Chapter 706 - Listen While Kneeling (1/2)

Wu Jinxiu’s behaviors leave Xia Mu no reason to refute at all.

“Miss Wu, don’t rush. Why don’t you sit down and have tea with me?” Xia Mu says with a smile.

Wu Jinxiu turns around. She casts a glance at him and sneers, except that her sneer is full of scorn for Xia Mu.

“Have tea with you? Do you deserve it?” Wu Jinxiu asks ironically.

Uncle An can’t hold back his temper anymore. He hastens to yell with a cold face, “Miss Wu, you mustn’t be so rude to our master!”

“Humph. You are a small ancient martial arts family only. Do you really think you are great? What? Just because Xia Shengtang is at the realm of Grand Master, you think the Xia Family has had a meteoric rise? Ridiculous! Do you know how many cultivators the Wu Family has? How many cultivators above the realm of Master are there in the Wu Family?” Wu Jinxiu doesn’t conceal her disdain for the Xia Family at all. Her words are extremely harsh. Apparently, she looks down upon the Xia Family as well as Xia Shengtang.

Uncle An suddenly can relate to Xia Lu.

At first, he also felt that the connection between the Xia Family and the Wu Family via marriage was a great opportunity for the Xia Family to thrive within a short time. After all, there is a cultivator at the realm of Grand Master in the Xia Family now. What the Xia Family needs is a powerful pillar. And perhaps, the Wu Family can be the pillar. However, as it appears, if Xia Lu really marries into the Wu Family, she will suffer great wrong.

Anyhow, it is not a wise decision!

“It seems that the Wu Family just treats our family like dirt?” Xia Mu pulls a long face.

“Yes, so what?” Wu Jinxiu answers without thinking.

Xia Mu is suddenly dazed.

To be honest, he didn’t expect her to answer so bluntly. Now, he just feels at a loss what to do.

He is in a pickle!

Does he have to be tough and expel Wu Jinxiu directly?

However, if he really does, he will not only miss a chance to let the Xia Family thrive but also offend a blessed spot.

Yet, if he admits his mistake…

The master of the Xia Family surrenders to a junior of the Wu Family. If it leaks out, the Xia Family will be thoroughly discredited.

Hence, Xia Mu feels like giving himself a slap now.

Why did he ask that stupid question?

Now, he has been pushed to the corner.

He fails to make Wu Jinxiu restrain herself and worse still, he embarrasses himself. Obviously, he has lifted a rock only to drop it on his own feet.

Wu Jinxiu looks at Xia Mu’s complicated facial expression and also gives a smile. She seems to feel a sense of achievement. After all, she came here in advance only to deal the Xia Family a head-on blow at the first encounter. She doesn’t care which one takes the head-on blow, as long as her goal is reached.

She pats her hands and says, “Forget it. I had better show you some respect. Since Xia Lu feels she is too ugly to present herself, I can’t be bothered to make things difficult for her. After all, even after Xia Lu marries into the Wu Family, she will only be cold-shouldered. Do you really think that Wu You will take her as a real wife? Well, I’m leaving now. No need to see me off.”

The people of the Xia Family become even more depressed.

Wu Jinxiu has just given them a slap in the face and now, she wants to leave.

More irritatingly, she gave them a slap in the face but they don’t even feel like striking back.

However, just when Wu Jinxiu crosses the threshold, she meets Xia Lu head-on.

Wu Jinxiu stares at Xia Lu with her neck tilted. Although she hasn’t seen Xia Lu’s photo, she has guessed the oncoming girl’s identity. This is probably a woman’s sixth sense.

“Is this the place where you can come and go at will?” Xia Lu asks.

“I heard that you’ve reached the realm of Strength Exposure,” Wu Jinxiu says with a smile.

Xia Lu doesn’t answer but her face is quite sullen.

“Humph. Quite nice. I’m at the realm of Strength Protection only, more specifically, the initial stage. I’m no match for you for sure. What? What about giving me a beating?” Wu Jinxiu says with a sneer.

Xia Lu takes a few steps forward and strikes a punch at her.

Without even having a chance to block the punch, Wu Jinxiu is sent back to the living room by the potent punch.

“Okay,” after striking a punch, Xia Lu says.

Wu Jinxiu is lost for words.

Xia Mu, Uncle An and the others are astonished.

They always believe that Xia Lu is not stupid.

In this case, didn’t she understand what Wu Jinxiu actually meant?
