C122 Old Man Liu's Return

Zheng Lei occasionally heard the sound of hard work coming from other dormitories. He leaned on his bed and sighed at the impossibility of human hearts, he did not know what the current universities were used for, so many pure and innocent people had turned into "mature" people after being baptized by this miniature society. He did not know what they had obtained, but at least they had lost something of value, something of value.

Although everyone knew about this life, there were still wave after wave of people who put all their effort into using their brains to rush towards this virgin land that had been reclaimed countless times by others. They dreamt that their future life would be different from others.

Zheng Lei did not spread out the bed sheets. The dust on top of the bed was still the same, not because he was used to being dirty like this, but because he felt that his bed was the only one left, and the others bed were all dirty, so he could not sleep. Even if he made up everyone's bed, he was still the only one sleeping. Zheng Lei didn't like this kind of feeling, so at this moment he was quietly leaning against his bed without even turning on the light.

After lying down for a while, Zheng Lei walked over to Ming-ge's bedside and lifted up the pillow. Sure enough, there was still half a pack of unfinished cigarettes.

He picked up the half-pack of cigarettes, returned to his bed and lightly lit one. He sat there and savored the bitterness from the tobacco.

The cigarette butts flickered in and out of the darkness, like a human heartbeat.

Zheng Lei didn't smoke often. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't smoke unless he had something to worry about. Only when he faced something that was difficult to bear, would he quietly light a cigarette and carefully taste the bitterness within the cigarette.

Suddenly, the sound of flustered footsteps came from outside the door. Zheng Lei hurriedly extinguished his cigarette and rushed out the door.

He saw that in many of the dormitories, there were men, women, and men running out in a fluster.

Seeing their flustered expressions, Zheng Lei thought in his heart, "What happened? Why were these people so nervous? "Could it be …" Zheng Lei rushed to the door of one of the rooms and peered through the crack in the door. He saw a man and a woman kissing, seemingly reluctant to part with each other.

What a bunch of brainless people. What are they doing here in the middle of the night? Kissing could have been in a boy's dormitory. Zheng Lei thought helplessly in his heart.

Zheng Lei shook his head and returned to his dorm.

Just as he closed the door, Zheng Lei suddenly heard someone hurriedly say, "Old Man Liu is back!"

"Old Man Liu?" Zheng Lei's heart tightened. He quickly left the dormitory and ran towards Old Man Liu's residence.

Old Man Liu was stunned when he saw that Zheng Lei had arrived. It was obvious that he did not expect it to be Zheng Lei.

"When did you get back?" Old Man Liu invited Zheng Lei into the room and asked.

"I just got back this morning. What about you? It seems like it's about time for you to leave. Even the lock of the door is covered in dust. " Zheng Lei looked at the door lock.

"Oh, I left for a while to investigate some things." Old Man Liu tidied up his things and said without turning his head.

"Investigate something?" Zheng Lei suddenly thought of the matter of his roommates' disappearance and could not help but feel shocked in his heart.

I don't think that Old Man Liu would refuse to teach Sande Kung Fu. Although he may not necessarily accept Sande as a disciple, with Old Man Liu's character, as long as there is a true Master and a disciple, he will take good care of Sande.

Old Liu nodded and said, "They disappeared together, do you know?"

"Yeah, I know, that's why I'm here to investigate."

Old Liu lowered his head and thought for a moment. "After such a long investigation, I found some clues. I heard that they were hidden in a place called the Longquan Tower. However, I was unable to find this building."

"Dragon Spring Hall? In Nanshan City? " Zheng Lei asked.

Old man Liu took out a map of Nanshan City from the drawer and said, "This map is the latest commercial map. All the buildings in Nanshan City will be displayed on this map, but I can't find the Longquan Tower on top of it."

"Could it be that the map is a bit out of date, or perhaps there has been some newly built building?" Even though Zheng Lei asked this question, he didn't think it was appropriate. After all, Old Man Liu had said that this map was the latest version.

This won't happen. From the time this map was printed until now, there hasn't been any for two months, and during this period of time, I've been constantly searching around Nanshan City. Not only did I not find Dragon Spring Hall, I didn't even find any news about Jiang Cheng. Old Man Liu said.

Zheng Lei stood up and walked in front of the map. He looked at the map little by little. A building that could be called a "skyscraper" was definitely not an extremely weak building under normal circumstances.

Nanshan City was a city by the sea, so on the map, half of it was in a variety of colors, while the other half was a large area of sky blue. However, it was not easy to find the name of a skyscraper on this colourful map, not to mention that this name did not exist on the map.

After searching for a while, Zheng Lei felt his head hurt, but he still couldn't find any useful clues. Occasionally, he would find a place with the word "Dragon" or "Spring" on it.

However, Old Man Liu could not find any trace of him in these places.

Old man Liu saw that Zheng Lei was looking for a map, but he couldn't come up with anything. He said to Zheng Lei, "Don't bother looking for one. The use of this map is no longer so great. What have you learned from this trip?"

Zheng Lei smiled and said, "I can't hide anything from your eyes. I studied cultivation in White Cloud Temple and have already reached Foundation Establishment."

"Foundation Establishment?" "Hmm, not bad. I didn't expect you to be unable to learn, but you still have quite the potential for the path of cultivation." Old Man Liu said.

Zheng Lei originally thought that Old Man Liu might not know the meaning of the word "Foundation Establishment," but he still wanted to show off and explain it to Old Man Liu. Unexpectedly, Old Man Liu had such an expression.

"So you know about Foundation Establishment. You also read novels?" Zheng Lei asked.

"Me? Reading novels? Isn't this young man too funny? "This old man, I …" Old man Liu stopped midway and said, "I know a bit about cultivation, of course I know the meaning of 'Foundation Establishment'. Moreover, I have a few friends who are also cultivators, some of them have already reached the Core Formation stage."
