When Wang Lu looked at the girl’s bright face, he felt that he was not a human being and he despised himself in his heart: Wang Lu, how could you be a beast? That girl looked like such a good person, how could you have such a dirty mind?

The girl, who was a little wary at first, saw the regretful look on Wang Lu’s face and knew that he was relatively safe for the time being. She relaxed her guard and asked in a harmless and innocent voice,

“What’s wrong? Do you know me? Why did you suddenly become silent?”

Wang Lu, who was pulled back by Jingxia Hui’s voice, finally came to his senses and said,

“Nothing, how could I know you? I haven’t been in the gym for long. I just came here by accident today. Normally, I don’t know there is such a place in the gym.”

Wang Lu did not lie to the girl. After all, what happened just now was true.

Jingxia Hui looked at Wang Lu like that and saw the sincerity in his eyes. He knew that Wang Lu would definitely not harm him, so he spoke,

“Since you are a member of the gym, I won’t chase you away. But after you leave, you must not tell anyone about this place. Okay?”

Looking at Jingxia Hui who was facing him, Wang Lu was reluctant to say those harsh words, because it would disappoint such a cheerful girl, so he nodded and said,

“Okay, I promise you, but you can’t tell anyone else, otherwise I will definitely be the one who gets punished in the end.”

Jingxia Hui listened to Wang Lu’s simple request and felt that there was no problem at all, so she nodded and said to Wang Lu,

“Okay, this little thing is no problem, but you have to play with me here for a while. I’m too bored here all day, and they won’t let me play. You’re the only one willing to talk to me. Can you stay with me for a while longer? 々~”

Hearing Jingxia Hui’s request, Wang Lu had no reason to refuse. Besides, a child of Jingxia Hui’s age would play carefree in other ordinary families. How could she be troubled by no one to accompany her?

After thinking about it for a while, maybe it was because he felt that Jingxia Hui was really pitiful. In addition, Wang Lu was worried that if he left, Jingxia Hui would be unhappy and call the guards, which would be really detrimental to his investigation.

After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Lu nodded and said to Jingxia Hui,

“Okay, no problem. I’ll play with you, but you must be careful. When your servants are about to come in, you must tell me. Otherwise, if they find out, we will both be in big trouble.”

Because they were both very cautious, there was basically no noise when they started playing.

But after playing for a while, Jingxia Hui, who had never been alone, slowly let go of herself. She felt that she was happier when playing, not as restrained as usual. It was much more fun than training Mengkepo.

So, after gradually discovering the fun in it, Inoue Hui became more and more bold.

But in comparison, Wang Lu still looked a little timid. After all, this was someone else’s territory, and he couldn’t do as much as he did in his own territory.

Jingxia Hui, who was having a good time, looked at Wang Lu, who was still not very happy. She felt that Wang Lu was here just to accompany her, and she was so happy, but Wang Lu was not as happy as she was. Jingxia Hui became a little reluctant, so she took the initiative to say to Wang Lu,

“Don’t be like this. Relax a little. We have to have fun. You said you would accompany me. If you are not happy, I will not be so happy. I will not be happy at all. Maybe I will tell my servants that you were here.”

Listening to the threatening words, Wang Lu finally realized the true meaning of the ancestor’s saying “Only women and villains are difficult to raise”. It turns out that this sentence is most useful under such conditions.

But since we are already here, we can’t just run away, so Wang Lu could only sigh helplessly and said to Jingxia Hui,

“Alright, alright, my lady, I really can’t do anything about you. Okay, I’ll accompany you and I’ll definitely make you happy, okay?”

After hearing this answer, Jingxia Hui finally felt a little happier, and then nodded, and the two of them started playing one after another.

This time, Wang Lu was not as reserved as before, but happily played with Jingxia Hui.

Because of this play, the two of them forgot that the servants would come in, and by the time they reacted, it was too late.

……

Wang Lu didn’t want to see Jingxia Yan now, so he said that his master Benzhi would come to protect him. Seeing that Jingxia Hui insisted and that Wang Lu had an identity, the servant planned to let Wang Lu go. At this time, Jingxia Yan actually came to the courtyard and asked what happened. Wang Lu had changed his appearance, but Jingxia Yan didn’t recognize Wang Lu. The servant said that Wang Lu had trespassed here. Jingxia Hui pleaded for Wang Lu. Jingxia Yan figured out that Wang Lu was Benzhi’s servant, and didn’t blame Wang Lu. Now Benzhi is already the eldest disciple of their dojo. Jingxia Hui told Jingxia Yan that she wanted Wang Lu to stay with her all the time. Jingxia Yan agreed, and Wang Lu had no choice but to stay with Jingxia Hui.

When the servants came in, they saw their usually well-behaved young lady running around the yard like a madman instead of completing the task assigned by their master before he left.

Without thinking too much, he felt that there must be something wrong with the anxious man there. If it weren’t for him, his young lady would not be what they saw.

Jingxia Hui was so absorbed in playing that he forgot about the servant coming in. When the two of them reacted, they heard the servant say,

“Miss, why don’t you practice hard instead of being with this unknown person? He is just a servant.”

Wang Lu found it a little funny to hear such double standards. He sneered and said,

“You’re the same as me, aren’t you?”

The servant felt a little embarrassed and angry after Wang Lu said this directly, so he shouted loudly to the outside,

“Hurry up, someone, the lady is in danger, there is an unknown person here…”

Originally Wang Lu thought this servant had great abilities, but it turned out that he only had the ability to call the guards outside.

Considering the skills of those guards, Wang Lu really shouldn’t have taken them seriously. However, in this situation, Wang Lu couldn’t confront them head-on and could only act according to circumstances.

Originally, Wang Lu really thought that Jingxiayan loved his daughter. After all, it was his own dojo, and one or two guards would be enough. However, he didn’t expect that there would be a large number of guards who rushed over after hearing the news. This was something Wang Lu had not expected.

In order not to reveal his identity, Wang Lu could only choose to be arrested quietly without any resistance.

Jingxia Hui on the side spoke up to defend Wang Lu, “He is not a person of unknown origin. He is Brother Benzhi’s servant. I forgot about him and left him here. Don’t cause trouble for him…”

Before Jingxia Hui could finish, the servant interrupted him and said,

“Miss, you can’t trust this kind of person easily. Don’t worry about it. I will hand this person over to the owner of the museum, and he will make the decision then.”

Hearing this, when Jingxia Hui was about to say something, Wang Lu felt that he didn’t want to see Jingxia Yan at all at this time, but given the current situation, it was simply impossible not to see him.

After thinking it over, Wang Lu could only appease Jingxia Hui for the time being and not let her cause trouble. Then he would think of a solution. So Wang Lu spoke out,

“Ms., don’t worry about me. My master, Benzhi, will definitely come to protect me. Don’t worry so much. I will find a way.”

Since Wang Lu has already said so, and I really can’t help Wang Lu in any way, if I plead for mercy, my father might get angry and choose to punish Wang Lu. After all, Senior Brother Benzhi is the eldest brother of the gym, and he can save Wang Lu anyway.

After weighing the pros and cons, Jingxia Hui had no choice but to give up and not explain anything to the servant.

At this moment, the servant beside him couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. After all, his young lady was so persistent, and the servant didn’t look panicked, so he shouldn’t be lying.

If he caught the wrong person and Brother Benzhi hated him, his life would not be so easy. After thinking about it, the servant felt that if he let Wang Lu go, Wang Lu might remember his kindness and even say a few good words to Brother Benzhi.

So, after thinking about it, when the servant was about to tell the guards to release Wang Lu, Jingxia Yan came to Jingxia Hui’s yard.

Seeing so many people standing in his daughter’s yard all of a sudden, and his usually well-behaved daughter not coming out to greet him, Jingxiayan couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled and asked,

“Hmm? What happened? Why are you all standing here? Where is my Huizi? She didn’t come to greet me, her father, today.”

After hearing the familiar voice, everyone automatically dispersed so that Jingxia Hui and Jingxia Yan could see each other.

Seeing her father coming, Jingxia Hui was a little flustered for a moment, because whether to tell her father was a very tangled matter. After struggling for a while, Jingxia Hui still wanted to tell her father and plead with her father, so she said,

“Father, I met the new servant brought in by Senior Brother Benzhi this afternoon. He accidentally broke into my yard. I was too bored alone, so I asked the servant to play with me for the whole afternoon. But my servant insisted that the servant was of unknown origin and wanted to hand him over to you. I couldn’t stop him.”

Jingxiayan listened to his daughter’s words and looked in the direction she was looking. He saw a man being caught by the guards and thought that this might be Honji’s new servant.

Because Wang Lu used the disguise technique before entering the gym, even though Jingxia Yan kept staring at him, Wang Lu was not afraid at all.

After watching for a while, Jingxiayan nodded and said to the guards who were holding Wang Lu,

“Let him go. A few days ago, Benzhi told me that he brought in a servant.”

The first half of the sentence was said by Jingxia Yan to those guards, and the second half was said to his daughter and the servants and guards, just to make everyone feel that he was not a person who favored personal feelings, and that Honji was already the eldest disciple of the dojo, and many things could be done without his knowledge, and there was no need to care about so many red tape.

Hearing her father’s words of forgiving Wang Lu, Jingxia Hui was extremely happy. Thinking of her father’s love for her, Jingxia Hui felt that she wanted more than just this.

After all, when Wang Lu was with her, she was so happy that she was many times happier than when this servant was with her.

So Jingxia Hui said to his father,

“Father, I want to keep this servant with me, can I? If he stays with me, I promise to practice hard every day, okay?”

My daughter has never been picky about servants, but this time she took the initiative to ask me for a servant. It seems that this servant really likes my daughter. How can I refuse?

Chapter 427: Hosting a Dinner Party

Wang Lu wanted to start with Jingxia Hui and secretly kill Jingxia Yan. Two days later, in order to win over the mercenaries he hired, Jingxia Yan planned to hold a dinner party. Jingxia Hui, as his daughter, also attended. Wang Lu got the news from Jingxia Hui and planned to take action at the dinner party. At the beginning of the dinner party, Jingxia Yan made a brief speech, satirizing Wang Lu for being ignorant of the world and daring to take revenge on him. Then he started drinking and didn’t take Wang Lu seriously at all. Wang Lu had been observing behind Jingxia Hui, ready to take action to end Jingxia Yan at any time. Just when Wang Lu found the opportunity to take action, a mercenary suddenly broke in and said that the people they ambushed had fought with Songmulin.

Seeing her father lost in thought, Jingxia Hui was extremely scared. She was afraid that her father would reject her request, and then she might never see Wang Lu again.

Just when Jingxia Hui couldn’t help but want to speak to urge her father, Jingxia Yan spoke leisurely,

“Okay, since you like this servant, I will give him to you. I will then bring your current servant to your senior brother Benzhi. It will be considered as a person-for-person exchange.”

Hearing her father say this, Jingxia Hui was extremely happy. After all, dealing with any servant all day would more or less have some great impact on her life.

Looking at his daughter’s happy face, Jingxiayan knew that his action made his daughter very happy. In this situation, Jingxiayan felt very satisfied in his heart.

Wang Lu listened to the conversation between the father and daughter. Without anyone asking him what he thought, he just decided where to stay.

But Wang Lu did not argue. He thought it would be better for him to be careful at this time. If he was discovered by Jingxia Yan, he would be in big trouble.

So Wang Lu wisely chose to stay in that corner alone, minimizing his presence as much as possible and not giving anyone the chance to dislike him.

But despite this, Jingxiayan was still able to spot Wang Lu at a glance and asked,

“From today on, you will leave Benzhi’s place and come to this courtyard to take care of the young lady. Are you willing?”

Listening to the tone of the inquiry, it didn’t seem friendly at all. Instead, it felt like a notice to him. However, Wang Lu naturally didn’t dare to say these words out loud, so he could only pretend to be willing and answered with a smile,

“Master, I am definitely willing to do so. Don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of the young lady.”

Just like that, the farce in which Wang Lu seemed very willing to stay ended.

Except for the servant who was about to leave, everyone else either felt nothing or was very happy. In short, no one felt sad about the servant leaving.

The servant who was arranged like this didn’t dare to say anything and could only leave very reluctantly.

At this time, Wang Lu had already made a secret plan in his mind.

Because I stay with Jingxia Hui, I will definitely see Jingxia Yan more often. Then I can take advantage of some opportunities and kill Jingxia Yan.

However, Wang Lu was thinking these words quietly in his heart, and he did not show any of his thoughts on his face, because if he revealed even a little bit, tomorrow might be the day when his body would be collected.

Time passed slowly, and Wang Lu had waited for a good opportunity to assassinate Wang Lu.

Because in order to win over those mercenaries, Jingxiayan planned to hold a dinner party to achieve his own goal.

This opportunity was a rare good opportunity for Wang Lu. After all, not only could he kill Jingxiayan in the chaos, but he could also escape at that time.

When he was still struggling with how to sneak in, Jingxia Hui came to Wang Lu’s residence and invited Wang Lu.

“Wang Lu, my father is hosting a party, and as the eldest daughter, I must go, so you just need to accompany me in. Otherwise, I will be nervous all the time, and I am afraid that something might go wrong.”

Wang Lu pretended to be very embarrassed, thought about it, and then asked,

“Miss, don’t you have any other servants here? It might not be convenient for me to go. Why don’t you find a maid to go with you? It’s always a little inconvenient for me to go with you.”

Jingxia Hui looked at Wang Lu and said coquettishly,

“Just accompany me. I’m a little scared if I go alone. I want someone to accompany me. Just accompany me, okay?”

Knowing that the method of playing hard to get should not be used too much, otherwise it will really irritate Jingxia Hui, so Wang Lu said,

“Okay, then I’ll go with you. I really can’t do anything about you. When you’re done packing, just wait for me and I’ll go with you.”

After hearing the answer she wanted, Jingxia Hui was so happy that she jumped away happily.

Looking at the departing figure, Wang Lu felt guilty for the first time, but this guilt still could not offset Wang Lu’s desire to kill Jingxiayan.

When the night of the dinner came, Wang Lu was shocked by Jingxiayan’s generosity. After all, it was the first time that Wang Lu had seen such a grand dinner for mercenaries.

However, Wang Lu did not complain to Jingxia Hui. After all, this was someone else’s home. What qualifications did he have to belittle himself here?

After the dinner actually started, Wang Lu finally saw the specific types of dishes. This time he was so shocked that he couldn’t even speak clearly.

Because this deal was so huge, I had never anticipated these things at all.

Also attending the dinner were those people who seldom show up in public but who have a certain amount of prestige in the gym.

I saw Jingxiayan holding a glass of wine and chatting and laughing with the mercenaries. Wang Lu, who had very good hearing, naturally heard every word they said.

“I’m not saying anything bad about Wang Lu. He really doesn’t know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is. He wants to seek revenge on me even with his appearance. It’s still a while before he can come over. He really thinks he can be invincible just by winning a game. It’s really ridiculous. After all, there are always people who are better than you. I am his heaven, and I specialize in dealing with people like him who don’t know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is.”

As soon as Jingxiayan finished speaking, someone started to flatter him.

“Master, the old ones are the wisest. With Wang Lu’s not-so-smart brain, what can he do to you? He will only be captured by you in the end.”

Wang Lu shifted his gaze to the person who flattered Jingxia Yan. Only then did he understand why that person was praising Jingxia Yan so much.

Because that person was defeated by him, he might want to borrow Jingxiayan’s power to eliminate him.

Looking at those clowns jumping up and down, Wang Lu didn’t take any of them seriously at all. He was just thinking about what he should do in a while to achieve the effect he wanted.

……

Jingxiayan was puzzled as to why it was Songmulin instead of Wang Lu, but he did not think much about it, and called the mercenaries to go over for support. When Wang Lu heard the news, he also understood that Songmulin was worried about him, so he followed him and wanted to help him, but he did not expect that he took the shortcut of the Abyss Forest, while Songmulin took the long way, and Jingxiayan also sent people to ambush on the long way, so they met. Wang Lu sighed, briefly talked to Jingxia Hui, and also rushed out. Jingxia Hui was worried, so he asked his senior brother Benzhi to take him to take a look. On the other side, Songmulin saw that someone was ambushing him, and was worried that Wang Lu had been captured. He was very anxious, so he wanted to quickly defeat these people who ambushed him, but Jingxiayan arrived soon, and the two met without saying much, and also started fighting.

Just when Wang Lu had been hovering there and had found a pretty good opportunity, it would be easy to leave after taking action from this angle.

Just when Wang Lu was about to make a move, mercenaries suddenly ran towards Jingxiayan from outside. Seeing this scene, Wang Lu could only give up and look for another suitable opportunity.

“Master, the people we ambushed on the way here have already started fighting with the people brought by Songmulin, but Wang Lu is not among them. I don’t know where he went.”

Hearing this, Jingxiayan couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled, so he said in a puzzled voice,

“How could Wang Lu not be here? Isn’t it that Song Mulin is most worried about Wang Lu all day long? Why didn’t he come with Wang Lu?”
