NOVEL NEXT Chapter 134: Are You the Tan Xu They Speak Of?
Indeed, it was Wang Ye who had angered him.
Therefore, Mr. Lu wanted to quickly take care of Wang Ye as soon as possible.
Mr. Lu placed the Life-bound Gu on the ground, and after it stood by his feet for a while, as if it had received some command, it started to crawl towards the direction where Wang Ye was located.
Without a sound.
Not a single person noticed a gu insect closing in on Wang Ye.
"What are you doing here?"
Mr. Lu had just placed the Life-bound Gu not long ago and was waiting outside, planning to go in later to see what would become of Wang Ye.
In Mr. Lu's view, it would take less than a minute for Wang Ye to be destined for his end.
Just as Mr. Lu was about to go inside, a voice rang out.
When Mr. Lu heard this voice, a hint of involuntary fear appeared in his eyes, because the owner of the voice was none other than Tan Xu of the Tan Family.
Mr. Lu turned around and respectfully said to Tan Xu, "Young Master Tan."
"Hmm."
Although Mr. Lu was here on behalf of the He Family, Tan Xu did not show the slightest courtesy when facing Mr. Lu.
In Mr. Lu's opinion, Wang Ye had already been dealt with by his Life-bound Gu.
Therefore, Mr. Lu directly addressed Tan Xu, "Young Master Tan, just now someone took your seat inside. I told him several times, but he wouldn't budge, and he even told me that if you wanted to pick a fight with him, you're welcome to try, but it might not be certain who will come out on top in the end."
"Is that what he said?"
Tan Xu's eyes narrowed, and anger swirled in his contracted pupils.
His temperament was already difficult, and upon hearing what Mr. Lu said, he started to grow angry.
"Yes, that's exactly what he said."
Before Tan Xu could ask more, Mr. Lu continued, "He's the descendant of the Wang family, Wang Ye."
"Wang Ye? I know of him."
Tan Xu had heard about Wang Ye as well.
After all, the conflict between Wang Ye and He Lei had spread throughout the region around Yun City.
Tan Xu glanced at Mr. Lu, his gaze scrutinizing him back and forth, "Could it be that you're deliberately saying this, actually hoping that I will deal with him?"
"That's not the case."
Mr. Lu hurriedly shook his head, fearing that Tan Xu might misunderstand something, "You can ask the people in the hall, they all witnessed that scene just a moment ago."
"Alright, I believe you."
Only then did Tan Xu's gaze move away from Mr. Lu, "Come on, take me to meet this Wang Ye. That waste He Lei couldn't handle Wang Ye, but I can!"
Tan Xu's words carried a hint of killing intent, as until now, no one had ever provoked him like this.
Shown him such disrespect.
"Young Master Tan,"
Mr. Lu respectfully spoke, "He has already been taken care of by me."
"Already taken care of by you?" Tan Xu looked at Mr. Lu in surprise, "Didn't they say, every time you make a move, it ends up in failure against Wang Ye, how come he has already been taken care of by you?"
Mr. Lu's face wore a smile, "I have my trump cards after all."
"Well done, you little rascal!"
Tan Xu patted Mr. Lu on the shoulder, "Suddenly, I'm interested in your trump cards. You were able to handle something He Lei couldn't. How about coming to the Tan Family? How about being one of my people?"
"This..."
Mr. Lu was somewhat tempted, after all, it was the Tan family of the provincial capital, but he feigned a reserved demeanor on the surface and did not agree immediately.
"Young Master Tan, next you'll see the look of utter despair and struggle on Wang Ye's face when he dies."
As Mr. Lu spoke, he led Tan Xu toward the bar's main hall. However, when Mr. Lu looked toward where Wang Ye was, he found Wang Ye also looking in his direction.
And he was flashing a brilliant smile.
"Wait here for me a moment."
Wang Ye turned his head to Su Wanqing to leave a message, then took the initiative to walk over to Mr. Lu. Seeing Wang Ye approaching Mr. Lu with a smile on his face, Tan Xu immediately realized that Mr. Lu's previously confident appearance was, in fact, a failure.
In Tan Xu's view, dealing with Wang Ye was a simple matter, so Tan Xu was not in a hurry to resolve Wang Ye outright but instead looked at Mr. Lu with a mocking smile on his face.
The look he gave Mr. Lu seemed to contain two words: "That's it?"
"How… how… how is this possible."
Mr. Lu was shocked to see Wang Ye approaching him.
Wang Ye hadn't died?
That's impossible.
It was his own Life-bound Gu, incredibly toxic, deadly on contact.
If his Life-bound Gu had not succeeded, then there must have been some problem; if it died or something, he would suffer backlash, which he would be able to feel.
But he felt nothing.
And nothing had happened to Wang Ye either.
If not for everything he had experienced telling him he wasn't dreaming, Mr. Lu would have thought he was dreaming.
It made no sense at all!
Just as Mr. Lu was feeling utterly incredulous, Wang Ye approached him with a smile on his face and waved his hand in front of Mr. Lu's eyes: "Hey, Mr. Lu, what's with the surprise?"
Wang Ye's hand gesture brought Mr. Lu back to reality. Yet, as he watched the hand Wang Ye was waving before him, his pupils constricted violently.
On Wang Ye's hand was a Gu insect with a ghostly face on its back, pitch black, emitting a dark metallic luster.
Mr. Lu's Life-bound Gu!
However, although Mr. Lu's Life-bound Gu was in Wang Ye's hand, it did not attack Wang Ye. On the contrary, it was Mr. Lu who felt a dangerous premonition from his own Life-bound Gu—that it was turning against him!
Wang Ye's voice rang out once more:
"You really should take good care of your Life-bound Gu. If you can't protect it properly, someone else might just pick it up."
"It might even devour its master."
Wang Ye said this.
Mr. Lu turned and ran. Although the Life-bound Gu in Wang Ye's hands hadn't changed before Mr. Lu turned, Mr. Lu still ran away immediately.
Because Mr. Lu realized he was no longer able to control the Life-bound Gu.
The Life-bound Gu was still alive.
But he couldn't control it.
Meaning, in a short amount of time, Wang Ye had taken control of his Life-bound Gu.
Although Mr. Lu didn't know how Wang Ye had managed it.
But now, he didn't have the time to think about it; running was the priority.
In the instant Mr. Lu turned his head, the Life-bound Gu in Wang Ye's hand leaped down and chased after Mr. Lu.
The black dot moved extremely fast on the ground, resembling a bloodthirsty specter from the netherworld.
Wang Ye didn't bother with the outcome and turned his head towards Tan Xu, asking with a smile: "So you're the Tan Xu they talk about?"
