Chapter 211: Chapter 121 Evil Spirit Token_3

"Sir, should we try to capture him back?" the man beside the Red Sand City Lord said.

"No need, make some arrangements, I want to invite him to a meal." The Red Sand City Lord said calmly.

"Yes." The man responded, but felt a bit puzzled in his heart.

Considering his understanding of the Red Sand City Lord, he hadn’t expected the Lord to make such a decision.

First, Li Xiu killed the younger brother-in-law of the Red Sand City Lord and took Zhongshan City, then took out the Lord’s close aide Cha Liang, and also the guard Mu Yu sent by the Lord’s wife, deeply offending the Red Sand City Lord to such an extent. It was quite unlike the Red Sand City Lord’s usual style not to immediately want him dead.

Although Li Xiu had some relationship with the Chu Family of White Night City, he wasn’t part of the Chu Family, nor did he have any shared interests with them; the Chu Family couldn’t protect him indefinitely.

The Red Sand City Lord seemed to have no reason to leave him be; at the very least, he should take back Zhongshan City.

"Could it be that the City Lord wants to use the banquet as an opportunity to take action against him?" The man thought for a while, feeling it was quite possible, as something the Red Sand City Lord would absolutely do.

However, the timing seemed wrong, the Chu Family hadn’t left yet, and taking action against Li Xiu now at the City Lord’s Mansion didn’t seem appropriate.

The man couldn’t figure out what the Red Sand City Lord intended to do, and had to first contact the Chu Family to arrange the meeting between Li Xiu and the Red Sand City Lord.

Li Xiu and Chu Jun returned to Red Sand City, and just before entering, Chu Jun had the soldier stop the car. He got off, walked over to a middle-aged man standing beside the city gate, and said, "Second Uncle, why are you here?"

"If I didn’t come, would you come see me? I helped you with such a big favor, we’re both in Red Sand City, yet you brat don’t even come to see me, and you still have the nerve to call me Second Uncle?" The middle-aged man laughed.

Chu Jun laughed and said, "I was just afraid of disturbing your important business, Second Uncle."

"Stop with that, you’re scared I’ll take you back, aren’t you?" Second Uncle squinted his eyes and said, "Why not go back and inherit the family business? What can you achieve by fiddling around here?"

"We’ve hardly met, can’t we talk about something else, Second Uncle?" Chu Jun said helplessly.

"Alright, then let’s talk about your friend." Second Uncle said, looking towards Li Xiu sitting in the car.

Li Xiu stayed in the car and didn’t get out, which made Second Uncle somewhat displeased. Since he was Chu Jun’s friend, upon seeing this elder, he didn’t even come out to greet him, showing poor manners and leaving a bad first impression.

Seeing Second Uncle’s dissatisfaction, Chu Jun quickly called Li Xiu out and introduced him, "Li Xiu, this is my Second Uncle, just call him Second Uncle too. This time, if it weren’t for Second Uncle’s help, convincing the Red Sand City Lord would have been difficult."

"Thank you, Second Uncle." Li Xiu said.

"Coming out of the Gate of Purgatory alive, you indeed did well." Second Uncle shifted the subject, "But individual power is ultimately limited, what are your plans for the future?"

"To continue participating in trials and becoming a better Trial Taker." Li Xiu replied.

"That’s indeed a decent path." Second Uncle nodded, seeming to lose interest in Li Xiu, casually mentioning the Red Sand City Lord wanted to invite him for dinner tonight, then pulled Chu Jun aside.

"Do less mingling with people like that in the future." After walking a distance, Second Uncle said to Chu Jun.

"Why?" Chu Jun asked in confusion.

"He’s walking the single-log bridge, pursuing the path of facing enemies alone. You are to inherit the Chu Family’s business and become the future Lord of White Night City, such a person will be just one of your thousands of subordinates in the future. If you get too close to him and fall under his influence, you may fall short and how could you then inherit the business?" Second Uncle continued seriously.

"A Magic Armor Master also walks the path of facing enemies alone, our family’s many brothers, sisters, and elders also follow that path, yet they don’t necessarily fall short." Chu Jun countered.

"A Magic Armor Master and a Trial Taker are not the same, don’t confuse the two. Since you lack the talent of a Magic Armor Master, you should focus on learning and mastering the path of becoming a Lord, controlling White Night City well." Hearing Chu Jun group Magic Armor Masters with Trial Takers made Second Uncle slightly displeased.

"I don’t think there’s much difference; a true Trial Taker may not be worse than a Magic Armor Master. You know, true Trial Takers are also very powerful." Chu Jun said defiantly.

Second Uncle said coldly, "You’re going astray, probably under Li Xiu’s influence. Trial Takers worthy to be compared with Magic Armor Masters? Not to mention that true Trial Takers still find it difficult to match top-tier Magic Armor Masters, fundamentally, Trial Takers can never surpass Magic Armor Masters."

"Why?" Chu Jun didn’t agree with Second Uncle’s perspective.

"What differentiates humans from animals is wisdom. Do you think the strongest animal can match human-made weapons? The power of technology always surpasses physical strength, and it’s the same with Magic Armor Masters and Trial Takers. No matter how strong a Trial Taker becomes, they are fundamentally inferior. It’s good that you want to improve physical qualities, but you must not lose yourself to it; that’s not your path." Second Uncle said seriously.

Chu Jun wanted to refute but found himself unable to think of a counterargument, he opened his mouth but said nothing.

"Let’s go, come back with me, I’ll take you back to White Night City once the transaction is complete. You should get sensible and go back to work seriously." With a commanding tone, Second Uncle left no room for Chu Jun to question.

"Please wait a moment," Chu Jun was unsure what to do when Li Xiu approached and called out to Second Uncle.

"What do you want?" Second Uncle frowned slightly, unwilling to let Chu Jun have further interactions with Li Xiu.

"I have exceptionally good hearing, and I accidentally overheard your conversation just now, I apologize for that. Since Chu Jun calls you Second Uncle, I’ll take the liberty to do the same. I think the analogy you made earlier isn’t quite accurate." Li Xiu said.

"Oh, how is it inaccurate?" Second Uncle asked, staring at Li Xiu.
