Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 956: Chapter 954: Who Is Really on Trial

Due to Lu Zhongping bringing up the issue of Lu Xiaobu challenging the Jianghu, everyone’s eyes began to turn towards Lu Xiaobu.

However, this time, none of them dared to agree with Lu Zhongping.

No reason, just afraid of getting embarrassed!

Lu Xiaobu’s incredible skill in dominating the entire scene had already intimidated these people.

They feared that after speaking, they’d be left utterly humiliated.

However, while they chose silence, the three Grandmasters couldn’t remain silent.

”Lu Xiaobu, do you admit to this?” Wu Weizi asked.

In fact, he felt quite helpless!

After all, at this moment, if Lu Xiaobu were to simply say—no, I never said it, it’s all Lu Zhongping’s slander—they’d have no recourse.

This was the terrifying effect of Lu Xiaobu’s previous two answers.

These Jianghu heroes appeared aggressive on the surface, but inwardly, they were already a bit apprehensive about Lu Xiaobu.

To use a Jianghu metaphor, Lu Xiaobu is an assassin—everywhere, using every means possible!

No matter how great their defenses or Kung Fu were, they couldn’t defend against such an assassin!

After all, there’s only so much one can do as a thief, but the guard cannot be on watch every day.

So, they subconsciously chose the strategy of ”I might not be able to provoke him, so I’d better avoid him!”

Therefore, Wu Weizi was actually prepared to turn today’s Jianghu Order into a farce!

Although it was humiliating, and embarrassing, there was simply no other way!

But then!

”I admit it!” Lu Xiaobu surprisingly admitted.

When these words were spoken, everyone was dumbfounded!

Lu Xiaobu admitted it?!

This tough nut actually admitted it?!

Indeed, Lu Xiaobu admitted it!

However, what surfaced in everyone’s minds wasn’t a victorious pursuit, but rather—is Lu Xiaobu playing tricks?! Is he setting a trap?!

Look, this group had become so timid!

There was nothing they could do—the inertia of events had already set in!

This is just like the familiar experiment where a shark and tropical fish are put in the same tank with a bulletproof glass in between!

The shark wants to eat the fish, so it bumps into the glass!

The first day, it gets injured.

The second day, it gets injured again.

A few days more, and the shark, in pain, finally stops bumping!

At this point, even if you remove the glass, it wouldn’t dare to bump again!

Because it’s afraid of pain!

Now, this group is like that pain-fearing shark!

Not only them, but even Wu Weizi and the other two were somewhat bewildered!

Lu Xiaobu actually admitted it!

Ling Xiaozi couldn’t believe it and asked, ”Are you saying, you acknowledge this crime?!”

”I do!” Lu Xiaobu shrugged and said, ”So, please issue the punishment!”

This time, the three Grandmasters were even more bewildered, unsure of what to say.

At this moment, Lu Zhongping was the first to react, hysterically shouting, ”He admitted it! He admitted it! Punish him! Kill him! Make him return our Lu Family’s Yuling Peak!”

After shouting, he felt extremely relieved!

Finally, he could take revenge!

Lu Xiaobu, you really have a death wish!

He turned around, wanting to see the expression on Lu Xiaobu’s face.

He felt that at this moment, Lu Xiaobu’s face must be full of fear and hatred!

However!

When he turned around, a mocking smile greeted his eyes.

The owner of that smile was—Lu Xiaobu!

Suddenly, for no reason, a sense of panic filled his heart, a kind of fear spread throughout his body!

He didn’t know why!

But this feeling was immensely strong!

Suddenly, an idea flashed, and he suddenly looked back at the three Grandmasters!

Sure enough!

The eyes of the three Grandmasters were filled with a cold light!

Their gaze wasn’t on Lu Xiaobu, but on—him!

He panicked, completely unable to understand why!

Why did the three Grandmasters have hostile eyes?!

Lu Xiaobu saw this scene and smirked.

You want to fight with me?!

Use the Jianghu Order to judge me?!

Let me see who judges whom today!

Do you wonder why the three Grandmasters looked unfavorably at Lu Zhongping?!

It’s simple!

The three Grandmasters had long been ready to turn today’s Jianghu Order into a joke due to Lu Xiaobu’s many face slaps!

But, preparations aside, the three of them obviously weren’t happy about it!

After all, if the Jianghu Order they hosted turned into a joke, they too became a joke!

So, they resented two people in their hearts!

One, the one who directly caused the face loss—Lu Xiaobu!

Two, the originator—Lu Zhongping!

This is inevitable, I’m sure everyone can understand!

But!

At this time, when they stepped forward, Lu Xiaobu obediently admitted guilt!

What is this?!

This is a hope to save face!

So, at this moment, the hatred for Lu Xiaobu in their hearts began to shrink indefinitely.

Even, we can’t rule out a bit of gratitude!

However, Lu Zhongping, who had been a joke from beginning to end, wouldn’t think that way. He would only want to seize the opportunity to eliminate Lu Xiaobu!

That’s why he had just said what he did!

But, did he now step forward to eliminate Lu Xiaobu?!

Wrong, he was making decisions for the three Grandmasters!

At the very moment when hope arose for the three Grandmasters, he gave them a slap!

And the most interesting part is that he constantly emphasized his Lu Family, not the face of the Jianghu, nor the three Grandmasters!

So, in contrast with Lu Xiaobu, the hatred for him in the hearts of the three Grandmasters began to grow invisibly!

As one diminishes, the other grows!

The Jianghu Order meant to judge Lu Xiaobu thus turned into the Jianghu Order judging Lu Zhongping!

Or to put it more simply, a good person doing good deeds all their life committing one wrong deed will be condemned!

A bad person doing bad deeds all their life doing one good deed will be eternally praised!

Lu Xiaobu is that bad person, Lu Zhongping is that good person!

Do you understand now?!

Everything was as expected!

”Lu Zhongping! Regarding the matters of Yuling Peak and your son, we’ve already discussed them, and you acknowledged them! The issue now is not about your Lu Family!” Ling Xiaozi, quite angry, shouted sharply!

”And regarding your disruption of order and turning the Jianghu Order into your family’s domain, we have decided to deal with it!” Wu Weizi followed up.

”Amitabha!” Master Zhi Xing chanted a Buddhist mantra, indicating agreement!

”What?!” Lu Zhongping was completely stunned on hearing this!

He was going to be punished?!

Why?!

Clearly, he was the victim!

Clearly, it was his Lu Family that initiated the Jianghu Order and invited the three Grandmasters!

Why was he going to be punished now?!

”I Don’t Agree!” Lu Zhongping shouted hysterically.

”Disagreement is futile!” Ling Xiaozi said coldly, ”We sentence your Lu Family to permanently relocate from Yuling Peak, never to enter again, and we will personally oversee it!”

Upon these words, the entire scene fell into a dead silence!
