Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Harmony is Precious, Lu as the Sparring Partner

"Xu Ming, take Lu Xiao to the Guard House to pick a room, and give him the sparring schedule as well," Luo Hanyi instructed a middle-aged housekeeper who hurried over.

The housekeeper Xu Ming immediately bowed his head in agreement, his expression respectful.

Although Luo Hanyi was the Third Young Miss of Mansion Luo, her status within the mansion was extremely high, such that even the eldest son could not hold a candle to her.

There was no helping it, Luo Hanyi had extraordinary talent.

At the age of twenty-five, she had already reached the Transcendent Second Realm.

Apart from that freak in the City King Mansion, the Third Young Miss of their Mansion Luo was considered the most talented in the whole of Xu Hai City.

If the Third Young Miss could enter the Transcendent Fifth Layer before the age of thirty, she would have the chance to go to the Royal City.

That was the Royal City!

Once in the Royal City, their Mansion Luo in Xu Hai City would become truly untouchable.

After giving instructions to Xu Ming, Luo Hanyi did not bother with Lu Xiao any further and, accompanied by two guards, left straight away.

"Lu Xiao, right? Follow me. To be favored by the Third Young Miss is your good fortune," Xu Ming said to Lu Xiao with a hint of arrogance.

"That’s right, it’s not just good fortune but also an honor," Lu Xiao responded with a grin.

He needed to be amicable now because getting along poorly with others would make it difficult to gather information.

"You sure have a way with words. Just make sure to perform well in the future," Xu Ming said, his face brightening with a bit more of a smile. The young fellow had a pretty good attitude.

Soon, Lu Xiao followed Xu Ming to the Guard House.

As the name suggested, this was where the guards lived.

There was a large martial arts arena in the middle of the courtyard, with weapon racks lining both sides.

"You’ll stay in Yi Seven," Xu Ming pointed out a room towards the end on the left side.

The location wasn’t great but was not too bad either; at least it still got sunlight at this hour.

"Thanks, Manager Xu. I’ll treat you to Juhai Building once I get paid," Lu Xiao said with a beaming smile.

Xu Ming’s eyes lit up, huh! The young fellow really knew how to do things!

"Juhai Building isn’t cheap," Xu Ming raised an eyebrow and remarked.

"Hey, for Manager Xu to say that is too formal. Treating my own elder brother to a meal without worrying about the price," Lu Xiao said.

The smile on Xu Ming’s face was now practically uncontrollable, "I like the way you speak, Xiao Lu. I have high hopes for you. Do well."

"Sure thing, Brother Xu." Lu Xiao instantly switched the form of address.

After a bit more small talk with Xu Ming, Lu Xiao entered his room.

The furnishings in the room were simple, a table, a bed, a wardrobe and beyond that, just a washstand behind the door.

But Lu Xiao didn’t care; having a place to stay was enough.

Just as he finished making the bed, Lu Xiao heard a knock at the door.

The knock was a bit heavy, even bordering on impolite.

Lu Xiao went to open the door and saw two sturdy men standing outside, dressed in Mansion Luo’s guard uniforms.

"You’re the new guy?"

"Yes, do you two elder brothers need something?" Lu Xiao maintained his smile, while inwardly reminding himself to value harmony as a newcomer.

"Since you’ve come to Mansion Luo, that means you’re a brother now. It wouldn’t be a problem to treat the brothers to a meal at Juhai Building, would it?" The burly man said unabashedly.

Lu Xiao’s eye twitched; inviting you was courtesy on my part, but you demanding I treat you is bullying.

Damnit, do you really think I’m so easily bullied?

Damnit... never mind, stay calm and value peace.

"Of course, but I’m a bit tight on cash right now, how about I treat you guys once I get my salary?" Lu Xiao took a deep breath and spoke.

"We’re not discussing, we’re telling you. Half an hour later, eat at Juhai Building!"

"Whether you eat or not is up to you, but you’re footing the bill." The two burly men started to overstep, their eyes on Lu Xiao becoming fierce.

Lu Xiao’s back teeth were clenched; he was close to losing his temper.

"Stay calm, Lu Xiao, stay calm, you must endure," Lu Xiao muttered under his breath as he began to take deep breaths.

Hearing Lu Xiao speaking to himself about holding back, the two strapping men became even more brazen.

"That’s right, you should endure. If you don’t, what could you possibly do about it?"

"It’s an honor for you to be treating us to a meal, understand boy?" one of them said as he reached out to pat Lu Xiao’s face.

As the hand was about to strike him, Lu Xiao let out a long sigh, "Forget it, I can’t hold back."

Smack Smack!

The next second, Lu Xiao struck, his palms landing squarely on their faces.

Both men were dumbfounded, their minds struggling to process what had happened.

"You! The audacity! How dare you hit us!"

Smack Smack!

Lu Xiao slapped them again.

"Get lost, and don’t freaking disgust me; I gave you face!" Lu Xiao’s aura was filled with deadly intent.

I wanted to be kind and value harmony, but I gave you a chance, and you were useless.

"Damnit, let’s beat him to death!" Neither could stand the humilation and prepared to fight Lu Xiao.

We’re all at the First Level of Transcendent; what are you acting so high and mighty for?

Lu Xiao didn’t waste any words; Inner Qi surged forth as he launched an attack, his hands swiftly reaching out to grab each of their heads before slamming them fiercely into the ground.

Bang!

A loud noise erupted as the blue bricks beneath their heads shattered instantly, dust flying everywhere.

"So much for giving you face." Lu Xiao stood up and casually brushed off his hands.

Sure, you’re on the same First Level of Transcendent as I am, but besides Inner Qi, I also have a superpower, you got that?

Besides, even without the power, I could easily take you down.

There are differences even among those of the same level and realm.

Thinking you can challenge someone above your level, you’re really slick, guys.
