Lu Mingchuan Exposed, Wants to Use the Immortal Herb Redemption Code

After the two of them tidied up, it was already noon. Having wandered around outside for half the day, Lu Mingchuan decided to return to Shrek and check on his Little Leeks.

At Shrek's gates, Dai Mubai, who could more or less sit in a wheelchair and move around now, was being pushed along by Li Yusong. When he saw the two familiar figures in the distance, a complicated mixture of fear and hatred surfaced in his eyes.

"Teacher Li, he's the one who beat me into this state that day." Dai Mubai raised his only remaining hand and pointed at Lu Mingchuan.

"Are you sure you didn't see wrong?" Li Yusong frowned slightly. If it was true, then this was almost laughable. After crippling a Shrek Academy student, he had strolled right into Shrek without a care. Not even novels dared write something like that.

"Mubai, let's go find the Principal and let him decide." Li Yusong turned Dai Mubai's wheelchair toward Flender's office.

From afar, Lu Mingchuan watched their retreating figures and chuckled.

"Looks like I've been found out."

"It's fine. I'm by your side." Huang Quan took his hand.

"Don't worry. I can still handle someone like Flender."

Lu Mingchuan clasped Huang Quan's hands in return and smiled. "Don't treat me like some useless man who only lives off you. I'm pretty strong too."

Huang Quan's earlobes reddened slightly. She turned her head to avoid his gaze and nodded.

In Flender's office, he fell into thought after listening to Li Yusong's explanation.

The situation was that the culprit who had crippled Dai Mubai had brazenly entered Shrek after the incident—and Flender had even treated him as an Honored Guest.

After sorting through the sequence of events, Flender could not help clicking his tongue. Not even a novel could come up with a plot like this. Any author who did might not be very smart, yet such an absurd thing had happened to him.

While countless thoughts raced through his mind, Dai Mubai, who had been sitting in his wheelchair like a decoration, finally spoke. "Principal, what about my revenge?"

The question gave Flender a headache. By his estimation, Lu Mingchuan definitely had a powerful force behind him. Yet Dai Mubai was his student, and he had been beaten into such a state. Flender was in a difficult position as well.

After much consideration, he ultimately decided not to provoke Lu Mingchuan. Once he told Dai Mubai his decision, seeing the latter's dejected expression left a bitter taste in his heart. Li Yusong, standing nearby, was furious too, but he remembered what Old Zhao had told him.

Even if he went seeking revenge himself, he would most likely be no match for Lu Mingchuan. The office fell silent for a time, until Dai Mubai was the first to speak again.

"Principal, my injuries haven't healed yet, so I'll be leaving first." Without waiting for Flender's reply, he pushed his own wheelchair out of the office, leaving only Flender and Li Yusong behind. They watched his back but did not see the deep resentment hidden in his eyes.

Seeing Li Yusong's anger, Flender waved him away as well. Once he was alone in the room, he dropped into his chair, and it seemed as though a few strands of white hair had appeared at his temples.

After resting in place for a moment, he got up and headed for the training field. It was not a solution to let an enemy wander around Shrek Academy unchecked.

Lu Mingchuan, who was taking a walk with Huang Quan on the training field, suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked back toward the sky. At that moment, Flender descended from above.

The complexity in Flender's eyes told him what had happened. "You must know who beat Dai Mubai into that state now, right?" Lu Mingchuan smiled teasingly.

Flender did not answer. Instead, he took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, but Shrek is not worthy of having you enroll here. Please seek a better place elsewhere."

Lu Mingchuan was somewhat surprised. He had thought Flender would come looking for revenge without another word, just like in the novels he had read in his past life. Who would have thought he would be this rational?

But on second thought, it made sense. Novels were novels; reality was reality. A genius cultivated to such a high level and wandered about so openly—who would believe there was no one backing him? Someone like Flender, seasoned by age and experience, was even less likely to be fooled.

He could not possibly fail to understand something so obvious. Realizing this, Lu Mingchuan knew he had underestimated them somewhat. Still, that was about it. Yet Flender's politeness and tact made it difficult for him to strike.

Forget it. There'll be chances later. No need to rush. With that thought, he smiled and nodded. Flender let out a sharp sigh of relief upon seeing it. If Lu Mingchuan had not agreed, today would have been truly difficult.

Just now, Flender had realized that he could not see through Huang Quan at all. This only further confirmed his judgment. There had to be a major force behind Lu Mingchuan, and Huang Quan was surely the Dao Protector that force had assigned to him.

"This way." Flender stepped aside in invitation. Lu Mingchuan walked past without any guard up. He was not worried that Flender would make a move, because Flender was a smart man. Besides, even if he did, Lu Mingchuan could react in time. And if not, Huang Quan was still there.

After leaving Shrek, the two headed out of the city. Once outside, Lu Mingchuan took out a map—the map of Sunset Forest. That was right, he had decided that his next destination would be Sunset Forest, where he would find the famous NPC Dugu Bo and use the Redemption Code.

Although Immortal Herbs were of little use to him, each one represented a bundle of Points. At minimum, he estimated he could earn fifty thousand Points. After all, they were the foundation upon which the Seven Monsters would become gods, tied to their futures.

Without the Immortal Herbs, they could still barely be considered outstanding later on, but they would be nowhere near as impressive as they were in the original work.

Having made up his mind, the two rushed toward Sunset Forest. As for why they did not ride anything, Lu Mingchuan could only say that no other means of transportation was faster than the two of them on foot.

Along the way, as he watched the scenery rush past on either side and looked at Huang Quan's lovely face, Lu Mingchuan could not help spacing out. He remembered that the first time they traveled, Huang Quan had carried him in her arms. Now, she could no longer hold him at all.

Time really flies. Suddenly, Lu Mingchuan shook his head hard. "Sigh, it wouldn't do to grow old at such a young age."

Huang Quan cast him a puzzled glance. Lu Mingchuan did not explain and merely signaled for them to continue onward. Seeing this, Huang Quan turned her head back and ignored him.

However, the journey was long. As dusk approached, the two, who had been focused on traveling, stopped. Lu Mingchuan took out the Dust Song Pot, and they climbed inside together. He then stored it in the System Space. Speaking of which, he had recently discovered a bug with the Dust Song Pot.

The System Space could only store things Lu Mingchuan had personally touched. Yet after entering the pot, the system still judged him to be in contact with the Dust Song Pot. Therefore, whenever he entered it, he could store the Dust Song Pot back in the System Space. As for how to get out—

He only needed to take the Dust Song Pot out of the System Space. Once removed, it would automatically be placed wherever it had been stored.

After a day of travel, the two returned to their room and took baths. Separately, of course. Then Lu Mingchuan skipped their usual bedtime massage and simply held Huang Quan as he fell asleep.
