Chapter 126 - Hes Mr. Lu? (2/2)

“Lu Xuan, why are you standing out?” Lin Miaoyi asked frantically.

There was no denying just how perilous things were at the moment.

Song Shijie was a brutal person who would not hesitate to cross any line to get what he wanted. He set his sights at subduing all of Min Province, and he would kill anyone who got in his way.

She was only spared from outright retaliation, only because she was a representative of the Taichu Group.

The Taichu Group was every bit as powerful or even more powerful than the Holy Dragon Corporation. As such, she definitely had what it took to protect herself, yet she deemed that Lu Xuan would have ended up killed right away.

“Well, I was invited here. I did say that someone sent me a rather special invitation letter, telling me to show up. Am I right?”

Lu Xuan wore a faint grin and turned his gaze at Song Shijie.

He knew of Song Shijie’s true motives—the man wanted him to show up just to make it easy to have him dealt with.

“Why do you bother showing up? Don’t you realize how dangerous things are!”

Lin Miaoyi was feeling anxious and frustrated. She thought that Lu Xuan was over his head.

The world of cultivators was one where the strong preyed on the weak, and any disagreement would be settled with a fight to the death. Despite being completely different from how things were done among the common folks, that was actually a fairly normal way of doing things for cultivators.

Lu Xuan simply grinned and said, “Relax. I know what you’re worried about, but I don’t think I’m gonna die here just yet.”

“Lu Xuan, we finally meet.” Song Shijie walked over and grinned somewhat.

Lin Miaoyi said nothing else. She finally realized, at the moment, that she did not know what was going on instead.

He recalled how the likes of Ling Huang and Chen Nian addressed Lu Xuan.

Mr. Lu!

An expression of disbelief was seen on her pretty face right there and then, as the answer she came to was utterly unbelievable.

That Mr. Lu was none other than the Mr. Lu, who was the talk of the town as of late, and the one who was lauded as the number of Min Province.

The hype with that Mr. Lu was such that even she, who had been training in isolation, had heard of him. It was said that he was one of the pinnacle fighters to be had, whose powers were otherworldly.

Not only did he quashed schemes of the Flying Dragon Sect from overseas to invade Min Province, but it was also said that he played a key role in the retrieval of the Heirloom Seal of the Realm.

His name was spoken of for quite some time, and not a day went by without his name being brought up.

However, no matter how many times he had heard of the name, there was no way he would have linked someone of such fearsome reputation with that plain-looking young man who did not seem to be good in anything, right before her eyes.

Simply put, her impression of Mr. Lu was so deep-rooted that she would not have thought Lu Xuan to be him at all.

In his mind, Lu Xuan was but the son of a good friend of his mother, one who did not practice any form of martial arts at all. There was no way she would have thought him to be that legendary Mr. Lu.

Now that she came to think of it, she thought she had been utterly stupid.

If Lu Xuan were to truly be Mr. Lu, his powers definitely were way above hers, and it would have been difficult for her not to know just how formidable Lu Xuan was.

However, she felt frustrated at that very moment, nonetheless, wondering why had he not told her his true identity. She looked utterly flustered and appeared like a clown as a result.

Lu Xuan was entirely oblivious to the storm whipping all over Lin Miaoyi’s mind. He simply took a look at Song Shijie and said, “Weren’t you trying to force me out? I’d make you regret wanting to meet me up close and personal.”
