Chapter 102: Let Your Father Come and Invite Me Himself

In fact, even Pei Yu felt that if he were in Lu Xingzhou's position, he would also go to the Huo family for a walk.

Because the Huo family is now in the limelight, no matter what, they dare not detain or kill people when they invite them to dinner, that is really handing a knife to political enemies, so this meal is absolutely safe.

Then you can go for a walk and see what the Huo family has to say.

Maybe taking advantage of this opportunity, you can get a formally recognized identity—the vast majority of people still think that Huo Shang wants a family identity or even inheritance rights. If it's just for revenge, why did Huo Yu's death have to be created as "killed by demons," and why was Huo Lu just crippled and not killed?

Various signs can feel that Huo Shang probably wants to "strive for the position he deserves," so the act of "killing his brother" is half revenge and half clearing obstacles, which is a thinking that is easy for all families to understand.

Lu Xingzhou has been using the Huo Shang identity half-truthfully and half-falsely, which is precisely to make everyone misjudge this point. The Huo family also thinks he wants family power, wants to step on everyone who bullied him, so they won't choose to send a top powerhouse to cut the grass and remove the roots.

After all, as the identity of "Princess's Assistant," it still makes the Huo family feel investment value. If they kill him directly, they will also offend Shen Tang, and they will not choose this unless it is a last resort.

Previously, letting Yang Dechang send the old house to him was also this intention, to see if it could be "reconciled." If Huo Shang is willing to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, it is not impossible to consider.

Ultimately, it's a "family matter"...... Killing a brother has to be covered up, do you dare to kill your father? It's enough to vent your anger.

Until now, no one has thought that Lu Xingzhou really just wants everyone in the Huo family to die, even Sheng Yuanyao, who has always been eating his melon, hasn't thought of it.

Therefore, the Huo family calling him back for dinner this time is really to show their cards and ask what he wants, and see if they can discuss whether Lu Xingzhou can eliminate the suspicion of Huo Lu colluding with demonic cultivators. As a party involved, he has weight in his words.

Grand Tutor Huo didn't even think that this guy would really refuse, stepping on his grandfather's face into the mud in public.

Huo Jin was even more unexpected, refused in front of Pei Yu, who was not dealing with him, and his face was flushed with extreme shame until now.

He took a deep breath, endured his anger: "You are an adult now, don't just know how to act on impulse. You should know that the family calling you back is a good thing!"

"You can enjoy this good thing yourself." Lu Xingzhou drank wine indifferently: "I only know that a normal adult will not forcibly pull guests away when others are eating. The Huo family's lack of family education is shameful to the whole capital, and it's not my fault."

"You!"

Lu Xingzhou said leisurely: "Want to speak for Huo Lu's collusion with demonic cultivators? Let Huo Xingyuan or Huo Liancheng come themselves, bring gifts and beg me! What are you, Huo Jin, worth it?"

"You dare to call the names of my ancestors and father directly!"

"Isn't a name for people to call? How, is it shameful to call the names of the Huo family?" Lu Xingzhou sneered: "Ignorant."

"Good, good, good." Huo Jin's face turned blue with anger: "Brother Pei, this person is rude, insulting my ancestors and father, little brother wants to teach him a lesson, Brother Pei won't stop me, right?"

Pei Yu raised his glass with interest: "Private grievances, the Pei family naturally won't intervene."

Huo Jin stepped forward quickly and grabbed Lu Xingzhou's shoulder: "Today I will capture you back and let my father deal with you!"

Lu Xingzhou grabbed it casually.

Clearly, the speed didn't look fast, but it was faster than the opponent. Huo Jin found that he couldn't dodge at all, and his hand grabbing his shoulder was like delivering it to his door, and his wrist was directly held.

Then a huge force twisted, and with a "click," his forearm was already dislocated.

The third-rank protector behind him didn't expect that the fifth-rank Huo Jin would be injured in one move against the sixth-rank Lu Xingzhou, just like hitting a child...... He wanted to step forward to rescue, but was a beat slow, and Huo Jin's hand was already dislocated.

Amidst the screams, Lu Xingzhou threw Huo Jin away casually and said coldly: "I don't understand, Fourth and Sixth have both suffered big losses in my hands, how dare you bark in front of me."

The protector caught Huo Jin urgently, looking at Lu Xingzhou with disbelief.

It is known that Huo Lu and Huo Yu suffered big losses in Lu Xingzhou's hands, but the incident happened outside, and no one knew the details. You could be a trap, siege, ambush, who could think that it was really a sixth-rank cripple crushing him one-on-one...... This Huo Jin's strength is not weak, and he really couldn't even take one move from Lu Xingzhou.

Lu Xingzhou said lightly: "This is the Pei family's land, and it's a friend's treat, I don't want to see blood. Take your Fifth Young Master and get out."

Huo Jin held his arm, sweating coldly: "Lu Xingzhou, you are so arrogant, my father won't let you go!"

A'nuo asked Pei Chuyun curiously: "Sister, how old is this person? Is he not weaned yet? He only said a few words when he came here, and every sentence mentions his father."

Pei Chuyun couldn't help laughing: "Yes, maybe he's not as old as A'nuo."

Several people at Pei Yu's table were laughing, Huo Jin was ashamed and angry, turned and left: "Let's go!"

Arriving with great momentum, leaving like a stray dog, a farce ended quickly. Pei Yu watched with interest, and only then opened his mouth: "Is Brother Lu really not afraid of the Huo family's revenge? It's not difficult for them to really let Brother Lu die in a dark alley."

"If they want to kill me, I will be cautious and accompany them with care, and be arrogant and slap them, what's the difference?"

Pei Yu thought about it: "If the surface is okay, they might not kill you."

"But the bigger I make it, the more they dare not kill me."

Pei Yu admitted: "Indeed. Ultimately, it's at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the Emperor is watching, the Huo family has been exhausted recently, and dare not give us any more excuses to attack."

"Look, since the result is the same, why can't I choose the way that makes me comfortable?"

Pei Yu laughed: "Not bad."

Lu Xingzhou blinked: "What's more, if I really went back with him, Brother Pei would probably draw a line with me from now on...... I'm still waiting for Brother Pei to make another appointment, I can't lose that meal."

Pei Yu laughed loudly: "Good, good. Since Brother Lu missed the Huo family's banquet, why not come to my Pei family for a home-cooked meal? Hmm, how about tomorrow night?"

Lu Xingzhou smiled slightly: "I wish for it."

Pei Chuyun held her breath next to her.

Lu Xingzhou pinched her little hand calmly, signaling her to be calm.

Pei Chuyun's face flushed slightly. Taking advantage of the serving of dishes, she quietly withdrew her hand and picked up the chopsticks.

Sheng Yuanyao glanced at the little movements of the two, but didn't care. Anyway, whose maid is not allowed to sleep with the master. She was satisfied with eating a stomach of melons, smiling and picking up food for Lu Xingzhou: "This is the dragon fish unique to the capital, try it."

Lu Xingzhou sighed: "It's not bean juice, is it?"

"What is that?"

"Nothing......" Lu Xingzhou laughed: "You said you didn't want to get involved in those things of mine, but you are so close to me without avoiding suspicion, will it have an impact on you?"

Sheng Yuanyao "cut" and said: "I'm afraid of getting involved in these, but as long as they are not sick, they won't actively provoke another enemy of my family."

"What if they judge that your family is leaning toward me?"

"What do you have that is worth relying on." Sheng Yuanyao lowered her voice: "And no one will think that you can represent Shen Tang. To put it bluntly, what you represent is ultimately just the private grudge of the Huo family."

Lu Xingzhou nodded, indeed so.

In the eyes of the Pei family, he is just a good chess piece to hit the Huo family.

Honestly, Lu Xingzhou didn't want to pull Sheng Yuanyao into this muddy water. The Pei family could consider it, but the premise is to ensure that his chess piece will not be used as cannon fodder by others.

The strength gap is a bit big...... If it weren't for wanting to enter the Alchemy Academy to plate a golden body, it would be too early to enter the capital at this time.

Of course, there are ways to play early, at least the families don't pay too much attention to him, and he won't be in the limelight.

As for Shen Tang's background, it's not easy to decide whether to use it for the time being, which might make things more complicated. At least now the eyes of the princes will not be fixed on him, a small character, but if they know that he is not just a guest minister, the result is unpredictable.

Thinking in his heart, he didn't talk to Sheng Yuanyao about these serious topics, and chatted about the changes in Xiazhou after Sheng Yuanyao left, what Chen Zhangsi promoted, and the meal was eaten happily.

Faintly, the chat between Pei Yu and Chu Qingchen at the next table came to his ears: "Brother Chu came to the capital this time, for what?"

Chu Qingchen said: "I was traveling around the world to increase my knowledge. Especially I want to see the first person on the New Talent List, Ye Wufeng of the Yama Hall. Unfortunately, I have been wandering in the rivers and lakes for several months, and I can't even see the shadow of the Yama Hall."

Pei Yu said: "For the past year, the Yama Hall has rarely appeared, I don't know if it has anything to do with their judge leaving."

"The Yama Hall doesn't rely on the judge to go out and assassinate, it should have little to do with it. Besides, the so-called rarely appearing is not that there is none, didn't Ye Wufeng kill someone in the suburbs of the capital last month?"

"So Brother Chu came to the capital, mainly to find him?"

"Yes, I don't know if Brother Pei has his news."

Pei Yu laughed: "In the suburbs of the capital last month, it doesn't mean he will always be in the capital. The Demon Suppression Division didn't find his shadow, my Pei family's news is not as well-informed as the Demon Suppression Division."

Lu Xingzhou's wine glass turned on his lips, smiling mockingly.

Sheng Yuanyao whispered: "Are you familiar with this person?"

"Familiar." Lu Xingzhou said leisurely: "An idiot who wants to compete all day long, thinks he is much better than me, shows off every day, I suspect the Yama King doesn't even remember what he looks like."
