I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 828: Senior Brother Yuan Jing Is Injured Again

The Empire State Building's observation deck should have been closed by now, with no guests allowed. However, at this moment, there are two figures seated on the outside ledge with their legs dangling, leisurely watching the fire at an underground auction site in the distance and the chaotic crowds surrounding it.

"How does this compare to the time you caused a commotion in Miami?" Lin Wan asked.

Last time, Lu Zheng was handling the Grant issue, went to Miami, and somehow got entangled in trouble, ending up as the protagonist in a spy drama creating havoc in Miami, even pinning the blame on the Lighthouse Country's intelligence department.

Lin Wan wasn't present, a fact she always regretted. Seeing the chaos below, she couldn't help but ask.

"Not even close!" Lu Zheng shrugged, "Back then, police chased me down ten streets, even helicopters and armored cars joined in, aiming rocket launchers at me. That was in a busy downtown area, mind you. You can imagine the scale of that chaos; this is just minor skirmishes in comparison."

Lin Wan couldn't help but laugh, "Talk about being full of yourself!"

"Aren't I?" Lu Zheng replied with a smug laugh, then shook his head.

"What's the matter?" Lin Wan asked.

Lu Zheng smirked, mocking, "It's a pity that the Lighthouse Country doesn't have a real Spider-Man or Iron Man. Otherwise, if we were hanging out so blatantly at the top of the Empire State Building, they'd definitely have caught us by now."

"Wouldn't that be better?"

"Yes, very much so!" Lu Zheng nodded, smiling, "But it feels meaningless. I kind of wanted to test who was stronger, me or Spider-Man."

Lin Wan glanced at him, "You wouldn't want to perform publicly, would you?"

"No way!" Lu Zheng waved his hand, "I don't have that kind of malicious interest, nor do I want to boost the confidence of Lighthouse Country's citizens."

Lin Wan shrugged, "So, lead a rebellion?"

"Tsk—"

Lu Zheng couldn't help but hiss, realizing that Lin Wan was truly conniving!

Complete psychological warfare!

Pretending to be Spider-Man, leading the Lighthouse Country's citizens to revolt against capitalists?

Given Spider-Man's influence among Lighthouse Country's citizens, it's likely more effective than that golden-haired leader...

As for me disguising as Spider-Man...

Can't even think about it!

Because the more I think, the more tempting it becomes!

But the only obstacle is...

"Such trouble!" Lu Zheng sighed, "I don't have enough time! Just thinking about the complications makes it a hassle!"

"I was just chattering, and you were serious about it?" Lin Wan said in surprise, "What are you thinking about?"

Lu Zheng, "..."

Seeing the teasing in Lin Wan's eyes and the mischievous smile on her lips, Lu Zheng couldn't help but grin, then wrapped his arm around Lin Wan, returning to the observation deck of the Empire State Building.

"Right here!"

"Watching below!"

...

Sirens blared throughout the night, and the CIA was busy all night, many bigshots were furious, and countless small figures voiced their grievances.

But none of this could stop the artifact thief from striking again, not only stealing a batch of artifacts worth hundreds of millions of US Dollars but also landing themselves on the news headlines.

Luckily, no one died, except those unfortunate capitalists who suffered damage due to lack of insurance, the only other casualty was a CIA commander.

Fortunately, he had connections, so he merely resigned out of guilt, though his life remained unharmed.

Meanwhile, the internet was once again reveling.

"Can someone explain what happened? I hadn't heard about any auction recently, and the artifact thief usually doesn't touch official and recognized items."

"Bro, have you heard of underground auctions?"

"Tsk tsk, those wealthy folks are truly unlucky this time."

"Modern Robin Hood, brilliant job!"

"And no innocent lives lost, they're just like Batman."

"Returning artifacts to their rightful owners, hopefully, this batch contains our Pharaoh Country's items too, as we're among the greatest losers..."

"Am I the only one thinking they committed a crime? They should collect evidence of those stolen artifacts and take legal action against them, forcing them to return the artifacts through law, this is civilization."

"You're naive!"

"I also think they went too far this time, setting the venue on fire, what if someone died?"

"No one died, means they're skillful!"

"But their actions indeed caused a bad impact, I think they should come forward and apologize."

Truth be told, there are actually lots of do-gooders online, and the network is split into two factions, both relentless, with critics mostly from developed countries, while those cheering are, of course, the affected nations.

Unfortunately...what does the artifact thief's deed have to do with me, Lu Zheng?

So, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan crossed the Pacific Ocean back to Hai City around midnight the following day, even had enough time to enjoy a meal of satay noodles and dumplings at the community breakfast shop.

"I'm off to work!" Lin Wan said goodbye to Lu Zheng after breakfast and then drove away.

Lu Zheng waved back at Lin Wan, watched her leave, then turned around and traveled back to ancient times.

...

Time travel to ancient times, Liu Qingyan had already gone to Renxin Hall, yet the Tu Family's three sisters hadn't followed her.

Tu Yujiao went off to play on her own, Tu Yuya went to Peach Blossom Plain for leisure, and Tu Yuqing came to the Lu Family, soaking in the study of Lu Zheng's side courtyard, where Lu Zheng's collection of books and picture albums were found.

"Young Master Lu has returned?"

The Tu Family Sisters also knew about Lu Zheng's frequent solitary retreats for cultivation, and they weren't suspicious of it—it's normal for extraordinary people to do extraordinary things. Lu Zheng's cultivation level is so high, having his own minor habits is perfectly normal, as many other geniuses are the same.

These habits wouldn't even be shared with their pillow mates, let alone other people probing about them.

"I'm back, go ahead with your reading!"

At this moment, Tu Yuqing was lying on the rocking chair in front of the study's door, holding a book to read, with a pot of tea alongside her. The dappled sunlight filtered through the leaves of the old tree behind her, enveloping her entire being in a wave of languid scholarly ambiance.

Tu Yuqing unreservedly, without getting up, just waved at Lu Zheng, then returned her gaze to the book.

Lu Zheng nodded, realizing she was a girl who loved to learn, but on a closer look, he glanced over the book title.

"Snowy Jade Fox Walk"

A book narrating the love story between a Jade Fox and a Scholar.

Lu Zheng, "..."

Slightly shaking his head, Lu Zheng did not go to Renxin Hall, but instead brought fresh fruits and tea leaves, bought some pastries, and leisurely headed up Shaotong Mountain.

Just as he reached halfway, he saw Yuan Jing emerging pale-faced from the woods.

"Senior Brother?" Lu Zheng's face changed, "Are you injured?"

"Cough, cough!" Yuan Jing coughed twice, took a deep breath, casually waved his hand, "It's nothing, just a minor injury, it's harmless."

"Who was the opponent?" Lu Zheng inquired.

At this point, Yuan Jing casually waved, "A ghost, pretty formidable, but I've laid them to rest!"

"Heh heh heh..."

A cold sneer suddenly emerged, then a black cloud engulfed both Yuan Jing and Lu Zheng, "Laid me to rest? No, no, no. I just wanted to see what you would look like when you return to the sect and find that you can never go back."

Yuan Jing's face changed, while Lu Zheng glanced around, scoffing, "Bragging big time, clearly a mutual wounding with my senior brother, and using this tactic would require a long recovery period."

"Hm?" The ghost was dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Yuan Jing exhaled in relief, calmly waved his hand, "Junior brother, it's up to you now."
