Guanzhong is more than 1,000 kilometers away from Penglai.
Time was of the essence, so Lin Yu asked Feng Jiu to drive him there directly. They were on the highway now and should arrive early tomorrow morning.
Along the way, it's a good opportunity to meditate and regulate your breathing to replenish your energy.
Just as Lin Yu was heading to Penglai.
Meanwhile, Zhang Ailan had already returned to the Kailai Hotel with a delighted expression.
These past few days I've been working as a cleaner at the Longsheng Hotel, and I've suffered my worst. So naturally I need to enjoy myself now that I'm back.
First, I took a hot bath, then I took a beauty nap.
When I opened my eyes, it was already time to leave work.
Just then, Lu Xueqing returned.
When Lu Xueqing saw her mother, she was stunned for a moment, then her eyes reddened, and she quickly ran over to hug her mother.
"Mom, you're back! Waaaaah, I missed you so much!"
"Don't give me that!" Zhang Ailan pushed her aside irritably, rolling her eyes. "You miss me? Have you even visited me once these past few days? You have the nerve to say you miss me?"
Lu Xueqing blushed and said, "Mom, I've just been busy with work!"
"Hmph, is work that important? More important than your mother? I think you're heartless and ungrateful. Do you even know what I've been through these past few days..."
At this point, Zhang Ailan abruptly stopped.
She almost forgot, Li Xianren had specifically instructed her not to reveal anything about 007. Because the other party was currently negotiating a business deal with his daughter, if she really ruined Li Xianren's business, there was a possibility of retaliation from the other party.
You have to understand, she still owes Li Xianren 50 million yuan. If she offends him, he might immediately drag her back to work as a cleaner! And it might be even worse than before!
Lu Xueqing's expression was strange, and she couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what's wrong? Did you get upset at the Longsheng Hotel? Did someone bully you?"
"No, no!" Zhang Ailan quickly waved her hand, then grabbed her daughter's arm and said, "Daughter! Why don't you buy me a ticket and I'll go back to Fengtian? I don't want to stay here for another second!"
She wanted to return to Fengtian, naturally because she was afraid that Li Xianren would come and take her back to work as a cleaner.
Lu Xueqing frowned. "Mom, didn't you not want to go back before? Why do you suddenly want to go back to Fengtian?"
Suddenly, she realized something, her beautiful eyes widened, and she asked, "Mom, you didn't sneak back from Boss Li's place, did you?"
"Uh..." Zhang Ailan smiled awkwardly. Although she hadn't sneaked out, she had come out without Li Xianren's knowledge.
Strictly speaking, it's no different from leaking it outright.
However, she quickly said, "No, no! Boss Li took pity on me and gave me the day off! I was just thinking that Xiaoya is going to take the college entrance exam, so I went back to take care of her!"
Lu Xueqing smiled and said, "It's okay, Mom! I spoke with Xiaoya's homeroom teacher on the phone. Xiaoya is doing well living at school and is in good spirits. She even passed the third-tier university entrance exam in this mock exam!"
"Uh, really!" Zhang Ailan smiled awkwardly, but still insisted, "Even if it weren't for Xiaoya, Mom wants to go back and see her. Your uncle called the other day and said your grandma is sick! Although our relationship is strained now, she's still your grandma, and I have to go back and see her!"
When the Lu family was mentioned, Lu Xueqing pursed her lips.
She thought for a moment and said, "Okay, since you want to go back, I'll book you a high-speed rail ticket online later. You can go back by yourself. I really don't have time to go back!"
"Oh right, Mom, where's Lin Yu?" Lu Xueqing asked quickly.
Strange, Lin Yu would usually have already prepared dinner by this time, but he hasn't come back today.
Zhang Ailan couldn't help but smile when Lin Yu was mentioned.
That little bastard has probably already been killed by the Japanese by now!
There's a good chance they won't be coming back!
However, she naturally couldn't tell her daughter about this; if her daughter found out, she would definitely go to Lin Yu.
This is not what she wanted to see.
So she quickly said, "Oh, is that so! Before you came back, that general named Feng Jiu came to see him. Lin Yu is the young marshal's double, right? I guess he has a mission this time, and the two of them went on a mission together! I guess they won't be back for at least ten days or half a month!"
"What? A mission?" Lu Xueqing immediately tensed up.
Being a stand-in for the young marshal is inherently dangerous, and hearing her mother say this, her heart couldn't help but jump.
"How could he do this? I told him last time that he must tell me when he goes on a mission, but he just left without a word!" Lu Xueqing complained, biting her lip.
Zhang Ailan quickly comforted him, "Isn't that how soldiers are? When there's a mission, even if they're taking a dump, they have to cut it off immediately! But don't worry, this kid is tough. He can even be cured of blindness, so he'll be fine easily. Don't worry!"
Hearing her say that, Lu Xueqing's expression softened somewhat.
The mother and daughter chatted for a while longer before going downstairs to the restaurant for dinner.
After returning, Lu Xueqing went to take a shower.
Zhang Ailan rushed over and opened her daughter's phone.
"That good-for-nothing, he really did block me!" Zhang Ailan was furious when she realized she had indeed been blocked.
"Hmph! If you do the first thing, don't blame me for doing the fifteenth!" Zhang Ailan's lips curled up slightly. First, she unblocked her own number, and then immediately blocked Lin Yu's phone number and WeChat.
In her mind, if Lin Yu died, the police would probably notify his family to collect his body.
Cemetery plots are quite expensive these days; this piece of junk isn't worth wasting land on, much less spending money on.
After finishing all that, Zhang Ailan happily went to the mahjong parlor to play. At the same time, she prayed silently that Lin Yu wouldn't come back. She figured that if Lin Yu didn't return tonight, he was probably really dead.
I was incredibly happy.
...
The next day.
At dawn, a yacht is speeding across the boundless sea.
With the salty sea breeze blowing, Lin Yu's nerves finally relaxed a bit.
After a night of recuperation, his complexion finally improved, and his internal energy recovered considerably.
Ahead lay a sea shrouded in mist. Feng Jiu slowed the ship down and came over to report, "Young Marshal, fifty miles ahead lies the Penglai Barrier, which blocks all electronic signals. Why don't you call Madam first and tell her?"
Lin Yu nodded.
The era of the Investiture of the Gods left behind many blessed lands and grottoes.
Kunlun, Changbai, Lop Nur, Qinling, Tianshan, and so on, Penglai is one of them.
However, the Penglai barrier that Feng Jiu mentioned is quite different from the Penglai shown on the map. The two are not in the same sea area.
Only people in the martial arts world know this.
Once you enter this Penglai, it's like entering the Bermuda Triangle; all signals are cut off. You can no longer contact the outside world.
If he disappeared for a few days, his wife would be worried sick, so he quickly took out his phone and called her.
I never expected the line to be busy!
Lin Yu tried calling twice more, but still couldn't get through. He could only shake his head helplessly, "There's no time, let's go in first!"
Feng Jiu nodded and quickly steered the yacht into the misty sea ahead.
