Chapter 656: 656
In the hotel room, Lou Cheng stood beside the windows . Looking towards the lights of homes that looked just like the milky way, he thought back quietly about the matter of crabs and Yan Zheke .
Many of the details had disappeared in the stream of time . All that was left were some blurry images . However, the practical thing had integrated into his instincts and became subconscious . He might not feel anything most of the times but when a familiar scene struck, everything would suddenly become so clear as though they had just happened . Feeling the vivid and eternal trails, Lou Cheng knew that these were what had been supporting him .
He looked on quietly for some time while counting down silently towards the end of Yan Zheke's lesson . He took out his phone and started typing but silently deleted it soon after .
After three consecutive times, he forced a smile and said, "There's something that I wonder if I should tell you . If I say it, I'm afraid you will be upset and feel pressured . If I don't say it, I'm afraid you will find me getting colder and not passionate enough . "
Yan Zheke happened to be keeping her books to move into a new classroom . When she saw this sudden message, she replied, "[Lost expression] What's the matter? Just say it . My mental quality is really good . "
What has happened to Cheng?
A faint smile surfaced on Lou Cheng as he typed out word by word, "Regarding the fact that I really miss you . "
Yan Zheke was instantly shocked and dumbfounded . Her lips formed a smiling arc and she felt a little strange and joy, "Why did you say it so suddenly?"
"I was having a gathering with "Hipster" and the group . "Priest" brought a girl along and she was a food blogger . She was very good at de-shelling the crab and did one for everyone . My answer then was 'Thank you, you are so good at it' . I remembered that it was you who taught me about this compliment . " Lou Cheng described what happened previously in a summarized way . He didn't explain why did he suddenly feel so and only mentioned that he remembered such an incident .
" . . . You've done pretty well . " Yan Zheke felt her heart had gone soft suddenly . All her emotions had settled and the four words "I really miss you" were no longer empty . They had practical and deep support .
Before Lou Cheng could reply, she added, "I saw a black man junior wearing Feather Raiment along the corridor yesterday… This has become fashionable at school…"
Therefore, I really miss you too!
"Why didn't you tell me beforehand…" Lou Cheng understood the hidden meaning behind Yan Zheke's words .
Yan Zheke replied, "[Looking at the sky proudly expression] Aren't I'm of afraid someone being so rash that he would book an air ticket here directly?"
"I would have definitely done that in the past… As for now, I can only enter the country once every six months . [Covering face while crying expression]"
Moreover, he could not stay for more than ten days . This was the restriction placed on physical invulnerability experts .
"That's true… [Sitting in a daze expression]" . Suddenly, a strong impulse welled up in Yan Zheke . She took out her notebook and curriculum to check for her schedule . She wanted to return to China over the weekend for a holiday and to give someone a surprise .
On some matters, she had always had extremely strong courage and motivation .
After flipping through, her heart sank . Because this was her first year learning under her mentor, her curriculum was fully packed and she had a large amount of research and experiments to complete over the weekend . This was also a way for her to complete her studies in a shorter period of time .
Sigh… She stood up and turned into the public washroom just a stone throw away . Standing in front of the basin, she took off her glasses and washed her face with the cold water .
Lifting her head, she saw a beautiful face from the reflection of the mirror . Yan Zheke extended her hands suddenly and pressed on the edge of her eyes . Sticking her tongue out, she made a wry face . This was something she loved to do the most when she was young .
"It's all your fault!" She stared at the "opposite face" and mumbled .
. . .
After several days, the main part of the "Master" competition finally ended . "Warrior Sage", Qian Donglou, obtained the qualification to challenge the "Dragon King" . The two of them would engage in a peak matchup once again around the new year period .

After flying back to Sky Capital Garden in Huacheng, Lou Cheng did not rest the day he touched down . After a short break, he asked Auman to inform the driver to pick him up from his mansion .
It was two o'clock in the afternoon and late at night in Connecticut . It would be a waste if he did not use this time to train .
Moreover, after going through the "Master" competition, he had many questions to conclude and to explore!
At two fifty-five in the afternoon, a spacious and luxurious nanny car stopped at the gate of the mansion along Xiapei Lake . Lou Cheng sat at the back of the car and saw Auman, who had not yet put down her luggage . He smiled faintly and said, "You can go back first and have a good rest . There's nothing else for today . I'm just going to train for an additional two to three hours . Just inform Old Zhao to wait for me . "
Old Zhao was his driver, Zhao Zhenhua .
Auman smiled sweetly but shook her head and said, "I can rest while I'm at the club too . Moreover, I don't have to cook my own meals or order delivery . "
"Alright then . " Lou Cheng didn't insist and leaned back . He closed his eyes slightly as he rested .
Seeing this, Auman pulled out a book from her sling bag carefully and started reading it . From time to time, she would revert to her phone to make a note .
After spending some time with personal assistants of other physical invulnerability experts, she had learned the importance of self-learning to increase her value and not waste precious time .
This was also because of something she held close to her . Although no one would speak badly of her in front of her, there would always be people pointing and commenting behind her back, saying that she had managed to become a personal assistant only because she had sacrificed her body . As to whom she was rumoured to have sacrificed her body to, no one would dare to say it outrightly . Nonetheless, it was clear to everyone .
Because of this, her joyous moments in life had decreased . She didn't even share this matter with her parents and her best friends . All she told them was that she was promoted and had a pay rise while performing outstandingly in an important role in the club .
I want to become an outstanding assistant… Auman thought as she clenched her fist secretly . In the steady cruising car, she was either reading a book or putting on her earphones to watch related videos .
Due to an accident on the roads, half of all the lanes were jammed . Lou Cheng took half an hour to finally reach the club . After which, he went to the private training ground .

Other than the public areas, there were 10 isolated spaces with metal doors . This was to allow each and every physical invulnerability expert to be able to use one individually and not be affected by others .
When he pushed open the main door to the training ground, Lou Cheng saw a towering figure standing there . He wore a navy blue martial art suit . His face was filled with perspiration and looked extremely tired under the scorching hot afternoon sun . Nonetheless, he had the majestic quality .
This was the Dragon King, Chen Qitao!
Even though the other physical invulnerability experts of the club weren't here, he had not relaxed his demands of himself .
Chen Qitao seemed to have sensed Lou Cheng approaching beforehand and wasn't surprised at all . All he did was nodding his head slightly as a form of greeting .
He opened up his strides and headed towards the corridor leading to the "Volcano Experiment Lab" . As he walked passed Lou Cheng, he paused for a few seconds before speaking in a sombre tone, "Restart your practice on "Nine Rotations of Five Flames" over this period of time . "
"Huh?" Lou Cheng was a little lost from what he heard .
As the physical invulnerability move, "Nine Rotations of Five Flames . Descend Of The Sun", was compatible with his "Cosmic style", his control over it was fine and easy . Although he couldn't say that he was comparable to the Dragon King, he was confident that he was better than "Optimus Prime", Long Zhen, and other traditional "Fire" Sect experts . This was a move that he was confident and proud of .
"Why do I have to restart my practice?"
Chen Qitao moved his hands behind him and repeated with a stern and low voice, "You've relied on the techniques of Cultivation to skip the complicated control techniques required in "Nine Rotations of Five Flames" . These things wouldn't help you to use "Nine Rotations of Nine Flames" better but can help you improve your control over different types of fire . This is the most basic of the basics . Some shortcuts could be taken but there are things that you shouldn't skip . "
After he completed his sentence, the Dragon King opened up his strides again and passed by Lou Cheng . Every step of his had a similar form and distance covered as though they were copied and pasted .
Lou Cheng was shocked for a moment but understood quickly . He knew that he had almost neglected the most important foundation .

He turned around in a hurry, clasped his left hand over his right fist as a form of respect and said, "Thank you senior for your guidance . "
Chen Qitao didn't turn around, didn't stop and didn't look back as though he hadn't said anything .
After seeing the Dragon King disappearing at the corners of the corridor, Lou Cheng also left the training ground and instead headed for the training room for physical invulnerability experts . Once he was there, he seriously restarted his practice on the "Nine Rotations of Five Flames . Descend Of The Sun" .
After an afternoon of diligent training, Lou Cheng wiped away the perspiration from his forehead with a tower . After changing into a set of refreshing clothes, he headed to the canteen for lunch . His schedule was similar to the times when he was in Huacheng .
At seven o'clock at night, he returned to his mansion and sent off Auman and the driver, Zhao Zhenhua . Lou Cheng chatted with Cai Zongming, Jiang Fei and others on QQ casually until his little fairy girl had completed her morning training .
"Cheng, I won a luxurious full-play tour to Huacheng before I sleep yesterday!" Yan Zheke said excitedly .
"So? [Lost expression]" Lou Cheng asked .
Ke can only come over during the winter break . I can be her guide at that time .
"You really are… [Cover face in exasperation expression]" replied Yan Zheke . "You have been in Huacheng for several months now . Don't you ever think of bringing them over to Huacheng for a tour? They wouldn't have to stay in the hotel at night and can stay directly at your home . Their transport can be settled by asking Auman to inform the driver . It will not be a hassle for you . All you have to do is to spend some quality time with them when you return home each day!"
" . . . " Lou Cheng was dumbfounded for a while before commenting, "Who's the real child of my parents?"
I have not thought about this or anything similar to this at all . All I have thought of is to spend some days at home in December when I return .
A man was indeed not as meticulous as a woman in this aspect . . .
"Pfft . It's good that you can recognise it . You can ask aunt and uncle if they are free between November 27 to December 7 . Yeah . The tour is only for seven days . Keeping the first two days free, uncle and aunt can get to know about our house and can also prepare some home-cooked food for you . [Hands on the waist and laughing expression]"
Lou Cheng smiled unconsciously when he saw the message before adding, "[Evil smile expression] Call them 'Mom and Dad'!"
