Chapter 1953 - 1926: The Identity of the Man in Black?
Since Lu Tianxing left Eagle Country and returned to China, two full days have passed, and Lu Tianxing has been in a coma for two days as well, and today is the third day.
During these three days, Jiang Liufeng seemed to have aged decades, unable to sleep at night, unable to focus on food or drink, his heart entirely tied to Lu Tianxing.
Especially when he saw Lu Tianxing unconscious, carried in by the Starving Ghost, Jiang Liufeng fell into a frenzy, wishing he could immediately storm into America and India, wiping out the Brahman and the American Superman Team entirely.
In this world, Lu Tianxing was his only family. If anything happened to him, Jiang Liufeng would truly become a solitary loner forever.
Although Jiang Liufeng knew very well that these were things Lu Tianxing had to go through, only by overcoming each layer of danger could he truly turn peril into safety and soar high into the skies like an eagle.
But knowing is one thing; hearing what Lu Tianxing went through in Eagle Country, a brush with near-death, Jiang Liufeng couldn’t help but feel a pang of reluctance, finding the pressure on someone of Lu Tianxing’s age to be overwhelming, more than anyone could bear.
Especially seeing Bai Zhiqing, Lin Qianru, and the other girls crying their hearts out, Jiang Liufeng’s heart grew even heavier.
Now, seeing Lu Tianxing awake, the calm on Jiang Liufeng’s face disappeared, replaced by excitement.
Lu Tianxing smiled weakly at Bai Zhiqing, Lin Qianru, and Mandala, who still had tears on their faces, and said, "Can you stop crying and get me a glass of water, or I’m really done for."
"Wait a moment."
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing didn’t hesitate, quickly ran to the water dispenser, filled a cup with water, then turned back, but did not give it to Lu Tianxing directly. Instead, she gently sat on the bedside, helped Lu Tianxing sit up, letting him lean on her shoulder, and only then did she bring the cup gently to his lips.
"Tianxing, you’re still weak, drink slowly and don’t choke."
Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing with infinite tenderness.
Lu Tianxing nodded lightly, took a small sip, but suddenly his expression changed as if remembering something, and he asked urgently, "Where is Angel? How is Angel?"
He remembered that before he passed out, Angel seemed to also be unable to withstand and fainted with him. Now that he was back, where was Angel?
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words and seeing his undisguised anxiety, Bai Zhiqing sighed softly in her heart but still responded, "Tianxing, Angel is fine, she’s resting and recovering in the room next door!"
On hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Lu Tianxing felt a slight relief but then fixed his gaze on Bai Zhiqing: "Wife, I..."
"Tianxing, I know what you want to say, don’t worry, I’m fine." Bai Zhiqing interrupted Lu Tianxing’s words as if she knew what he wanted to say, smiling softly.
Listening to Bai Zhiqing, Lu Tianxing glanced deeply at her, yet said nothing more, his gaze swept over Lin Qianru and Mandala, whose faces were filled with delight, flashed a smile at them, and finally, his gaze fell on Jiang Liufeng.
Looking at Jiang Liufeng’s aged appearance, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, slowly spoke, "Grandfather, I’m sorry for making you worry."
"It’s alright, as long as you’re fine."
Jiang Liufeng smiled and said, "You stay here and recover well, no one will dare touch you. Your friends are fine too; they’re on Qin Island. I’ve arranged for them to recover elsewhere and specialty care has been arranged for them, no need to worry, once your wounds are healed, you’ll see them soon."
"Grandfather, thank you..."
As Jiang Liufeng spoke, warmth flowed through Lu Tianxing’s eyes.
"Silly boy, do you need to say thank you to me?"
Jiang Liufeng looked at Lu Tianxing with compassion and said, "I’m your grandfather, you’re my grandson, my only grandson. If I don’t help you, who will?"
"Your body isn’t well yet. Rest for now; leave everything to me, I’ll handle whatever comes your way."
As he said this, Jiang Liufeng’s eyes flashed coldly for a moment, a hint of chilling hostility emanated fleetingly, this time, were it not for the sudden leaks about Lu Tianxing, he wouldn’t have faced near-death situations. Whoever the mastermind is, once found, will meet their demise.
"Okay."
Lu Tianxing nodded heavily, hesitated and then said, "Grandfather, I met someone in Eagle Country, and it’s because of him that I turned peril into safety."
"Someone?"
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Jiang Liufeng’s eyes flashed sharply, his voice urgent, "Do you know who this person is? What did he look like?"
Seeing Jiang Liufeng’s reaction, Lu Tianxing felt puzzled; he had never seen his grandfather so excited before, did Jiang Liufeng know this man in black?
Although puzzled, Lu Tianxing still said, "I couldn’t see through his appearance, his entire body wrapped in a black robe, even his face was shrouded in a layer of black mist, my power couldn’t pierce through it, and his voice was specially modified, obviously intending to hide his identity."
Pausing, Lu Tianxing continued, "However, he said I resembled someone he once knew and told me that enemies I will face are far more terrifying than I imagined and advised me to enhance my strength; after saying that, he left."
"Left?"
Jiang Liufeng frowned slightly, said sternly, "Tianxing, do you know the martial arts he used?"
"I don’t know."
Lu Tianxing shook his head and said, "He acted simply with a flash of sword light, yet this sword light could not be resisted even by Shiva at the Late Stage of Mythical level. I sensed his power was incredibly terrifying, even stronger than my grandfather by a margin."
