It's All Right, You Can Refuse

"I'm quite satisfied."

Lu Changzhi nodded and smiled, then changed the subject, saying:

"How about we put this minor matter aside for now and talk about another small matter?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Pi's heart skipped a beat.

The smile on his face immediately became more unnatural.

His throat bobbed, and after a moment's hesitation, he said:

"Young Master Lu, may I ask what trivial matter you wish to discuss?"

Lu Changzhi smiled and said:

"We have some kind of relationship."

Huang Pi remained silent upon hearing this, offering only a dry laugh in response.

What can you say?

Given the other party's unreasonable mindset, there's no way to tell if the "friendship" they're talking about is actually "the fact that I gave them something."

"Since that's the case, then I won't beat around the bush with you. Now, I need you to help me review my lessons," Lu Changzhi said.

"Reviewing the lessons?"

Huang Pi was taken aback, and a variety of guesses flashed through his mind.

Do you want to be guided, or do you want to learn and develop your own methods?

"Not bad." Lu Changzhi nodded, and said seriously:

"Regarding what happened last time, my elders said I was too conservative. After much thought and painful reflection, I realize they were right. But it's too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost..."

Lu Changzhi's voice suddenly paused, then he smiled broadly:

"What a coincidence that I happened to be here today, and you happened to be here too, so let's do it again."

Apart from Sun Yi and Chen Kun, everyone else was somewhat confused.

Many people are still unsure about the exact nature of the relationship between the two.

Then they heard the boy utter two words.

"Robbery."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Everyone present had one or more question marks appearing above their heads.

What's the relationship between them?

Why are they robbing people?

Senior Huang, this is Saint King Realm expert.

Rob someone as powerful as that?!

Seriously?

Looking at Lu Changzhi's expression and considering the specific circumstances, everyone quickly understood.

This was clearly a joke between the two.

Huang Pi, however, did not think so at all.

You're kidding me.

That's a joke!

This is no joke!

Huang Pi's heart, which had been trying to calm down, ultimately could not find peace.

In the end, I couldn't escape it.

He concealed his presence but was called out; he tried to divert attention but was pulled back to his original position.

"What's so great about this robbery?!"

Huang Pi was utterly speechless.

You are the son of Lu Yuan, what is your status and position?

What is there to rob about a mere Saint King like myself?

Was it really just a momentary urge to play?

But how could anyone in this world treat robbery as a game?

Lu Changzhi, observing Huang Pi's reaction, spoke again:

"It's okay, you can refuse."

Upon hearing this, Huang Pu looked at Lu Changzhi.

To outsiders, the smile on the other person's face looked so genuine.

Huang Pi immediately became wary.

"That kid couldn't possibly be that kind-hearted!"

Huang Pi immediately came to a conclusion.

The group that chased after him last time and robbed him until only his grandson was left was probably secretly ordered by this kid.

This kid was just as polite at the beginning of the last robbery.

But he's learned his lesson the hard way.

If he really refuses now, who knows what else this cunning and sly kid might do to him.

Between two equally harmful options, choose the one with the lesser harm.

Immediately, Huang Pi snapped out of his daze, smiled, and then, in front of everyone, took off the storage ring from his hand and handed it to Lu Changzhi, saying at the same time:

"Young Master Lu, we haven't been out for long and don't have much. Since you're determined to rob us, I have no choice but to reluctantly hand over the storage ring."

This time, he was telling the truth.

Since becoming famous, coupled with the Huang Clan's reputation, he has hardly encountered any major troubles and has lived a rather comfortable life.

The last robbery, however, taught him a valuable lesson.

In addition, he was robbed clean last time, so this time he didn't bring much with him at all.

The only thing of some value is a body-refining technique that was recently discovered within the Chen Clan's territory, but the person who left the technique had limited strength in life, so its value is not very high.

Compared to the last time, this isn't particularly precious.

Having lost such a large sum of money last time, this is much easier to accept in comparison.

However, this scene, as seen by onlookers, immediately astonished everyone Celestial Person.

Just because of one sentence, he actually handed over his storage ring?

"This must be a joke, otherwise how could he be so obedient? But just who is this young man? Even when the patriarch was dealing with the Huang Clan, he never reached this level."

Some of the Chen Clan's experts were completely baffled, looking at Lu Changzhi with great curiosity.

At the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, there were also many unsuspecting people who were shocked.

What exactly did these Saint King Realm experts go through? Why did their actions seem somewhat subservient?

At this moment, Lu Changzhi accepted the storage ring.

By probing with his mind, he quickly learned what was inside the storage ring.

The selection is smaller and of lower quality; it's clearly not in the same league as the last time.

Of course, he wasn't too surprised, and besides, his purpose this time wasn't to rob anyone.

This is just a means to an end right now.

At that moment, Lu Changzhi withdrew his thoughts from his storage ring, looked at Huang Pi, and smiled:

"I didn't expect you to be so proactive, but unfortunately, none of your stuff is very good."

Upon hearing this, Huang Pi shook his head and sighed, saying:

"Young Master Lu, these valuable items aren't so easy to find. If possible, I'd be willing to let you rob them and gain something."

It looks like they're about to lose interest; if I take the initiative, maybe I can make them lose interest and not want to play anymore.

Sure enough, Lu Changzhi said:

"It's kind of you to have this thought, but it's a pity..."

The first part of the sentence was exactly what Huang Pi expected, but the second part...

"Unfortunately, as my elders said, a robbery should look like a robbery, so..."

Huang Pi paused slightly, then looked at Lu Changzhi, who was sizing him up, and felt a chill run down his spine.

"This time we can't just rob this little bit; we need to make the robbery even more thorough."

Huang Pi: "..."

As Huang Pi fell silent, a deathly stillness suddenly descended upon the void.

At this moment, Huang Pi didn't want to say anything.

What else can be said? A sudden uprising?

Ha, that group last time, at first glance it looked like there was only one person.

But as soon as they made a move, a group of them suddenly appeared.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there seem to be only these people here; who knows how many more are hiding in the shadows.

When they strike, they strike with deadly force, each blow landing squarely on the flesh, a resounding blow to the lower back.

He really didn't want to go through that experience again.

The problem is, if we don't experience it ourselves, are we supposed to just do what the other person says?

Last time they almost robbed me of everything, do they want to be even more thorough this time?

Does this mean they have to shave themselves completely, leaving not a single feather behind?

Just when he was at his wit's end, an idea suddenly flashed into Huang Pi's mind like lightning.

Upon having this idea, Huang Pi felt a sudden sense of clarity.

He has a solution to the current problem!
