"Five Six Three" Lu Xiao didn't want to talk about this and changed the subject directly: "Alright, let's get back to the topic we were talking about just now. Let me ask you again, at this moment, are you Xiao Se or Xiao Chuhe?"

Xiao Se asked: "Does it make any difference?"

Lu Xiao said, "Of course. If you simply want to be like Xiao Se, the owner of the Free and Easy Tavern, then as long as you become my Third Master's disciple, you will be a disciple of Xueyue City. No matter what happens in the future, Xueyue City will protect your freedom and will never let you do anything against your will. This is the treatment all Xueyue City disciples receive."

"But if one day you eventually become the Yong'an Prince Xiao Chuhe, then the current situation will be different. First, you need to understand one thing: you came here today to ask Xueyue City for help, not us asking you. Since you're asking for help, you should behave like one. So, put away that royal arrogance. I'm not happy with it."

When Xiao Se heard this, he immediately became angry.

"Hmph, begging? You three, do you really think I must belong to your Snow Moon City?"

Lu Xiao nodded after hearing this. "Okay, it seems you are Xiao Chuhe now. Then I can tell you with certainty that no one in the world can help you with what you want to do except for my Snow Moon City."

This immediately ignited Xiao Se's temper, and he immediately prepared to leave.

Sikong Changfeng was getting anxious and was about to speak out to stop him again.

But before he could speak, Lu Xiao grabbed him.

"Third Master, ignore that idiot. If he wants to do that, he's bound to encounter countless obstacles. I guarantee that if he leaves Snow Moon City now, he won't be able to return to Apocalypse alive. After all, neither the White King nor the Red King wants him, their strongest opponent, to appear again. The Lone Sword Immortal and the Tyrant Sword Immortal alone are enough for him to deal with, not to mention the others hiding in the dark, like the one who crippled his martial arts."

Sikong Changfeng was so smart that he immediately realized that Lu Xiao was talking to Xiao Se, so he immediately followed up on Lu Xiao's question.

"Is his martial arts really that bad?"

Lu Xiao nodded. "He's not dead, but his hidden meridians are damaged. He has to use his internal Qi to suppress them. If he uses his Qi to fight, his life will be in danger. The person who hurt him was very treacherous. He must be at least a Half-Step Divine Wandering Realm expert. Lone Sword Immortal, Tyrant Sword Immortal, and this mysterious expert. Three Half-Step Divine Wandering Realm opponents. I really can't imagine how he could have returned to Tianqi alive after destroying our Snow Moon City. With all his arrogance and stubbornness, how could he have survived?"

After these words were spoken, Xiao Se stopped again.

He also knew that if he wanted to return to Tianqi, he would inevitably face huge obstacles, but he had never thought about it in such detail.

Now that Lu Xiao said this, he suddenly realized that what Lu Xiao had just said was indeed not a lie.

If he wanted to return to Tianqi City amidst the hostility of so many powerful people, only Xueyue City could help him.

There is absolutely no other possibility.

Only then did his heart slowly begin to calm down.

After a while, he turned around and asked Lu Xiao: "Do you know what I want to do?"

Lu Xiao said nonchalantly, "What else could it be? Four years ago, Prince of Langya, Xiao Ruofeng, was executed for treason. Prince of Yong'an, Xiao Chuhe, defended him in court, leading to a conflict with Emperor Mingde. In a rage, Emperor Mingde demoted his most beloved son to a commoner. However, Xiao Chuhe was personally trained by Xiao Ruofeng and has a deep bond with him. I believe he will never give up on overturning his conviction and clearing his name."

Hearing this, Sikong Changfeng's eyes widened and he immediately became excited.

"I see, so this is what you want to do. Fine, fine, I will definitely take care of this matter in Xueyue City."

Lu Xiao immediately interrupted Sikong Changfeng.

"Third Master, please be patient. I know you and the King of Langya are close friends, good brothers, but I still want to say this: what does this have to do with Xueyue City?"

He said the last sentence while looking at Xiao Se.

After hearing these words, Xiao Se couldn't help but shake his head, a mocking smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, it's indeed irrelevant. Back then, you guys from Xueyue City didn't go to rescue him, so it's only natural that you won't help me now. After all, it's always right to seek benefits and avoid harm."

Sikong Changfeng was anxious and tried to explain: "No, I was..."

Lu Xiao interrupted again, "Stop being so sarcastic. I know you resent my Third Master for not saving the King of Langya, but how can you be sure there's no hidden agenda?"

"Hidden secret?" Xiao Se said loudly, "As the only spear immortal in the world, who can stop him unless he himself doesn't want to?"

Lu Xiao immediately asked, "What if it's Prince Langya himself?"

When these words came out, Xiao Se was stunned, and it took him a long time to ask.

"What did you say?"

Lu Xiao didn't say anything this time, but turned to look at Sikong Changfeng.

Sikong Changfeng was finally able to speak. He sighed heavily, then looked at Xiao Se and said.

"When your uncle was imprisoned, I was planning to rush out of Xueyue City and head straight for Tianqi with my spear in hand, but I received a letter at that time. This letter was written by your uncle himself."

At the mention of Prince Langya, Xiao Se suddenly softened and asked hurriedly.

"What did Uncle Wang 0.2 say?"

Sikong Changfeng said, "He told me to stay in Xueyue City no matter what happens next."

Hearing this, Xiao Se's aura suddenly increased, and he struggled to ask.

"Are you sure it was written by Uncle Wang himself?"

Sikong Changfeng said, "Your uncle Wang's notes should be more familiar to you than I am. They are so graceful and graceful that no one in the world can imitate them."

Now Xiao Se finally couldn't lie to himself anymore.

He knew that if the Gun Immortal said so, it was definitely not a lie.

After all, any powerful person with the word "Xian" in their name, regardless of their character, would not bother to lie.

At this moment, Lu Xiao suddenly laughed.

"Third Master, you really are giving face to King Langya. The use of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing is really superb. Are you sure it's not ugly?"

Sikong Changfeng glared at Lu Xiao and ignored him.

Chapter 164 Lu Xiao’s Resentment

When mentioning Prince Langya's initial belief, Sikong Changfeng's face was filled with regret, and he slowly spoke.

"When I first received that letter, I shouldn't have listened to him. But back then, Ruofeng was known as a minister and a master of planning. I thought this might be part of his plan. If I had gone, I might have ruined it. But I never expected the outcome to be like this."

At this moment, Xiao Se's resentment towards Sikong Changfeng finally dissipated a little, and he could only hear him say weakly.

“Who could have imagined that would be the outcome?”

When Sikong Changfeng heard this, the regret on his face became even more intense.

"I should have torn his letter to pieces and rushed to Tianqi to rescue him."

Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "I've said it before, smart people like to overthink simple things. Prince Langya was courting death, and he deserved his fate."

This immediately made Sikong Changfeng and Xiao Se furious.

"Stop talking nonsense, you little brat." Sikong Changfeng said with a dark face.

"Say it again!" Xiao Se stood up directly.

Lu Xiao spoke fearlessly to the two men, "Why? I can't tell the truth anymore. Third Master, you and the King of Langya are brothers, so I understand how you feel. If my brother encountered something like this, I would feel the same way. But the problem is, the King of Langya and I don't have a close relationship."

"Not only do we have no friendship, I even have a grudge against him. What's wrong with me saying a few words to him? Not to mention that he's already dead, even if he were standing here alive, I still dare to say this. He deserves it. What's wrong, Xiao Se, are you upset? Then hit me?"

Lu Xiao looked at Xiao Se provocatively.

At this moment, Xiao Se clenched his fists tightly. He really wanted to punch Lu Xiao in the face.

Unfortunately, he knew that, not to mention that he was now a cripple, even if his cultivation was still there, he would not be a match for Lu Xiao.

Fortunately, Sikong Changfeng interrupted at this time.

"What grudge could you, a stinky brat, have with the King of Langya?"

Lu Xiao immediately said, "Of course not. Putting everything else aside, my father-in-law and mother-in-law died because of him. Isn't it okay for me to scold him on behalf of my master's wife?"

When these words came out, Xiao Se was stunned.

Why is Li Hanyi involved here?

Sikong Changfeng became speechless.

Then he saw the confusion on Xiao Se's face and explained.

"Han Yi's mother is Li Xinyue, the heir of the Sword Tomb. Her father is Lei Mengsha of the Lei Clan. Lei Mengsha and your uncle were fellow apprentices. They entered the academy together. It was because of your uncle's relationship that Lei Mengsha joined the army and ultimately died on the battlefield. As for Li Xinyue's story, I'm sure you know it, so I won't explain it any further."

He then looked at Lu Xiao and said, "Although the deaths of Lei Mengsha and Li Xinyue were both related to Prince Langya, ultimately, these were their own choices. I believe that even if they were given the chance to choose again, they would not regret their choices."

Lu Xiao said, "Okay, Third Master, if you're right, I'll tell you something else."

"If it weren't for the brothers Prince Langya and Emperor Mingde, the Demon Cult's Eastern Expedition would never have happened twelve years ago. Back then, Prince Langya, in order to prevent unrest in the Beili court, stopped Ye Dingzhi on his first foray into Tianqi City. Consequently, he could only watch helplessly as his beloved Yi Wenjun was forced to marry Emperor Mingde."

"Then Emperor Mingde used a drug to knock Yi Wenjun out, took her body, and gave birth to the current Scarlet King. Later, with the help of the Heavens Beyond Heaven, Yi Wenjun escaped from Tianqi and reunited with Ye Dingzhi. However, a few years later, Emperor Mingde used the Scarlet King to trick Yi Wenjun into entering Tianqi and falling into his trap. Only then did Ye Dingzhi become completely possessed by the devil, and then the Demon Cult's Eastern Expedition took place."

"Third Master, you should have personally experienced most of the above events, so you should be able to prove that what I said is correct, right?"

Although Sikong Changfeng was somewhat surprised that Lu Xiao knew such a secret, he nodded.

"Except for the fact that Emperor Mingde drugged Yi Wenjun, which I don't know about, the rest is indeed true."

Lu Xiao said directly, "Everything else is true, and this one is true too. I wouldn't go so far as to expose Emperor Mingde's dirty laundry. He has so many dirty deeds to his name, this one isn't the least of them."

"Since it's true, then I'm saying that Prince Langya and Emperor Mingde are the culprits behind the Demon Cult's Eastern Expedition. Is that correct?"

Sikong Changfeng wanted to explain on behalf of Prince Langya: "I have no objection to you talking about Emperor Mingde, but you are wrong to talk about Prince Langya. Ruofeng made that choice at the time for the sake of the overall situation."

Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "In my opinion, this isn't considering the overall situation. Judging from Prince Langya's actions, everything he decides only temporarily suppresses conflicts. It doesn't solve any problems at all. Moreover, any conflict he suppresses will inevitably cause a greater backlash if it erupts in the future. The Demon Cult's Eastern Expedition is a living example of this, and the current situation in the world is no different."

Sikong Changfeng and Xiao Se finally fell into deep thought.

Is Lu Xiao right?

Out of personal feelings, they are unwilling to admit it.

But they couldn't find any point to refute.

Back then, in order to stabilize the so-called court situation, Prince Langya, knowing full well that Ye Dingzhi and Yi Wenjun were truly in love, still stopped Ye Dingzhi and forced Yi Wenjun to marry his younger brother, Emperor Mingde.

Even the Prince of Langya himself admitted that this was an act against his will.

Later, the situation in the Beili court did stabilize briefly.

But later on, Beili still launched the Rebellion of the Seven Kings and the Demon Cult's Eastern Expedition.

He actually hasn't changed anything.

Sikong Changfeng and Xiao Se had to admit this.

So they had no way to refute it.

At this point, Lu Xiao continued, "Prince Langya was motivated by the so-called greater good, Emperor Mingde was motivated by his own selfish desires, and some long-dead ambitions compounded this, leading to the subsequent expedition."

"Because of the Demon Cult's Eastern Expedition, my hometown, my parents, and my relatives were slaughtered by the people of Beili."

"Xiao Se, tell me now, from my perspective, what's wrong with me scolding the culprit a few times?"

At the end of his speech, Lu Xiao was no longer asking Xiao Se a question, but questioning him.

At this moment, Xiao Se finally realized that there was such a story behind Lu Xiao.

But at this moment, he couldn't utter a word.

The same was true for Sikong Changfeng next to him.

Seeing that the two were silent, Lu Xiao continued.

"Xiao Se, you should actually thank Wu Xin and my Master. If it weren't for the two of them dissolving the resentment in my heart, I would definitely have a deep blood feud with you, the Beili Imperial Family, the Beili Jianghu, and even the entire Beili world. Given my temper, this feud will definitely end in the destruction of the entire Beili. Don't doubt whether I can do it. It all depends on whether I want to do it or not."

Lu Xiao said this with absolute certainty, without a trace of doubt.

Chapter 165 Lu Xiao's Ambition

After listening to Lu Xiao's words, Sikong Changfeng spoke worriedly after a long while.

"I never thought that you harbored such a deep resentment in your heart."

Lu Xiao knew what he was worried about, so he smiled and said, "I didn't expect it. I thought I had seen through what happened back then, but seeing this guy defending the King of Langya so much today, that resentment that I haven't felt in a long time suddenly surfaced. But don't worry, Third Master, I'm fine. Just a few complaints will be fine. My heart is not that fragile, and I won't be possessed by demons."

After hearing this, the director finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that Lu Xiao was possessed by a demon, because Lu Xiao's emotions seemed abnormal just now.

He also saw Lu Xiao's talent.

If a person with such talent were to become possessed by a demon, then what he just said might actually become a reality.

If that were the case, his sin today would be very serious.

At this moment, Sikong Changfeng thought silently in his heart: "No, it seems that I need to have a private chat with Han Yi. I can't let her temper remain so cold. At the very least, I need to pay more attention to the mental state of this brat in front of me on a daily basis. I must not let him get into trouble."

Sikong Changfeng had a severe headache at the moment.

He felt truly pitiful. Not only did he have to manage the trivialities of Xueyue City, but he also had to worry about the mental health of his disciples. He truly felt like both a father and a mother.

If Lu Xiao knew what he was thinking at this moment, he would definitely be very happy.

At this moment, Xiao Se, who had been silent for a long time, finally stood up and looked at Lu Xiao seriously.
