Chapter 199: Bad Habits
Cable car in the sky.
Luo Yan traveled back to Canghe Academy alone.
At that moment, his phone rang.
It was a call from Guang Qi.
Luo Yan answered the call.
Guang Qi’s faint voice came through the phone, “I thought you were a low-key person.”
Luo Yan chuckled.
“Things change with time,” he replied.
Guang Qi said, “I watched the video, it seems like an accidental event for you.”
“Did you only decide to act on the spur of the moment after learning about Chu Yunfei’s identity?”
Luo Yan calmly said, “Even if he’s not Chu Yunfei, people who point guns at me usually don’t end well.”
“It’s a habit.”
Guang Qi fell silent, then said, “Killing Chu Yunfei shouldn’t be just because he is part of the Chu family, right?”
“Do you want Chu Zhao to make a rash mistake?”
Luo Yan looked out the window at Qingyang under the night sky, the lights twinkling and creating a unique beauty.
“Killing Ding Yang is easy.”
“But getting to Chu Zhao won’t be so simple.”
Luo Yan whispered, “He’s keeping a nest of vipers.”
“With Changsun being killed now, I reckon he’ll be furious.”
“On the other hand.”
“He secretly communicated with the army.”
“The army also made it clear that they would no longer protect me.”
“If I were Chu Zhao, I wouldn’t let myself return to the academy.”
“So, on the way back to the academy now, there may be several snakes waiting for me.”
“Usually, these snakes are always around Chu Zhao.”
“They rarely go out.”
“They should be out of the cave now.”
“Dealing with the snakes outside the cave should be easier than inside the snake pit.”
Guang Qi said, “Even if you can handle those venomous snakes, trying to deal with Chu Zhao is still not easy.”
She paused.
And then said,
“Are you trying to show your worth to Hong Dongxing?”
“You have another purpose for killing Chu Yunfei tonight.”
“Are you trying to lure Hong Dongxing out too?”
Luo Yan calmly said, “Even if Chu Zhao doesn’t have that nest of snakes anymore, he still has a brother who is the Finance Minister.”
“I am alone and have little power. Both the army and the academy can be relied upon, but ultimately there is not a deep connection.”
“Once it involves deeper interests, it will be like tonight.”
“While it may protect me temporarily, it won’t protect me forever.”
“I need someone to help me.”
“Hong Dongxing is a good choice.”
“But based on the information you provided, if I reach out to him first.”
“He may not pay attention to me.”
“He made it on his own, people like him believe in themselves more.”
“Also, if I approach him, he might feel manipulated.”
“Would someone like him be willing to be used as a tool?”
“No.”
Guang Qi took the lead, “I understand.”
“You killed Chu Yunfei and stirred up a storm, Hong Dongxing will definitely find out.”
“By now, he is paying attention to you.”
“If you can survive the revenge of the Chu family tonight, even kill a few snakes.”
“Hong Dongxing will see you as valuable for his plans.”
“He will use you to attack the Chu family, and then he will approach you willingly.”
“He sees you as prey, while he sees himself as the hunter.”
“But little does he know, you are just a hunter pretending to be prey.”
Luo Yan shook his head, “I can’t really call myself a hunter.”
“I simply used Hong Dongxing and he used me.”
“He wanted to use my knife to kill Chu Zhao.”
“I wanted to use his influence to control Chu Mo.”
“I just acted humbly to make this happen faster.”
Guang Qi then said, “I understand.”
“If the ‘Red Alliance Chamber of Commerce’ is attacked, it will be easier for our ‘Nine Phoenix’ group to infiltrate.”
“I will help you in this matter.”
“For free.”
Guang Qi continued, “Let’s start with the first service, providing an escape route.”
“My advice is to focus on getting to the academy safely tonight.”
“If you can kill the poisonous snake, go ahead. But don’t force it if you can’t.”
“It’s good to put some pressure on Hong Dongxing too.”
“We can’t let him off easily, making him do nothing but withstand Chu Mo’s pressure.”
Luo Yan nodded, then realized a bad habit of his.
He was too used to solving problems by himself.
To the point where he even thought about involving Hong Dongxing, but still wanted to handle everything on his own.
Guang Qi is right.
As long as he can make it through tonight.
This impressed Hong Dongxing a lot, there was no need to prove anything by killing snakes anymore.
The best choice is to leave some questions for Hong Dongxing to handle.
Guang Qi continued, “Regarding the escape route, I think it’s best to enter the bustling city.”
“The reason is, no matter how arrogant the Chu family is, they wouldn’t dare to fight openly in the city.”
“Otherwise, they would be crossing the army’s bottom line.”
“The army will never allow anyone to openly chase and kill the Mecha Master, the Mecha Master is the foundation of the army.”
“If we don’t uphold the Mecha Master, how will the army operate?”
Luo Yan thought it made a lot of sense.
Guang Qi said, “You will get off the aerial cable car at the next station, I will promptly plan the route and send it to your phone.”
“Remember to catch it.”
“Also, under your cable car seat, there is a sword.”
“Although it’s not your usual one, and not a Heavy Weapon.”
“But still better than facing enemies empty-handed.”
Luo Yan was surprised once again.
Guang Qi actually had this kind of preparation.
And it looks like.
She informed herself of these preparations only after planning to get involved in this matter.
It was the thought of having a ‘worthwhile investment’ that made her.
Otherwise, Guang Qi won’t say anything.
This phone.
Just checking things out.
Communication over.
Luo Yan was about to stand up when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a red light in the corner of his eye.
Sniper?
Luo Yan quickly crouched down, knowing he still had at least 2 minutes until reaching the next checkpoint.
The cable car was hanging in mid-air again.
But Luo Yan didn’t have any chance to avoid being shot by a sniper.
At that moment, he envied Sheng Yitian’s special magic skill.
Even though ‘Empty Feather’ couldn’t directly attack, it allowed Sheng Yitian to ignore most terrain obstacles.
Bang!
The window of the aerial cable car shattered, signaling the start of an attack.
Luo Yan quickly uncovered a sleek black sword from a compartment under his seat.
Pulling it out, the sword gleamed brightly, showing its sharp edge.
Not a heavy weapon, but still a useful tool.
With a weapon in hand.
Luo Yan felt a bit more at ease.
Just then.
He heard a loud noise.
This time.
Luo Yan’s face also changed.
Is it a rocket?
Suddenly, something crashed into the cable car window.
But it wasn’t a shell.
It was a smoke bomb.
As soon as it hit the ground, it released a lot of thick smoke.
Luo Yan was afraid of toxic smoke, so he quickly climbed out of the window and onto the roof of the cable car.
Here, the night wind howled, blowing his dark hair back.
In his red eyes, a silver cross appeared.
Luo Yan looked towards the direction of the attack, trying to find the sniper, but the opponent was probably hiding out of sight.
Luo Yan didn’t see anything.
No desire.
A few seconds later.
He saw a gray light drifting towards him in the darkness of night.
That gray light, with wings spread, looked like some kind of bird of prey.
Luo Yan had a question in his mind.
Are there fierce birds in the underground city?
