The next day, the news of Meng Jue's murder had spread throughout Black Rock City.

As for Han Zhao, who killed Meng Jue, he was walking to Xu's house in a swaggering manner.

At noon today, Butler Zhou sent someone to inform him that Xu Zhengdao, the head of the Xu family who was doing business outside, sent a letter announcing that Xu Ling would take over the family business.

It just so happened that today was the day for the issuance of a lump sum, and Han Zhao's dream of making a living would be realized today, so he decided to celebrate with Xu Ling and get some luck.

After a while, Han Zhao came to the backyard of Xu's house with ease.

He walked into Xu Ling's room and saw that the round table was already filled with all kinds of fine wine and delicacies.

"Junior Brother Han, you are here." Xu Ling stood up to greet him, "I asked the butler to go to Zuiyue Tower to reserve a seat. Unexpectedly, it was already full at noon, so I bought wine and food to eat at home."

"I just like to eat at home, so we can practice together while eating." Han Zhao said with a genuine smile.

"You can practice by yourself after eating." Xu Ling rolled her eyes at him.

"It's more efficient to practice together. It just so happens that I can check your practice progress."

Han Zhao said seriously that his special Qi seeding effect could instill the pure Qi in his body into Xu Ling, improving her cultivation progress.

Of course, the reverse is also possible.

Xu Ling's cheeks turned red and she said nothing.

As soon as the two of them sat down, the maid Luzhu walked in carrying a food box.

"Miss Third, these are the snacks that Baixiangju just made."

"Put it here." Xu Ling pointed to the empty space on the table.

"Yes." Luzhu put the exquisite snacks on the table and looked at Han Zhao quietly.

[The freshly made hazelnut cake tastes sweet, but there is a little bit of seasoning added to it. Based on your ability to avoid poison, it is equivalent to a spicy taste. 】

Han Zhao picked up a piece of hazelnut cake, and a system prompt suddenly appeared.

"Lv Zhu." Han Zhao put the hazelnut cake in front of Lv Zhu.

"Mr. Han, I..." Luzhu lowered his eyes, glanced at Xu Ling shyly, and immediately took a step back.

"Junior Brother Han?" Xu Ling looked at Han Zhao doubtfully. Based on his understanding of Han Zhao, such behavior was really abnormal.

"What? You don't want to eat, or you still don't dare to eat?" Han Zhao smiled lightly.

"I..." Luzhu looked panicked and quickly lowered his head to cover it up.

"You must eat it!" Han Zhao suddenly stood up and grabbed Lu Zhu's neck.

"Miss Third?!" Lu Zhu was so frightened that her eyes filled with tears, and she looked at Xu Ling as if asking for help.

Xu Ling stood up suddenly, "Hazelnut cake is poisonous?!"

"Lv Zhu! You have followed me for twelve years?! Why?" Xu Ling looked at Lv Zhu in disbelief.

As if thinking of something, she lost her voice and said: "Is it my second brother?"

"Ah!" Han Zhao tapped Lv Zhu's lower abdomen with his finger, and she suddenly let out a scream and fell to the ground, convulsing continuously.

"If you don't say anything, you will feel this pain in the next three days." Han Zhao said expressionlessly.

"I said, I said!"

Luzhu was rolling on the ground in pain, crying and telling everything.

"Third Miss, please spare me! It's the Second Young Master..."

Luzhu cried and hugged Xu Ling's thigh.

Seeing Xu Ling's dull expression, Han Zhao stretched out a finger and pointed at Luzhu's lower abdomen, causing the health-preserving energy to stop flowing.

"Now follow your plan and call Xu Jin! Of course, you can also try to escape and bet on whether it will hurt to death."

"Yes! I'll go right away!" Luzhu ran out of the room as if she had been granted amnesty.

Han Zhao walked up to Xu Ling and gently hugged her into his arms, "Now it's your turn to make a decision, whether you want to continue the show or not."

After a long silence, Xu Ling nodded: "I... understand."

After a while, the sound of rapid footsteps was heard, and Han Zhao and Xu Ling lay down on the table.

Xu Jin walked into the room and saw the two of them lying motionless on the table, without even stepping forward to check, so he laughed loudly.

"Hahahaha! Good death! Good death!"

"Second...Second Young Master, I..." Luzhu's voice was trembling.

"Luzhu, don't worry, I promise you, I...go to hell!" The smile on Xu Jin's face disappeared instantly, and he punched Lv Zhu right in the heart.

"Poof!" Lu Zhu screamed, vomiting blood, "Second Young Master?!"

"You, a cheap servant, still want to be my equal wife in the next life!" Xu Jin said disdainfully.

"Ha...haha! Cough cough cough..." Luzhu's face turned pale and he pointed at Xu Jin and laughed. He kept coughing out blood, and soon he was losing more air and less air.

Xu Jin raised his hand to punch again, but found that his wrist was suddenly grabbed.

"Han Zhao?!" Xu Jin looked shocked, and suddenly felt a force entering his body from his veins, and his body went numb instantly.

"Forget it, don't argue with him."

Han Zhao said to Lu Zhu.

"Okay...ok!" Luzhu instantly understood what Han Zhao meant, with a hint of pleasure in her eyes. She glanced at Xu Ling for the last time, "Miss Third, I was wrong...wrong...

"

Luzhu's eyes widened and he died.

Xu Ling stepped forward and closed her eyes for her.

"You..." Xu Jin still didn't understand that he had fallen into the trap, and immediately his knees softened and he fell to the ground: "Third sister, this bitch Lu Zhu encouraged me to do this.

Impulsive, we are all brothers and sisters! Can you spare me this time?!"

Han Zhao looked on with cold eyes and said nothing.

Xu Ling raised his head slightly, looked at the sky outside the window, and took a long breath: "Junior Brother Han, he is my second brother after all..."

Saying that, Xu Ling turned his back.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Han Zhao's eyes.

Xu Jin felt happy, and when he was about to continue speaking softly, Xu Ling suddenly said in a deep voice: "You shouldn't have taken action against my Junior Brother Han!"

"?" Xu Jin's expression froze and his eyes suddenly widened: "Xu Ling, what did you say?!"

"Sorry to trouble you, Junior Brother Han." Xu Ling did not look back.

"Xu Ling! I am your second brother! How dare you..."

Click!

Accompanied by the sound of the Tianling Cap shattering, Xu Jin's frightened screams suddenly stopped, and his body fell beside Lv Zhu.

Han Zhao walked up to Xu Ling.

Her eyes were red, and there was a cry in her voice: "Second brother, he was very good to me when I was a child, and Luzhu."

"It's hard for you, you've done a good enough job. And..." Han Zhao hugged her: "I knew we were on the same page."

...

After Xu Ling calmed down, she asked Han Zhao to leave first while she dealt with the aftermath.

Han Zhao didn't say anything and left Xu House directly.

Han Zhao was impressed by her ability to deal with Xu Jin decisively.

After all, we are relatives who have lived together for more than 20 years. It is understandable to be sad and understandable to be soft-hearted, but it is impossible to be soft-hearted!

For Han Zhao, whoever harms him in reality will die.

anyone!

After returning home, Han Zhao closed the door tightly.

This accident made him feel the need to simulate it.

"system."

[Collect 60 reminder fragments, do you want to synthesize the entry? 】

[Synthesize once, consume 45 reminder fragments and 60 taels of gold...]

[Current balance: 170 taels of gold]

"After Xu Jin is solved, and Xu Ling takes full control of the family business, resources can be integrated, which means that I will not be short of money in a short time."

"First improve the root bones and improve the efficiency of cultivation."

Han Zhao thought to himself.

"Synthesis, start simulation."
