"Major General Ning, we haven't yet determined whether Baerjia's attack on you was his own private action or an order from the Old Gods Society."
The captain closed the file in his hand and said in a deep voice, "If it's the latter, the assassination attempt against you will most likely continue!"
"I see."
Ning Chuan nodded casually, his expression calm, showing no sign of worry.
"For your safety's sake, why don't you leave Qingshan City? I'll escort you directly to Galaxy University."
Bai Xiuxiu looked at Ning Chuan and asked.
Galaxy University is very safe.
The mentors on campus are all at least Knight, and Divine General are not uncommon.
"No rush."
Ning Chuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I 'Uncle Lu's house for the next few days."
"OK."
Lu Zhan spoke calmly.
Seeing this, Bai Xiuxiu thought for a moment and agreed.
With Titled Knight in charge, even if the Old Gods Society sends people, they won't be able to cause any trouble.
Before leaving, Bai Xiuxiu called Ning Chuan back, pulled him aside, and whispered, "I heard from the Great Ancestor that he gave him a 'God-Slaying King Token."
As Titled Knight, Lu Zhan possessed keen senses and naturally heard it clearly, causing his pupils to suddenly contract.
Clearly, he had heard of the God-Slaying King Token.
Moreover, the God-Slaying King Token must be extremely precious, otherwise Lu Zhan wouldn't have shown such surprise.
"Right."
Ning Chuan nodded in agreement, then asked curiously, "Is there a problem?"
"There's no problem, it's just..." Bai Xiuxiu glanced at Ning Chuan and cautioned, "You must be careful when using the God-Slaying King Token."
"Of course, I'm not saying you shouldn't use it. If you're really in mortal danger, you should definitely crush it immediately!"
Bai Xiuxiu was just worried that Ning Chuan wouldn't use it recklessly.
She specifically emphasized that the God-Slaying King Token was extremely valuable!
However, Bai Xiuxiu didn't forget to remind you, saying, "No matter how valuable the God-Slaying King Token, it's still an inanimate object. The Great Ancestor gave it to you to save your life."
"I see."
Ning Chuan smiled slightly and said, "Crushing it to summon Bai Qi Heavenly King will definitely make it extremely precious. In Federation with 80 billion people, there are only a few Heavenly King. I will take this seriously!"
No, you've misunderstood.
At this moment, Lu Zhan spoke up. He looked at Ning Chuan and said seriously, "I've heard people say that among all the Heavenly King in the entire Federation, only the ancestor of the Bai family is capable of crafting artifacts similar to the God-Slaying King Token!"
No other Heavenly King could do that!
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan was taken aback.
Bai Xiuxiu nodded, her gaze falling on Ning Chuan, and said, "The Great Ancestor really values you!"
As far as I know, there is only one piece in the family at present.
Several elders wanted it, but none of them succeeded.
In fact, several Heavenly King in the past personally came to request a piece for outstanding members of their clan, but all were refused.
Lu Zhan exclaimed with admiration, " The God-Slaying King Token incredibly powerful. Once activated, even in an independent world within prehistoric ruins, the Bai family's patriarch could sense it and arrive in a short time!"
As he spoke, Lu Zhan paused, then added, "It wasn't easy for the Bai family's ancestor to forge the God-Slaying King Token; it required sacrificing one's life!"
"Moreover, this isn't an ordinary price; in over a thousand years of history, there have never been ten God-Slaying King Token!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan's smile vanished, and his expression turned solemn.
Previously, he thought the value of the God-Slaying King Token was only relative to him.
For powerhouses like Bai Qi, who are at the Heavenly King level, this might be something they could easily refine.
But now it seems that was clearly a mistake.
" Instructor Bai, Uncle Lu, I understand."
Ning Chuan's gaze turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "I only have one God-Slaying King Token, I will treat it with utmost care."
Seeing this, Bai Xiuxiu became worried and advised, "The life force that the Great Ancestor consumed in refining the God-Slaying King Token can be mostly recovered through a long period of recuperation."
Overall, it's not that serious.
Even if it truly meant harming lives, the Great Ancestor couldn't have forged nearly ten God-Slaying King Token.
If you feel your life is in danger, you must use it!
Compared to Ning Chuan's misuse of power, Bai Xiuxiu would rather see Ning Chuan lose his life.
"Yeah, don't worry, I still value my life."
Ning Chuan smiled.
The topic of the God-Slaying King Token then came to an end.
Next, Ning Chuan didn't rush to leave. He inquired about some matters concerning the Old Gods Society, then bid farewell to Bai Xiuxiu and left the building with Lu Zhan.
Outside, it was broad daylight.
A bright orange sun is struggling to rise above the horizon.
It was already early morning.
However, the tranquility of the past was absent.
Armed helicopters shuttled back and forth, unleashing beast-like roars that echoed over the city.
" Uncle Lu, let's take a taxi."
Standing by the roadside, Ning Chuan glanced around and offered his suggestion.
Qingshan City has now implemented a complete no-fly zone.
Although he could apply to fly, it wasn't worth it for such a trivial matter; it would be a waste of time and cause trouble for the military.
And walking?
Today is Wednesday, a workday.
At this time, during the morning rush hour, there are many pedestrians on the road heading to work.
Given his and Lu Zhan's popularity in Qingshan City, their recognition would definitely cause a sensation.
"Can."
Lu Zhan said casually.
After a pause, Lu Zhan added, "Remember to call a luxury taxi."
He was tall, nearly two meters, and would inevitably feel cramped in a regular car.
More than half an hour later.
Lu Family Manor.
A driverless luxury taxi slowly pulled up outside the gate.
However, the car doors remained tightly closed.
According to the taxi hailing procedure, passengers need to pay first after the taxi arrives at the destination before the door will open.
Inside the car.
Their eyes met silently for a long while.
" Uncle Lu, you don't mean to ask me to pay for it, do you?"
Ning Chuan broke the silence first, looking at Lu Zhan whose lips were twitching, raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, "No way!"
Are you really going to make me pay?
As a dignified Haotian Knight, one of the Ten Great Knights of the Federation, and even a contender for the top spot, you should at least be more generous!
Besides, I'm your junior!
Lu Zhan's face darkened. He said, "Stop talking nonsense and pay up. I didn't bring my phone."
Ning Chuan raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Shouldn't you normally say your phone's dead?"
"I really didn't bring it."
Lu Zhan rubbed his forehead, sighed, and said helplessly, "I left in a hurry. I set off immediately after receiving your SOS message."
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan's expression changed slightly, becoming somewhat grave. He said, "You should have told me sooner!"
Lu Zhan glanced at him sideways and said irritably, "It's good that you know how to be moved..."
Before he could finish speaking...
He saw Ning Chuan take out his phone, his face full of regret, and say, "In that case, I'll just call an economy taxi!"
Lu Zhan: "..."
He risked serious injury to activate forbidden techniques, and was even prepared to fight the Heavenly King to the death.
it turns out.
All you get in return is an economy taxi?
" Uncle Lu, the fare is paid, get off the bus!"
Ning Chuan chuckled.
He could tell that Lu Zhan's mood had been rather low ever since Bai Qi mentioned Lin Fengyang.
That's why he made those jokes.
Hopefully, Lu Zhan can temporarily forget his unpleasant feelings.
Men rarely openly discuss their feelings for each other.
Most of them are as silent as mountains and rocks.
certainly.
Ning Chuan believes that volcanoes should also be considered mountains.
The two got out of the car and walked into the Lu Family manor.
As soon as Ning Chuan passed through the gate, he saw Lu Mengyue standing on the steps below, her pretty face pale and worried, pacing back and forth.
" Ning Chuan, thank goodness! Are you hurt anywhere?!"
Lu Mengyue glanced at them with her beautiful eyes and quickly stepped forward.
The concern in his voice was unmistakable.
The military's city lockdown and search operation was so large that it naturally attracted widespread attention, and the internet was already buzzing with discussion.
The 27th Group Army provided an explanation.
But it's very concise.
Just one sentence:
"Major General Ning Chuan of the army was ambushed and killed by the alien Knight Baerjia!"
As for Baerjia, he was injured by Ning Chuan piloting the Thunder Sovereign.
Because of Ning Chuan's previous instructions, the military did not disclose the information.
Don't worry, everything is fine.
Ning Chuan comforted him and briefly recounted what had happened last night.
After hearing this, Lu Mengyue breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
But immediately, a strong sense of shock welled up in my heart.
In early spring of March, Ning Chuan served as her sparring partner.
At that time, I was only at the Awakening Stage Four, and I was still unfamiliar with even the most basic combat skills.
Now, at the end of summer, Ning Chuan has actually managed to injure High-Level Knight in a direct confrontation!
Only two seasons have passed!
"I really don't know what to say!"
Lu Mengyue sighed, feeling as if it were a dream.
Ning Chuan smiled and casually asked, "What date are you planning to go to Galaxy University? Would you like to come with me?"
When he returned to Qingshan City last time, he asked about Lu Mengyue's grades.
Ranked 745th in the college entrance examination.
Enough to get into Galaxy University.
Upon hearing this, Lu Mengyue's eyes flickered. She glanced at Lu Zhan beside her, a complex expression on her face, and said, "I can't go to Galaxy University."
Ning Chuan was taken aback and asked, "You failed the exam?"
As he spoke, he shook his head and muttered to himself, "No, Galaxy University's admissions process involves sending staff to invite students one-on-one. If you get an invitation, you're guaranteed admission."
"No one failed the exam."
Lu Mengyue took a deep breath and said, "I Awakening the Star God Physique."
Ning Chuan looked Lu Mengyue up and down, somewhat surprised, and said, " Supreme Physique?"
In order to better disguise Eternal Night King Physique, he read a lot of information about Supreme Physique.
The Star God Physique is one of them.
He is said to be invincible wherever Starlight shines!
"Yes."
Lu Mengyue reached out and stroked her hair, recalling, "At the end of June, the Star God Physique began to Awakening, and it was fully completed not long ago."
Ning Chuan stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "So, back then, when you told me about the physical changes, you were referring to the Star God Physique. I thought..."
"Shut up!"
Lu Mengyue glared at Ning Chuan, a pretty blush rising on her face.
Her father, Lu Zhan, was right beside her.
Ning Chuan coughed lightly, changing the subject, and said, " Awakening the Star God Physique, why can't you go to Galaxy University?"
The Supreme Physique should be given more attention.
Upon hearing this, the smile vanished from Lu Zhan's face.
Lu Mengyue's shyness dissipated, and she said in a complicated voice, "I want to go to the Wang Family to cultivate."
"A family of Heavenly King!"
A glint flashed in Ning Chuan's eyes as he turned his head to look at Lu Zhan beside him.
He had a premonition.
Lu Mengyue's trip to the Wang Family is definitely related to the old grudge between Lu Zhan and Lin Fengyang.
Lu Zhan gazed at Ning Chuan and said calmly, "You're not mistaken. Mengyue's trip to the Wang Family is to atone for my and Ya'er's sins."
Wang Ya is Lu Mengyue's mother.
"By order of the two Heavenly King, Mengyue shall serve as the protector of the Wang Family."
Lu Zhan said calmly.
But the ground beneath his feet cracked and sputtered, cracks spreading outwards like lightning under the pressure of the aura.
The Lu Zhan is rapidly escalating to the point of spiraling out of control.
"Protectors"—that's just a nice-sounding phrase!
They're not even as good as bodyguards.
In essence, they are no different from the Wang Family's assassins!
"Dad, don't be so angry. Protectors aren't prisoners; they have freedom too."
Lu Mengyue quickly tried to persuade her.
She paused, a longing look appearing on her face, and said, "Most importantly, by cultivating in the Wang Family, I can see my mother."
In her memory, Lu Mengyue had never met her mother.
But she was not unfamiliar with it.
Lu Zhan would often show her Wang Ya's photo and tell her stories.
and.
Not long before the Lu Zhan, Lu Zhan told her the truth about Awakening the Star God Physique.
Wang Ya was actually the one who naturally Awakening the Star God Physique. During her pregnancy, she used a forbidden technique to infuse all the divinity of the Star God Physique into her body.
Ya'er will be so happy to see you!
Upon hearing Lu Mengyue mention Wang Ya, Lu Zhan calmed down considerably, and his imposing aura gradually dissipated.
At this moment, Ning Chuan looked at Lu Mengyue and slowly asked, "After you arrive at the Wang Family, will you need to immediately become Wang Family protector?"
"Need not."
Lu Mengyue pondered for a moment and said, "The requirements for a protector are very high. I will only take on this role after I advance to the Knight. Before that, I will cultivate like the other Wang Family family members."
"It's alright, there's still time to prepare."
Ning Chuan nodded slightly and said, " Mengyue, work hard in your cultivation and advance to the Knight as soon as possible."
"I don't think it'll work... uh... what did you say?"
Lu Mengyue blinked her big, dark eyes twice.
She thought Ning Chuan wanted her to slack off in her cultivation and become a protector as late as possible.
"Why?!"
Lu Mengyue glared at Ning Chuan, puffing out her cheeks, and said angrily, "The mission of the protectors isn't safe either!"
I'm doing this for your own good!
Ning Chuan grinned and said, "How embarrassing would it be if you were still only a third or fourth-rank Martial Artist when I've advanced to the Heavenly King and come to fetch you?"
At this moment, the boy was bathed in the bright morning sunlight, a smile on his face, but his obsidian-like eyes were exceptionally serious.
He wasn't lying.
Lu Mengyue's breath hitched, and her heart began to beat faster uncontrollably.
I don't know why.
Lu Mengyue suddenly couldn't look Ning Chuan in the eye.
She lowered her eyes, looking at her barely visible toes, and scolded playfully, "You're just bragging! The internet says you're only guaranteed to become Divine General, and your chances of advancing to Heavenly King are only 30%!"
"Thirty percent, rounded down, that's ten percent!"
"That's cheating! How can you round down like that!"
"I'm not kidding you, it really exists. Lots of people I've dealt with know about it!"
Beside him, Lu Zhan watched Ning Chuan and Lu Mengyue arguing back and forth, and couldn't help but smile.
My mood, which had been gloomy for many days, has improved considerably.
After joking around for a while, Ning Chuan thought for a moment and asked, "When are you going to the Wang Family?"
September 1st.
Lu Mengyue glanced at Lu Zhan, somewhat reluctant, and said, " The Wang Family will send someone to pick me up directly."
Ning Chuan smiled and said, "I'll take you there then."
The registration period for Galaxy University will last for three days, from September 1st to September 3rd.
There's enough time.
"Um."
Lu Mengyue nodded earnestly, a bright smile spreading across her pretty face.
After chatting for a while longer, Ning Chuan took his leave and headed to his residence at the manor.
He also has three martial arts techniques that need to be passed down.
Ning Chuan is really looking forward to it.
The Knight himself collected it, so it can't be too bad.
