Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

”Clap, clap...”

At that moment, a series of loud slaps echoed in the hall.

The sound reverberated clearly in the living room, causing Wei Xu and the woman to freeze in their tracks.

”As expected of a Young Master of the Wei Family, you endured such humiliation at Taoyuan Restaurant, forced to kneel and slap yourself in apology, yet here you are, thinking about playing with women. Your resilience truly impresses me, truly admirable.”

A calm voice rose up, sounding particularly jarring amidst the silence of the living room.

Hearing this voice, Wei Xu broke out in a cold sweat. He was a Martial Artist of the Heavenly Realm. Yet someone had appeared silently in the living room and made a sound without him even noticing their presence. This could only mean the person’s strength was at least at the Mythical Realm.

For someone at the Mythical Realm, wanting to kill him would be all too easy.

At this thought, Wei Xu’s body trembled violently. He suppressed his inner fear and said, ”Who are you? Did Lu Tianxing send you to kill me?”

”No, no, no.”

The abrupt voice rang out again in the living room: ”Quite the opposite of what you think, Young Master Wei. I am not from Lu Tianxing’s side. On the contrary, like you, I am an enemy of Lu Tianxing, one who also wishes to tear him apart.”

As the voice spoke, a man in a suit slowly descended the staircase from the second floor. His gaze was calm, yet within that calm lay an unmistakable indifference, as if everything in his view were dead objects.

”Who are you?”

Seeing this middle-aged man, Wei Xu was so startled he nearly stood up from the sofa: ”Why should I believe anything you say? Why are you really here?”

”Young Master Wei, if you don’t believe me, do you think you can exact your revenge? As for why I’m here, naturally, it’s to collaborate with you.”

The middle-aged man smiled at Wei Xu and said, ”Do you not wish for Lu Tianxing to be left with no place of burial?”

”Why should I believe you?”

”Young Master Wei, do you think you have any choices besides believing me? Do you think the Wei Family will let you return after what you’ve done to offend Lu Tianxing?”

Hearing the man’s words, Wei Xu’s expression darkened to its most extreme, but he had to admit the middle-aged man was right. If what happened at Taoyuan Restaurant reached the Wei Family, his father would likely capture him first thing and force him to kneel before Lu Tianxing and ask for forgiveness.

Kneeling and begging for mercy before the person he dreams of killing is worse than death for him.

Wei Xu’s face twisted. Taking a deep breath, he said, ”How do you propose we collaborate?”

”My terms for collaboration are simple.”

The man looked at Wei Xu and said, ”I want to borrow something from you, something that will ensure Lu Tianxing’s death.”

”What do you want to borrow?”

”I want to borrow your life.”

In an instant, under the light, the man moved with a ghostly speed, appearing beside Wei Xu in the blink of an eye, his five fingers forming a claw, clamping down on Wei Xu’s throat as fast as lightning...

”Crack!”

A crisp sound suddenly broke out.

...

In the bright morning sun that spilled from the sky, illuminating the entire city, swept away the decay in the darkness, and once again plunged the city into a hustle and bustle, the sound rising high above to announce the start of a noisy day.

Lu Tianxing didn’t wake up naturally as he usually would but got up early to sit with Jiang Liufeng by the small lake in the backyard, drinking tea and watching the first rays of the sun slowly rise on the horizon.

”Tianxing, you’re up so early today. Why aren’t you with Zhiqing? Have you done something to upset her, and she kicked you out? Are you hoping I’ll plead on your behalf?”

Jiang Liufeng picked up the teacup in front of him, gently sniffing the faint fragrance of the calming tea, then took a subtle sip and said, ”However, I think you’ve asked the wrong person. I won’t involve myself in such matters. If you’ve made Zhiqing angry, honestly, apologize to her. I’m sure she is understanding and will forgive you.”

Upon hearing Jiang Liufeng, Lu Tianxing broke into a cold sweat. Damn, why does Jiang Liufeng see him that way? Is he really the type of guy who loves making his wife mad?

”Grandfather, do you really think I’m that kind of man?” Lu Tianxing said, exasperated.

Jiang Liufeng, upon hearing this, did not speak. Instead, he fixed his gaze on Lu Tianxing, seemingly analyzing him.

After a long moment, under Lu Tianxing’s keen expectation and frustration, Jiang Liufeng slowly uttered two words, ”You are.”

”Oh, come on!”

Upon hearing Jiang Liufeng, Lu Tianxing almost bumped his head into the stone table. Damn, must he slander his grandson like this?

Seeing Lu Tianxing’s frustrated look, a subtle smile appeared on Jiang Liufeng’s face as he said, ”Come on, tell me what’s brought you here so early in the morning. Don’t tell me you were bored and wanted to keep this old man company over tea. Even you wouldn’t believe those words.”

Dumbfounded by Jiang Liufeng’s words, a wry smile crossed Lu Tianxing’s face as he said, ”Grandfather, you really see through everything. Truth is, I’ve come to say goodbye. I plan to leave Qin Island in the next few days and head back to Modu.”

This decision was something Lu Tianxing had pondered long and hard. He knew Jiang Liufeng was lonely on Qin Island, but he also realized he couldn’t stay there forever. He had more to accomplish. His enemies, the Yang Family, Tang Family, American Superman Team, Brahman, and the Church, all glared at him with murderous intent. Staying on Qin Island would only dampen his fighting spirit. To truly rise and meet the challenge, he must leave Qin Island, stepping out from under Jiang Liufeng’s protective wing.

Besides, the Creation Source Technique dictates that combat nourishes combat. Now that he’s almost at the threshold of the Late Stage of Mythical, just a hair away from breaking through, only then will he qualify to face the Yang Family and Tang Family. Otherwise, if these families move against him, he won’t stand a chance. Even surviving by luck would come at an unbearable price.
