<h4>Chapter 1693: Chapter 1686: Juxiang Building</h4>


    In Beijing, there are quite a few renowned restaurants and hotels, and this time Liu Jingshan has chosen Juxiang Building for the get-together, which is one of them.


    Juxiang Building is situated in the northeast of Beijing, mainly operating as a restaurant. Each chef there is quite famous for their culinary skills. Michelin restaurants have invited Juxiang Building to join and be a Michelin three-star restaurant, but it was refused by Juxiang Building. ording to them, Chinese cuisine doesn’t need outsiders to evaluate it.


    Due to thesements, Juxiang Building quickly became popr in Beijing. Coupled with the mouth-watering food, it has be one of the city’s most famous restaurants, and besides the expensive top-floor private rooms, prices on other floors are quite affordable. So at mealtime, Juxiang Building’s business is extremely booming.


    Although Liu Jingshan suddenly inviting him for a meal left Lu Tianxing perplexed as to the reason, it didn’t bother him at all. If someone invites you for a meal, of course, you go. After all, it’s noting out of your pocket. If it’s free, there’s no reason not to eat, and no heartache after indulging.


    So, Lu Tianxing came, and not just him, but Avril apanied him too.


    After parking the car in the parking lot, Lu Tianxing and Avril got out, and without hesitation, strode confidently towards Juxiang Building.


    Meanwhile, in the top-floor private room of Juxiang Building, Liu Jingshan sat back, holding a cup of Longjing tea, slightly closing his eyes, awaiting Lu Tianxing’s arrival, pondering how to broach this topic and how to use this opportunity to resolve the feud between Lu Tianxing and the Liu Family.


    Downstairs, upon entering Juxiang Building, Lu Tianxing and Avril were quickly approached by a waiter. After mentioning Liu Jingshan’s name, and confirming Lu Tianxing’s identity, the waiter promptly led them to the top floor of Juxiang Building.


    Upon reaching a private room door on the top floor, the waiter stopped, gently knocked twice, and addressed Lu Tianxing and Avril, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Liu is already waiting for you inside."


    Lu Tianxing wore a faint smile, nodding slightly, and together with Avril entered the private room.


    Inside the private room, Liu Jingshan, upon seeing Lu Tianxing walk in, immediately shed a bright smile. His eyes briefly lit up seeing Avril follow like a little wife, not saying a word, before his expression quickly returned to normal.


    "Mr. Lu, you’ve finally arrived, sorry for not weing you sooner, I hope you don’t mind."


    Liu Jingshan stood up with a smile, ncing at Avril meaningfully, "Mr. Lu, you definitely have a knack."


    "Haha, Family Head Liu jests, it’s nothing special."


    Lu Tianxing’s face was full of smiles, addressing Liu Jingshan, "Family Head Liu, you’re too kind. To have the honor of you inviting me is a privilege. If Family Head Liu were to personally greet me, it would truly cost my longevity."


    "Haha, Mr. Lu jests. Alright, everyone, stop standing around, please have a seat, let’s sit. I’ll have the waiter serve the dishes."


    Lu Tianxing and Avril, hearing Liu Jingshan’s words, hesitated not, directly taking their seats.


    Liu Jingshan said nothing more, left the room to signal the waiter to start serving dishes, then returned to the room to continue chatting with Lu Tianxing, yet repeatedly avoiding the main topic.


    As for Liu Jingshan’s intentions, Lu Tianxing wasn’t interested in guessing. Since the other party wasn’t nning to address the main issue, he followed Liu Jingshan’s lead and engaged in small talk.


    Meanwhile, Avril sat with a frosty expression, silent, still distracted by the earlier incident at the hotel where Lu Tianxing had audaciouslymented as she was changing attire, critiquing her figure—this part has too much flesh, that part not pert enough, this won’t do, that neither. Even knowing Lu Tianxing was rambling nonsense, Avril could not restrain the anger arising within her, as any woman would dislike being told her figure’scking.


    Just as Lu Tianxing and Liu Jingshan were conversing, a number of waitstaff brought up the meal, soon setting the table with exquisite dishes, the rich aroma immediately filling the room.


    Lu Tianxing didn’t hold back either, and directly invited Avril to eat. From the casual chat just now, Lu Tianxing hadpletely understood that this time Liu Jingshan definitely had a request for him, but since Liu Jingshan didn’t want to be the first to speak, he was toozy to ask anyway. After all, it was Liu Jingshan who had a request for him, not the other way around.


    For a moment, the entire dinner fell into silence, with no one speaking, only the sound of eating reverberating.


    Seeing Lu Tianxing not say a word, Liu Jingshan wasn’t stupid and could easily guess that Lu Tianxing was probably waiting for him to speak first. A wry smile arose in his heart; it seemed Lu Tianxing wasn’t just a brute who liked fighting and killing, but rather a more terrifying person than Lu Tianzhan in the past, entirely surpassing his predecessor.


    In fact, Liu Jingshan now had a vague feeling in his heart that as long as Lu Tianxing didn’t die and the Lu Family intended to expand its influence, no family could block the Lu Family’s progress. Even if Lu Tianxing wasn’t the strongest person of this era, he was definitely one of the strongest figures of this era, suppressing an entire epoch.


    Taking a deep breath, Liu Jingshan picked up a nearby ss of wine, poured a ss for Lu Tianxing, then poured one for himself. After taking a sip, he slowly began to speak: "Mr. Lu, to tell you the truth, the reason I came to you is because someone has asked me to mediate, to plead with you."


    Hearing Liu Jingshan’s words, Lu Tianxing knew he couldn’t continue to y deaf and mute. Slowly putting down his chopsticks, he said faintly, "Family Head Liu, let’s not beat around the bush. Are you nning to be a mediator for the Sun Family this time?"


    "Mr. Lu, you know?"


    Liu Jingshan trembled slightly. Despite his state of mind, upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, he couldn’t help but shiver a bit. How did Lu Tianxing know about this matter?


    "Otherwise?"


    Lu Tianxing nced at Liu Jingshan and said faintly: "I investigated the Sun Family’s information, and the data showed that you have a good rtionship with Sun Yaoyang. When Sun Yaoyang came to Beijing before, you often hosted him. When you two were young, you were ssmates, with a very good rtionship. Moreover, in China, the families with a feud against me are only the Tang Family, the Yang Family, the Sun Family, and the Heavenly God. Though others hate me, they may not have the guts or capability to confront me. As for the Yang Family, the Tang Family, and the Heavenly God, they don’t need to find you to be a mediator based on their family power. Among these people, only the Sun Family needs you to mediate. More importantly, the Sun Family plotted against me not long ago. It was only at noon today that I called Sun Yaoyang, and tonight you, Family Head Liu, say you’ve been entrusted by someone to mediate and plead for mercy for me. Obviously, the one asking you to mediate is the Sun Family. Am I right, Family Head Liu?"


    Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Liu Jingshan suddenly trembled inside, nodding with a bitter smile, and said: "Mr. Lu, you’re absolutely right. Indeed, Sun Yaoyang asked me to be this mediator. He hopes you can spare the Sun Family this time. He said he’s willing to agree to any request you have as long as you spare the Sun Family."


    "Agree to any request? Family Head Liu, if I say I want all their lives, would he agree?" Lu Tianxing put down his chopsticks, smiled, and said.


    "Uh!"


    Listening to Lu Tianxing’s words, the bitter smile on Liu Jingshan’s face grew thicker. Asking for the lives of everyone in the Sun Family, if Sun Yaoyang could agree, that would be strange.


    "Mr. Lu, is there really no possibility of reconciliation?" Liu Jingshan sighed and said.


    "Family Head Liu, if someone wanted to kill your whole family, knowing who they are and having absolute confidence to eliminate them, would you let them go because of a few words?" Lu Tianxing said lightly.


    Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Liu Jingshan opened his mouth several times, wanting to say something, yet he couldn’t utter a word. Would he let them go? Anyone would know with their backside that it’s impossible. They want to kill your whole family, yet you’re still contemting letting them go; one would have to be extremely idiotic to do such a thing.


    "Family Head Liu, if you wouldn’t be willing, what makes you think I would be? Moreover, do you know what I’d face if Avril truly died at the hands of someone sent by the Sun Family? Not only would I die, but my woman, including everyone rted to me along with the Lu Family, would be wiped out with no ce for burial, nothing left alive. Do you know what ’nothing left alive’ means?"


    Looking at Liu Jingshan, Lu Tianxing spoke in a calm voice: "Personally, I don’t like causing trouble everywhere, nor do I want to make enemies. But I always believe in one thing: whoever makes me unhappy for a moment, I’ll make them unhappy for a lifetime, treat them as they treat me, that’s my code of conduct."


    Lu Tianxing’s words were very calm, as if talking to a stranger, without any emotional changes. But when they reached Liu Jingshan’s ears, he couldn’t help but swallow a gulp of saliva. In Lu Tianxing’s words, he heard a dense killing intent, thick enough to permeate, giving him a feeling of being in a sea of corpses and blood.


    "Mr. Lu, is there really no way to resolve this?" Liu Jingshan spoke with ast bit of hope.
