Ch 127 – Powerful Influence

With much difficulty, Lei Yu finally calmed down and entered a calm state. He then started circulating his internal energy throughout his meridians.

Lei Yu found a very strange phenomenon; whenever his internal energy circulated to his heart vessels, he felt an inexplicably warm feeling vibrating in his chest area. The feeling was really comfortable but Lei Yu couldn’t figure out what was the cause of it.

The odd thing was that his heart vessels were much stronger than his other meridians. Whether it be its tenacity or its absorption capability, it was far more superior to other places.

“Something not right.” Lei Yu was in deep thought. Cultivators stressed that their energy protected the heart since the heart was like their spring of life. Regardless of any person’s heart, it was an extremely fragile organ that couldn’t protect itself, that’s why it relied on a person’s internal energy to protect it. So why had Lei Yu’s heart vessels become tougher than any of the meridians in his body?

This phenomenon caused Lei Yu to have many questions without answers. But this wasn’t anything bad after all, with such a tough and strong heart vessel would definitely help Lei Yu in the long run. He then calmed himself down again and began to cultivate according to the methods imprinted into his mind.

His internal energy went through two cycles before Lei Yu spit out some turbid air. Compared to before with the Spiritual Bead of Longevity’s help of expelling impurities, relying on himself wasn’t any fun at all. But there’s no other way, he could only acknowledge his fate. Lei Yu also understood that his so called genius destiny had come to an end. Without the help of the Spiritual Bead of Longevity, cultivating now will have many added cumbersome processes.

But of course Lei Yu was determined not to give up. Although he had reached the Sixth Order Warrior rank, it was still in the early stages. Comparing this to Shangguan Xi Hong and Celestial Court’s two Sixth Grade Celestials, he was still too far behind. Moreover, Lei Yu had to find the killer who murdered his grandfather so this made him continue to put more effort into cultivating. Even if the process was slow, he couldn’t slack off one bit.

Changing into a set of clean clothes, Lei Yu opened the door and happened to leave the room the same time as Lafayette. They both smiled at each other and Lafayette gracefully walked next to Lei Yu. Gently holding on his right arm, she then said: “Let’s go downstairs to eat breakfast.”

Lei Yu’s smile became somewhat awkward. Perhaps for Lafayette, her actions didn’t mean much but for Lei Yu, he wasn’t too used to things like this. “Ah, I’m grateful to Miss Lafayette for accompanying me, but I need to look for my fiance since there’s some things I need to tell her; if you don’t mind going down to breakfast first.”

“That’s fine then, I’ll see you later.”

“See you in a bit.” Lei Yu sighed in relief and walked towards Ai Er’s room. As he was about to knock on the door, with his amazing hearing ability, he heard Ai Er’s voice from the inside.

“Where is the investigative team now? Brother, what should we do then? Brother Yu is still in danger so he can’t go out. Okay, right, the people in the investigative team may not be their opponents. These past two days, I heard the strength of this group is really strong, even brother Yu is kind of worried. Also, his friend was captured by these people. Okay, I understand. I will call you if anything new comes up.”

Lei Yu shook his head; this investigative team is really a pain in the ass making a big deal out of nothing. Coming to the U.S. to investigate this, why don’t they think about comparing the medical costs to the travelling expenses; which one was more expensive?

Then again, there’s no other way. He is after all the son of Eagle Group’s commander.

Sometimes avoiding isn’t the way. Lei Yu had been wondering about one thing – what if he appeared out of his own initiative? No matter how strong Dr. Tony’s influence was, would he actually send out a dozen or so Ultimate Mutants out to a public area? There are probably not that many mutants in the U.S. under his control, but if there were, wouldn’t he be able to disrupt the world’s order? One or two of them could already cause a lot of chaos.

Lei Yu currently had the strength of a Sixth Order Warrior and was considered evenly matched with the Ultimate Mutants. Even if an Ultimate Mutant joined forces with Hasegawa, an Ultimate Ninja, Lei Yu still has the ability to escape. He had absolute trust in his own speed. Not to mention that green energy had disappeared, so the situation where he goes berserk and out of control should no longer occur.

Lei Yu made up his mind and decided to show up amongst a large public crowd and see what they wanted. But the only problem that’s giving him a headache was what to do with Ai Er?

“Brother Yu, you haven’t gone down yet?”

“Ah! Oh, I was just about to meet with you and go down to breakfast together.”

Ai Er clasped her hands in front of her chest and narrowed her eyes, revealing a face of enjoyment. “This place is really nice, even my house isn’t even as good as this. It’s really great here.”

Lei Yu suddenly had a thought. “Ai Er, you really like this place that much?”

“Of course I do. Mr. Hawes and his family treats us so well, and Lafayette and I are really compatible with each other. Last night we chatted until really late before we went to sleep!”

“That’s good then, really good.” Lei Yu nodded his head. With one hand holding onto Ai Er’s hand, they both went downstairs.

Breakfast was so lavish that made people hard to comprehend; it was like they were treated as royalty! Lei Yu was actually kind of overwhelmed by this.

After the meal, Lei Yu pulled Ai Er aside and told her his thoughts. Ai Er’s eyes were full of reluctance and unwillingness to let Lei Yu go out by himself; she was going to be too worried. But Ai Er was a reasonable girl and knew she would be a hindrance if she came along. If something was to happen, Lei Yu would be distracted by having to protect her so she could only obediently nod in acceptance.

“Mr. Hawes, old madam, I… I have some things to take care of which requires me to leave for two days. I don’t know if it’s possible if my fiance can stay with your family for the next two days?” Lei Yu politely asked with a smile.

“Lei Yu, there’s no need to be so polite. Just go ahead and take care of whatever you need to do. Mother and I will help you in anyway so don’t worry. Oh yeah, Miss Ai Er and Lafayette are quite compatible with each other so with these two like sisters together, you should be rest assured.” Mr. Hawes obviously knew Lei Yu had things to take care of. It appears the old woman had already told him about Lei Yu’s situation.

“I’m really grateful for this.”
