Chapter 1638: Chapter 1640: Masterful Tactics
Lu Xiaobu returned to Yang Feng.
Yang Feng’s attitude remained the same, with a mix of smiles and worries.
It seemed that her attempt to learn secretly today hadn’t found a true solution.
However, she did gain something.
At the very least, someone reminded her of the most crucial point: people from the Small World cannot advance their cultivation once they reach the Golden Core Stage.
So, if you seize this point and offer help, this kid will surely acknowledge this master.
Yang Feng had a sudden realization.
Indeed, today she had already caused a fuss.
She said she wanted to secure a spot for Lu Xiaobu.
Opportunities are everywhere. Although the core region says there are only three spots a year, that applies to loose cultivators without any background.
Some large cities still manage to get a few spots.
However, the competition is quite fierce.
Of course, Yang Feng certainly didn’t receive any today. After all, Lu Xiaobu just arrived, and under such uncertain circumstances, if the higher-ups gave a spot, it would be a miracle.
So, Yang Feng was pleased and planned to make another trip tomorrow.
"You’re back. You did well today, now take a rest." Yang Feng nodded, not knowing what else to say.
"En." Lu Xiaobu nodded, heading to the room.
He knew there would be a lot to do tomorrow.
The night passed without incident.
As expected.
Early the next morning, someone came to summon Lu Xiaobu.
"Lin Feng, my master invites you."
It was the housekeeper who brought wine to Lu Xiaobu yesterday.
"Okay, where?"
Lu Xiaobu nodded.
"Xuanhe Building."
After the housekeeper spoke, he left.
Yang Feng didn’t see him; she had already run off to the school early in the morning to cause trouble.
Lu Xiaobu leisurely tidied up and headed to the Xuanhe Building.
"Are you Lin Feng?"
The person at the door had evidently been waiting and asked when they saw Lu Xiaobu.
"Yes." Lu Xiaobu nodded.
"Then go up." After speaking, the person sat back down, looking drowsy, but a sharp gleam flickered in his eyes.
He went upstairs.
"Sit." General Ji, sitting at the head position, gestured for Lu Xiaobu to sit down.
Then, silence fell.
General Ji continuously scrutinized Lu Xiaobu.
After a long time.
"Good!" General Ji nodded seeing Lu Xiaobu’s composure: "I have a matter, would you be willing to help?"
"I’m not willing." Lu Xiaobu refused firmly: "Don’t say anything, I won’t listen."
"Do you know what you’re saying?" General Ji squinted his eyes, a murderous aura rising.
"I clearly know." Lu Xiaobu said calmly.
The two faced each other once again.
Finally, General Ji laughed.
"If you succeed, I’ll give you a spot to enter the core area! You should already know how difficult it is for people from the Small World to break through to the Golden Core Stage," General Ji said leisurely.
It was a warning to Lu Xiaobu that he had already investigated his background.
"Is that true?" Hope flashed in Lu Xiaobu’s eyes.
"I always speak the truth!" General Ji smiled contentedly, then turned serious: "Provided you can survive!"
"I understand that survival comes before profit." Lu Xiaobu nodded: "But why has General Ji chosen me?"
"You just arrived! Know nothing! Divine Body!" General Ji spoke calmly.
"General Ji is impressive!" Lu Xiaobu squinted slightly.
The matter of the Divine Body was only known by Yang Feng, yet General Ji managed to get wind of it—he wasn’t simple at all!
It seemed, just as he suspected, General Ji had long been prepared for these matters.
Indeed, otherwise, how could one sentence from Lu Xiaobu sway the heart of such a cunning old fox?
"What should I do?" Lu Xiaobu narrowed his eyes.
"Kill Ji Huang!" General Ji’s eyes were sharp!
That startled Lu Xiaobu’s heart.
He thought there were other options, but General Ji surprisingly planned to deal with his own son directly!
Ruthless! Merciless!
Seeing Lu Xiaobu’s expression, General Ji sneered: "Thinking of the saying about how a tiger would not eat its cubs?"
"Ridiculous! Cultivators have long lifespans, just a useless son!"
In his words, General Ji’s eyes were full of sharpness.
"You’re truly strategic!" Lu Xiaobu understood.
It seemed Ji Huang, ever since he started indulging himself, had been marked as a sacrificial piece by General Ji.
The usual indulgence and affection seemed to be a show for others.
Just waiting to be used as cannon fodder when the time comes!
"At least make his value worthwhile." General Ji said lightly: "After killing him, flee the city to Yuchi City! Someone there will assist your entry, but how you survive afterward is not my concern!"
"What about my benefits?" Lu Xiaobu narrowed his eyes: "If I am lucky to survive, I’d become a traitor. How would you provide the benefits?"
"You’re quite confident!" General Ji sneered, then pulled out a token from his bosom: "Take this!"
Lu Xiaobu accepted it, taking a look as though there was nothing special!
"As long as you hold this token, I guarantee you’ll enter the core area unhindered!" General Ji said calmly.
But then, his tone turned murderous: "If you run away..."
"No worries, General, I’ve nowhere to run." Lu Xiaobu cupped his hands.
"You’re quite sensible!" General Ji was satisfied.
"When?"
Lu Xiaobu asked again.
"Tomorrow noon Ji Huang will come to this Xuanhe Building!" General Ji said calmly.
At that moment, his gaze was directed outside, just in time to see Ji Huang stepping out, arrogant and unrestrained, no one daring to intervene!
Yet, in his eyes, there was not a trace of the usual fatherly affections.
"But wouldn’t just killing Ji Huang be insufficient grounds for you to provoke war?" Lu Xiaobu said calmly.
Just for Ji Huang, he didn’t believe the City Lord of Hengqin City would directly go to war!
"I have other plans, you don’t need to worry." General Ji said lightly.
"What about my cheap master?" Lu Xiaobu asked again.
Hearing this, General Ji laughed: "You’re quite loyal."
After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "I’ll look after her a bit, but she cannot stay in Hengqin City."
At this, he fell into contemplation, evidently planning Yang Feng’s route.
After considering, he looked eastward, his eyes flickered: "Isn’t that Four City Alliance Leader causing trouble? Let her go there!"
Lu Xiaobu’s eyes sharpened—this was a triple play!
On one hand, provoking war, and on the other, using the indignant, expelled Yang Feng’s fury to strike at Gourd Waist, yet allowing Yang Feng, having nowhere to go, to settle at Gourd Waist.
In this way, Gourd Waist became a force that seemed supported by a Nascent Soul Stage but had no foundation. Any excuse, and it could be taken down!
Brilliant skills, excellent scheme!
However.
Lu Xiaobu’s mouth curved up—you just don’t know, I am the Four City Alliance Leader!
