Chapter 721 My Own Business

Wu Li smiles bitterly.

It has been a while since he knew Wu You and Wu Jinxiu.

Of course he knows something about them.

As such, he has been nursing a grievance.

Although Wu Li is young, he is not an idiot. Hence, it is not that he has no idea but that he has been pretending that he doesn’t know. This is probably a way of self-deception.

Although Wu Jinxiu and Wu You have been very careful and covert, they still inevitably give themselves away in front of Wu Li who spends a lot of time with them.

However, for a long time, Wu Li has always chosen to bury his head in the sand.

In this case, he sees nothing.

He knows nothing.

He takes pains to maintain the trust even though the trust has been completely ruined.

As long as he doesn’t point it out, it won’t be true then.

Yet, hearing Yue Xincheng lay it bare, he still finds it unacceptable for the moment.

He clenches his fists tightly.

He yearns to snarl, roar, do something he always wants to do, say something he always wants to say, but he knows he cannot.

When he realizes he cannot always voice out his thoughts and do whatever he wants to do, he learns that he has actually grown up. That is probably the price of growing up.

…

“You are so mean,” Xia Lu says to Yue Xincheng.

“I learn it from you,” Yue Xincheng says modestly.

Xia Lu grins, “I’ve set a bad example for you.”

Yue Xincheng scratches his head and feels too embarrassed to refute.

Indeed.

When Xia Lu just knew them, she appeared very cold and elegant. Faced with those she disliked, she couldn’t be bothered to say an extra word. Now, she is quite different. Although Xia Lu is still very cold and elegant, she will say something harsh to those who she dislikes. Seeing their desperate facial expressions, she still feels a sense of satisfaction. As a saying goes, one takes the behavior of one’s company. Since she has spent much time with Gao Ge and Yue Xincheng, she is inevitably affected to some degree.

After all, Xia Lu doesn’t think it is a shortcoming.

At least, when she does such a kind of thing, Xia Lu feels elated deep in her heart.

“Is what you said just now true?” Xia Lu asks.

“Yes, it is.” Yue Xincheng nods.

“How do you know?” After asking, Xia Lu seems to have guessed Yue Xincheng’s answer. Hence, she says, “Don’t tell me it is pretty obvious.”

Yue Xincheng grins.

Xia Lu has become smarter indeed.

“Actually, it is quite simple. If you don’t want to be disclosed, you had better not do it! This is the news from the Dragon Court,” Yue Xincheng says.

Xia Lu feels confused, “You are not a member of the Dragon Court now.”

“I’m not but my half-master is,” Yue Xincheng answers.

Xia Lu doesn’t continue asking.

There are more and more people at the foot of the mountain.

Quite some people rush here after hearing of the news just in case that they may miss such a marvelous battle.

Although they don’t have the time to run up the mountain, for them, it has been a wonderful thing to stand here feeling the sword Qi.

“I’ve broken it through!” At the foot of the mountain, someone suddenly shouts in an ecstasy of delight.

Some people immediately cast an envious glance at him.

The insanely talented people like Gao Ge, Yue Xincheng, Xia Shengtang and Xia Lu are exceptions.

Generally, it won’t be an easy thing for ordinary cultivators to break through their cultivation level.

If one wants to obtain an opportunity to break through, he must work hard at cultivating and encounter a good turning point.

The battle of River Breaking Mountain is a suitable turning point for them.

Therefore, these cultivators who arrive here mostly want to take the opportunity to break through their cultivation levels. Yet, it is possible but it is not likely. A cultivator who can succeed in breaking through is really enviable for the others…

A black car stops behind them.

Xie Zhuolian sitting in the car frowns.

“Uncle Lu, here we are. It seems that we are late. They have been fighting?” Xia Zhuolian says.

Uncle Lu turns around and looks at Xie Zhuolian, asking in a low voice, “Your Ladyship, do you need me to help?”

“Let’s wait and see first,” Xie Zhuolian says.

“Okay.”

The two of them get off the car and the driver leaves. He is also a member of the Xie Family, a spy planted in Song City.

“Your Ladyship, the opponent who Gao Ge faces this time seems tough to deal with. If we go and help him now, maybe we can let Gao Ge owe us one,” Uncle Lu says.

He doesn’t forget what he escorts Xie Zhuolian out of the Xie Family for.

Hence, in his eyes, there is a good opportunity now.

If he helps Gao Ge deal with a tough opponent, he believes that Gao Ge won’t reject the Xie Family’s invitation even if he doesn’t feel deeply grateful.

After all, it is not a bad thing for Gao Ge.

“We had better not.” Xie Zhuolian shakes her head.

Uncle Lu is a bit surprised, “Your Ladyship, this…”

“Uncle Lu, you don’t know this. The one fighting against Gao Ge now is Xia Lu’s brother.”

“I know that but…”

“Xia Lu is Gao Ge’s good friend. Well… Maybe she will also be his girl, just like Meng Jing. Oh, you know Meng Jing, right? I’ve told you about her before.”

Uncle Lu takes a tumble and laughs, “It turns out to be their personal affair. No wonder.”

He feels a bit grateful. Thankfully, he has respected Xie Zhuolian’s thoughts. If he really rushed forward to help, Gao Ge would give him a beating rather than appreciate his help. It is like a couple fighting at home, which has nothing to do with outsiders. If the woman’s bestie comes to beat the man too, the bestie will probably be beaten by the couple.

Anyway, Uncle Lu can’t help sighing.

Gao Ge seems quite attractive to women!

Tsk.

Does he have two gorgeous girlfriends?

This is probably what every man wants!

“Let them finish the fight first,” Xie Zhuolian says.

“Okay,” Uncle Lu touches his chin and whispers, “Your Ladyship, shall we help with the Wu Family’s matter?”

“Well?” Xie Zhuolian is dazed with mixed feelings that are part expectation, part worry. “It is a good way but I guess my family won’t agree. After all, my family won’t be willing to breed enmity with the Wu Family.”

Among the blessed spots, the Wu Family is neither the strongest nor the weakest.

If the Xie Family really breeds enmity with the Wu Family, they will be really in trouble.

Uncle Lu thinks about it and doesn’t continue talking. This is what he dithers over.

Faced with a good opportunity, he cannot take it.

This is a kind of torture.
