Chapter 182 - 182 175_1

182: Chapter 175_1 182: Chapter 175_1 “Yan Yan, you must be hungry by now. Let’s go grab something to eat!” After leaving City Affiliated Hospital No.1, it was already past noon. I then looked over at Yan Yan. Having spent so much time with Lv Zhong, she knew that he liked to get straight to the point. She bit her lip and nodded slightly, “Mmm.” “The restaurants in this area are usually pretty crowded and noisy, and they don’t have many tables available. Let’s go grab something to eat at a café instead.” Lv Zhong smiled slightly and suggested to Yan Yan. In Yan City, neither western restaurants nor cafes are particularly authentic. You can order Chinese dishes in these places, but they’re normally more expensive than they would be in a regular restaurant. Walking alongside Lv Zhong, Yan Yan acted like a little girl who didn’t make many decisions. She knew that these kinds of places were expensive, and she hesitated before speaking awkwardly, “Bro…Brother Xiao Zhong, the food there is really expensive. Why don’t we just…just grab something cheap to eat…” “It won’t be that expensive. Besides, as a divine doctor, I earn more than enough. Hehe…” Lv Zhong chuckled, then added, “You’ve treated me to so many meals at your place. It’s about time I repay the favor.” “No…No need for that…” Yan Yan hurriedly shook her head, “You’re treating my mom, so it’s only…only natural for you to eat at our place, I…” “Enough with your stuttering, just come with me!” Lv Zhong assertively interrupted Yan Yan, and then took her hand to hail a cab. Being so assertively dragged by Lv Zhong, Yan Yan turned red with embarrassment, her heart thumping wildly. She didn’t have the heart to refuse Lv Zhong at the moment. There were several cafes nearby, but Lv Zhong didn’t particularly like any of them. Instead, he chose the Ming Dian Café on Zhengyang Road. Searᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The Ming Dian Café on Zhengyang Road was less than a ten-minute drive from Affiliated Hospital No.1. Soon, Lv Zhong and Yan Yan were led by a waiter to the second floor. In Yan City, despite there being fewer people who chose to dine in cafes compared to restaurants, there were still those who preferred to enjoy their meals in the quieter atmosphere of a Western-style restaurant or café. At this time, there weren’t many customers in the Ming Dian Café, just six or seven tables of people. Lv Zhong led Yan Yan to a table with a computer which was near a window. They ordered a few dishes and relaxed on the sofa, enjoying the air conditioning. Yan Yan, however, sat shyly with her head down. She nervously kept fiddling with the hem of her clothes, seemingly feeling a bit nervous. Watching this, Lv Zhong couldn’t help but hold back a laugh. This girl seemed to be extremely shy. Shaking his head slightly, Lv Zhong glanced at Yan Yan and then pretended to be tired, “Yan Yan, it’ll be a while before the food arrives. You can play with the computer while we’re waiting. I need to take a quick nap. Today’s been quite exhausting.” Yan Yan actually thought that Lv Zhong must really be tired, so she immediately lifted her head and said, “Brother Xiao Zhong, you should rest if you’re tired. I’ll wake you up when the food comes.” “Okay!” After responding, Lv Zhong lay down on the sofa and closed his eyes. Of course, Lv Zhong wasn’t actually going to sleep. He planned to activate the [Mother Emperor Wave Frequency], to establish contact with all the [Soul Devouring Bugs], and to gather the necessary information. The proverb says, ‘know your enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles without fear of defeat.’ Only by knowing the enemy’s actions, can Lv Zhong make corresponding arrangements. Of course, Lv Zhong was not satisfied with merely killing six people earlier, and crippling over 150 ancient martial artists from the Eastern World Family! If Dongfang Yuntian and Dongfang Changhe from the Dongfang Family don’t die, or if the affiliated families of the Dongfang Clan that directly attacked him aren’t annihilated, Lv Zhong will not be content. This time, if only he, Lv Zhong, had been targeted for assassination, he might not be so furious. However, these people didn’t play by the rules. In addition to targeting him, they had also sent people to kill his relatives. This was something that Lv Zhong absolutely couldn’t forgive. To ensure the safety of his own family, Lv Zhong had to show his brutal and domineering side to intimidate everyone. Having activated the [Mother Emperor Wave Frequency], Lv Zhong quickly gathered a set of information. This information was sent by the Soul-Devouring Bugs that had just devoured the souls of the six assassins near City No.1 High School. At this point, Lv Zhong knew that three of the muscular men were sent by an ancient martial arts family from Zhuzhou, Xiangnan Province – the Lei Family. As for the three snipers, they were international mercenaries. They had been trained since childhood overseas and were genuine killers. After devouring their soul energy, Lv Zhong found out that these snipers were actually from the Zhao family of the West River Province. But whether it was the ancient martial arts family of the Lei family in Xiangnan Province or the Zhao family controlling some foreign mercenaries, they were both subordinate families under the Dongfang Family. Lv Zhong couldn’t let the Dongfang Family get off lightly. Similarly, he can’t let off the Lei family in Zhuzhou, Xiangnan Province, and the Zhao family in West River Province. However, as of now, neither the number nor the level of the Insect Army that Lv Zhong controls is sufficient. So for the moment, Lv Zhong is planning to target the Lei family in Zhuzhou, Xiangnan Province! Anyway, Zhuzhou is not too far from Yan City, less than 150 kilometers away. After obtaining the information, Lv Zhong then reached out to the [Soul Devouring Bugs] in the capital, Tianjing. “The four great guardians of the Dongfang Clan are taking action together? Even Dongfang Wukui is going to ask for the help of a master named Wu Yunlong?” Once Lv Zhong received and analyzed the information, his face instantly grew stern. Having surveilled the Eastern World Family for such a long time, Lv Zhong had long known that there were four Innate Experts in the Dongfang Family, all of them being older figures of the family. Although the Eastern World Family was ranked second among the Eight Great Ancient Martial Arts Families, their family held the number one master among the Eight Great Families—the Dongfang Wudi. Dongfang Wudi was in the late stage of Foundation Building, while the other three people, Dongfang Wukui, Dongfang Wuqi, and Dongfang Jing, were at different stages. Dongfang Wukui was in the middle Innate Stage, while Dongfang Wuqi and Dongfang Jing were at the early Innate Stage. Truthfully speaking, although Lv Zhong was only at the early Innate Stage of cultivation, he was backed by the Insect Army. If he had the heart to engage them in surprise attacks, he would definitely not fear these four. He might even completely defeat the four Innate masters of the Dongfang family just like he did to Ming Yue Po, who was in the peak state of the Innate Realm. What truly worried Lv Zhong was that Dongfang Wukui had sought help from a certain Master Wu Yunlong. If Lv Zhong’s guess was correct, this Wu Yunlong was indeed a cultivator like him. “A cultivator? I just don’t know how strong this cultivator Dongfang Wukui has invited is!” Lv Zhong muttered to himself. Suddenly, he felt that he should make more preparations. Just as Lv Zhong was deep in thought, ten minutes swiftly passed and the dishes that Lv Zhong had ordered were served one by one. As soon as the food was served, Yan Yan indeed began to call out. “Yan Yan, thanks!” Lv Zhong opened his eyes and smiled, sending Yan Yan a greeting as he quickly picked up his chopsticks. The food in the Ming Dian Café was good, but because they added some MSG, Lv Zhong didn’t really like it. “Yan Yan, these dishes may look delicate, but compared to the dishes you cook, they fall short of your pure flavor, they are disappointing….” “Brother Xiao Chong, you’re joking. Yan’er is just a clumsy girl. My cooking skills are far inferior to these chefs. However, if Brother Xiao Chong likes it, Yan’er can cook for you during college…” Yan Yan was delighted as if she had had honey, yet she still lacked confidence, her small face turned red with shyness, she looked exceedingly beautiful. “Uh…” Lv Zhong paused, then shook his head, “Don’t bother, it would interfere with your studies.” “No…no!” Yan Yan saw that Lv Zhong did not agree and could not help feeling a little loss. She stammered, “I… I knew… you were joking. My…my cooking…is certainly not as good as…these chefs…” After speaking, Yan Yan’s beautiful eyes suddenly filled with a misty haze. “Girl, I’m worried about it interfering with your studies.” Lv Zhong was stunned, then smiled bitterly: “However, if you can manage your studies and can spare some time, during our college time, I’ll let you handle all my meals, okay?” “Really?” Yan Yan looked at Lv Zhong with joyful surprise. “Of course, it’s truer than a pearl!” Lv Zhong laughed. … After lunch, Lv Zhong was getting ready to leave with Yan Yan when he saw a “familiar” face with an ordinary appearance appear in the restaurant, smiling at him. This was a woman, Lv Zhong had met her once. However, Lv Zhong intuitively felt that she was not simple, so he didn’t hold a good impression of her. Furthermore, when Lv Zhong sent out the [Soul Devouring Bug] to monitor her, he got no useful information after a whole week. This led him to recall the bug that was surveying her. This woman was none other than “Jun Wenyan,” who had appeared at Lv Zhong’s home a few days ago with Dongfang Linglong and Zhao Ziyu. Just as Lv Zhong was thinking about all this, Jun Wenyan’s lips inadvertently curved into an elegant smile as she walked towards the direction of Lv Zhong and Yan Yan. “Little Zhong, I never expected you to eat here.” When she arrived in front of Lv Zhong, Jun Wenyan chuckled. Then, her gaze casually swept Yan Yan, her face brightening with a congenial smile; “Little Zhong, this must be your little girlfriend, right?” Being addressed this way by Jun Wenyan, Yan Yan immediately blushed, yet her lively and beautiful eyes quietly settled on Lv Zhong. Facing the rather presumptuous Jun Wenyan, Lv Zhong slightly frowned, saying, “No, she’s my classmate.” Although she knew Lv Zhong would answer this way, Yan Yan couldn’t help but feel a pang of disappointment. As if oblivious to Lv Zhong’s impatient expression, Jun Wenyan joked with a smile, “Classmate, huh? Most couples start out as classmates. Hehe, this little sister is really nice, a born beauty. Little Zhong, you must work hard.” “Who knows what will happen in the future!” Lv Zhong raised his eyebrows, thinking that he should communicate with Dongfang Linglong and Zhao Ziyu and ask them to be careful with this woman in the future. This woman, who never revealed her true face, was definitely not simple. Jun Wenyan chuckled and said, “Oh right, Little Zhong, where are you heading? Would you like me to give you a ride? The weather outside is very hot, the temperature has reached 40 degrees.” “No need, we have other things to do!” Lv Zhong turned down her offer directly and prepared to leave with Yan Yan. As they approached the stairs, Lv Zhong turned his head to look at Jun Wenyan and took a pause, saying, “Jun Wenyan, let me advise you. In the future, when dealing with others, it’s better to show your true self. Otherwise, I will think that you harbor ulterior motives.” Saying this, Lv Zhong turned and went downstairs. Left standing on the upper floor, Jun Wenyan seemed stunned. There was a bitter smile in her eyes. She reached out as if to dial a phone number, but then she gazed at Lv Zhong now walking on the street and decided against it, shaking her head subconsciously.
