Chapter 548: Chapter 548: Not Brainless, But Close

Feeling the surge of energy from Situ Xian, Hai Fu also started to panic.

What on earth is Lord City King doing?

Are you not afraid of offending Xuanyuan Tomb, only Penglai Holy Land?

Lu Xiao and Yu Heng are both disciples of Xuanyuan Panshi, and Lu Xiao even holds Xuanyuan’s Order.

If you really provoke Lu Xiao and Xuanyuan Tomb comes to kill, then we are all done for.

"Lord City King..."

"Shut up." Hai Fu had just started to speak to mediate when Situ Xian told him off.

At this moment, Lu Xiao also turned to look at Situ Xian, his eyes a mix of light and shadow.

"What, does Lord City King think I’m impolite and wants to kill me?" Lu Xiao asked.

"If I say yes, how would you respond?" Situ Xian’s aura became even heavier, as if he was ready to strike at any moment.

Facing Situ Xian’s pressure, Lu Xiao remained as steady as an old dog.

"There’s nothing much to respond to. If you want to kill, just kill."

"After all, with the entire Royal City as my funeral company, I won’t be at a loss."

Situ Xian suddenly took a step forward, "Then I’ll just kill all three of you, and no one will know you died by my hand."

At this point, Yu Heng and Zhan Qingyun had already started to mobilize their Inner Qi, ready to flee at any moment.

Yes, once Situ Xian made a move, all they could do was run.

As long as one of them escaped, it would be a victory.

Fight Situ Xian? Forget it, you’ll be beaten into a dead dog in minutes.

As for Lu Xiao, upon hearing Situ Xian’s words, he didn’t leave but pulled out a chair and sat down again, "Come on, waiting to die."

Hai Fu was almost jumping with anxiety.

What are you all doing? Why are you each crazier than the next, can’t you sit down and have a proper talk?

Wasn’t it agreed that Xuanyuan Tomb and Royal City would join forces against Penglai? Why are you starting to fight among yourselves now?

"Hahaha, Lu Xiao, my young friend, it’s all monkey business, Yixi. I was just joking," came Situ Xian’s laugh the next second.

Lu Xiao glanced indifferently at Situ Xian. Whether it’s a joke or not, I am not sure, nor do I care, but it truly disgusted me.

"Hahaha, I knew Lord City King was joking. If there’s nothing else, then we’ll be leaving," Lu Xiao said as he stood up again, his smile radiant and his demeanor cordial.

"Young friend Lu Xiao, we haven’t finished our talk yet."

"About what?"

"About the alliance between Royal City and Xuanyuan Tomb."

"Alliance? What alliance? My only purpose today was to fulfill my master’s request to pay a visit to you. There’s no other reason."

Situ Xian’s face twitched. Playing this game with me, huh?

"Since we’ve had our meal and it’s getting late, we won’t bother Lord City King any longer. Sister, let’s go."

Lu Xiao headed straight out without looking back.

As for Yu Heng and Zhan Qingyun, they followed suit immediately, without a backward glance either.

Just as the three of them left the banquet hall, Hai Fu slammed down into his seat.

"Why! Why do it this way?" Hai Fu looked at Situ Xian.

Situ Xian raised his eyebrows, "What’s wrong, my clever steward? Do you think I did something wrong?"

"There’s a big problem!" Hai Fu’s voice was full of anger. "Doing this pushes Royal City to the opposite side of Xuanyuan Tomb. Isn’t alliance good? If we allied with Xuanyuan Tomb, would the other three Holy Lands dare to act recklessly in Royal City?"

Situ Xian slowly walked behind Hai Fu and patted him on the shoulder.

"You, you only see the three Holy Lands running wild in Royal City."

"But you should know that Xuanyuan Tomb is also a Holy Land."

"The fact that they haven’t caused chaos in Royal City doesn’t mean they don’t want to control it."

"Of course, we can ally with Xuanyuan Tomb against the other Holy Lands, but what about our position in Royal City afterward?"

"Xuanyuan Tomb will eventually still suppress us, and sooner or later, the entire Royal City could become Xuanyuan Tomb’s backyard."

Situ Xian’s words left Hai Fu momentarily stunned.

"But..."

"No buts. You didn’t eat properly before; don’t let it go to waste."

...

Outside the City King Mansion, Zhan Qingyun’s eyebrows were already twisted into knots.

He hadn’t expected things to turn out this way.

Not only did he not get Situ Xian’s support, but he also managed to sour the relationship.

"Junior brother, what do you think?" Yu Heng couldn’t help but ask, as Situ Xian’s attitude today was strange.

Lu Xiao snorted, "Afraid of the tiger in front and the wolf behind, just a coward."

Lu Xiao understood Situ Xian’s actions perfectly well.

He feared that allying with Xuanyuan Tomb, Royal City would later become its vassal.

While the ideal of not succumbing to others is good, what use is it? Without Xuanyuan Tomb, isn’t Royal City still nothing more than a playground for the other three Holy Lands? They do what they want, kill whom they want.

So, in summary, Situ Xian has brains, but not much.
