Chapter 620: Chapter 620: The Ancestor is My Great-Uncle

Soon, Lu Xiao’s gaze fell upon the elders of the Recruitment Hall.

The five of them, upon meeting Lu Xiao’s eyes, instantly dropped to their knees with loud thuds.

"Junior Sect Leader, please calm your anger; we didn’t know it was you."

"Yes, Junior Sect Leader, ignorance is not a crime."

"Please consider our years of diligent service to the Xuanyuan Tomb and forgive our previous disrespect to you!"

The few men shouted loudly, begging for mercy.

"So, you still don’t understand where you went wrong, huh?" Lu Xiao sneered.

Even in begging for mercy, you can’t seem to get it right.

You still have the nerve to tell me ’ignorance is not a crime,’ and ask forgiveness for your disrespect? Is that what has made me angry?

"Recruitment Hall, responsible for the selection and recruitment of Xuanyuan Tomb disciples."

"Shouldn’t it be fair and just?" Lu Xiao asked.

The five nodded simultaneously: "Of course, this is the requirement from the ancestors, and we strive to uphold it."

"Is that so?"

"So, you think there was no issue with this selection?"

"You think you chose the most excellent talents?" Lu Xiao turned his head towards Wu Feifei.

At this moment, Wu Feifei was so terrified that she was stiff and motionless.

"Excluding the Junior Sect Leader’s situation, yes."

"Junior Sect Leader, you concealed your identity and strength; we can’t be blamed for not noticing."

"Junior Sect Leader, Wu Feifei is still very outstanding."

The men instinctively thought Lu Xiao was angry about not being chosen and immediately began explaining.

"Outstanding?" Lu Xiao struggled to suppress his inner fury; these scoundrels were still telling blatant lies.

"Is it because the benefits you received were particularly outstanding?"

"If I’m not mistaken, Wu Feifei’s words, ’troublesome Elder Yi,’ must be your secret code, right?"

"Originally, the secret code should have belonged to Cui Yili, but Wu Feifei killed him."

"Tell me, how much benefit did you receive from Cui Yili’s father?"

Upon hearing Lu Xiao’s words, the five faces immediately froze, then they vigorously shook their heads and denied loudly.

"Junior Sect Leader, we didn’t!"

"Please discern the truth, Junior Sect Leader; we are innocent."

"We haven’t received any benefits from Cui Shengmin!"

Hearing their rebuttal, Lu Xiao couldn’t even be bothered to roll his eyes.

"When did I say Cui Yili’s father was named Cui Shengmin? You’ve investigated quite thoroughly, huh."

"Don’t tell me that investigating someone’s background is your duty. Come on, tell me the name of any other candidate’s father from today’s assessment; if you can, I’ll let this matter go."

The expressions of the five elders from the Recruitment Hall instantly stiffened.

They knew nothing...

They hadn’t investigated at all.

All they knew was one Cui Shengmin, who had provided many benefits.

"Well, can’t say anything now, huh?"

"Then... it’s better you all die."

"Xuanyuan Longkai, seize them," Lu Xiao waved his hand.

Xuanyuan Longkai, without any hesitation, stood up and ordered his men to move into action.

In less than a minute, all five Recruitment Hall elders were subdued.

"Junior Sect Leader, we are all above the Seventh Level of the Half-Immortal Realm; we are core forces of the Xuanyuan Tomb."

"Yes, Junior Sect Leader, please spare us, considering we are still fairly competent," two of the five began pleading for mercy.

However, the expressions of the other three suddenly turned fierce.

"Lu Xiao, you dare kill me!"

"I am Xuanyuan Hai, the great-grandnephew of the old ancestor!"

"I am Xuanyuan Pingqiu, the old ancestor is my great-uncle!"

The three began flaunting their status, very much like those spoiled second-generations seen in the outside world.
