Lu Ziling from Yanjing Hunter University versus Jiang Yan from Huaqing Hunter University.
Lu Benwei from Zhejiang Hunter University versus Wang Zining from Hudan Hunter University.
At the same time, the news of Lu Benwei advancing to the top four spread and shocked everyone.
Zhejiang Hunter University was decorated with lanterns and streamers to celebrate Lu Benweiâs entry into the top four. It was also the best result that Zhejiang Hunter University had achieved in recent years.
âBrother Lu is so strong! He entered the National Class Tournament as a freshman and a magician, and he made it to the top four!â
Du Gu, Gu Xuan, and the others gathered in the activity room of the God Slayers Club and congratulated Lu Benwei from thousands of miles away.
âThatâs enough, you guys are making it seem like I won the tournament.â
From thousands of miles away, Lu Benwei started a video call with one of the members of the God Slayers Club.
âOur next opponent is Wang Zining from Hudan Hunter University. I heard that she and Sister Chu are childhood friends. If we use the back door and get them to give in to us, it will only be a matter of time before we enter the final.â
Du Gu and Qian Hai laughed evilly.
âThatâs enough. Zining is in her fourth year. This is the last time sheâs participating in the National Class Tournament. Iâm sure sheâll do her best.â Chu Yan rolled her eyes.
Du Gu and Qian Hai laughed, and then asked, âSister Chu, are your injuries getting better?â
âTheyâre almost healed.â
âThatâs good. When Sister Chu saved Brother Lu, we were so worried.â
After a pause, Du Gu laughed evilly. âBy the way, Brother Lu, Sister Chu saved your life. Arenât you going to do something for her?â
Then, Chu Yanâs face blushed and she secretly looked at Lu Benwei.
Lu Benwei patted his chest and said, âDonât worry, Iâll do my best in the next game and enter the final. Iâll win the tournament for Chu Yan and everyone else.
âTsk!â
Everyone immediately looked at Lu Benwei with disdain, making him confused.
Chu Yan was also slightly relieved, but there was an unspeakable sense of disappointment in her heart.
Lu Benwei was even more confused and was about to ask when Lu Ziling called him away.
âWhatâs wrong, Ziling?â
Lu Ziling crossed her arms and said angrily, âYouâre really something. Such a big thing happened in the top eight to the top four competition, but you didnât even call home.â
Lu Benwei scratched his head in embarrassment.
âArenât we too busy? Not only do I have to take care of Chu Yan, but I also have to train and participate in the tournament.â
When Lu Ziling heard this, she waved her hands. âForget it. After all, Chu Yan saved your life. Itâs only right for you to put your thoughts on her.â
âWhat do you mean my Chu Yan? Ziling, donât talk nonsense.â Lu Benwei felt inexplicable.
Lu Ziling did not reply to Lu Benweiâs words and directly video-called her father, Lu Dayong.
âHey, Ziling, whereâs that little brat?â
âHeâs beside me,â Lu Ziling responded and pointed the phone camera at Lu Benwei.
Instantly, Lu Benwei saw the kind faces of his parents, Lu Dayong and Jiang Xiuqin.
âMom, Dad, how are you?â
Lu Dayongâs expression became very stern.
âYou still have the face to call us Mom and Dad. Such a big thing happened, and itâs been a few days. You didnât even call home to let us know that youâre safe. Youâre the reason why your mom canât sleep every night. If we didnât call your sister, we wouldnât even know whatâs going on with you.â
âAlright, alright,â Jiang Xiuqin chimed in and stopped Lu Dayong from getting angry at Lu Benwei. âIsnât Little Lu fine now?â
âDad, Mom, Iâm sorry. Iâve been too busy these days,â Lu Benwei said apologetically.
Lu Dayong turned his head away. Jiang Xiuqin had no choice but to take the phone back to her chest.
âLittle Lu, itâs good that youâre alright. Howâs the girl who saved you? She wasnât bullied by that Wang family, was she?â
Lu Benwei pondered for a while and said, âSheâs fine. A super big shot helped us out in the end.â
âOh, thatâs good. This world is still filled with righteous people.â
Jiang Xiuqin sighed with emotion.
âBy the way, itâs almost new year after the competition. Ask that girl if sheâs free and come to our house. Weâll thank her properly.â
âWhat?â
Jiang Xiuqinâs sudden change in tone stunned Lu Benwei and Lu Ziling.
âLet Chu Yan come to our house?â Lu Benwei swallowed his saliva.
Lu Dayong chimed in from the side. âThatâs right. After all, she saved your life. If you donât show her your gratitude, itâll seem like the Lu family doesnât know how to appreciate a favor.â
At this time, Lu Benwei and Lu Ziling each had their own thoughts.
Chu Yan was the daughter of one of the national pillars of the Dragon Kingdom and had a prominent status. How could the Lu family withstand such a great guest?
Lu Ziling was thinking that she had almost heard Lu Dayong and Jiang Xiuqinâs calculations.
âMom, Dad, isnât it a little too soon to ask her to come to our house?â
âWhatâs so soon about it? Little Lu is already 18 today. If it was ten years ago, the child wouldâve learned how to play soy sauce.â Jiang Xiuqinâs smile was so wide that it almost reached the back of her head.
Lu Benwei was confused. âMom, what are you talking about?â
...
At this moment, Lu Dayong cleared his throat and said, âDonât care what your mother says to Ziling. In short, you must bring that girl back today, or else⦠Otherwise, donât come back for the new year this year!â
After saying that, the two elders turned their heads away and whispered something else.
After a few words of concern, the family ended the video call.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Benwei let out a long sigh of relief.
âWhatâs wrong? Why does a video call feel like visiting a grave?â Lu Ziling complained.
âNothing, Iâm just worried about how Iâm going to get through this.â
âSurely Mom and Dad asked you to bring Chu Yan home. Are you that unwilling?â Lu Ziling said angrily.
âThisâ¦â
Lu Benwei wanted to answer yes, but he found that he could not say it no matter what.
Seeing Lu Benweiâs hesitation, Lu Zilingâs lips suddenly curved up. âSince you donât want to invite her, Iâll go and invite her for you.â
âDonât, donât. donâtâ¦â Lu Benwei quickly stopped her.
...
âIâll take some time to invite her over these few days.â
âThis is more like it.â Lu Ziling put her hands on her hips, paused, and turned her head to say, âBy the way, what are your plans for the next match?â
âOf course, itâs to defeat Wang Zining and enter the finals,â Lu Benwei responded.
âZiling, it shouldnât be hard for you to get into the finals, right? If I get into the finals as well, we can just have a casual fight. It doesnât matter who gets the Giant Kingdomâs stone tablet.â
Suddenly, Lu Zilingâs expression changed. âNo, you canât take the stone tablet.â
