Chapter 797 (2/2)

“There are things I want that your father can’t give me, so I have to turn to others.”

“Naturally, if I want someone to help me obtain something, then I must first give up something.”

“This…”

“It’s the reason I am here today.”

After hearing this, Lu Youjiu fell silent again, then spoke after a moment:

“So, Elder Xiao, you’re not planning to let us go, are you?”

The man surnamed Xiao looked at Lu Youjiu, his eyes filled with regret:

“Little Jiu…”

“Although I don’t wish to hurt you, this matter isn’t up to me.”

“But rest assured, after all I watched you grow up, if I really do send you off, I won’t let you suffer even a little bit.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Youjiu’s expression suddenly relaxed, and then he seemed to come to a resolution.

“Elder Xiao!”

“I think you should understand my father well, he didn’t get to where he is solely by martial force.”

“If I’m not guessing wrong, he must also be aware of your arrival here.”

Upon hearing this, the man surnamed Xiao laughed softly, saying:

“Haha…”

“Little Jiu is indeed Little Jiu, even now, you can stay so calm.”

Having said that, the man surnamed Xiao called out directly:

“Jingtao!”

“Since you’re already here, stop hiding and come out!

”

“It’s about time for the two of us brothers to have a good talk.”

As the words of the man surnamed Xiao fell, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared not far from everyone.

This man’s appearance was quite abrupt, and none present knew how he had appeared.

After the middle-aged man appeared, Lu Youjiu heaved a sigh of relief, then his face showed joy, and he respectfully said to this newly appeared middle-aged man:

“Father!”

The middle-aged man looked at Lu Youjiu and then nodded slightly.

The suddenly appeared middle-aged man was none other than Lu Youjiu’s father, Lu Jingtao, the Alliance Hierarch of the Shocking Seas Alliance.

After Lu Jingtao signaled to Lu Youjiu, he turned his head to look at the man surnamed Xiao opposite him, and then spoke:

“Xiao Yinxuan…”

“You’re right, it’s about time for the two of us brothers to have a good talk.”

Lu Jingtao did not exhibit his aura like Xiao Yinxuan, but when facing Xiao Yinxuan, he exuded an indescribable confidence from his bones.

Lu Youjiu’s father, Lu Jingtao, was a cultivator in the Mahayana Realm, much stronger than Xiao Yinxuan, so he naturally had no concerns facing Xiao Yinxuan.

However.

Seeing Lu Jingtao appear, Xiao Yinxuan also showed no hint of panic.

As if everything were within his expectations.

At this moment.

Xiao Yinxuan looked at Lu Jingtao and said:

“Lu Jingtao, I truly admire you.

From an insignificant member of the Shocking Seas Alliance, you defeated all the direct disciples nurtured by the Elders and climbed step by step to your current position as the Alliance Hierarch.”

“Such an achievement, from the founding of the Shocking Seas Alliance to now, you are the only one, it’s truly admirable.”

“To be honest, if it were possible, I’d really like to be friends with you for a lifetime.”

Lu Jingtao looked at Xiao Yinxuan and said:

“But you still chose to be my enemy, disregarding our many years of friendship.”

Xiao Yinxuan shook his head helplessly, then replied:

“Everyone has their own ambition…”

“Although we have a good relationship, there are some things that you just can’t give me.”

“I can only try to rob and snatch for myself…”

After hearing this, Lu Jingtao’s brow furrowed slightly as he looked at Xiao Yinxuan and said:

“You’re obsessed…”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yinxuan looked at Lu Jingtao in front of him, a smile appearing on his face:

“Maybe so…”

“But I feel pretty good about it.”

Lu Jingtao looked at Xiao Yinxuan in front of him, and then spoke again:

“If you turn back now, you are still my brother, and we can be like before.

I promise all will be forgiven, and no one in the Alliance will trouble you.”

Listening to Lu Jingtao’s words, Xiao Yinxuan laughed self-deprecatingly:

“Haha…”

“All will be forgiven…”

“What a phrase, all will be forgiven!”

“Lu Jingtao, there’s no need to say anything more.

You know, since I’ve started this, I can’t turn back now, and we can’t return to how we were before.”

“It’s better for us to stand on our grounds and have a proper fight…”
