CHAPTER 696: CHAPTER 696: YOU GET READY, I’LL KILL

Chen Fei stopped her morning exercises, she was feeling a bit irritable now.

The sudden change in Lu Xiao’s attitude made her feel panicked, impatient, and even a bit afraid of losing him.

She had never actually thought about leaving Lu Xiao, her intention was to make their relationship more normal.

But now, it seemed like Lu Xiao was really considering giving up.

She had clearly seen the expression on Lu Xiao’s face just now.

Indifferent, calm, as if... he was looking at someone completely unrelated.

Under the shade of the trees, Chen Fei clenched her fists, her fingernails almost digging into her palms.

"Last night, I should have eased up a bit."

"Why didn’t I do it, what should I do, what should I do."

Chen Fei was so anxious that she could no longer think straight.

Although she had thought before that even if she ultimately couldn’t end up with Lu Xiao, she would still silently stay by his side.

But... thinking was one thing; when it actually seemed about to happen, she realized she just couldn’t do it.

Just the thought of losing Lu Xiao, the thought of him ending up with another woman, made her heart uncontrollably convulse.

...

Unlike Chen Fei’s current panic and distress, Lu Xiao was completely captivated by the scenery of Central Island at the moment.

Things were hasty yesterday, and he hadn’t had a chance to really look around here.

Only today did he realize how impressive the scenery of Central Island really was.

The scenery was picturesque, like something out of a fairy tale.

Living here, one would surely live another ten or eight years longer.

After wandering around for a while, Lu Xiao returned to the small courtyard.

This round, he had marked three fishing spots, planning to get a fishing rod today and become a fisherman whenever he had time.

With such beautiful scenery and such a large lake, how could he not fish?

Hitting a turtle? Air force? That was not important; the process was.

Just as he was approaching the gate of the small courtyard, Lu Xiao saw the white-haired Mai Ganfu waiting at the doorway.

"What’s up?" Lu Xiao called out as he approached.

Hearing Lu Xiao’s voice, Mai Ganfu immediately turned around, his expression respectful.

"Mr. Lu, I apologize for disturbing you. But there is indeed some matter for which I need to seek your opinion."

"Hmm, go ahead."

"Just last night you killed two council members of the academy. Since I can’t reveal your identity and strength here, the academy council is making quite some fuss."

Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow, so it was this matter.

After thinking for two seconds, Lu Xiao’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Old man, are you playing a game of using me to kill for you?" Lu Xiao suddenly reached out and clasped Mai Ganfu’s throat.

With Mai Ganfu’s strength and status, he couldn’t suppress a so-called council?

Unless, this old man didn’t want to make a move himself.

Sweat broke out on Mai Ganfu’s forehead; he hadn’t expected Lu Xiao to be so perceptive.

His own explanation had almost no loopholes, yet Lu Xiao had seen through it.

"Mr. Lu, please calm down; it’s not really using you to kill someone, it’s just that some things are simpler for you to handle than for me."

"Those noisy council members are almost all from Master Level families you’ve killed."

"If I were to suppress them by force, it could lead to some riots."

"Though I could handle these riots, it would ultimately lead to a fractured war within the Holy Hall."

"Once there’s turmoil, troubles never cease."

Listening to Mai Ganfu’s explanation, Lu Xiao’s gaze somewhat softened.

That explanation just now, Mai Ganfu probably hadn’t made it up.

"Just this once." A few seconds later, Lu Xiao released Mai Ganfu’s neck.

"When you’re ready, let me know, and I’ll go kill them." Lu Xiao dropped the words and went straight into the courtyard.

Hearing that Lu Xiao agreed, Mai Ganfu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although his power was strong, he had many constraints.

If he were to suppress those council members aggressively, the whole Holy Hall would end up in chaos.

Once chaos erupted, even though he was strong, he might find himself overwhelmed and lacking sufficient strength.

But if Lu Xiao made the move, there would be no problem at all.

After all, it was personal grudge; those Master Level families had no reason to revolt.

...

In Courtyard No. 3, Lu Xiao drank a few sips of tea and then pulled out yesterday’s class schedule.

This morning, he seemed to have a class.

He wondered if his assistant had arranged everything properly.

Just as he was thinking, the courtyard door was knocked.

"Instructor Lu, it’s me, Ariel, are you there?" A clear and pleasant voice came through.

In the adjacent Courtyard No. 4, Chen Fei heard the voice and abruptly looked up.
