The next day, the news of Meng Jue's murder had spread throughout Black Rock City.
As for Han Zhao, who killed Meng Jue, he was walking to Xu's house in a swaggering manner.
At noon today, Butler Zhou sent someone to inform him that Xu Zhengdao, the head of the Xu family who was doing business outside, sent a letter announcing that Xu Ling would take over the family business.
It just so happened that today was the day for the issuance of statutory funds, and Han Zhao's dream of making a living would be realized today, so he decided to celebrate with Xu Ling and get some luck.
After a while, Han Zhao came to Xu Zhai's backyard in a familiar way.
He walked into Xu Ling's room and saw that the round table was filled with all kinds of wine and delicacies.
"Junior Brother Han, you are here." Xu Ling stood up to greet him, "I asked the butler to go to Zuiyue Tower to reserve a seat, but I didn't expect that it was already full at noon, so I bought wine and food to eat at home."
"I just like to eat at home, so we can practice together while eating." Han Zhao said with a genuine smile.
"You can practice by yourself after dinner." Xu Ling rolled her eyes at him.
"It's more efficient to practice together. It just so happens that I can check your practice progress."
Han Zhao said seriously that his special Qi seeding effect could instill the pure Qi in his body into Xu Ling, improving her cultivation progress.
Of course, the reverse is also possible.
Xu Ling's cheeks turned red and she said nothing more.
As soon as the two of them sat down, the maid Luzhu walked in carrying a food box.
"Miss Third, these are the snacks that Baixiangju just made."
"Put it here." Xu Ling pointed to the empty seat on the table.
"Yes." Luzhu put the exquisite snacks on the table and looked at Han Zhao quietly.
[The freshly made hazelnut cake tastes sweet, but there is a little bit of seasoning in it. With your ability to avoid poison, it's equivalent to a spicy taste. 】
Han Zhao picked up a piece of hazelnut cake, and a system prompt suddenly appeared.
"Lv Zhu." Han Zhao put the hazelnut cake in front of Lv Zhu.
"Mr. Han, I..." Luzhu lowered his eyes, glanced at Xu Ling shyly, and immediately took a step back.
"Junior Brother Han?" Xu Ling looked at Han Zhao doubtfully. Based on his understanding of Han Zhao, such behavior was really abnormal.
"What? You don't want to eat, or you still don't dare to eat?" Han Zhao smiled faintly.
"I..." Luzhu looked flustered and hurriedly lowered his head to cover it up.
"You must eat it!" Han Zhao suddenly stood up and grabbed Lu Zhu's neck.
"Miss Third?!" Luzhu was so frightened that her eyes filled with tears, and she looked at Xu Ling as if asking for help.
Xu Ling stood up suddenly, "Hazelnut cake is poisonous?!"
"Lv Zhu! You have followed me for twelve years?! Why?" Xu Ling looked at Lv Zhu in disbelief.
As if she thought of something, she lost her voice and said, "Is it my second brother?"
"Ah!" Han Zhao tapped Luzhu's belly with his finger, and she suddenly let out a scream, and her body fell to the ground, convulsing continuously.
"If you don't say anything, you will feel this pain in the next three days." Han Zhao said expressionlessly.
"I said, I said!"
Luzhu rolled on the ground in pain, crying and telling everything.
"Third Miss, please spare me! It's the Second Young Master..."
Luzhu cried and hugged Xu Ling's thigh.
Seeing Xu Ling's dull expression, Han Zhao stretched out a finger and pointed at Lv Zhu's lower abdomen, causing the health-preserving energy to stop flowing.
"Now follow your plan and call Xu Jin! Of course, you can also try to escape and bet on whether it will hurt to death."
"Yes! I'll go right away!" Lu Zhu ran out of the room as if she had been granted amnesty.
Han Zhao walked up to Xu Ling and gently hugged her into his arms, "Now it's your turn to make a decision, whether you want to continue the show or not."
After a long silence, Xu Ling nodded: "I... understand."
After a while, rapid footsteps came, and Han Zhao and Xu Ling lay on the table.
Xu Jin walked into the room and saw the two of them lying motionless on the table, without even coming forward to check, so he laughed loudly.
"Hahahaha! Good death! Good death!"
"Second...Second Young Master, I..." Luzhu's voice was trembling.
"Luzhu, don't worry, I promised you, I...go to hell!" The smile on Xu Jin's face disappeared instantly, and he punched Lv Zhu right in the heart.
"Poof!" Luzhu screamed, vomiting blood, "Second Young Master?!"
"You, a cheap servant, still want to be my equal wife in the next life!" Xu Jin said disdainfully.
"Ha...haha! Cough cough cough..." Lv Zhu's face turned pale, pointing at Xu Jin and laughing. He kept coughing out blood, and soon he had more air coming out and less air coming in.
Xu Jin raised his hand to punch again, but found that his wrist was suddenly grabbed.
"Han Zhao?!" Xu Jin looked shocked, and suddenly felt a force entering his body from his veins, and his body went numb instantly.
"Forget it, don't argue with him."
Han Zhao said to Lu Zhu.
"Okay...ok!" Luzhu instantly understood what Han Zhao meant, with a hint of pleasure in her eyes. She glanced at Xu Ling for the last time, "Miss Third, I was wrong...wrong... "
Luzhu's eyes widened and he died.
Xu Ling stepped forward and closed her eyes for her.
"You..." Xu Jin still didn't understand that he had fallen into the trap, and immediately his knees weakened and fell to the ground: "Third sister, this bitch Luzhu encouraged me to do this. It was impulsive, we are all brothers and sisters! Can you spare me this time?!"
Han Zhao looked on coldly and said nothing.
Xu Ling raised his head slightly, looked at the sky outside the window, and took a long breath: "Junior Brother Han, he is my second brother after all..."
Saying that, Xu Ling turned his back.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Han Zhao's eyes.
Xu Jin felt happy, and when he was about to continue speaking softly, Xu Ling suddenly said in a deep voice: "You shouldn't have taken action against my Junior Brother Han!"
"?" Xu Jin's expression froze and his eyes suddenly widened: "Xu Ling, what did you say?!"
"Sorry to trouble you, Junior Brother Han." Xu Ling did not look back.
"Xu Ling! I am your second brother! How dare you..."
Click!
Accompanied by the sound of the Tianling Gai shattering, Xu Jin's frightened screams suddenly stopped, and his body fell next to Lv Zhu.
Han Zhao walked up to Xu Ling.
Her eyes were red, and there was a cry in her voice: "Second brother, he was very good to me when I was young, and Luzhu."
"It's hard for you, you've done a good enough job. And..." Han Zhao hugged her: "I knew we were on the same page."
...
After Xu Ling calmed down, she asked Han Zhao to leave first while she dealt with the aftermath.
Han Zhao didn't say anything and left Xu House directly.
Han Zhao was impressed by her ability to deal with Xu Jin decisively.
After all, we are relatives who have lived together for more than 20 years. It is understandable to be sad and to be soft-hearted, but to be soft-hearted is unacceptable!
For Han Zhao, whoever harms him in reality will die.
anyone!
After returning home, Han Zhao closed the door tightly.
This accident made him feel the need to simulate it.
"system."
[Collect 60 reminder fragments. Do you want to synthesize the entry? 】
[Synthesize once, consume 45 reminder fragments and 60 taels of gold...]
[Current balance: 170 taels of gold]
"After Xu Jin is solved, and Xu Ling takes full control of the family business, resources can be integrated. Then it means that I will not be short of money in a short time."
"First improve the root bones to increase the efficiency of cultivation."
Han Zhao thought to himself.
"Synthesis, start simulation."
[At the age of twenty, you helped Xu Ling win the family business. Xu Ling annexed the Zhang family's property and reached an agreement with Su Yun. The two firms merged and were renamed Lingyun Firm. The business expanded rapidly. 】
[At the age of twenty-one, your Duanyue Sword Technique has been perfected and has broken through to the third qi and blood stage. 】
[Considering that the news has passed, you disguised yourself as Ding Xiu and went to Jade Wind City. You sold Meng Jue's stainless steel spear at Wanbao Pavilion and received 3,000 taels of silver. 】
[You added another 5,000 taels of silver and spent 8,000 taels to buy 22 kilograms of monster meat jerky. 】
[Before leaving, Fang Ling sent you an invitation to go to the 'Excalibur Villa'. 】
[After you asked about the reason, the three sisters of the Lian family appeared, followed by two martial arts masters and three disciples of the 'First Pattern' level aristocratic family. 】
[The children of the aristocratic family are opposed to you, a weakling who has broken through three times of Qi and blood, joining the team. 】
[You are well aware of the dangers of 'Excalibur Villa', and were not prepared to go with them in the first place, so you took advantage of the situation to reject them and returned to Black Rock City. 】
[At the end of the year, after consuming 22 kilograms of monster meat jerky and a large amount of resources provided by Xu Ling, you will have cultivated Chengfeng Kick, Mountain Shaking Fist, and Yin Sha Palm to the third level, but Yin Sha Palm has not absorbed the power of Yin Sha. Qi, so it gets the least seal blood and strength. 】
[At the age of twenty-two, your Qi and blood were perfect three times. After practicing together with Xu Ling, she broke through three times of Qi and blood, and you successfully gained energy. 】
[In the same year, your health-preserving skills were perfected; Chengfeng Kick, Mountain Shaking Fist, and Yin Sha Palm broke through to the fourth level, but Yin Sha Palm lacked the Yin Sha Qi and was lagging behind in terms of strength. 】
[In order to perfectly integrate the three kinds of power and obtain the 'Three Yuan Power', you decided to go to the 'Sword Villa' to absorb the evil spirit. 】
[Twenty-three years old, after being fully prepared, you entered the Divine Sword Villa. After killing a group of evil corpses and blood corpses, the demon appeared. 】
[With the four powers in your body, you beat the demon back steadily. 】
[At this time, Lian Chengbing, one of the three sisters of the Lian family, appeared, but she was disfigured and covered with pustules. 】
[Although Liancheng Bing doesn’t know you, when the demon appeared, she also joined the fight. 】
[The demon was about to be killed by your joint efforts, but he suddenly laughed out loud and said he didn’t want to play anymore. Then his power surged, and you and Liancheng Bing instantly fell into a disadvantage and were in danger. 】
[At the critical moment, you no longer hide your strength and use all your energy to use the 'Sword Drawing Technique'. However, you only cut off one arm of the demon. 】
[The demon laughs and tells you that he hasn't actually used his full strength yet, and then connects his arm and severely injures you. 】
[At the critical moment of life and death, a black mist appears from the strange depths. 】
[In desperation, you used your last strength to use the last knife, 'Yue-breaking style'. At this time, a woman in a green dress appeared in the black mist. She recognized your sword skills, turned around to rescue you, and severely wounded the demon with one sword. 】
[The demon yelled "Tiansha Demonic Art, Second Qi Master" and ran away. 】
[The woman in the green dress asked you why you knew the Yue-Duan sword technique. You lifted the disguise technique and restored your original appearance. The other party blurted out your name. 】
[On her deathbed, the woman in green dress said her name was Lu Yingxuan. 】
【you are dead. 】
