Chapter 9: The Cause and Effect Must Be Explained by Oneself
Chapter 9: The Cause and Effect Must Be Explained by Oneself
Half an hour ago.
Earth, China, Guangzhou, near the Post and Telecommunications Building.
Liang Junjie watched as a group of bodyguards got out of three SUVs, and then saw an old man he knew very well getting out of a car that was hanging behind them.
"Yu Xueji's grandfather?! How did he suddenly end up in this area?"
"Grandpa Yu! Grandpa Yu!"
Liang Junjie called out twice, then ran up to Yu Guojun, wanting to pat the old man on the back, but was stopped by the bodyguard.
"Young Liang...? What are you doing here?"
Yu Guojun asked curiously, his expression remaining calm even now.
"I just came here with the police to locate Xueji's phone. We arrived at a skyscraper nearby."
"But satellite positioning shows that it's not this post and telecommunications building, but Building A, which is 100 meters ahead."
After Liang Junjie finished speaking, he pointed to the skyscrapers in front of him.
Yu Guojun glanced at it, and his expression immediately darkened.
"You and the police officer go first, I'll come back later. And this is for you."
Upon hearing this, Liang Junjie put away the jade token that had been handed to him. He didn't seem to be in any hurry and instead ran towards the skyscraper.
At the same time, messages about the search for Yu Xueji were also posted in the group one after another.
"Thank you all for your hard work. I've located her. Everyone, go home and rest now. We'll get together again after I rescue her."
After Liang Junjie sent this message, the group chat was filled with responses and blessings.
After putting away his phone, he arrived at the first floor of the skyscraper. Without any intention of being polite, Liang Junjie took out the jade pendant directly.
"Take me to the top floor, and hurry!"
The receptionist led Liang Junjie directly to the elevator.
Meanwhile, in a secluded corner, a cleaning lady was patting her broom, her eyes filled with malice, viciousness, and longing.
"Special target has appeared."
A special signal came through Su Li's earpiece, which translated to this sentence.
"It seems your young master has come looking for you."
Su Li chuckled and then lifted Yu Xueji's chin.
"But I'd like to see whether he's faster or your father is faster?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xueji's expression turned extremely ugly. Her brain was still working, but having experienced torture and suffocation at high altitude, her head was already somewhat dizzy.
"There are still three minutes left~ Will he make it in time?" Su Li's voice was soft, but it was like a devil's whisper.
"Two minutes left~"
"One minute left~"
"Sorry~ It seems you're not important to either of them~"
Su Li slowly approached Yu Xueji and reached out to push him towards her body.
Just when things were at their most critical, Liang Junjie finally arrived!
Without a word, without any nonsense, he activated the Starfire Technique at full power for the first time, his figure rapidly approaching, leaving behind a trail of starlight and flames.
He then kicked Su Li's arm, instantly fracturing it and then severing it. Su Li flew towards the skyscraper like a kite with a broken string.
In just ten seconds, Su Li turned into a blood-red ice cream.
On Qian Hu's side, after hearing Su Li's scream and a loud electronic interference sound through his earpiece, he knew that things had taken an unpredictable turn.
"Very good, very good. As expected of the Yu family. We'll meet again."
Before Yu Guojun could react, Qian Hu jumped out of the window and escaped.
Yu Guojun rushed to the window and looked down. He saw that Qian Hu had already escaped down the water pipe, but he was running.
At the top of the skyscraper, Liang Junjie quickly untied the ropes from Yu Xueji.
"You idiot, you were being followed for so long and didn't even notice? And why don't you have any bodyguards with you?"
After Liang Junjie helped Yu Xueji up, he supported her and asked her.
"I don't like having bodyguards following me... and... I'm not an idiot!"
Listening to Yu Xueji's words, Liang Junjie had already come to a conclusion: a proud and arrogant young lady.
Just as Liang Junjie was helping Yu Xueji downstairs, his phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was Huo Chuyu calling.
Liang Junjie answered the call in a bad mood.
He didn't say anything, just listened to Huo Chuyu feeding the baby.
Finally, Liang Junjie couldn't stand Huo Chuyu anymore and asked a question that was both gentle and barbed.
"Master, do you remember me now? Just now, I almost watched... my friend die in front of me."
After a long silence, Huo Chuyu on the other end of the phone hung up.
In the Earth's atmosphere, Huo Chuyu took a step and merged into the world, appearing beside Liang Junjie and Yu Xueji.
Boom!Boom!
Two quick snaps of roasted chestnuts landed on the heads of the two men.
"I let you open the Immortal Group not only to increase the Huo family's power, but also to give you a chance to change your lives."
"Some things, though changed by life's alterations, still remain. Just like the fake person you encountered at the comic convention, even though I dealt with him, the cause and effect still exist."
"And Xueji's life has changed because of your appearance, which has also led to this calamity in her life."
"It can be said that the karmic tribulations of the two of you have come to a perfect conclusion today. If you hadn't saved Xueji in time, the result would have been Xueji's death."
At this point, Huo Chuyu paused, looked at the two who were still very unhappy with her and remained silent, and sighed.
"There are some things that your master doesn't want to get involved in, but the karma lies with you, and you need to untangle it yourselves. If I help you, it will only worsen the karma."
"Moreover, in some mysterious way, your karma has also excluded me from this event, preventing me from participating."
After Huo Chuyu finished speaking, she looked calmly at the two of them.
Liang Junjie wasn't one to dwell on trivial matters. After listening to the explanation, he looked at Yu Xueji.
"Xueji, are you feeling better?"
After experiencing a series of mishaps, seeing Huo Chuyu appear out of nowhere, and hearing a barrage of explanations from the other party, Yu Xueji was already drowsy.
But Liang Junjie's greetings immediately sobered her up considerably.
"Let go..."
Yu Xueji's voice was soft, but resolute.
Liang Junjie immediately let go of her, but seeing that she was about to fall, he helped her up again.
"I'll wait until your father arrives before I release it."
And so, upon reaching the foot of the skyscraper, the three of them saw Yu Guojun waiting at the entrance.
Yu Guojun naturally saw them as well, and he quickly stepped closer, with his bodyguards following suit.
"Grandpa Yu, your granddaughter."
After Liang Junjie helped Yu Xueji into Yu Guojun's arms, he withdrew.
Yu Xueji quickly fell asleep in her grandfather's arms, making even breathing sounds.
Yu Guojun looked at Liang Junjie, then glanced at the bodyguard beside him.
The bodyguard understood and took out a briefcase containing five crystal-clear stones.
This wasn't the first time Liang Junjie had seen this kind of stone.
"Spirit Stones..."
"Grandpa Yu, you know what this is, right?"
After asking his question, Liang Junjie stared at Yu Guojun. Only after the other party nodded did he put the item away.
Huo Chuyu, who had been watching from the side, transmitted her voice and said, "High-grade spirit stones were very rare in my time. Now that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so chaotic, to still be able to give high-grade spirit stones as a gift is quite a generous gift."
After saying goodbye to the Yu family, it was already dark.
Liang Junjie sat on Huo Chuyu's flying sword magic weapon and slowly flew towards home.
"Master, when will I be able to become as strong as you? Or at least be able to fly on my own..."
Huo Chuyu shook her head and chuckled, "Haha, I'll wait until you reach the Golden Core stage."
