FVN Chapter 72 School Opening Day: Blocked by a Wealthy Family!
Chapter 72 School Opening Day: Blocked by a Wealthy Family!
Lu Jingchen sat on the sofa in his living room, slowly packing the odds and ends he needed to bring to school.
The fire unicorn dressed as a little mongrel next to him was happily swinging his sock around in its mouth.
Just then, my phone suddenly rang in my pocket.
The caller ID on the screen clearly showed: Jiang Zhenbang.
Lu Jingchen casually swiped to answer the call and held the phone to his ear.
Jiang Zhenbang’s excessively enthusiastic voice came from the other end of the phone, making the receiver buzz.
Jiang Zhenbang (telephone voice, laughing heartily):
"Brother Ning! You should have already registered at Jiangzhou University, right?"
"Are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner!"
"This is a special welcome dinner to celebrate your official entry into university!"
Lu Jingchen leaned back on the sofa, his tone indifferent, without the slightest ripple of emotion.
"I just arrived at the school and all the formalities were completed."
"Okay, see you tonight."
When Jiang Zhenbang heard that he had agreed, he was even happier and raised his voice by eight octaves.
"Alright! It's settled then!"
"I'll send you the hotel address later, see you there!"
Lu Jingchen casually replied and then hung up the phone.
He casually tossed his phone onto the coffee table, got up, walked to the French windows, and looked out.
The fire unicorn immediately dropped the sock from its mouth and ran over, rubbing against his trouser leg.
Lu Jingchen bent down and rubbed its head, a faint smile flashing in his eyes.
Jiang Zhenbang? It was just a favor done for him, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Time flew by, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
The early autumn sun was still dazzling, making one's scalp tingle.
Lu Jingchen, carrying a simple shoulder bag, walked calmly toward the gate of the boys' dormitory.
Under the shade of a tree not far away, Bai Yaohui had been squatting there for almost two hours.
Her eyes were wide open, like saucers, as she stared intently at the flow of people at the dormitory entrance, afraid of missing Lu Jingchen.
Upon seeing Lu Jingchen, he instantly became as energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Bai Yaohui immediately pointed ahead and shouted urgently to Bai Jingteng beside him:
"Second Uncle! Look! Isn't that him?"
"It's Lu Jingchen! There's no mistake!"
Bai Jingteng looked in the direction he pointed, his eyes narrowing slightly.
A glint flashed in his eyes, and his aura instantly surged.
Bai Jingteng spoke in a deep voice:
"Let's go take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, he strode forward with Bai Yaohui to meet them.
He moved sideways and blocked Lu Jingchen's path.
Bai Jingteng reached out a hand to stop him, a polite smile on his face.
"Young friend, please wait a moment."
Lu Jingchen stopped and coldly glanced at the two people in front of him.
His eyes were full of indifference, as if he were looking at two strangers.
Lu Jingchen spoke, his tone as cold as ice:
"Who are you people?"
"I don't think I know you."
Bai Jingteng immediately clasped his hands together and bowed to Lu Jingchen, behaving very politely.
"Please don't misunderstand, my name is Bai Jingteng, from the Bai family of Jiangnan."
"I stopped you today for no other reason than to inquire about Mr. Jiang Zhenshan's situation."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingchen's lips curled slightly, revealing a cold sneer.
He looked up at the two of them, his tone light and casual, yet carrying a powerful impact.
"You don't need to ask anymore."
"I've already killed him."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yaohui, who was standing next to him, gasped in shock.
His face turned pale instantly, as if he had seen a ghost, and he froze on the spot.
The CPU overheated and burned out completely; it took me ages to recover.
Bai Jingteng's pupils also shrank instantly, and the polite smile on his face froze.
His face was full of surprise and doubt, and his eyes changed instantly as he looked at Lu Jingchen, filled with disbelief.
The surrounding air froze instantly, and even the wind stopped.
Students passing by sensed something was wrong and quickly walked around it, afraid of getting into trouble.
Lu Jingchen didn't bother with their shock at all, and turned to walk around them towards the dormitory.
A fierce glint flashed in Bai Jingteng's eyes, and he gritted his teeth.
Without warning, he suddenly attacked, appearing behind Lu Jingchen in a flash.
Bai Jingteng let out a low shout, and his spiritual energy surged in his palm.
"Excuse me!"
His palm, carrying a sharp gust of wind, struck Lu Jingchen directly in the back like a heavy hammer.
This palm strike looked casual, but it contained the full cultivation of the fifth level of the Transformation Realm, clearly intended to test Lu Jingchen's strength.
But Lu Jingchen didn't even turn his head, as if he had eyes in the back of his head.
His tone was full of disdain, as if he were looking at a clown jumping around.
"Is that all you've got? You dare to test me?"
Lu Jingchen suddenly turned around, his right hand forming a sword shape with his fingers together.
He gently tapped the air in response to the palm strike from Bai Jingteng.
The close-up shot zoomed in, and a visible white burst of energy erupted from Lu Jingchen's fingertips.
Like a drawn sword, it charged straight at them with unparalleled force.
With a muffled thud, the surrounding air buzzed.
The two forces collided, and a powerful impact erupted instantly.
Bai Jingteng felt as if he had been hit head-on by a speeding train.
An immense force, utterly irresistible, surged wildly into his body through his palm.
Bai Jingteng groaned, almost spitting out blood, his eyes filled with horror.
"Hmm!"
He was so shaken that he staggered back seven or eight steps before he could barely regain his balance.
Each step left a shallow white mark on the hard cement floor.
Lu Jingchen slowly withdrew his fingers and stood with his hands behind his back.
Her clothes fluttered without wind, and her aura was serene, as if she had just dusted herself off.
Lu Jingchen's tone was icy, and his eyes were full of warning.
"Considering that you were only testing me and didn't intend to kill me."
"I'm only showing mercy and sparing your lives."
"If you dare to be so ungrateful again, it won't be so easy."
After saying that, he didn't even glance at the two of them, and turned and walked straight into the dormitory.
His back was straight and upright, without the slightest hesitation, leaving only two people frozen in place.
Bai Jingteng clutched his chest, panting heavily.
Desperately trying to calm the surging blood and qi within him, he stared at Lu Jingchen's departing figure, his face filled with shock.
Bai Yaohui rushed forward and helped him up, his face turning pale with anxiety.
"Second Uncle! Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
"This kid is too weird, isn't he? Just one finger and he shook you like this?"
Bai Jingteng waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, but his voice was still trembling slightly.
"That's incredible... How old is he?"
"He actually possesses such terrifying strength! If that finger strike just now was truly intended to kill him..."
"I'm afraid my hand is useless now."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yaohui was not afraid at all; instead, his eyes lit up as if he had discovered a treasure.
"That's right, Second Uncle! Think about it!"
"We originally sought out Jiang Zhenshan for the Seven Provinces Martial Arts Alliance Conference!"
"Now that Jiang Zhenshan is gone, Lu Jingchen is far superior to him!"
"If we can get him to fight for our Bai family, we'll be practically guaranteed victory in this Martial Alliance Tournament!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Jingteng instantly snapped out of his daze, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
He nodded thoughtfully, the shock on his face slowly turning into certainty.
"That's right. This young man is unfathomable; he is definitely a reclusive master."
"I was too rash just now, attacking right away, which was really rude of me."
He took a deep breath, a resolute look on his face.
"Let's go back first and have a proper discussion with your dad."
"We must win over such a person at all costs!"
"If we can get him to take action, not only will no one in the Martial Alliance Tournament dare to touch the Bai family again, but no one in the entire Jiangnan region will dare to do anything to us!"
Bai Yaohui nodded emphatically, his eyes filled with excitement.
The two glanced one last time in the direction of the boys' dormitory, then dared not linger any longer.
He turned and left in a hurry, his steps much faster than when he came.
They all knew that whether the Bai family could turn things around this time depended entirely on whether they could get on Lu Jingchen's good side.
