CHAPTER 38: CHAPTER 38: HE COULDN’T POSSIBLY KNOW THE PAVILION MASTER

Xu Baiye was conflicted, unsure of whether Lu Xiao was bluffing or truly had a connection with the Pavilion Master.

If it was the latter, offending Lu Xiao would mean offending the Pavilion Master, which would be big trouble.

But if Lu Xiao had only accidentally come to know of these secrets of the White Clothes Pavilion, letting him go might also lead to punishment from the Pavilion Master.

"Mr. Lu Xiao, do you know the Pavilion Master?" Xu Baiye took a deep breath and asked.

It doesn’t hurt to ask first.

There wasn’t a hurry anyway, and this was the Xu’s residence, with over twenty people surrounding him, the initiative was in his hands, Xu Baiye’s hands.

Lu Xiao didn’t answer Xu Baiye, instead, he pointed at Qin Kai: "My cousin wants a drink."

Qin Kai’s heart trembled, Lu Xiao, can you not do this?

When can’t we drink? Let’s try to figure out a way to leave the Xu Family first.

Xu Baiye narrowed his eyes, was Lu Xiao stalling for time?

It seems, the chance that this kid really knows the Pavilion Master isn’t high.

"Fine!" Still, Xu Baiye agreed, it’s only stalling for time, and I’d like to see what you’re up to!

"Xiao Tian, go get the wine and some dishes."

Xu Tian was completely flustered.

"Dad, Lu Xiao is talking nonsense, how could he possibly know the Pavilion Master!" Xu Tian didn’t believe a word from Lu Xiao.

You think our White Clothes Pavilion Master is just anyone, you claim to know him just like that?

Not to mention looking at your own level!

Even I have only seen the Pavilion Master’s back from a distance once.

"Does my word not matter anymore?" Xu Baiye frowned.

"Going right now." Xu Tian turned and left, fearing another fierce scolding.

Ten minutes later, the drinks and dishes were served, and Lu Xiao ushered Qin Kai and the Xu father and son to sit down.

A square table, just right for four people.

"Cousin, don’t be shy, eat and drink as much as you like, just like you’re at home." Lu Xiao patted Qin Kai on the shoulder, then started to drink and eat.

Qin Kai’s muscles twitched in the corner of his eyes, your way of usurping power is extremely smooth indeed.

But seeing Lu Xiao had started showing off, Qin Kai didn’t hold back anymore.

With a table full of drinks and dishes finished, both Lu Xiao and Qin Kai were quite satisfied.

The Xu family’s cooking was indeed excellent, comparable to a five-star hotel.

"Mr. Lu Xiao, we’ve eaten and we’ve drunk, so what now?" Xu Baiye, who had been silent the entire meal, finally spoke up.

Lu Xiao looked up at Xu Baiye, his expression a mix of a smile and non-smile.

"What now?" Lu Xiao countered.

A glint of murderous intent flashed in Xu Baiye’s eyes, "Mr. Lu, you said you know the Pavilion Master, then please produce some evidence; otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude."

"There definitely is no evidence, how about, you make a move and see?" Lu Xiao’s fingers lightly tapped the tabletop.

Xu Baiye breathed somewhat rapidly.

He, of course, wanted to make a move right away, but Lu Xiao was just too calm, and he feared what if.

"Dad, he couldn’t possibly know the Pavilion Master!" At this moment, Xu Tian suddenly seemed to grasp something, and fiercely slapped the table.

Xu Baiye looked at Xu Tian, signaling him to continue.

"Yesterday I gave Qin Kai the contact information for the White Clothes Pavilion, and Qin Kai placed an assassination order on Lu Xiao there."

"Every assassination order at the White Clothes Pavilion eventually makes its way to the Pavilion Master’s review."

"If the Pavilion Master had a relationship with Lu Xiao, how could he allow the assassination to proceed!"

"I just checked; Lu Xiao’s assassination order is still in progress."

Having said this, Xu Tian’s face already wore a triumphant smile.

Lu Xiao, you’re done.

The murderous intent in Xu Baiye’s eyes was no longer hidden.

Xiao Tian’s analysis was logical and well-founded, it seems this Lu Xiao was merely bluffing.

"Control Qin Kai, as for Lu Xiao, regardless of life or death!" Xu Baiye waved his hand.

The twenty or so people around surged forward once more.

Qin Kai glanced at Lu Xiao, somewhat helplessly.

See, I told you not to come, but you insisted, now you’re done for.

I might live a few more days at least, but you’re probably going to end up dead right here.

"Stop!!" A furious shout echoed through the villa.

Then, two figures rushed in through the door.

Seeing who it was, Xu Baiye’s face instantly turned pale.

The Pavilion Master! And the Divine List powerhouse, Hu Sheng!

Could it be, Lu Xiao was stalling for time, waiting for the Pavilion Master to arrive?

For the Pavilion Master to rush over in such haste, the relationship between him and Lu Xiao was no trivial matter!

Damn it!

At this moment, Xu Baiye wished he could strangle Xu Tian, damn it, didn’t you adamantly say the Pavilion Master didn’t know Lu Xiao just now?

"Lu Xiao! Up on your feet to greet the Pavilion Master!" Xu Tian suddenly roared.

While he didn’t recognize the Pavilion Master, he had seen Hu Sheng.

In the entire White Clothes Pavilion, aside from the Pavilion Master, who else could command a Divine List powerhouse?

"Shut up!!" Xu Baiye gritted his teeth and hissed at Xu Tian.

How could I, Xu Baiye, have such a foolish son, dammit!

At this point, Lu Xiao also couldn’t help but laugh, turning to look at Jiang Lan, "Pavilion Master Jiang, do I need to stand up?"
