Dragon Raja: The Divine Man Lu Mingfei

Chapter 20 My Heart and My Actions Are as Clear as a Mirror

"Her name is Chen Motong, and she's also an interviewer at Kassel College." Lu Mingfei noticed that Su Xiaoqiang was deliberately keeping her distance, but he didn't take it to heart. That's how ordinary people are; it's normal to fear God.

"Huh? She's an interviewer too?" Su Xiaoqiang's eyes widened instantly, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "She looks about our age!" The lively and energetic red-haired girl from just now was still in her mind, and she didn't look like someone who could be an interviewer at all.

"Aren't Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya also quite young? Why don't you find it strange?" Lu Mingfei felt that her focus was a bit off.

"That's different." Su Xiaoqiang shook her head and explained seriously, "Those two have a unique aura of working professionals. Although they look young, you can tell from their words and actions that they are definitely seasoned veterans in the workplace. But that girl just now didn't have that feeling at all."

"You know this?" Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoqiang in disbelief, not expecting her to have such insight.

"Nonsense, have you forgotten what my family does?" Su Xiaoqiang puffed out her chest proudly. "I've been involved in all sorts of business activities with my dad since I was little. The more people I met, the more I naturally learned. I've been exposed to this much more than you can imagine."

This conversation seemed to have eased some of the gloom in Su Xiaoqiang's heart, and she continued to ask:

"What were you and Chen Motong laughing about outside the restroom just now?" Su Xiaoqiang asked, but then quickly added, afraid that Lu Mingfei would misunderstand that she was checking up on him, "I noticed you hadn't come back for a while, so I went to the restroom to check on you. I found you two laughing like crazy. It was really creepy. Anyone who didn't know better would think you two were possessed."

"It's nothing, I just thought of some happy things," Lu Mingfei replied casually, clearly not intending to elaborate.

Seeing that Lu Mingfei had no intention of explaining, Su Xiaoqiang stopped asking, figuring she wouldn't get an answer anyway.

The elevator quickly reached the first floor. Lu Mingfei escorted Su Xiaoqiang out of the hotel, where Su Xiaoqiang's driver was already waiting for her at the hotel entrance. Upon seeing Su Xiaoqiang, the driver respectfully opened the car door.

Before leaving, Su Xiaoqiang asked Lu Mingfei, "Are you really not going to Kassel College? With your grades, that might be your only chance to study abroad."

Lu Mingfei neither nodded nor shook his head, but simply said, "As I said, it depends on their sincerity. If their principal is willing to transfer Kassel College to me, I will naturally not hesitate to do them a favor."

"Mingfei, listen to my advice. Having confidence is a good thing, but being too confident is arrogance." Su Xiaoqiang looked at Lu Mingfei speechlessly. She didn't know where Lu Mingfei got the confidence to ask a university president to transfer the school to him, but listening to Lu Mingfei's confident tone, she couldn't bear to hurt his self-esteem, so she could only give him this earnest advice.

"No rush, just wait and see, they'll agree." Lu Mingfei had a mysteriously confident smile on his face, as if everything was under his control.

Looking at him like this, Su Xiaoqiang had a million things to say, but she didn't know where to begin.

Finally, she could only shake her head helplessly, turn around, and get into her car. As the car slowly drove away from the Regent Hotel, she looked at the street scene rushing past the window and muttered to herself: Has Lu Mingfei really gone mad?

After seeing Su Xiaoqiang off, Lu Mingfei turned and returned to the hotel, where he saw Nuonuo chasing him downstairs. The red-haired little devil was leaning against the marble countertop at the front desk, her red hair gleaming under the crystal chandelier, arms crossed, looking like a fox waiting for its prey. Seeing him return, she immediately raised an eyebrow, her tone teasing:

"Oh, you've finished dropping off your girlfriend? I remember you were obsessed with that artsy girl named Chen Wenwen, weren't you? When did you get so close to another girl? Things are moving pretty fast!"

Lu Mingfei picked at his ear and retorted casually, "Looks like Kassel cares about me quite a bit, investigating even such trivial matters. Since they're so sincere, let me ask you, when are you planning to transfer the school to me?"

"Don't ask me, go ask the principal." Nono rolled her eyes, assuming he was talking nonsense again, and continued, "Besides, didn't you flatly reject Kassel's invitation? Even if the principal really wanted to step down, it wouldn't be your turn, you outsider, would it?"

"Oh, it seems Professor Guderian and the others didn't tell you." Lu Mingfei stopped and looked at her with a half-smile.

"What did you say?"

"I asked them to pass on a message to your school's principal," Lu Mingfei said casually, but it was like a boulder thrown into Nuonuo's heart, "I will agree to join as long as Kassel College is transferred to my name."

"Huh?!" Nono was genuinely shocked this time and almost lost her balance. This was outrageous! What was Kassel College? It was a dragon-slaying fortress hidden in the shadows of the world, a place countless hybrids would fight tooth and nail to get into, and he was actually asking them to transfer the entire college to him?

"No, do you even know what you're saying?" Nono's voice rose several decibels. "Do you think Kassel College is some kind of car or house? You can't just transfer it like that. Even if the principal were out of his mind and agreed, the board members behind the scenes would tear you to shreds if they heard what you said!"

After listening, Lu Mingfei looked at her with an extremely strange expression and slowly said, "Have you forgotten how your family disappeared?"

Nuonuo was taken aback, then suddenly remembered that she had just heard the news of the entire Chen family's disappearance last night, and she had even celebrated it.

Then she recalled that not long ago, in this very hotel, this seemingly ordinary boy had conjured up the head of the Chen family out of thin air right before her eyes, only to make him vanish without a trace in the blink of an eye. At the time, she was too busy arguing with him to think of it as some kind of high-level incantation, and hadn't considered the implications at all.

It wasn't until Lu Mingfei pointed it out that a horrifying truth became clear to her: the massacre of the Chen family was probably caused by this boy in front of her.

After figuring this out, Nuonuo felt no fear whatsoever; instead, she was filled with curiosity about Lu Mingfei. She couldn't understand what could have caused that previously unremarkable, even somewhat timid, kid at school to possess such power. What secrets did he hold?

Seeing that Nuonuo's expression changed, clearly indicating that she had figured out the cause and effect, Lu Mingfei spoke up at the right time: "If the school board members do not agree with me, it means they are the enemy. I will not be as gentle to the enemy as I am to your family."

"Gentle?" Nono thought about the Chen family, whose members had all disappeared, and questioned Lu Mingfei's choice of words.

"Isn't that gentle?" Lu Mingfei retorted, then explained, "I didn't kill them; I just threw them into a space where time stands still. They won't age, they won't die, and they won't be harmed in any way. Isn't that gentle?"

"Then you might as well just kill them all and be done with it." Nono really couldn't understand Lu Mingfei's thought process, and asked again, "Besides, you're already so strong, why don't you just use force to coerce Kassel College into submitting to you? Wouldn't that be simpler and more direct?"

"Why did you do that?" Lu Mingfei looked at Nuonuo with a puzzled expression, as if she had asked an extremely stupid question. "I'm a good person. Using force to coerce others into submission will damage my reputation. If word gets out, what will people think of me? They'll definitely say I'm a bully who preys on the weak."

"If the principals are willing to transfer the college to me, that's their own choice. I didn't force them; I just gave them a chance. But if I used force to coerce them, wouldn't that make me seem narrow-minded? That doesn't fit my image as a champion of justice," Lu Mingfei said emphatically.

"As for the group of school board members behind me, if they disagree with the principal's approach and want to attack me, then my preemptive strike to eliminate them would simply be self-defense. I can't wait for them to hurt me first before I retaliate, can I? That would be too stupid." Lu Mingfei's tone carried a hint of matter-of-factness.

At this point, Lu Mingfei's eyes became incredibly resolute. He seemed to be declaring his beliefs to the entire world, saying each word carefully: "In short, I, Lu Mingfei, am a champion of justice! My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror; everything I do is for the sake of justice! I will never tolerate those evil forces!"

"Got it, whoever opposes you is evil, right?" Nono finally figured out Lu Mingfei's thought process.

"What are you saying?! What are you saying?! How could you slander my innocence like this?!" Lu Mingfei was very dissatisfied with Nuonuo's act of revealing the truth in one sentence.

"Okay, okay, you're right. I'll always support your point of view. Whatever you say goes." Nono realized that arguing with Lu Mingfei about this kind of issue would only drive her crazy in the end, so she might as well go along with it and end the conversation quickly.
