Chapter 229: Who Could That Be?

Translator: Panda Penn Editor: Chrissy

Lu Li was never warm to Xu Yaoyang. This kind of young masters was supercilious, always looking down on gra.s.s-root people like him.

Lu Li was okay being looked down on as long as others didn’t try to provoke him. Any small offenses would be fine, but Xu Yaoyang wanted Lu Li to drop to his knees? This was outrageous.

A man could not kneel to just any random person, apart from paying respect to the heaven, to earth and to his parents!

This was what Lu Ling taught him. He never knelt for anyone. Even if it was Xu Chen who forced him to drop to his knees, Lu Li would turn hostile, not to mention that the order came from Xu Yaoyang.

The Blood Evil Island was affiliated to the G.o.d-down Island. Theoretically speaking, the Yu Family was Lu Li’s master, but not strictly speaking. Even if they were real masters and servant, a cornered servant would do desperate things.

One other thing that was crucial was that Lu Li was in no fear of the G.o.d-down Island now.

There was a warrior at the peak of the Fate Wheel Realm of the Yu Family he met at the Wu Ling County, but this warrior’s Fate Wheel was cracked open by Little White easily and died in the hands of Lu Li. The most powerful warrior at the G.o.d-down Island was Xu Chen, who was at the peak of the Fate Wheel Realm. If the Xu Family put the Bai Family and Bai Qiuxue’s feelings aside and wanted a fight, Lu Li still could win.

But his words scared the bunch of disciples of the Liu Family. They all looked at Xu Yaoyang nervously, for fear that he would burst into a fit of anger and kill Lu Li.

Xu Yaoyang was indeed angered. Glaring at Lu Li who was striding towards the Blood Evil Island, he was ready to halve Lu Li with his Xuan Energy.

"Swish~"

Hunchback Tian carried out Lu Li’s order strictly. Sensing that Xu Yaoyang was about to make a move, Hunchback Tian soon rushed to Xu Yaoyang, grabbed his neck and threw him into the lake.

"Plop!"

To throw a warrior only at the initial stage of the Soul Pond Realm was mighty easy for a warrior of the Fate Wheel Realm. Xu Yaoyang was thrown into the lake before other warriors at the later stage of the Soul Pond Realm realized what was going on…

"Young Master! How dare you!"

His escort unsheathed his weapon and shouted. With a sweep kick, Hunchback Tian kicked this man into the lake before his saber was drawn.

All the Liu Family disciples were stunned. Liu Yi and Patriarch Seven looked at each other, speechless. Patriarch Nine and several others were terrified. Was Lu Li sure that this would be fine? Would Xu Chen level the Blood Evil Island in a fit of rage?

"Okay, fine, very good!"

Xu Yaoyang was in a very embarra.s.sing situation in the lake. Swiping his face, he said, "Lu Li, you have guts. Just you wait."

Neither Xu Yaoyang nor his escort was a match for Hunchback Tian. They would only be bring humiliation to themselves by attempting to fight back. Xu Yaoyang swam to his battles.h.i.+p in rage. He took control of the s.h.i.+p and spent his way back to the G.o.d-down Island in swearing. He was breathing with fire of anger, wis.h.i.+ng he could kill every single man of the Blood Evil Island.

"Island Owner!"

Liu Yi and the others finally came to their senses. They soon went after Lu Li. After she caught up with him, Liu Yi asked with concern, "Island Owner, about Xu Yaoy

ang…"

"Speak no more!"

Lu Li waved his hand and replied, "I am confident about this. There is nothing Xu Yaoyang can do."

Liu Yi somehow felt rea.s.sured, looking at Lu Li’s face with determination. After some thoughts, she said, "Lady Qiuxue and Lady Xiashuang are waiting for you at the Dragon Elephant Mountain. I have sent someone to tell them that you are back."

"Oh?"

Lu Li felt touched as he thought about the two beautiful girls. He nodded and said, "I will pay them a visit now."

Lu Li took Hunchback Tian with him and strode towards the Dragon Elephant Mountain. Just as he climbed to the peak, he saw two identical pretty girls in the gazebo in front of his fortress.

One of them was standing, appreciating the scenery in the distance. The other was enjoying tea quietly. The twins both chose a delicate silk dress in white color and they even had the same hairstyle. They were wearing white long earrings, which made them appear even more elegant.

Without giving it much thought, Lu Li could tell that the one standing must be Bai Xiashuang, and the other one sitting there was Bai Qiuxue. He made an eye contact with the latter, and both their eyes lit up.

The reason for Bai Qiuxue to have this reaction was that Lu Li appeared to be more masculine now. He had lost some weight, which gave him a more experienced look. After spending so much time sleeping and dining in the wild, Lu Li looked tanned and unshaven. Also, by putting on a killing spree at the Wu Ling County, there was some handsome element in him. Bai Qiuxue felt that some emotions in her was getting stronger.

When she was a kid, she was already surrounded by a group of young masters, which continued till today. Those young masters were good-looking for sure, but they had spent their lives in extravagance and indulgence. Naturally, they would appear to be more delicate than masculine.

A lone wolf, a rebellious lone wolf!

At this moment, to Bai Qiuxue, Lu Li was like a lone wolf, completely different from the other young masters of the Thousand-island Lake. This kind of untamed manner that had come with his gra.s.s-root origin, and a unique temperament that had come after sufferings and ordeals and could not be faked by those spoiled young masters.

Bai Qiuxue stood up and Bai Xiashuang looked back, though the latter didn’t get too emotional. Instead, the latter said with a giggle, "Lu Li, finally, you are back. We thought you were dead."

Lu Li walked up to them, bowed and said, "Thank you so much for helping me out. I will carry your kindness to my heart and I owe my life to you."

"Hee, hee!"

Bai Xiashuang stuck her tongue out, enjoying those words very much. Bai Qiuxue, however, shook her head and said, "Lu Li, we don’t owe each other anything. Previously, you have saved us at the Tomb of the Dragon King and now we can call it even. I said that no matter what happens, we will always be friends. Shouldn’t we help out a friend in distress?"

Lu Li said nothing more. He was not a man fond of nonsense. He would take this to his heart simply. Before he could say anything else, Bai Qiuxue continued, "What is more, we didn’t offer too many help this time. We just held back some powerful warriors of the Yu Family for you. It is your ability that made you alive!"

Lu Li replied, "You have helped a lot. Not only did you stop the powerful warriors of the Yu Family, you also cleared out many scouts of the Yu Family for me. Otherwise, I would have died before I could make it to the Wu Ling County."

"I think you have made a mistake!" Bai Qiuxue said with a straight face, "The man helping you kill all the scouts is not a powerful warrior of the Bai Family. Lu Li, actually, I want to ask you who that man is?"

"Ah?"

Lu Li was caught by surprise. Then he asked with confusion, "Lady Qiuxue, are you sure that he is not a powerful warrior of the Bai Family? That is impossible! Apart from you, who else will do this for me?"

The people of the Cyan Phoenix Race couldn’t come out now. Ming Yu never showed up at the Blood Evil Island after last time which meant that he believed Lu Li was not the son of Lu Renhuang, so he wouldn’t help Lu Li. Who could it be if not a powerful warrior of the Bai Family?

Bai Qiuxue kept checking Lu Li’s expressions and eyes. She was also confused when she made sure that Lu Li was not lying. She shook her head and said, "Grandpa Xi said he didn’t send that man so he does not belong to the Bai Family. That man should be at the Eternal Realm. Apart from those at this realm in our Bai Family, there are three Family Patriarchs of Fourth Rank Families. Do you know them?"

"No!" Lu Li shook his head. He was not even sure which families were the three Fourth Ranked ones.

Bai Xiashuang jumped in, "Then Lu Li, do you know other warriors of the Eternal Realm?"

Lu Li said with a bitter smile, "Lady Shuang, I was born at the Di Long Tribe. One year ago, I was pulling coffins for the Liu Family. I only got to the Thousand-island Lake because we were being pursued. Do you think I can know other powerful warriors of the Eternal Realm?"

"Then who is it?"

Bai Qiuxue murmured with a frown. The three of them fell into deep thoughts, trying to figure out the ident.i.ty of the powerful warrior.
