Chapter 126 - He’s Mr. Lu?
Even Li Hongjun, who had elected to root for Song Shijie initially, sported a different expression right there and then.
Song Shijie’s methods were simply too brutish and straightforward.
To put it simply, those were not the rules of commerce, but the rules practiced in the world of cultivators—a world where the law of the jungle reigned supreme without a doubt.
The one with the bigger stick was the righteous one.
1Not only were the winning side was allowed to strip the losing ones of all their wealth, but the winning ones could even kill the losers if they so fancied.
That had crossed the very bottom line of those who were in the game of politics and business, and it was clear that they had not been able to accept all those new rules in place.
Song Shijie paid no heed to what they wanted. He wanted a Min Province that submitted to him—a Min Province that was of use to him.
Lin Miaoyi said nothing else. She finally realized, at the moment, that she did not know what was going on instead.
He recalled how the likes of Ling Huang and Chen Nian addressed Lu Xuan.
Mr. Lu!
An expression of disbelief was seen on her pretty face right there and then, as the answer she came to was utterly unbelievable.
That Mr. Lu was none other than the Mr. Lu, who was the talk of the town as of late, and the one who was lauded as the number of Min Province.
The hype with that Mr. Lu was such that even she, who had been training in isolation, had heard of him. It was said that he was one of the pinnacle fighters to be had, whose powers were otherworldly.
Not only did he quashed schemes of the Flying Dragon Sect from overseas to invade Min Province, but it was also said that he played a key role in the retrieval of the Heirloom Seal of the Realm.
His name was spoken of for quite some time, and not a day went by without his name being brought up.
However, no matter how many times he had heard of the name, there was no way he would have linked someone of such fearsome reputation with that plain-looking young man who did not seem to be good in anything, right before her eyes.
Simply put, her impression of Mr. Lu was so deep-rooted that she would not have thought Lu Xuan to be him at all.
In his mind, Lu Xuan was but the son of a good friend of his mother, one who did not practice any form of martial arts at all. There was no way she would have thought him to be that legendary Mr. Lu.
Now that she came to think of it, she thought she had been utterly stupid.
If Lu Xuan were to truly be Mr. Lu, his powers definitely were way above hers, and it would have been difficult for her not to know just how formidable Lu Xuan was.
However, she felt frustrated at that very moment, nonetheless, wondering why had he not told her his true identity. She looked utterly flustered and appeared like a clown as a result.
Lu Xuan was entirely oblivious to the storm whipping all over Lin Miaoyi’s mind. He simply took a look at Song Shijie and said, “Weren’t you trying to force me out? I’d make you regret wanting to meet me up close and personal.”
