94: Chapter 94 I must help

Lu Qingfeng felt a bit helpless. Was this what they meant by being a sucker?

He quickly pulled his hand away and said:

"Could it be that your fees are just too expensive?"

"No... no, no, friend... The money we earn is all hard-earned, the big cut all goes to..."

The Drunkard said, pointing upwards.

Lu Qingfeng understood in a second.

Perhaps this smuggling operation was actually set up by some big shots?

Taking advantage of the war, intentionally imposing blockades, raising prices, and making a fortune from the war.

It was not impossible.

"The Drunkard... when do we depart?"

"We leave immediately... We can't stay here long... Time is money, friend."

Lu Qingfeng nodded and transferred half the money to him.

He followed The Drunkard and boarded the spaceship.

Soon, the spaceship took off.

Passing through the wormhole, it took only ten minutes or so to reach Oasis Star. That was truly fast.

Then, The Drunkard took him back to that bungalow.

"Your friend is inside."

The Drunkard pointed to a room.

In fact, Lu Qingfeng had already sensed Old Lu while outside.

He was pacing back and forth anxiously.

He transferred the remaining money to The Drunkard.

Lu Qingfeng walked toward the room, changing his face back to its original appearance.

He pushed open the door.

Old Lu looked at him in surprise.

He stepped forward a few paces and hugged him.

"You brat... I knew it was you."

Seeing that Old Lu wasn't blaming him, but rather worried about him,

Lu Qingfeng also breathed a sigh of relief and patted Old Lu on the shoulder.

"Dad... let's go back!"

"Alright, let's go home!"

Old Lu didn't immediately ask about Mother Lu; he was a wise man, and since his son was back, they could talk about it later.

Besides, since the afternoon, he had also seen some things on the internet.

Lu Qingfeng changed his appearance again.

Old Lu looked at him in surprise but didn't ask anything.

The father and son walked out of the bungalow, hailed a vehicle, and headed toward the port outside the city.

"Dad... Mom is fine, it's just that there might be some trouble later."

Although he had last seen Mother Lu rushing into space, he also knew that Mother Lu wasn't a fool and would never go seeking death.

"What kind of trouble?"

Seeing Lu Qingfeng hesitate to speak,

Old Lu sighed.

"Son... Dad is useless, but Dad has the right to know, right... Don't worry, your dad isn't that fragile."

Seeing Old Lu say this, Lu Qingfeng told him the truth.

He told him about what Mother Lu had done.

Of course, he didn't mention his own affairs, including forcing Qin Ming to post the message.

After hearing all this, Old Lu actually laughed.

He laughed until he started crying.

"Son... Dad is truly useless, I've ruined your Mom... Your Mom must have gone to get that fire rock essence for me. Why is your Mom so silly, ruining her own future."

Lu Qingfeng patted his shoulder and comforted him:

"Dad... isn't this a good thing? Mom is willing to take risks for you, and you are also willing to take risks for Mom... And with such low Cultivate level, tsk tsk tsk... Old Lu, I can't learn that."

"You brat... are you comforting me or attacking me?"

"Ahem... I'm just used to it."

But Lu Qingfeng's mockery was still effective.

Hearing him put it this way, Old Lu also said:

"Son... your dad needs to work hard and Cultivate properly, to be worthy of your Mom."

Lu Qingfeng nodded.

"Also, remember to recite that Mind Clearing Art more often."

"I know... thank goodness for it, otherwise I wouldn't have known how to get through these past two days."

"By the way... Old Lu, will this matter of Mom's have a big impact?"

Old Lu shook his head and sighed.

"It won't be too big... Before I came here, I begged your grandfather. After all, she is his own daughter. Your grandfather acts like this on the surface to maintain the order of the Noble Families, but actually, he still cares for your Mom very much."

"Especially your grandmother... She was frantic on the phone, but they couldn't do anything for the moment; the support troops were blocked in space."

"But... if it's as you said, as long as your grandfather says a word, the most that will happen is that your Mom will be stripped of her position and then come home, and that will be it. Of course, there might be other punishments."

"The worst-case scenario, your grandfather said, is that she might be punished by being sent to guard the Abyss Zerg on Proxima Centauri. That would be quite serious."

Hearing this, Lu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

When it was his turn,

he really wanted to say, the Noble Families are truly great!

The taste of power... it's so intoxicating.

However, can the Yu Family really help?

Of course, it also depends on Mom's attitude.

They tried, but still couldn't contact Mom.

Once they boarded the spaceship and traveled through the wormhole, it was already late at night when they arrived home.

The father and son didn't say anything and went straight to their respective rooms.

At 4 AM, Lu Qingfeng was still circulating his Qi and blood.

Suddenly, Old Lu's urgent knocking sounded at the door.

"Your Mom's phone went through... it went through."

Old Lu shouted excitedly.

Hearing this, Lu Qingfeng immediately stopped his Cultivate.

While on the spaceship, he had seen Old Lu dialing Mom's number over and over again.

Tirelessly.

Opening the door, the call had just connected.

"Yaner..."

"Mom... has communication on Yunlan Planet been restored?"

Without video, they didn't know Mother Lu's situation.

"Guoping... Xiao Feng, I've made you worry. I'm no longer on Yunlan Planet, I'm on my way to Blue Planet."

"Then... when can you come home?" Old Lu asked cautiously.

Lu Qingfeng's heart sank.

He felt that Mom must have been taken back to Blue Planet.

The situation might not be good.

"Guoping... Xiao Feng, Mom can't come back for now. I mainly wanted to report that I'm safe so you wouldn't worry. Also... Guoping, don't go look for my dad, remember that."

"We'll contact each other in a few days, let's leave it at that for now!"

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Lu Qingfeng and Old Lu looked at each other.

Both felt that the situation was not right.

So, Old Lu couldn't care about anything else and immediately called Yu Zhenhua.

It was hung up immediately.

Old Lu's face turned pale.

Then he immediately put on his clothes and was about to go out.

Lu Qingfeng, of course, knew where he was going; he was definitely going to beg his grandfather...

This trip would certainly involve a lot of suffering, so he naturally couldn't watch Old Lu go alone.

He chased after Old Lu and followed him.

They didn't speak on the way, and by the time the sky was just getting light, they arrived at the Yu Family estate.

But the Yu Family seemed prepared; they couldn't get in at all.

Old Lu's expression was somewhat dejected.

Lu Qingfeng pulled Old Lu and turned to leave. If they couldn't help, why beg them?

He immediately called Xiao Jingdao.

"Old Xiao... do me a favor, this is something the Principal can definitely do."

Xiao Jingdao seemed to know what Lu Qingfeng was talking about; he was silent for a moment, then said:

"I'll try..."

Lu Qingfeng thought for a moment and continued:

"Old Xiao... pass my words on to Principal Chen. This favor must be done, otherwise, don't expect me to hand over the subsequent insights, and I will also withdraw from Yan University."

Lu Qingfeng had no other choice. It wasn't that he was forcing Xiao Jingdao or making things difficult for him in the middle.

It was just that he had no idea what Mother Lu would face, and the unknown made him lose his composure.

"Alright..." Xiao Jingdao replied and hung up the phone.

Lu Qingfeng wasn't just saying it.

If they ticked him off, he would really drop out.

Anyway, he had finished reading the books on the second floor.

At worst, he would just go directly to Chaos Star. He believed that based on his own abilities, he could definitely make something of himself there.

Besides, there were things he wanted there.

Last time, he could understand not being able to sacrifice others' lives to investigate unknown information.

But this time, there was no need to sacrifice anyone's life; it just required him to say a word.

The Chen family... they were a major clan among the Noble Families. If Principal Chen Qianshan spoke up, he believed Mother Lu could definitely receive a lighter punishment.

PS: I'd like to tell everyone something here.

These few chapters might be written a bit depressingly, but everyone must remember, the protagonist is not a Transmigration person; he is a 19-year-old youth, at most influenced by some personality traits from his dreams, but he still has a good personality and is decisive in killing.

If the protagonist wants to grow, he must experience some things, whether it's family affection or love.

If he were a blank slate, it would be impossible to reach the Peak of martial arts.

Like him in his dreams.

Martial arts is not about working behind closed doors, otherwise it wouldn't be able to echo the Realm that the author understands later on.

Ahem... these few chapters are actually also very important; they buried a few foreshadowing plot points, one or two of which run through the main storyline of the entire book.
