Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1526: Chapter 1528: Beat Them to Death

Chai Tao lowered his head and walked out, but his heart was filled with rage.

He’s not actually from Linren City, just someone who cultivates alongside Lin Lei.

It was merely because he learned Lin Lei is the City Lord’s son that he wanted to cozy up and get some benefits.

He’s been offering strategies, gathering intelligence.

And what did he get in return?!

Once the benefits are acquired, he’s just told to stay aside?!

He’s not stupid; someone who even makes City Lord Linren take notice is absolutely no ordinary person!

Lin Lei, you were ruthless first, so don’t blame me for being unfaithful!

On the cultivation path, if you don’t look out for yourself, heaven will punish and earth will destroy.

If I’m nice to you, it’s because I’m counting on you for benefits. If you treat me as an outsider, then I’ll just walk away!

Expecting me to loyally be your henchman?

Dream on!

Well, the chance of encountering a God is slim, so the main goal is to find that Lu Xiaobu from before and take him away.

Just tell him Lin Lei saw the wanted notice and is planning to take action against him.

...

Meanwhile, Chai Tao walks out.

Lu Xiaobu also arrived at the City Lord Mansion with the crowd.

”Is this what your City Lord Mansion looks like?” Lu Xiaobu frowned at the not-so-large building in front of him.

In his mind, the City Lord Mansion should either be magnificent and splendid or at least awe-inspiring.

Instead, it’s not much different from the damned Xue Family!

”Cough, cough, cough!”

Tu Hejiu, hearing this, was instantly embarrassed: ”Well, cultivators don’t care about these worldly things.”

Though he said outwardly that he didn’t care, inwardly he thought—ridiculous! Isn’t it just poverty!

Linren City isn’t a big city, and by Heavenly Dynasty standards, this place at most counts as a county, not even a prefecture-level city.

Then, fearing Lu Xiaobu would say something shocking again, Tu Hejiu hurriedly whispered: ”God, please wait in the guest room. I’ll notify the City Lord.”

”Go ahead.” Lu Xiaobu nodded.

Afterward, Tu Hejiu gestured to the four people from the Jiang and Wu families, indicating for them to follow.

Since they were called here, let them serve their purpose.

To let the City Lord learn about this God in advance and avoid any missteps.

Lu Xiaobu didn’t mind, and after they left, he wandered into the courtyard of the City Lord Mansion.

There was a weapon rack here, too, but it was covered in dust, evidently unused for a long time.

Lu Xiaobu was quite interested and walked over to inspect it from different angles.

And then.

”Why are you here?!”

Chai Tao’s surprised voice came through.

”Long time no see.” Lu Xiaobu laughed at Chai Tao.

This little clever fellow left a strong impression on him.

”Did they tell you to come?!” Chai Tao’s eyes darted as he suddenly asked.

”Yeah.” Lu Xiaobu nodded.

”Alright! Alright!” Chai Tao’s expression suddenly turned ferocious.

He understood, he understood.

It must be that Lin Lei wants to kick him out, so he directly brought Lu Xiaobu to the City Lord Mansion.

Lin Lei, you’re ruthless!

But I, Chai Tao, am not made of mud either!

This clever little fellow completed his brain supplement once more!

”Come! Quickly! Lin Lei wants to deal with you. Follow me, that’s your only chance!” Chai Tao whispered to Lu Xiaobu.

”What?!” Lu Xiaobu frowned, deal with him?

”It’s true, absolutely true, I heard it myself. They’ve found your wanted notice and plan to turn you in for money!” Chai Tao had an expression like everything he said was the absolute truth!

Lu Xiaobu frowned even deeper, what’s really going on?

Seeing Lu Xiaobu unmoved, Chai Tao grew anxious: ”Do you think I would lie to you?”

”Or do you believe being with them is safer?! Think about it! I’m all alone, while they are so many. Which is safer, can’t you tell?!”

”You make a valid point, but...” Lu Xiaobu still couldn’t figure out what was going on.

”Like this, I also heard another piece of information; they’re expecting a God. Follow me, I’ll take you to find that God, and we can make a fortune together!” Chai Tao gritted his teeth and upped his stakes again.

”A God?” Lu Xiaobu’s mouth twitched.

He seems to be realizing, did this clever guy just create another brain supplement?

”Why don’t you listen to reason?” Chai Tao became even more anxious!

Then suddenly, he froze.

No, no, I’ve said it to this extent, why is this person still unmoved?

Could it be, I guessed wrong?!

Could it be!

Chai Tao thought of a possibility, his pupils instantly dilated, and he stepped away from Lu Xiaobu.

He understood!

He understood again!

Wait, why again?!

He understood Lin Lei’s motive, Lin Lei not only wants to embezzle the benefits but also intends to murder to silence!

Precisely for this reason, Lin Lei brought Lu Xiaobu in, accusing Lu Xiaobu of being exiled for cash, and it was Lin Lei who betrayed Lu Xiaobu!

This was the cause of Lu Xiaobu’s hesitation earlier!

Yes! This must be it!

Must be right!

For former City Lord Young Master Lu Xiaobu, he would certainly trust another City Lord Young Master Lin Lei more!

So that’s it!

Upon realizing this, Chai Tao’s eyes gradually turned vicious, killing intent evident: ”You want me dead, I won’t let you live either!”

”What the hell is this situation?!”

Lu Xiaobu was dumbfounded!

He considers himself fairly clever, but why can’t he figure out what this clever fellow is thinking?!

He was just negotiating profit-sharing with him a moment ago, yet the next second he’s ready to attack?!

”Swish!”

Chai Tao drew the sword from behind his back, aiming at Lu Xiaobu: ”Face my challenge!”

Lu Xiaobu’s mouth twitched.

So, should I beat him to death, or beat him to death, or beat him to death?

And just then.

”Chai Tao, what are you doing?!”

Lin Lei, who had come out with Linren, shouted at the sword-drawing Chai Tao.

They were about to meet the God, and Chai Tao was causing trouble already?!

Moreover, he even brought Lu Xiaobu in?!

What exactly is he up to?!

This is the God who can enhance Spirit Roots; if they provoke the God, none will fare well!

”Hahaha, indeed they came!” Chai Tao, seeing Lin Lei and hearing his rebuke, was instantly certain of his guess.

Then, he switched targets, glaring fiercely at Lin Lei: ”I initially pledged my heart to the moon, alas the moon shines over the ditch! Lin Lei! Come on! Today it’s either you die or I die!”

”What the hell is happening?!” Lin Lei watched the attacking Chai Tao, also baffled!

Can someone come out and explain?!

Why is Chai Tao, who just parted ways with him, now attacking him?!

Possessed?!

Then he thought of a possibility!

Suddenly, Lin Lei glared viciously at Lu Xiaobu: ”Is it you?! You’re leading Chai Tao astray?! I kindly saved you, and you still harm me?!”

Lu Xiaobu rubbed his temples!

Should I beat them to death, or beat them to death, or beat them to death?
