Invincible Martial King

Bai Cangkong and his granddaughter were very polite to Lu Chen. Not only did they thank him for saving Bai Qingfeng's life, they also admired his alchemy skills. Bai Cangkong even asked Bai Yunliang to become Lu Chen's disciple, but he was casually refused.    

Bai Cangkong's actions were out of consideration for his own value, but if he finds out that there are too many secrets, not only will it not be a good thing, it might even turn into a disaster.    

Since Lu Chen had nothing to do, he spent most of his time in the house. Other than Bai Yunlai and his elder brother, Bai Qingfeng, who came to visit a few times, no one came to disturb him.    

Lu Chen closed his eyes and circulated his soul power. Although his cultivation level did not improve, it had consolidated a lot. At this moment, the sound of steady footsteps came from outside the door. He suddenly opened his eyes and a trace of sharpness could be seen in his eyes.    

"Lu Chen, Mr. Lu."    

"Have you slept well during these two days at my Bai Family?" Bai Jian walked into the room softly and greeted Lu Chen. His warm attitude made it seem as if the two of them were good friends who had known each other for many years.    

"You have something to talk to me about?" Lu Chen glanced at her and said faintly.    

"Of course there is. Before, because of some small matters, I offended you so I came over to apologize." Bai Jian bowed and said slowly, "I hope Mr. Lu can forgive me."    

"I don't have a good relationship with Third Sister, so I misunderstood you back then. I hope we can become friends in the future."    

"Friends?" Lu Chen had a weird expression on his face. He even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. Did Bai Jian's temper change today? Did he take the wrong medicine?    

According to Lu Chen's observation during the past two days, the father and son pair of Bai Hai and Bai Yunxiao were very close. Since he helped Bai Qingfeng to recover from his injuries, Bai Jian probably couldn't wait to chop him off.    

He didn't want to care about the battles between the Bai Family and other clans. If Bai Jian had any bad intentions towards him, he wouldn't mind giving the former a deep lesson.    

"Since Young Master Bai Jian has said so, I, Lu Chen, am not a stingy person. From today onwards, we are friends." Lu Chen's face was full of smiles as he acted like he was the elder brother of the two of us, causing Bai Jian to be stunned for a moment.    

"He really is an inexperienced young man. To think that he would be fooled so easily." Bai Jian sneered in his heart, but his face revealed a brilliant smile.    

"You can call me Bai Jian, but I won't be polite and call you Brother Lu."    

"Brother Lu sure is secretive. Two days ago, I watched you defeat Great Master Hu in your pill refining competition. I truly admire you from the bottom of my heart."    

"It just so happens that today's weather is pretty good. I just wanted to come and settle our grudge with you. If Brother Lu doesn't mind, I've already arranged a feast. How about we go out for a drink?" Bai Jian chuckled and said passionately.    

"Brother Bai, it's not that I want to reject your good intentions."    

"But I really don't know how to drink." Since the other party wanted to put on an act, Lu Chen didn't mind playing along with him. He wanted to see what Bai Jian had in mind.    

"It doesn't matter."    

"Brother Lu doesn't know how to drink. You can use tea in place of wine. The most important thing is that I can apologize to you with wine."    

"I don't like to drink either, but in order to express my apologies to Brother Lu, I specially prepared some wine. I hope you won't reject my good intentions."    

"Since that's the case..." Lu Chen felt troubled for a moment.    

"Brother Lu, don't worry. I, Bai Jian, have acted with integrity. We are already friends. I am only inviting you out for a banquet. On behalf of my big brother, I thank you." Seeing Lu Chen hesitate, Bai Jian continued to speak in a soft tone.    

"Then... "Alright then …" Lu Chen agreed after a moment of silence.    

"Is that right!?" Bai Jian laughed, with a flash of coldness in his eyes.    

Under Bai Jian's lead, they walked for an entire hour before arriving at a small garden in the center of the lake. This place had clearly been arranged beforehand, with dozens of guards guarding the surroundings, and all of them had a strong killing intent, their soul power fluctuations were unusually strong, all of them at least an existence of Martial Cultivator Stage. As expected of a huge being like Bai Family, even ordinary guards had this kind of strength.    

Lu Chen secretly sized up the surrounding scene. He walked along the small path to the center of the pavilion and found a figure already sitting inside.    

He was a very young man, slender as a javelin. He had sharp eyebrows, a high nose bridge, thin but tight lips, and a pair of flashing eyes.    

"Cousin, this is Mr. Lu, the one who cured Brother Qingfeng, right?"    

"I never would have thought that he would be so young. This is truly an eye-opener for me."    

Seeing the two of them enter, the young man quickly stood up and stared at Lu Chen with a burning gaze.    

Lu Chen noticed that the murderous aura was concentrated between his brows. This person was clearly not a good person. Moreover, he seemed to have a faint smell of herbs, as if he was in constant contact with plants and herbs.    

"Brother Lu, don't worry. He's my cousin named Bai Yang. He is considered a disciple with a bit of a reputation in our Blue Cloud Sect." Afraid that Lu Chen wouldn't be used to it, Bai Jian was the first to speak and introduced him.    

"So that's how it is." Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. Then, he quickly came to his senses and nodded at Bai Yang in greeting.    

"Everyone, don't sit down. I've already meticulously prepared all of you for this banquet today. If you have any strange beasts or treasures, you should all enjoy them." Bai Jian laughed out loud and clapped his hands. Immediately, more than ten servants brought the dishes up, as if they were afraid that Lu Chen would not know the details of each dish.    

"Brother Lu, this is the brain of a rank 3 Raging Flaming Tiger. It is very fresh and delicious and can nourish the vitality. You must not eat too much." Bai Jian's enthusiasm was extraordinary, and so was his cousin, Bai Yang, beside him. The two of them sang in unison as they called each other brother. If Lu Chen hadn't seen Bai Jian's haughty attitude two days ago, he wouldn't even be able to recognize that this was the same person.    

Bai Jian was obviously well-prepared. Lu Chen, on the other hand, did not reject any of them. Warriors were also people, and they also had a need for good wine and good food. Bai Jian ate happily without the slightest worry.    

"Cousin, it seems like Brother Lu is very satisfied with today's dishes." If there was a deeper meaning in looking at Bai Jian, the smile on Bai Yang's face became even wider.    

"Lu Chen, eat more. I was rude to you two days ago."    

"Today, I will drink three cups of my own punishment in front of you." Bai Jian gulped down three cups of wine.    

"I'm fine."    

Lu Chen kept a close eye on the two of them. These meals were indeed good, but from the beginning till now, he had already felt that something was wrong. However, he was not nervous at all as he continued to act with the two of them.
