Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 563: Chapter 561 Obedient [3rd update for the narcolepsy Alliance Hierarch]

Duan Yue heard Lu Xiaobu’s question and replied: ”I killed his son.”

”Why?”

Lu Xiaobu’s brows perked up with interest.

”His son was committing violence in the street. I went a bit too far.”

Duan Yue stated simply.

In fact, he remembered the incident very clearly. That kid had provoked him severely and was wielding a knife violently. He had no choice but to act that way!

But now, there was no point in explaining it. It would seem like he was denying his own mistakes, so he let it go.

”Oh?”

Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin, intrigued, and then turned to look at White Beard, who was struggling to contain his rage: ”Was it your son who committed the violence?”

”It’s none of your damn business!”

White Beard said furiously, but his eyes shifted, clearly feeling guilty!

”Seems like it’s the truth.”

Lu Xiaobu clapped his hands: ”Alright, this is easy to handle. I like your kung fu, and I like the way you handle things even more. How about working with me?”

”Lin Feng will protect your family, and I’ll protect you, giving you time to enjoy the joys of family life. How about it?”

Lu Xiaobu extended a very sincere invitation.

He genuinely liked this old man. It would be very appropriate if this old man stayed by his father’s side.

After all, those around his father shouldn’t be too bloodthirsty. It just didn’t feel right.

This Duan Yue, having cultivated his character for so many years, yet still possessing strong kung fu skills, was just perfect!

Imagine it – two old men strolling and chatting, practicing tai chi, cultivating their character. At critical moments, Duan Yue could even protect his father. How perfect would that be?!

Thinking about this, Lu Xiaobu couldn’t help but smile happily.

”Really!?”

Upon hearing this, Duan Yue’s eyes, which had been filled with despair, suddenly brimmed with new life!

”Damn!”

White Beard lost it on the spot!

Damn! What the hell?!

It was one thing for Lin Feng to shelter Duan Yue’s family – after all, each to their own, and White Beard was not unreasonable.

But now, someone popped up out of nowhere, saying they would protect Duan Yue himself?

What did that mean?

Did he see him as an easy target?!

”Who the hell do you think you are?” White Beard cursed for the first time, staring down Lu Xiaobu!

Did he think he was Lin Feng?!

”Lin Feng, name your terms.”

Lu Xiaobu turned his head and said.

”Are you sure? You want to use that term on this Duan Yue?”

Lin Feng slowly stepped forward.

To tell the truth, he felt a tinge of happiness hearing that Lu Xiaobu was finally using that term. After all, without the term, Lu Xiaobu would have one less magic treasure to keep him in check.

It was quite nice.

”Of course!”

Lu Xiaobu shrugged his shoulders.

When it comes to family, there’s no weighing for him.

”Ok!”

Lin Feng nodded, then looked at White Beard: ”You can go! And don’t look for Duan Yue again. I’ve got his back now!”

Hearing the conversation between Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu, Duan Yue’s eyes gleamed with wild joy. He truly hadn’t expected the situation to take such a turn!

Now he could actually go back and enjoy family happiness!

He couldn’t help but look at Lu Xiaobu with immense gratitude: ”Thank you, thank you! From now on, I’m with you!”

Duan Yue was happy, but White Beard was furious!

”What?!”

White Beard’s pupils dilated in an instant, and he could no longer contain his anger: ”Lin Feng! What the hell?! Are you messing with me?! You said you’d only protect one side! What is this now?! Are you going back on your word?!”

”To be honest, I don’t need to explain myself to you,” Lin Feng said coldly, glancing at White Beard. ”However, out of respect for your loss of a son, I’ll say this much: I owed someone a term, and now it’s repaid. Now get lost!”

Lin Feng’s tone had become quite impolite!

”Outrageous! This is utterly outrageous!”

White Beard’s eyes brimmed with anger!

However, he did not dare to vent his fury on Lin Feng, instead, he turned his gaze toward Lu Xiaobu: ”You’re pushing people too far!”

”That’s because you deserve it.”

Lu Xiaobu couldn’t be bothered to talk to him.

”Lin Feng, you’ve protected Duan Yue, fine! But you won’t protect this one, right?”

White Beard glared at Lu Xiaobu, his eyes filled with rage!

So, this person is to be Duan Yue’s bodyguard, huh?!

Fine, he’ll just take his issues directly to this person, and the end result would be the same!

”Oh?! Interesting!”

Lin Feng’s eyebrows suddenly raised as he looked at Lu Xiaobu, then at White Beard: ”Well, this person, I’m not protecting, no problem, if you want to make a move against him, I can even make an exception and allow you to fight on the island!”

Using White Beard to test Zhang Meng and Li Jin’s true strength, what a good idea!

”Good!”

Hearing this, White Beard’s gaze sharpened even more when looking at Lu Xiaobu: ”I would like your guidance!”

Seeing this, Lu Xiaobu laughed, looking at Lin Feng with a smile: ”Not bad! Using someone else’s hand to deal with your enemy?”

”Just playing a bit.”

A sly smile tugged at the corners of Lin Feng’s mouth.

Whoever lived or died, it made no difference to him.

If White Beard lost and died, he could at least glean an understanding of Zhang Meng or Li Jin’s power limits.

And if Zhang Meng or Li Jin died or lost, then he would find a way to place a few people by Lu Xiaobu’s side.

Either outcome seemed quite favorable.

Lu Xiaobu glanced at White Beard and then turned to look at Zhang Meng: ”Do you have confidence?”

”I’m not clear on the old man’s strength, but if he’s on par with Duan Yue, no problem.”

Zhang Meng replied prudently.

Such matters were not trivial; it was beneficial to be cautious.

”Well then, go ahead and try, don’t push yourself too hard, but also don’t hold back excessively.”

Lu Xiaobu nodded.

”I understand, Young Master.”

Zhang Meng nodded in acknowledgement.

The Young Master meant that if he was no match, there was no pressure to fight.

But if the opponent was easy to defeat, there was no need to end it in one blow.

Hold back a bit!

He knew this was Lu Xiaobu taking precautions against Lin Feng.

These two masters were always engaging in silent rivalry and power plays.

Meanwhile, as they spoke, the red spots on White Beard’s forehead also disappeared, indicating Lin Feng keeping his promise, releasing him from his restraints.

Therefore, White Beard was no longer as inhibited, his expression growing even more volatile, his joints cracking with loud snaps!

However, at this moment, his gaze was no longer on Lu Xiaobu, but on Duan Yue!

”Duan Yue, no more hiding! They’ve protected you, now it’s your turn to protect them! Though the process was a bit convoluted, the end result will be the same!”

White Beard, like a cheetah, fixed his eyes on Duan Yue’s throat!

”Alright!”

Duan Yue didn’t say much, stepping forward, readying his stance, prepared to fight.

”Hold on a moment.”

Zhang Meng stepped out, standing beside Duan Yue: ”Elder Duan, step back. It’s not your turn yet.”

”Uh?”

Duan Yue frowned, glancing at Zhang Meng: ”Young man, this old guy is pretty strong, don’t be too reckless.”

His words bore no other implication—pure authority.

”Elder Duan, I appreciate your concern,” Zhang Meng nodded, then fiercely turned his head: ”But the first rule of serving under the Young Master...”

”Obey!”
