After leaving the Beast Taming Space, Lu Yuan gathered Mu Ruxing and Zheng Meng together.

Wu Mingxu remains unaccounted for.

Lu Yuan wanted to investigate, but the information he received was that the Wu family had closed their doors to visitors since the end of the beast tide and remained completely isolated to this day.

He tried calling Wu Mingxu, but the call never went through and was always disconnected. He could only communicate through chat software.

The response was always that there were family matters to attend to, that it would take time to resolve, and that Lu Yuan's help was unnecessary.

In response to this.

Lu Yuan had some doubts, but he was preoccupied with the matters of Crimson Feather and the Fire Forest Secret Realm, so he didn't bother with them anymore.

"I'll be going to the capital for a while, so I'll be leaving the pet shop and auction house to you two," Lu Yuan instructed the two people in front of him.

"Don't worry, manager!" Zheng Meng said confidently with a smile, "When you come back, the store will definitely be full of customers again!"

Mu Ruxing nodded in agreement.

"Leave the auction to me!"

Since he didn't know how long he would be staying in the capital, Lu Yuan directly exchanged ten cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts for Mu Ruxing, which was enough for at least a month's worth of auction items.

"Okay!" Lu Yuan smiled with satisfaction. "I'll set off tonight, and the return time is yet to be determined. You just need to focus on your work."

Mu Ruxing nodded upon hearing this.

He really wanted to stay by Lu Yuan's side, but he knew that the businesses in Yandu were also very important to Lu Yuan, especially the revenue from the auctions.

He was always in charge of the auction house affairs.

If he leaves with Lu Yuan, there will be no one to manage the auction.

So despite his reluctance, he had no choice but to stay in Yandu.

but.

The headquarters of the Divine Pavilion is located in the capital.

With Uncle Fu around, there shouldn't be any need for him to take action.

After explaining his work to the two men, Lu Yuan packed his things and headed to Yandu Airport.

This was, in fact, his first time using public transportation.

Previously, he had to evade the pursuit of the Grand Elder, so he could only hide and travel in all directions, either hiking through the forest or driving around on back roads.

The Grand Elder has now been killed by him.

It feels great to be able to ride public transportation openly and legally!

After passing through security, I boarded the plane smoothly.

Lu Yuan sat by the window, looking at the white clouds floating outside, and his mind became somewhat hazy.

Sometimes he feels like he's still in the same world, unable to distinguish whether what he's experiencing is reality or a dream.

After all, apart from the region name and the beast-taming spiritual power, this world was exactly the same as what he knew from his previous life.

But whenever he was lost in confusion, he would sense the presence of the four little ones in the space, which would suddenly bring him back to his senses.

"Really..."

Lu Yuan chuckled and shook his head, clearing his mind of all the jumbled thoughts.

He didn't come to the capital for leisure this time.

Whether it's ranking in the top three of the exam or obtaining the Phoenix Blood, he has to get it!

...

After the plane landed, Lu Yuan walked out of the airport with a backpack and went straight to the hotel he had booked.

It's the same hotel where I attended the business exchange conference in Beijing last time.

He was very satisfied with both the room service and the food, so he decided to stay there again.

To his surprise, he ran into Luo Fang here again.

"It's you again?!"

Upon seeing Lu Yuan, Luo Fang's first reaction was disdain and disgust, but upon closer inspection, one could see a deep fear in her eyes.

Her attempt to smear Lu Yuan at the Luo family's house last time backfired, making Luo Jing realize her problems instead.

After Lu Yuan left the capital, Luo Jing secretly had someone investigate her, and naturally, all the filthy and despicable things she had done could not be hidden and were exposed.

Although Luo Jing didn't make things too difficult for her because of their thin family ties, he still kicked her out of the Luo family, claiming it was to teach her to survive independently. He left her to fend for herself in a rented apartment and wouldn't even pay her rent.

Not only that.

Because of the Luo family's change in attitude towards her, those who had been bullied and suppressed by her in the past were no longer afraid of her and even began to retaliate against her.

Despite still being a student at Dragon Academy, her life is far from easy.

then.

She then vented all her grievances and resentment on the Luo family.

However, the Luo family was not a family that a girl from the countryside could take revenge on. She could only curse them silently in her heart while struggling to find a way to survive in the academy.

Now that she has encountered Lu Yuan again, Luo Fang has transferred all the resentment she had been holding in onto him.

Even if Lu Yuan wins Luo Jing's favor, so what?

In the end, Lu Yuan was just a kid from the countryside. Even if he had some skills, he was not good enough in the talent-rich Longteng Academy!

This is also why Luo Fang, despite suffering all sorts of grievances, was unwilling to leave Longteng Academy.

As long as she can find a powerful patron in the academy, she can become a person of high status again!

Luo Fang's mentality perfectly illustrates a saying.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Having experienced being pampered like a young lady of the Luo family, she could no longer go back to that ordinary, mundane rural life.

"Fangfang, who is this man?"

Just as Luo Fang was gritting her teeth at Lu Yuan, a young man walked up behind her, casually put his arm around her waist, and gave her a hard pinch on the buttocks before looking Lu Yuan up and down with hostility in his eyes.

"Zhou-ge, are you jealous?"

Luo Fang, speaking in a high-pitched voice, playfully patted the young man's chest.

This affected and greasy appearance gave Lu Yuan goosebumps!

Ke Luofang was completely oblivious to the disgust in Lu Yuan's eyes, and continued to cling to the man in a high-pitched voice, thinking herself charming.

"He is my sister's... friend."

At this point, Luo Fang paused for a moment before hesitatingly speaking again.

"But before I met him through my sister, I had already run into him here and seen some things... Anyway, you know my sister is a girl who grew up in an ivory tower and doesn't understand what it means to be wicked. I moved out of the Luo family because I gave her a few words of advice."

Luo Fang's teasing remarks once again surprised Lu Yuan.

What did he hear?!

Luo Yueyi is a girl who grew up in an ivory tower?!

Luo Yueyi's previous behavior couldn't help but come to mind.

Strong and dignified, decisive and courageous.

At a glance, you can tell she's a carefully groomed young lady, completely different from Luo Fang, who clearly lacks common sense.

That's it!

How dare Luo Fang say that Luo Yueyi is a little girl who grew up in an ivory tower?

In his opinion!

It's more like the Wolf Fang Tower!

What Lu Yuan didn't expect was that people actually believed Luo Fang's completely mindless remarks!

The man standing next to her glanced at Lu Yuan with disgust and spoke in a disdainful tone.

"snort!"

"Only a loser would try to achieve his goals by deceiving women!"
