Chapter 2115 Ubiquitous

We arrived in a small town.

Lu Chengwen had his phone confiscated and everything else taken away.

Feng Xianzi and he exchanged some commoner clothes.

Feng Xianzi was dressed in casual clothes, sneakers, a baseball cap, and a mask; Lu Chengwen was dressed in a t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, and also wore a mask.

Lu Chengwen said, "Beautiful lady, these clothes are so cheap, they're making my skin irritated. How about this, I'll cover all our expenses, you give me back my phone, and I'll buy you designer brands..."

"Shut up!"

"Hey, can you stop telling me to shut up? We're both trying to escape right now, and my suggestions are all for your own good. Besides, I'm starving..."

Feng Xianzi raised her hand to hit him, but Lu Chengwen quickly stepped back: "I won't say anything! This outfit is nice, it'll be convenient for delivering takeout."

Feng Xianzi took Lu Chengwen to a used car market and bought a beat-up Santana that had been used countless times.

A village in the suburbs.

The car drove into the home of an ordinary farmer in the village.

Feng Xianzi led Lu Chengwen inside.

At the entrance, a young man was tidying up some flowers.

Lu Chengwen looked around.

This ordinary courtyard has a bluestone-paved floor that has been sprinkled with water and is very clean. There are many flowers and plants around it, which shows that the owner is very patient and has a great appreciation for life.

Looking at the young man again, he looked to be under thirty, but he seemed to have an eye problem.

"You came."

His voice is also very pleasant and gentle.

"Mm." Feng Xianzi agreed, walked directly to the water vat, scooped up half a ladle of water, and drank it all.

"You are hurt."

"It's out of the way."

Feng Xianzi sprinkled the remaining water in the yard: "It's not safe here anymore, you have to move."

The man smiled slightly: "Is this person Lu Chengwen?"

"Yes."

Feng Xianzi said, "She talks too much and is annoying."

The man smiled and said, "Welcome, Mr. Lu. My humble little courtyard has nothing here; I'm sorry to have troubled you."

“Oh, you’re welcome,” Lu Chengwen said. “I quite like the countryside. And you are…”

Feng Xianzi interrupted, "Don't ask so many questions."

Lu Chengwen immediately said, "I won't ask anymore."

The man smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. She's not a bad person, and she won't hand you over to Skynet. Mr. Lu, you can rest assured."

"Of course I'm relieved!"

In fact, Lu Chengwen was not at all at ease. Who knew which side this woman was on or what she might do to him?

However, Lu Chengwen appeared very nonchalant: "Aside from her rather eccentric temper, she has an excellent character. I can feel her inherent kindness, gentleness, and sense of justice!"

"Shut up!" Feng Xianzi snapped.

The man said, "Take the medicine first and go heal your wounds."

Feng Xianzi stormed into the inner room.

Lu Chengwen walked up to the man and waved his hand in front of him.

He smiled gently: "I can't see it."

Lu Chengwen pouted and nodded, "I suppose so!"

"you are……"

At this moment, Feng Xianzi pushed open the door: "I told you to stop asking around. Get in here!"

The three of them ate a simple meal.

The man fanned himself with a fan, while Feng Xianzi closed her eyes to heal her wounds.

Lu Chengwen had no choice but to wait.

After a long while, the man said, "That's enough."

Feng Xianzi let out a breath, and the man handed her a bowl of medicine. Feng Xianzi drank it and coughed a few times.

The man said, "Is that the Rat Head Palm Technique? What a domineering skill."

Feng Xianzi put down the medicine bowl: "How is the situation now?"

The man said, "Skynet is after you. They don't seem to have any intention of handing over your brother, or at least they won't admit defeat so quickly."

"The four major families are also after you."

Lu Chengwen said, "We're arresting her."

"No, the main target is you."

"Um!?"

Lu Chengwen was stunned for a moment.

The man continued, "They've received orders from the Elders' Council to take your life."

Lu Chengwen laughed: "Friend, your village is quite well-informed, isn't it?"

The man said calmly, "I know you think that because you have business dealings worth tens of billions with them, they won't touch you, and might even have to protect you. But that's not actually the case."

“Once the Elders’ Council issues an order, they must carry it out. However… they would prefer to stage an accidental death. They want Xianzi to kill you, and then they will kill Xianzi. They have realized your immense strategic value to Skynet, and since you are a newcomer under the wing of the Five Elders, they can neither completely control you nor be confident in protecting you completely. The best option is… to kill you.”

Lu Chengwen lowered his brows: "I'm related to the Jiang family."

“Jiang Xiaohu and Jiang Xiaohou won’t know about these things, but I can guarantee that Jiang Shang and his sons will. Oh, that greedy fourth son of Jiang’s probably won’t be told. Jiang Shang knows very well that he’s a young master who will cause trouble.”

Lu Chengwen looked at Feng Xianzi: "How does he know everything!?"

Feng Xianzi said, "Not everyone is like you, just loafing around and waiting to die."

The man continued, "The four major families will outwardly claim they've found you and are protecting you, but only the true higher-ups know that the core order is to eliminate you. Of course, for their own interests, they will expedite their cooperation with your Great Sage Group. Once the cooperation is complete and things are running smoothly, whether you live or die will no longer matter."

Lu Chengwen stared at the man: "Where did you get your information? Why should I believe you?"

"I won't tell you my source, nor do I expect you to believe me."

The man slowly brewed the tea; although he couldn't see it, his technique and water level were precise.

Lu Chengwen slapped his thigh: "So that means the whole world is looking for me and wants to kill me? Just because Skynet thinks I'm important? That's outrageous!"

"So what?" the man said casually. "You're not the first. In the past, anyone who threatened the management position of the four major families, as long as they were beneficial to the enemy, would be eliminated in advance. They would rather you disappear than allow you to play any role in Skynet that they were unsure of. Such decisions are commonplace for them. It's just that this time, the unlucky one is you."

Lu Chengwen asked, "Is Skynet really that scary?"

The man handed Lu Chengwen a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Yes. And I'm sure that the Elder Council and the four major families have already realized that the terrifying extent of Skynet may be revolutionary. If we can't suppress Skynet's expansion momentum within the next ten years, the entire landscape of the martial arts world will be overturned."

Lu Chengwen looked at Feng Xianzi: "Aren't you a high-ranking member of Skynet? What do you know?"

Feng Xianzi looked coldly at Lu Chengwen: "I know you are very valuable, and you can be exchanged for my brother."

Lu Chengwen was furious: "Don't think I'll believe your nonsense! When I, Lu Chengwen, was lying, you were still playing in the mud!"

The man spoke slowly and calmly:

"Skynet has completed its infiltration. They have people in the four major families, the Elder Council, Tianwu, the idle and bored, and almost every well-known sect in the martial arts world..."

"They are like a virus, they have invaded this martial arts world, and have become ubiquitous."

"Do you think they would risk their lives for you? The four major families are on edge right now. The person in charge of hunting your bull head last time was a big shot from the Jiang family. You should know that, right?"

"Besides these, there are the Bai family, the Mo family, the Xia family..."

"enough!"

Lu Chengwen stood up abruptly, clenching his fists, feeling his hair stand on end, his back soaked with sweat.
