Chapter 6

When Lu Chuan opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright.

After being drenched in the rain for so long yesterday and not catching a cold, he couldn't help but marvel at how strong his body had become after crossing over.

Lu Chuan got dressed and pushed open the door. After taking a few steps, he saw He Changge leaning against a pillar, munching on a bun, while watching a middle-aged man and Jiang Mo practicing Tai Chi in the front yard.

"Good morning," He Changge noticed him and greeted him.

The two people in the yard stopped their movements at the sound and turned to look. Jiang Mo glanced at Lu Chuan and then walked away, while the middle-aged man also stopped and turned to face him.

Damn, what a handsome uncle, is this Wu彦祖 (Wu彦祖, a famous Chinese actor)?

His athletic build was accentuated by his tight-fitting clothes, and his handsome features and sharp eyes made him look intimidating. His expressionless face made him a serious and handsome older man.

Lu Chuan sighed inwardly. The people who crossed over to this world were all blessed with good looks. Among the three people he knew, himself, He Changge, and the Jiang uncle in front of him, all were exceptionally handsome.

"Uncle Jiang, good morning." Lu Chuan instinctively stood up straight.

"I heard from Xiao He that you went to college, an undergraduate?" Uncle Jiang looked at Lu Chuan, making him feel a bit uncomfortable.

Sure enough, after the HR interview yesterday, it was the CEO's turn today?

"Yes, Uncle Jiang, I graduated from Jiangsu Zhejiang University of Commerce, majoring in Business Administration, and it's been two years since I graduated."

Uncle Jiang walked over to Lu Chuan, kicking He Changge as he passed, making He Changge stand up straight.

"Good. Have you joined the Party?" Uncle Jiang asked seriously as he stood in front of Lu Chuan.

"Yes, I joined the Party in college."

"Then welcome, Comrade Xiao Lu." Uncle Jiang extended his right hand to Lu Chuan.

"Ah?" Lu Chuan was stunned. Was the CEO's interview so casual, ending in just a few words?

"I can't judge a person by just one meeting, so I'm willing to trust the Party's judgment. My name is Jiang Tao, you can call me Lao Jiang like Xiao He."

Jiang Tao waved his extended hand and said again, "Welcome, Comrade Xiao Lu."

"Thank you, Comrade Lao Jiang." Lu Chuan hurriedly extended his hand and shook Lao Jiang's.

...

Stepping into the main room of the courtyard, Lu Chuan saw a casual plaque with the words "Haokong Sect" written on it. This room was likely the true sect.

Lu Chuan met He Changge's Aunt Li for the first time, further confirming his judgment. The people who crossed over were indeed blessed with good looks. Aunt Li looked like a female celebrity in casual clothes, and Lu Chuan found it hard to call her "Aunt."

Aunt Li's name was Li Qian. When they entered the room, she brought breakfast for Lu Chuan and then sat down next to him, chatting about family matters. Where was Lu Chuan from, had he ever had a girlfriend, how was he adapting to this new world, and had he suffered a lot?

"Cough, let's get to the main topic, I have things to do at the academy later." Lao Jiang couldn't help but interrupt Li Qian's chatter. She had even asked about whether Jay Chou had released any new songs in recent years and asked Lu Chuan to sing a few lines of "Balloon Confession."

"What, what you're talking about is the main topic, and what I'm talking about is just small talk?" Li Qian shot back at Lao Jiang but stopped talking.

Lao Jiang didn't respond, looking at Lu Chuan and saying, "Xiao Lu, let's talk about the arrangements for you. This is probably what you're most concerned about."

Lao Jiang spoke like a leader in a company, and Lu Chuan instinctively sat up straight, moving his right hand to find a notebook to take notes, only to realize he didn't have one.

"You've seen that our sect is called Haokong Sect. In Wuguo, it's just a small, insignificant sect. Including you, there are only five of us. Outside the sect, I, Qianqian, and Xiao He are all teachers at Beining Academy."

"In the future, you will be my new disciple, and Xiao He will be your senior. At home, we don't have to be so formal, you can call us casually."

"Later, I will take you to the academy. Remember to keep your secrets hidden there. After spending some time at the academy, once you have gained some strength and a better understanding of this world, you can choose your own path."

Lu Chuan was ready to kowtow and become a disciple, but it seemed Lao Jiang didn't really intend to take him as a disciple.

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang." Lu Chuan hurriedly thanked him. Taking him in was a risky thing, and the few fellow countrymen he had met in this world had all brought him warmth.

"To be honest, I'm not very impressed with you. Although Old Zhao has parted ways with us, he's not an unreasonable person." After Lu Chuan expressed his gratitude, Lao Jiang's expression became even more serious.

"Zhao Wuya is not a good person. He's still keeping a harem in Jingguo at his age, disgusting." Li Qian shot back at Lao Jiang.

"Qianqian, let's get to the main topic. Xiao Lu, you haven't practiced before, so the fact that you attracted Old Zhao must be because of your special ability, which you young people call a 'cheat,' right?" Lao Jiang turned to He Changge, who nodded repeatedly.

"So I need to know how you did it, and I need to confirm that there won't be any more accidents like this one."

"Definitely not, this was really a misunderstanding." Lu Chuan nodded quickly, then briefly introduced his cheat and the incident where he had used it to divine whether the top expert in the world was male or female.

He understood Lao Jiang's requirements. According to Lao Jiang's plan, he would live with everyone in Wuguo for a while. No one wanted a time bomb around.

"The top expert in the world? Not necessarily." Jiang Tao listened to Lu Chuan's explanation and fell into thought.

If what Lu Chuan said was true, then attracting Zhao Wuya was indeed an accident. He was very interested in the cheat Lu Chuan described, which was both special and useful.

"Since you've spoken up, I won't hide anything from you. My special ability is the Demon-Breaking Hand, which can break any spell when used."

"Lao Jiang's cheat is both offensive and defensive, making him invincible in close combat, basically one punch per person." He Changge added, "My cheat is also combat-oriented. Have you read 'The Seven' series? Headmaster Ang, Time Zero, where the flow of time around you slows down, but it doesn't affect me."

"By the way, Lu Chuan, has the author finished writing 'The Seven' series? Did Hui Liyi come back to life?"

Lu Chuan was amazed. He could imagine Lao Jiang's Demon-Breaking Hand, and he had seen He Changge's Time Zero in action last night. Raindrops couldn't even touch him, no wonder he could suddenly appear and catch a flying arrow.

"Not yet, the later parts didn't go well with readers and were heavily criticized." Lu Chuan answered He Changge's question. Lucky He Changge, he had crossed over after finishing the third book, and the fourth and fifth books were better left unread.

"My cheat is a control type, forcing a target to stay in place, and neither the target nor I can move." Li Qian briefly introduced her cheat, and Lu Chuan immediately imagined her and Lao Jiang working together, one controlling and the other eliminating the target. That was too ruthless.

"Xiao Lu, you haven't used your cheat today, right?" Li Qian smiled and stared at Lu Chuan.

"Help me with a favor. I want to know if Jiang Tao has ever liked a woman named Wu Lihua."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and Lu Chuan instinctively looked up at Lao Jiang and He Changge.

He Changge obediently leaned against the chair, as if he hadn't heard anything, holding a jade phone devoutly and looking at it with a focused expression, as if he were looking at a pornographic image.

"Cough, my class is about to start. Xiao Lu, follow me, I'll take you to register." Lao Jiang stood up with a serious face and walked out quickly.

"Uh, I have a class too, goodbye, Mother-in-law." He Changge's voice reached Lu Chuan's ears, but he was already gone. Lu Chuan suspected he had used Time Zero to escape.

"Humph! A scumbag with a guilty conscience. Xiao Lu, don't run, we all have to go to the academy."

Lu Chuan looked at the gritting Mother-in-law and felt a sense of unease. Could it be that the use of my cheat is to catch people cheating?
