Chapter 408 - 408 Returning to School

408 Returning to School

Zhang Minghua’s expression became complicated, and his eyes were filled with hesitation.

“Dad, actually…”

Zhang Minghua’s father urged him. “Actually what? Where did you put the stone tablet?”

Zhang Minghua’s face turned pale and he stammered, “When you gave me the stone tablet this morning, I thought it was heavy, so I left it at home…”

“What?”

Zhang Minghua’s father was dumbfounded. Lu Benwei silently held his forehead. This was quite in line with Zhang Minghua’s style.

“You brat, why did you leave it at home?”

Zhang Minghua’s father gave Zhang Minghua a hard blow.

“I don’t know. You gave it to me because you wanted me to give it to Lu Benwei,” Zhang Minghua said with a long face.

Zhang Minghua’s father was furious, but the most important thing now was to hand the stone tablet to Lu Benwei.

“Student Lu, when is your flight?”

Lu Benwei looked at the time and frowned. “There are still two and a half hours left.”

The highway to the airport was in the North of Green Spirit City, while Zhang Minghua’s home was in the South. If he were to go back and get it now, he would not have enough time.

Lu Benwei also had to leave immediately for the airport.

“Uncle Zhang, if we really don’t have enough time, then let’s just forget about it,” Lu Benwei said, “Moreover, I’m not an alchemist by profession, so the stone tablet isn’t of much use to me.”

“Hmph, you don’t understand.” Zhang Minghua’s father slapped his thigh and said, “Refining medicine isn’t something exclusive to alchemists.”

“Is that so?” Lu Benwei was stunned. This was the first time he had heard of this concept.

Zhang Minghua’s father said, “As long as it’s refining medicine, anyone can do it. The only difference between an alchemist and an non-alchemist is that an alchemist is faster and has better comprehension.”

“I see.” Lu Benwei understood.

Then, he muttered to himself for a while and said, “Uncle Zhang, we don’t have enough time. Let Minghua hold onto the stone tablet.”

“It’s fine.” Zhang Minghua’s father waved his hand. “Lu Benwei, get out of the car first. Go to the airport with your friend. I’ll get the driver to drive home now. He’ll catch up after stepping on the gas a few more times!”

Seeing Zhang Minghua’s father’s insistence, Lu Benwei did not dare to refuse.

After getting out of the car, Lu Benwei saw Chu Yan, Lu Dayong and his wife at the entrance of the neighborhood.

Lu Benwei waved goodbye to Zhang Minghua, and then the Lincoln limousine roared and headed home. He even ran two red lights.

“They didn’t even look at the red light?” Lu Dayong frowned and muttered, “Little Lu, who’s that?”

“My classmate. He’s here to discuss something with me,” Lu Benwei casually replied.

“Get in the car.” Lu Dayong did not mind and told him to get into the car.

The car started slowly, and Lu Dayong and his wife brought Lu Benwei and Chu Yan to the airport. The journey was smooth, and Lu Benwei and Chu Yan arrived at the airport very quickly.

After getting out of the car and bidding farewell to the two elders, the two checked in, waited for the flight, and then began boarding.

Lu Benwei looked at the time and waited in line at the empty airport.

“It seems like they won’t be able to make it,” Lu Benwei said lightly.

“What did you just say?”

As soon as Chu Yan’s voice fell, the roar of the engine and the siren of the police car came from the far end of the parking square.

“Boom!”

A Panamera entered the parking lot. Dozens of patrol cars were closely following behind.

“Damn, Zhang Minghua this guy…” Lu Benwei’s mouth twitched.

He did not expect that Zhang Minghua would pay such a huge price to give Lu Benwei a stone tablet.

Barging into the airport with a private car was not a small crime.

Lu Benwei’s phone rang. Without a doubt, it was Zhang Minghua.

Lu Benwei used Lightning Speed and quickly approached Zhang Minghua.

“Whoosh!”

Lu Benwei’s burst of speed created a strong wind field. In an instant, all the passengers waiting to board the plane were attracted.

“Damn, this is a scene that only appears in a game!”

“This kid is so fast! Which school did you graduate from?”

Zhang Minghua was driving the car when he saw Lu Benwei running toward him.

“Damn, Lu Benwei, how can you be so fast? Don’t you know that a man can’t be too fast?” Zhang Minghua said as he handed the stone tablet to Lu Benwei.

Lu Benwei understood Zhang Minghua’s meaning and laughed. “Go to hell.”

After receiving the stone tablet, the airport patrol arrived and pressed Zhang Minghua to the ground.

Lu Benwei said, “How daring of you to speed to the airport.”

The patrolmen wanted to arrest Lu Benwei. However, the moment he said that, the patrolman immediately dispelled this thought.

Although it was not right to say that, it could dispel the suspicion of the patrolmen.

As Lu Benwei was about to board the plane, the patrol did not request for him to record his statement.

…

On the plane, Lu Benwei took out the stone tablet.

It was covered with dense and complicated patterns, and it contained the blood essence of the Zhang family’s ancestors for hundreds of years.

Lu Benwei kept rubbing it with his hand. He knew why the Zhang father and son were willing to give up everything to send the stone tablet to Lu Benwei.

One was to express his gratitude to Lu Benwei. Secondly, he hoped that this legacy would continue.

At this time, Lu Benwei received a message on his phone.

“Don’t worry, Lu Benwei. My father has used his connections. I’m fine! I’m going to study hard in the future and become an alchemist. When that time comes, you must return my family’s legacy stone tablet.”

Lu Benwei chuckled, replied with an “OK” emoji, and went to sleep.

…

After a day and a night of travel, Lu Benwei and Chu Yan returned to Zhejiang Hunter University at eight in the morning.

The registration period for the start of the school term was in two days.

It was the morning of the first day, and the crowd on the campus was still quite sparse.

After Lu Benwei finished packing his luggage, he immediately received a message from Chen Yuan.

“Lu Benwei, please come to my office when you arrive.”

Lu Benwei did not say anything and went directly to Chen Yuan’s office.

“Welcome back, the hero of Canglong City!”

The moment Lu Benwei entered, he saw Chen Yuan raising his glass to congratulate him.

“Mr. Principal, I’m flattered,” Lu Benwei touched his nose and said, “I only made an insignificant contribution!

“Is that so?” Chen Yuan was playing with a pair of walnuts.

“But you’ve only accumulated a few insignificant contributions, and your name has already spread throughout the entire Dragon Kingdom. Right now, countless guild leaders are fighting to ask me for you.”

Lu Benwei blinked, not understanding what Chen Yuan meant.

“It’s for you to graduate early and join the army,” Chen Yuan said.
