Chapter 2360: Chapter 2333: Sharpening the Blades

Although feeling somewhat speechless, Lu Tianxing didn’t say anything more and picked up the clothes beside him to put them on.

The speed at which Lu Tianxing dressed was quick, almost in the blink of an eye, and after bidding farewell to Bai Zhiqing, Lu Tianxing turned and walked outside.

Watching Lu Tianxing’s departing back, the smile on Bai Zhiqing’s face gradually disappeared. Her delicate face revealed an undeniable worry, fists clenched tightly as she softly murmured to herself: “Tianxing, you must take care this time, you must protect yourself well, because if anything happens to you, my world will collapse.”

At some point, Lu Tianxing had completely become her world, and she had gotten used to feeling him by her side. If anything bad were to happen to Lu Tianxing, she truly wouldn’t know how to live out her life. Bai Zhiqing knew that if Lu Tianxing were gone, she would surely end up lonely for the rest of her life, as she would never love another man again; she had given her heart entirely to Lu Tianxing.

Meanwhile, in another direction of Beijing:

In his pajamas, Tang Qingyun sat on the sofa, his expression especially serious, devoid of the joy he had during the wedding, and radiating a chilling aura from head to toe. Today was the fifth day; the time had come for him and Lu Tianxing to confront each other directly. This time, success was the only option, failure was not, for if they failed, the consequences were absolutely beyond what the Tang Family could bear.

Also, the only condition for success this time was to put Lu Tianxing to death; even crippling him wouldn’t suffice. Who knows whether the cultivation technique possibly leaked from that Qi Refiner’s Grave could allow a cripple to train again? They couldn’t gamble, nor afford to take that risk, hence no matter what, Lu Tianxing must be put to death this time.

Moreover, this was the time for him to marry Mu Qingxue. To outsiders, Mu Qingxue was already his woman. Even if he didn’t like Mu Qingxue and only wanted to use her to eliminate Lu Tianxing, she was, at the end of the day, the woman he was betrothed to. If Mu Qingxue were to be taken away by Lu Tianxing, he Tang Qingyun would indeed become a complete joke.

To a man, one can tolerate anything but the humiliation of wearing a green hat. If Mu Qingxue were taken away by Lu Tianxing, then he Tang Qingyun would truly become a laughingstock, a green-haired turtle for life.

Tang Qingyun sat on the sofa with a cigarette burned to the end still in his hand, and before him, the ashtray was filled with cigarette butts.

Today was the fifth day, and ever since he arrived in Beijing, he had been awaiting this day. This time, he intended to use Lu Tianxing’s blood to prove to everyone that the Lu Family’s prodigy would die, and this was the price to pay for offending the Tang Family.

“Lu Tianxing, today marks your death. I want to see what skills you have, enabling you to escape this trap,”

Tang Qingyun murmured lowly: “Today, I’ll use your blood to honor the spirits of my second and third uncles in heaven. Over twenty years ago, my father killed your father, and this time, as a son, I’ll kill you, severing your branch completely.”

The freezing voice echoed in the living room, a cold aura enveloping the air, making the entire villa feel as if it had instantly descended into the harsh heart of winter.

“Thump!” “Thump!”

Just then, the sound of soft footsteps came from outside, quickly bringing Tang Da’s figure into Tang Qingyun’s vision.

Upon seeing Tang Qingyun sitting on the sofa, Tang Da immediately bowed respectfully: “Young Master Tang.”

“How did it go, Tang Da? Is everything I asked you to arrange done?” Tang Qingyun said directly upon seeing Tang Da.

“Young Master, it’s all arranged. I guarantee that no one will interfere during our action.” Tang Da said coldly.

The incident of Lu Tianxing killing Tang Qingyun’s substitute was, no doubt, the most shameful moment of his life. He had to use the blood of the Lu Family to wash away this disgrace.

“Hmm, I understand.”

Tang Qingyun nodded.

“Young Master, should we send people to intercept Lu Tianxing halfway and cause him some trouble?”

“No need; it would be a futile effort. Besides, on the way, others will act; we don’t need to do anything, just wait for him to arrive at the Mu Family.” Tang Qingyun casually waved his hand.

Blocking Lu Tianxing on the way was completely unnecessary.

Lu Tianxing would appear at the Mu Family no matter what; intercepting him on the way and depleting his True Qi had no impact.

Moreover, sending middle-stage Mythical level to intercept Lu Tianxing would be like sending them to death. Sending late-stage Mythical level would not be necessary either.

After all, Lu Tianxing’s trump card hasn’t been revealed yet; sending someone could be walking into a trap.

Furthermore, they didn’t hope for Lu Tianxing not to appear at the Mu Family, but instead, they especially hoped he would show up there, so there was no point in sending someone to stop Lu Tianxing; it was a completely losing proposition.

Upon hearing Tang Qingyun’s words, Tang Da nodded slightly, raised his hand to check the watch’s time, and followed up: “Young Master, it’s almost time for you to don the groom’s attire; the makeup artist has been waiting for you outside for quite a while.”

“Understood, I’ll head upstairs to change clothes and be down immediately.”

Saying so, Tang Qingyun stood from the sofa and turned to head upstairs.

…

On the other side, in the Yang Family:

A broad smile hung on Yang Anlong’s face; he was too excited to sleep last night. Not for anything else, but today was the fifth day, the showdown between Lu Tianxing and Tang Qingyun was about to begin. As long as Tang Qingyun killed Lu Tianxing, it would certainly infuriate the entire Lu Family, allowing him to be a spectator.

By watching the Lu Family and the Tang Family fight to the death, when both sides reach a point of mutually assured destruction, he’ll strike and swallow both factions, possibly elevating the Yang Family to become China’s top family, maybe even restoring the glory of the once Four Great Families. If achieved, Yang Anlong would become the hero of the Yang Family, the most outstanding Family Head, unmatched by anyone.

Yang Anlong sat on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine, gently swirling it. Under the reflection of the light, the wine appeared like blood, incredibly dazzling.
