“Do you want me to accompany you back to the Dong family?”
Lu Sheng asked, “Actually, Dong Shengyi’s current situation might not be entirely bad. His aim was set high, walking the invincible path of seeking Sagehood, but he doesn’t consider whether his talent and strength match this path. Even if he didn’t encounter me, someone else would eventually give him a failure, making his journey difficult and full of setbacks, with no hope of reaching Level 9. Now that I’ve completely shattered his path, making him give up on it. If he can find another path, transforming himself, he might have a better chance …”
Dong Qingxue showed a thoughtful expression. After listening to Lu Sheng, she earnestly said, “I don’t fully understand what you’re saying, but I will relay it to Dong Shengyi truthfully.”
Lu Sheng nodded slightly, then suddenly thought of another matter and said seriously, “During this martial exhibition, I’m likely to encounter your brother Dong Potian. Shouldn’t you give him a heads-up? Otherwise, if I beat him up, he might end up like Dong Shengyi, becoming depressed …”
Dong Qingxue instinctively wanted to refute, but thinking of Lu Sheng’s strength, she swallowed her words and nodded helplessly.
“Okay, I’ll tell him.”
The two chatted casually, gradually walking away in the snow.
“Sir, this way please.”
At the high-speed rail station platform, a tall, pretty station attendant walked briskly with a beaming smile, leading two people towards the train carriage. Behind her, two people walked leisurely, one in front and one behind. The person in front had a straight posture, wearing a dark blue military uniform underneath and a black woolen coat outside, with shiny alloy combat boots on his feet and a military cap on his head. His face was extremely young and handsome, with calm eyes, exuding a strong and dignified aura.
The person behind was a short-haired, handsome woman with a cold and capable demeanor, closely following the handsome young military officer in a servile manner. Behind them were several station staff members. They were all strong men, carrying large bags and boxes, responsible for transporting things. Among them, one male staff member holding a silver long weapon case looked particularly strained, his face turning red as he walked.
At the door of the high-speed rail carriage, seven or eight slender, beautiful train attendants stood, each with a respectful and warm smile, giving a pleasant feeling. As the handsome young officer approached, they bowed in unison and greeted him with sweet, melodious voices, like a spring breeze blowing through the snowy winter.
Even Lu Sheng couldn’t help but glance at them a few more times, smiling casually at one of the girls, then stepped into the carriage. Li Die and the staff members carrying the luggage quickly followed. Once everyone entered the carriage, the seven or eight beautiful attendants at the door immediately jumped and cheered excitedly.
“Wow! Is this the sir we are supposed to serve this time? He’s way too handsome!”
“So handsome! So young! He looks exactly like a young commander from a manga … Love it, love it …”
“I told you, the real top-tier handsome guys are all in the military. The handsome ones practice martial arts, the ugly ones become celebrities.”
“The key is, his status and position are high. I heard this sir’s status is much higher than the general we received last time. This route is specially set up for him …”
The beautiful women in thin attendant uniforms, exposing their legs, chattered excitedly in the cold wind without feeling cold. The girl who received Lu Sheng’s smile earlier was even more excited, her pretty face flushed, eyes sparkling with stars, fantasizing about something.
Until an older attendant came over and lightly scolded them, they hurried into the carriage.
Under Li Die’s service, Lu Sheng took off the outer military coat and looked around at the surroundings. The interior of the carriage was red, giving a sense of luxury and grandeur. It had a TV, computer, massage chairs, tables, beds, and a private bathroom, with all kinds of facilities complete. There was also a martial arts room and a dining car in front, with a total of four carriages and dozens of attendants serving Lu Sheng alone.
Even this high-speed rail route from the Eastern Military Region to Baihe City was specially set up for Lu Sheng, with no stops along the way, taking only four hours to reach Baihe City.
“This is the display of a military leader’s privilege …” Lu Sheng sighed, casually sitting on a nearby chair. Immediately, a beautiful attendant in a red uniform and black stockings came up and softly asked if he wanted tea or coffee. Including Li Die, seven or eight people were busy in the carriage, yet they moved silently, evidently well-trained.
A thirty-year-old, elegant, and mature woman walked up to Lu Sheng, leaned over, and said softly, “Sir, I am the head attendant of this train. If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to ask …”
Lu Sheng nodded, glanced around the carriage, and paused his gaze on Li Die for a moment, then said, “I don’t need anything for now. Let the unnecessary people leave, I want to be quiet for a while.”
The head attendant stood up and whispered to the attendants in the carriage one by one. Soon, the carriage was emptied, though one girl reluctantly kept looking at Lu Sheng as she left.
Li Die sat quietly in the corner near the tea table, lowering her eyes, appearing both quiet and obedient. Lu Sheng smirked but didn’t bother her. He took out his phone and started browsing casually.
Out of the military region, Lu Sheng felt completely relaxed. This feeling became more pronounced as the train started moving. It felt like layers of armor were being shed from his body. Thɪs chapter is updated by N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Lu Sheng sent a message to Dong Qingxue. They had left the military district on the same day, both returning home but in different directions. Lu Sheng informed Dong Qingxue that he had boarded the train and briefly asked about her situation. Dong Qingxue quickly replied:
[Everything is smooth. Behave yourself on the train. I know the military stars get treated very well outside. (Warning)]
Lu Sheng chuckled, thought for a moment, and sent back a (Got it) emoji. Dong Qingxue didn’t reply again. Lu Sheng didn’t mind. He and Dong Qingxue had officially confirmed their relationship, though it wasn’t as passionate as an ordinary couple in love. It was calm and steady, with a sense of an old married couple’s tacit understanding. Lu Sheng found it quite good.
He closed the chat with Dong Qingxue and continued scrolling …
