Chapter 40 (1/2)

That person was the Big Boss of the entire Agency of Special Affairs, and the Sea-stabilizing Holy Cudgel nailing the demons within and outside the country firmly in place.

“I was put in-charge as our Chief is on a business trip overseas. I was feeling so anxious, but now that I see you here, Mr. Lu, I feel more at peace!”

Square-faced Fatso couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Xuan. No matter who the Flying Dragon Sect sent into the mainland this time, with Lu Xuan around, all problems were as good as solved.

“Why exactly did your Chief send you guys here?” Lu Xuan asked.

Square-faced Fatso quickly answered, “We must not let these overseas powers wreak havoc as they please in Huaxia!”

Lu Xuan nodded. “Got it!”

Lu Xuan said as he waved his hand, “I need to go back to my friends. I’ll contact you at a later time!”

After bidding Square-faced Fatso goodbye, Lu Xuan returned to Lu Yuling and Guo Yuanyuan. Beside them stood a tall and well-built man, looking to be in his twenties.

The three of them chatted away passionately.

“A third of the entire village’s assets belong to our sect. I guess you could call us one of the major stakeholders of the village!” said that man in all smiles.

“I didn’t expect your sect to be this awesome, Senior!” Guo Yuanyuan replied with a slight exaggeration. Her gaze towards the man was tinged with a little bit of spiciness.

“While the matches in the morning may look exciting, the real show only starts at night. But not many know about it. Since you Juniors are here, why don’t you wait for a bit more? I’ll show you around, and I promise not to bore you!” the man offered while wearing an expression of mild smugness.

Upon seeing Lu Xuan making his way over, he asked, “This is? Do you know each other?”

Only then did the two girls notice Lu Xuan.

“Senior Li, this is the guide that Yuling’s father found for us. Who would’ve known that he would be unfamiliar with the place himself!” The disdain in Guo Yuanyuan’s eyes was visible.

When she turned to look at Senior Li, her expression became pandering. All she needed was to write on her face saying that she wanted him to flirt her.

Senior Li was very used to such a scene. He was good-looking and came from a wealthy family. While his family’s net worth of tens of millions might not be comparable to the ultra-rich, he was considered quite well-off. He had been a rich kid since he was young, so he never lacked girls who were smitten with him.

There were so many that he could not even start to count them.

However, he wasn’t that interested in Guo Yuanyuan. Instead, his eyes brightened at the sight of Lu Yuling. As he wanted to leave a good impression in front of Lu Yuling, he could only pretend not to see the flirtatious glances coming from Guo Yuanyuan.

“My name is Li Xun. What’s your name, brother?” Li Xun held his hand out and beamed brightly.

“Lu Xuan!” Lu Xuan eyed Li Xun and could not be bothered to exchange pleasantries. He could tell with one look just what kind of a person Li Xun was, and it was easy to guess Li Xun’s ulterior motives.

However, he had no intention at all to stop him. Lu Yuling and Guo Yuanyuan didn’t have the courtesy to look him in the eye even once, and it was only natural that he would wash his hands clean of their business.

If not for the sake of his mother, he would never participate in this blind date masked as a tour-guiding activity.

After his rebirth, kinship was something he cherished more than ever, especially when he had already lost it once.

So long as it wasn’t against his morals, he was unwilling to go against his mother’s wishes.

“You’re quite aloof, brother!”

Li Xun’s eyes constricted slightly. That was the first time someone had turned him down so humiliatingly. Some resentment flashed past the depths of his eyes.

However, he quickly put on a warm and welcoming facade.

“Ahh, let’s not bother ourselves with him anymore! Senior Li, tell us about the other fun that we can have at this martial arts competition!” Guo Yuanyuan snapped impatiently.
