<h4>Chapter 1638: Chapter 1631: Farewell, Xue Bing</h4>


    "Holy Daughter, since that’s the case, ording to what you’re saying, if it wasn’t the Judge, could it have been someone from the Yanhuang Group or the Yang Family?" Charles spoke again.


    Upon hearing Charles’ words, Avril shook her head and said, "It’s not someone from the Yanhuang Group. Sima Lingyun has no reason to harm me. Killing me doesn’t benefit him in any way; on the contrary, the consequences are beyond what he can bear. He wouldn’t do something so foolish. As for the Yang Family, Yang Anlong might harbor murderous intent toward me, but he wouldn’t strike until we’ve determined a winner between us and Lu Tianxing. Besides, if I were to win, not only would he refrain from killing me, but he would also protect me, as my survival means I could inherit the Pope’s position, which adds an ally for him. He wouldn’t be so foolish as to strike against me. If he were, it would surely be after I lost to Lu Tianxing."


    "Then who on earth acted this time?"


    "I don’t know."


    Avril shook her head again, a trace of helplessness shing across her face. Although she was a clever woman, as the saying goes, you can’t make bricks without straw. The Church has little to no foundation in China, nor any intelligence sources. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen to coborate with the Yang Family. More importantly, both Lu Tianxing and the Lu Family can be said to have enemies everywhere. Trying to sift through them to find the mastermind is like searching for a needle in a haystack.


    "Holy Daughter, what should we do next? Are we just going to ept the loss this time?"


    "ept a loss? Hmph, I’ve eaten a lot in my life, but losses aren’t one of them. I’m going to the Yang Family right now. I don’t think they want to take the me either, so let them help investigate exactly who dared to attack me. I wouldn’t mind tearing them limb from limb. Also, Bishop Charles, have our people conduct an investigation. This time, you only killed the old man; a few myth-level martial artists are still alive. Bring them to me alive—remember, I want them alive."


    As she finished speaking, a cold killing intent erupted from Avril’s body. What happened tonight was a lifetime’s shame and humiliation to her, a blemish that could only be washed away with blood.


    News of Avril’s attack and her narrow escape from death quickly spread throughout Beijing, leaving all noble families shocked and astonished. Many spected about who in the world had the audacity to act in Beijing, trying to assassinate Avril—it was like the proverbial turtle hanging itself, a death wish.


    Assassinating Avril wasn’t just offending the Church; it also meant crossing the Yanhuang Group and even the Lu Family. Offending three giants at once—no one could bear such consequences.


    Amidst the chaos and attempts by various families in Beijing to distance themselves from the matter, Lu Tianxing also drove back to the Han Family Hotel.


    Although it waste at night, the Han Family Hotel was still bright with lights, appearing luxurious even from afar, giving off an extravagant feel.


    Lu Tianxing parked his car at the hotel entrance and handed the car keys to the valet before heading straight toward the hotel lobby without hesitation.


    "Lu Tianxing, you bastard, you’re finally back. Thankfully you didn’t lie to me; otherwise, I would have made you pay today."


    As soon as Lu Tianxing stepped into the hotel, he heard a crisp, slightly irked voiceing from the side.


    Lu Tianxing instinctively turned his head and saw Xue Bing’s pretty and fiery figure approaching. Before he could speak, she was already close, her eyes filled with a tinge of anger as she looked at Lu Tianxing: "Lu Tianxing, you’ve been in Beijing for so many days; why didn’t you tell me? Tell me, are you trying to take advantage and then deny it, you scumbag? Do you want to be an eunuch?"


    Lu Tianxing was immediately exasperated. How did ite to this?


    Starving Ghost, Tan Lang, and Po Jun were all dumbfounded, looking on in shock at the scene unfolding before them. They couldn’t help but give Lu Tianxing a thumbs-up in their hearts. The boss truly lived up to the title, managing to tame such a fierce woman. A real man indeed.


    "Xiao Bing, it’s all a misunderstanding, okay? Besides, why should I contact you? It’s not like you don’t know why I’m in Beijing. Do you want to follow me to your death?" Lu Tianxing said with a wry smile, his eyes involuntarily scanning Xue Bing.


    Today, Xue Bing’s attire was very casual, not particrly fashionable, but coupled with her temperament, it was incredibly eye-catching. Especially her proud Holy Daughter’s peak, stretching the buttons on her chest tightly. Given their close proximity, Lu Tianxing only had to lower his head a little to see an alluring yet forbidden scene.


    "Hmph, what do you mean by that? Do you think Xue Bing is afraid?"


    Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Xue Bing red at him fiercely. What did he mean—thinking she’s a burden, or that she’s afraid of death?


    "No... No, Xiao Bing, don’t misunderstand me. That’s not what I meant at all. Also, could you stop looking at me like that? My brothers are here!"


    When Xue Bing heard Lu Tianxing’s words, she also noticed the three Starving Ghosts standing beside her, their faces full of shock and strange expressions, and a blush couldn’t help but sh across her pretty face, filled with embarrassment.


    Although Xue Bing acts carelessly and shows a fierce demeanor in front of Lu Tianxing, she is ultimately still a woman, and these people are all Lu Tianxing’s brothers. Later on, how would she face these people?


    Seeing the blush sh across Xue Bing’s delicate face, Lu Tianxing looked as if he had witnessed the sun rising from the west, filled with disbelief.


    "You... you’re actually blushing."


    Surprised by Lu Tianxing’s words, Xue Bing instinctively wanted to lose her temper, but upon seeing the Starving Ghosts, she chose to suppress her anger and only red fiercely at Lu Tianxing: "What does it matter to you if I blush?"


    At this moment, Starving Ghost felt like he was a major third wheel, and hurriedly said, "Boss, it’s gettingte. I’m going to the room to rest. Goodbye."


    Speaking, Starving Ghost didn’t wait for Lu Tianxing to say anything, directly pulling Po Jun and Tan Lang, swiftly sneaking away.


    ording to the uing flow, when a woman gets angry, the guy will definitely choose tofort her, and then they might do some enjoyable things. Staying here would make them the biggest third wheel, and they might even have to watch a bunch of romantic antics.


    Seeing Starving Ghost, Po Jun, and Tan Lang leave, Xue Bing’s gaze fell back on Lu Tianxing, coldly saying, "Lu Tianxing, after you came to Beijing, why didn’t you call me? Do you really dislike me that much?"


    Speaking of this, Xue Bing’s face shed a look of extreme grievance, as if she had suffered a huge injustice.


    Lu Tianxing looked at Xue Bing’s manner, suddenly feeling helpless, what’s going on here, her shift in attitude was too quick, from an aggressive interrogator to a look of grievance like an abandoned wife, changing her face too fast, if she entered the entertainment circle, surely an Oscar would be within reach.


    "Xiao Bing, when did I ever dislike you? You know why I came to Beijing, how dangerous it is around me now, you know that, whoever is near me is in great danger, do you understand?" Lu Tianxing said to Xue Bing with a bitter smile.


    This is also the reason why, since arriving in Beijing so many days, he hasn’t had too much contact with others, he hasn’t even gone to find Mu Qingxue. It’s not that Lu Tianxing doesn’t want to see Mu Qingxue, but that circumstances won’t allow it. Given Mu Qingxue’s personality, if she knew he was here and in danger, she would surely help him without reservation, but the Mu Family wouldn’t likely intervene, especially against the Holy Mountain forces. He doesn’t want Mu Qingxue to be caught in the middle because of his issues.


    More importantly, if the Holy Mountain forces found out about his rtionship with Mu Qingxue and these women, they might use them as leverage, which he absolutely doesn’t want to see.


    Xue Bing didn’t speak but looked at Lu Tianxing with sparkling eyes, suddenly giving a charming smile, "You’re sensible, not deceiving me, otherwise I’d show you a lesson."


    "Uh!"


    Lu Tianxing said with a bitter smile: "Xiao Bing, it’s gettingte, why don’t I drive you back to the Yanhuang Group, after I handle this matter, I’ll invite you to dinner to make amends, how about it?"


    "Okay, no problem."


    Xue Bing looked at Lu Tianxing with shining eyes, nodding heavily, but before Lu Tianxing could really rejoice, Xue Bing’s next words directly pulled him into the Eighteenth Layer Hell: "Of course I will go back to Yanhuang Group, but not tonight, only tomorrow morning. So, tonight I’m staying here, and sleeping in the same room."


    "Uh!"


    Lu Tianxing was dumbfounded, looking at Xue Bing with wide eyes, wondering what on earth was going through this girl’s mind, doesn’t she know what will happen when a man and woman stay together alone? Or is she nning to make a move tonight?


    Then at that time, will he choose to be a beast!


    Or choose to be someone even less than a beast, this really is a tough decision.
