feng Jun’s past promise to kill a few people, although back then, for the sake of prudence, no related list was put forth.
So now, swapping the assassination quota for a protection quota shouldn’t be too problematic, right?
Unexpectedly, Beauty Lin had crafted a solid misunderstanding; Feng Jun never intended to help them kill people; what he had in mind was merely to silence people in passing.
Because Beauty Lin didn’t want Feng Jun to misunderstand, she explained the entire situation from beginning to end.
After listening, Feng Jun was somewhat humorously baffled, "I’m a bit curious why you would think killing is easier than protecting? For someone like me who talks about cause and effect, I indeed prefer protecting people, but in truth... protecting people is far more exhausting than killing."
"I understand that," Beauty Lin nodded, "For experts, indeed, it’s easier to kill; protecting is quite bothersome, not to mention more effort and a tendency to decrease success rate... Only a long-lasting thief is possible, how could there be a long-lasting guard against thieves?" ƒreewebɳovel.com
After pausing for a moment, she began to explain again, "But in this line of work, the possibility of encountering an assassination isn’t too high; more likely, you’ll face some unexpected situations. Speaking of adaptability, I reckon there’s no one better in all Huaxia than you in terms of adaptability."
"Don’t try to flatter me; I won’t buy it," Feng Jun shook his head, genuinely unconcerned with such praise as the world outside is vast.
However, he found no use in arguing about this, "Two or three weeks isn’t very long, but... could it be pushed back?"
He truly had no interest in going, but if the other party was willing to wait, once Zhang Caixin entered the Dust Shedding stage, it would be fine to let her handle it.
As the leader of Luohua, accompanying to protect a few mortals... well, it’s not a matter of losing face, rather, Luohua’s core disciples are already gradually growing up.
Feng Jun also wanted to boast a bit, showing that his people are now very competent, and there isn’t even a need for him to step in.
Unfortunately, Beauty Lin immediately shook her head, "That’s impossible; the dates for the financial forum were set a year ago, and the time is certainly fixed barring our withdrawal from participation."
Withdrawing from participation... is that possible? It’s beyond joking; the team must go despite considerable risks with no other choice!
Feng Jun felt conflicted inside and spoke with a bitter expression, "Then does this mean... only I can go?"
Zhang Caixin considers herself the second person in Luohua, and it’s genuinely not a boast; many times, she is truly that significant.
Yu Qingzhu perhaps could one day take over, but that is something for the future.
Currently, Zhang Caixin is at the pinnacle of Qi Refining Ninth Layer, and once she steps into the Dust Shedding stage, it marks the second Dust Shedding phase post-millennium on Earth. Aside from none able to rival her, the key is that Dust Shedding allows for flight.
Feng Jun believes that if they waited for Zhang Caixin to advance in Dust Shedding, this Dust Shedding mission wouldn’t require his involvement, just deploying Xiao Caixin would suffice—despite being female, she’s as ruthless as any man, and her self-preservation skills are adequate.
Nevertheless, currently, not only does he need to handle it personally, but Zhang Caixin’s protection forces also need strengthening.
Though, technically, with Sister Hong’s cultivation at Third Level of Qi Refinement, it should be enough to protect Xiao Caixin, not to mention adding Zhong Lijing at Shed Mortal Fourth Layer and Feng Wenhui and his spouse at Shed Mortal Sixth Layer.
The Guardian Boss is also keeping an eye from Alxa League—but he might not necessarily act for Zhang Caixin.
Feng Jun’s primary concern remained some activities from official circles; at that time, those security measures might not be sufficient, moreover, their visit could truly be just a casual tour, and it would be inappropriate to block randomly.
So he approached Gu Jiahui but learned she and Yang Yuxin had gone to visit relatives in the capital after returning from Chaoyang.
Fortunately, Yu Qingzhu has returned. Feng Jun spoke to her and she expressed her willingness to act as a protector for Zhang Caixin.
Feng Jun was about to leave with her, but Little Celestial Master also returned from Maoshan.
She wasn’t very interested in acting as a protector for Xiao Caixin, but when she heard he was going to take a trip to Europa, she immediately said, "Take me along."
Feng Jun asked curiously, "You’ve been to different worlds, why are you still so interested in traveling abroad?"
Tang Wenji answered seriously, "That’s exactly why. I want to hurry and travel abroad while my interest hasn’t faded. Otherwise, I might truly lose interest... besides, we can fight too, right?"
Little Celestial Master is indeed a formidable force. Among the core members of Luohua, apart from Zhang Caixin, she’s pretty much the only one. Yu Qingzhu’s cultivation level is higher, but when it comes to fighting, she’s a bit lacking. Gao Qiang might be able to compete with Little Celestial Master.
"Alright then, it’s you," Feng Jun was indifferent. Since the trip abroad involved protection, it’s inevitable to end up in situations where a male might feel awkward, so taking a female along was a good idea.
Upon reaching Chaoyang, Zhong Lijing heard they were going abroad and strongly expressed her desire to see it too. "I’ve grown up so much and haven’t been abroad yet."
Little Celestial Master was surprised upon hearing this, "I remember your family is well-off, how come you haven’t traveled abroad?"
Zhong Lijing furrowed her brows and said gloomily, "I do have a passport, but unfortunately, no one is willing to travel with me... they all think I’m unlucky."
"Then let’s go together," Little Celestial Master nodded and glanced at Feng Jun. "Why not invite Sofia along? She’s White, which might be handy in Europa."
"That’s doable," Feng Jun nodded, and took the two to the Daoist Temple in Amstan.
At this time, Australia was in summer. Feng Jun arrived with the two in the morning when the Rain Prayer Array was working.
Feng Jun instinctively scanned and was startled for a moment before arriving at Sofia’s courtyard.
Sofia, before cultivating, was a late sleeper, but now having her own business and starting cultivation, she usually wakes up early.
At this moment, she was practicing Yoga in the pavilion—real Yoga. Seeing Feng Jun enter, she casually greeted, "Wait a moment, I’ll finish this set of exercises."
"It’s alright, take your time," Feng Jun waved his hand and casually asked, "With Australia and Huaxia having tense relations, I thought your situation here wouldn’t be good, but surprisingly it’s bustling in the morning."
"The situation was indeed not very good before," Sofia finished her exercises, did a few relaxing moves, and exhaled deeply, "Recently the North experienced a mouse plague..."
"You know, the last mouse plague patient didn’t die, and many said the temple’s morning rain can suppress the plague, so people started to come again... My Daoist Temple in Australia has become quite mystical, with many coming to collect rainwater every day."
She couldn’t help but show a trace of pride, "Even when things were most tense with Huaxia, I wasn’t severely affected; there were indeed some troublemakers, but the believers drove them away."
Upon hearing this, Feng Jun couldn’t help but ask, "So now... does the temple’s incense offerings suffice for your cultivation?"
"Pretty much," Sofia replied with a smile, her pride hard to contain, "Recently, many Chinese have come. I find when the situation is tense, they prefer burning incense."
"Huaxia’s incense offerings are essentially more about exchange," Feng Jun casually replied, "That’s why we predominantly don’t accept monotheistic religions... In the end, people should rely on themselves, shouldn’t they?"
Sofia, despite having left the church, couldn’t help but ask, "Then why do they still come to burn incense?"
"For peace of mind," Feng Jun casually replied, "In fact, I highly suspect peace of mind is a kind of energy field, or rather biological fields themselves are a kind of energy that can affect causality."
Sofia was speechless as this type of discussion doesn’t have a definitive answer, so she asked, "Is there something this time?"
"Planning to take a trip to Europa..." Feng Jun explained his intention clearly.
Sofia blinked her big eyes; there were things she couldn’t say openly before, but now seemed like a chance, "Then what about the temple?"
What about the temple? Feng Jun paused before replying, "Let Chen Shengwang look after it; how did you do it before when you left?"
"But this time I’ll be gone for three weeks," Sofia spoke earnestly, "Chen Shengwang isn’t the owner of the temple, and more critically... Australians generally don’t have a favorable attitude toward Chinese now."
"Alright, stop with the excuses," Little Celestial Master replied swiftly, "Just say whether you can go, if not, there are White disciples in Maoshan."
"That’s exactly what I wanted to ask," Sofia grabbed the chance decisively, looking at Feng Jun, she asked, "Boss, you know Avril, she’s my classmate and a temple partner, now... she also wants to cultivate."
