Chapter 120: Chapter 120: 23-Year-Old Late-Stage Qi

"Does Master Liu want to adopt Lu Xiao as his godson just because he likes him?" Su Qin suddenly asked a question.

Liu Mingshu’s eyelids twitched slightly.

What did Su Qin mean by that?

Could it be that she knew about Lu Xiao’s identity?

Impossible. Even after 20 years of searching, she hadn’t found even the slightest trace, so how could Su Qin possibly know?

"Lu Xiao and I, we just hit it off," Liu Mingshu responded nonetheless.

"It seems there are things that Master Liu is unaware of."

"Speak plainly," Liu Mingshu’s tone was low.

At the same time, Liu Mingshu was considering what to do next. If Su Qin really found out about Lu Xiao’s identity, she wondered whether she should just kill Su Qin.

Currently, at the Peak of Hua Realm, she couldn’t protect Lu Xiao if his identity were exposed.

She must wait until she broke through the Hua Realm to stand against the Lu and Situ families.

Su Qin’s slender fingers tapped lightly on the small bamboo stool, making a tap-tap-tap sound.

After about half a minute of this, Su Qin looked at Liu Mingshu again, serious and solemn.

"If Master Liu insists on standing in the way, I’m afraid I might have to turn against you."

Liu Mingshu and Su Yan both opened their mouths, faces filled with disbelief.

"After all, no clan would give up a 23-year-old Qi genius," Su Qin added.

What?

It wasn’t just Su Yan who was stunned; even Liu Mingshu was baffled.

Lu Xiao had reached the level of Qi? What a joke!

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Aside from the Goo Clan, no one else can even break through the barrier."

"Without breaking through the barrier, one cannot achieve Inner Strength, let alone Qi!" Su Yan yelled, not believing it at all.

She had investigated Lu Xiao’s past and resume. Apart from serving five years in the army, everything else about him was as ordinary as could be.

This man, you’re telling me he’s at the level of Qi? A 23-year-old at the level of Qi.

Bear in mind, Liu Mingshu also reached the level of Qi at 23, and she was proclaimed the pride of the Goo Clan of the past century.

"I saw it with my own eyes at the Martial Arts Exchange," Su Qin shrugged her shoulders.

Truth be told, if she had not seen Lu Xiao display the power of Qi, she wouldn’t have believed it either.

Moreover, according to her assessment, Lu Xiao was not just in the Qi Early Stage; this guy was very likely already at the Late-stage Qi. Otherwise, facing forty-six people from the Shengjing Clan, he couldn’t have won so easily.

The members of the Shengjing Clan might not be strong, but a group of forty-six attacking together would mean at most a pyrrhic victory for someone in the Qi Early Stage.

And what about Lu Xiao? He toppled them all without breaking a sweat, not even a drop.

years old, Late-stage Qi, it’s outrageous even to think about.

In the Goo Clan, Su Qin was also considered a chosen one, yet she was only at the Peak of Internal Strength.

And she was already 27 this year.

By thirty, she was certain to reach Qi, but compared to Lu Xiao, she was nothing.

"I have already obtained a special permission from the clan; Lu Xiao can join the Su Family without any assessment."

"As long as he’s willing, in three days he will be a member of the Su Family," Su Qin spoke with extreme determination.

She was set on having Lu Xiao, and no one, including Liu Mingshu, was going to stand in her way.

Late-stage Qi might not be top-tier in the Goo Clan, but Lu Xiao was too young and his talent too domineering. Give him three to five years, and he might well become Peak of Hua Realm.

Su Qin even thought, if Lu Xiao could be so outrageous without the resources of the Goo Clan, once he joined the Su Family, he was very likely to experience another surge in growth.

By thirty, breaking the shackles and achieving above the Hua Realm wasn’t impossible.

Then, the Su Family would become one of the top powers in the Goo Clan and a force no one would dare provoke.

Liu Mingshu sat on the small bamboo stool, falling into silence, seemingly at a loss to stop the inevitable.

Unless she killed Su Qin and the two at the Early Stage of Hua Realm who protected her.

But that was nearly a fantasy. She might be at the Peak of Hua Realm and capable of handling the two Early Stage Hua Realm protectors with a few moves.

But would they be foolish enough to confront her to the death? Of course not.

If she made a move against Su Qin, they would definitely flee in different directions and make their way back to the Su Family.

"What if I give up Lu Xiao and become a Guest Elder of the Su Family?" Several minutes later, Liu Mingshu offered a deal, all that she could afford.
