Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty
Chapter 183: Xuanyuan Qiankun

Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Xuanyuan Qiankun

"Will the Wu Family agree?" Situ Yan whispered to Lu Tiankou.

Wu Wanshan, that old geezer, had just taken to his heels.

After being stabbed by Liu Mingshu, he bolted like a scared rabbit. It seems he’s just a coward.

Let Wu Wanshan deal with the Xuanyuan Clan, can he manage it?

"Of course."

"Wu Wanshan is not a coward; he just prefers to chase benefits and avoid harm. In fact, Wu Wanshan’s ambition is even bigger than ours."

"I guarantee you, Wu Wanshan didn’t leave at all, he’s watching from nearby," Lu Tiankou said, gesturing around them.

He had known Wu Wanshan for almost a hundred years; how could he not know his true nature?

"Then, later on, let Wu Wanshan be the one to kill from the Xuanyuan Tonglu."

"That way, we can cooperate," Situ Yan proposed his terms.

If Xuanyuan Tonglu dies at the hands of Wu Wanshan, then even if the Wu Family wants to back out, they won’t be able to.

"Fine."

"Then, let’s intercept them." Situ Yan growled, and rushed toward the Xuanyuan Clan’s formation.

Lu Tiankou also struck out, attacking the Xuanyuan Clan.

All the Goo Clan members who came to watch were stunned; what... what the hell were they doing?

Had Situ Yan and Lu Tiankou gone mad? Were they really going to kill Xuanyuan Tonglu?

If Xuanyuan Tonglu dies, the entire Goo Clan would be in chaos.

Damn it, this is getting out of hand.

No way, we need to retreat further down the mountain, in case we get caught in the crossfire.

Situ Yan and Lu Tiankou did not immediately strike but blocked off the Xuanyuan Clan’s formation front and back.

"Sect Leader Xuanyuan, please hand over Liu Mingshu."

"And if I don’t?" Xuanyuan Tonglu snorted in anger.

These two, Situ Yan and Lu Tiankou, are really audacious.

What are they trying to do? Do they want to unite and declare war on the Xuanyuan Clan?

Just with you two? Are you worthy?

"If you don’t, don’t blame me for getting rough, Sect Leader Xuanyuan. I give you time to consider and hope you can reply to me soon; my patience is limited," Situ Yan said coolly.

After speaking, Situ Yan gave Lu Tiankou a meaningful glance.

Lu Tiankou immediately understood and then shouted, "Sect Leader Xuanyuan, I wonder if the Xuanyuan Clan can withstand the Lu Family, the Situ Family, and the Wu Family together."

Xuanyuan Tonglu frowned slightly. Together, the three families made up four Heavenly Men; indeed, not to be underestimated.

"Sect Leader Xuanyuan, let me go out," Liu Mingshu sighed softly beside Xuanyuan Tonglu.

"Thank you for your rescue, Sect Leader Xuanyuan, but... I no longer wish to live."

For Liu Mingshu, she had already lost everything; living held no meaning anymore.

Seek revenge? Even if she killed every last one from the Lu Family and the Situ Family, what would it change?

Could her sister be brought back to life? Could Lu Xiao be brought back to life?

"What if, Lu Xiao is still not dead?" Xuanyuan Tonglu said through clenched teeth.

Liu Mingshu was taken aback, then shook her head again.

How could he possibly be alive? Lu Tiankou personally took action to hunt down Lu Xiao, how could Lu Xiao have survived?

Heavenly Man... too powerful.

Even though Lu Xiao was clever and resourceful, against absolute power, all these were of no use.

"Hasn’t Heavenly Man Liu noticed? Lu Tiankou was injured at the knee, before you even arrived."

"Although it sounds preposterous, I think it’s highly possible that Lu Tiankou’s injury was caused by Lu Xiao."

"If Lu Xiao could injure Lu Tiankou, then he might have managed to escape."

"Moreover, we’ve searched along Ancient River with the Su Family and haven’t found a body anywhere."

Liu Mingshu stared hard at Xuanyuan Tonglu, her eyes, previously dull and despondent, now had a glimmer of hope.

Yes, as long as Lu Xiao’s body is not found, it can’t be said for certain that he is dead.

"If the three families are likely to unite, do you have a backup plan?" With this realization, Liu Mingshu immediately asked.

She didn’t want to die anymore, at least not for now. She had to stay alive, alive to find Lu Xiao.

"Wait, my second grandfather should be arriving soon," Xuanyuan Tonglu said, raising an eyebrow.

Liu Mingshu was also startled, Xuanyuan Tonglu’s second grandpa, Xuanyuan Qiankun!

It’s no wonder Xuanyuan Tonglu was so confident.

...

Meanwhile, in the forest, Ali was already on Lu Xiao’s back.

Although Ali had more stamina than the average child and often climbed mountains, she was still, after all, a child.

Lu Xiao didn’t have the heart to let Ali keep walking, as it would hurt her feet.

"Brother Xiao, where exactly are we going? Ali has never been here before; grandpa said there are many big tigers around," Ali said in her childlike voice.

Feeling the breeze by his ear, Lu Xiao’s lips curled into a light smile. "Big Brother is going to give a good, hard beating to those who hit me before."

"Okay, Brother Xiao! Ali will cheer for you."

"Hey, Brother Xiao, there’s someone ahead," Ali suddenly stretched out her hand and shouted.

Lu Xiao looked ahead and saw an old man pacing in circles, appearing quite anxious.

Upon seeing Lu Xiao and Ali, the old man immediately waved his hand and ran up to them.

"Hello young man, I’m lost," the old man said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Where are you going?"

"To the Lu Family."

Having said that, the old man seemed to recall something, and gave Lu Xiao a thorough look: "Young man, are you from the Goo Clan?"

"Yeah, I’m heading to the Lu Family too. Shall we go together?" Lu Xiao nodded and answered.

"That would be wonderful."

The three of them continued on their way, with Ali occasionally twisting her head to look at the old man.

"Little girl, why do you keep staring at me?" the old man couldn’t help asking Ali, who looked at him so curiously; the little girl was quite cute.

"Grandpa, you look like White Beard Grandpa," Ali suddenly said.

The old man was slightly taken aback, White Beard Grandpa?

Lu Xiao’s footsteps also hesitated slightly. With Ali mentioning it... it really did seem so.

This old man... he really resembled the master.

Holy crap? Could this be the old man’s brother or something? That would be too much of a coincidence.
