Chapter 9, The Landlady

Saying that Lu Feng had shown off the nearly worn-down soles of his shoes to prove his point, he did not wish to be ostentatious. Therefore, regarding his skills in lightness martial arts, he preferred to keep this secret to himself unless it was absolutely necessary.

Lu Feng said impatiently

The old man has left, and Wang Yuming's expression and voice returned to their original coldness, keeping others at a distance, though her figure remained as alluring as ever

Pleasant scent

What can I do

As Lu Feng passed by the medical clinic, he glanced inside and discovered that there was only a child guarding the entrance, while the others were no longer present. It was easy to deduce that the owner had been taken to the hospital. However, what he did not know was that both the owner and Physician Xu had been sent to the hospital by the police, as their fight had escalated to such an extent that it alarmed the neighbors. The neighbors, unable to separate the two, had no choice but to call the police, who also expended considerable effort to separate them.

After speaking, he turned to his granddaughter Wang Yuming and said, "You drive Xiao Feng back. I will walk back this stretch of road. I haven't walked this way in a long time, and I find it quite nostalgic."

No need, I can walk by myself. If I get tired, I will call him. You should hurry and take Xiao Feng away; he may have urgent matters at noon.

In fact, Lu Feng deeply wished that he were an experienced hand in the realm of romance, as such a wonderful opportunity had been wasted in vain, what a pity!

So what if it doesn't belong to me? Anyway, I have paid the rent

When the waiter brought the grilled lamb skewers, charcoal, and beer, Lu Feng was already drooling. He hurriedly placed the half-cooked lamb on the grill, sprinkled it with cumin and salt, and eagerly began to cook. Half an hour later, Lu Feng, satisfied and full, settled the bill and left the barbecue shop, heading towards the Cultural Square of Jiyang City. This was a place he often visited with * Tu * Shu, a good spot to unwind, but every time he returned, his mood would be quite poor.

For the first nineteen years, he was a good child, studying and preparing for university. However, during his time at university, he dropped out due to a certain incident. Now, he has been wandering outside for a year.

Lu Feng glanced at the old man's back with gratitude; he was simply too exhausted, and it was no longer possible for him to use lightness skills to return. At this moment, having a car to ride in was undoubtedly the happiest thing in the world for him

Several little brats, just you wait. After this quarter, you will get out. I will no longer rent to you

These are the two skills he currently believes he can barely present. Today, he must set a goal for himself and cannot continue to drift aimlessly.

After having a simple lunch, Lu Feng immediately returned to his residence to meditate and cultivate, continuing until the landlady came to collect the rent

Lu Feng looked at the landlady in front of him with confusion. Could it be that she had changed her ways and was now concerned about her tenants?

Please take me back to the original medical clinic

Lu Feng could not help but sniff a few more times

After the landlady realized what had happened, a surge of anger rose within her, and she cursed inwardly:

Lu Feng changed his clothes after entering the house, then locked the door and left. Living on instant noodles at home for a long time is not a solution; today he plans to go to the snack street to improve his quality of life

How did he manage to get the money back

If it does not belong to you, please return it promptly; you must not steal or rob! That is a crime

As astute as the old man was, he could not fail to notice Lu Feng's reluctance, so he chuckled and said, "It's alright, I'm busy today; I will invite you again when I have time."

He believes that now he can rescue those two children from hetushucomcom without any risk to their lives, and even chasing after Wang Yumeng's car will not leave him exhausted like a dead dog

Ah!

The landlady firmly stated

The landlady stared in shock at the money in her hands

Wang Yumeng glanced at the elderly man with concern, then made a call to Uncle Fu, and said to Lu Feng: "Get in the car."

He believes that only after achieving success will he have the face to meet his parents

Then he paused to think and wrote another acupuncture treatment

The curator's wrist may or may not recover, and it has nothing to do with Lu Feng anymore; it is merely the consequence of retribution for wrongful actions.

Lu Fengqiang suppressed the anger within him. Although his breakthrough was interrupted, he still gained a glimmer of insight. He believed that as long as he made greater use of his internal energy, he could better improve the quality and control of his internal energy, and even achieve a rapid breakthrough

Lu Feng glanced at the distant, shadowy villa district. He knew that the wealthy of Jiyang City were concentrated in this area, and it was not a place where just anyone could reside; only those with money or power were permitted to live here

He wondered and asked, "If I go back, can I delay paying the rent for a short period?"

Wang Yumeng also did not understand why she suddenly asked the previous question. Perhaps she thought that Lu Feng's strength was suitable for climbing, but his body appeared too frail, and his coordination seemed poor. Therefore, she did not feel anything particular about Lu Feng's refusal.

Still try to see if there are other households that cannot afford the rent. Those who cannot afford it, along with their families, should be asked to leave immediately

Wang Yumeng inquired

By the time we separated, the ground was already a scene of blood and flesh

Lu Feng said

Looking at the money in his hand, Lu M. Hetushu.com couldn't help but reveal a faint bitter smile at the corner of his mouth

Soon, the two arrived outside the medical clinic. After Lu Feng thanked him and said goodbye, he was about to leave when Wang Yumei suddenly rolled down the window and looked at him, asking abruptly:

Looking at Lu Feng's honest and awkward expression, the old man chuckled and patted Lu Feng on the shoulder, saying: "I haven't seen a young person like you in a long time, very good. But you still haven't told me how you got ahead of us. Are you trying to make this old man anxious?"

Lu Feng was taken aback upon hearing this, and then shook his head, saying: "Not interested"

The landlady asked somewhat unwillingly

This time, her visit under the pretext of collecting rent was actually to drive Lu Feng away. She has already found a new tenant and agreed that they could move in today. She has already signed the contract with the new tenant. Now that Lu Feng has money, what should she do about that contract?

Moreover, if Lu Feng cannot be driven away, the next tenant will have no way to move in

He cannot continue in such a disheveled state; otherwise, he will never have the face to meet his parents in this lifetime

More eager for success than anyone else

Then it's settled, you should go back where you came from, or perhaps to the next place, as I am going to take a shower

Thinking of the contract I signed for a rent of 2,000 per month, the landlady feels a pang of heartache, wondering why this contract with this kid isn't expiring this month

Is this money yours

Are you interested in parkour

The elderly man waved goodbye to Wang Yuming and Lu Feng as he walked away into the distance, his silhouette exuding an indescribable sense of contentment

Wang Yumeng nodded and turned the car around to head back.

Watching the elderly and children in the cultural square, Lu Feng thought about his own future, as well as his parents and home on hetushu.com

Being invited by the wealthy is something that many people yearn for but cannot attain. However, he truly does not wish to go, as he currently has no connection with the wealthy. For the time being, he prefers not to engage with them until he reaches a level where he can stand on equal footing with them

I arrived by taxi, but I stopped over there and ran diagonally to intercept you.

Wang Yumeng nodded, then rolled up the window and drove away.

Although Lu Feng said this on the surface, he was actually thinking something else in his heart

The landlady kindly offered her comforting words

After a moment of deep thought, Lu Feng picked up a stone nearby and wrote two characters on the ground: lightness skill

If it were any other time, she might have exploded if someone rejected her; she does not know why she is so calm today, perhaps it is simply because she feels it does not matter.

It is not far from here

Where to

After Wang Yumeng left, Lu Feng took a deep breath; this was the life he desired, free and joyful

Lu Feng finished speaking and directly closed the door, leaving the landlord aunt in a daze

Would you like Uncle Fu to drive you here

Lu Feng sat on a step, watching the comings and goings of people, and asked himself this question, a question he had posed to himself countless times over the past year

As soon as Lu Feng got into the car, he was greeted by a pleasant fragrance, one that belonged to a woman

After glancing at the clock and seeing that it was already 5:00, Lu Feng got out of bed, washed his face, and then opened the door to pay the rent for the next quarter, which totaled 3,600. He now had 1,400 left on him

Upon hearing this, Wang Yumeng's eyes immediately revealed a look of doubt, yet she did not voice her questions

I apologize, but I have matters to attend to at noon, so...

What he desires is success, but what kind of days is he living now

The old man, upon hearing this, did not respond to Lu Feng's words, but instead smiled and said: "Thank you very much, this is indeed the key to the door. My home is not far from here; may I invite you to my house for lunch as a way to express my gratitude for saving my life?"

Throughout the journey, Lu Feng kept trying to find a topic to discuss in order to break the oppressive atmosphere in the car. However, after thinking it over, he felt that he had little to talk about with women, so he simply closed his eyes to rest

One day, I, Lu Feng, will not be invited in by others, but will drive in myself, and he will live inside

This jinxed aunt is about to find a breakthrough opportunity, and you just had to disturb it! It was you last time too! I must have owed you in my past life!

He has never told his parents about this matter, fearing that they would worry. His parents still believe that he is attending university. They have always hoped that he would study hard and find a good job in the future. He has let down his parents' expectations, which is why he does not dare to return. He is afraid of seeing the disappointment in their eyes, so he is determined to succeed

Lu Feng took a stroll around the snack street and arrived at a barbecue restaurant, where he sat down at an outdoor table, waiting for the fragrant, medium-rare grilled lamb skewers

In just two short days, he nearly exhausted his internal energy twice, yet each time he meditated and cultivated his internal energy, it became more concentrated and refined within his body, with clear progress evident.

After spending a year in society, he has not found a decent job. He knows nothing except for the knowledge from textbooks, and after a year of experience in society, he has come to realize that the usefulness of textbook knowledge is pitifully limited

Upon thinking of this, the landlady immediately went to the next place

Not allowed
