Lu Qinghe, who didn't know where he came from, interjected, “Brother, didn't your classmates all go to college, and some even joined the army. What other friends do you have in Baihe City?”

Lu Sheng gave Lu Qinghe a cold glance and calmly said, “President of the Martial Arts Association, Xiao Yuhe? Do you have any objections?”

Lu Qinghe stopped talking, bowed her head to eat her breakfast.

Lu Sheng stayed at home for more than a week and then took the high-speed train back to school on the pretext of school affairs.

A day later, Lu Sheng appeared on an old street.

On both sides of the street are planted with rows of phoenix trees.

It is early autumn, and many leaves have begun to turn yellow and fall.

There are some yellow-green leaves on the road, and a cleaner is cleaning.

This style of planting phoenix trees on the roadside was very popular in the early years of Dragon Nation, but it has been rare since then. The old city area has continued, and even in Baihe City, there are not many such scenes.

Lu Sheng dragged his suitcase, slowly walking forward along the brick-paved sidewalk.

On both sides of the road are rows of old residential buildings, with walls covered with ivy, and many people drying clothes outside.

Lu Sheng walked for three or five minutes and finally stopped at the entrance of a community.

He lowered his head and looked at his phone. The phone displayed an address—Worker Community, 213 Pingzheng Road, West District, Fengze City.

“It should be here.”

Lu Sheng walked towards the community.

An old community also has its own advantages.

There is no security guard at the entrance, and there is no need to register to enter.

Lu Sheng walked into a residential building according to the address and stopped in front of a house with a faded “Fu” character.

He knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly.

A woman in her thirties, wearing a nightgown, with a slightly waxed-yellow face, appeared in front of him.

“Who are you looking for?”

The woman looked Lu Sheng up and down, with a hint of doubt and alertness on her face.

“I'm looking for Fu Jianming.”

“Fu Jianming...”

The woman thought for a moment and shook her head: “Don't know.”

“Who are you? Why are you looking for me?”

The old man raised his voice, and his eyes looked aggressive.

Lu Sheng was silent.

When he called out the old man's name, he suddenly realized that he really didn't know what he was doing here.

Information about the person in front of him quickly flashed through his mind.

[Fu Jianming, a worker at the Blue Sky Garment Factory in Fengze City. Had two daughters. The younger daughter, Fu Xue, was kidnapped by the son of Lian Jibei of the Extreme Martial Academy in her second year of high school when she was on her way home from self-study at night. The eldest daughter, Fu Ying, heard the news and went to the Extreme Martial Academy branch to argue. She never came back. A week later, the bodies of the two sisters were found on a riverbank somewhere outside Fengze City. They died miserably. Fu Jianming's wife couldn't take the blow and committed suicide...]

Until today, only the old man with white hair, who was only 46 years old, was still alive.

Lu Sheng thought for a moment and said, “I'm Fu Ying's classmate... I came here to see you.”

Maybe it was because he heard the words “Fu Ying,” the old man's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up.

“You... you're really Xiao Ying's classmate?”

Lu Sheng nodded. “Yes, I'm here to help you.”

The old man's lips trembled, and he seemed surprised.

But in a short time, he changed his appearance, and his voice became stern.

“You're lying! I've looked for all of Xiao Ying's classmates and friends since she was young, and I remember them all clearly. You're not her classmate! Do you think I'm stupid? Crazy? I am sober. Every single person, every single face, I remember them very clearly!”

The old man spoke hurriedly and quickly. He was so emotional that he even started to speak incoherently.

“I did lie.”

Lu Sheng took a deep breath and said in a calm and serious tone, “But I didn't lie to you. I'm here to help you.”

“Help me...”

A look of confusion flashed across the old man's face. His gaze fell on Lu Sheng. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something and grabbed Lu Sheng's hand.

He asked anxiously, “You are a martial artist!” You're a martial artist, right?! You are a very powerful martial artist...”

Two bony, chicken-claw-like hands grabbed Lu Sheng’s arm tightly. His ten fingers almost sank into Lu Sheng’s flesh, leaving dark fingerprints on his skin.

It was hard for Lu Sheng to imagine how such a frail body could produce such a huge amount of power.

“Yes.”

After getting Lu Sheng’s affirmative answer, Li Mu nodded.

The old man trembled with excitement, and his eyes shone with a strong light of hope.

“I knew it. I’ve seen so many martial artists. I can recognize them at a glance. You must be a martial artist ... You must be ...”

The old man repeatedly muttered as he pulled Lu Sheng towards a certain place.
