Chapter 196 - Carnival Day

Vix could now stand up. Over the past few days, he had been actively training and eating. His body finally did not look as pale and lifeless as before.

Knowing that Lu Beihuai and the others were leaving, Vix brought thanks again.

“Thank you so much.”

Lu Beihuai’s expression was still serious, but his attitude was much gentler.

“You’re welcome. You’re my friend.”

Vix laughed. “Yes, I’m lucky to have a friend like you.”

When they left, Vix gave Lu Xiaocha many things. He gave her some shiny and precious jewelry.

Although Lu Xiaocha felt that these things were not as practical as food, she liked them.

Who didn’t like shiny stones? In the post-apocalyptic world, ugly ghouls also had shiny stones in their brains. That was the most popular one.

They left happily with the gifts. Lu Beichen and Lu Beilin were already waiting for them at the airport.

Moreover, because of Lu Beilin, there were more and more people around them.

“Did my dear sister miss me?”

Seeing the person walking out of the airport, Lu Beilin opened his arms to welcome her and hugged Lu Xiaocha.

Lu Xiaocha said seriously, “No.”

After saying that, her nose was pinched.

Lu Beilin was very thick-skinned. “Nonsense. I looked into your eyes and it said that it misses me, your third brother.”

Lu Xiaocha smiled.

“Come on, get in the car.”

If they stayed any longer, they might be surrounded.

After they left, the discussion in the airport became even more heated.

“He’s too good-looking. Does that kind of face really exist?”

“I held my breath just now because I was afraid of scaring them. Alright, I don’t know if they were frightened, but I was really frightened by them. But is that a family? This family’s looks are too much!”

“Ah… They’re really not celebrities. I searched for them on the Internet for so long but I couldn’t find them!”

“Nonsense. If they’re celebrities, how can I not discover this treasure with my fiery eyes?”

“He’s so good-looking, but we can’t see him. This is too much of a waste!”

The group of girls were heartbroken, but the Lu family members in the car were happy.

Lu Xiaocha secretly asked how Lu Beichen was doing. She mainly asked him if he had been bullied during the exam, especially by his sworn enemy.

She heard from her classmates that the man always bullied her brother

Lu Beichen was speechless.

“Not really.”

This time, not only did he not provoke him, he was especially attentive along the way. The people from Beicheng Middle School were so flabbergasted that they thought that their star student had been replaced.

Although Lu Beichen was secretly happy to see Xu Ruian acting like a lackey, he could not be happy at the thought of why he had become like that.

That guy had a death wish for coveting his sister!

Since they knew why the mastermind was targeting them, they were naturally vigilant.

In addition, The Leng family had indeed made some progress in their investigation. Leng Yunting had secretly caused trouble for Lu Beiqing. He was even bold enough to secretly attack some of the Lu family’s businesses.

When Lu Zhan found out, he sneered and immediately returned the warning. The Leng family could only endure it in shock.

“I’m afraid The Liao family and Lin Qi are behind the plane incident.”

The Liao family had formed a deadly feud with their family. It was understandable that they would tamper with it.

As for Lin Qi, Lu Zhan’s expression was cold.

“He really won’t stop until he destroys the Lu family.”

Lin Qi was the person who had once stirred up trouble behind the scenes and helped Pei Qin and the other illegitimate children of the Lu family steal Lu Xiaocha from the hospital and erase all evidence.

The rest of the Lu family were sent to jail, and Old Master was also sent to the hospital.

After that, he became obedient under Lu Zhan’s powerful methods, but now, he started to act up again.

“I just don’t know if they have anything to do with that master.”

Lu Beihuai said, “I’ll send someone to keep an eye on their movements, but it’s not easy to find Lin Qi.”

This feeling of being in the open and the enemy in the dark was really too terrible.

The only thing they could do now was to take precautions.

Lu Zhan even invited Qin Ze to the house to see if there was anything wrong.

When Qin Ze arrived, he looked at the Lu family’s young talents and their endless fortune and sucked in a breath of cold air.

This… no wonder they were targeted.

All he could do was draw talismans. That was his forte.

However, if he wanted to protect the Lu family, he had to be a professional array master.

“I’m only proficient in drawing talismans. My uncle is outstanding in different areas. Perhaps I can let him try.”

Lu Zhan nodded. “Thank you.”

It was the school holidays. After the final exam, Lu Xiaocha did not care if the results were good or not.

After the holidays, she carried the Nightmare Cat and ran with her father or brothers, as if she was afraid that something would happen to them.

Pei Anran was caught between laughter and tears. She hugged her daughter and rubbed her head.

“Don’t worry. Although our family doesn’t have any special abilities, it’s impossible for those people to hurt us easily.”

Although those Demon Slayers were proficient in the magic arts and were impossible to guard against, there were too many concerns if they wanted to do bad things at the same time.

Moreover, the Lu family was not to be trifled with.

However, her family did not mind her following them.

Lu Zhan said, “That’s good too. Watch and learn more. In the future, our Lu family’s assets will also have to be shared with you.”

Hearing her father’s words, Lu Xiaocha was immediately unhappy to follow him.

She knew very well what she was made of. It was fine to let her fight. She might lose money in a month or two if she ran a business.

Then, Lu Xiaocha followed her Third Brother.

The young man she had picked up, Li An, was actually doing well by her brother’s side. He even had a good relationship with Ah Yue and the rest.

On this day, Lu Xiaocha brought the Nightmare Cat and her third brother to the legendary Underground City.

Underground City was indeed built underground.

Business here was usually in the gray area.

There were different forces in Underground City, and her third brother was one of them.

Some fugitives and vicious people often wandered here. They were either wearing masks or strange clothes. There were many such people dressed here. No one would investigate the face behind the mask.

The relationships here were complicated, and it was very difficult to get rid of them.

In her third brother’s territory, there were basically no drugs or human trafficking.

However, that might not be the case in other people’s territories.

Lu Beihuai brought his sister with him and explained the dangers of the Underground City to her. He also warned her not to bring her friends here in the future.

There were various rumors about the Underground City outside, which led to some young people secretly coming to the Underground City out of curiosity.

If they were lucky enough to meet someone with a conscience, they would persuade them to go back. If they were unlucky, they might not even know where they had gone.

Lu Xiaocha listened attentively and nodded from time to time to show that she understood.

“Today is Underground City’s carnival day. No one will cause trouble today. Xiaocha, follow me closely. The few of you, protect her.”

“Yes!”

Lu Xiaocha: “… Just protect my brother.”

If they followed, they really wouldn’t know who was protecting who.

On Underground City’s celebration day, all kinds of entertainment facilities were opened to the people. Usually, people entered wearing masks.

Lu Xiaocha was also wearing a strange rabbit mask. The reason why it was strange was that although it was a rabbit head, it had clown makeup.

The celebration day was unprecedentedly grand. The lights illuminated the entire Underground City, and the loud singing was endless. The masked men and women on the dance floor twisted their bodies and danced crazily.

Lu Beilin noticed his sister’s expression.

“This place is like this. It’s called the City of Madness. If you don’t like it, I won’t bring you here next time.”

Actually, he did not plan to bring his sister along this time. It was just that this little girl was very stubborn and insisted on following him.

Lu Xiaocha shook her head. “It’s okay.”

She had seen crazier than this.

The siblings sat in the highest and most luxurious private room on the floor. Lu Beilin got someone to send over a lot of food. Lu Xiaocha played with her phone while eating. She was happy and at ease. The madness below did not affect her at all.

Li An sat beside her and watched her play curiously. In the end, he took out his phone and played with her.

The cell phone was bought by his boss. He had learned a lot during his time with his boss.

Now that he was wearing a suit, he looked decent. He did not look like he did not know anything like he did when he first came to this city.

The only thing on him that could prove his identity was the snake-shaped earring on his ear. His original clothes had been properly kept.

“Third Young Master, Young Master Shen is here. He said that he wants to say hi and talk to you.”

Lu Beilin’s beautiful peach blossom eyes flashed with cold mockery.

“What’s there to talk about with him?”

Lu Beilin leaned lazily on the leather sofa like a cat. Under the light, he was so beautiful that he didn’t look real.

“Let him in.”

Shen Wenyan was here. Not only did he come himself, but there was also a woman wearing a mask beside him.

Li An’s nose twitched as he was playing games. Right on the heels of that, he suddenly stood up and grabbed at the woman’s face.

“Black Gu Saintess, I can smell your stench from afar. Return the Holy Gu to me!”

The woman’s mask was taken off, revealing the face that was seen at the Fu family’s banquet.

Lu Beilin made a gesture, and everyone in the private room took out their guns and aimed at Shen Wenyan and the Saintess.

The woman was still fighting with Li An when a colorful poisonous snake flew out of her hair. Li An tilted his head and dodged it, then grabbed the snake.

He strangled the snake with his fingers.

“Shameless! How dare you steal from us when you can’t nurture Holy Gu in your own tribe! Bunch of bandits!”
