Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Is There a Rule That Says You Can’t Fight Down the Mountain?

Lu Xiao didn’t know if he had any masochistic tendencies, but after two days of interaction, he’d developed a huge admiration for Su Yan.

She could stare at a fish without moving for three hours.

A solid three hours, absolutely motionless the entire time.

Of course, staring at fish wasn’t Su Yan’s ultimate skill. Her true talent was conveying her thoughts without saying a word.

"Lu Xiao, ask Su Yan what drink she’d like for lunch," Aunt Liu’s voice came from the kitchen.

By the pond, Lu Xiao quickly turned to look at Su Yan.

Su Yan turned to look at him too.

"Orange juice!" Lu Xiao immediately started guessing.

Su Yan just kept staring at him.

"Apple juice!"

Su Yan didn’t budge.

"Coke!"

Su Yan still stared straight.

"I’ve got it, lemon tea!" Lu Xiao suddenly stood up.

Su Yan’s lips slightly curled up, then she stopped looking at Lu Xiao and turned back to watch the fish.

Lu Xiao was also excited; he had guessed correctly after only three tries.

He felt he was gradually getting the knack and soon he’d be able to translate Su Yan’s glances into three different meanings, just like Aunt Liu could.

After lunch, Lu Xiao rested briefly before heading back to his room to gather his things.

As he was leaving, he saw Su Yan and Aunt Liu feeding the fish by the pond.

"Aunt Liu, I’m stepping out."

"Not coming back tonight?" Aunt Liu glanced at Lu Xiao’s backpack and asked.

"Hmm, it might take several days. Please take care of the yard with Su Yan," Lu Xiao said and then waved his hand and left the yard.

Seeing Lu Xiao leave, Aunt Liu was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "Leaving at this hour, he must be going to that Martial Arts Exchange."

Then, looking towards Su Yan, she asked, "Want to go check it out? There might be suitable candidates."

Su Yan shook her head, "Too weak, not interested."

Aunt Liu shrugged and said no more.

Indeed, when it came to martial arts, the Shengjing Clan was far inferior.

Any random member from the Goo Clan was capable of taking on a group all by themselves.

...

Due to a bit of traffic, it took Lu Xiao two hours to reach the foot of Longxiang Mountain, where the Xue Clan was located.

By this time, the area around the mountain’s base was already crowded with members from various clans.

"Brother, over here!" Miao Qidao had been waiting at the entrance, and he immediately waved and ran over when he saw Lu Xiao.

Following behind Miao Qidao, eight active Linglong Guards quickly caught up.

Every Linglong Guard wore an excited smile on their face.

With Lu Xiao’s arrival, was the championship still far off?

A surprise? Impossible! Lu Xiao was incredibly powerful.

"Where’s grandfather?" After seeing just Miao Qidao and the eight Linglong Guards, Lu Xiao couldn’t help but ask.

"The Family Head arrived a day early to discuss some matters."

Lu Xiao nodded, then pointed to the massive crowd ahead, "Is this the lineup? How long will we have to wait?"

Though there were cable cars on Longxiang Mountain, two cables with just five or six cars were terribly slow.

With at least six hundred people gathered here, six cars could only carry about thirty people at a time.

That meant it would take about twenty trips to transport everyone.

At half an hour per trip, it would easily take ten hours.

"Your Miao Clan is in a hurry too?"

"What, eager to go up and take a reverse position to go home and sleep?" a loud mocking voice rang out nearby.

Then, the people around also burst into laughter.

Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes at Miao Qidao.

Miao Qidao looked somewhat embarrassed. "Brother, the order of boarding the cable car is based on the rankings from the last Martial Arts Exchange."

"Last time, among 37 clans, Miao Clan ranked third from last."

Lu Xiao also felt speechless after hearing this.

"Didn’t you participate last time?"

With Miao Qidao’s skills, there was no way he should have ended up almost last.

"Uh, was goofing off outside, forgot." Miao Qidao shrank his neck; because of this, he’d been confined by his grandfather on the back cliff for a whole month.

"Alright, roll back and wait," the mocking continued from that man.

Lu Xiao looked at him, then back at Miao Qidao, "Is there a rule that says you can’t fight at the base of the mountain?"

Miao Qidao paused for two seconds, then shook his head.

"So, what are you waiting for?"

As soon as Lu Xiao finished speaking, Miao Qidao directly slapped the man’s face.

The man fell to the ground with a thud, his head hitting the ground hard, and he passed out immediately.

Suddenly, there was dead silence all around.
