Zhan Yue

Night, dream.

……

“Lu Li quick follow up!”

In front of us was a grass plains and there were many white wild flowers. Lin Xi wore a white dress and was running on the grass. At the end of the string she was holding was a dancing kite.

“Is this a dream?”

I looked at the sky and pinched my arm and didn’t feel anything. I was indeed a dream. The Lin Xi I was seeing here was normal but to actually dream something as lame as kite flying, I really lacked imagination.

Although I was thinking about that, but I still ran forwards and smiled, “Lin Xi slow down, your external support system can’t support such high speeds, slow down---”

Lin Xi pulled the string and looked at me with her beautiful face. She smiled, “Lu Li, you… Super dummy!”

“...”

“Is it not me?”

When I raised my head, the girl was now Shen Mingxuan and she was still wearing the little white dress.

“As expected from a dream…”

I frowned, “It was Lin Xi just now.”

“Lu Li what are you saying?”

The voice changed and when I looked again, the girl pulling the string changed to Gu Ruyi. She ran on the grass with her snow white legs and smiled, “Look, quick look, my kite is so high!”

“Oh…”

I nodded and my eyes flash. The girl holding the string turned into Lin Xi and she looked so adorable. She ran while smiling, “Lu Li keep up---”

“Slow down, Lin Xi.”

I just shouted but her body entered the scenery in front. The ground suddenly collapsed and I was floating in mid air. When I opened my eyes, what I saw was an endless grey wall that stood across the galaxy, splitting reality and illusion into two.

Barrier of Heaven.

An intense feeling of suppression pressed onto my head and I instantly felt like I was about to stop breathing. I held my fists and breathing became extremely hard. My throat started to creak and in a blink, I saw that my body was breaking down. My hands were turning into the wind and into particles that floated in the sky. Then my arms, legs, body, and in the end only my head was hanging there, looking on in despair. ṛ𝐀𐌽Ȏ𝐁ÊŚ

“Ah ah ah ah…”

I was struggling to breathe. I saw the start of the dream and didn’t expect the end to be so terrifying.

……

“Lu Li? Lu Li---”

At that moment, someone pushed my arm to wake me up. I opened my eyes and saw Lin Xi standing beside my bed and smiling at me, “What happened, you have a nightmare in broad daylight?”

“Ah, en…” I nodded.

I sat up and looked outside. It was really sunny. I then looked at Lin Xi. She wore a hair clip so it was indeed her. This wasn’t a dream. I sucked in a deep breath and I recalled the Barrier of Heaven once more. At this moment, the Barrier of Heaven became a stressful point for me.

“I dind’t expect to actually dream about it…” I frowned.

“Dream about what?”

Lin Xi opened my curtains, “Did you dream about some evil person?”

“Not so.”

I shook my head and smiled, “There is something in game that is putting a lot of dress on me such that I am dreaming about it.”

“You are playing too much.”

She turned to look at me, “Why not… Let’s head out to walk? Calm down and stop thinking about the game. If not you would become a homebody.”

I laughed, “Why? Lin Xi, what time is it?”

“9am, the breakfast is already back and you weren’t awake so they told me to come get you.”

“Oh…”

I nodded and took in a deep breath, “Nothing, go eat breakfast, I will be back up soon.”

“En.”

She nodded and turned around to head out. On her way out she closed the door.

……

I got up to brush up.

When I was washing my face, I actually saw that I looked exhausted. That was something I didn’t expect. Since I entered Blazing Sun Realm, I was really fresh. Just one look and one knew that I was an energetic guy. Who knew that I would end up like this.

I went upstairs to eat with the three girls.

When I was eating, my phone rang and it was from Master Lin Cheng. I said, “Master what is it so early in the morning, is something up?”

“9am is early?”

Lin Cheng was a little annoyed, “You brat, come back in the afternoon, let me introduce someone strong to you.”

“Someone strong?”

I was stunned, “Who?”

“You will know when you come back. You have to come back!”

“Oh…”

After switching off the phone, I shook the phone and said, “I am going back home for lunch so I can’t be with all of you.”

“To meet someone amazing.”

Shen Mingxuan said, “Are you having a blind date?”

“What?” I stared, “Who will have a blind date at home? Moreover, I… Am smart and look good, so outstanding and talented, do I need to?”

“Is that so?” Lin Xi stared at me.

My heartbeat sped up, “Of course, I already have someone in my heart.”

“Scoff--”

She scoffed and continued to drink the soy bean.

Gu Ruyi smiled, “Lu Li so you won’t be back for lunch?”

“En, I will be back late, will update you in the chat.”

“En, okay---”

……

Thus, I spent the morning killing PIoneer Cavalries to get points and went offline at 11 to drive back home.

When I drove into the courtyard, I told Stareye to park the car while I was led by a beautiful butler into the main hall. In the direction of the restaurant, I heard father and Lin Cheng laughing. I saw that they were playing chess. Lin Cheng was playing against a white haired old man and father was watching. Sister was juicing orange juice on the side.

That old man dressed really simply and was in a clean cloth shirt. His shirt was so old that it was about to disappear and one could see through. More importantly, there was a simple looking sword behind him and there were many scratch marks. The handle was rusted and looked really bald.

Who is that?

Although I didn’t know him but I could sense how sharp that sword was. It was a certain feeling that felt real.

“You are back?”

Father raised his head and said.

“En, dad.“

I nodded and walked forwards, “Master you still haven’t introduced.”

“Oh.”

Master got up and smiled to the old man, “Old Zhou, let me introduce, this is my second disciple Lu Li. Ouyang Family’s eldest. How, this kid looks energetic right?”

“Oh---”

The old man stood up and had an aura that I couldn’t see through. Lin Cheng continued, “Lu Li, this is Old Zhou, he stepped into Blazing Sun Realm a hundred years ago. He was stopped at the north Suzhou stop as he had no identity card to buy a ticket so he is eating a meal here.”

I was shocked, at this age there was someone without an identity card? He stepped into Blazing Sun Realm a hundred years ago, then… He should be 150-200?

He saw how shocked I was and smiled, “I am Zhou Chi, I am 194 years old, nice to meet you Lu Li---”

I shook hands with him and felt a heat fro mhis palm that was far stronger than my Blazing Sun Energy. Was it… Peak?

His cultivation was stronger than Master!

“Nice to meet you senior.”@@novelbin@@

I nodded and smiled, “Senior’s cultivation is so deep…”

“Hahaha---”

Lin Cheng laughed, “Scoff, this old man can spend days without eating. He came here to tell us he wants some food but who knows how much he can eat. But he can’t eat for nothing, after that ask him to teach you some moves. This old man is really skilled with the sword, he should be the top in the world now.”

“What?”

Father was confused, “Lu Li when did you know how to use the sword? You…”

“Nothing.”

I smiled awkwardly, “Father I am free so I am just playing along, it is fine…”

“Oh…”

He nodded, “Okay. Zhou Chi and Lin Cheng are both reputable seniors, learn from them and they will teach you helpful things, better than spending time with that brat Shi Shangfei.”

I nodded, not bothering to diss back.

……

Not long later it was time to eat.

The lunch was quite a spread, the few chefs worked together. The first dish was really feeling, it was a whole pig and then there were all sorts of Jiangnan dishes. 20+ dishes and they were from all different cuisines. I was shocked. Although my family dind’t lack money but 20+ dishes for a meal, that was really rare. Only new years eve would we do such a thing.

In the end, Zhou Chi and Lin Cheng became like two old kids. They stared at the dishes and their eyes were about to turn green.
