Chapter 228: Throw into the Lake

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

Lu Li and Hunchback Tian had left the place, and so did Bai Xi, Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang. What was more, Bai Xi even took the Iron-armored Ship and left as a show up. He didn’t even activate the Inhibition Formation, an open act to bring humiliation to the Yu Family.

Yu Huashen had to bear the insult and call all the warriors of the Yu Family back. News of this incident soon spread across the entire Northern Desert. Inevitably, the Yu Family was reduced to a joke of other families.

The Yu Family had devised a scheme to break even and to seek revenge for Yu Lingxu. Lu Li did come out, but so did Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang. In the end, even Bai Xi left the Thousand-island Lake.

However, the Yu Family never managed to kill Lu Li, instead, they were humiliated by Bai Xi. The key to the entire incident was Yu Lingxu. He almost killed Bai Qiuxue, Zi Lian, Ye Yuhan and Du Ziling at the Dragon King Mountain. Zi Lian herself testified for this which made Bai Xi’s move justified. The Yu Family lost members but was the one in the wrong. It was not the place for the Zi Family, Ye Family and Du Family to make a gesture so the Yu Family had to endure the shame…

Putting on a show and making a scene only to hurt the family by their own doing. Many scouts and several warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm lost their lives. Now the Yu Family had really become a joke at the Northern Desert.

Yu Huashen was like a raging bear and even smashed the gate of the Yu Family compound. Many patriarchs of the Yu Family could only suffer in silence. They wished they could carry their sabers and go after Lu Li right now to kill this initiator of evil.

Of course…

Nobody dared to make a real move. At this moment, any impulsive behavior would give Bai Xi a justified reason to send out troops. The Old Man of Heaven Prison probably would take actions as well to destroy the Yu Family which would make him more reputable.

“Let’s just keep it down for now. I will help you vent your anger before long.”

Yu Lun walked into the Yu Family compound, leaving only those words behind. He looked at the south with his viper-like eyes and disappeared.

…

Bai Xi had overestimated the abilities of Bai Ge and Bai Rui and underestimated those of Lu Li and Hunchback Tian. Three whole days had passed but there was still no Lu Li.

Bai Qiuxue, Bai Xiashuang and Liu Yi were getting impatient for they thought Lu Li was killed by the Yu Family secretly. Bai Xi didn’t believe Yu Huashen had this courage in him anymore. Bai Xi controlled the Iron-armored Ship to fly towards the Thousand-island Lake, and at the same time, sent back a message to ask the scouts of the Bai Family to pay attention to everything happening at the Thousand-island Lake.

Another three days slipped by, yet still there was no news from Bai Ge and Bai Rui. The Iron-armored Ship had now entered the Thousand-island Lake. Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang still could not put their minds at ease. They asked Bai Xi to fly the Iron-armored Ship to the Blood Evil Island to wait for more news. Bai Xi then left with the others, leaving one patriarch of the Eternal Realm.

Madam Yan sent someone to scold Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang and told them to go back to the Heaven Prison Island right after Lu Li got back.

On the second day that the twins lived at the Blood Evil Island, Xu Yaoyang got the news and he left his closed-door cultivation immediately. First come first served. How could Xu Yaoyang let go of such a wonderful chance?

However, Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang were in no good mood. They just threw some random words at him. Bai Qiuxue immediately went to the Dragon Elephant Mountain that Lu Li lived in. Bai Xiashuang wished not to talk to Xu Yaoyang either and she wanted to send him away after exchanging some pleasantries. But Xu Yaoyang came onto her like a sticking plaster and acted like a stalker…

Bai Xiashuang was short-tempered. She was busy thinking about how she could deal with Madam Yan when she got back. Now there was a man pestering her like a fly. So she got angry and sent him away.

Xu Yaoyang was, of course, infuriated. That being said, he dared not to anger this lady anymore. He left the Blood Evil Island in humiliation. As soon as he reached the dock, a battleship flew by and a Bai Family scout rushed his way in.

“What is the matter?” Xu Yaoyang asked casually. The scout knew this was the No. 1 Young Master of the God-down Island. He answered after some thoughts, “Island Owner Lu is back. He will be arriving at the Blood Evil Island in two hours.”

“Lu Li!”

Xu Yaoyang’s eyes were burning up. Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue travelled long distances to the Yu Emperor City just for Lu Li. Xu Yaoyang had heard about this, but he didn’t expect that the two ladies were living at the Blood Evil Island now.

Xu Yaoyang, of course, was speculating that Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue grew fondly of Lu Li. Otherwise, why would they go such lengths of bidding him farewell before and risk their lives in going to the Yu Emperor City to save Lu Li, not to mention living here at the moment?

Young people were frivolous.

Xu Yaoyang could not come to terms with the fact that a lady that he liked was snatched away from him by a bastard that escaped from the Heaven Martial Kingdom.

After some thoughts, he decided not to leave but to wait for Lu Li’s return at the dock. Not long afterwards, Liu Yi came to the dock with a bunch of disciples of the Liu Family to welcome Lu Li. They didn’t say anything after they saw Xu Yaoyang. After all, the Blood Evil Island was affiliated to the God-down Island.

Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang didn’t come out. Their status was special, and to come to greet Lu Li would cause them to be denounced.

Time passed on. Liu Yi and the others were getting more and more excited. Lu Li travelled a long distance to the Wu Ling County, and he actually survived. Not only that, he had massacred the Bu Family and became famous across the Northern Desert.

Granted, Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang offered great help and a mysterious powerful warrior assisted secretly. But success was not to be belittled. Lu Li coming back alive was a miracle in itself.

“Swish!”

Finally, a seven-colored Fate Wheel flew through the sky from afar. Two people showed up in people’s sight. Liu Yi somehow had the urge to cry, looking at the face that was getting closer and clearer.

Patriarch Seven and Patriarch Nine were all thrilled. When Lu Li came close, Patriarch Seven took the lead to kneel. They all shouted, “Welcome back, Island Owner!”

Liu Yi held back her tears and said with a choking voice, “Welcome home, Island Owner!”

Lu Li didn’t change much compared to when he left. He nodded and said, “Get up now and we will talk when we get back.”

“Island Owner Lu, you are good.”

A cold voice came up. Xu Yaoyang opened his mouth in jealousy, “Island Owner Lu shattered so many obstacles after travelling such a long distance. You put the Wu Ling County in a blood bath and took the Northern Desert by storm. You are such a big shot, but now you are still willing to live here at the small Thousand-island Lake? Your Blood Evil Island affiliating to our island is to shame us. How about when I go back, I report to my father and let the God-down Island affiliate with the Blood Evil Island?”

Lu Li wore cyan-colored robes. He enjoyed neither enough sleep nor meals those days so he looked thinner and tanner. However, his expressions became more composed. His eyes were sparkling, which gave him a strangely impressive temperament.

He didn’t get angry. Instead, he cupped his fists in front of his chest to salute Xu Yaoyang and said, “Young Master Xu, how can you be like this? The Blood Evil Island will always listen to the orders of the God-down Island. We never did anything wrong as well. If you think I have done wrong, please specify and I will correct them. Where did we make a mistake?”

Xu Yaoyang smiled a sneering smile. He somehow felt he was disgusted by Lu Li. The politer Lu Li was, the more uncomfortable he felt.

After some considerations, Xu Yaoyang said with evil light in his eyes, “What you are doing is wrong now. I am the young master of the Xu Family and the future family patriarch. I am your future master. And this is how you greet a master? Kneel down before you talk to me!”

Xu Yaoyang had stayed behind just to shame Lu Li and humiliate him. He wanted to show Bai Xiashuang and Bai Qiuxue that he was the best young master at the Thousand-island Lake and that Lu Li was nothing.

Therefore, in this moment, he wanted Lu Li to drop to his knees. If Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang liked a man that would kneel down easily, they would be insulting themselves.

Swish, swish, swish~

The expressions of Liu Yi and Patriarch Seven changed. Theoretically speaking, Lu Li should kneel to Xu Yaoyang according to their identities and status. But usually, this was not the case. Otherwise, the Xu Family would lose the support of others. Xu Chen would condemn Xu Yaoyang if he knew this.

Nevertheless, Xu Yaoyang was boiling with rage so he couldn’t think this through.

Many people looked at Lu Li, eager to see how he would react. Lu Li was taken by surprise. Then after a casual glance at Xu Yaoyang, he walked into the Blood Evil Fortress.

The only words he left behind were, “How come Xu Yan has such an idiotic son, as thick-headed as a pig. Xu Yaoyang, I will let this one go on account of your father. If you want to demonstrate your power, go back to your God-down Island. Don’t make a fool out of yourself here. Hunchback Tian, if Xu Yaoyang continues to harass us endlessly, just throw him into the lake.”
