After Chu Zihang finished speaking, the room fell silent again. Nuo Nuo looked up at him, Lu Mingfei stared at him with wide eyes, and everyone in the room looked at him, as if Chu Zihang had just accomplished the feat of winning the Olympic championship for a country that had never won a gold medal in history.
"Senior brother, you are simply a genius!" After a moment of silence, Lu Mingfei burst into brilliant and warm applause for Chu Zihang.
"It's a very bold guess." Nuo Nuo also nodded and said to Chu Zihang, "But I have to say that this guess is quite possible. Even if it's wrong, at least it has opened my mind. If I analyze it in this way, there's a good chance that I can deduce the truth."
Nuo Nuo walked to the corner of the room, as if she would not give up until she figured out the matter. Lu Mingfei, on the other hand, didn't want to think about it anymore. After the analysis just now, he felt that he had already thought too much today and more than half of his brain cells had died.
Caesar glanced at Nono for a few times. He actually had a lot to say to Nono, but now might not be the right occasion. Moreover, whenever Nono entered this state, it meant that he did not want to be disturbed.
After thinking about it, Caesar came to Chu Zihang and leaned against the wall beside Chu Zihang's bed.
"Did you fight Odin head-on this time?" Caesar asked Chu Zihang in a low voice.
"That's not the real Odin." Chu Zihang shook his head and said, "That's my father, but Odin put on a mask."
"Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo said that your father's abilities after putting on the mask are almost comparable to those of the Dragon King." Caesar said, "What do you think?"
“Dragon King…” Chu Zihang’s eyes flickered a few times, as if he was thinking of a previous battle with a Dragon King. He then nodded, “It can be said that his combat power is almost at the level of a Dragon King, but it is definitely not as good as some Dragon Kings and Herzog who are good at fighting.”
"In other words, you also have the power to contend with enemies at the Dragon King level?" Caesar's voice sounded calm, with almost no emotional fluctuations, but the fluctuations in his eyes revealed that he was not completely calm.
"Confrontation?" Chu Zihang murmured. In addition to the battle scenes with Odin, his mind also recalled the battle scene with a dragon king who was given the title of "Earth and Mountain" more than a year ago.
“I can’t say I can fight him.” Chu Zihang shook his head. “For an enemy at the Dragon King level, I can only barely injure him. If he really wants to kill me, I will be killed easily.”
"Can it hurt a power at the Dragon King level..." Caesar's lips moved slightly, and he spoke in a voice that almost only he could hear.
"Oh, right." Chu Zihang seemed to remember something. He glanced at Caesar and said, "I can no longer enter the 'blood-blasting' state."
"What do you mean?" Caesar was stunned. "Can't enter 'Blood Rage'? Why? Didn't 'Dragon Blood Baptism' work? Is it a problem with your bloodline..."
"No, Caesar, my bloodline problem has been completely solved." Chu Zihang shook his head and said to Caesar, "It is precisely because my bloodline is no longer a problem that 'Blood Rage' cannot be used, because my bloodline is too stable, but..."
At this point, Chu Zihang suddenly stopped. He was about to say that with his current bloodline, the power he fully unleashed had already surpassed the strength of his "Third Blood Burst". However, Chu Zihang glanced at Caesar's expression out of the corner of his eye, and he abruptly stopped talking.
After a brief silence, Caesar nodded to Chu Zihang and said, "It's a good thing that the bloodline issue has been resolved. Congratulations on finding your father."
"Thank you." Chu Zihang was a little uncomfortable with Caesar's heartfelt congratulations, but he still nodded to Caesar to express his gratitude.
Caesar's eyes twitched twice, and he suddenly turned his head to face Chu Zihang, his tone more serious than ever before.
"I won't give up on considering you as my rival." Caesar whispered, "I admit that you have surpassed me now. I am not as good as you are now, but one day I will catch up with you and Lu Mingfei."
"Okay." Chu Zihang nodded. He was not good at saying encouraging words, and Caesar didn't need encouragement. Given the positions of Chu Zihang and Caesar, even if Chu Zihang sincerely encouraged Caesar, it might become a harsh mockery in the latter's ears.
After Lu Mingfei talked to Eiry for a few words, he temporarily handed Eiry over to Susie, Shude Aki and the others, and came to Chu Tianjiao.
"Uncle Chu, are you feeling okay now?" Lu Mingfei asked Chu Tianjiao.
"There's nothing wrong. It might be because I lost consciousness for too long. It's like sleeping for a very long time and having a very long dream. Suddenly waking up with a strong sense of unreality." Chu Tianjiao looked at Lu Mingfei and nodded, then said slowly, "But fortunately, at least my body doesn't feel rusty. I can eat, drink, and run. When I was young, your uncle Chu paid a lot of attention to health and fitness."
"Hmm... I can see that." Lu Mingfei glanced at the ridiculously large dumbbells, barbells and dragon frames in the gym.
"Thank you so much for this time." Chu Tianjiao suddenly became serious and spoke to Lu Mingfei in an extremely earnest tone.
"Uncle Chu, I've said it before, it's worth doing all this for a friend, not to mention that Senior Brother is not just an ordinary friend." Lu Mingfei said, "Senior Brother has helped me a lot, risking his life countless times. Without him, I wouldn't be able to get to where I am today. Uncle Chu, you are the most important person to Senior Brother, so I am willing to do anything for him."
"It's not just this time." Chu Tianjiao looked at the ceiling and sighed, "I was absent from my son's life for seven years... No, seven years ago I wasn't a competent father either. I made him bear too much that he shouldn't have to bear at his age. Even though he's sensible and independent enough, that's no reason for me to let him go. I owe this child a lot. I've always known that I owe him a lot since he was born."
"But fortunately, he still has friends like you. When he needed help the most, you were willing to lend a hand and give so much for him." Chu Tianjiao said to Lu Mingfei sincerely, "Otherwise, I would feel even more guilty about this child. Although what you did to him can't make up for my shortcomings, fortunately, he grew up safely and well. He has grown up well and become a responsible and capable man. As a father... even if I am an incompetent father, I am very relieved."
"You got it wrong, Uncle Chu." Lu Mingfei shook his head and said, "Senior Brother has always had his own principles and ideas. It's better to say that he taught me a lot than to say that we influenced him. Uncle, you have seen the original me, but we were not familiar with each other at that time. You don't know what kind of person I was at that time."
"What kind of person?" Chu Tianjiao asked following Lu Mingfei's words. He was not asking to get the question right, he was really curious about Lu Mingfei, this junior.
"It's not complicated, actually. It can be summed up in one word." Lu Mingfei smiled, "Bad boy."
“Bad boy?” Chu Tianjiao was stunned for a moment, and didn’t react for a moment. He looked up and down at Lu Mingfei and asked in disbelief, “Are you talking about yourself?”
“Yeah.” Lu Mingfei nodded. “I’m not lying to you, Uncle Chu. Many people don’t believe what I said, but I am really different from who I was before. At that time, I didn’t dare to confess my feelings to the girl I liked. Let alone confessing my feelings, I felt it was a great fate to be able to say a few words to her. In the class, I was the most typical negative example in the teacher’s eyes. Among my classmates, I was the one who helped run errands to buy water and bring things. At home, I was still at the bottom of the society. My aunt and cousin didn’t look down on me. My uncle wanted to help me a little, but his family status was not very high…”
Chu Tianjiao looked at the boy in front of him who was talking endlessly about the past. When talking about these embarrassing things in the past, Lu Mingfei's expression did not show any sadness or resentment. He looked indifferent and free and easy, as if he was just telling a story, a story that had nothing to do with him at all.
Chu Tianjiao suddenly remembered that when he met Lu Mingfei before, this boy always kept to himself. Every time he saw him, he was alone, with his eyebrows drooping, looking listless, and indeed it looked like the word "bad" was written all over his face.
It turns out that this kid really was that unlucky in the past, and he didn't lie. No wonder Chu Tianjiao couldn't remember it at all. Anyone who saw Lu Mingfei couldn't connect the cheerful boy who was full of energy and spirit with the hopeless boy who looked hopeless back then.
"Then how did you become what you are now?" After Lu Mingfei finished speaking, Chu Tianjiao asked another curious question, "In just a few years, you went from one extreme to another... I can't say it's extreme. You should understand what uncle means, because in your description, you did sound like a child who was not very popular, but now you are really outstanding. I am not exaggerating at all when I say that I have never seen a child like you. You are definitely the most talented and capable young person I have ever seen."
“Although I have changed a lot, uncle, please don’t praise me like that.” Lu Mingfei scratched the back of his head.
Before answering Chu Tianjiao's question, Lu Mingfei glanced at the other people in the room.
Ye Sheng, Jude Aki, Caesar, Nono, Finkel, Chu Zihang... and finally Eri.
“Uncle, you should understand my change.” Lu Mingfei retracted his gaze and looked at Chu Tianjiao, smiling at him, “When a person has someone he really wants to protect, someone who is worth his efforts, he will naturally become stronger. If he knows that the most terrifying thing in life is regret and remorse, he will do everything for the one he loves, even if it means sacrificing his life.”
Chu Tianjiao's expression was somewhat moved, because of Lu Mingfei's words, Chu Tianjiao was deeply touched. He had been protecting Chu Zihang and his mother until now, so he had been watching over this city, fearing that others would treat them badly, and he dared to fight with a sword even when facing an enemy like a "God".
"I understand." Chu Tianjiao nodded. He glanced at Hui Liyi and said to Lu Mingfei meaningfully, "Chu Zihang should have told you about me and his mother. Your girl is very beautiful. I can see that she loves you and depends on you very much. Cherish your lover and don't live like your uncle, a failure."
"Uncle, you are not a failure at all." Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked at the photo wall in the room. Finally, his eyes fell on Chu Tianjiao's slightly weathered and slightly bitter face. "We all know what you have done for Aunt Su and for Senior Brother. You are not a coward, nor a loser. Everyone has his own position and his own way of living. When people live in this world, they will be forced to lose many choices by many things. At least in the eyes of me and Senior Sister, you have done the best within the scope of your choice."
"Some things are more about deeds than intentions." Chu Tianjiao shook his head, his tone still low, "As a man, what could be more important than giving your wife and children a good life? I didn't do it, and even hurt them. Do I need to refute my failure?"
"No." Lu Mingfei said suddenly.
"What?" Chu Tianjiao was stunned.
"I said no, uncle." Lu Mingfei shook his head and said in a very serious tone, "For a man, your love for Aunt Su and Brother has surpassed the inherent possessiveness of human nature. This is something that most people in the world cannot do. I think you are amazing, from the bottom of your heart."
Chu Tianjiao looked a little stunned and didn't react for a moment. He admired Lu Mingfei very much, but why did he suddenly express his admiration for him?
“I’m serious, Uncle Chu. After coming to your room and knowing everything about you, I admire you from the bottom of my heart. You are not a failure at all, at least I think so.” Lu Mingfei looked into Chu Tianjiao’s eyes and said firmly, “So I helped Brother find you without hesitation. Now he also understands your approach. You can’t be alone in this world. Aunt Su and Brother are important to you, and you are also important to Brother.”
Chu Tianjiao was silent for a long, long time, until the wrinkles on his slightly weathered face trembled slightly.
"Thank you, kid." Chu Tianjiao tried his best to hide the trembling in his voice. "Although it may seem hypocritical to say this, it's really been a long time since anyone has said this to me."
"It's not just me. Eri and the other seniors also understand you and even admire you. You are a great man." Lu Mingfei said to Chu Tianjiao, "If Aunt Su knew the truth, she would definitely understand you and everything you have done for her."
Chu Tianjiao's eyes twitched twice, then quickly returned to silence.
"No, I won't let her know." Chu Tianjiao shook his head, his tone revealing an inexplicable firmness. "She is living a good and happy life now, without worries or dangers. I can't give her such a life, so I won't disturb her current life."
Looking at Chu Tianjiao's expression, Lu Mingfei just sighed silently in his heart.
Chapter 1106: My Son’s Future Life
There is a saying that even a judge cannot judge family affairs. No matter how he faces Su Xiaoyan and Chu Zihang, it is Chu Tianjiao's own choice. Lu Mingfei has no position and no way to say anything about his choice.
Besides, as for Su Xiaoyan, it is obviously not a good idea to leave her current husband Lu Tianming and reconcile with Chu Tianjiao. Regardless of whether the broken mirror can be reconciled, at least what Chu Tianjiao said makes sense. Su Xiaoyan's life is very happy now. She accepts and enjoys her current life. So why should she give up her happy life because of a person she once loved and a past that she has already let go?
People can criticize others for being selfish, but they have no right to stop others from making sacrifices for the ones they love.
So Lu Mingfei didn't continue discussing this topic with Chu Tianjiao.
"Mingfei." Chu Tianjiao suddenly waved to Lu Mingfei, obviously looking like he had something private to discuss with Lu Mingfei.
"What's wrong, Uncle Chu?" Lu Mingfei came over with a confused expression.
Chu Tianjiao raised one arm, hooked it around Lu Mingfei's shoulder, and put Lu Mingfei's head close to his ear, looking like a good brother.
"Ming Fei." Chu Tianjiao lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Has my kid done anything in these years?"
“What?” Lu Mingfei was stunned, with confusion in his eyes.
"It's just...well, you know." Chu Tianjiao looked at a girl in the room and frowned at Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei followed Chu Tianjiao's gaze and found that the girl Chu Tianjiao was looking at was Su Qian. Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked at Chu Tianjiao's expression. He instantly understood what Chu Tianjiao meant.
"Uncle Chu, are you asking if my senior brother has a girlfriend?" Lu Mingfei suddenly realized.
"Ahem, not necessarily a girlfriend." Chu Tianjiao coughed twice and whispered, "Someone who is developing a relationship with someone also counts, even if it's someone you like or have a crush on but hasn't confessed to yet. Mingfei, you are so familiar with that kid in my family, he should have revealed some of these things to you, right?"
Lu Mingfei understood. This was what Chu Tianjiao meant. But it was normal. He hadn’t seen his son for so many years. Chu Tianjiao was relieved and pleased to know that his son was doing well, healthy and safe, and had become a good enough person. So the next thing he should care about was the adult gossip...his own child’s emotional issues and his future daughter-in-law.
"This... that..." Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said truthfully, "Senior Brother does have a girlfriend."
“He really has a girlfriend!” Chu Tianjiao’s eyes almost glowed when he heard Lu Mingfei’s words. “I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you! My intuition is pretty accurate, especially in this kind of thing. That guy looks depressed, but he must be the type who is cold on the outside but hot on the inside!”
Cold on the outside, but hot on the inside... Would anyone really describe their own son like this? Lu Mingfei was a little shocked.
"How many girls has my boy played with?" Chu Tianjiao asked Lu Mingfei with interest.
"One... just one." Lu Mingfei was a little at a loss, thinking, don't you know that your son has such a stubborn personality, how many times can he have a relationship?
Just this time, the girl took the initiative to approach him. Otherwise, when will this blockhead finally come to his senses?
"One?" Chu Tianjiao seemed a little dissatisfied with the answer at first. He touched his chin and comforted himself, "One... it is indeed a little less, but it is not a big problem. This kid is loyal, like me. The genes of our Chu family are quite reliable."
Your Chu family should really be grateful that Xia Mi showed up and took the initiative towards Chu Zihang, otherwise your Chu family would have been extinct... Lu Mingfei complained silently in his heart.
"Is that girl pretty?" Chu Tianjiao asked Lu Mingfei curiously.
"Beautiful." Lu Mingfei nodded and answered straightforwardly.
There is nothing to worry about. It is generally acknowledged that Xia Mi is pretty. She even topped the list of pretty girls in Lu Mingfei's mind... and she also topped the list in the minds of many boys in Kassel College.
Hybrids are inherently better looking than ordinary people, because their dragon bloodline has improved the defects in human genes to some extent... not to mention pure-blooded dragons, which are simply a dimensionality reduction attack against ordinary people.
“How beautiful is it?” The light in Chu Tianjiao’s eyes flashed again. It was not the light of a tomb robber seeing treasure, but more like a mad scientist who found a subject that excited him.
“How beautiful is she…” Lu Mingfei thought for a moment and gave a fairly appropriate example, “She’s probably the Chinese equivalent of Sophie Marceau…but a young Sophie Marceau, the peak version.”
"Hiss!" Chu Tianjiao took a deep breath and said with his eyes wide open, "That must be a fairy! Is she really that beautiful? Mingfei, do you know the charm of Sophie Marceau?"
"It's not an exaggeration at all." Lu Mingfei nodded, his tone quite serious.
"How could he fancy such a pretty girl... No, that boy in my family is not bad either. The genes of our Chu family are also great." Chu Tianjiao's eyes rolled around, and he continued to ask Lu Mingfei, "Is that girl your classmate?"
"Yes, I'm a freshman at Kassel College and will be a sophomore soon." Lu Mingfei nodded and said, "I'm also the president of the freshman association."
"You have skills!" Chu Tianjiao gave a thumbs up, and his interest in this girl grew stronger and stronger. "What does this girl do at home?"
"Home..." Faced with this question, Lu Mingfei was a little overwhelmed. Looking at Chu Tianjiao's expectant eyes, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Home... I only have one younger brother, and he's not very smart."
"Oh, there are some issues here, right?" Chu Tianjiao pointed to his head and sighed, "There are no adults in the little girl's family, right? This is quite pitiful. It's not that I'm snobbish. Mingfei, you should know that the original family has a great influence on a child. But if the little girl herself is a good person, these are not a problem."
"Junior sister is a nice person, young, lively and warm-hearted." Lu Mingfei tried to make a good impression on Xia Mi in front of Chu Tianjiao. "All the classmates who know her like her. Otherwise, she wouldn't be the president of the freshman association, right? And she wouldn't be able to make senior brother so obsessed with her."
"Wow! She has even bewitched my son!" Chu Tianjiao couldn't help but laugh out loud, "This little girl is so charming!"
The commotion here attracted several gazes in the room. Chu Zihang and Su Qian also looked over here. Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a little tingling on his scalp and quickly pressed on Chu Tianjiao's shoulder.
"Uncle, calm down. The corners of your mouth are about to reach the back of your ears!" Lu Mingfei reminded.
"Oh, I haven't seen my son in so many years. When he woke up, he found out about this huge news. I couldn't calm down for a moment." Chu Tianjiao waved his hand at Lu Mingfei and said, "Okay, okay, I'll calm down. But since you said that girl is a classmate of yours at Kassel Academy, she must be a mixed-blood, right? What's her bloodline rating?"
"'A' grade." Lu Mingfei said.
“That’s pretty good.” Chu Tianjiao nodded in the affirmative. After all, an “S” grade evaluation was extremely rare, and an “A” grade in Kassel Academy was already the undisputed best among the students.
"But, Junior Sister's 'A' rank is a bit..." Lu Mingfei was about to say something, but stopped talking here, "It's okay, Junior Sister is pretty powerful. I can't say powerful, but I should say fierce. She assisted me in completing many missions. She really helped me a lot."
"So capable!" Chu Tianjiao's eyes changed, "Xiaolu, you are not on good terms with them, so you keep praising that girl to me, right?"
“I swear I definitely didn’t!” Lu Mingfei made a swearing gesture, “Uncle Chu, you will definitely fall in love with Junior Sister when you see her, I can guarantee it!”
"Okay! Uncle believes you!" Chu Tianjiao put his arm around Lu Mingfei's shoulders. "Well...well...I have another question. Does my kid's mother know this girl?"
"Aunt Su, she has seen Junior Sister." Lu Mingfei nodded and said, "Junior Sister has been to Senior Brother's house."
"They've taken them home! This is really a fast progress!" Chu Tianjiao said with emotion, "What's my kid's mother's attitude towards that girl? Does she like her?"
"Aunt Su likes Junior Sister quite a lot." Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered something, "I still remember that when Junior Sister went to Senior Brother's house for the first time, Aunt Su didn't know about their relationship and even said that she wanted to recognize Junior Sister as her sister."
“Hahahahahahahaha!!!” Chu Tianjiao burst into laughter. He covered his belly and said, “What’s going on here? Isn’t this a complete difference in generations?”
Chu Tianjiao glanced sideways and saw Chu Tianjiao's laughing expression. He didn't know what Lu Mingfei and Chu Tianjiao talked about to make Chu Tianjiao so amused. He might be able to guess, but seeing this scene, he was quite relieved. Now there was still a sense of unreality. Even with Chu Zihang's personality, he had not yet recovered from the feeling of regaining his father's loss.
It turned out that Dad had returned, and he was still the same Dad as he was seven years ago. He knew this man's forbearance, this man's dedication, this man's responsibility and courage, this man's unspeakable grievances... Everything was different from what he knew seven years ago, but this man's love for him and his mother had never changed no matter how long it had been.
"It's been seven years..." Chu Zihang murmured as he looked at the wall of photos in the room.
"Senior Brother...Senior Brother!" Lu Mingfei's voice rang in Chu Zihang's ears.
Chu Zihang turned his head and found that Lu Mingfei had come to his side from Cong Chu Tianjiao's side without him knowing when.
"What's wrong?" Chu Zihang asked Lu Mingfei.
“Uncle Chu has too many questions, and I really don’t know how to answer some of them. Let you go first, senior brother.” Lu Mingfei looked a little embarrassed.
"What's the problem?" Chu Zihang asked.
“Yes… oh, brother, you’ll know after you talk to Uncle Chu.” Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes.
