As soon as these words were spoken, the people present sensed that something was amiss.
There seems to be a hidden meaning in what he's saying.
For some reason, they thought of the main character they had just talked about; feature matching in progress...
"Taoist priest," "handsome," "handsome," "young," "petty," "poor"...
Holy crap, a perfect match!
The entire noodle shop seemed to fall silent, and even the air seemed to freeze slightly.
Not only those on the table, but also the people around them turned their gazes toward them.
The old fan in the noodle shop creaked and groaned, and the sound of the wind blowing from it seemed to be clearly audible.
But the burly man seemed completely oblivious, merely pursing his lips on his flushed face.
"What nonsense about 'sweeping away the entire Quanxing'? Does he really think he can kill them all?"
"Then let me ask you, would you kill someone who joined Quanxing and didn't make any mistakes? Would you kill someone who joined Quanxing and made a minor mistake? Would you kill someone who has taken lives but has already left?"
"Now he's all high and mighty with his words, and nobody dares to call themselves Quanxing anymore, but so what?"
"Once the storm passes, Quanxing will still be the same Quanxing."
The burly man reeked of alcohol and was completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere or the astonished expressions on the faces of the people at the table.
Dude, how many lives do you have?!
You dare say that?
Chapter 153: It seems my identity can no longer be hidden...
Finally, the burly man slammed his hand on the table.
The hearts of the people in the noodle shop plummeted to rock bottom.
"If you ask me, when I can't make it in this world anymore, I'll join Quanxing. Once I've made a name for myself, I can clean up my name and become a renowned figure in the world of supernatural beings."
"Huh? Why aren't you all saying anything?"
The burly man belatedly looked at the crowd.
He saw everyone staring at him in a daze, as if they were looking at a tough, unyielding man.
Why is everyone looking at me like that? I feel a little embarrassed.
In a deathly silence, amidst the onlookers' gazes that seemed to say, "He's hopeless, just waiting to die,"...
Lu Xuan clapped his hands gently.
The applause echoed in the quiet noodle shop, as heavy as the tapping of a hammer on everyone's heart.
Lu Xuan spoke softly.
"Brother, that's quite constructive."
"Brother, you think so too?"
The burly man exhaled a breath of alcohol and laughed loudly.
"How about you follow me from now on? I'll protect you from now on."
The moment the words were spoken, the already deathly silence became even more profound.
Especially the skinny old man opposite the burly man, who was already taking out his phone, seemingly contacting the funeral home.
The entire noodle shop was filled with a serious atmosphere of "It's over," "There's no hope," and "Just wait to be reincarnated," as if everyone was about to sit down and wait for the meal to begin.
Even the burly man sensed something was amiss. His gaze swept across the faces of the people waiting for the banquet to begin, before finally settling on Lu Xuan, who had a half-smile on his face.
He sobered up considerably in an instant!
The burly man stood frozen in place, trembling all over, sweat streaming down his oily face.
Holy crap! Could I really be this unlucky?
Then, Lu Xuan slowly raised his hand.
Don't open your mouth in your next life! ×N
Everyone sighed inwardly, but dared not run away, waiting for the next "original cut pork chop".
But then, Lu Xuan picked up his chopsticks.
He gently placed his arm across the neck of the thin old man opposite the burly man, seemingly to contact the funeral home.
The wooden chopsticks, however, sent a chill down my spine.
The skinny old man's body stiffened abruptly, a barely perceptible glint of coldness flashing in his eyes, and he said in a panic.
"Master Lu, I didn't say anything!"
“You didn’t say it, but…”
Lu Xuan looked at the thin old man in front of him, who seemed to be trembling with fear, and spoke softly, his voice reaching the ears of everyone in the noodle shop.
"Your lotus flower ballad performance was quite good just now. You've used quite a few flower-playing techniques, haven't you?"
"Old Hua Guan: Hong Laoqi?"
The thin old man's face suddenly darkened, and the feigned fear vanished, leaving only his most genuine terror.
Found...
Lu Xuan's words were like a thunderclap, instantly shattering the deathly silence and heavy atmosphere in the noodle shop.
"Old Hua Guan Hong Lao Qi? Holy crap, it's him?"
"Is he involved in human trafficking and child trafficking? It's said that Hong Laoqi sold his wife, children, and grandchildren?"
"No, what is a Flower Official?"
The customers in the noodle shop, who were already on the verge of running away, were in an uproar, leaving only the burly man who had just left looking stunned.
He was the one who asked the question, "What is the Flower Official?"
burly man: Huh? What? Huh?
The title "Hua Guan" originated in the Song Dynasty. It is said that Li Chenfei, the birth mother of Emperor Renzong of Song, was replaced by the crown prince by Empress Liu E with a skinned civet cat.
Although a kind palace maid died in her place, she still wandered among the common people, suffering injustice for twenty years. She lived in a cold cave, and was fortunate to be supported by two beggars, Zhang and Li. Later, when Judge Bao distributed grain in Chenzhou, Empress Li was finally able to clear her name.
To express her gratitude to the two beggars for saving her life, Empress Li bestowed upon them the title of "Beggar Officials," granting them the authority to beg for food by imperial decree...
Of course, this is purely unofficial history, and could even be considered a fabrication.
But that doesn't stop those big beggars and beggar leaders from embellishing their own reputations and bestowing upon themselves the title of "flower official."
This didn't stop Hong Laoqi from shamelessly changing his name to Hong Laoqi after reading modern novels about the Beggars' Sect, hoping to gain some prestige.
In reality, the Beggars' Sect was never a good thing.
Just like the skinny old man named Hong Laoqi, he was actually a beast who trafficked children and women and sold human beings.
Most importantly, of course, he is also Quanxing.
Holy crap! Are they really going to kill me?
Is the rumor true?
Seeing this, everyone in the noodle shop except the owner who was still pulling noodles rushed towards the door, even the burly man was pushed and shoved towards the door.
Run! Don't let the blood splatter on us.
Just as everyone reached the door, the noodle shop door slammed shut by itself without any wind, cutting off their hopes of escape.
The burly man's eyes widened immediately.
Is this a deliberate attempt to wipe them out completely?
Then, Lu Xuan's voice came from afar behind them.
"You Quanxing people, you don't think I didn't recognize you, do you?"
"Clap hands: Liu Yuan, beggar: Hong Si, starving ghost: Xu Laosan..."
As Lu Xuan called out names one by one, the crowd, who had been running towards the door in fear like innocent bystanders, all stopped in their tracks, their faces grim.
They originally planned to sell Hong Laoqi and run away, but now it seems that Lu Xuan is after them.
The crowd stopped pretending and turned to look at Lu Xuan.
After Lu Xuan called out their names one by one, he spoke casually.
"Today, you will all die."
The moment these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the noodle shop was instantly filled with a chilling tension.
Once their facade was exposed, none of them pretended anymore.
"Master Lu, are you really not going to give us a way out?"
“Lu Xuan, we’ve always kept to ourselves and Wudang, and never interfered with each other.”
"Damn it, I'm just an innocent member of the Quanxing faction who happened to be passing by!"
"Master Lu, is there no room for negotiation?"
The crowd resorted to various tactics, including forceful threats, half-hearted probing, and even begging for mercy, all in an attempt to escape Lu Xuan's clutches.
The only burly man who wasn't named: "..."
It wasn't until then that he truly realized what was happening.
Holy crap, so you guys are all from Quanxing!
"What do you mean? Aren't you one?"
Beside the burly man, the Quanxing member who had been sitting next to him gave him a thumbs up.
"Man, you're really tough, a true iron man, you didn't let our Quanxing down!"
"How dare you say so much in front of Lu Xuan, that killer star."
"But how come I've never seen you before?"
