As New Year's Eve approached, Lou Cheng boarded a flight to America. After a long and bumpy flight, he finally arrived in Connecticut.
After passing the security check, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief and praised,
"You have the bearing of a great nation!"
After the Talin incident, they actually didn't deny him a visa. They didn't even find an excuse to deny him entry when all the necessary procedures were in place!
This is the demeanor of a great nation with confidence!
Lou Cheng let go of his hidden worries and his mood lightened. He followed the crowd and walked forward.
In the office of Homeland Security in Orion Airport, the person in charge of Connecticut looked at the computer in front of him, which was constantly emitting alarms. He picked up his cup of coffee, took a sip, and pretended to be calm.
"That bunch of idiots. F * ck them! Why did they give this guy a visa!" he cursed angrily after his tongue was scalded by the black coffee.
Who should I send to monitor an expert in the Terror Grade who was specially marked with the words "calamity" and "misfortune"?
Someone who's good at socializing and has outstanding eloquence? He'll definitely be discovered anyway!
Why did I send Smith to the Intelligence Bureau? If he was still around, everyone would be relieved!
The person in charge had a headache. After two minutes of thinking, he decided to consult his superior, the overall boss of the Connecticut area's intelligence, security, and investigation system, the arbiter of the local Terror Grade experts, the guardian of order, and the famous Odin of the New World, Mr. Gonzalez.
Without a doubt, he was also a veteran Terror Grade expert!
After the call went through, hearty laughter came from the other end.
"Little Charles, have you encountered a problem?"
"Yes, Your Excellency Gonzalez. Lou Cheng from China is here again," the person in charge, Charles, answered simply.
Gonzalez let out a long sigh.
"Too bad I'm on vacation. You know, I've accumulated a lot of vacations. I fully trust that you can handle this. Lou from China isn't an expert who ignores the law. It'll be easy to coordinate and communicate well."
"Yes, Your Excellency Gonzalez." Charles put down the phone and fell into a daze.
I just had dinner with him the day before yesterday …
I didn't hear him say he was going on vacation …
Covering his face with his hands, he calmed down for a few seconds before picking up the phone again. He called in an "agent", the one with the least experience and background.
…
Entering the arrival hall, Lou Cheng saw Ke at first glance.
After that, they hugged, held hands, smiled, and chatted as usual. From time to time, they would exchange some mushy words. It was only when they got into Du Yan's car that they restrained themselves.
After successfully arriving at Yan Zheke's residence in the North District of Connecticut, Lou Cheng held her hand and excitedly walked to the front of the house. He opened the door by himself.
At this time, Yan Zheke rolled her eyes and suddenly said,
"Oh, I forgot to tell you something!"
"What?" Lou Cheng heard the sound of the door unlocking and pushed the door open with a smile.
"My parents said they haven't spent the New Year with me for years, so they flew here yesterday to give me a surprise …" Yan Zheke pursed her lips, feeling both helpless and amused.
At the same time, the door opened. Empress Dowager Ji Mingyu, who was helping to clear the table, and Yan Kai, who was busy in the kitchen, came into view.
"Surprise …" The corner of Lou Cheng's mouth twitched. He quickly put on a smile and shouted,
"Auntie, Uncle."
"Lou, you're here. It's almost time for dinner. Go put your luggage down." Ji Mingyu smiled calmly. Yan Kai also turned his body, looked over, and nodded in greeting.
At this time, Yan Zheke leaned over and whispered in his ear,
"I've prepared a new room for you on the second floor."
"This …" Lou Cheng turned his head and looked at his wife. He smiled and said, "This is pretty good."
…
A week passed quickly. Lou Cheng boarded the flight to Wuyue Province.
Recalling the festive atmosphere and daily life of the past few days, he couldn't help but laugh and shake his head.
"Sometimes, sneaking around is also a form of pleasure …"
"But I can only stay for a few days. It'll be over before I know it …"
"The next time will be in October …"
In between, he could only rely on Ke to return home during spring break and summer break.
He came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Holding his phone, Lou Cheng looked out the window and watched the flight leave the ground.
At this moment, other than Yan Zheke, who was reluctant to part, many of the big shots in Connecticut felt much more relaxed. Gonzalez ended his holiday immediately and bid farewell to the beach filled with sunshine and beauties.
After staying with his master for a few days, Lou Cheng returned home for the fifteenth. Putting away his lazy and idle feelings, he embarked on the journey of the new year energetically.
On the day he returned to Huacheng, he didn't rest and went straight to the Longhu Club. With the help of the Volcano Laboratory, he tried out the new idea that came to him in the past month.
As the boss, and with his little fairy's instructions, he gave his assistant, Auman, and driver, Zhao Zhenhua, a big red packet each. In local terms, it was called profit.
After training and showering, Lou Cheng dried his hair. He asked Auman to ask if Empress Luo was in the office. After getting an affirmative answer, he went straight and knocked on the door.
"Sister Ning, Happy New Year." He pushed the door open and cupped his hands with a smile.
Ning Zitong was dressed in bright red but didn't look gaudy at all. Instead, it made her seem a few years younger.
"You don't have to be so formal. Didn't we just call to wish each other a happy New Year?" Ning Zitong fiddled with her bracelet and leaned back with a smile. "Tell me, what do you want to ask?"
"I'm considered proficient in the Fire Sect, but I can't fall behind in the Ice Sect. I wonder if the military has a place like the Polar Laboratory nearby. I can't possibly fly to Moshang twice a week, right?" Lou Cheng went straight to the point.
"There is. It's about a two-hour drive." Ning Zitong smiled. "You can look for your master for this. Why ask me?"
"There's no need to trouble two people with the same problem." Lou Cheng answered in a good mood after solving the problem.
"Hmm …" Ning Zitong pondered for a while and said, "Although the follow-up investigation on the Talin incident hasn't yielded any results yet, from the reaction of the Witch King, Ruoxin, to disappear without a trace, it's not a small matter. The military and America are preparing to work together to reconfirm the direction and expand the scope of the investigation. You've contributed quite a bit. After some discussion, we've decided to let you comprehend the Restriction Sect's Clear Jade Chapter in advance."
Wouldn't that make it seem too official? Lou Cheng wasn't mentally prepared at all. He blurted out in surprise.
"Just by looking at it now, I don't think my merits are enough, right?"
"You can't just look at yourself." Ning Zitong laughed. "Actually, this is to compensate your master. Back then, he refused to become a real member of the military or join the Longhu Club. That's why he couldn't practice the Restriction Sect Divine Arts. If we're just going by merits, he's more than enough to satisfy you 800 times. Since he's a stubborn master, I'll let his disciple take advantage of him."
Lou Cheng was stunned for a few seconds. Half surprised and half confused, he said,
"Judging from my master's appearance, he seems to be very interested in the Restriction Sect Divine Arts."
He can actually resist the temptation?
And from what he said to me, he doesn't seem to have any old-fashioned sect ideology …
Master doesn't seem very reliable usually. Who would've thought that he's the kind of elder who knows what to do and what not to do …
Ahhh … Geezer Shi, who was far away in Moshang, sneezed and muttered,
"Who's scolding me?"
Ning Zitong heard Lou Cheng's words and shook her head with a smile.
"That was before he was seriously injured. After his injury, he's gotten over many things. Besides, in the words of you youngsters, he's just a mouth cannon."
Lou Cheng didn't know how to respond to his master's teasing, so he could only reply with a smile.
"Alright, get ready. You'll go to the Capital in two days to comprehend," Ning Zitong explained with a smile. "The item isn't with us. Elder Mei is looking after it."
At this point, she sighed and said,
"I hope you can gain something. We might not be counting on the Dragon King for the opening match of this year's professional tournament."
"Is the Dragon King injured?" Lou Cheng guessed.
During the Spring Festival, the Dragon King had accepted the Warrior Sage's challenge for the Grandmaster title. After three tough battles, he had lost. At that time, Lou Cheng had thought that he might have fought too hard and gotten injured.
"A little, but it's not serious. But it's going to be the finals of the Supreme Class Battle soon. Given the Dragon King's ambition, he definitely won't give up. When the time comes, his injuries will most likely worsen. Seriously, the finals of the Grandmaster and Supreme Class Battle are arranged too close together!" Ning Zitong grumbled.
"Yeah." Lou Cheng nodded slowly. Then, he asked, "Sister Ning, are the match-ups for the professional tournament out yet? Who are we up against? "
"It's out, but it hasn't been announced yet." Ning Zitong rubbed her forehead and said, "In two weeks, as the defending champion of the World Number One, we will accept the challenge from the Guanwai League on our home ground."
God-Slaying Saber Lu Yongyuan … That was the first name that came to Lou Cheng's mind when he heard the Guanwai League.
Without the Dragon King, the club would probably be at a disadvantage …
Seeing that Lou Cheng was silent, Ning Zitong chuckled.
"Don't be too nervous. Lu Yongyuan is from the same generation as me. I don't think I'll lose to him. As for the others, uh, do you know? They have a new Physical Invulnerability expert. "
"Who is it? I haven't heard of anyone advancing recently. "Lou Cheng was confused.
"Not from China. She's from Japan. You know her, Kaori Karasawa," Ning Zitong said with a smile.
"You can invite a foreign Mighty One?" Lou Cheng asked in surprise.
I met her in Huacheng because of this?
I thought she was going to fulfill her promise and challenge the Priest. I even reminded that unreliable guy not to miss out on the peach blossom just because he was in a daze.
"There's no rule against it. It's just that as a special guest, Kaori Karasawa can't practice the martial arts of the Guanwai League. She can only fight with money. Yeah, I heard that her idea is to improve more through actual combat," explained Ning Zitong. Then, she smiled sweetly and continued, "This news has stirred up the media. There will be reports in a few days. I already know quite a few headlines, such as' Japan's Strongest Genius Admires Chinese Culture 'and' Beaten into submission, here to learn '. I can imagine the reaction from Japan. Kaori Karasawa must be under a lot of pressure."
Lou Cheng's doubts were gone. Leaning back, he smiled and said,
"It's not bad to have a rematch with her."
