Chapter 452: Chapter 452: If They Stay, Then I’ll Leave

"Ah, I nearly forgot, Mr. Lu, I am here on behalf of my father."

"My father has also prepared some gifts; here is the gift list."

"Moreover, the day after tomorrow is my father’s birthday, and he would like to invite Mr. Lu for a drink," Qin Shiguang finally regained his composure and handed over a booklet, in no way inferior to that from Cui Mansion.

It was the City Lord Mansion, after all; their gestures were always generous.

"Fair enough," Lu Xiao nodded. He might as well go; when people extend an olive branch, it should be accepted.

Besides, he wouldn’t be in Xu Hai City for much longer and reckoned it an opportunity to foster some connections for Han Yi.

"Brother Cui, Mr. Qin, you honor me with your presence!" At that moment, a man’s voice sounded.

A middle-aged man, bearing some resemblance to Han Yi, hurried over with several elders.

Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow; this man must be Han Yi’s father.

He remembered Xu Ming mentioning him once, calling him Luo Yingchong.

Soon, Luo Yingchong had approached, and upon reaching Lu Xiao, he bowed deeply: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for taking Han Yi as your disciple; from now on, your concerns will be Mansion Luo’s concerns."

Everyone was taken aback, their eyes revealing immense envy.

Taking discipleship with Lu Xiao was indeed a masterstroke by Han Yi—she genuinely secured a massive advantage.

Especially Qin Shiguang, his eyes almost brimming with envy—he too wished to be mentored, to learn from Lu Xiao. To counter the Sixth Level with the Third Level was simply brutal.

As for Lu Xiao, he slightly pursed his lips. It seemed that Han Yi and her father had a good relationship; she had told him everything.

So, about today’s plot with the relatives, Luo Yingchong was also well aware.

This would make things easier.

"Family Head Luo, don’t say such things; I really can’t accept that honor."

"Just now, some from your Mansion Luo were calling for my head; they wanted me to kneel, wanted me dead," Lu Xiao shrugged.

"What!!" Luo Yingchong played his part perfectly.

His acting was impeccable, nailing the emotions of anger, shock, and disbelief.

"Elder sister, do you even realize what you’re doing! Do you know who Mr. Lu is, what his status is? It’s simply, simply outrageous!" Luo Yingchong pointed at Luo Yongjuan.

Luo Yongjuan’s face turned ashen. Wasn’t it you who withheld the information?

Don’t think I don’t know the games you and your daughter are playing.

"Say what you will, I am willing to apologize and admit my mistakes," Luo Yongjuan took a deep breath.

At this point, there was no use in resisting; the priority was to settle things down first.

As for the future, that would have to wait.

"Mr. Lu, what do you say?" Luo Yingchong turned to Lu Xiao.

"Have them thrown out," Lu Xiao stated flatly.

Next to him, Han Yi’s eyes sparkled again; her master was truly formidable, understanding her desires even without a discussion.

"No way!" Luo Yongjuan snorted angrily.

Leaving Mansion Luo would end them completely—it was a joke.

"Elders, you be the judge; I just didn’t know Mr. Lu before, so I made mistakes," Luo Yongjuan then turned her attention to the several elders beside Luo Yingchong.

These elders held significant sway in Mansion Luo.

As long as they supported her staying, Luo Yingchong wouldn’t be able to touch her.

"If you decide to keep them, then I’ll head to the City Lord Mansion," Lu Xiao added coolly before the elders could respond.

After his addition, Lu Xiao looked at Qin Shiguang: "Does your City Lord Mansion need any strategists or the like?"

Qin Shiguang immediately nodded fervently: "If Mr. Lu is willing, he can directly be the Commander of Xu Hai City, my father says."

Everyone took a deep breath, Xu Hai City Commander, that was almost the second highest position after the City Lord.

"So, you make the decision. If you want to keep them, then I’m off to the City Lord Mansion," Lu Xiao addressed the elders.

The elders looked at one another, then smiles slowly crept onto their faces.

"Mr. Lu must be joking, of course we choose you."

"Those parasites should have been ousted long ago."

"Yingchong, indecision leads to chaos; forget about familial ties," Luo Yongjuan and several others instantly turned pale.

Damned Lu Xiao, he was really forcing them into a corner.

"You brat, take this!" Luo Yongquan suddenly burst out, launching a palm strike at Lu Xiao.

At the same time, Luo Yingyang’s wife, Liu Rulan, attacked Lu Xiao from the other side.

Both of them were Transcendents of the Fifth Realm, and under their combined assault, the force was indeed formidable.
