Seeing this, Shadow's eyes immediately showed a look of vigilance, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
"what you up to?"
Lu Xiao smiled maliciously and said, "Instructor, your strength has now reached the upper limit of the ninth rank. I wonder if you would like to become a Grandmaster?"
Although Shadow felt there was a trap in this statement, he still couldn't resist the temptation of becoming a Grandmaster.
So he asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Lu Xiao said, "It's nothing special. I'm deeply grateful for the guidance I received back then. If you'd like to become a Grandmaster, you can come and spar with me when you have time. I'm confident I can help you reach that level within a year."
As mentioned before, during his training at the Inspection Institute in the early years, he was beaten by Shadow a lot.
Now that the situation has reversed, he will take it back no matter what.
Of course, the heart that points to the shadow is also real.
Shadow asked doubtfully, "Can you help me become a Grandmaster?"
Lu Xiao said confidently, "Whether it will work or not, you'll doubt everything I say now. Instructor, come and experience it yourself, and you'll know if what I say is true or not."
Now Shadow couldn't be sure whether Lu Xiao was lying or not.
But he still asked, "Why?"
He wanted to know why Lu Xiao wanted to help him.
Lu Xiao laughed and said, "There are only five Grandmasters in this world, which is a bit too boring after all. Just think of it as me finding some fun for myself."
Shadow asked, "Aren't you afraid that once I become a Grand Master, I'll take away your power in the Inspection Institute?"
Shadow is sincere.
Given his personality, even if he became a Grandmaster, he would still be loyal to Chen Pingping.
Although he didn't know what agreement Lu Xiao and Chen Pingping had just reached.
But this didn't stop him from knowing that Chen Pingping must have compromised because of Lu Xiao's strength.
Therefore, once he becomes a Grandmaster, Chen Pingping will have more than one choice.
Lu Xiao said nonchalantly.
"Hahaha, I want power, not because I'm greedy for it, but simply because it makes it easier for me to do many things. In fact, I don't care about power at all. Do you believe it?"
Shadow couldn't tell whether the words were true or false, so he didn't answer.
At this moment, Lu Xiao turned around and prepared to leave, while the last words echoed in Shadow's ears.
"Instructor, Grandmaster is only the starting point of the martial arts path. The true martial arts path is much more exciting than you know. You are not yet a Grandmaster, so seeing me is like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky. Once you become a Grandmaster, seeing me again will be like an ant seeing the sky. Then you will understand why I don't care."
Before the words faded away, Lu Xiao's figure had already disappeared.
No one saw how he left.
There is only a shock in my heart.
Shadow couldn't help but fall into deep thought again.
But at this moment, Chen Pingping beside him suddenly said, "Shadow, agree to him."
After hearing this, Shadow subconsciously looked over.
"The Dean"
Chen Pingping said, "He's even more mysterious than I imagined." [The following appears to be unrelated text fragments and should likely be omitted.] My intuition tells me that what he just said is true."
Shadow then nodded.
What happened in the Inspection Office was not spread out.
Therefore, the news that Lu Xiao had become a Grandmaster was still only known to a few people.
Time flies, and the Northern Qi delegation has been in Kyoto for more than ten days.
During these ten days, the two countries have held several rounds of peace talks.
Still no results.
Peace talks are never just a matter of a few words.
Both countries have their own demands.
Until a balance is found, there will naturally be no result that satisfies both parties.
Inspection Office No. 1.
A guest came today.
It's an acquaintance.
During this period, Master Fan, who had been busy participating in the peace talks, unexpectedly came to visit in person.
There was also someone accompanying him whom Lu Xiao had not expected.
Fan Xian's fiancée, Lin Wan'er.
Seeing the two people coming, Lu Xiao asked in confusion.
"Didn't your Uncle Wuzhu tell you to stay away from me? Why do you still dare to come to me?"
Fan Xian smiled sheepishly and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? My uncle Wu Zhu is just worried about my safety. It's your fault that your strength has suddenly become so terrifying."
Fan Xian's attitude towards Lu Xiao did not change despite Lu Xiao's strength changes.
After all, since he was little, he has been accompanied by a being even more terrifying than a Grandmaster.
A person who hangs out with the strongest king all year round.
Naturally, I won't change my style just because someone else is also the strongest king.
Lu Xiao said, "Alright, what brings you to me today?"
Although Fan Xian had come to see her frequently in the past few months, it was mostly because Lin Wan'er didn't have time to accompany him.
This guy is a man who values love over friendship.
So there must be something going on here since you came to see me today.
But if I bring Lin Wan'er with me, it can only be for one thing.
As expected, Fan Li said.
"Wan'er wants to see her brother. Please be flexible."
Lu Xiao really didn't guess wrong.
Lin Gong was sentenced to beheading in the autumn.
Now it is not far from autumn.
Lin Wan'er probably wanted to see her brother one last time.
Lu Xiao looked at her and asked.
"I was the one who captured your brother. Do you hate me?"
Chapter 232 Chatting
After hearing Lu Xiao's words, Lin Wan'er shook her head.
"No, my brother broke the law. Even if you weren't there, someone else would have caught him. I can't blame anyone else for this."
Although Lin Wan'er's body was delicate, her personality was not delicate at all.
He is also a person who has a clear distinction between love and hate.
According to the original timeline, after Lin Gong was killed by Wu Zhu, she actually immediately suspected Fan Xian.
Her brother assassinated Fan Xian, causing the death of Fan Xian's friend.
It was only natural for Fan Xian to seek revenge on her brother.
But she also fell in love with Fan Xian.
Therefore, she finally decided to ask Fan Xian for clarification. If Fan Xian really killed her brother, she planned to commit suicide to give herself an explanation.
This shows that this girl is reasonable.
This time, Lu Xiao arrested Lin Gong according to national law, so she naturally didn't have any personal grudges.
Even because her brother had assassinated Fan Xian, she felt full of guilt when she faced him.
Lu Xiao saw that she was not lying, so he spoke.
"Alright, although according to the rules, Lin Gong's crime doesn't allow for visits, but Fan Xian is also a member of our Inspection Institute. For his sake, I will make an exception for you today."
After saying that, he shouted outside.
"Someone come here."
Deng Ziyue immediately ran in from the door.
"grown ups."
Lu Xiao said, "Take them both to see Lin Gong."
After hearing this, Fan Xian immediately said, "I won't go. Let Wan'er talk to her brother alone."
He is not stingy.
I really want to give the brother and sister some time to be alone together.
Now Fan Xian no longer hates Lin Gong.
Because in his opinion, Lin Gong has already paid the price for his actions.
Fan Xian has never been one to hold grudges.
Seeing this, Deng Ziyue took Lin Wan'er away alone.
After Lin Wan'er left, Fan Xian casually found a place to sit down.
Then he complained: "Your place is more comfortable. You don't know how busy I have been these past few days."
Lu Xiao said, "Isn't it just that I asked you to be in charge of the peace talks? What kind of busy can you be?"
Fan Xian said, "You don't know. The person in charge of the specific matters of the peace talks is Lord Xin of the Honglu Temple. Before the talks began, he told me to be careful with my words and to be polite and courteous. Only in this way could I demonstrate the magnanimity of the great nation of Southern Qing. But once the talks began, they completely contradicted his words. It's like arguing with ordinary people. I've been nearly dizzy these past few days."
Lu Xiao laughed and said, "That's just the way it is. Whether it's between nations or between individuals, peace talks are no different from quarrels. After all, everyone has to represent their own interests. If you really want both sides to sit down and chat peacefully, it won't produce any results in ten days or even a year or two."
"Besides, the soldiers on the front lines fought bravely and finally won the battle. But when it comes to peace talks, we are timid and afraid to speak. That would be too unfair to the blood those soldiers shed."
Fan Xian nodded. "Lord Xin said the same thing. I understand the logic. I'm just a little tired."
Lu Xiao said, "It seems you like this Lord Xin very much."
Fan Xian said, "He's a real quick shooter. I'll call him out when I'm free, and we can have a drink together."
"Okay." Lu Xiao nodded. "But let me make it clear first, I won't pay."
"Xiaoyue - Yi Er Lin Emu (II) Medical n3 Mio Daddy's anger." Fan Xian was speechless.
Then he asked, "By the way, I haven't been able to come over lately. After we last met, my uncle told me that you're much stronger than the other Grandmasters, and even he's not sure he can handle you. We're about the same age, so how do you cultivate?"
Lu Xiao laughed and said, "Why? Are you interested?"
Fan Xian nodded immediately. "Of course I'm interested. This is a Grandmaster. I'm only at the eighth level right now, and I don't know if I can become a Grandmaster in my lifetime."
In the past few months, Fan Xian's strength has also improved, and he has now broken through to the eighth level.
Lu Xiao gave him a look of disdain: "You? Grandmaster?"
Fan Xian was anxious: "Why, you look down on me, don't you?"
Lu Xiao said, "That's not the case, but with your current temperament, becoming a Grandmaster is going to be quite difficult. You don't have the heart of a warrior."
Fan Xian said, "The heart of a warrior? You're talking too much, aren't you?"
Lu Xiao said, "It's not mysterious. Although this thing cannot be seen or touched, it does exist. You can think of it as something that transforms when a person's spirit, will, and other strengths grow to a certain level."
Fan Xian thought for a moment, then asked, "Then how can one acquire the warrior's heart that you speak of?"
Lu Xiao said, "It's very simple. There is great terror between life and death. If you experience assassinations like the previous one a dozen or so times, you should understand what a warrior's heart is."
"More than a dozen times?" Fan Xian's mouth dropped open, and then he immediately said, "Forget it. Grandmaster doesn't seem so tempting anymore."
