C169 Something Has Happened to My Parents

After school was let out, Zheng Lei waited at the entrance of the female dormitory. Not long later, he saw Shui Rou and Yue Qingmei returning together.

Seeing Zheng Lei, Shui Rou's eyes lit up and she ran over with a smile.

"Why are you here? Wait for me? " Hugging the book, Shui Rou said happily.

"Ugh …" There's one thing I want to confirm. " Zheng Lei said as he scratched his head.

"What is it?"

Zheng Lei pointed at Yue Qingmei and said, "It might be related to her."

"Something to do with Qing Mei? "What's going on? Why is it so mysterious?" Shui Rou asked, then shouted at Yue Qingmei, "Qingmei, come here. Our handsome brother Zheng is looking for you for something!"

Zheng Lei felt a headache coming on. He didn't expect Shui Rou to say this to him.

"What is it?" Yue Qingmei still had a cold expression on her face, as if Zheng Lei owed her two pounds of black bean money.

"Yesterday afternoon, you said those words of mine. Have you ever told anyone else about it?" Zheng Lei asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Pretty boy." Zheng Lei said word by word.

Yue Qingmei's eyes widened as she stared at Zheng Lei. After a while, she said, "Is this the pretty boy that I need to talk to? You should be clear about it! " After speaking, Yue Qingmei turned and left.

Seeing the atmosphere between the two, Shui Rou quickly pulled Yue Qingmei and said, "Qingmei, if you have something to say, please say it …"

Yue Qingmei brushed Shui Rou's hand away and said, "There's nothing to say!"

Shui Rou stood awkwardly on the spot, not knowing who to comfort. On one side was her good friend, and on the other was the man she liked.

Shui Rou bit her lips and said to Zheng Lei, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen. Qing Mei isn't the kind of person who talks nonsense. She definitely wouldn't have said that."

Zheng Lei sighed and said, "Forget it, it's just a sentence. I'll help you keep your money. If you need it, I'll send it over anytime. I don't want to be fed by a woman. I'll be going."

Shui Rou bit her lips as she watched Zheng Lei leave. Tears welled up in her eyes.

As Zheng Lei walked back to his dorm, he also felt that his words were a bit too heavy. However, after being said like this, he really didn't feel good about it.

Perhaps because of this incident, Shui Rou did not contact Zheng Lei for the next few days. Zheng Lei also left behind a lot of homework and had to diligently study it, he only did three things every day: one was to attend class, two was to study, and three was to go to Old Man Liu's bamboo garden to cultivate when no one was around.

The Zheng Lei now was no longer the Zheng Lei of the past. Although he had dropped a lot of homework, with the method that Hu Xiaowang had taught him to memorize, it wasn't too difficult for him to study it. Within two weeks time, he was able to catch up to the rest of his homework.

Then, Zheng Lei finally let out a breath. After all, he was still a student and couldn't delay his studies. Otherwise, if he didn't have enough credits and couldn't even get a graduation certificate, how would he find a job in the future?

After being busy with his work, Zheng Lei suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since he called his family. Ever since he changed his cell phone number, he had been busy with this sort of thing, never having the time to call his parents back home.

He took out the phone and dialed his home number, but got an unanswered call, so he called the village chief's house.

When the call connected, the village chief excitedly said, "Aiya, Lei Zi, you finally called back. You really made us worried to death."

"What's wrong? "Uncle?" Zheng Lei immediately became nervous.

"Your parents are gone!"

"What!?" "Uncle, please say it again." Zheng Lei's heart pounded like a drum, not daring to believe the Village Head's words.

"Your parents are gone! "I went to look around today, but the house is still the same. It's just that he hasn't come back yet." The village chief was clearly anxious.

"How long has it been?" Zheng Lei asked in a hurry.

Almost a month has passed. I still remember that day, I was planning to go to your house to borrow a shovel, but when I went to your house, I realized that there was no one there and that all the cows were still at home, so I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. But after three days, I went to visit. Although the simple and honest villagers were unable to help Zheng Lei find his parents, they were still able to bring some help to his home. Even though this help was extremely insignificant.

"Yes, thank you, uncle." After Zheng Lei hung up the phone, his heart began to feel uneasy. Looking at the time, it should have happened during the few days when he rescued his brothers from Di Shui World.

Jiang Long! Zheng Lei suddenly remembered Jiang Cheng's father. He clearly remembered that Jiang Cheng's father had personally warned him before. Zheng Lei had tried his best not to provoke Jiang Cheng, but this time he was only concerned with the safety of his brothers.

Zheng Lei ran back to his dorm like a madman. Seeing his anxious face, Brother Ming asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

"Something happened at home."

"Ah?" "What's wrong?" The five men surrounded him at the same time and asked in unison.

Zheng Lei said with red eyes, "My parents are missing."

"What?" "Where did he go?" "Did you call them?" "Did I not tell you that I was out on a trip?" When did it happen? "

Several people asked at once.

Zheng Lei felt a headache from being asked. Ming Ge shouted: "All of you, don't make a sound!"

Everyone quieted down. Brother Ming said, "Don't panic yet. Tell me the details of the situation."

Zheng Lei took a deep breath to calm himself down and said, "Today, I called my home, but no one answered. I called the Village Chief's house, but he said my parents haven't seen anyone for a month."

Brother Ming thought for a moment and said, "What do you think?"

"When I was at White Cloud Temple, Jiang Cheng's old man went to look for me, and at that time, he threatened me. If I attack Jiang Cheng again, he will harm my family, and I have forgotten about all these things." Zheng Lei said.

"It's Jiang Cheng again." Brother Ming frowned. After a while, he asked, "When are we going back?"

"Now."

"I'll go back with you!" Sande Zi had the temper of a military man.

"No need, I'll go back by myself. I'll contact my master and see if I can get in touch. You guys be careful. I'm afraid that when I go back this time, Jiang Cheng will come back to look for trouble with you." Zheng Lei said solemnly.

"Alright, don't worry about us brothers. You can go back if you need us to do something for you." Brother Ming said.

Zheng Lei scanned the crowd and nodded to them, then went straight to Old Man Liu's room, just in time to see Old Man Liu still there.

"What happened?"

"Something happened at home."

"Parents?"

"Yes."

"What do you need my help with?"

"Help me take care of them. I'm afraid that after I leave, Jiang Cheng will go back to school and cause trouble for them."

"Alright, don't worry about this side. However, I won't be at ease if you go back alone. How about this, I'll call two people to follow you. If anything happens, I'll take care of it." Old Man Liu said.

Zheng Lei did not refuse. He knew that his power was limited, but there were several sects backing Jiang Long. It was hard to say if he could save his parents.

Old Man Liu made a phone call, arranging the tickets as well.

Old Man Liu's underlings arrived at the school gates within half an hour. Zheng Lei sat in the car and bid Old Man Liu farewell before heading to the airport.

On the way to the airport, Zheng Lei contacted Tian Cheng Yang again, but there was no news. Zheng Lei could not help but feel at a loss. Furthermore, even that greedy Martial Uncle was unable to contact him for a while.

After all, he had an agreement with Zhang Hao's grandfather. Right now, the more he owed Zhang Hao a favor, the harder it would be for him to return it in the future. But feeling helpless, he still tried to contact Zhang Hao, but the result was that even Zhang Hao was unable to contact him. He remembered the opportunity to say that Zhang Hao had other things to do during this period of time, so he could only give up.

When they arrived at the airport, they were two hours away from boarding time. After two hours of waiting, Zheng Lei became restless. Every minute he waited, the danger to his parents increased.

Zheng Lei, who was extremely anxious, sat quietly in the waiting room. The two men Old Liu sent to accompany him also sat quietly. They could tell that Zheng Lei was not in a good mood, so they didn't say anything unnecessary.

After two hours of waiting, Zheng Lei felt like two centuries had passed.

Finally, they started checking in and boarding the plane. The moment Zheng Lei heard the broadcast, he impatiently rushed towards the customs office. The two of them protected Zheng Lei from the front and back as they went over together.

Just as Zheng Lei was walking past the customs office, he felt something strange. He turned around and saw a person standing outside the customs office.

The black-rimmed glasses man, Zhang Ting, was standing in the hall with a strange smile on his face as he looked at Zheng Lei.

Why is he here? Zheng Lei thought rapidly in his heart. The people behind him kept urging him, it wasn't good for him to stand in the way of others, so he had no choice but to think along the way. When he raised his head again, Zhang Ting had already disappeared.

Zheng Lei was not the only one who saw Zhang Ting. The moment they walked out of the customs office, Cao Yu, who was walking behind Zheng Lei, said to Zheng Lei and Zheng Rui, "I've discovered a person. There won't be any good occasion for him to appear here."

Zheng Lei felt the person he was talking about was Zhang Ting, so he asked, "Are you talking about Zhang Ting?"

Cao Yu nodded and said, "You guys go first, I'll think of a way to stop him. If he gets on the plane, things will get complicated."

Zheng Lei nodded and said, "Many thanks. You be careful."

"Don't worry, time is of the essence. All of you should board the plane now."

There were only two people like this. When they first started out, they were missing one person. Zheng Lei had a faint feeling that this trip would be very difficult, but no matter how difficult the road ahead was, Zheng Lei would not retreat.

It was just as Cao Yu said. Zhang Ting and Cao Yu didn't appear on the plane until the moment the plane took off. In the end, there were two extra seats on the plane.

Right now, the only person sitting beside Zheng Lei was Jing Yun. Zheng Lei did not know if there were others on this plane. After all, if those cultivators could not reveal their identities, Zheng Lei would not be able to discern anything.

"Big Brother Jing, only the two of us are left. This time, we might encounter a lot of enemies. It's truly …" Zheng Lei said as he looked at Jing Yun.

Jing Yun looked at Zheng Lei and whispered, "Don't worry, you think Elder Jin only sent the two of us? "Don't worry."

Zheng Lei wanted to ask more, but was silenced by Jing Yun's signal. Zheng Lei understood and stopped speaking. After all, there were so many people on the plane, maybe they had enemies with them.

No matter what, this was on the plane. Even if Jiang Long's people were here, they wouldn't foolishly make a move on the plane. After all, provoking a country was not something that a small sect like theirs could handle.

The reason why these sects could still exist was because, up until now, they had not done anything too outrageous. Otherwise, the government would not let these sects off. A few years ago, some idiot said that he had a fire wheel in his stomach and was about to set up a church, then he really bewitched a group of people.

Although from Jing Yun's words, Zheng Lei knew that it was impossible for Old Man Liu to only send the two of them to help Zheng Lei, but from that encounter with Liu Mei, Zheng Lei knew that Old Man Liu was just an overpowered expert. Although a skinny camel was bigger than a horse, the other sects might not necessarily be a horse, and it might even be an elephant.

The plane landed in the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties with endless worry and longing, leaving Zheng Lei at the place where China's first emperor ruled the world.

Old Man Liu had arranged everything well. The moment they got off the plane, Zheng Lei and Jing Yun met up with the people Old Man Liu had arranged for them. Without saying a word, the three of them drove directly to Zheng Lei's hometown, at the foot of the mountain.

As soon as they got into the car, Jing Yun introduced the driver, "Brother Zhuo, this is little brother Qin. He is Elder Jin's best friend."

The driver turned his head and smiled at Zheng Lei. He introduced himself, "Brother Qin, I am of the same sect as Jing Yun. If you don't mind, you can call me brother."

Zheng Lei politely smiled and greeted him. He knew that Zheng Lei had something on his mind, so he didn't talk to him too much. After all, in this kind of environment, Zheng Lei didn't have the mood to chat with others.

"Brother Zhuo, it's been a long time since we last met." Jing Yun said to Extraordinary.

"Hmm, roughly speaking, we haven't seen each other in five years." The driver's name was Extraordinary, and he could be considered a senior brother to Jing Yun.

"The truth is so unpredictable. I didn't think that Elder Jin would let me come this time. It really flattered me." Jing Yun said.

"Me too. When I received the notice from Elder Jin, I was very surprised. There hasn't been any news about Elder Jin for many years. I didn't think that you would be together with Elder Jin." Excellence said.

"Where is it?" If I was really with Elder Jin, my current cultivation would not be this high either. I only found out about Elder Jin's location last year. Jing Yun was a little confused, and at the same time, his words caught Zheng Lei's attention.
