Chapter 379 Everyone is in a state of confusion
Ahu moved stealthily along the way: "I have to find Lu Zong and explain everything clearly to His Majesty."
Unexpectedly, he ran into Qi Meishao. Ahu was puzzled—why were all these people in Lu Zong's villa?
Ahu questioned, "Where is Lu Zong? What have you done to him?"
Qi Meishao became furious the moment she heard Lu Chengwen's name. "What does it have to do with you?"
Ahu roared angrily, "Traitor! I'll kill you!"
Everything became chaotic.
Lu Chengwen had originally fainted and had his acupoints sealed.
Jiang Xiaohou appeared, smiled as he unsealed his acupoints, and then hid to watch the show.
In the office, Long Aotian had just finished a video call with Li Meiqin.
"Lu Zong, do you have any instructions?"
Long Aotian smiled slightly. "I need you to do something for me."
"Please speak."
"I need you to immediately mobilize all available funds and transfer them all to..."
At that moment, Cheqi Tianwang entered through the window. "Lu Chengwen! Prepare to die!"
Long Aotian instantly shut off the tablet and shouted, "Who goes there?"
"Your old man!"
With that, he struck out with a palm.
Bang!
The two martial masters clashed palms, each retreating a few steps, both equally astonished.
Cheqi Tianwang cursed inwardly—What the hell!?
This was supposed to be mid-fourth-tier high-level!?
This guy's true energy was even stronger than mine—this was upper-fourth-tier high-level!
Long Aotian had just gained the upper hand over Lu Chengwen when an unexpected fool barged in, making his eyes turn red with rage. "If you get the hell out of here now, I can pretend nothing happened!"
Cheqi Tianwang sneered. "Die, my son!"
Long Aotian let out a furious roar and engaged in battle.
Meanwhile, in the basement, Lu Chengwen rubbed his head, sat up, and suddenly felt something was off.
His villa was surrounded by martial artists radiating powerful energy waves—obviously, a full-scale battle had broken out!
Lu Chengwen scrambled to his feet, staggered towards the exit, and as he passed a mirror, he came to an abrupt stop. "Damn it! Long Aotian, you bastard! Not again! Shit, Xiaohou!"
Lu Chengwen wasn't worried about anyone else. Most of the people here were under Long Aotian, and Hua Xuening was skilled enough that ordinary people wouldn't be able to do anything to her.
But Xiaohou was just an ordinary kid—timid, innocent, pure-hearted, and easily frightened…
If she saw this group of monsters fighting, wouldn't she be scared to death?
Jiang Xiaohou hid in the shadows, smirking.
This guy's entire house was in chaos, yet he was still worried about his little sister.
Lu Chengwen crouched as he sneaked into a room, pulled open a drawer, and took out a backup phone to call the strategist. "Send everyone over! The whole place is a mess. Oh, right, I switched faces with Long Aotian. Remember, we swapped faces—tell the brothers not to get the wrong person!"
The strategist responded immediately, "It will take some time, but we'll be there as soon as possible."
Lu Chengwen hung up and hid, spotting Ayin, Axiao, and Luo Shiyin.
Ayin couldn't match Luo Shiyin in a fight—she could basically beat him down effortlessly.
Let alone with Axiao also in the mix!
Ayin was fuming. "Axiao, do you even know what you're doing!?"
Axiao kept a stern face. "Ayin, in this place, apart from me, I'm afraid no one else knows what they're doing. Do you? Do you even know what you're fighting for?"
Ayin was stunned.
Axiao continued, "Do you know where you are right now? Do you know who you're fighting against?"
"We… we're capturing Lu Chengwen!"
"And then?"
Ayin was dumbfounded.
Axiao gave a bitter smile. "Do you really think Cheqi Tianwang came to take us back? Do you honestly believe Lu Chengwen will just hand over the money if we capture him? Do you seriously think everything will go back to how it was before?"
Ayin stomped his foot. "I don't know anymore! Long Aotian hates me! Lu Chengwen is now my enemy! We can't go back to Tianwang! I… I just don't know anymore…"
"Then why are you still fighting?"
Axiao said, "Does it even matter? Their struggle, their fight for power and profit, has nothing to do with us anymore. We're just pawns to be used and discarded."
Ayin's eyes welled up with tears. "Are we… really doomed to die in Xuecheng?"
He gripped his sword tightly. "I refuse to accept this!"
Axiao looked up at the moonlit sky. "I no longer have any expectations for the martial world. The only thing I want in this life is to stay by her side and protect her until I die in battle."
If it had been any other woman, she might have been touched.
But unfortunately, he had fallen for Luo Shiyin.
Luo Shiyin despised this kind of sentimentality.
Deep devotion? So annoying.
She much preferred someone like Lu Zong—someone who would ruthlessly… torment her, someone she loved the most.
Ayin gritted his teeth, tears streaming down his face. "She's Luo Shiyin! In her eyes, you're nothing but an idiot!"
Axiao smiled. "Look around this house—who here isn't an idiot? We're all fools in different ways. I know she'll never love me, but my love for her has nothing to do with her."
Luo Shiyin sighed. "In a situation as chaotic as this, the best choice is not to make a choice."
Ayin stared at her. "What do you mean?"
Luo Shiyin chuckled. "None of you know where things are heading or which side will have the upper hand. Why keep fighting? Why not just sit back, enjoy the view, and put on a show? Once the situation becomes clearer, you'll know how to make the best choice for yourselves."
The two men exchanged glances and nodded.
So instead of fighting, the three of them sat down together, and Luo Shiyin brewed tea for them.
Lu Chengwen secretly gave her a thumbs-up: Impressive!
I need to find Xiaohou.
He turned and left.
On the second floor, he saw Ahu and Qi Meishao locked in combat.
Ahu fought while taunting, "Beauty, aren't you in a hurry to go to the supermarket today? If you want to go, I'll let you leave!"
Lu Chengwen sighed: You just had to bring that up.
Sure enough, Qi Meishao's face turned red with anger. "Today, I must kill you!"
Ahu got even angrier. "If you don't hand over His Majesty, I'll kill you!"
Lu Chengwen thought to himself, I'd better get out of here.
When he reached the third floor, good heavens, it was even livelier.
Fubo Tianwang and Cheqi Tianwang were both fighting "Lu Chengwen."
The battle was nothing short of spectacular.
Long Aotian felt that something was off. Why was Fubo Tianwang here too? Weren't they on the same side? Could it be that he was also part of a big organization?
"Wait a minute! Let's get this straight—who are you people?"
Cheqi Tianwang roared, "I already told you, I'm your father!"
As he shouted, he unleashed a deadly move.
Fubo Tianwang remained silent but attacked as well.
However, as the fight continued, something felt wrong.
What the hell—wasn't this Lu Chengwen?! This damn fighting style—wasn't it Long Aotian's?!
Fubo Tianwang thought for a moment.
This time, he was probably doomed. Who knew what kind of orders Cheqi Tianwang had received?
Most likely, in the end, they would fight desperately, only for Cheqi Tianwang to kill him off.
All the credit and rewards would go to him alone.
Since that was the case, why not drag him down too?
So, once he confirmed that the opponent was Long Aotian, he fought even harder.
After all, it wasn't like they hadn't fought before! Right?
He was already used to it.
And every time Long Aotian tried to open his mouth to explain, Fubo Tianwang would immediately cut him off—just wouldn't let him talk, just wouldn't let him!
Just fight! The two of them beating up one—later on, this kid wouldn't be able to go back either. Let's see what he does then!
So, Fubo Tianwang shouted loudly, "Grandson, take this move from your grandpa!"
Cheqi Tianwang saw that Fubo Tianwang was finally using his real skills and got excited. "Nice move! Hey, damn you, don't take advantage of me!"
Lu Chengwen didn't dare to breathe too loudly and hurriedly slipped away.
Back on the second floor, he saw that Ahu and Qi Meishao were still fighting.
Lu Chengwen analyzed the situation. If it were Luo Shiyin, she would have definitely told me about this plan in advance.
But Luo Shiyin never mentioned anything about a face-swapping plan, which meant Long Aotian must have kept it from her.
So, the only people who knew about this were probably Long Aotian and Qi Meishao.
Maybe it was that damn girl who got me into this mess!
As soon as Lu Chengwen thought of this, rage surged in his heart, and his courage grew.
He gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and quietly made his way to the first floor.
Zhuge Xiaohua and A'Long crashed through the window, fell outside, and started fighting.
Lu Chengwen just so happened to be right under the window.
Zhuge Xiaohua turned his head and glanced back. "Young Master!?"
A'Long was also stunned. "Young Master!?"
Zhuge Xiaohua looked at A'Long. "Why are you calling him Young Master!?"
A'Long said, "We've already returned to the Young Master's side! Most likely."
"What!?"
Lu Chengwen said, "Xiaohua, stop fighting, we're on the same side."
A'Long was overjoyed. "Cheqi Tianwang already told you? Young Master? Cheqi Tianwang said we've switched sides now and are here to help you."
Lu Chengwen said, "Lu Chengwen is upstairs, go help him."
"Yes!"
Zhuge Xiaohua said, "I'll go too!"
Lu Chengwen sternly said, "You stay put. What does this have to do with you? Get back here!"
"Oh."
Lu Chengwen shouted at him, "Ahu is on the second floor, being held up by Qi Meishao. You and him take care of Qi Meishao together, then go upstairs."
"Yes."
A'Long had just leaped onto the second-floor rain tower when he realized something was wrong.
What!? Ahu and Qi Meishao were fighting!?
Aren't they on the same side? If they just talked, they wouldn't have to fight!
So confusing! Whatever… Just follow the Young Master's orders.
A'Long charged in, shouting, "By the Young Master's command, I am here to defeat Qi Meishao!"
Ahu laughed heartily. "Good brother, let's join forces to beat up a woman!"
Zhuge Xiaohua walked up to Lu Chengwen and asked, "Young Master, what the hell is going on?"
"Don't worry about it, just stay put."
Zhuge Xiaohua went down to the first floor and found that the three big shots there weren't fighting at all—they were drinking tea.
Zhuge Xiaohua felt like his brain couldn't keep up.
What was going on!?
Luo Shiyin looked a bit embarrassed. "Xiaohua, don't worry. I've already got them under control."
The two men drinking tea looked completely dumbfounded.
Luo Shiyin whispered, "I'm lying."
A'Yin nodded, glanced at Zhuge Xiaohua, and continued drinking tea.
A'Xiao was enjoying himself. "Miss Shiyin brewed this tea with her own hands. I've never had tea this good in my life…"
Lu Chengwen sneaked in, turned around, and saw all four of them looking at him.
Lu Chengwen straightened his back. "Ah, drinking tea, huh."
A'Yin and A'Xiao quickly stood up, half preparing for battle, half respectfully saying, "Y-Young Master."
"Mm, sit down, keep drinking."
The two were even more confused.
The Young Master was being so easygoing today—was Cheqi Tianwang really that influential?
Luo Shiyin suddenly grew anxious. She looked up at the ceiling and thought, At this very moment, who is fighting upstairs!?
Crap! My beloved!
Luo Shiyin was about to rush upstairs.
Lu Chengwen stopped her. "Hold it, where are you going?"
"I'm going to help! Lu Zong is up there alone against so many people!"
Lu Chengwen found it amusing but kept a stern face. "Stay put."
"But—"
"But my ass, I'll give you something good to eat later."
"Huh?"
Lu Chengwen gave her a meaningful look.
