Chapter 85: Chapter 85: I Have Not Experience Sweet Love Yet

"I have told you all I know about your parents’ affairs,"

"and I have told you how to find your enemy."

"Next, isn’t it time we settled our own accounts?"

The following words from Miao Tianhe made everyone present startled.

Settle accounts?

"Grandfather..." Miao Qidao unconsciously wanted to speak out, Please don’t provoke Lu Xiao again.

This guy really has a bad temper.

Today, it was already quite patient of Lu Xiao to just kill three Linglong Guards along with Miao Tengkong.

He even spared Miao Xiu.

If it were up to his old personality, everyone who had shown him a weapon might not have survived.

Lu Xiao was infamously ferocious.

Initially, Black Lotus had only accepted an assassination job against Lu Xiao and was still assessing whether or not to send assassins when Lu Xiao took the initiative to come knocking.

He directly made a mess of Black Lotus.

According to Arthur, there were at least two hundred Black Lotus assassins killed by Lu Xiao at that time.

Even nearly half of Black Lotus’s strongest "Twelve Knights Group" were killed by Lu Xiao.

Miao Qidao knew something about the Black Lotus Twelve Knights.

Perhaps their combat strength was not top-tier, but their assassination techniques were absolutely terrifying. When they moved, they used all means necessary.

Guns, traps, poisons, sedative drugs, and even various explosives along with some high-tech weapons.

Their goal was never to defeat the enemy but to kill the enemy.

Lu Xiao had also told him that the Twelve Knights Group was the only one putting pressure on him over the years.

"Shut up," Miao Tianhe scolded Miao Qidao sternly.

"I won’t pursue what happened with Miao Tengkong; after all, he brought it upon himself."

"But for the three Linglong Guards, he needs to take responsibility," Miao Tianhe pointed at Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao curled his lips; the old man really was capable.

Did he truly care about the lives of the three Linglong Guards? Of course not. He could remain calm even when his own son died—let alone a few guards.

What Miao Tianhe really wanted was a commitment from Lu Xiao.

Just now, Miao Tianhe had disclosed everything about his parents and even informed him on how to find the Goo Clan.

Under such circumstances, he definitely couldn’t take action anymore.

"Tell me, how am I to take responsibility?" Lu Xiao spread his hands.

Upon hearing Lu Xiao’s words, a flash of joy crossed Miao Tianhe’s eyes.

"Your mother and Miao Yu were very close friends, always referring to each other as sisters."

"In fact, right after you were born, your mother had even accepted Miao Yu as your godmother."

"So, you could be considered half a member of the Miao Clan."

"Since you can be considered a member of the Miao Clan, being the chief of the Linglong Guards isn’t too much, is it?" Miao Tianhe said with a beaming smile.

Lu Xiao rolled his eyes; you are much more crafty than your son.

Miao Tengkong only dared to freeload off me for three years, but you want me to become the chief of the Linglong Guards right away.

This way, you can have me work for free for a lifetime.

Miao Qidao also opened his mouth wide in astonishment, then started giggling foolishly, still, Grandfather is thorough.

Soon, Miao Qidao thought of something else and immediately pulled out a black token from his clothes and forcefully stuffed it into Lu Xiao’s hand.

"Brother, this is the Chief Token for the Linglong Guards."

Seeing Miao Qidao’s actions, Miao Tianhe also appeared quite pleased.

The grandson is good, smart and understanding, and also generous, not clinging to authority. To give away the Chief Token of the Linglong Guards just like that.

Miao Tengkong... died wonderfully.

With Qidao becoming the Family Head and Lu Xiao being the Chief of the Linglong Guards, the future of the Miao Clan is limitless.

"This way, I can also rest easy when I pass away."

"Take it." Miao Tianhe no longer hesitated and handed the Family Head Order to Miao Qidao.

Miao Qidao was somewhat stunned, holding the Family Head Order and not knowing what to do.

"Grandpa, this... this isn’t right, it shouldn’t be my turn. You... should pass it to Second Grandpa." Miao Qidao had never imagined that Miao Tianhe would pass the Family Head Order to him.

Miao Tianxing, standing nearby, rolled his eyes, "I’m only three years younger than your grandpa, and it won’t be long till I’m gone too. Do you think it’s appropriate for the Miao family to lose a Family Head every few days?"

"Then it could be passed to... passed to..." Miao Qidao could not come up with a name even after a long time.

After all, all three of Miao Tianhe’s children were already deceased.

As for Second Grandpa, he had been engrossed in martial arts all his life, committed to remaining single and childless until now.

It seemed that it was only up to himself after all.

"Alright, it’s decided then," Miao Tianhe patted Miao Qidao on the shoulder, "From now on, the Miao family is in your hands, and you can’t be as wilful as before."

Miao Qidao’s gaze became slightly dim.

He actually wanted to refuse, but he feared his refusal would leave his grandfather unable to die peacefully.

Moreover, if he didn’t take over, he guessed there would be many in the Miao family stirring up trouble, leading to chaotic uproars.

"I’m only 22 years old!"

"I haven’t even experienced a sweet romance yet."

"I still want to pursue the peak of martial arts..."

"Brother, why don’t you be the Miao Family Patriarch," Miao Qidao clung to Lu Xiao, his eyes filled with sadness and pleading.

He truly did not want to spend his young life stuck on this broken mountain.

Lu Xiao gave Miao Qidao a look, even if you throttle your grandpa’s neck and slap him in the face, he won’t agree to me becoming the Family Head.

"Actually, if you don’t want to do it now, it’s not like there isn’t a way out."

Hearing Lu Xiao’s words, Miao Qidao became excited, and Miao Tianhe and Miao Tianxing started to get nervous.

What was Lu Xiao going to do? Surely he isn’t planning to run away with Qidao?

Lu Xiao fumbled in his pocket and then took out a small white porcelain bottle, throwing it to Miao Tianhe.

"One pill a day, continue for a week."

"After a week, the hidden injuries in your body should be mostly healed."

"As long as you take it easy, living another ten or eight years won’t be a problem," Lu Xiao mentioned casually.

Miao Tianhe’s face gradually turned red, and his hands began to tremble.

Was everything Lu Xiao said true? Could he really live another ten or eight years?

"Consider this my thank-you gift," Lu Xiao added.

His parents were accepted by the Miao family, which enabled his smooth birth.

Otherwise, he might not have even had the chance to come into this world.

Regarding the enemies that later came to their door, Miao Tianhe’s decision was not unjustifiable.

In the face of absolute power, there really wasn’t much choice.

"As for the position of chief of the Linglong Guards, forget it. I’ve been too accustomed to freedom. You can assign me any honorary title you like, and if there’s trouble, I’ll help," Lu Xiao said as he placed the Chief Token on the table.

Miao Tianhe took a deep breath and didn’t insist any further.

For Lu Xiao to do so much, he was already completely satisfied.

"Good, then the Miao family is your home from now on, and you’re always welcome to come back."

"There’s nothing much here, but the scenery is top-notch, suitable for a visit every now and then."

"This courtyard has been unoccupied since your parents passed away; now, it’s yours."

"There are still some of your parents’ belongings in the house, you... can take a look."

After speaking, Miao Tianhe left with Miao Tianxing, and Miao Qidao, seeing the situation, excused himself and slipped away too.

In the vast courtyard, only Lu Xiao, Qin Youling, and that old tree that had always been there were left.

"You go inside, I will wait for you here." Qin Youling thought for a moment and decided to stay outside, knowing Lu Xiao would probably prefer to be alone at such a time.
