CHAPTER 33: CHAPTER 33: YOUR PAVILION MASTER IS QUITE COOPERATIVE

After Zhai Tianmin’s surgery, Chen Fei’s condition had basically stabilized.

She had just lost a significant amount of blood, and with a few days of rest, she would naturally recover.

"Sis, do you think Mr. Lu has already gone to Pingshan Village?" In the villa’s living room, Chen Han paced back and forth, his face etched with worry.

I never should’ve told Mr. Lu the location of the White Clothes Pavilion headquarters.

"The likelihood is high," Chen Fei nodded in agreement.

Given Mr. Lu’s capabilities and temperament, he’d probably go straight in.

"Xiao Han, you set off for Pingshan Village now."

"Remember, don’t act rashly, observe more, use your head, and contact me immediately if anything arises." After a few seconds of thought, Chen Fei still decided to send her brother, hoping he could help even just a little.

"Alright, sis!" Chen Han immediately nodded, grabbing the car keys and ready to leave.

However, before Chen Han could step out, the front door creaked open.

Hu Sheng stepped through the entrance.

"Xiao Han, run!" Upon seeing Hu Sheng, Chen Fei let out a piercing scream and, ignoring the tearing pain from her wound, got up, knife in hand, ready to fight.

"Sis, you go first, I’ll handle this!"

Chen Han moved in front of Chen Fei in a flash.

However, Chen Han’s eyes were filled with a mix of helplessness and despair.

Today, neither he nor his sister would likely get away—the man before them was Hu Sheng.

One of the two strongest members of the White Clothes Pavilion.

Even if his sister were unhurt, together they would still stand no chance against Hu Sheng.

Maybe... they would be dead within three moves.

"Was it Lu Xiao who killed Dou Haichuan?"

"Whoever tells me where Lu Xiao is, gets to live," Hu Sheng said coldly.

Upon hearing these words, Chen Han was stunned for half a second.

Live, huh?

My life was given by Mr. Lu, and so was my sister’s, and now you want me to betray Mr. Lu to survive?

What kind of man do you think Chen Han is!

"Dou Haichuan got what he deserved from me, I personally slit his throat," Chen Han declared.

"Come on, Mr. Hu, if you dare, kill me! If I beg for mercy even once, I’ll be your grandson!" Chen Han’s gaze was resolute.

Hu Sheng raised an eyebrow, not unworthy of a man whom Major Lu had taken a liking to, their loyalty was unquestionable.

A smile crept across Hu Sheng’s face, just as he was about to explain, he received a kick to the rear and flew forward.

Without guessing, it was definitely Lu Xiao.

"In the time it took to park the car, you really know how to stir things up," Lu Xiao said as he glanced at Hu Sheng sprawled on the ground.

Hu Sheng scrambled to his feet, "I’m sorry, sir, it was just a small test."

Chen Fei and Chen Han were both dumbstruck. What was all of this about?

"Mr. Lu, what the hell is going on here?" Chen Han couldn’t help but ask.

Wasn’t Hu Sheng always by the Pavilion Master’s side to protect him? Why did he come with Mr. Lu?

And Hu Sheng’s reverence for Mr. Lu, it even seemed a bit too subordinate.

"Oh, didn’t you say the White Clothes Pavilion headquarters were in Pingshan Village? So I went," said Lu Xiao casually.

"I killed He Chong, gave Hu Sheng a beating, and then your Pavilion Master was quite cooperative," Lu Xiao shrugged.

Chen Fei and Chen Han’s facial muscles twitched at the same time.

He had battered Pingshan Village and killed He Chong.

Was it really so outrageous?

There had to be at least five or six hundred people stationed in the entire Pingshan Village.

Could they all not stop Mr. Lu?

"By the way, Chen Fei, take this," Lu Xiao handed over a black token, "From now on, you’ll take over Dou Haichuan’s position as Hall Master."

Looking at the token in her hand, Chen Fei felt dazed.

It all seemed very casual.

"But Mr. Lu, the White Clothes Pavilion has a rule; a Hall Master must withstand three moves from two Divine List martial artists, I might not be capable," Chen Fei murmured.

"White Clothes Pavilion has this rule?" Lu Xiao looked at Hu Sheng.

Hu Sheng nodded.

"Alright, then don’t move, Chen Fei, go hit Hu Sheng with three punches," instructed Lu Xiao.

Chen Fei blinked; could things really be handled this way?

Hu Sheng was feeling rather indignant. After all, he was a disciple of Miao Qidao, and his power could be ranked in the top hundred of the Divine List.

Eventually, Chen Fei landed three soft punches on Hu Sheng’s chest, and Hu Sheng didn’t move.

Once Hu Sheng was settled, Lu Xiao left.

He had to investigate his own origins, and Qin Youling’s jade pendant was a significant breakthrough point.

Once Old Qin woke up, he should be able to find out something.

...

An hour later, Lu Xiao entered the Qin Family Old Mansion.

Condolence banners were hung all around the house, and rows of wreaths were placed.

Inside the courtyard, people came and went to pay their respects.

On seeing Lu Xiao, the crowd began to whisper amongst themselves.

"Is that the Qin Family’s son-in-law who just walked in?"

"I heard Qin Youling picked him up randomly from a bar."

"Didn’t he slap Qin Kai in the face before? And he’s still hopping around happily?"

"An idiot. With the Qin Family’s undercurrents of power struggles, running away would be the wise choice."

Lu Xiao paid no mind to the rumors and slander from these people.

They felt brave only because they were in a large crowd, but not one of them would dare make a peep if they were to face him directly.

Passing through the front hall, a mourning hall was set in the center of the main courtyard.

The mourning hall was crowded with people, and the sound of grieving intermittently echoed from within.

Lu Xiao took three sticks of incense from the side burner and squeezed into the crowd.

Inside, members of the Qin Family were all dressed in white mourning attire; some stood playing with their phones, others sat chatting idly.

Only the wife and son of Qin Shengqiang sat by the coffin, their eyes red and swollen.

Suddenly, Lu Xiao spotted Qin Youling in the crowd.

Just as he was about to approach her, Lu Xiao noticed the man beside Qin Youling.

Xu Tian?

This kid really was relentless.

We’d even shown our marriage certificate that day, and he still hadn’t given up?

Though my marriage to Qin Youling is a contract, you can’t be cornering my wife in front of so many people.

Does Lu Xiao look like he has no dignity?

Lu Xiao dropped the incense he was holding and made his way straight towards Qin Youling.
