Prodigal System in the Flourishing City
Chapter 954 - 952: Stirring Up Troubled Waters
CHAPTER 954: CHAPTER 952: STIRRING UP TROUBLED WATERS
Lu Xiaobu finished his grand speech, leaving the place in silence. Everyone’s mouth twitched, but they couldn’t find words to respond!
Do you think Lu Xiaobu is wrong?
Wrong? He’s too right!
However, those are theories for a normal society, but this is a Jianghu Order meeting. Can you still use normal society’s theories?
Yet, Lu Xiaobu brought out the court system. How do you argue with him?
This is what they call the stubborn being right, and the wise having their reason, but what’s important is who can outshout the other!
The shouting isn’t just about volume, it’s more about momentum!
Just like when two shrews argue; in the absence of justification, the louder one with stronger momentum will definitely win!
Even when both sides have justification, it’s still the same!
Originally, when the Jianghu Order was set up, everyone involved were Jianghu elites, with three grandmasters and the four major families of the Imperial Capital, they should have had both the momentum and voice!
But, the saying goes: First it goes fierce, then wanes, and finally, it exhausts!
After being hit repeatedly by Lu Xiaobu, from throwing away invitations, kicking them out of the venue, to entering Lu Xiaobu’s territory, these consecutive actions left them speechless and humiliated.
Their momentum had long been suppressed completely in an intangible way!
Now, as Lu Xiaobu, sitting at the host seat, brings out the rules of real society, they are at a loss for how to counter!
They can’t overpower him!
The three grandmasters exchanged a subtle glance, all nodding slightly.
Being able to play all of Japan and openly set fire to Jingguo Shrine, this kid is indeed no ordinary person!
Though they were among those mocked this time.
But after learning about it yesterday, they didn’t hold much resentment in their hearts.
After all, it’s like martial arts, you can’t disallow an opponent to counter just because your status is high!
As for the remaining people, they looked at each other, then glanced towards the three grandmasters.
The three grandmasters didn’t respond to their gazes, looking attentively at what was before them.
Lu Xiaobu, seeing this, rolled his eyes and beckoned Su Luoxue: "Go offer some tea to the three grandmasters, the same as what I’m drinking."
He wouldn’t prepare the best tea for guests, so he drank the finest himself!
"Alright!" Su Luoxue nodded, and went out. Shortly after, she returned with three cups of tea to place before the three grandmasters, silently.
The three grandmasters glanced at each other, feeling a warmth inside.
This Lu Xiaobu sure knows how to treat people, quite remarkable!
As the three of them pondered how to handle the situation, the tea solved the problem.
Thus, the three picked up their tea, sipping leisurely!
The meaning was clear: We are the judges in the end, not the decision-makers, so find a way to resolve this yourselves!
Don’t think these three cups of tea are useless.
They are very effective; without tea, the three would be as if sitting idly, for they absolutely couldn’t say "We don’t care," in such circumstances.
Yet, they wanted to express this thought, and needed a prop!
Seeing this, everyone understood and could only helplessly turn their gaze to Xue Changzhi.
The Xue Family, as hosts, are among the four major families of the Imperial Capital, the face of Jianghu, the three grandmasters kept silent, but he had to speak!
Seeing everyone’s gaze, Xue Changzhi started sweating coldly!
Damn it, why are you looking at me?!
Want me to decide?!
I’m not dumb!
But at this moment, he didn’t know what to do and panicked thoroughly!
Lu Xiaobu chuckled softly, and beckoned Zhang Meng: "Go, step outside and give Xue Kun a slap, with some force!"
Xue Kun and Xue Lin were outside, they hadn’t come in.
"Yes!" Zhang Meng nodded.
Arriving at the door, Xue Lin and Xue Kun approached: "How is it!?"
Then, Zhang Meng without a word slapped him directly.
"Smack!"
A crisp and loud sound.
"Why did you hit me?!" Xue Kun roared instantly!
He kindly wanted to understand the situation, and got slapped directly?!
No way to play like this!
At this moment, Xue Changzhi inside the room heard it, had a sudden flash of inspiration, feigned rage, and shouted: "Who dares hit my son?! Absurdity!"
Then burst out the door.
Outside, Xue Changzhi patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the aggrieved Xue Kun, shouted: "Alright, this slap was well earned!"
"I got hit and you’re happy, I must be adopted!" Xue Kun said unhappily.
At this moment, Xue Lin looked at Xue Changzhi, suddenly understanding, smiled, and said to Xue Kun: "Brother, it’s true that this slap is worth it!"
This slap was beautiful!
With just one slap, the Xue Family jumped out from the chaotic situation, no longer involved.
Now, regardless of who wins or loses, they can’t blame the Xue Family.
The Xue Family made no losses whatsoever!
In the room, the three grandmasters exchanged glances again.
Impressive!
This Lu Xiaobu is really impressive!
In mere manipulation of the situation, the three combined are no match for this Lu Xiaobu!
Just those two moves seemed to extricate them, allowing them to maintain fairness and impartiality.
In reality, wasn’t this also Lu Xiaobu further controlling the situation!
The biggest players here were the three of them and the Xue Family, yet all were easily made outsiders by Lu Xiaobu!
Now, Lu Xiaobu’s enemies were reduced from the entire Jianghu Order to only the Lu Family and his faction members!
And, those not part of the Lu Family faction would also wonder why the grandmasters and Xue Family wouldn’t face Lu Xiaobu directly, even taking the opportunity he granted!
When it was just the grandmasters, people wouldn’t care.
But now the Xue Family does so too, it has to make people think!
Ling Xiaozi snorted slightly with some annoyance – This Lu Xiaobu is too cunning, letting themselves be calculated unknowingly!
Wu Weizi smiled silently.
Master Zhi Xing lightly chanted the Buddha’s name: "Amitabha."
No wonder he could speak such profound words of Buddhism, indeed, this benefactor Lu is a man of great wisdom!
As they expected, now the crowd’s gazes started shifting.
Especially those who had originally been instructed by Lin Feng.
They had decided not to do Lin Feng any favors, but now, they hesitated again!
If the three grandmasters and Xue Family favor Lu Xiaobu, and they oppose Lu Xiaobu, then they would only have pleased a worthless Lu Family, offending everyone else!
It would be utterly unprofitable!
So, how to act, they started reconsidering!
In this way, the mighty and aggressive Jianghu Order filled with danger was forcibly stirred into muddy waters by Lu Xiaobu!
