Chapter 443: Chapter 443: Mr. Lu Who Dislikes Fighting

"If you’re not drinking, can you get lost?"

"Okay, sure."

After Lu Xiao released him, Hong Ping ran away as fast as his legs could carry him, without uttering a single fierce word.

"What a pity." Watching Hong Ping run away so fast, Lu Xiao couldn’t help but shake his head.

He thought Hong Ping would say something tough, even just a "Wait and see." If Hong Ping had said even a single sentence like that, he could have continued to beat him up.

"Brother Xu, come on, let’s keep eating." Lu Xiao smiled at Xu Ming and picked up the wine cup in front of him.

It wasn’t until then that Xu Ming snapped back to reality, hurriedly picked up his wine cup, and clinked it against Lu Xiao’s.

However, he subconsciously lowered the rim of his cup by a lot.

Xu Ming had always thought that Lu Xiao was just an ordinary sparring partner recruited by Third Young Miss, but surprisingly, Lu Xiao was this strong.

Hong Ping, at the Fourth Realm, couldn’t even fight back in front of Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao seemed to be only about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, simply terrifying.

Qin Shiguang of the City Lord Mansion had always been hailed as the top talent of Xu Hai City, but compared to Lu Xiao, he seemed... practically nothing.

Qin Shiguang is at the Third Level, and could perhaps defeat Hong Ping if he fought with full force.

After all, talents have some extraordinary aspects.

But Lu Xiao beating up Hong Ping... to be accurate, he didn’t even hit him; Hong Ping was just pressed down and couldn’t lift his head at all.

One-sided absolute suppression.

"Mr. Lu, are you, experiencing life?" Xu Ming didn’t dare to call Lu Xiao "Brother Lu" anymore.

If Lu Xiao were just an ordinary sparring partner, calling him Brother Lu wouldn’t matter.

But with Lu Xiao’s talent, placing him anywhere would make him an absolutely shining star. Calling him a mere ’Brother’ seemed somewhat inappropriate.

"Brother Xu, acting distant again with me."

"I just arrived at Xu Hai City yesterday, penniless, and it was Third Young Miss who took me in; I settled into Mansion Luo thanks to Brother Xu who arranged a room for me and showed me around the mansion’s rules. To me, you are all my, Lu Xiao’s, friends."

Hearing Lu Xiao’s words, Xu Ming immediately waved his hands: "No, no, it’s all part of my job."

"You could have chosen to bully the newcomer like those other guards, but you didn’t. That’s very important to me," Lu Xiao said earnestly.

"Hey, what’s the big deal? We who manage things must make be good to people."

"Anyway, I call you brother, and you call me brother."

"Okay, then Brother Lu... Let’s drink." Xu Ming didn’t hesitate anymore. To continue being coy would seem disrespectful.

After the meal, Lu Xiao and Xu Ming became very close.

You call me ’Brother’, I call you ’Brother’, the familiarity and regret of meeting late were just off the charts.

Initially, Lu Xiao might have had a purpose in getting close to Xu Ming, but after spending time together, Lu Xiao genuinely thought Xu Ming was a great guy.

"Brother, let’s drink at my place tomorrow. I’ll have my sister-in-law cook up some homestyle dishes, all Xu Hai City specials."

"Then it’s a deal, Brother! I’ll definitely be there tomorrow."

At the entrance of Mansion Luo, Lu Xiao and Xu Ming chatted shoulder to shoulder about tomorrow’s plans.

Just then, the gate opened, and Luo Hanyi walked out with two guards.

Seeing Lu Xiao, Luo Hanyi paused slightly.

As for the two guards beside Luo Hanyi, their gaze at Lu Xiao was filled with nervousness and fright.

They are Luo Hanyi’s trusted aides, so they were present yesterday when Lu Xiao thrashed Luo Hanyi.

"Good day, Third Young Miss." Xu Ming immediately let go of Lu Xiao and bowed in greeting to Luo Hanyi.

"Going out for a stroll, Third Young Miss?" Lu Xiao waved and greeted.

Luo Hanyi clenched her fists. Lu Xiao, if you don’t know how to speak, could you please shut up? What do you mean going out for a stroll, am I some streetwalker?

"Now that you’re back, you might as well come with me to Cui Mansion, there’s a youth exchange meeting today in Xu Hai City," Luo Hanyi said.

Lu Xiao and Xu Ming were both taken aback, Cui Mansion!!

Lu Xiao had just beaten up the Instructor Hong Ping of Cui Mansion at Juhai Building, and now visiting them might not be a good idea!

"Maybe... let’s not. I won’t go," Lu Xiao was also a bit reluctant to go, feeling a bit tipsy.

"You must go. Your salary will be fifty thousand a month."

"Third Young Miss, I’ll lead the way!" Lu Xiao strode ahead.

No kidding, one couldn’t fight with money even if it meant making do with less.

From thirty thousand to fifty thousand.

Hearing that Lu Xiao’s salary increased again, and by twenty thousand at that, neither Xu Ming nor the two trusted aides beside Luo Hanyi felt any jealousy or envy.

In their opinion, Lu Xiao was completely worth the price.

Lu Xiao only took a minute before he went the wrong way, after all, he didn’t know where Cui Mansion was.

In the end, he honestly followed behind Luo Hanyi.

About ten minutes later, the group entered Cui Mansion.

Cui Mansion didn’t seem smaller than Mansion Luo, but Lu Xiao always felt that Cui Mansion had a bit of a nouveau-riche vibe.

Numerous seemingly luxurious items were stacked inside the courtyard, but it looked like they lacked depth, not possessing the natural charm of Mansion Luo.

"Lu Xiao, will you mingle with those young Heavenly Men later?" Halfway there, Luo Hanyi suddenly asked.

If Lu Xiao were willing, he would probably be the center of attention.

Regardless of Lu Xiao’s real identity, he is now her, Luo Hanyi’s, sparring partner, and his rising reputation would be good for Mansion Luo.

"No need, no need, I’m not fond of fights and killings. I prefer peace."
