Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty-Chapter 547: What Do You Think the City King Mansion Is?
The banquet hall of the City King Mansion was still vast, but what blew Lu Xiao away was the height of this place.
From the outside, the building was at least twenty-seven or twenty-eight meters tall. ๐๐ป๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ธ๐ซ๐๐ก.๐ฌ๐ธ๐
Lu Xiao had thought there would be four or five floors inside, only to realize it was just one.
One floor, with a ceiling height of twenty-eight meters.
Looking up, it was hard to make out the murals carved into the ceiling.
He didnโt know who was the bright mind behind this design.
At that moment, a long dining table was set in the middle of the banquet hall, likely measuring about twenty meters.
"Young Man Lu, please take a seat."
A total of five people sat down, including Lu Xiao, Yu Heng, Zhan Qingyun, as well as Situ Xian and Hai Fu.
"Serve the dishes." After everyone was seated, Situ Xian gently clapped his hands.
Then, people began to enter the banquet hall, each holding a silver platter with exquisite food on it.
Lu Xiao wasnโt in a hurry; after all, the Penglai Holy Land wouldnโt receive the news that quickly.
And even if they did, theyโd probably need to discuss their strategy.
"Then Iโll thank Lord City King for his hospitality and wonโt hold back," Lu Xiao said as he started to feast.
After about half an hour of eating, the serving of dishes ceased.
In front of Lu Xiao were many empty plates, and he had to admit the food was pretty good, with great taste, aroma, and presentation.
Moreover, the dishes were innovative, with nearly half of them remaining a mystery to Lu Xiao even after he finished eating.
"Young Man Lu, are you satisfied?" asked Situ Xian with a smile from the head of the table.
"Not bad, pretty delicious," replied Lu Xiao, nodding as he wiped his mouth.
"Glad to hear it. Now then, shall we talk business?"
Lu Xiao set down his napkin and looked at Situ Xian: "Actually, thereโs not much to discuss. Lord City King must already be aware of the cause and course of events. You just need to make a statement."
Situ Xian gently set down his utensils and after pondering for two seconds, slowly lifted his head: "My stance is to remain neutral."
Zhan Qingyunโs face darkened at the dining table, and though he opened his mouth, no words came out.
If the Royal City maintained neutrality, they would surely push him, the Dean of First Academy, out to appease the anger of the Penglai Holy Land.
In other words, Situ Xian had abandoned him.
"Fine, I understand," Lu Xiao nodded, then stood up.
Situ Xian looked a bit stunned as Lu Xiao prepared to leave, wondering why this young man didnโt even try to negotiate.
"Lu Xiao, why donโt you discuss further with Lord City King?" Hai Fu immediately stood up.
"Whatโs there to talk about? If your Lord City King likes being bullied by the Holy Land, thatโs his business, not mine."
"Besides, I came to give him an opportunity, not to beg."
"Without the Royal City, Penglai would still not dare to touch me," Lu Xiao said nonchalantly, spreading his hands.
The banquet hall was deathly quiet. Although Lu Xiaoโs words were discourteous, they werenโt without reason.
With the strength of the Xuanyuan Tomb, Penglai wouldnโt dare stir trouble.
As long as Xuanyuan Panshi was still there, no power would dare to confront the Xuanyuan Tomb.
Even if Xuanyuan Panshi died, given the strength of the Xuanyuan Tomb, it would likely still stand unshakably.
"Dean, no need to sit around, letโs go," Lu Xiao beckoned to Zhan Qingyun.
"Since Lord Human City King wonโt protect you, I will."
"Just say the word, and from now on, you are with the Xuanyuan Tomb."
Zhan Qingyun blinked twice, realizing that perhaps it wasnโt such a bad idea.
By joining the Xuanyuan Tomb, he would definitely be safe.
"Letโs go, letโs go..." Zhan Qingyun stood up and nodded.
Lu Xiao was right; if Situ Xian wouldnโt protect him, seeking shelter elsewhere wasnโt wrong.
"Bang!" The next second, Situ Xianโs palm ferociously slammed onto the table.
The loud noise echoed throughout the entire banquet hall.
"Comings and goings as you pleaseโwhat do you take my City King Mansion for?!"
