Chapter 11

Lu Li had no idea that his words had caused a great upheaval in the Xue family, even scaring the old general Xue Renzhi, who had fought bloody battles, to sit on the ground, nearly suffering a heart attack. He had merely said what he wanted to say, and he didn't care how others viewed it.

As the class time drew near, Lu Li hurriedly ran towards the classroom.

Just as he reached the entrance of the teaching building, a girl suddenly appeared and blocked his way. He quickly stopped and looked at her in surprise, "Classmate, is there something?"

The girl had clear eyebrows and bright eyes, and she was fidgeting with the hem of her clothes. She偷glanced at Lu Li, her cheeks slightly red. Then she pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket and forcefully shoved it into Lu Li's hand before turning and running away.

Lu Li was taken aback, and when he unfolded the paper, he couldn't help but feel a bit amused.

The paper had two sets of numbers written on it: a phone number and a QQ number.

"By the Three Pure Ones, I, Lu Li, have a day when a girl gives me her phone number. Could it be that seeing me fight Xue Shouye made her think I'm a god?"

If it were before, he might have been so excited that he would jump up. Now, although he was still a bit excited, his mindset was completely different.

He put the paper in his pocket and hurried to the classroom. As soon as he entered, he noticed that the teacher was taking attendance, and Lu Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, he soon realized that the gazes of his classmates were a bit off.

He glanced around the classroom and quickly moved to Zhang Jian's side, asking in confusion, "What's going on with everyone?"

Zhang Jian glared at him, "Pretend, keep pretending. The video of your martial arts match was posted on the school forum, hehe, you're famous now. Damn, I was worried about you being bullied by Liang Jun, but now I realize you're just a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

"Damn, which bastard did this?" Lu Li cursed under his breath.

"Alright, just enjoy it secretly! Congratulations, Third Brother, you've surpassed me and become the new idol of all the single girls in the school." Zhang Jian's face was full of envy and jealousy, "Even your few white hairs have become a symbol of character."

"I—"

Lu Li touched his white hair, feeling a bit embarrassed. He just wanted to focus on his cultivation and make his mother proud, and when the time came, enter the innate realm. He had no interest in dealing with these trivial matters.

After the attendance, the teacher began the class.

Lu Li ignored the gazes and sat up straight, appearing very focused.

As soon as the bell rang, the whole class seemed to wake up suddenly, and they instantly surrounded Lu Li at his seat.

"Brother Lu, that move of yours, 'Heavenly Flying Immortal,' was so cool."

"What 'Heavenly Flying Immortal'? It was clearly the 'Foshan Shadowless Kick.'"

"Master, you must take me as your disciple, I want to learn martial arts."

...

"Lu Li, you're so handsome."

"Sign this for me, from now on, you're my idol."

...

The boys in the class looked at him with admiration, and some shamelessly asked to be his disciples. The girls were even more enthusiastic, speaking softly and throwing flirtatious glances, almost ready to drag him to a love hotel and start a relationship.

Class representative Shen Muqing silently watched all this, her eyes filled with a hint of sadness.

She had liked Lu Li the most, but she had never dared to confess, and Lu Li had never accepted her. Now that Lu Li had become even more outstanding, the distance between them seemed to grow even wider.

In twenty years, Lu Li had never experienced such a situation. Feeling several girls constantly brushing against him, the various fragrances wafting around, his face turned red.

"Move, move, I need to pee."

If this continued, he would definitely make a fool of himself. He quickly pushed through the crowd, not even bothering to take his textbooks, and fled in a panic.

Zhang Jian pouted in dissatisfaction, sighing, "I'm handsomer, more talented, and gentler than him, so why does no one treat me like this?" After saying that, he picked up Lu Li's textbooks and left the classroom with his girlfriend's beating.

In the last class of the afternoon, as soon as the bell rang, Lu Li darted out of the classroom like a frightened rabbit.

He had been tormented all day, surrounded by classmates during breaks, receiving notes on the way, and even being approached in the toilet. It was a complete disaster.

"A bunch of bastards, can't we have a peaceful day?"

Just as he ran out of the teaching building, Lu Li cursed, and his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and was somewhat surprised.

As soon as he answered the phone, Lu Fang's anxious voice came through, "Lu Li, where are you?"

"I'm at school."

"That's good, that's good. We're driving over, come to the school gate quickly."

"What happened?" Lu Li frowned, puzzled.

"Jiajia had an accident last night and fell into a coma this morning. She hasn't woken up yet." Lu Fang's voice was already tinged with sobs.

Lu Li was shocked, "That's impossible. I read her face, and the most she would have is a bit of bleeding; it couldn't lead to a coma."

He was very clear about his ability to read faces, inherited from a famous master. Even though he hadn't studied it seriously back then, it was still formidable. Moreover, such a small issue was almost impossible to get wrong. However, he also knew that Lu Fang wouldn't lie, so he hung up the phone and hurried to the school gate.

Soon, a Maybach slowly stopped, and Lu Fang pushed open the car door, waving to Lu Li, "Lu Li, over here."

"Sister Lu, what exactly happened?"

Lu Fang's eyes were red, and there were traces of tears at the corners. She was already a bit flustered.

Hearing Lu Li's question, she explained, "After listening to your advice, Jiajia didn't go out. Yesterday, while I and Zhongtian were at work, the nanny couldn't resist her and took her for a walk in the neighborhood. Suddenly, a wild cat appeared, and Jiajia was frightened. She had a high fever that night. We didn't take it seriously at first, but this morning we found her in a coma."

"A wild cat?"

Lu Li's brows furrowed, and his eyes showed a hint of thought.

Cats are quite eerie creatures. In Western magical legends, cats are used as sacrificial offerings for spells and even connect to the underworld. In ancient China, there are also legends of cats causing harm.

However, he had never encountered a situation where a wild cat caused a coma, so it was more likely to be a legend.

Moreover, in the techniques he had learned from the Celestial Master, there were no examples of wild cats causing harm.

Seeing Lu Li's serious expression, Lu Fang became even more afraid, her hands gripping tighter, and tears were about to fall.

"Don't worry, there are many reasons for a coma, and it doesn't necessarily come from anywhere. Last time, I didn't take Jiajia's pulse, so it might be a physical issue." Lu Li comforted her and added, "Sister Lu, don't worry. If it's a disease, with my current medical skills, I can definitely cure it."

"Thank you, thank you."

Lu Fang regarded Lu Li as their last hope. They had already examined Jiajia early in the morning, and she was very healthy, with no signs of illness. Even the hospital director quietly told Liu Zhongtian that Jiajia might have a functional disorder and could only seek help from an old Chinese doctor or someone knowledgeable in this field, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.

The Maybach was low-key and luxurious, and the ride was almost vibration-free.

Lu Li closed his eyes to rest, his mind filled with various thoughts.

Treating a disease was easy; with his medical skills, it was simple to cure. What he feared was encountering evil spirits.

Whether it was drawing talismans or catching ghosts, without a certain level of strength, going there would be a death sentence. Moreover, he hadn't opened his Heavenly Eye, so he couldn't see the yin energy, making him like a blind man. Even if he knew the cause, he probably wouldn't be able to act.

When he became a Celestial Master, Lu Li's master opened his Heavenly Eye as soon as he became a disciple, and he had to cultivate for ten years before he could venture out into the world. Even then, he faced numerous crises and nearly lost his life. How much more dangerous would it be now?

Of course, this was the worst-case scenario.

After all, the current world lacked primordial energy, and the cultivation world was almost unheard of. Even if there were evil entities, they probably wouldn't be very strong.

As Lu Li pondered, the Maybach turned off the main road, stopped at the entrance of a luxurious residential area, and then directly entered, stopping in front of a villa.

"Lu Li, I'm counting on you this time."
