Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

With Chu Tianjiao's abilities and experience, he was able to get a rather stylish courtyard on either side of the bluestone paved path. It seemed that he had somehow passed Xirang's review.

But after all, he is a ghost wearing a mask who has been wandering in the reflection of this city for many years. Many people here do not trust him. Therefore, although Chu Tianjiao has not been imprisoned, there is a lot of surveillance from the orthodox forces nearby.

When Lu Mingfei arrived, the gate to the courtyard was open, the lights were on in the small patio-style courtyard, and the air was filled with the smell of stir-fried scallions and oil, which was a bit pungent. At the end of the corridor, there was a small suite with a closed door, from which the sound of fluent translation and old-fashioned western music could be faintly heard.

"He has seldom gone out since leaving Asgard, and has spent most of his time in this small courtyard. His only request was for the guards on duty outside to get him newspapers and scientific magazines from recent years. He also asked for a computer, but we have been monitoring his movements in real time. The computer has not sent any information to the outside world. It has only checked the logs on the Night's Watch forum and the Hunter's website. He should be trying to use this method to find out the major events that have taken place in the mixed-blood society during the years when he has been controlled by Odin." Lord Wa was eating a steaming roasted sweet potato with a grin on her face. Lu Mingfei was holding a fruit basket and milk in his hands, looking like he was visiting a patient. He did not consider the fact that he was more like a patient than Chu Tianjiao.

Unexpectedly, Lord Wa really did not lie to him. Walking north along the Bagua formation formed by these bluestone paths, there really is a commercial street. It is not much different from the Chenghuang Temple small commodity wholesale market outside. They all sell miscellaneous things needed for daily life. There are also breakfast shops and late-night snack shops, as well as many teahouses, billiard halls and bars, but they are all very high-end. Standing at the door to greet guests are beautiful girls with thin waists, long legs and pointed chins. No matter whether the person walking in front of them is a sixty-year-old uncle or a man in a hurry in a full set of Armani, they can all show the sweetest smile.

Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment and asked, "Isn't he curious about how his wife and son have been doing these years?"

Although Su Xiaoyan married the entrepreneur named Lu Tianming with Chu Zihang after divorcing Chu Tianjiao, sometimes when they were drinking together, Lu Mingfei could still hear that Aunt Su was still thinking about the man who was only nice to her but had no ability.

Chu Zihang also hid his 15-year-old self deep in his soul, carrying anger and hatred, silently pursuing the god who raised the spear on the elevated road that year.

"A man like him should have a heart as strong as iron. I'm afraid even his marriage to Su Xiaoyan was just a wrong impulse, right?" Wazhu shook her head and said, "He is a super executive on the gray list of the Kassel Academy Executive Department. According to regulations, he cannot start a family before retiring."

Lu Mingfei fell silent.

If Chu Tianjiao didn't care at all, then what was Chu Zihang pursuing all these years? And who was the shadow hidden in the deepest part of Su Xiaoyan's heart?

The world should continue to function as usual without anyone. Could it be that the executive department will not be able to function without him, Chu Tianjiao?

"Doesn't he plan to go back to college?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"After seeing the news about the incident in Angers, he locked himself in his room and drank all night. The next day, he seemed to have let go and never mentioned returning to the United States again."

This means that Chu Tianjiao actually hopes to return to Kassel College. He has been alone in this city for so many years, and he has many shocking secrets. Perhaps some of them are very important information to the college, and that information must be handed over to Angers.

Lu Mingfei turned his head to look at the night outside the corridor window, which was lonely and long.

In fact, there is no day or night in the Nibelungen. When you look up, all you can see is a chaos that looks like night light.

Lord Wa led Lu Mingfei through the corridor, stopped in front of the tightly closed suite, and then pushed the door open and went in.

There wasn't much in the room. There were cans of beer piled in the corner. There was a small table on the tatami. A man in a white shirt was sitting at the table. He had his sleeves rolled up and the buttons on his shirt collar were all undone. The room was filled with the smell of cigarettes and alcohol. The lights were not on. After pushing the door open, what greeted me was the colorful light on the TV screen that was quite uncomfortable for the eyes. It was a western movie with a purely translated tone. Probably because of the translation mechanism, the background sound was also cut when the characters in the movie were talking.

The little girl showed a look of disgust on her face. She pulled Lu Mingfei's right hand and covered her mouth and nose with his sleeve. Then she stretched out a slender hand as white as a scallion and made a gesture to drive him away. The two locked windows were pushed open to the outside. The cold wind brought the faint fragrance of blooming plum blossoms and shone into this rotting, moldy and dead room like a flame.

Lu Mingfei put the fruit basket at the door and only took the insulated box containing the grilled chicken wings. He hesitated for a moment, then took the girl's wrist and sat down at the table opposite Chu Tianjiao.

The ashtray was already filled with cigarette butts, and the sealed trash can was covered with a thin layer of dark yellow alcohol. More cigarette butts were thrown in, and they swelled and stunk in the alcohol. The wet ashes climbed up the walls of the trash can like dirty dirt.

On the table were empty beer cans and a half-empty bottle of vodka, and the side dishes were the strange-tasting broad beans that the guard had requested.

Chu Tianjiao was half lying on the tatami, supporting himself with one elbow so that he could raise his head to watch what was on TV, while his other hand was rolling a cigar, until the skin on his fingertips was peeling.

The man's appearance at this moment could not be described as sloppy, but it was indeed weathered. The beard on his face had probably never been trimmed since he escaped from Odin's control, and now covered both sides of his cheeks. His skin was slightly pale, and looked slightly sickly, like a limestone sculpture.

Looking at his profile, he is indeed 70% similar to Chu Zihang.

He didn't seem to care about the arrival of Lu Mingfei and Wazhu. He just held the cigar in his mouth, frowning fiercely. The light of the cigarette butt flickered in the darkness.

"Hello Uncle Chu, I'm Lu Mingfei." Lu Mingfei opened the white thermal box and placed the double spicy grilled chicken wings that had been heated in the microwave on the small table. This was considered a greeting.

Chu Tianjiao sat up, raised his eyelids and looked carefully at Lu Mingfei's face with his bloodshot eyes.

"I don't have any memory of when I was controlled by Odin. It's like I traveled from 2005 to today in the blink of an eye." The man's voice was hoarse. He squinted his eyes and exhaled a puff of smoke. "I remember you. When I went to pick up Chu Zihang that day, I saw that you didn't even open an umbrella. You ran into the rain with your clothes held up."

Lu Mingfei was stunned, remembering that he was indeed that poor kid who had no one to pick him up when it rained and no change to take a taxi home.

"Chu Zihang asked me to take you with me, but you were gone when the car drove out." Chu Tianjiao said.

Lu Mingfei pondered the questions in his mind, but he couldn't open his mouth. After a moment, Chu Tianjiao sighed, "I've read the logs on the Night Watcher Forum and the Hunter website. You've done a lot of big things over the years. Now you're wanted by the academy. It's said that you're hanging out with the Dragon King... To be honest, I watched you grow up. Although you're bad sometimes, you don't have any malicious intentions. The wanted order issued by the school board says that you colluded with the Dragon King to seriously injure Ange, and that you transported nuclear waste from Moscow to sell to al-Qaeda for terrorist attacks and raped young girls in Shinjuku, Tokyo. I don't believe these things."

Lu Mingfei remained silent, his eyes twitching slightly.

After a moment, he said, "Are the people in the executive department crazy? Raping a young girl is not something I would do."

Lord Wa nodded in agreement.

"Raping a royal sister is more like it." Lu Mingfei said. Chu Tianjiao was silent for a moment, as if trying to convince himself to accept the cunning and shamelessness of the guy in front of him.

"I know you and my son have a good relationship. You two should be considered comrades-in-arms fighting side by side in the academy." Chu Tianjiao said after a few seconds, "I was able to break free from Odin's control thanks to you."

He stretched out his hand, and Lu Mingfei also stretched out his hand. The two men shook hands above the small table, and then separated.

"It's a pity that he didn't leave the authority extracted from the dragon bone cross on the mask. Only some traces of the alchemical matrix remain on it." Lu Mingfei felt a little regretful.

"There's nothing to regret. Do you think the power inherited from the Black King Nidhogg is so easy to take away?" Chu Tianjiao shook his head. "Destroying the mask means destroying the balance between the Dragon Bone Cross and the outside world. Even with Odin's methods, it may take a long time to restore this balance."

"Then uncle, can you still show that kind of power? The power of a king." Lu Mingfei asked.

“No.” Chu Tianjiao looked down at his hands and frowned, “I’ve tried. After losing the mask, I’m just an ordinary half-blood.”

“So the super executives who can rank among the top three in the executive department are just ordinary half-bloods?” Lord Wa folded her arms and looked at Chu Tianjiao coldly.

Chu Tianjiao smiled and said, "To be exact, he ranks second. The first one is Hilbert Jean Angers."

"I actually have something I want to ask uncle." Lu Mingfei said, "About the reason why you settled in this city, and the task the principal gave you regarding me."

Chu Tianjiao was stunned for a moment and smoked fiercely, but he did not refuse.

"There is one more thing. I met Aunt Su after I came back this time." Lu Mingfei paused and opened a can of beer for himself. "I think she still misses you very much."

"Has she been doing well these years?" the smoking man whispered. The TV was still playing some old western movies, but the room seemed to be suddenly flooded with sadness.

"It's OK. You know, Senior Brother is actually a gossip. He can take good care of his mother."

"Senior brother?"

"It's Chu Zihang. I call him Senior Brother." Lu Mingfei said, "After divorcing you, she married the entrepreneur named Lu Tianming. Uncle, you should remember him. They haven't had any children in these years. Uncle Lu even planned to leave his property to Senior Brother."

"Of course they won't have children..." Chu Tianjiao said lightly. Lu Mingfei's pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly had some deeper doubts about Su Xiaoyan's marriage to Lu Tianming.

"But there are some things I do need to tell you." Chu Tianjiao nodded and straightened his collar. "I have to go to Tokyo in a while. I need to see Angers' current situation with my own eyes before I can decide what to do next."

"Aren't you worried about falling into Odin's hands again?" Lord Wa yawned.

"The mask used to control me has been destroyed. Hidden within it is the authority of the King of Sky and Wind. If Odin wants to continue to control me and wants this puppet to unleash the power of the true King of Wind, he must restore that balance."

Chu Tianjiao said, he took a sip of vodka, picked up a grilled chicken wing, took a sip of wine and ate a piece of chicken wing, and continued to speak after a while.
"This story started a long time ago... I went to high school in the north. My wife and I actually went to the same school."

At that time, Su Xiaoyan was probably the most famous girl in the school, because she was the only girl in the school who rode a motorcycle to and from school. At that time, she was in the third grade of junior high school, while Chu Tianjiao was in the second grade of high school and had not yet awakened his bloodline and words.

Maybe because Su Xiaoyan's father is a policeman, she is not afraid of being caught on the road. Su Xiaoyan is still a little girl and rides a bike very fast. She is the first one to rush out of the teaching building after class every afternoon. Chu Tianjiao can hear the sound of motorcycles rushing through the street without leaving the classroom. Lu Mingfei thought to himself that he could not believe that Aunt Su, such a quiet woman, was actually a little gangster when she was young.

Chu Tianjiao also said that he later learned that Su Xiaoyan was the first one to come home after school every day to cook. During that period, her grandmother's house in the countryside was flooded, so she returned to the city to live. She also brought a bunch of country eggs, a big leg of cured meat, and two buckets of walnut oil. Su Xiaoyan said that walnut oil is very fragrant when cooking.

Everyone who knows Su Xiaoyan thinks she is very cool. She even has more male friends than female friends.

At that time, there was a girl named Qiao Weini in Chu Tianjiao's class.

Lu Mingfei's heart moved slightly, and he looked up at Chu Tianjiao's eyes, only to see a misty gray area and nothing else, like an autumn lake.

Chu Tianjiao didn't look into Lu Mingfei's eyes, but just talked to himself, saying that Qiao Weini was the most popular girl in the school at that time, beautiful and cool. One day after class, Chu Tianjiao ran directly to the parking shed, and then rode his bicycle to a street where there were restaurants outside the school.

Chu Tianjiao said that so many years have passed, but I can still remember that I was considering whether to eat beef soup with crispy sesame cakes or knife-cut noodles with pickled garlic, and then I fell to the ground with a bang. I don’t know how the Urban Renewal Authority planned it, and they had to install some short pillars on the sidewalk.

Chu Tianjiao's left big toe was fractured. He even stood up and chopped his foot a few times. Then he walked for a while. When he was about ten steps away from the beef soup, he realized that it was in terrible pain.

Qiao Weini happened to pass by and saw it, so she asked her classmates to help carry him to the hospital. After walking for a while, they suddenly heard the sound of a motorcycle behind them. They turned around and saw that the little girl from the lower grade had stopped in front of them.

Lu Mingfei guessed it, it was indeed Su Xiaoyan.

Chu Tianjiao said that it was not just Su Xiaoyan, there was also a foreigner who said his name was Hilbert Jean Ange. He was sitting in the back seat of Su Xiaoyan's car, grinning like an old pervert.

The old pervert said Chu Tianjiao, you are very talented, are you willing to study abroad with me? Chu Tianjiao thought about it and said, "Then you have to tell my mother, I will listen to my mother." (End of this chapter)
