Chapter 295 - 295 Family Video
In addition, the list of the top four and the schedule of the semi-finals were officially released.
Lu Ziling from Yanjing Hunter University versus Jiang Yan from Huaqing Hunter University.
Lu Benwei from Zhejiang Hunter University versus Wang Zining from Hudan Hunter University.
At the same time, the news of Lu Benwei advancing to the top four spread and shocked everyone.
Zhejiang Hunter University was decorated with lanterns and streamers to celebrate Lu Benwei’s entry into the top four. It was also the best result that Zhejiang Hunter University had achieved in recent years.
“Brother Lu is so strong! He entered the National Class Tournament as a freshman and a magician, and he made it to the top four!”
Du Gu, Gu Xuan, and the others gathered in the activity room of the God Slayers Club and congratulated Lu Benwei from thousands of miles away.
“That’s enough, you guys are making it seem like I won the tournament.”
From thousands of miles away, Lu Benwei started a video call with one of the members of the God Slayers Club.
“Our next opponent is Wang Zining from Hudan Hunter University. I heard that she and Sister Chu are childhood friends. If we use the back door and get them to give in to us, it will only be a matter of time before we enter the final.”
Du Gu and Qian Hai laughed evilly.
“That’s enough. Zining is in her fourth year. This is the last time she’s participating in the National Class Tournament. I’m sure she’ll do her best.” Chu Yan rolled her eyes.
Du Gu and Qian Hai laughed, and then asked, “Sister Chu, are your injuries getting better?”
“They’re almost healed.”
“That’s good. When Sister Chu saved Brother Lu, we were so worried.”
After a pause, Du Gu laughed evilly. “By the way, Brother Lu, Sister Chu saved your life. Aren’t you going to do something for her?”
Then, Chu Yan’s face blushed and she secretly looked at Lu Benwei.
Lu Benwei patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll do my best in the next game and enter the final. I’ll win the tournament for Chu Yan and everyone else.
“Tsk!”
Everyone immediately looked at Lu Benwei with disdain, making him confused.
Chu Yan was also slightly relieved, but there was an unspeakable sense of disappointment in her heart.
Lu Benwei was even more confused and was about to ask when Lu Ziling called him away.
“What’s wrong, Ziling?”
Lu Ziling crossed her arms and said angrily, “You’re really something. Such a big thing happened in the top eight to the top four competition, but you didn’t even call home.”
Lu Benwei scratched his head in embarrassment.
“Aren’t we too busy? Not only do I have to take care of Chu Yan, but I also have to train and participate in the tournament.”
When Lu Ziling heard this, she waved her hands. “Forget it. After all, Chu Yan saved your life. It’s only right for you to put your thoughts on her.”
“What do you mean my Chu Yan? Ziling, don’t talk nonsense.” Lu Benwei felt inexplicable.
Lu Ziling did not reply to Lu Benwei’s words and directly video-called her father, Lu Dayong.
“Hey, Ziling, where’s that little brat?”
“He’s beside me,” Lu Ziling responded and pointed the phone camera at Lu Benwei.
Instantly, Lu Benwei saw the kind faces of his parents, Lu Dayong and Jiang Xiuqin.
“Mom, Dad, how are you?”
Lu Dayong’s expression became very stern.
“You still have the face to call us Mom and Dad. Such a big thing happened, and it’s been a few days. You didn’t even call home to let us know that you’re safe. You’re the reason why your mom can’t sleep every night. If we didn’t call your sister, we wouldn’t even know what’s going on with you.”
“Alright, alright,” Jiang Xiuqin chimed in and stopped Lu Dayong from getting angry at Lu Benwei. “Isn’t Little Lu fine now?”
“Dad, Mom, I’m sorry. I’ve been too busy these days,” Lu Benwei said apologetically.
Lu Dayong turned his head away. Jiang Xiuqin had no choice but to take the phone back to her chest.
“Little Lu, it’s good that you’re alright. How’s the girl who saved you? She wasn’t bullied by that Wang family, was she?”
Lu Benwei pondered for a while and said, “She’s fine. A super big shot helped us out in the end.”
“Oh, that’s good. This world is still filled with righteous people.”
Jiang Xiuqin sighed with emotion.
“By the way, it’s almost new year after the competition. Ask that girl if she’s free and come to our house. We’ll thank her properly.”
“What?”
Jiang Xiuqin’s sudden change in tone stunned Lu Benwei and Lu Ziling.
“Let Chu Yan come to our house?” Lu Benwei swallowed his saliva.
Lu Dayong chimed in from the side. “That’s right. After all, she saved your life. If you don’t show her your gratitude, it’ll seem like the Lu family doesn’t know how to appreciate a favor.”
At this time, Lu Benwei and Lu Ziling each had their own thoughts.
Chu Yan was the daughter of one of the national pillars of the Dragon Kingdom and had a prominent status. How could the Lu family withstand such a great guest?
Lu Ziling was thinking that she had almost heard Lu Dayong and Jiang Xiuqin’s calculations.
“Mom, Dad, isn’t it a little too soon to ask her to come to our house?”
“What’s so soon about it? Little Lu is already 18 today. If it was ten years ago, the child would’ve learned how to play soy sauce.” Jiang Xiuqin’s smile was so wide that it almost reached the back of her head.
Lu Benwei was confused. “Mom, what are you talking about?”
...
At this moment, Lu Dayong cleared his throat and said, “Don’t care what your mother says to Ziling. In short, you must bring that girl back today, or else… Otherwise, don’t come back for the new year this year!”
After saying that, the two elders turned their heads away and whispered something else.
After a few words of concern, the family ended the video call.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Benwei let out a long sigh of relief.
“What’s wrong? Why does a video call feel like visiting a grave?” Lu Ziling complained.
“Nothing, I’m just worried about how I’m going to get through this.”
“Surely Mom and Dad asked you to bring Chu Yan home. Are you that unwilling?” Lu Ziling said angrily.
“This…”
Lu Benwei wanted to answer yes, but he found that he could not say it no matter what.
Seeing Lu Benwei’s hesitation, Lu Ziling’s lips suddenly curved up. “Since you don’t want to invite her, I’ll go and invite her for you.”
“Don’t, don’t. don’t…” Lu Benwei quickly stopped her.
...
“I’ll take some time to invite her over these few days.”
“This is more like it.” Lu Ziling put her hands on her hips, paused, and turned her head to say, “By the way, what are your plans for the next match?”
“Of course, it’s to defeat Wang Zining and enter the finals,” Lu Benwei responded.
“Ziling, it shouldn’t be hard for you to get into the finals, right? If I get into the finals as well, we can just have a casual fight. It doesn’t matter who gets the Giant Kingdom’s stone tablet.”
Suddenly, Lu Ziling’s expression changed. “No, you can’t take the stone tablet.”
