Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty

Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Kneel Down and Kowtow Three Times to Me

In the crowd, Xue Ke was unhappy.

All afternoon he had been preparing for the banquet, not having caught a glimpse of the Martial Arts Exchange.

You should know that the elites from all the major clans in Shengjing were present, with as many masters as there were beauties.

He had originally wanted to take a good look around.

"That table over there isn’t set straight, are you blind? Can’t you see it?"

"What are you staring at? Go move the wine."

"Where are the cleaning people? There are still bloodstains here that haven’t been cleaned up, are you idiots?"

Xue Ke was all fired up, and at this moment, even a passing dog might get slapped hard twice.

Facing Xue Ke’s scolding, the people of the Xue Clan dared not retort, considering his status.

That was the legitimate grandson of the Family Head, the Family Head was getting on in years, and after this Martial Arts Exchange, it was about time to choose a successor.

Xue Ke’s father, Xue Chengbin, had always performed well, and if Xue Chengbin succeeded, then Xue Ke would virtually be walking sideways in the Xue Clan.

So, he was untouchable.

"Haven’t seen you in a few days, and you’re still so hot-tempered," said Lu Xiao, who had also walked up behind Xue Ke, and chuckled.

Xue Ke instinctively turned around, and seeing Lu Xiao, he was shocked.

Fuck, it’s this asshole!

But quickly, a cruel smile crossed Xue Ke’s face.

Heaven offers you a path, yet you refuse; hell has no gate, yet you break in. You really should look around; this is my turf.

In Shengjing City, I might only beat you half to death, but in the Xue Clan, I can kill you outright!

"That look on your face, what, you want to kill me?" Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow and asked.

Xue Ke’s facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, then without holding back he said, "Yes, you can be sure that I won’t let you leave the Xue Clan alive."

Lu Xiao rolled his eyes, your Family Head just talked about the issues with the younger generation being ruthlessly competitive, and you didn’t listen at all, did you?

But it didn’t take long for Lu Xiao to think of another possibility, that Xue Ke wasn’t around for the whole Martial Arts Exchange.

Otherwise, Xue Ke should have known long ago about my arrival; I was hardly quiet in the Miao Family’s tent.

"Blood feuds are better settled than deepened, so how about we call off our grudge," Lu Xiao proposed after some thought.

He had come to find Xue Ke with a genuine intention to resolve their conflict.

After all, the relationship between the Xue Clan and Miao Family was good, and he had quite an appreciation for that old man Xue Qingsong.

Upon hearing Lu Xiao’s words, Xue Ke immediately sneered.

In Shengjing City you strutted around like you owned the place, and now you’re backing down? Keep talking tough to me!

"Kneel down and give me three loud kowtows, and maybe I’ll consider it," Xue Ke said with a cold laugh, thinking Lu Xiao was both foolish and naive.

Who do you think I am? One of those worthless scions of branch families?

My dad is Xue Chengbin, my grandfather is the Family Head of the Xue Clan, Xue Qingsong! You slapped me and ask to let it go as if nothing happened, you must be dreaming.

Lu Xiao frowned, then with some helplessness shook his head.

"Since you don’t accept my goodwill, then... suit yourself."

"But I still recommend you consult your father or grandfather before laying a hand on me."

"That’s all, see you around."

After speaking, Lu Xiao turned to leave.

"Did I say you could go?" Xue Ke quickly stepped forward, blocking Lu Xiao’s path.

Xue Ke also knew that making a move in the middle of the night was best; he could kill Lu Xiao without anyone noticing. But he no longer wanted to wait; he wanted Lu Xiao dead now.

"Step aside," said Lu Xiao indifferently as he glanced at Xue Ke.

You want to get yourself killed, I don’t care, but you better wait until after the banquet to do it.

I’m very hungry right now. For breakfast, I only had a bowl of porridge, and lunch was just sunflower seeds and snacks.

"Where are the Xue Clan guards!" The next second, Xue Ke suddenly shouted.

People quickly gathered around. In a few seconds, Lu Xiao and Xue Ke were surrounded by the Xue Clan guards.

People from the various clans at the scene also crowded in, peering inside.

"This man intended to tamper with the food."

"Take him into custody for now. We can interrogate him slowly after the Martial Arts Exchange ends!" With a slight upward curve of his lips, Xue Ke pointed at Lu Xiao.

As long as they had Lu Xiao under control, his life or death would be at their discretion.

The surrounding Xue Clan guards looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

The man Xue Ke was pointing at seemed to be from the Miao Family, and he seemed to have a high status within the Miao Family.

Though he had not entered the fight himself, Qidao’s battles were mostly planned according to his arrangements.

Moreover, the Miao and Xue clans have always had good relations. Capturing a member of the Miao clan directly could lead to a fallout.

Exacerbating matters, the Miao Family had Miao Qidao. Open hostility would likely be exceedingly disadvantageous to the Xue Clan.

"Young Master Xue Ke, this person is from the Miao Family. Are you... perhaps you could double-check?" The captain of the guards stepped forward to remind Xue Ke.

Xue Ke also paused. A member of the Miao Family?

But soon, Xue Ke laughed it off as if it didn’t matter. It was just someone from the Miao Family — what’s the big deal?

The Miao Family had its moments of glory, but those were old stories. If he remembered correctly, at the last Martial Arts Exchange, they ranked third from last.

For such a weak clan, even if they were on good terms with the Xue Clan, so what?!

Besides, Lu Xiao had the surname Lu; he was likely an external hire of the Miao Family.

Would the Miao Family dare cause trouble for Xue Clan over such a person? They wouldn’t dare!

"Was I not clear enough, or do I, Xue Ke, not have command over you?" he said.

"Arrest him!"

The Xue Clan guards still did not move. Even without Miao Qidao, they couldn’t just arrest someone without justification.

"Young Master Xue Ke, please wait. I’ll go ask the Family Head to decide," said the captain of the guards, bowing to Xue Ke before swiftly departing.

This was a situation they, as mere guards, could not afford to be responsible for.

Even Xue Ke could not bear the consequences.

One mistake, and it could lead to a rift between two clans.

"Damn it!" Seeing the captain going to call Xue Chengbin, Xue Ke immediately grew irate. What useless guards!

Once his father became the Family Head, he would drive out all these disobedient fools, Xue Ke cursed silently to himself.

Of course, Xue Ke was also somewhat nervous at the moment.

His grandfather had always been stern and just. If his framing of Lu Xiao was seen through, that would certainly spell trouble.

Later, he must insist that Lu Xiao had tampered with the food.

Watching Xue Ke’s series of frantic actions, Lu Xiao couldn’t help but rub his head.

How could such a powerful old figure as Xue Qingsong have such a disappointing descendant...

But there was still a bit of time before seven o’clock. Lu Xiao wasn’t in a hurry, so he just treated it like watching a free show.
