568 Set Off for the Foreign Lands
Lu Benweiâs encounter with Chu Yan could not be considered a reunion after a long separation. It was as natural as spring and autumn.
Like a gentle breeze and drizzle, it landed on the wheat field. Time passed slowly. The spring breeze blew, and the wheat sprouts and green trees swayed their branches and leaves.
The young girl ruffled her soft hair that was blown by the wind and did not say anything. She stood up and stretched out her hand naturally. Lu Benwei also did not say much and gently held Chu Yanâs hand.
â¦
Three days passed in a flash.
Lu Benwei had missions to do every day.
On the first day, he shared with the professors at Hunter University of Jiangsu and Zhejiang about what he had seen and heard at Yanjing Hunter University.
The next day, he would talk about his insights at hunter university in front of all the teachers and students.
On the third day, he dealt with some matters at the Slaughter Shrine.
Zhao Xiaoqi complained that she should be promoted and given a raise!
âYouâre going to be promoted, so youâll have to overturn my position and make it empty for you,â Lu Benwei joked.
Zhao Xiaoqi rolled her eyes. âItâs all because of you, the president. Youâre the boss. Iâm the one handling all the affairs in the club.â
On the fourth day, Chen Yuan, the principal of Zhejiang Hunter University, met Lu Benwei.
âLong time no see, Lu Benwei.â
âHello, Principal!â
The two of them greeted each other briefly.
Chen Yuanâs office was as messy as ever. All kinds of documents and books were piled up together, forming a small mountain.
For the past two days, Lu Benwei had been wondering if the old beggar and Chen Yuan were half-brothers. To a certain extent, they were exceptionally similar.
However, the old beggar had been busy teaching him the ancient martial arts these past few days.
Lu Benwei did not have the mood to care about him.
âLu Benwei, will you hate me for sending you to Yanjing Hunter University as an exchange student?â
âPrincipal, why do you say that?â
âIf I didnât send you to Yanjing Hunter University as an exchange student, you wouldnât have offended the eight great families!â
Chen Yuan stopped talking and stared at Lu Benwei.
âThereâs no such thing!â Lu Benwei said bluntly, âSome people will meet sooner or later on this journey of life. And some things happen because of some people. This time, I went to Yanjing Hunter University and got some opportunities, so I donât regret it.â
âThatâs good.â Chen Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.
âContinue to tell me what you saw and heard along the way.â
Lu Benwei nodded.
He shared what he did from the day he entered Yanjing Hunter University. Then, he told Chen Yuan everything that had happened on the way to the ice field.
However, Lu Benwei had some reservations and did not share everything. He did not tell Chen Yuan what he had seen and heard in the Three Mountains Secret Realm and the shocking battle with the Three-headed Dog.
Chen Yuan was shocked when he learned that the foreign clans had arrived.
âA monster with eyes all over its body. Its body is made of stone. There are tentacles on its legs and head, and it is full of eyes,â Chen Yuan said, shuddering.
Then, he suddenly burrowed into a pile of books and rummaged through them to find something. The unrelated books were mercilessly thrown out by him, drawing a beautiful parabola in the air, and the paper rattled.
âStrange, I remember I left it here two years ago. Why canât I find it now? No, no, it should be in that pile.â
After saying that, he went into another pile of books.
When Lu Benwei saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched. If this continued, it would be impossible to find the book that Chen Yuan was talking about.
âPrincipal, what are you looking for? If you canât find it, forget it.â
Chen Yuan looked around but could not find the book he wanted. He crawled out of the pile of books and shook his head.
âForget it. It seems that I can only tell you based on my memory. There might be some deviation. The foreign clans you mentioned might be called the Purgers!â
âThe Purgers?!â
Lu Benwei inexplicably felt a chill enter his body, causing him to shudder.
âYes, itâs called the Purgers! They came from an unknown planet in the universe! I donât know what their purpose is. Every time they go to a planet, they wipe out all the living beings on that planet! Thatâs why we call it the Purgers!â
Lu Benwei sucked in a breath of cold air. Then, he thought of something.
âPrincipal, I once heard from the Blood Monster that there was a period when ten thousand clans coexisted in the northern ice field outside the Dragon Kingdom! Is this true?â
Chen Yuan was slightly stunned. Then, he narrowed his eyes and said, âI didnât expect him to tell you such a secret.â
âPrincipal, is what the Blood Monster said true?â Lu Benwei was shocked.
âYes and no!â Chen Yuanâs tone was very ambiguous.
âThere was once a rumor that there were traces of humans, monsters, and other ferocious beasts living together in some places in the outer realm.â
âSomewhere?â Lu Benwei was very puzzled.
âThese places are all the surrounding areas of the Dragon Kingdom. Those traces were discovered by the army that went to the outer realm. The officials feel that the news that there are traces of humans in the outer realms is of great importance, so they havenât announced it.â
Pausing for a moment, Chen Yuan said sinisterly, âLu Benwei, do you think thereâs a possibility that other than the Dragon Kingdom, there are other human countries on this planet?â
Lu Benwei immediately widened his eyes. This guess was beyond his understanding. Lu Benwei could not imagine it at all!
âThis is just my guess. Donât think too much about it,â Chen Yuan said.
Lu Benwei heaved a sigh of relief. However, he felt that what the principal said was not without reason.
âThe foreign battleground is still a mystery to us. Your talent is outstanding, and you have a bright future ahead of you. Going to the outer realms now is also a form of training for you.â
Chen Yuan continued to ponder, his tone revealing the infinite hope he had placed in Lu Benwei.
âCommander Chu is the hero of the Dragon Kingdom and a thorn in the side of the eight great families! They donât want you to live, and they donât want Commander Chu to come back! So, you must give them a hard slap in the face!â
âYes.â Lu Benwei nodded. âPrincipal, Iâll bring Commander Chu and the Furious Dragon Legion back safely.â
The conversation between the two ended here. Lu Benwei left Chen Yuanâs office and was ready to go.
The people heading to the foreign battleground were Lu Benwei, Chu Yan, the old beggar, and Li Tiancheng.
Lin Feng volunteered to be Chu Yanâs escort! After all the pestering, Lu Benwei agreed.
Together with the Six-tailed Crocodile, the Blood Monster, and Wang Zining, who was waiting in Shanghai, Lu Benwei formed an eight-man team and was about to head to the outer realm.
