Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 724 A Childish Question

Wu Jinxiu is not killed.

For one thing, she is a member of the Wu Family anyway.

Judging from Xia Shengtang’s attitude towards the Wu Family, he seems to take the Wu Family lightly but Xia Lu is not that confident. Even if she vaguely feels that Xia Shengtang has the confidence not to take the Wu Family seriously, she still doesn’t dare to take risk.

For another, she disdains to do that.

The women of Wu Jinxiu’s kind are too gross for Xia Lu.

Killing such a woman will stain her hand.

Wu You thinks about it and still reaches out his hand to drag Wu Jinxiu up from the ground. Then, he turns around and stares at Xia Lu, saying, “Xia Lu, you are provoking the Wu Family.”

Xia Lu shrugs her shoulders, indicating that she doesn’t care at all.

On the top of the mountain, Gao Ge and Xia Shengtang have stopped fighting.

Gao Ge’s cheekiness has given Xia Shengtang a good lesson.

Now they are panting and staring at each other.

“Gao Ge, did you think it through?” Xia Shengtang says.

Gao Ge takes a deep breath.

“Either you kill me or I take Xia Lu away.”

“Do you think I dare not?” Xia Shengtang is so furious to hear that.

Actually, as long as Gao Ge says something nice, he will give Gao Ge a warning and then put an end to this.

However, a pig-headed man runs into another pig-headed man.

They tend to clash and come into conflict.

“What’s wrong with you?” Xia Shengtang says, “It is the first time I’ve met such a man like you. Are you proud? Do my family have to thank you and give you a big present?”

Gao Ge thinks about it and then says in a low voice, “Fine by me.”

Xia Shengtang picks up the sword again.

He should kill Gao Ge.

He must kill Gao Ge!

He says fiercely inwardly.

“I really can’t understand why you are doing this. You obviously don’t want Xia Lu to marry into the Wu Family and yet, you brought their people here. Aren’t you dragging the Xia Family into trouble?” Gao Ge suddenly says.

“Oh,” Xia Shengtang says, “Then?”

Gao Ge is dazed, “You don’t care?”

“Or else?” Xia Shengtang asks in confusion, “I only use the Wu Family a bit. Do I have to ask for their opinions?”

Gao Ge is speechless.

He is literally dumbfounded.

He starts to doubt whether Xia Shengtang knows what the blessed spots mean and what trouble he will make by messing with the Wu Family.

Gao Ge doesn’t fear the blessed spots.

However, he won’t mess with them first.

Given Gao Ge’s current capability, the blessed spots are still forbidden areas, which he mustn’t mess with easily.

Of course, the Dragon Court and the so-called Dragon Killers are superior to them.

Suddenly, an idea flashes across Gao Ge’s mind.

He stares at Xia Shengtang with his eyes wide open.

“You have been well prepared. Do you have a way to deal with the Wu Family?”

“It’s none of your business,” Xia Shengtang slowly stands up and says.

Gao Ge also thought it had nothing to do with him but the thought that comes to his mind is too scary.

“Did you join the Dragon Killers?” Gao Ge asks.

If Xia Shengtang is a member of the Dragon Court, he must know that.

Besides, even if Xia Shengtang is really a member of the Dragon Court, he won’t take the Wu Family lightly. After all, the regulations of the Dragon Court are very strict. The member of the Dragon Court is not afraid of trouble for sure but he won’t cause trouble proactively. Otherwise, he must be a fractious man.

But the Dragon Killers…

They won’t have too many scruples.

Although Gao Ge rarely deals with the Dragon Killers, he still gets a rough impression of how they work.

That is, they are exceedingly arrogant.

In their eyes, they even set against the Dragon Court, not to mention the blessed spots.

Apart from that, Gao Ge can’t think of any other reason.

Besides, since Xia Shengtang is so cagey, Gao Ge tends to think that his guess is likely to be true.

Seeing Gao Ge’s disgruntled facial expression, Xia Shengtang says with a chuckle, “Why do you look like that? Putting aside whether I’m one of the Dragon Killers, even if I am, it has nothing to do with you, doesn’t it? You are not working for the Dragon Court anymore. However, I think you can join them.”

“Nonsense!” Gao Ge flares up. “You are risking your neck! You are opposing the Dragon Court and Huaxia! Don’t you know what they are up to?”

Xia Shengtang is not angry but looks at him with narrowed eyes.

Xia Shengtang’s reaction just angers Gao Ge even more.

“If you want to mess with those people, I cannot stop you. After all, I’m not Xia Mu.”

“I’m your father!” Xia Shengtang curses. Does Gao Ge think that he cannot understand the sarcasm?

Gao Ge doesn’t want to argue too much with Xia Shengtang on this issue and so he continues saying, “I have no problem with you wanting to hang out with those people but you can’t tell others that Xia Lu is your sister. If you want to court death, don’t implicate Xia Lu.”

Xia Shengtang bursts out laughing.

“Rest assured. I didn’t join them but I did ask them for a favor this time. The Wu Family won’t make trouble for the Xia Family or you. In return, I must do them a favor too.”

“A favor?” Gao Ge is dazed, “What favor?”

“This is none of your business,” Xia Shengtang shakes his head and says, “Rest assured. I have a sense of propriety but you must keep in your mind what you said. Messing with those people will get you killed. I know they contacted you before. Just turn them down as you did before. Don’t mess with them. In terms of your current capability, you are too weak to deal with them.”

Gao Ge nods.

Even if Xia Shengtang doesn’t say that, Gao Ge still knows that.

It is not only because he thinks the Dragon Killers are too dangerous.

More importantly, as a man of Huaxia and a former member of the Dragon Court, he can never associate with those people.

“You mean…I can leave now?” Gao Ge suddenly comes to his senses and says.

Xia Shengtang takes a deep breath and says, “There is one more thing.”

Gao Ge feels a headache.

His future brother-in-law is such a trouble-maker.

“You are looking for the Ghost Sect?”

Gao Ge’s heart clenches.

It is not surprising that Xia Shengtang knows this matter.

What really surprises Gao Ge is that Xia Shengtang brings it up to him all of a sudden.

Does he have any information about the Ghost Sect?

“The Ghost Sect’s base is not easy to find. These days, I’ve searched for some information for you. Of course, it is not for your sake but because I think Meng Jing is a nice girl.” Xia Shengtang is interrupted by Gao Ge who is so anxious.

“Xia Shengtang, get to the point!”

“Why are you so rash? It’s not my last word. Are you afraid that I will die amidst talking?” Xia Shengtang widens his eyes.

Gao Ge hastens to smile apologetically, takes out the cigarette from his pocket and lights one for him.

“Mr. Xia, there’s no rush. Just take your time.”

The corners of Xia Shengtang’s lips twitch and he suddenly doesn’t feel like telling Gao Ge about it.

“Is Xia Lu important or Meng Jing?” Xia Shengtang suddenly asks.

Gao Ge is speechless.

What kind of question is that?

How old is Xia Shengtang? Why does he ask such a boring question? It is completely pointless!
