68.2: Intercepting the Junior Martial Aunt of the Son of Destiny!

Came down from mountain for training?

Lu Fei looked at this silly girl and didn’t expect her to have some skills!

“Well, where is your little nephew? Do you remember his phone number?”

Lu Fei continued to ask.

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s question, Shi Qiuyun suddenly stopped gnawing on the spare ribs, looking pitiful as she said, “I don’t know. I had my little nephew’s phone number stored in my cellphone, but it was stolen on the train. That despicable thief even took all my money!”

As she mentioned the thief, a flicker of anger flashed in Shi Qiuyun’s eyes. Her little face wrinkled, giving her a fierce and defiant look!

Lu Fei looked at this silly girl and was rendered speechless. 

How could they have been so careless and let her take the train alone to the city without proper arrangements?

Suddenly, Lu Fei felt that those swindlers were actually kind-hearted. 

If they were truly malicious, they could have easily deceived this naive girl into some remote mountain area and made her count money for them.

“What is your name? You must at least know that!” 

Lu Fei asked, looking at this girl who seemed to be clueless about everything.

“I know that! My name is Shi Qiuyun!” 

Finally, Shi Qiuyun found a question she could answer, and her face lit up with joy.

“Ah, you’re Shi Qiuyun… Wait a minute, you’re Shi Qiuyun?” 

Suddenly, a realization struck Lu Fei, and he exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing Lu Fei’s exaggerated reaction, Shi Qiuyun became puzzled.

“Good brother, do you know me?” she asked, not understanding why Lu Fei had such a strong reaction to hearing her name.

“Oh, no, I don’t. I just found your name, particularly your surname, to be quite rare. That’s all,” Lu Fei casually replied, trying to brush off the question.

“Oh!” Shi Qiuyun nodded, still unsure. She then shifted her attention back to the food on the table.

Her master had taught her not to waste food. 

She had to eat it all!

As Lu Fei watched Shi Qiuyun diligently devouring her food, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Alright!

All the female leads from the original story are here and alive.

He hadn’t forgotten about Shi Qiuyun.

In the original story, she had the best talent and even surpassed the male lead, Lin Ran, in martial prowess.

Now Lu Fei understood why he had encountered Lin Ran at the entrance of the Hilton Hotel. 

He was looking for Shi Qiuyun.

Recalling the timeline, although the plot had changed significantly, this was indeed the time when Shi Qiuyun was supposed to come down from the mountain for training.

Looking at this silly girl enjoying her braised spare ribs, Lu Fei couldn’t help but marvel. She was the same Shi Qiuyun who could overpower Lin Ran.

Since Lu Fei had encountered Shi Qiuyun here, he naturally wouldn’t give Lin Ran any chance to meet her.

He couldn’t afford to let Lin Ran have even the slightest opportunity.

The destined male lead in the novel was just like that. As long as you couldn’t kill him, the protagonist’s aura would still exist.

He would be like a centipede, never truly dead.

He would always encounter opportunities in strange places, either soaring to the sky or seizing the chance to deliver a fatal blow.

While watching Shi Qiuyun focus on her meal, Lu Fei pondered in his mind what methods he could use to prevent Shi Qiuyun from coming into contact with Lin Ran.

“Are you full?” 

“Almost!” 

After devouring the last piece of spare rib, Shi Qiuyun looked at the food on the table with a hint of nostalgia.

Seeing this scene, Lu Fei couldn’t help but smirk.

Impressive.

He wondered if Shi Qiuyun’s ability to eat so much without gaining weight would cause envy and jealousy among other women if it were to spread.

……………………………………………………..

With so much food, Lu Fei wondered where Shi Qiuyun had managed to store it all.

“Stop eating, it’s not good for your health to eat so much at night!” 

Lu Fei said, not because he couldn’t bear the expense, but because he was genuinely concerned that Shi Qiuyun might overeat and feel uncomfortable.

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s words, Shi Qiuyun hesitated, reluctant to part with the remaining food on the table.

“Good brother, my master told me that wasting food is not good. Can I finish eating before we leave?” 

Shi Qiuyun looked at Lu Fei with hopeful eyes, her gaze still fixed on the direction of the table.

Hearing Shi Qiuyun’s plea, Lu Fei let out a sigh.

“Go ahead and eat!”

With Lu Fei’s permission, a happy smile appeared on Shi Qiuyun’s face.

“Thank you, Good brother!”

Lu Fei had only read about Shi Qiuyun’s large appetite in the original story. 

Therefore, Lin Ran had once silently complained about his junior martial aunt’s eating habits.

However, Lu Fei had never witnessed Shi Qiuyun’s actual eating capacity before.

He watched as Shi Qiuyun devoured the remaining food with astonishing speed.

Lu Fei stood up, preparing to go and pay the bill.

But before he could take a few steps, suddenly, a nervous voice came from behind him.

“Good brother, do you dislike me for eating too much? 

“I can eat very little, I’m not usually like this!”

Lu Fei paused, looking at the dropped spoon, and then at Shi Qiuyun with a worried expression.

His face softened, and he smiled gently.

“I’m just going to pay the bill, I didn’t mean to make you feel that way. You keep eating, I’ll be back soon!”

With those words, Lu Fei reassured Shi Qiuyun and headed toward the cashier.

“Oh, really? Then wait for me, I’ll finish quickly!”

Shi Qiuyun took two big mouthfuls and directly shoveled half a bowl of food into her mouth, filling it up completely.

With her mouth full, she mumbled, “guud brotha.. (good Brother)… olmosht do.. (I’m almost done)…”

Watching Shi Qiuyun’s antics, Lu Fei couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Alright, take your time, no rush!”

Lu Fei accompanied Shi Qiuyun to the hotel entrance and settled the bill.

“Do you have a place to sleep?”

As Lu Fei walked ahead, he suddenly spoke up.

He noticed that Shi Qiuyun seemed a bit downcast and shook her head when asked if she had a place to sleep.

“No, I don’t.”

…………………………………………….

Then, she turned her gaze towards Lu Fei, looking at him with hopeful eyes.

“Good Brother, you are a good pers… good brother. Can I sleep at your place? I’m not dirty, and I won’t take up much space. Just a little bit of floor to sleep on is enough!”

While speaking, Shi Qiuyun nervously grabbed onto the hem of Lu Fei’s clothes.

 As if she was afraid he would refuse.

Upon hearing Shi Qiuyun’s words, Lu Fei was at a loss for words. 

I hadn’t even thought of a reason to fool you.

 And here you are, afraid that I would abandon you.

Now I don’t even have to come up with an excuse.

Lu Fei looked into Shi Qiuyun’s eyes and smiled as he said, “Why would you want to sleep on the floor when you can sleep on a bed?”

“Huh?”

Shi Qiuyun hadn’t yet grasped the meaning behind Lu Fei’s words, but suddenly, she seemed to realize something. A joyful smile appeared on her face, and she happily asked, “Good brother, did you agree?”

Shi Qiuyun trailed behind Lu Fei, filled with excitement.

“Let’s go, it’s getting late. It’s good for our health to sleep and wake up early!”

Lu Fei and Shi Qiuyun left the restaurant, heading towards Lu Fei’s home.

Lu Fei walked towards his Bentley and turned back to Shi Qiuyun.

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s words, Shi Qiuyun nodded in agreement.

“Yes, my master also told me the same thing. It’s good for our health to sleep and wake up early!”

She followed Lu Fei and got into the car.

During the journey, Shi Qiuyun eagerly looked out the window, observing the passing street scenes with curiosity in her eyes.

Finally, they arrived at the location of the high-end apartment. Lu Fei parked the car and led Shi Qiuyun upstairs.

The apartment he rented was originally a three-bedroom, one-living room space, so it was no problem for the two of them to live together.

“You can stay in this room, the bathroom is inside!”

Lu Fei pointed to the innermost room. Basic necessities were already available, so there was no need for Lu Fei to buy anything new.

“Wow!”

Shi Qiuyun dashed into the room, her eyes gleaming as she admired the place where she would be sleeping tonight.

“It’s so beautiful! Much nicer than the house I lived in on the mountain!”

She carefully examined the facilities in the room, growing more satisfied and fond of it with each passing moment.

“There’s a TV in the room. If you get bored, you can watch some TV. I’ll buy you a new phone tomorrow; it’s too late today, alright?”

Lu Fei stood at the doorway of the room, giving instructions before turning to leave.

“Thank you, good brother!” Shi Qiuyun expressed her gratitude and immediately sprawled comfortably on the large bed.

Meanwhile, Lu Fei couldn’t help but smile, his lips curling with a hint of amusement.

As Lu Fei brought Shi Qiuyun home, the system’s notification sound finally rang out.

“Congratulations, host, for changing the plot. Reward: Ancient Martial Arts (Beginner).”

“Congratulations, host, for gaining 2000 Destiny Points.”

…

Looking at the nearly ten thousand Destiny Points, the smile on Lu Fei’s lips never faded. Not to mention the additional reward of Ancient Martial Arts!

Just hearing it can specify it would increase his own strength.

Hmm!

A sense of security filled him completely!

This Lin Ran is truly an endless source of benefits.

………………………………………….

Meanwhile, Lin Ran was still searching for his junior martial aunt near the train station.

Suddenly, Lin Ran sneezed.

Immediately, he turned his head again and searched for pedestrians on the street.

There were already very few people around, but Lin Ran still couldn’t find any trace of his junior martial aunt.

The anxiety on his face couldn’t be concealed.

“Could my junior martial aunt be so foolish? Could she have really been deceived by a scammer?”

Lin Ran took a deep breath, trying to alleviate some of the frustration building up inside him.

He had searched everywhere around the train station, but he couldn’t find any sign of his junior martial aunt.

At this moment, he had to admit that it was highly likely that his junior martial aunt had been deceived by a scammer.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have disappeared without a trace.

Lin Ran, who still couldn’t find his martial aunt, began to entertain thoughts of giving up. 

However, the thought of facing the old man made him feel weak at the knees.

How could he explain this to the old man?

Maybe… perhaps… it was because he arrived half an hour late, and that’s why he lost his junior martial aunt?

Would the old man fly over here to give him a good scolding?

Although it was highly likely that his martial aunt was deceived because of her own fault, this possibility was significant.

But the problem was, the old man was unreasonable!

Helpless, Lin Ran could only continue searching for any trace of his junior aunt near the train station.

Although he knew that continuing to search might be in vain, what other options did he have now?

He decided to diligently search around the train station. If he couldn’t find his junior aunt even after thoroughly searching the area, then he would have to spend money to hire someone to distribute missing person notices in Shanghai.

In reality, he didn’t have much influence in Shanghai either. This was the extent of what he could do for now.
