An Unexpected Arrival

Europe, Paris Base City.

In the heart of such a premium base city, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, an ancient castle stood tall, its grounds sprawling wide enough to rival the entire Bright Moon District of Yangzhou City.

"Janet, my child, it's fortunate you've returned safely from the Australian Continent..." A handsome, slender man with an aristocratic bearing smiled warmly as he greeted a young woman.

This young woman had long golden hair and a tall, lithe figure with smooth lines that gave an impression of both strength and beauty. Her skin was fair as jade, crystalline and translucent, while her deep, bright eyes sparkled like the brightest stars in the night sky.

Wrapped in her combat suit, her striking waist-to-hip curves were impossible to ignore, and the teardrop mole beneath her right eye added a touch of enchanting allure.

"Dad, I'm a warrior with the strength of a War God now. Australia might be dangerous, but I can handle it easily."

Janet said to her father, then cut straight to the point: "Dad, Grandfather wants to see me. It's about Luo Feng, isn't it?"

The middle-aged man looked a bit awkward. As a father, he was qualified, but as the head of a major family, he clearly fell short—at the very least, he wasn't cold-blooded enough.

"Your grandfather probably has that in mind, but no matter what you decide, Dad supports you." The middle-aged man smiled slightly and added:

"In this extraordinary era, personal power is the foundation, and my child, I believe you have that potential!"

Janet's beautiful eyes showed a determined look, tinged with a hint of playfulness: "Of course! I'm the number one genius of the Windsor Family. One day, I'll become a Councilor just like Grandfather!"

After a brief chat between father and daughter, Janet followed him to an ancient-looking secret chamber. Inside, an old man sat cross-legged. Even with his eyes closed, he exuded an aura of authority without needing to speak.

"Janet, my child, welcome back." The old man stood up. His features bore some resemblance to Janet and her father—he was Janet's grandfather.

Though he was a Planetary-level warrior, he carried none of a warrior's bearing. Instead, he seemed like a gentleman steeped in elegance, a quality rare among the old nobles of Europe.

This was an era that revered martial prowess. Those so-called old nobles who hadn't kept up with the times since the Great Nirvana were naturally eliminated.

"Grandfather, I did like Luo Feng too, but he already has a girlfriend, and he made it clear to me..." Janet got straight to the point.

As a genius warrior—and a rare female one at that—from a wealthy aristocratic family, her pursuit of martial arts was far more steadfast and pure than most.

She had once said she didn't oppose an arranged marriage, but her partner's strength had to be at least one or two levels above her own.

Janet, who admired strength, had indeed been drawn to Luo Feng. She had even told him to his face that even if he had a girlfriend or got married, she could still take him away. But later, Luo Feng immersed himself in martial arts and made it clear his heart had no room for anyone else. With his strength skyrocketing and him becoming an Invincible War God, she finally dropped the idea.

"No, no, no, my child, you might have misunderstood your grandfather." The old man smiled faintly, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"Luo is a child equally focused on martial arts. Unless you entered his life from the very beginning, he wouldn't develop an interest in other girls."

When Luo Feng entered the Elite Training Camp, every global power had investigated him, the old man included—especially since Luo Feng broke into the top ten in his very first month.

"What I mean is, even if you can't be together, you can still maintain a friendship. Besides, you and he share the same master—you're his senior sister."

Janet sighed: "We're on completely different levels now. He's an Invincible War God, while I'm only a General-level warrior..."

"Your thinking is a bit rigid, Janet." The old man smiled gently. "Luo is a good kid. He values relationships deeply. You don't know..."

The old man recounted some things about Luo Feng.

Even the coldest person would have a favorable impression of someone good-hearted who valued bonds.

"Grandfather, you mean I should visit Luo Feng, take the chance to request a meeting with his teacher, and offer a vial of Water of Life?" Janet's gem-like eyes sparkled as she pondered.

"Yes. You and he already have a natural friendly relationship, but feelings like that grow distant without regular contact."

"From my understanding of Luo, he's definitely buying a vial of Water of Life for his teacher. And..." The old man's eyes grew deep. "Maybe you'll gain something else..."

"Sigh, still no good..." Zhou Ze shook his head, a faint smile on his lips. "At least I stumbled onto another way to use my cheat."

During his days in seclusion, Zhou Ze had tried various methods but still couldn't grasp the domain. He figured it was a lack of insight, which naturally led him to think of his cheat.

A sudden flash of inspiration made it click. Since he could split his mind to control flying knives—using two, three, or even more focuses at once—why couldn't he apply the same principle to the secondary consciousness that received insights?

"Stacking a student's comprehension onto myself should work. Time to take a spin through the hall..."

Ever since Zhou Ze's fame skyrocketed, the Yi'an District training hall was packed almost every day. On teaching days, it was so crowded it was ridiculous.

Not only that, but after Luo Feng's explosive debut at the Elite Training Camp, combined with his deliberate promotion of Zhou Ze at the time, visitors came to see Zhou Ze in an endless stream.

All sorts of moral grandstanding and coercion kept popping up. If not for Bright Moon District belonging to the Limit Hall, making it hard for outsiders to get in, he'd have been driven mad. From then on, Zhou Ze quit his job entirely and stayed home to enjoy a quiet life as a man with no title, no job, and no worries.

But teaching had its own addictive pull. Decades of being a teacher weren't so easy to kick.

So, at Wu Tong's invitation, he reluctantly agreed—but with conditions. He demanded the authority of "four nos and two directs."

Faced with this situation, housing prices in Bright Moon District skyrocketed, with people pulling every string to move in.

"Teacher, I have a senior sister who wants to visit you. I..." On the phone, Luo Feng looked a bit troubled. If Xu Xin found out, it wouldn't be easy to explain.

"Senior sister?" Zhou Ze thought for a moment and already guessed who it was. "Bring her over."

"Teacher, I'd better not come. Otherwise, Xu Xin..." Luo Feng said awkwardly.

"Heh, you little rascal..." Zhou Ze shook his head with a laugh. "Fine, let her come on her own."

Over at Luo Feng's place, Janet playfully greeted Luo Feng's parents. "Little junior brother Luo Feng, Uncle and Auntie, and Ah Hua, I'll be going now."

"Bro, are you two-timing?" Luo Hua's eyes went wide.

"What nonsense." Luo Feng smacked the back of Luo Hua's head. "Kids shouldn't talk rubbish..."

"Haha, Bro, you're totally guilty." Luo Hua laughed.

Luo Hongguo frowned slightly and said, "A-Feng, even though you're different now than before, Xu Xin never looked down on you back when..."

"Whatever, whatever..." Gong Xinlan said excitedly, "I know that martial artists are allowed to marry multiple wives."

Right now, Luo Feng and Xu Xin didn't have a clear relationship, and she had no contact with Luo Feng's family, so there wasn't much emotional attachment.

"A-Feng, Mom supports you! But you can't just abandon Xu Xin over there..."

Luo Hongguo was displeased and scolded lightly, "What kind of talk is that? You're teaching the kid wrong!"

Gong Xinlan retorted stubbornly, "This is the policy of the country and the whole world! Encouraging martial artists to marry more and have more children!"

"Then if I were to..." Before Luo Hongguo could finish his sentence, he saw the murderous look in Gong Xinlan's eyes, shuddered, and quickly changed the subject.
