"You little rascal, what are you thinking about?"
Luo Tiance noticed Luo Yu was spacing out.
"Nothing." Luo Yu shook his head.
"Your dad, that damn bunny, I don't know where he's run off to. His leg finally heals, and he doesn't even come home." Luo Tiance said with dissatisfaction.
As for the fact that Luo Fan had fully recovered, there was never any intention of keeping it from Chen Long and Si She—their absolute loyalty was evident.
"It's okay, having Grandpa is enough." Luo Yu said with a smile.
"Hahahaha, you sure have a way with words, unlike your father—he can't fart a good one to save his life." Luo Tiance was full of disdain whenever he mentioned Luo Fan.
"Alright, you head off now. Grandpa still needs to hold down the fort at The Capital Base City. Otherwise, I would really have liked to see you off." Luo Tiance shook his head regretfully.
"It's not a problem, Grandpa." Luo Yu shook his head, "I know you do it all for the family and the nation."
Luo Tiance said gratified, "My grandson is so considerate."
"Don't worry, even if Grandpa can't see you off, if anyone dares to bully you once you get to Da Chuan Province, just give me a call, and I will be there in an instant to deal with them." Luo Tiance said with an imposing aura, truly illustrating what it means to be fiercely protective.
...
"Roarrrr——"
Within the Luo Family Manor, accompanied by a roaring sound, a luxurious and mighty fighter jet took off heading south, breaking through the clouds and vanishing into the skyline.
Along the way, whenever it encountered high-altitude circling ferocious beasts, a single shot would pulverize the flock, leaving not even ashes, a display of overwhelming power.
It was the latest air ace fighter jet developed in Great Xia.
All the onlookers and martial artists on the ground speculated whether a major incident had occurred that required rescue.
However, the sole purpose of this elite fighter jet journey was to take Luo Yu to school.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh——"
On the fighter jet, Luo Yu was making a call to Xiao Wu and her mother.
"The number you have dialed is switched off..."
Luo Yu raised his eyebrows, puzzled.
Strange, is she really that angry that she won't even contact me?
Otherwise, in this day and age, who can't be reached by phone, with solar charging available as long as there's sunlight?
He then tried to call Jia Lan.
This girl was now his woman. How could she not even call to check in when her man was leaving?
The moment the ringtone sounded, the call was connected.
Jia Lan's lively voice came through, "Hello, Brother Yu?"
"It's me." Luo Yu said.
"Brother Yu, I really wanted to see you off today, but I just couldn't get out of bed; I'm still bleeding." Jia Lan said with a tinge of melancholy.
"What?" Luo Yu's eyes widened, "How could it be that serious?" "You tell me?" Jia Lan replied with a question.
Luo Yu inwardly exclaimed his fault.
"Then you just rest up at home, and we can meet again when I get back."
"Okay." Jia Lan agreed readily.
This made Luo Yu feel that something was off; there wasn't even a hint of reluctance. Normally, shouldn't she be saying that she would miss him?
"By the way, where's Sister Lan? Why hasn't she made a peep, either?"
"Brother Yu, you're so greedy. You already have me, and you're still thinking about Sister Lan." Jia Lan chided.
Luo Yu momentarily found himself at a loss for words.
"I'm just sending a friendly greeting."
Jia Lan snorted lightly, "No need to explain, an explanation is just a cover-up."
"Hehe, I'm just teasing. Sister Lan is with me, taking care of me, so she couldn't see you off either."
"Are you disappointed not to see us?"
To be honest, he was a bit.
After all, for so many years, Luo Yu had mostly stayed at home, and he didn't have many friends to begin with.
But a man destined to be strong his whole life wouldn't just openly admit it.
"That's not the case, don't flatter yourself."
"Hehe, I bet Brother Yu isn't so heartless, you'll definitely miss me," Jia Lan laughed as she spoke.
"Huh? Is there some other noise on your end? Aren't you at home?" Luo Yu noticed a different sound.
"Nope." Jia Lan denied, "Brother Yu, you must have heard wrong, there's no other noise."
"Oops, the signal's getting bad, your voice is breaking up. Let's reconnect when you arrive." Luo Yu said.
"Beep—"
Before Luo Yu could speak, the call was disconnected.
He furrowed his brows.
Something felt off about that girl. She seemed secretive and mysterious.
Luo Yu opened the Wei Goose chat app and saw that the group for new students at Sichuan Province Martial University already had thousands of members engaging in lively conversations.
It seemed there was no air of arrogance characteristic of martial artists.
After all, everyone was in the same circle, and no one was putting on airs.
[Snowy Milky Lad: Brothers, fellow students, hello everyone, I am Cheng Jinjin from Jiangzhe Province. Please take good care of me after enrollment.]
[Qi Ye Yi Ci Lang: Cheng Jinjin? How rich is your family to add so many 'Jin' to your name?]
[Snowy Milky Lad: Brother, what eyesight, this is clearly a name borne out of poverty.]
[Bai Li Shou Lao Wang: I'm only concerned about one thing, are there many beauties in our school? This champion of Da Jiang Base City, I just broke up with my girlfriend, finding a new one should be easy, right?]
[Snowy Milky Lad: Brother, that's some username you have there, can you tell us how you broke up with the last one?]
[Dou Fu Ru: Easy to find a new one? Well, let me put it this way, Sichuan Province Martial University may lack in other areas, but it absolutely ranks first in the country, no, the world, in the number of beauties.]
[Bai Li Shou Lao Wang sent a shocked emoji: For real?!]
[Dou Fu Ru: Enough talk, see for yourselves!]
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Aboard the fighter jet, Luo Yu quickly saw Dou Fu Ru uploading several photos—all of the same woman. The moment he saw the pictures, Luo Yu took a deep breath.
An utterly unfamiliar woman, but breathtakingly stunning—in her eyes seemed the power to capture souls. Her figure was improbable for her age, a beauty to turn the world upside down. Even someone as composed as Luo Yu nearly lost himself in an instant.
