Chapter 644 Lu Yu’s Parents

The annihilation of the Yuan family stunned everyone.

Before the onlookers could recover from their shock, their eyeballs were attracted by something else.

Everyone held their breath as the five armored vehicles drove down the road.

Unless something major occurred, the military would not normally relocate to any city.

Now that the five armored vehicles had arrived, the onlookers couldn’t help but speculate.

“The military is here. What exactly are they doing here?”

“Are there enemies in the city? Is something big going down in Cloud City?”

“Let’s see how things go. We must find out why they’re here!”

“…”

The leading armored car came to a halt in front of Lu Yu. When the door opened, a middle-aged man in an army green uniform emerged and approached Lu Yu.

Lu Yu turned to face him and saluted.

He was the colonel in command of this operation. He had a strong body and a righteous expression. His eyes were bright and alive, and he looked like he could see through everything.

“You must be Lu Yu, right? I’ve known your name for some time.” He smiled as he walked over to Lu Yu and extended his right hand.

Lu Yu extended his right hand and shook it.

“That’s right; my name is Lu Yu. You’ve arrived just in time. We still have a chance because the enemy hasn’t made their move yet.”

“Great. My name is Zhang Yi, and it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Lu Yu gave a slight nod. “The portal to the ancient ruins is now open, and you may enter whenever you like. However, I must remind you that the enemy is formidable. You must exercise extreme caution.”

“Don’t worry,” Zhang Yi said with a smile. “Let us handle the rest. You don’t need to be concerned for the time being.”

Lu Yu turned to face Jiang Lengyue. “You must pay special attention to just one thing. The Third Prince of the Lionheart Empire’s royal family has joined the Truth Department and has obtained the Death Spirit Dragon as his battle pet.”

Zhang Yi was taken aback and asked, “How could this be? A prince joining the Truth Department? How did he acquire the ability to tame the Death Spirit Dragon?”

“Because the Death Spirit Dragon has lost its soul, taming it is much easier. The Third Prince, Walter, possesses the ability of a Beast Tamer.”

Zhang Yi was anxious after learning this. “If it’s the Death Spirit Dragon, it’s not going to be easy to deal with…”

Lu Yu was also aware of this. The Death Spirit Dragon’s soul alone was so powerful that not even Jiang Lengyue could stop it. Its combat strength was way stronger now that they had to face its actual body.

“We’ll be well-prepared to handle this situation. If we aren’t strong enough, I’ll consult with my superiors.”

“But there’s something important I need to tell you. Get in my car.”

“No problem,” Lu Yu said with a slight nod.

Zhang Yi turned around and approached the armored vehicle, with Lu Yu close behind.

At this point, Jiang Lengyue asked Lu Yu, “Lu Yu, are you going to return to the upper house or join the military?”

Lu Yu and Jiang Lengyue both knew he wouldn’t be able to return to the ancient ruins. He was no match for the Truth Department at his current strength and had no choice but to defer to the military.

It was, however, not easy for him to get that much stronger so quickly. Lu Yu could benefit from staying in the upper house or joining the military, so it all came down to which side Lu Yu chose.

“Dean Jiang, Lu Yu is coming to the military,” Zhang Yi said as Lu Yu turned his head. “He will not be attending university any longer.”

“What makes you so certain?” Jiang Lengyue demanded, dissatisfied. “What if Lu Yu wants to return?”

“Wait until I’m finished talking to him; he’ll be firm in his decision,” Zhang Yi declared confidently.

Zhang Yi stood up and walked onto the armored vehicle after saying that.

Jiang Lengyue stood where she was, scowling angrily. “Hmph, that blind confidence of his. I doubt you’ll be able to persuade Lu Yu so easily!”

The surrounding crowd was shocked to learn that Lu Yu had a good relationship with Jiang Lengyue and was close to the military.

“This young man named Lu Yu is sure of something else. “It’s one thing for Dean Jiang to protect him, but why is the military so friendly with him as well?”

“That officer appears to be a colonel. He’s not your average military personnel!”

“No shit. One more rank, and he’s a general.”

“It appears something significant is about to occur in Cloud City.”

“What is the background of this young man, Lu Yu? Is he that important?”

“…”

Lu Yu sat in the back seat of the armored vehicle, while Zhang Yi sat in the front passenger seat.

Xu Yuan was sitting next to Lu Yu with his eyes closed. He smiled when he saw Lu Yu.

“Lu Yu, you’ve arrived. There’s something big for you to know!”

Lu Yu asked Xu Yuan, “What’s so important that it’s making you this excited? Is it connected to you?”

Xu Yuan shook his head. “It has absolutely nothing to do with me; it’s about you!”

“Me? Just say it if there’s something.”

“Sorry, but only Colonel Zhang is qualified to talk about this,” Xu Yuan looked at Zhang Yi. “My ranking is insufficient.”

Lu Yu was getting increasingly curious.

“The military’s Information Department has declassified a new batch of files about an ancient ruin,” Zhang Yi said to Lu Yu.

“Hm? An ancient ruin from the past? Does it have anything to do with the ancient ruins we were in?”

“This one predates those ancient ruins by centuries, and ordinary archaeologists are not permitted to enter.”

...

“The ancient dragon tomb is the name given to this declassified ancient ruin. It’s a burial ground for ancient dragons, with a valley full of dragons’ corpses. It also includes some information on ancient civilizations, and many archaeologists travel there to conduct important archaeological research. Many famous archaeologists have made significant discoveries there!”

Lu Yu gave a slight nod. “So, is this something that’s so classified that even you just found out?”

“That’s correct. This is a private document that is highly classified. Only the Freedom Federation is aware of it. The Lionheart Empire and the Stellaris Autonomous Zones are completely unaware of this.”

“Does this somehow concern me? I mean, it’s true that my talent is related to dragons.”

“That comes second. I’m telling you this mainly because the declassified files included the names of two people important to you.”

Lu Yu shook his head. “I only know two military personnel. The first is Xu Yuan, and the second is Wan Guliu.”

“I hope you don’t get too worked up. There’s a reason I’m taking this slowly.”

“Why would I be worked up?” Lu Yu asked, looking at Zhang Yi with a curious expression. “Just tell me, and I’ll be calm.”

“Your parents are the two people listed in the file. Do you recall your parents?”

Lu Yu was stunned in his seat for a few seconds after hearing this, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

“What… What are you on about? What’s this about my parents?”

...

“Yes, your parents. They worked in the military as archaeologists, and they are in charge of the entire archaeologist team.”
