Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Lu Xiao Goes to Battle

After Xue Ke was taken away, Xue Qingsong once again bowed with clasped hands towards Lu Xiao.

"Mr. Lu, I am truly sorry."

"That kid Xue Ke is too cunning; I was nearly deceived by him." Xue Qingsong’s face showed a bit of embarrassment.

Honestly, if Lu Xiao hadn’t shown the video, he really would have defended Xue Ke.

"It’s all right, Xue Ke’s acting really is quite misleading." Lu Xiao said with a smile.

People from the other clans around them also let out some laughter.

That was really the case; the whole incident was almost self-scripted, directed, and acted by Xue Ke.

And the key point is, the kid’s acting was strong, easily switching between laughter and curses on cue.

Especially his quick-witted responses, which were indeed astonishing.

One moment he was speaking with righteous indignation, refusing to compromise, and the next, he could kneel on the ground and cry out "I was wrong, Grandpa."

"Everyone, rest assured, I will make sure to discipline this kid properly," Xue Qingsong assured everyone.

His face was also flushed with eagerness; at the beginning of the Martial Arts Exchange, he was the one who harshly criticized the younger generation of the major clans for their spoiled habits.

Who would have thought that the first to be disciplined for those very habits would be his own grandson.

"Mr. Lu, do you have any suggestions for Xue Ke’s punishment?" Xue Qingsong looked toward Lu Xiao again.

Lu Xiao shook his head; how to deal with Xue Ke was a matter for you Xue Clan, what does it have to do with me?

Besides, if I were to say, "Castrate Xue Ke to prevent him from troubling ladies in the future," you wouldn’t agree, would you...

"Mr. Xue, it’s seven o’clock; shouldn’t we just eat?" said Lu Xiao, changing the subject. "I’m hungry!"

Xue Qingsong immediately took the cue Lu Xiao gave him, "Good, let’s start the feast!"

The people from the major clans quickly dispersed and then took their seats.

Lu Xiao was hungry, and so were they. In fact, many of them hadn’t even touched a snack in the afternoon to maintain their image.

Lu Xiao quickly found the table of the Miao Family, where eight Linglong Guards, along with him and Miao Qidao, made up a full table.

"Brother, you really do make enemies wherever you go!" Miao Qidao couldn’t help but tease Lu Xiao as he approached.

Lu Xiao gave Miao Qidao a glance.

What kind of talk is this, what do you mean I make enemies everywhere I go?

I am simply too outstanding, outstanding people are easily envied, and envy generates hatred, understand?

"Forget it, you guys are too mediocre, you wouldn’t understand if I told you. Let’s eat." With that, Lu Xiao picked up his chopsticks and began to show off his skills.

Around nine in the evening, the banquet concluded.

Lu Xiao was quite satisfied with the meal he had.

The Xue Clan’s banquet was done well, to be fair.

The variety of dishes was great, the portions generous, and the taste was good too.

The wine was excellent as well, smooth and not too heady.

Lu Xiao couldn’t help but drink a couple more glasses, then crawled into his tent and slept until morning.

"Brother, you’re finally awake," Miao Qidao exclaimed as he saw Lu Xiao open his eyes.

"What’s up?"

"Nothing much, if you slept for a bit longer, the Martial Arts Exchange would have ended." Miao Qidao pointed to the fighting ring.

Lu Xiao rubbed his eyes; indeed, the fights had already begun.

It seemed he had slept extremely well last night, not even noticing the loud noises of the battle.

It was partly due to the numbness from the alcohol, and partly because he was truly at ease.

With eight Linglong Guards and Miao Qidao by his side, he could sleep without a worry.

"Still no one has approached you?" Lu Xiao swept his gaze around and then whispered to Miao Qidao.

Miao Qidao naturally knew who Lu Xiao was referring to.

"No."

Lu Xiao shook his head somewhat helplessly, given Qidao’s performance the day before, if there were people from the Goo Family present, they should have made contact.

"Brother, could it be because I haven’t broken through that barrier, they don’t deem me worthy?"

Lu Xiao thought for a few seconds and felt this possibility wasn’t very likely.

If having broken through that barrier was a requirement for selection, then almost no one would be chosen.

In all these years of his travels, Lu Xiao had never seen anyone else who had broken through that barrier.

"Wait, let me give it a try." Nevertheless, Lu Xiao decided to test it out, just in case.

You have to try your luck.

The Goo Family really hid themselves well; days had passed and whether it was Abyss, Black Lotus, or any other intelligence organization, they had all come up empty.

"Brother, are you going to enter the fight?" Miao Qidao also got excited.

The moment to show off had arrived!

The eight Linglong Guards also eagerly looked towards Lu Xiao, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

The Miao Family was about to shine.
