Forbidden Zone of the Human Race

Once they ordered, Xiang Ning and his sister talked about some random stuff.

Fang Rou arrived ten minutes later.

“Wow, this is rare. I think this is the first time you’ve invited me for dinner?” Fang Rou smiled.

“I wanted to thank you for accompanying my sister today. Please join us.” Xiang Ning smiled in return.

Today, Fang Rou wore a full-length skirt. It was such a different style compared to what she normally wore. If her usual look was an athletic girl style, she was now the distinguished daughter of a noble.

“I’ve always wanted to play with her. How about you? It must’ve been hard for you today.” She mysteriously smiled, but didn’t elaborate further. The waitress saw that everyone had arrived so she ordered the food to be plated up.

As for Xiang Ning, he didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. Does everyone know about it? But since Fang Rou wasn’t saying anything, neither did he. Xiang Xiaoyu was still there, so there was no reason to make her worry.

They had a wonderful dinner as Fang Rou and Xiang Xiaoyu got friendlier to each other. Xiang Ning was happy to see that both of them were having fun. Their dinner lasted for an hour as they were talking and having fun. It had been a while since Xiang Ning had seen his sister laugh so much.

“I need to go to the toilet, please excuse me.” As she said that, Xiang Xiaoyu quickly left.

Fang Rou didn’t say anything for the first few seconds. She opened her mouth only after Xiang Xiaoyu had been gone for ten seconds. “I already know what happened in Fortress Three. That was too dangerous, why did you do that? We’ll be going in three months anyway, was this really because of Wu Rui?”

This time, it was Xiang Ning's turn to remain silent. He didn’t want to lie to the people he loved the most, but it was something he couldn’t tell them either.

“Sorry.” He could only apologize.

“Fine, but don’t do anything that would make your sister sad. You’re her only relative,” Fang Rou quietly said.

After dinner, the three of them paid the bill. A handsome man with sunglasses suddenly approached them.

“Uncle Zhang, sorry for making you wait for so long.” Fang Rou smiled as she said this.

“Uncle Zhang?” Xiang Ning looked at him. He looked like he was twenty-something.

“You must be Xiang Ning from Qiling Academy? I’ve always wanted to get to know a young hero like you,” Uncle Zhang chuckled.

Xiang Ning shyly scratched his head. While he had earned some recognition, it was still embarrassing to be praised like this.

Fang Rou softly whispered to Xiang Ning, “He’s my father’s aide, a tier six martial artist. He’s almost forty years old, even though he looks so young.”

Xiang Ning almost couldn’t believe what he had heard. A tier six martial artist who was forty years old?!

Uncle Zhang paid no heed as he lovingly looked at his precious niece.

“It’s time to head back. Please join us, both of you,” Uncle Zhang invited.

“Oh, no need.” Xiang Ning waved his hand as he turned him down.

Uncle Zhang was satisfied by Xiang Ning and how honest he was. “The last bus already left, no need to feel embarrassed.” He felt that Xiang Ning might be declining because he was imposing on them.

When Xiang Ning had singlehandedly fought against Hanwu Academy and gotten so close to Fang Rou, he’d already done a background check on him. An orphan who survived with his sister. Before entering Qiling Academy, they were honest children who didn't like to impose on others.

Xiang Ning scratched his nose in embarrassment and said, “Thank you for your kind invitation, but we came here on my bike.”

“I see, then please do take care on the way back,” Uncle Zhang replied as opened his car door for Fang Rou to enter. Shortly after both of them took off.

Xiang Ning turned to his Windbreaker when he saw the car speeding off into the darkness of night. “Let’s go home.”

......

Fang Rou was feeling a bit unhappy in the car. Uncle Zhang saw her and asked in a mischievous tone, “Fang Rou, why do you look so unhappy?”

“No, I’m very happy. Uncle Zhang, did you know that the dinner was delicious?” She sat up and flashed a smile.

“Haha, don’t try to act in front of me. I’ve already lived for so long, I already saw that you’re in love with him. He isn’t a bad guy, you should just go for it. Don’t let other girls steal him,” Uncle Zhang happily laughed. Her father had also approved of it.

“Uncle Zhang!” She covered her head in embarrassment.

“Sure, sure~ Do as you like.”

......

Back at home, Xiang Ning ushered his sister into their house. As he stood by the roadside looking at the tunnel, he tried calling his master.

The call soon connected and he put on a serious tone. “Master, it’s already late. I think.…”

“Hoho.”

With just a chuckle, Xiang Ning knew that he couldn’t escape. “I’ll be there immediately.”

I just went and killed some beasts for humanity. No, I can’t be such a loser. I have eighty thousand Fury Points! I can make them think differently! With that, he went to the lab.

Just five minutes later, he thought it would be better to keep a low profile when he saw Lei Zhongyuan cracking his knuckles.

“Hey, where are you going? Weren’t you keen on learning some combat and martial techniques? Come, let me teach you.” Lei Zhongyuan gripped Xiang Ning’s arm and dragged him into the sparring room.

“Wait!” Xiang Ning shouted.

Lei Zhongyuan grinned devilishly. “So, any last words?”

“Please don’t hit my face…” Xiang Ning said.

“Heh.”

The door to the sparring room closed behind them.
