This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome-Novel2

Chapter 48: Smacked Upside the Head

However, Lu Xuan quickly reeled in his emotions. No matter how powerful Yan Han and the Taichu Path were, they would not be reappearing in the near future, and he had sufficient time to make himself more powerful.

In his past life, he was able to kill Yan Han. In this life, he was more prepared, and his strength would also be greater. It went without saying that he would be able to kill this major enemy from his past life.

The most pressing issue at the moment was how to deal with the Luo family, who would retaliate soon, and Luo Ying, who was tracking him down.

“I didn’t want to get involved in a mess with the Luo family so soon, but it seems like it’s my destiny in the end!”

A cold light burst out from Lu Xuan’s eyes.

“It’s about time to sever this bond of enmity that has entangled us over two different lives!”

The best defense was a good offense, and he who took the initiative would gain the upper hand.

“Hey, son, you’re not listening to me, are you?!” Over the phone, Liu Wanrong noticed that Lu Xuan had not spoken for a while.

“Oh, it’s nothing, Mom. That Luo Ying actually is one of my ‘friends,’ but our relationship is not like what you are thinking, so don’t overthink it!”

Lu Xuan laughed. Regardless of what he was scheming inside, he maintained a carefree outer fa?ade.

“Right, I’m starting to miss you guys. I haven’t seen the both of you since I graduated. I’ll go buy a ticket later to visit you!”

Lu Xuan suppressed the strong emotions welling up inside him. The time since he last saw his parents was not as short as after his graduation; he had not seen in an entire lifetime.

“That’s fine, come home if you want to. I’ll go clean up a room, so you have somewhere to stay when you come later. Also, what would you like for supper? Mom will prepare it for you!” Although Liu Wanrong sensed he was acting strangely, she still immediately went along with it.

“Make whatever you want. Everything you make is delicious!” Lu Xuan answered.

“I know, right? I always say that your mother’s cooking can be compared to what those head chefs in hotels make, but your balding father doesn’t know how to appreciate it at all!” Over the phone, Liu Wanrong exclaimed excitedly, “Then I’ll be waiting for you. Give us a call when you arrive, and I’ll get dad to pick you up!”

“It’s alright, mom, I’ll just take a taxi over!” Lu Xuan replied.

Thinking about his home in Xia City, it had indeed been a long time since he went back. Although his family was from Fu City, because of his father’s job transfer, they moved to Xia City a long time ago.

Afterward, Lu Xuan got into a university in Fu City, which is why he split from his parents and returned to live alone.

“Okay, then I’ll hang up first!” Liu Wanrong said.

Putting down the phone, Lu Xuan had a frigid look in his eyes, as he shouted for Square-faced Fatso to come over.

“Mister Lu, what are your orders?”

When he was summoned, Square-faced Fatso practically dropped everything he was doing and rushed over obediently.

Lu Xuan said to him, “Previously, when your Chief invited me to join the Agency of Special Affairs as a consultant, he said that he would send experts to protect my family, didn’t he!”

Square-faced Fatso mulled over it. Such an offer did exist, and in truth, it was extended not only to Lu Xuan but to all the higher-ups in the organization.

After all, they were risking life and limb for their country, so if their families were also being threatened, that would simply be unreasonable.

“I want you all to send men to protect my family right now. I will give you the address later, so put men on a 24-hour guard duty rotation at once with no breaks in between!” Lu Xuan demanded.

“That’s fine, not a problem!” Square-faced Fatso quickly replied. Lu Xuan had just joined the force, and he had already captured a martial arts legend for the Agency of Special Affairs. With such a huge accomplishment under his belt, fulfilling his request was a small matter.

“Right, I’d also like you to keep tabs on someone’s whereabouts for me. Can you do that?” Lu Xuan continued.

“Who is it?” Square-faced Fatso wiped the smile off his face as he realized that there was something amiss here.

Judging by Lu Xuan’s expression, it seemed like the situation was serious. He had never seen Lu Xuan with such a look on his face before.

All the while, his impression of Lu Xuan was that he was relaxed and calm, able to easily take care of any kind of enemy.

It was as though there was no problem he could not solve.

“Luo Ying. I only a name now, but I can draw you a sketch of her later, then I’ll leave the rest to you. Help me find her at once. She should still be in Xia City!”

Lu Xuan answered.

“Not a problem!” Square-faced Fatso replied In a hurry. However, there was a faint whisper in the back of his mind. The name Luo Ying was a little familiar, and he wondered if it belonged to an old lady.

The very next moment, he recalled something, like a name he had once heard many ages ago, and a woman he had seen before.

Her name seemed to be Luo Ying.

If things were really turning out the way he was thinking, then there was going to be big trouble.

It would affect the relationship between the enormously powerful Luo family and the ruthless newcomer Lu Xuan.

“One more thing. Help me book a ticket for the earliest high-speed rail going to Xia City!” Lu Xuan requested.

“Not a problem, leave it to me!” Square-faced Fatso promptly replied.

“Okay, then I’m leaving at once!” Lu Xuan replied immediately.

“Mister Lu, the Chief is coming here. Aren’t you going to meet him?” Square-faced Fatso explained, “This capture of a martial arts legend has shaken up the entire agency, and it’s related to the incident with the traitor, so the Chief might want to meet with you!”

“I won’t meet him. No time!” Lu Xuan snapped. Right now, he was feeling extremely anxious, and he could not spare any time to meet these people.

Square-faced Fatso had a slightly pained smile. If anyone else dared to say such a thing, they would likely be smacked upside the head.

However, since the one saying it was this big shot, there was nothing he could say about it.

An hour later, Lu Xuan was on a high-speed rail train headed to Xia City. In two hours, Lu Xuan was stepping on Xia City soil.

It should be noted that the Agency of Special Affairs’ ability to gather intelligence was very frightening. As a special institution that dealt with incidents related to cultivators, they could get the cooperation of multiple parties when they needed to.

Combining the surveillance on the streets with information from various sources, the Agency of Special Affairs was quickly able to lock on to Luo Ying’s whereabouts.

Luo Ying was currently in one of the Luo family’s strongholds in Xia City, which also happened to be an expensive high-end villa.

Luo Ying seemed to not have received any news yet, as she had not made her move against Lu Xuan’s family.

However, Luo Ying probably never expected Lu Xuan to be so decisive. The moment he heard her name, he had set his heart on murder, coming all the way to Xia City from Fu City.

“Luo Ying, wait for me to come kill you!”

Lu Xuan clenched both of his fists tightly, as in a flash, he had disappeared into the darkness of the night. historical

At this point in time, Square-faced Fatso had also received the information on Luo Ying. He prepared himself for the worst, as the most terrible situation he could imagine had been realized.

That Luo Ying was actually the Luo Ying from the Luo family.

And as for the reason why Luo Ying had made her way down south to Min Province, he was also fully aware that it was because the legal son born to the Luo family—Luo Kun—had died in Fu City.

A month ago, this incident caused such a commotion that even their Agency of Special Affairs was buckling under the pressure. It was only later when they could not find the culprit that the case was dropped.

Still, the Luo family evidently had no intention of giving up and sent Luo Ying to investigate.

“Maybe Luo Kun’s death is related to Mister Lu!”

Based on the information he received from his contacts and Lu Xuan’s nervous countenance, Square-faced Fatso came to a sudden conclusion that even surprised himself.
