Chapter 57 Grandmother
In Luming City, although there was no way to let Jian An Ning go home for the time being, Lu Fei still sent Jian An Ning back to his home.
After all, he couldn't just chase people away.
"Don't worry, I'll ask other people if there is a small road that can lead us out of Dongchang." After Lu Fei said this, he left his home.
And Jane Anning just stayed there quietly.
Because she knew very well that in her current state, she could not go back at all. It would be better for her to stay in the human world and perhaps find an opportunity to go back.
Lu Fei came to the long street and went to the pharmacy on the street first, and called Huang Xian, who had a lame leg.
"Brother Huang." Lu Fei greeted with a smile.
When Huang Xian saw him, his expression was filled with surprise.
He knew the time of the trial and also knew when it would end. Since Lu Fei came here at this time, he must have successfully passed the trial.
Seeing Lu Fei's unharmed appearance, Huang Xian couldn't help but feel a little envious.
However, Lu Fei brought him to a more secluded part of the street and took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms.
Huang Xian was deeply impressed by this porcelain vase.
He still remembered that several years ago, in the dark temple, those who passed the trial received this thing as a reward, and it would also be able to heal his legs.
"Here you are, Brother Huang," Lu Fei said generously. "You have always taken good care of me and guided me before the trial. I naturally cannot let you down."
Huang Xian was extremely excited and almost snatched the porcelain bottle from Lu Fei's hand. He saw half a bottle of golden liquid in the porcelain bottle.
He drank it without thinking and thanked Lu Fei repeatedly.
Lu Fei said a few humble words and then asked, "Actually, there is one more thing I want to ask you today, which is how to leave Dongchang."
Huang Xian paused after hearing this, revealing an expression that said, "I understand what you mean." Although Lu Fei didn't understand what he understood, Huang Xian replied, "I've heard from those cultivators that it's impossible to leave Dongchang on foot, because the gods have set up a barrier around it to protect it. Therefore, if you want to leave Dongchang, you can only use the teleportation array."
"What teleportation array?" Lu Fei was puzzled.
He wondered, hadn't he always lived in Luming City? How come after this trial, so many places in Luming City appeared that he had never heard of?
Huang Xian couldn't hear his inner voice, but he couldn't answer his question either. After all, he had only heard about it from the monks who came to the pharmacy. He was just an ordinary person who happened to hear the news.
Huang Xian expressed his helplessness, and Lu Fei did not ask any further questions. Instead, he said goodbye to him and thought about where to go to find the teleportation array.
At the same time, at the end of the long street.
Lu Fei's home, which was usually deserted, was rarely visited by anyone. Five men in black, their faces masked with black cloth, gathered around.
However, judging from their attire and expressions, it was clear that this group of people had bad intentions.
They exchanged glances, and then one of them said, "The eldest master meant that after taking the divine blood, it would be fine to kill that woman."
The men in black understood what he meant and thought that he wanted to kill people to silence them.
They sneaked into Lu Fei's house quietly. If there were other people there, they would be able to see that these men in black were all extremely rare cultivators.
They were also conceited about being monks, and that Jian An Ning, who had not drunk the blood of God in the house, was just an ordinary person and could not detect their arrival at all.
In an instant, men in black rushed into the hut from all directions, overturned the roof, kicked open the door, and removed two windows.
A gentle breeze blew in, but the men in black did not notice that the mortal Jane Anning in their eyes did not show any sign of trembling or fear. Her expression was quite calm, and she even looked forward to the sharp weapon ending her life as a human being.
However, at this moment, Lu Fei came back.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he sensed something was wrong. When the men in black attacked, he leaped into the encirclement, drew his sword, and deflected the weapons. His brow furrowed in anger, he asked, "Who are you?"
The five men in black looked at each other, and instantly hardened their hearts, deciding to kill Lu Fei as well.
After all, a cultivator from a branch of the Lu family would hardly be known by name in the main branch, and he had never even been to the temple, so he could not be considered a threat.
The sound of metal clashing was extremely harsh, and the flashes of swords and sabers kept passing by.
In an instant, countless blood marks appeared on Lu Fei's body. He knelt on one knee, supporting himself with his sword to prevent himself from falling.
At this moment, he still didn't know why these men in black came, but this didn't prevent him from realizing that the men in black definitely wanted to kill him.
And he didn't want to die.
That deep obsession kept lingering in his mind until it reached a certain critical point.
A dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from Lu Fei's body, and the men in black covered their eyes and retreated together.
"Damn it! He actually awakened on his own without going through the temple?"
The expressions of the men in black were not very good, but after all, it was still five to one, so no one retreated.
Because that person promised them that he could share some of the stolen divine blood with them.
After all, it is extremely difficult to obtain this thing from the temple, and now it is just a matter of killing two people.
Those people were determined and continued their offensive.
Lu Fei felt some wonderful changes happening in his body. His body became lighter, and he seemed to see many golden light balls in his mind.
He walked towards one of them and touched it lightly, then heard an ancient and sacred voice coming from the ball of light. It sounded very much like the spell chanted by the young man who led them to the trial ground.
But Lu Fei could only hear them, he couldn't remember them, let alone use them.
A moment later, his soul returned to the hut. Those men in black were no longer as careless as before. A faint white light condensed on their hands and weapons, as if they were using some methods that Lu Fei had not yet mastered.
The fighting between the two sides was very fierce.
Jian An Ning watched silently from the side, with no intention of intervening. She knew very well that she could do nothing at the moment. Similarly, the people who were fighting fiercely did not pay attention to her.
However, she could see that Lu Fei was gradually losing the upper hand.
If the situation continues to develop in this way, Lu Fei will die soon, and then the men in black will snatch the bottle from her hand and kill her.
Jian An Ning thought that she had no intention of stopping the situation from developing in this direction.
She just waited quietly, wondering when she would leave this world.
She also thought about what her sister, who always loved to go to the human world, said: humans don't like to leave their bodies exposed in the wilderness, and she has received a lot of care from Lu Fei, so she thought she would collect Lu Fei's body.
Jian Anning's thoughts drifted far away until Lu Fei fell down again, spitting blood from his mouth.
The men in black laughed and said, their faces full of pride, "You think you can be a hero and save the damsel in distress? I'll send you all to hell right now."
The thin door panel was kicked open and lay pitifully on the ground.
The gray-haired old woman, carrying a bag on her back, was slightly hunched over, but her eyes were fierce as she charged towards the men in black, angrily demanding, "Who are you? How dare you hurt my grandson?"
As she spoke, she was about to take off the black cloth covering the man in black's face.
"It's Lu Yu!"
The man in black suddenly panicked. After all, killing and robbing was not a legitimate way of life, not to mention that the person he killed was from the same family as Lu.
It would be fine if Lu Fei didn't recognize them, but Lu Yu grew up with the eldest daughter of the Lu family. He is a well-known figure in the Lu family and is notorious for being difficult to mess with. He might recognize them.
After all, they had no intention of making this action public. If the matter were to be reported to the temple, the priests would not give them a good result.
They looked at each other, and finally sneaked into the night, temporarily letting Lu Fei and Jian An Ning go.
"Grandma?" Lu Fei called her with some confusion, and then fainted completely due to the severity of his injuries.
Lu Yu's worry instantly reached its peak. She almost rushed to Lu Fei's side and said to Jian An Ning, who had been silent at the side, "Won't you help?"
Jian An Ning tilted her head slightly and finally walked towards Lu Fei.
A few days later.
Lu Fei didn't know how long he had been unconscious. He only knew that when he woke up, it was bright outside and the sun was already high in the sky. The house was as tidy as before, and the gray-white egg brought back from the trial zone was placed in the corner of the wall.
The wounds all over his body burst into intense pain, as if trying to make up for the pain he had not felt during the battle with the man in black.
He made a hissing sound, and the noise soon alarmed Lu Yu who had been guarding him.
She quickly brought a bowl of medicine and said, "The doctor said you should drink this bowl of medicine when you wake up."
Lu Fei did as she was told, enduring the bitterness and drinking up all the medicine residue at the bottom of the bowl. Only then did she have time to ask Lu Yu, "Grandma, why are you back?"
Lu Fei has always known that his grandmother has been working in the clan's main office since he was born to earn some money to support him.
However, when he was young, his grandmother came back every day to take care of him. But after he was able to take care of himself, his grandmother no longer came back, and only asked someone to bring him money every month.
Lu Fei's question made Lu Yu sigh deeply.
"Grandma was originally responsible for taking care of the young lady, but didn't the trial ground open a few days ago? The young lady went there too, but she didn't come back."
Lu Fei's heart moved, and she asked, "What's the eldest lady's name?"
"Lu Zixi."
Lu Fei thought: It seems that Lu Zixi might have been killed by the big monster in the cave, but why could the big monster turn into Lu Zixi's appearance?
Does the demon itself possess such magic, or can it transform into the appearance of the person it has killed or perhaps even eaten?
Lu Fei thought again of the descriptions of the monster race's cruelty and brutality in the books he had read, and his heart unconsciously leaned towards the last possibility, feeling a little chilled.
Lu Yu didn't notice where Lu Fei's thoughts had wandered to, and continued, "Now that the eldest lady is gone, I, the servant responsible for taking care of her, am no longer valuable. They gave Grandma some silver and let her go."
She sighed and said, "This little bit of money isn't enough. When you get better, grandma will have to find you another job."
Then, Lu Yu changed the subject, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he pointed at the door and asked Lu Fei, "What's going on with that girl?"
Lu Fei stood up slightly and saw Jian An Ning standing at the door, her eyes filled with deep confusion, as if there were many things she couldn't figure out.
