When the sun shone into the room from outside, Lu Tianxing had already woken up. Early in the morning, he went to the small lake by the villa. As he approached, he saw Jiang Liufeng sitting in the pavilion with his hands behind his back. A teapot was placed in front of him, with steam rising from the teacup.

Jiang Liufeng was sitting with his back to Lu Tianxing, staring at the ripples on the lake, lost in thought.

Upon hearing footsteps behind him, Jiang Liufeng turned around. Seeing Lu Tianxing approaching, he immediately waved to him, "Tianxing, you’re here."

"Grandfather!"

Hearing Jiang Liufeng’s words, Lu Tianxing immediately greeted him and walked over with big strides.

"Sit!"

Jiang Liufeng gestured for Lu Tianxing to sit down, picked up a teacup, and poured Lu Tianxing a cup of tea. "Tianxing, how did it go? Did you discover anything last night? Who is the mastermind behind this?"

"The Tang Family and the Yang Family."

Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, "The person who schemed against me this time is the Young Master of the Tang Family, Tang Qingyun, and the Yang Family is also involved. Moreover, during my last trip to Eagle Country, they also leaked my information. And the person behind the Qingtian Alliance is Tang Qingyun."

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Jiang Liufeng frowned slightly. "Tianxing, are you sure what you’re saying is true? What if someone set up the Tang Family and the Yang Family to make you fall out with them, allowing them to reap the benefits? That would only harm you without any benefit."

"I know."

Lu Tianxing nodded lightly, taking a deep breath. "But, Grandfather, no matter what, I have to make a trip to Beijing this time."

"To Beijing?"

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Jiang Liufeng’s frown deepened. In China, Lu Tianxing could go anywhere, but there was one place he absolutely must not go, at least not now, and that place was Beijing.

To Lu Tianxing, Beijing is like a dragon’s lair and a tiger’s den. Countless hidden hands might be plotting against him. If he dares to step into Beijing now, and if the Yang Family Ancestor, Yang Fengxing, decides to act, Lu Tianxing would be dead without a doubt. No one could save him, not even with the strength to deal with the Late Stage of Mythical, encountering Yang Fengxing would lead to certain death.

Thinking of this, Jiang Liufeng looked seriously at Lu Tianxing and said solemnly, "Tianxing, you should know that you are already a threat to the Tang Family and the Yang Family. You are enough to make them take you seriously. If you step into Beijing, the dangers around you will be more than this trip to Beijing. And Beijing is full of hidden threats; there might be invisible hands in the shadows waiting to harm you, so you need to consider this carefully."

"Grandfather, I know Beijing is very dangerous, but I have to go on this trip to the capital no matter what," Lu Tianxing said firmly.

He didn’t know why the Mu Family wanted to marry Mu Qingxue into the Tang Family, nor did he know whether Mu Qingxue was willing or not. But Lu Tianxing understood in his heart that Mu Qingxue was his woman, and she would be his woman for life. No matter what, he had to make a trip to Beijing to bring Mu Qingxue back. Otherwise, he would regret it for a lifetime.

If a man can’t even ensure his woman’s happiness, what kind of man is he?

"What’s the reason?"

Jiang Liufeng asked solemnly, "If you don’t give me a suitable reason, I absolutely won’t allow you to risk going to Beijing."

Jiang Liufeng’s tone left no room for discussion, even carrying an undeniable resolve. This trip to Beijing could be even more perilous than the trip to Eagle Country. In his heart, he hoped to see Lu Tianxing transformed from a fledgling into a soaring eagle through trials, but there’s a difference between trials and seeking death.

And going to Beijing would be courting death for Lu Tianxing.

Hearing his grandfather’s words and looking at his solemn face, Lu Tianxing opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and said, "Grandfather, I know you’re doing this for my good, out of concern for me. But I have an unavoidable reason for going to Beijing this time. Even if there are dangers ahead, I must face them."

"Give me a reason," Jiang Liufeng said calmly, looking at Lu Tianxing.

"I need to visit the Mu Family," Lu Tianxing replied, looking at Jiang Liufeng and speaking slowly.

"Is it because of the Mu Family’s little princess, Mu Qingxue?"

"Yes!"

Lu Tianxing nodded lightly and said firmly, "So this trip to the capital is one I must make, no matter how many dangers lie in wait. This trip is unavoidable."

Listening to Lu Tianxing’s unwavering tone, Jiang Liufeng didn’t say another word but fell into silence, lost in thought.

After a long while, Jiang Liufeng slowly opened his mouth, "Since you have decided, then go ahead! If you need anything, just say it. As long as Grandfather can help, don’t hesitate to ask, and Grandfather will do his best to assist you."

"Thank you, Grandfather."

Lu Tianxing nodded lightly.

"Silly kid, I’m your grandfather, who else would I help if not you?"

Jiang Liufeng gave Lu Tianxing a warm smile and said, "Alright, let’s not talk about these things early in the morning, have some tea."

Lu Tianxing smiled and, without saying anything more, raised the teacup in front of him to leisurely enjoy the tea, admiring the surrounding scenery. Lu Tianxing didn’t remain in the pavilion for long and soon left.

Watching Lu Tianxing’s departing figure, the faint smile on Jiang Liufeng’s face gradually disappeared, replaced by a thoughtful expression.

Moments later, Cangwu walked in from outside, and upon seeing Jiang Liufeng, immediately said, "Master..."

"Cangwu, you’re here just in time."

Upon seeing Cangwu approaching, Jiang Liufeng immediately interrupted him, "Cangwu, I want you to keep an eye on changes in Beijing recently. Have the Tang Family and the Yang Family shown any activity? Have they secretly contacted anyone?"

Upon hearing Jiang Liufeng’s words, Cangwu immediately responded, "Master, do you mean that there’s a connection between the schemes against young master on Qin Island and the Tang Family and the Yang Family?"

"Yes, you’re right."

Jiang Liufeng nodded slightly, not hiding anything from Cangwu and explained the situation.
