EBE Chapter 137 Busy Man
Chapter 137 Busy Man
While Lü Fengxian was keeping her appointment…
The helipad outside the Lü family compound.
Two rows of servants stood in neat formation.
Ahead, Lü Chun, Lü Tianhu, Xu Heming, and others were waiting for the arrival of a flying boat.
"Ha~yawn~"
Huo Linfei, who had just been promoted to the core team, yawned, looking extremely tired, with tears welling up in his eyes and very obvious eye bags.
Xu Heming squinted, a smile playing on his lips. "Young man, judging from your condition, you seem to have insufficient kidney yang. Have you been indulging in too much indulgence lately?"
"What are you talking about... I'm just not used to waking up early!" Huo Linfei said with drooping eyes. "What a lunatic... Who is it that comes so early in the morning, what's going on..."
A certain combat unit also complained, "Yeah, Dean Gu really knows how to make things difficult for people, especially this early in the morning..."
After all, as an instructor at the Mech Academy, he had no choice but to come and greet the dean.
"Heh, the imperial delegation bestowing rewards will arrive in Yong'an City tomorrow. Don't forget, Dean Gu played a crucial role in enabling those two lads, Lü Fengxian and Song Yunxiang, to receive their rewards..."
Xu Heming smiled, "Moreover, as the landlords of Nanzhou, it's quite reasonable for the Gu family to visit the Lü family first to discuss reception arrangements..."
"The main reason is that the Gu family still needs to visit the Song family. If we arrive late, there won't be time to rest, haha..."
"So what? What's it to me?"
Huo Linfei and Cheng Yi complained in unison, even their stretching postures were surprisingly similar.
"I can't see Miss Yun Jin here... How boring..."
"Tianyu isn't here... How boring..."
"Alright, that's enough, they're here," Xu Heming reminded them.
Swish!
Cheng Yi jolted awake and instantly stood up straight, startling Huo Linfei, who quickly straightened up as well. Despite his complaints, he couldn't actually give up.
call--
The Gu family's flying boat slowly descended, the cabin door opened, and the stairs extended down.
"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting." Gu Shijing, accompanied by Xiaoyue, slowly walked down the steps and bowed politely.
"Dean Gu."
The Lü family members politely returned the greeting.
"Old Xu."
Gu Shijing nodded in acknowledgment.
"what?"
"Instructor Cheng?" she asked, looking puzzled.
At this moment, Cheng Yi suddenly became energetic, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Dean!"
"Why are you still here?" Gu Shijing crossed her arms. "Didn't you return to Yuanding City after delivering the things last week...?"
"what…"
Cheng Yi scratched his head awkwardly, "Well... anyway, the Mechanized Weapon Academy is still under renovation... no, isn't it still on holiday? Instructor Ou has also returned to the Zhenbei Army to deliver the test data for the [Step Blade Sword]..."
He paused, then added, "Since none of you are here, I'll have to go back and look after that bald old man by myself... Old Mr. Nan Guo is quite boring..."
"..." Gu Shijing pushed up her glasses. "Okay, we'll talk about this later..."
After saying that, she silently stood aside.
An elderly noblewoman, accompanied by two maids, slowly walked out of the cabin.
Gu Ying.
The current head of the Gu family in Nanzhou is at the peak of the Heavenly Rank.
"Lu Tianhu of the Lu family greets Patriarch Gu."
"Lu Chun greets Patriarch Gu."
The two exchanged a simple bow, which served as a greeting.
"You're too kind, Second Master Lü, there's no need for such formalities." Gu Ying walked slowly down the steps with one hand behind his back, smiled and nodded, then looked at the other person, "Miss Lü Chun, I've heard so much about you."
"I wouldn't dare, Patriarch Gu, you flatter me." Lü Chun bowed slightly.
Beside him, Lü Tianhu scratched his head, "Sister Chun is already so old, why call her 'Miss'..."
However, he didn't say it aloud, otherwise he would have definitely gotten an elbow strike.
"Master Gu, please."
"please."
As Gu Ying passed by Xu Heming, her expression remained unchanged, and she quietly transmitted her voice, "Brother Heming, I really didn't expect that you would look so young after so long. How have you been these days?"
"Mm," Xu Heming replied telepathically.
Although my wish is about to be fulfilled, I feel a little lost...
He chose her, but he let her down.
It's rare to find something that can be perfect in this world, and the most miserable person is the one who is deeply in love. Alas.
……
The main hall of the Intermediate People's Court.
Lu Zhongying was already waiting there, smiling as she extended her hand, "Patriarch Gu, please take a seat."
"Mr. Lü, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."
Gu Ying cupped his hands in greeting before sitting down. He looked around and asked in confusion, "The awarding of titles is imminent, so where is our friend Feng Xian?"
"He says he has a date with a beautiful woman," Lü Zhongying shrugged, "They're both peak Heaven Rank experts, but they still can't control themselves, bringing women home every other day..."
"Hehe..." Gu Ying didn't know how to respond, so she could only force a smile.
"Da Chunzi, go and inform my son Fengxian to come back quickly!" Lü Zhongying instructed.
"Yes!"
After agreeing, Lü Chun left the main hall and made a video call to Lü Fengxian.
Beep, beep, beep…
Yong'an Grand Restaurant.
?~?~?~?~?~?~?~
Inside the penthouse suite, Lü Fengxian played the zither while Lin Jinghua danced, creating a truly beautiful scene.
Beep, beep, beep…
The unpleasant notification sound rang out. Lü Fengxian wanted to reject the call, but when she saw it was Aunt Chun calling, she silently chose to answer, "Aunt Chun, what's up?"
As soon as the music stopped, Lin Jinghua knew that her confidante had something to say, so she sat down silently and looked at the red-haired man in front of her with deep affection.
"The Marquis wants you to come back quickly; it's about important matters for tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go back now."
At this moment, Lin Jinghua helped Lü Fengxian put on her coat, straightened her collar, and nestled reluctantly in her arms, saying, "Young Master Lü, after today's parting, I don't know when we will meet again."
"You can see me anytime you want. Just call me and I'll be there."
"Ah."
After cuddling for only a short while, Lü Fengxian left the Yong'an Grand Restaurant.
With a roar like a dragon's cry, a red light streaked across the sky, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the helipad in the outer courtyard of the Lü family.
He rushed to the main hall of the Intermediate People's Court without stopping.
"Dean Gu."
"Patriarch Gu, Instructor Cheng, Elder Xu..."
After greeting everyone, Lü Fengxian sat down next to the old man. "I'm not too late, am I? Let's talk about important matters quickly, I have other things to do..."
"Young friend Fengxian, you must be very busy," Gu Ying complimented politely.
Following that, a three-hour meeting was held to discuss the [welcoming of the reward team]. Fortunately, it ended successfully, and a plan that should satisfy everyone was finalized.
At the entrance of the outer courtyard.
"Gentlemen of the Lü family, please stay here. We still have a visit to the Song family. Farewell."
"Walk slowly."
Swish!
Before she could even see the Gu family off on the ship, Lü Fengxian's figure vanished in a flash, returning to her east courtyard after a few blinks.
Bear!!
In the main house of the East Courtyard, a blazing fire burned in a secret room.
"Time flies so fast!!"
"Couldn't you go any slower?!"
It was Lü Fengxian who hurriedly began refining pills, including the old man's Sainthood Pill and the pills needed for the maids and guards' cultivation, which were urgent.
The award corps will be at my doorstep tomorrow, I might be too late…
P.S.: I took the day off yesterday. The data was dismal. After some quick thinking, I decided to continue updating this one while saving the other one for later. If this one really dies, we'll deal with it. Maintaining stable updates for both books... is a bit tiring.
