Since the matter had been settled, Lu Yan did not delay any further. He called for a taxi and rushed towards the airport.
Everything seemed to be fine, and there was no traffic jam on the way. The registration went smoothly as Lu Yan sat on his seat and waited for the plane to take off.
This time, Lu Yan was not really in the mood to pay attention to the beauties watching him. He always felt a little uneasy, and did not know what the old man wanted to tell him when he returned.
Three hours later, Lu Yan was woken up by the flight attendant. When he opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful lady standing in front of him.
"Sir?" Seeing the flight attendant's expression, the dazed Lu Yan finally regained his senses. He looked around and saw that there was no one on the plane, only him.
Lu Yan got up and picked up his luggage, then smiled at the air stewardess: "Beauty, thank you."
Without waiting for the flight attendant to say anything, Lu Yan quickly walked out of the cabin. When he arrived at the entrance of the airport, he casually caught a taxi and headed straight towards the National Security Agency.
Just as Lu Yan was about to take a taxi, his phone rang.
"Brat, why are you dawdling?"
"..." Lu Yan did not know what to say. After all, this old man was so annoying now, he did not even make a phone call before, why did he keep on calling him recently?
When the old man heard this, he fell silent and felt a little puzzled. What was going on with this fellow?
"We'll be there soon." After saying that, Lu Yan took the initiative and hung up.
After he hung up the phone, the car arrived at its destination and paid the driver. Lu Yan carried his bag and walked inside, straight to the door of the old man's office.
Lu Yan did not even knock on the door, and directly kicked the door open to let the old man know that he was there. After all, no one dared to kick his door, and only Lu Yan, the smelly brat, did.
"What did you call me back for?" Lu Yan immediately threw his bag on the sofa and sat down, then turned and looked at the direction of the desk.
"How is your Eighteen Bitter Flame Meridians training going?" The old man did not answer Lu Yan's question, but asked a question in reply.
Lu Yan shook his head and looked at him a little helplessly: "I'm stuck at a bottleneck."
"Then go to the back of the mountain and focus on your training. Don't come out until you've broken through to the fifth stage." The old man frowned slightly. He could be considered to have put some pressure on this fellow. It had been quite some time since he had left. How could he have improved so slowly?
Logically speaking, with this kid's talent, he shouldn't have grown so much.
If Lu Yan knew what this old man was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes. It wasn't like he was going there to cultivate, there was still a mission to protect Lan Yuyan, right?
"What is it? "Can't bear to part with your beauty?" The old man saw that Lu Yan was distracted and teased him.
"You're really something!" Lu Yan looked at the old fool with a headache; he was really as speechless as he could be.
The old man directly slapped Lu Yan on the back of his head, blowing out his beard and glaring at him, "How can you say that? Are you looking for a beating? "
"Damned old man, I'm not done with you." With that said, Lu Yan rolled up his sleeves and was about to grab the Old Man.
As a result, a chase drama was playing out in the National Security Agency Department Head's Office. This old man's speed was even faster than Lu Yan's, so it was impossible for him to catch, so Lu Yan grinded his teeth and cursed at the same time.
The two of them ran back and forth for a long time. Lu Yan felt bored and stopped after a while.
"This is called body club. There's no other way. Even if you're jealous, you won't be able to do it. Young man, it's better if you practice more." The last sentence was said sincerely and sincerely. If Lu Yan knew him not long ago, he might have believed him, but it could be said that Lu Yan had grown up with this old man.
"Come on, get down to business." Now that the ruckus was over, it was time to get down to business.
Hearing that, the old man coughed lightly, he straightened the expression on his face and looked at Lu Yan seriously: "Do you remember the Ancient Martial Family I mentioned before? Those families have all been passed down since a long time ago, and can be said to be hundreds of years old or even longer. "
"Yes, the Eighteen Bitter Flame Meridians I learned was also based on that, right?" Lu Yan did indeed remember the old man's words to him.
"Yes, so you must increase your strength as soon as possible." When the old man said this, his expression was especially serious.
Lu Yan frowned and looked at the Old Man: "Just say it directly, has something happened?"
The old man was silent for a long time before he finally spoke. "The database has been hacked. They found your information. It seems like they are here for you."
"What?!" Lu Yan could not help but be shocked, the National Security Agency's database was actually hacked, what kind of person had the ability to do so?
However, their strength is still higher than ordinary people. Right now, there is only one ancient martial family left, but there are quite a few successors. In order to get the position of the Patriarch, they must continue to fight and fight. Speaking till here, Lu Yan finally understood everything. An inconceivable thought appeared in his heart.
He felt that he was connected to this ancient martial arts family, otherwise this old man would not tell him this.
The old man looked at Lu Yan carefully, and then said slowly: "And you, are one of them. I will tell you the rest after you reach the fifth stage of the Eighteen Bitter Flame Meridians."
"Alright, I understand." Lu Yan's eyes flashed a few times, and did not continue asking.
He knew that even if he asked, if the old man was adamant, he wouldn't get anything out of him.
"Then I'll go to the back of the mountain first. Remember, don't let anyone disturb me." Lu Yan threw down his words and rushed out of the back mountain.
Lu Yan was focused on thinking about that ancient martial arts family along the way. Even when someone called out to him, he did not hear them and just walked straight towards them.
The old man made a call and instructed, "Seal off the area behind the mountain. Do not allow anyone to enter. Those who disobey orders, bring them to the underground torture chamber to receive their punishment."
The old man had already warned him, and Lu Yan was the only one left.
Lu Yan arrived at the same cave as before, sat down, found a place to sit cross-legged and started cultivating.
The energy in his body first slowly flowed through all the meridians, then slowly increased along with Lu Yan's tempo. Lu Yan had already started to feel his entire body slowly heat up, but he couldn't stop.
The moment he closed his eyes and started to cultivate, Lu Yan no longer knew the passing of time; he only knew that his body was slowly changing.
During this time, the old man came to the back of the mountain to check on Lu Yan's situation. Seeing that he was not in danger, he returned.
A few days later, the old man came back to the cave at the back of the mountain. Suddenly, he felt a strong aura coming from behind the cave entrance.
For those that cultivated these inner force skills, what they feared the most was impatience, which would lead to them going berserk.
The old man thought for a moment and was about to go in to check on Lu Yan, but just as he stepped into the cave, the incoming force made him stagger back a few steps, surprise and shock could be seen in his eyes.
F * ck, this brat was pretty good. I didn't expect him to be this good.
He never thought that Lu Yan had really reached the fifth stage, and now he could finally be at ease.
This old man himself was a cultivator of the Eighteen Bitter Flame Meridians, so he didn't feel the aura of the fifth stage any more clearly than he did.
At this time, it was better not to disturb him. The old man thought about the consequences for a moment, and in the end decided to stand outside and wait for Lu Yan.
The old man was squatting on a tree outside the cave entrance, looking around. Before he came out, he sat on the tree branch and leaned against it, taking a nap.
The sky had already turned dark. The old man raised his hand to rub his nose. Suddenly, he felt a dangerous aura flying towards him.
The old man opened his eyes and quickly jumped down from the tree branch. He turned around and stood to the side. He raised his head to look in the direction the energy was coming from and saw a figure standing not too far away from him.
"You stinking brat, you wanted to hit me the moment you came out!" The old man could tell that it was Lu Yan's figure and stared angrily at him. If he had been slower just now, he might have been tricked.
"Tsk, then you still haven't been hit." Lu Yan was also a little disappointed. It seemed that he was still a little lacking from this old man.
The old man walked to Lu Yan and looked him up and down, "Un, not bad."
"Of course, don't you know who I am?" Lu Yan didn't know what it meant to be low-key at all.
This was also related to the fact that he had to cultivate during the latter half of the night every day. If not for those stored up, Lu Yan would not have been able to cultivate at such a fast speed in just the past few days, no matter how talented he was.
"I'll give you a vine to climb up. Come on, we'll talk when we get back." The old man rolled his eyes at Lu Yan.
It was already dark, and there were many mosquitoes in the mountain. He couldn't stay here and feed the mosquitoes.
Lu Yan nodded his head and followed the old man down the mountain to the office.
"You've been in the cave for three days. Go take a bath first." The old man looked at Lu Yan with disdain. He hadn't paid any attention to him before, but now that he stepped into the room, he discovered that Lu Yan's body was dirty.
Lu Yan's face was also full of black lines, he anxiously ran into the bathroom for a shower. This fifth stage had forced even more filth out of his body, so his skin had already turned completely white, and there was nothing on his face. Looking at his body, Lu Yan felt that his meridians could see a little more, and he could even see the flow of energy in his veins.
After taking a shower, Lu Yan got out of the bathroom and sat on the sofa as he looked at the Old Man: "You said that you would tell me when you reach the fifth stage."
"Hmm, let me ask you again. Which stage of inner strength are you in now?" The old man's eyes lit up as Lu Yan looked over.
"Level five, but it's no problem for level six either." Of course, Lu Yan placed these words in his heart. It was not that he did not believe in the old man, but rather, only he himself knew of some things that would be the safest.
"My god, if that's the case, you'll know sooner or later." Appreciation appeared in the old man's eyes.
Lu Yan rolled his eyes: "So you want to change the topic again?"
"Ahem, no." The old man touched the tip of his nose awkwardly.
"Then why didn't you say anything!" This old fellow was truly enough to keep him in suspense.
