Chapter 40: Wuxia Coffin Mountain, Earthly Immortals Escape
As soon as we entered the airport waiting hall, the broadcast reminded passengers that flights to Shanghai could start checking in and boarding.
Nuonuo was just about to sit down when she heard the broadcast and started walking towards the ticket gate with her suitcase.
There are no direct flights to the United States today, so you have to transfer at other international airports.
Originally, according to Guderian, it would be more convenient to go to the capital, but Nono's hometown happened to be there, and she happened to have a bad relationship with those people.
In order to avoid being entangled by troublesome people and things, she decisively chose to take a detour.
"Based on my observations over the past few days, Lu Mingfei is actually a donkey. He looks easy to get along with, but in fact he won't move if you lead him. You can only follow his will."
Nono and Professor Guderian parted at the ticket gate and wanted to provide some valuable advice before leaving.
But if you think about it carefully, if Professor Guderian was in charge of the whole process this time, Lu Mingfei would have signed the admission consent form long ago, and the situation would not have become so tense.
So she just patted Professor Guderian on the shoulder in a condescending manner and said, "I wish you all the best. Bye, Professor."
"Well, you also have a safe trip and stay safe."
After bidding farewell to Nuonuo, Professor Guderian returned and sat down next to Lu Mingfei.
"You care about her a lot." Lu Mingfei glanced at him. The old man looked like a stone waiting for his daughter.
He had imagined that when his daughter went to kindergarten, he would hold on to the railing like this and watch her crying as she was led into the classroom by the kindergarten teacher. Then he would hug his wife, who was also reluctant to leave her child and silently crying, and comfort her softly.
"Nono lived abroad for a period of time before, and I am her guardian." Seeing that Lu Mingfei was willing to talk to him, Professor Guderian was happy to share some interesting stories about Nono with him, trying to improve their relationship.
It’s a pity that Lu Mingfei didn’t care about the childhood of the red-haired little crazy woman. He just silently browsed the text on his phone and said nonchalantly:
"What about her family? Don't they want her anymore?"
Guderian felt that the word "also" was used very subtly, as if in Lu Mingfei's heart, he was abandoned by his parents.
"Her mother died when she was a child, and her father was busy with work. He later married another wife, so he didn't have much time to take care of her, which led to her not being happy at home."
Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows when he heard this, thinking that the little witch really didn't tell the truth. Aren't there still many family members who can be sacrificed? If I had said so earlier, I could have had a few more targets to attack yesterday.
"Why, did her brothers and sisters bully her?" He continued to extract information calmly: "A group of red-haired, red-eyed boys and girls killing each other is very weird. Will it really not attract some media to report it?"
"That's not the case. Nuonuo's eye and hair colors are quite rare." Gudeli had no idea that Lu Mingfei was trying to trick him, and just thought he was curious:
"She seems to be the only one in her generation who has this dominant gene. I haven't seen anyone else."
Lu Mingfei’s eyes were still fixed on the phone screen, but his mind had already wandered elsewhere: “Maybe she has other brothers and sisters overseas.
Seeing how much she likes foreign countries, maybe other elders have married and had children abroad. "
"Then I'm not sure. Maybe there is. They are a big family after all." Guderian shook his head.
He taught at Harvard and was busy studying the truth of the world when he came to Kassel College. He didn't know much about Nono's family.
When they met again at Kassel College later, she never wanted to mention them.
Lu Mingfei nodded thoughtfully. Although the information was not very useful, it was better than nothing.
If it really happens in the future... maybe there will be more directions to look for.
Thinking of this, he looked at Guderian with a much more pleasing look.
"By the way, when can Chu Zihang contact me?"
"Um, this..." Guderian's eyebrows drooped when he heard this:
"He is currently participating in a very important physics competition. His instructor said that the score is very close at this stage and he cannot let any off-field factors interfere with him."
"It's okay, I understand. Study is the priority."
Who said Guderian was confused? This old man is so funny and he answers whatever you ask.
Given Lu Mingfei enough time, he is confident that he can get Guderian's bank card password.
During the waiting time, Lu Mingfei kept chatting with Guderian, trying to get more information.
But after all, he is a professor who has taught at Harvard and private aristocratic universities. There is no way he could be controlled by him.
He only said what he could say and refused to say what he couldn't say. He would also ask Lu Mingfei a few questions from time to time.
"Why do you suddenly want to go to the mountain city?"
"I had a scary dream. I dreamt about some weird things."
"What?" Guderian suddenly became a little nervous.
“Just, a poem.” Seeing him like this, Lu Mingfei suddenly wanted to make a joke.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
After laughing, the two chatted back and forth, and soon it was time to check in and board the plane.
There were not many people flying to the mountain city. Professor Guderian did not go to the first class cabin, but chose to squeeze into the economy class with Lu Mingfei, obviously wanting to take the opportunity to deepen their understanding.
But after Lu Mingfei put away his backpack, he skillfully put on his eye mask and turned off his phone. He said, "I'm airsick, please do as you please," and covered himself with a blanket and went into sleep mode.
Professor Guderian followed suit, as he hadn't gotten much sleep the previous night.
The plane slowly left the runway and flew up into the clouds, like a roc soaring up into the sky with the wind.
Many people are paying attention to this giant bird, including the mysterious president of Kassel College.
Guderian went to the toilet before boarding the plane. He squatted on the toilet and transmitted all the information and speculations he had just obtained from the conversation with Lu Mingfei back to the academy.
Among them, Lu Mingfei was suspected to have a clairvoyant vision in his dream and noticed the abnormal phenomena in the mountain city, which attracted the attention of the college's top management.
"During the conversation, he admitted that he had a nightmare last night and saw a poem in his dream?"
The old man with his hair combed meticulously stared quietly at the encrypted email, and his expression became more solemn the more he read.
"Wuxia Coffin Mountain, where the earthly immortals hide. Dragons spit water, and ancient tombs are left behind.
Coffin mountain, earthly immortals, dragons, ancient tombs...
"A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Could it be that the King of Bronze and Fire, who is so proud, has prepared other tombs?"
The gray-haired principal took out a map with various annotations and looked at Wu Gorge, which was not far from Kuimen. He frowned and asked, "Norma, have you found the source of this poem?"
The matter was of great importance, and he had to make sure that Lu Mingfei did not read this poem from some forum.
"I haven't found the corresponding source on the Internet yet." Norma's voice came from the computer.
"The possibility that this poem has not been recorded on the Internet is 1.557%, the possibility that Lu Mingfei made it up is 4.396%, the possibility that it came from his spiritual vision is 77.7%, and other possibilities..."
After listening to Norma's analysis, the principal took off his glasses, rubbed his brows, and said in a deep voice:
"Notify Professor Schneider and ask him to come to my office and tell him that there is something important to discuss."
