Chapter 298: Let's Go Together
After Lu Yu and Wen Ya finished their meal, they wandered aimlessly around Chongguang Square, exploring various curious little shops and tasting many local snacks. To outsiders, they seemed like a couple, incredibly sweet.
Unknowingly, it had already reached dusk. The sunset, as red as blood, reflected on Lu Yu and Wen Ya, stretching their shadows and creating an incomparably romantic scene.
Slowly lifting his head to glance at the blood-red sunset, Lu Yu smiled slightly. He then turned to look at Wen Ya beside him and said, "Alright, it's evening now, we should head back. At night, Beigang City is not as orderly as during the day."
Hearing these words, Wen Ya's stunning face displayed a charming smile, and she said, "Alright, I've heard that the night view of Victoria Harbor in Beigang City is incredibly beautiful, but unfortunately, you can only see it from the hotel and can't experience it firsthand."
Her words held a hint of disappointment.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu smiled slightly, then said, "I understand, Sister Demon. I promise, in a few nights, we will definitely go to Victoria Harbor to enjoy the night view and let you feel the sea breeze!"
Lu Yu's words were filled with a serene smile, looking very calm.
"Really?"
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Wen Ya, like an innocent young girl, said happily, "You said it, little brother. I didn't force you at all."
With her words, Wen Ya's radiant face in the blood-red sunset appeared astonishingly beautiful, possessing an entrancing and captivating allure.
Seeing Wen Ya's charming appearance, Lu Yu smiled slightly, then said, "Of course. When I say something, I mean it."
"Great!"
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Wen Ya smiled slightly and directly hugged Lu Yu's arm, then said, "In that case, let's head back."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu smiled slightly and quickly hailed a cab, heading straight to the Peninsula Hotel where he was staying.
...
After returning to the Peninsula Hotel, just as he reached the hotel front desk, Lu Yu's body tensed slightly. He suddenly felt a creeping sensation behind him, as if someone's gaze was penetrating his back, making him extremely uncomfortable.
Due to his experiences on a deserted island, Lu Yu's danger perception was exceptionally sharp.
Therefore, after sensing the gaze, Lu Yu did not react excessively. He handed the room card to Wen Ya, letting her return to the room to rest. He then slowly turned and walked out of the Peninsula Hotel directly to a deserted beach at Victoria Harbor.
By now, it was gradually getting dark. Standing on the soft sand and looking at the distant neon-lit cityscape, Lu Yu chuckled, shaking his head, and said, "Come out; you've been following so long, you must be tired!"
Sand, sand, sand.
As soon as he spoke these words, there was an immediate shuffle of feet.
Upon hearing the noise, Lu Yu slowly turned around and saw five robust, middle-aged men standing behind him, glaring at him with murderous eyes, appearing extremely terrifying.
These five middle-aged men were all dressed in the same black traditional martial attire. Each had a stern face and held different weapons, including long knives, swords, and spears. At first glance, they sharply contrasted with the modern buildings behind them, making it look like a scene from a period martial arts film.
These were the Five Elders of the Azure Dragon Association under Zhang Zhiheng's command.
"Your outfits are really out of touch with this era,"
Looking at the Five Elders of Cyan Dragon before him, Lu Yu coldly laughed and said, "But with such outdated equipment, it's quite impressive that you've cleared so many enemies for the Azure Dragon Association!"
"Hmph!"
Upon hearing this, the leader of the Five Elders, holding a longsword, snorted coldly, and said to Lu Yu, "Kid, how old are you? Real experts use traditional weapons. Guns might be useful against common people, but in our eyes, they are just trash!"
"Ah Da, stop wasting words with this kid. The boss ordered us to arrest this kid for crippling Young Master Beichen and bring him back for the boss to handle!"
The leader having said this, a man wielding a long knife spoke with coldness in his eyes, resembling a solitary wolf in the night emitting threads of killing intent. This man was Ah Er.
"Take me back to your boss?"
Upon hearing Ah Er's mandarin, Lu Yu's face showed a hint of a cold smile, one mixed with irony: "Do you think you five have the strength to take me down? Is that possible?"
Lu Yu's words exuded unparalleled confidence. In his eyes, the Five Elders of Cyan Dragon were no match for him!
"Arrogant!"
Upon hearing Lu Yu, Ah Er's eyes immediately showed a cold killing intent. He pointed his long knife at Lu Yu and coldly said, "Since you're so insolent, I'll exchange a few moves with you first!"
Saying that, the cold blade of Ah Er's long knife flashed, and in an instant, he was ready to strike!
"Wait!"
Seeing Ah Er's actions, Lu Yu spoke up, halting Ah Er's move.
"What? Afraid?"
Upon hearing Lu Yu, Ah Er sneered and said.
"No."
Lu Yu shook his head slowly, his gaze sweeping over the Five Elders of Cyan Dragon, before finally resting on Ah Er, saying, "You should all come at me together; there's a beauty waiting for me where I stay, and I'm in a hurry!"
With these words, icy killing intent flashed in the eyes of the Five Elders of Cyan Dragon. Lu Yu's words struck deeply at their pride!
One person was challenging the five of them. Such words were not only extremely arrogant but also an insult to the Five Elders of Cyan Dragon!
"Bastard, I will chop you to pieces today!"
Enraged by Lu Yu's words, Ah Er yelled, and with a flash of cold light from his long knife, he aimed a fierce blow at Lu Yu!
