Chapter 53 Layer Cake
At night, Manye Town is brightly lit.

The Lu family's invitations were sent out early, and the entire Manye Town was packed with distinguished guests and big names, which made everyone in the Lu family very busy. The Lu family started planning for the old man's 60th birthday half a year in advance, but they didn't expect that an adopted son would show up halfway and disrupt everyone's plans.

"Brother, how could my uncle adopt the son of a criminal? Wouldn't this ruin the reputation of the Lu family?" Lu Yilin was wearing a gorgeous and exquisite dress, like a peacock parading through the city with its colorful tail spread out.

"This is something that Mr. Lu decided. It is not your turn or mine to comment. The son of a sinner is just an insignificant identity. As the head of security in the Magic City, grandpa naturally understands this.

As for you, don't cause any trouble. The Lu family is big and powerful, so it's fine to raise a dog, but don't let outsiders laugh at our Lu family." Lu Zhantian glanced at Lu Yilin from the corner of his eyes. He didn't know what kind of person his younger brother was. He caused trouble everywhere, and he had to clean up his mess for him over the years.

"Brother, am I such a fool? I just want to see if this dog will bite anyone." Lu Yilin played with his expensive watch cynically. He didn't take his brother Lu Zhantian's words seriously. Could a dog really kill its owner?
"Don't go too far. Behind Bai Le stands Professor Luo from the Pearl Academy, the country's leading necromancer. You can make a small fuss, but if you make a big fuss, Grandpa won't tolerate you, and even your father may not be willing to speak for you.

If Professor Luo comes out to stand on the side of the Lu family, the situation of the four major families in the Magic City will soon change. If you have that mind, you might as well improve your magic skills. It’s not shameful to stay with women all day long, and don’t affect the development of the Lu family. "

Lu Zhantian once again warned Lu Yilin emphatically, trying to stop Lu Yilin from thinking about his little tricks.

Even if Bai Le joins the Lu family, he is still an outsider after all. The Lu family business will not be his. If his status in his grandfather's heart is lowered because of this, it will be a loss.

Luxury cars poured into Manye Town one after another, and the Lu family's banquet began.

······
The moonlight shines brightly, and the bustling Manye Town is decorated with lights and colors. It is already late autumn, but you can still see colorful flowers blooming in every corner of Manye Town, showing off their beauty under the moonlight.

The mission was completed smoothly. After taking away the mysterious ancient painting, the mist covering the manor dissipated in the blink of an eye. Bai Le took the ancient painting as a trophy and put it in his white jade ring.

Lingling, holding his lollipop in her mouth, was sent back to the Qingtian Hunting House by him. She smacked her lips from time to time in her sleep, and she looked like a pink and tender jelly with an attractive luster.

After sending Lingling back, Old Man Bao knew very little about ancient paintings, so after a thorough inspection he let him keep it with him.

He had some guesses about the origin of the ancient paintings, but they had not been confirmed yet.

Raising the red wine in his hand, Bai Le raised his head slightly and drank it all in one gulp, the cool taste running down his throat.

Bai Le stood on the terrace and looked up at the starry sky, letting his thoughts drift with the wind. In the distance, the skyscrapers of Magic City pierced into the sky, stealing the scattered starlight.

When my mind was full of complicated thoughts, I heard light footsteps behind me.

"So you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time."

Bai Le turned around and saw Mu Nujiao wearing an elegant black dress. The velvet fabric had a dull luster under the light.

"How did you come?"

"Patriarch Lu is holding a birthday party, so of course he invited the Mu family. As a junior, I naturally have to attend."

Mu Nujiao walked forward slowly and leaned lazily on the side.

"I didn't expect that the protagonist of this banquet would sneak away. The head of the Lu family actually announced you as his adopted son. The children of the noble families present, including the Lu family, were very surprised."

According to the original plan, Red Devil Lu Kun adopted him as his son, and then with the help of the Lu family's power, Old Man Lu personally came forward to adopt him as his son. This was something unexpected.

It was probably because he had lured Professor Luo to the banquet, and Professor Luo was accompanying Mr. Lu at the banquet with a look of despair.

"Did you receive the five million?"

Mu Nujiao was silent for a while and lowered her head. It was she who distributed the spirits, and it was she who suggested that Bai Le go to the Mu family. She only knew about the remittance of 5 million to Bai Le before attending the banquet. "I'm sorry, I didn't expect that someone in the family would do such a thing. I was wrong."

"Have you found out who gave you the drug?"

"Little Butterfly."

At first, she didn't believe this answer. Xiaodie, the harmless girl in the team who was well taken care of by everyone, could actually be the murderer who harmed her and had an affair with the Black Vatican.

"Where's Xu Huang?"

Bai Le was deeply impressed by the bearded captain of the Monster Hunting Team. He escaped from the ambush of Black Hat with his own strength and had profound cultivation. If Xiaodie was the murderer, Xu Huang would most likely be in great danger after the dam fell.

"Not long after we left, Xu Huang died due to his injuries aggravating. His body was not found after the dam collapsed."

Mu Nujiao's tone was heavy, and she felt even more guilty about what happened to Xu Huang.

At the corner of the terrace, Lu Yilin stood in the darkness, his eyes never leaving Mu Nujiao.

······
After a day of running around, Bai Le was massaging Ye Xinxia's feet to relax her.

The white stockings wrapped around the pink toes, and the torn threads at the toes made people want to find out more. Bai Le massaged the rosy white toes while studying the threads. Soon, the stockings on Ye Xinxia's feet were torn into pieces.

"Brother Bai Le, are Xinxia's socks fun?"

"It's OK, just barely."

"So, brother, do you want to eat Xinxia's feet?"

"Hiss~ This is not good." Bai Le held the jailer with hesitation on his face. He seriously thought about the philosophy of life and the sweetness of ice cream.

"You are really perverted, Brother Bai Le."

Bai Le put more force into his hands, constantly moving them to reward Xinxia for her outrageous words. He looked up inadvertently, only to find that raindrops were falling from the barren land outside the door again.

"Xinxia, ​​it's raining."

Although he couldn't fully eat Ye Xinxia, ​​Bai Le was still slowly savoring the sandwich cake named Ye Xinxia.

After removing the complicated packaging, the cake is exquisite and delicate. Use a fork to skim off the top layer of cream, and the rich filling will flow out.

······
After comforting Xinxia, ​​Bai Le's mental bottleneck seemed to loosen.

The third system of King Leng Lie is the space system, so there are a lot of resources for cultivating spiritual power in his space ring.

Bai Le took out a stone as big as a human head. The stone was silver and transparent, and was dotted with many lines like swirling nebulae.

His mental power has been stagnant for a long time, and he will be able to successfully break through to the second level tonight. With the help of the Mind Stone, his mental power will usher in a rapid leap. According to the teacher's message, when his mental power breaks through the third level, he will be able to initially master the balance of blood and soul and break through the second system of intermediate awakening.
