Chapter 9: The More People, The More Excited I Am

The bodyguards exchanged glances and then surrounded Lu Xiao.

Regardless if Lu Xiao, the son-in-law of the Qin Family, was legitimate or not, even if he were, he was just a son-in-law, after all.

As for Qin Kai, he was Old Sir Qin's legitimate grandson.

The difference in their status was clear to them.

Whether or not Qin Youling would take control in the future was still far off in the distance.

Even with Old Sir Qin's full support, it likely wouldn't yield results anytime soon.

The Qin Family was already firmly in the grip of Old Sir Qin's three sons.

Thinking they would willingly hand over the power they held so easily was wishful thinking.

Besides, the three sons hadn't intervened which obviously meant they consented to Qin Kai's actions.

"What are you doing? Back off!" Qin Youling stepped forward to stand in front of Lu Xiao, glaring at the approaching bodyguards.

She was very grateful to Lu Xiao, who hadn't stabbed her in the back at the critical moment.

She also felt ashamed; she had cursed Lu Xiao and his ancestors in her mind just moments ago.

Lu Xiao taking Qin Kai's money and slapping his face was clearly a show of support for her.

"Lu Xiao, do you think you can hide behind a woman and be okay?"

"Even if Heaven's King came today, he couldn't protect you—that's what I said!"

"Pull Qin Youling away!" Qin Kai was completely out of control, intent on making Lu Xiao disappear from this world.

To dare to slap me, Qin Kai—damn it does he think he is!

"Lu Xiao, if you can escape later, run as fast as you can." Qin Youling whispered to him.

Qin Kai had completely lost his mind.

Though the bodyguards wouldn't beat Lu Xiao to death right then and there, it would be brutal.

Hearing Qin Youling's words, the corners of Lu Xiao's mouth lifted slightly.

Escape?

Comrade, I have faced artillery fire without flinching on the border battlefields; you expect me to turn and flee from a handful of bodyguards?

"Don't worry, I won't leave my wife behind," Lu Xiao whispered into Qin Youling's ear, then gently wrapped his arms around her slender waist, pulling her behind him.

"Come on, all together now." The next instant, Lu Xiao gestured to the surrounding bodyguards with a hook of his hand, his gaze sharp as a blade.

He had already counted them—seven in total.

Three seconds per person, and problems solved within half a minute.

Just need to control the force of my blows a bit, otherwise knocking out two on the spot would be rather troublesome.

After all, this isn't a battlefield; can't have any fatalities.

"Oh, playing the real man, are you? Then indulge him! Beat him! Beat him to death!"

Upon hearing Qin Kai's order, the bodyguards hesitated somewhat.

They were all former soldiers, and in the army, they had seen plenty of terrifyingly strong freaks.

For some reason, Lu Xiao, at this moment, gave them a sense of fear, as if he were a whole squad of those freaks.

"Go!" Qin Kai urged again.

Damn it, who hired this bunch of bodyguards? Are they all spineless shrimps?

Seven against one and still hemming and hawing.

Once we kill Lu Xiao, I'll replace you all, you useless fools—what trash!

"Full force!" the Bodyguard Captain shouted through clenched teeth, then took the lead charging at Lu Xiao.

At the same time, the other six men also attacked from various angles.

Lu Xiao licked his lips, appreciating that these guys weren't too stupid to coordinate.

Too bad they were a few men short; seventy would be just about right.

After all, the more there are, the more excited I get...

"Start the timer!" Lu Xiao quietly noted to himself, ready to move.

"Stop, stop everything, the old master is waking up!" Right at the critical moment, Zhai Tianmin's loud shout suddenly echoed through the Qin Family Old Mansion.

The seven bodyguards instantly hit the brakes, decisively standing down.

Lu Xiao: ???

What does Old Qin waking up have to do with you? You're just bodyguards, mere employees, carry on!

I'm already half undressed here... that's it?

Lu Xiao gazed resentfully at Zhai Tianmin, thinking you just had to shout, didn't you? I was about to show off my one-versus-seven...

At this moment, Zhai Tianmin was also looking at Lu Xiao with a face full of smug accomplishment.

See how clever I am? Just one shout and I saved you. Otherwise, you would've been beaten like a dead dog by those seven bodyguards!

"What are you all standing there for, take the old master back to his room."

"Lu Xiao, help carry the old master, when he wakes up, he'll definitely want to see you," Qin Youling quickly followed along with Zhai Tianmin's words.

After speaking, Qin Youling incessantly pushed Lu Xiao forward.

Lu Xiao understood Qin Youling's intention; holding Old Qin was like wearing Third-level Armor.

Qin Kai, no matter how suicidal, wouldn't dare to take action.

But… Old Qin at the moment smelled atrocious, covered in vomit.

Even if it killed him, Lu Xiao wasn't going near him!

"Didn't you enjoy watching this? Play along, and I'll give you an eyeful," Qin Youling suddenly leaned in, crossing her arms and squeezing them together.

So big, so white, they're about to burst out!

Lu Xiao breathed rapidly; if you put it that way, then I won't be shy.

"Grandfather, your grandson-in-law is here," Lu Xiao grinned, immediately stepping forward to hoist Old Sir Qin onto his shoulders.

Seeing Lu Xiao pick up the old master, Qin Kai's gaze darkened to its utmost.

To dare use grandfather as a shield!

Scum, despicable scum!

"Brother, make way," Lu Xiao called out as he looked up at Qin Kai.

Qin Kai clenched his fists, his eyes close to bursting with rage.

Who's your brother, does a son-in-law like you deserve it?

"Lu Xiao, don't push me!" Qin Kai's eyes bulged, his rage unbridled.

"Piss me off, and so what if it's the old master!"

"I'll kill you all and see if anyone in the Qin Family dares say half a word against me!"
