Chapter 26: College Entrance Examination Over, Jiangzhou University is Established!
living room of the rental house
The door was gently pushed open, and Lu Jingchen stepped in.
Just as I put my schoolbag down, a figure rushed over.
Lu Qingyuan suddenly jumped up from her chair and rushed to him in a few steps.
His eyes were wide open, and his tone was full of barely suppressed urgency.
"Brother! You're finally back!"
She stared intently into Lu Jingchen's eyes, her palms clenched so tightly they were sweating.
"How did the test go? Were the questions difficult? Were there any questions you couldn't answer?"
A barrage of questions, like a machine gun.
Lu Jingchen couldn't help but laugh as he watched his younger sister running around in circles in a panic.
"Don't worry, I performed normally, nothing unexpected happened."
Lu Qingyuan breathed a long sigh of relief and patted her chest hard.
"That's good, that's good. You scared me to death."
"I've been so anxious all day, afraid you'll mess up in the exam."
Lu Jingchen reached out and gently rubbed her head, his tone tender.
"Don't just keep asking me what score you got on the last citywide mock exam?"
Lu Qingyuan immediately raised her head, her chin held high.
Her face radiated an undeniable pride, and her eyes crinkled with laughter.
"Around 650 points!"
Lu Jingchen nodded in satisfaction, his eyes full of approval.
"That's great, you've made significant progress."
Lu Qingyuan's eyes lit up instantly, filled with hope.
"My teacher said that with these grades, my chances of getting into Jiangzhou University are extremely high!"
Seeing her swaying happily, Lu Jingchen made a decision in an instant.
He thought to himself:
Jiangzhou University is close to home, and it's also close to this girl, which is perfect.
His gaze instantly hardened.
Regardless of my score, I'm going to Jiangzhou University.
Lu Jingchen smiled and pinched her cheek.
"Let's have an extra meal tonight to celebrate our successful completion of the exams."
Lu Qingyuan cheered instantly and jumped high in the air.
"Yay! I want braised pork! The fatty kind, though!"
Lu Jingchen smiled indulgently and readily agreed.
"Okay, whatever you say. You stay home and wait, I'll go downstairs to the market to buy groceries."
After saying that, he turned around, pushed open the door, and went out.
Streets outside the residential area
The streets were bustling in the afternoon, filled with residents buying groceries and taking a stroll.
Lu Jingchen walked slowly, glancing back at the dilapidated residential building behind him.
He pondered silently in his heart:
Qingyuan is growing up, and it's really not appropriate for her to always squeeze into this single room with me.
He frowned, his eyes full of disdain.
Moreover, this dilapidated single room is too small; there's not even room to turn around.
They can't even set up a proper training room.
Lu Jingchen stopped in his tracks, his eyes instantly turning sharp.
We have to buy back the old house.
That was a keepsake left by her parents, and it was time to give Qingyuan a stable home.
He reached into his pocket and sighed inwardly.
I'm a bit short on cash right now; I've already spent most of the one million I had before.
Lu Jingchen shook his head, a resolute glint in his eyes.
Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with those ways to make money.
It's time-consuming and troublesome.
He gently flipped his palm, and a flash of inspiration appeared at his fingertips.
It felt as if I was holding a warm, invisible piece of jade in my palm.
He muttered to himself, "I might as well take a piece of high-grade spirit jade and sell it."
"Any piece of land like that is enough to buy a nice house."
Having figured it out, he stopped worrying about it.
I quickened my pace and headed towards the nearby farmers' market.
Inside the vegetable market
Lu Jingchen stood ramrod straight in front of the fresh produce stall.
She was already carrying a large bag of ingredients, which was completely full.
The best pork belly, ribs, fresh green vegetables, and strawberries that Lu Qingyuan loves.
He pointed to the lively bass in the tank.
"Boss, I'll take this fish too. Please clean and prepare it for me."
living room of the rental house
A simple folding table was laden with a table full of dishes.
Braised pork belly, steamed sea bass, cola chicken wings, and two stir-fried seasonal vegetables.
Under the dim light, the food steamed, warm and comforting.
Lu Jingchen picked up a piece of braised pork that had been stewed until tender and put it into Lu Qingyuan's bowl.
"Eat more, you've lost weight lately."
Lu Qingyuan's mouth was glistening with oil, and her cheeks were bulging.
"Brother, what you made is so delicious! You should try some!"
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of fish, carefully removed the bones, and held it to Lu Jingchen's lips.
Lu Jingchen smiled and opened his mouth to catch it, his eyes filled with undisguised doting affection.
"Okay, okay, eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."
Seeing his younger sister's bright smile, Lu Jingchen's heart melted completely.
All the previous killing and violence vanished without a trace at this moment.
At the entrance of Zhao Family Mansion
As night deepened, a black Bentley slowly pulled up in front of the villa.
The car door was pushed open, and a foot wearing a black military boot slammed heavily onto the ground.
A burly man wearing a black, tight-fitting vest stepped off the car, his body bulging with muscles.
Standing nearly two meters tall, he resembled an iron tower, radiating a fierce aura that kept strangers at bay.
The other car door opened, and a woman wearing a red, slit dress stepped out.
She had a slender figure, fiery red lips, and captivating charm in every glance.
But a hint of coldness, inconsistent with his appearance, was hidden in his eyes.
The two exchanged a glance and walked side by side toward the villa gate.
Their footsteps were silent, yet carried a suffocating sense of oppression.
Zhao Family Mansion Living Room
Ding-dong—
The shrill doorbell shattered the oppressive silence in the living room.
Zhao Hongye sat in the main seat of the sofa, expressionless.
"Qiang, go open the door."
The bodyguard standing by immediately responded and quickly stepped forward to open the door.
The burly man and the glamorous woman strode into the living room.
The glamorous woman glanced around the luxurious living room, her gaze finally settling on Zhao Hongye.
She covered her mouth and giggled sweetly, her voice so soft it could melt water.
"Boss Zhao, your mansion is truly magnificent."
Zhao Hongye's face was devoid of any smile as his cold gaze swept over the blood-red tattoos on the two men's wrists.
"Are you from the Blood Fiend Pavilion?"
The burly man snorted coldly, took out a blood-red token from his pocket, and showed it to him.
The token was engraved with a ferocious skull and exuded a bloody aura.
Zhao Hongye nodded and didn't say anything more.
He picked up a file folder from the table and handed it over.
"This is all the information on the target person."
The glamorous woman reached out and took the file bag, casually flipping through it.
The burly man also moved closer and glanced down at it.
On the first page of the document was a photo of Lu Jingchen in his school uniform, looking quite young and inexperienced.
The glamorous woman raised an eyebrow, her eyes full of surprise.
"Oh? Still a high school student?"
The burly man frowned instantly and spoke in a gruff voice.
His tone was full of disdain and anger at being offended.
"Boss Zhao, are you kidding us?"
"You need our Blood Fiend Pavilion to kill some high school student who hasn't even grown his first hair yet?"
Zhao Hongye's face darkened, and he spoke in a deep voice.
"Don't underestimate him. He's not an ordinary high school student; he's a tough guy who knows magic."
The glamorous woman's eyes lit up instantly, and she stuck out her tongue to lick her red lips.
A glint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Knows magic? That's interesting."
Zhao Hongye's tone became serious as he spoke, enunciating each word clearly.
"He not only knows magic, but is also proficient in exorcism and setting up formations; his methods are quite formidable."
His eyes flickered as he frantically calculated in his mind:
The fact that he injured that old bastard Su Zhennan from a distance must never be mentioned.
If they knew that this kid could cast such an unsolvable death curse, they would probably either raise the price on the spot or not dare to make a move at all.
Upon hearing this, the burly man let out a sneer, his face full of disdain.
"So what if I know a little bit of magic?"
"Before our Blood Fiend Pavilion, they are all nothing but ants, utterly insignificant."
A sinister look instantly appeared on Zhao Hongye's face.
"Then I'll leave it to you two."
"If you can take care of this kid, I'll double the final payment after it's done."
