Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from the New Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2: Telephone Talk with Guderian, Mingfei Enters the Regent Hotel

Ever since Guderian received the message that Lu Mingfei had already received the letter, he stared at his phone as if in deep meditation.

However, his mood was not like that of a meditating monk; rather, it was like the nervousness of someone who had confessed their feelings to a girl they barely knew, feeling awkward and embarrassed.

But he never dreamed the phone call would come so quickly, and he never dreamed that answering the phone would elicit such a soft laugh.

With three parts sarcasm, three parts disdain, and four parts contempt.

What does it mean?

Has the other party already realized something? Are they finding his anxious appearance laughable? Could it be that Lu Mingfei has awakened the power of words and can see what's happening on his side?

As expected of an S-class!

He became even more nervous, as if he had heard a girl who had confessed to him chuckle in response, and he began to speak haltingly.

"Hello! You must be Lu Mingfei! I've been waiting so long for this call, it's such a pleasant surprise to hear your voice."

Lu Mingfei's eyes softened instantly. He was longing for him. Yuan Shao liked to use this word, which made him nostalgic. Then he spoke.

"Oh, it's me. I wanted to ask, your school extended an invitation to me and you will be conducting an interview, right?"

Sensing that Lu Mingfei's tone had softened, Guderian couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief; he had made the right choice.

Now that the conversation was on track, he got into his own rhythm and spoke much more fluently than before.

"Yes, the interview is the day after tomorrow morning at the Regent Hotel. Is that a convenient time for you?"

Lu Mingfei felt a little warm at the sight of Liu Bei's bot, who always said "Yes, sir" to everyone, but his tone was numb and showed no respect.

He looked around at the surrounding buildings and suddenly realized that he couldn't remember where he lived. After thinking for a moment, he asked.

"The timing is convenient, but I don't know if it's convenient where you are? I... I don't have a good relationship with my family, so I need to find another place to rest."

It's true that they don't get along; that middle-aged woman is definitely not his mother, but she lives in his house.

By now, Lu Mingfei had figured it out: the other party was a parasite living in his house, but the main reason he wasn't going back was that he had forgotten where he lived.

Guderian suddenly realized that the chuckle was a self-deprecating laugh, a loneliness born of bloodlust, an outburst of frustration from being a guest in someone else's home, a feeling unique to mixed-race people like them. That phone call was simply destiny!

Since things have come to this, what else is there to say? I'll just invite you to stay at my place, and that'll be fine!

Half an hour later, at the Regent Hotel.

"The Regent Hotel truly lives up to its reputation as the city's premier hotel! It's a paradise on earth!"

Looking at the luxurious glass doors, the luxurious interior, and the luxurious decor, Lu Mingfei exclaimed in admiration.

"I never expected this place to receive such high praise from you."

A handsome man and a beautiful woman walked towards Lu Mingfei with enthusiastic smiles. The man grabbed Lu Mingfei's hand without saying a word.

"Hello! Lu Mingfei!"

"Your Chinese is excellent, Professor Gu. I thought you were from China when I heard you on the phone! I didn't expect you to look like you're from China too, and you're so young. Is this your family member?"

Lu Mingfei struck up a conversation with the man, his tone somewhat friendly, but unfortunately, as soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the two people opposite him turned strange.

"...Uh, I'm sorry, I'm not Professor Guderian, my name is Ye Sheng, and this is Jiu Deya Ji. Professor Guderian has important business to attend to and will not be able to come until the evening of the day after tomorrow."

Ye Sheng's gaze turned strange, but he still tried his best to look at Lu Mingfei with eager eyes, and then spoke in a very friendly manner.

"To join our family, you don't need to learn English; all the students in our school speak Chinese."

"Oh...that's good."

Lu Mingfei smiled and pulled his hand out of the other person's grasp, then continued speaking.

"Where is your residence located?"

"Oh! I forgot, come on, this way."

The place to stay was alright. Although it wasn't as nice as my own house in Xuchang, and I didn't have any servants or maids, it was still quite spacious.

Ye Sheng looked at Lu Mingfei's calm and collected expression in the presidential suite and wondered what he was pretending for.

But he still maintained his composure and spoke very kindly, saying a few polite things like, "You can come to me with anything," and "Go to my room," and "What's his room number?"

Lu Mingfei entered the room, where the huge floor-to-ceiling windows allowed him to overlook the entire city.

The towering concrete jungle was dotted with lights, and cars streamed along the streets, just like the people he used to watch from the restaurant, carrying lanterns and walking around at night.

Looking at the city, which was so different from what he remembered, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh.

Although they were all extraordinary people, it was still the place where he had worked hard for nearly fifty years. He had risen to the position of Grand Commander of Cao Wei, which was second only to the emperor, yet he had never had the time to properly see Xuchang City.

But today, after only one afternoon, I have already overlooked the entire city, and memories of those lonely nights gazing at the night sky from the rooftop have surfaced bit by bit.

After arriving in that distorted Three Kingdoms period, he was so busy that he had never had such a time before. Although it was lonely, it was also something to miss.

"What are you thinking about? Your uncle and aunt, or Chen Wenwen? It can't be Lu Mingze, can it—"

The sudden sound made Lu Mingfei turn around instantly. A powerful aura swept through the air and rushed towards the person, making the scene so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

This was a move that had always been effective for him on the battlefield; anyone who looked into his eyes would be instantly stunned and unable to move.

Unfortunately, it has little effect on some powerful generals and those rulers.

Just like how Boss Cao killed people in his dreams, he never had the habit of letting others invade his private space.

The newcomer was a beautiful young woman with long hair that glowed red under the lights, fair skin, purple running shoes, tight jeans, a white tank top and a light blue short-sleeved shirt, and a baseball cap on her head.

Unfortunately, being good-looking was useless. He looked at the woman, while holding the lamp in his hand.

Having spent the afternoon gradually getting used to this era where killing is not easy, he didn't use that to blow the other person's head off, but instead spoke cautiously.

Who are you?

Overwhelmed by the oppressive aura, Nono subconsciously raised her hands. Realizing what was happening, she lowered her hands with some displeasure and leaned against the door frame with her arms crossed.

"I am Nono."

I asked who you are, not your name.

Lu Mingfei narrowed his eyes dangerously, but only heard the other party click his tongue.

"A student from Kassel College, who's kind of your senior, has come to invite you to dinner. Put down that lamp."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei did not put down the lamp. He continued to look at the other party cautiously before speaking.

"You may leave now. Remember to knock next time."

After watching Nuonuo leave the door looking unhappy, Lu Mingfei finally put the lamp back.

Unbeknownst to him, Nono stared in disbelief at her trembling hands.

"How could this be when the golden eyes didn't even light up?"
