the joke among all the forces of the Thousand-island Lake. Come, come, let’s go. The banquet is ready. All we are waiting for is for Brother Lu to join us."
Xu Yaoyang was so warm that in a moment of trance Lu Li felt Xu Yaoyang was his old friend for many years.
Xu Fangfei stood at the back. With a sweet smile and said, "Master Lu, please give me a chance to thank you for saving me."
Lu Li felt somewhat disgusted by Xu Fangfei’s smiling face. In the Tomb of Dragon King, he led people out of the maze. Xu Fangfei never showed any trace of gratefulness. Now she was pretending here?
Lu Li’s expressions remained unchanged. He smiled bitterly, clasped his fists and replied, "Young Master Xu, I can understand your kindness. I am not refusing because I cannot tell good from bad. It’s just my wounds are not completely healed yet and I just want to get back to recover. How about this? When I am completely recovered, I will go to you to apologize."
Xu Yaoyang was surprised. Detecting the firmness in Lu Li’s tone, Xu Yaoyang nodded and said, "I am over the line. Brother Lu, since you still have wounds uncured, I will not force you. We will drink another time. Come!"
Xu Yaoyang shouted. Several men walked over with several big chests. It was as if he was afraid people couldn’t see. He pointed to the chests and said, "This is just some casual presents, a token of our regard. If you refuse this, I will be crossed."
"They are really here to put on a show…"
Lu Li sighed secretly. What were they doing with so many chests? Couldn’t they just give me some top level Mystical Materials or several bottles of elixirs?
Lu Li secretly despised them. Still, on the surface, he had to act politely. He waved his hand and said, "This is too much, way too much. The Blood Evil Island is affiliated to the God-down Island. I am your subordinate. Whatever I did is within my responsibility. Don’t mention such an insignificant deed. Please don’t do this. It’s simply too much."
"Come!"
Xu Yaoyang said bossily, "Carry the presents to the battleships of the Blood Evil Island. If they don’t take them, you don’t have to come back."
"Yes!"
Several warriors of the Xu Family accepted the order. They directed carried the chests and ran toward the outside of the city. Lu Li was completely speechless. Xu Yaoyang was like a born actor. If Lu Li were anybody else, he would have shed tears of gratitude.
Lu Li had to accept the presents after made a few polite remarks. Then he exchanged some pleasantries with Xu Yaoyang, after which he got on his chariot and left.
Xu Yaoyang and Xu Fangfei gazed after Lu Li as he went. Only when Lu Li was about to vanish into the end of the street did the two rode back toward the compound of the Xu Family.
As soon as they got back to Xu Family, Xu Yaoyang’s expressions turned awful. He said coldly, "Shameless. Who do you think you are, somebody important?"
Xu Fangfei also said with distain, "That is right. The Bai Family has extended him an olive branch, and Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang sent him to the Heaven Prison City. As of now, he must think so highly of him. Is the Xu Family not good enough for him now? Hmm, if he really became a proud son-in-law of the Bai Family, he would look down on the world."
"Such a chatter box!"
Xu Yaoyang shouted deeply. He looked very unhappy. He had been wooing Bai Xiashuang for many years without being looked at seriously. A homeless dog from the Heaven Martial Kingdom, Lu Li had the honor of being sent off to the Heaven Prison City by the two pearls of the Thousand-island Lake?
"What are you yelling me for?"
Xu Fangfei pouted unhappily and said, "It’s you who don’t work hard on cultivation. Even though Lu Li is not a pleasant fella, he can kill Yu Lingxu. If you could kill Yu Lingxu, Bai Xiashuang would look at you in brand new ways."
"Hmm!"
Xu Yaohang gave out a heavy humph. He rushed into the distance with a fast speed, stopped at a corner, turned back and said, "Tell father that I am going to closed-door cultivation. I will not come out unless I reach the peak of the Soul Pond Realm. Ask father to prepare some materials for me to cast Fate Wheel. I will show Bai Xiashuang that I am no loser!"
What Lu Li worried about at the Heaven Prison City happened. Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue’s grand farewell to him kindled the fire of envy in the hearts of many young masters of the Thousand-island Lake. At least… at this moment, Xu Yaoyang was consumed with hatred for Lu Li.
