The night was vast and obscure as Lin Xiao drove toward Chu Xiangxue's villa. Since the Chu Family was a member of the A9 Alliance, he couldn't just sit by and do nothing when trouble struck. Although Chu Xiangxue hadn't specified what the trouble was on the phone, Lin Xiao knew that if it were something minor, she wouldn't have called him, let alone use the word "beg."

Thus, Lin Xiao had to temporarily abandon his plan to assassinate the Zhao Family. To him, the Zhao Family was already a fish on his chopping board; he could kill them whenever he pleased.

Soon, he arrived at Chu Xiangxue's residence. It was a small, standalone, two-story villa. While not large, its surroundings were pleasant, enveloped by lush trees that made it feel as if it were built in a park.

As soon as Lin Xiao got out of the car, the villa's gate slowly swung open, revealing Chu Xiangxue's charming face. Perhaps because she was in the middle of exercising, her pretty face was flushed, making her look absolutely ravishing.

However, even more captivating than her face were her legs, clad in yoga pants. The tight fabric perfectly outlined their shape—long, slender, straight, and shapely. They were really sexy, almost as alluring as Su Qingning's.

"You got here so quickly!" Chu Xiangxue said with a smile.

"What exactly happened?"

"Don't even mention it. Some annoying guy found out I was in Jinling City and chased me all the way from Shengjing!" Chu Xiangxue said, vexed.

"A suitor?"

Chu Xiangxue pouted and nodded, looking slightly aggrieved.

"You don't like him?"

"If I liked him, I wouldn't have asked you to help, now would I!" she said with a charming pout.

Lin Xiao smiled. "Why don't you just refuse him directly?"

"I've refused him countless times, but it's no use!"

"Then just have a falling out with him!"

Chu Xiangxue sighed in frustration. "If only it were that simple. His family is considered a first-tier family in Shengjing. While they might not be our Chu Family's equal financially, they're stronger than us in other aspects."

"Which aspects?" Lin Xiao asked curiously.

The Chu Family was known for being politically connected merchants and, moreover, a member of the A9 Alliance. They were formidable in both finances and background. For Chu Xiangxue to make such a statement, the other family had to be truly impressive. Thus, Lin Xiao was curious in what way this family was stronger than the Chu Family.

"He's a Martial Artist, and a master on the Dragon Lord's List at that. Not only that, he's the most outstanding disciple of the Shura Hall's younger generation!"

As she spoke, fearing Lin Xiao wouldn't understand, she quickly explained, "Oh, you might not know what the Dragon Lord's List is. It's a list established by the current Dragon Lord, and everyone on it is one of the most outstanding cultivators of the younger generation. As for the Shura Hall, it's one of the four great sects of the Nine Provinces and is affiliated with the Martial Alliance. With these two statuses combined, he's considered quite a dazzling figure. Many young ladies from prominent families in Shengjing want to marry him.

"Also, don't ask me who the Dragon Lord is, because I don't know either. All I know is that he's the most powerful person in the world, with wealth that could rival nations and power that could shake the heavens!"

Lin Xiao smiled. "I see. So, with a background like that, you don't dare to be too blunt with him. Or more accurately, you don't want to have a complete fallout."

Chu Xiangxue looked at Lin Xiao, her eyes shimmering with admiration. Her previously frustrated mood brightened because of his understanding. She nodded and smiled. "You're really smart. I indeed don't want to have a complete fallout with him. After all, his family's strength is nothing to scoff at. Although our Chu Family wouldn't be afraid if things went south, it's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy, right?"

"Exactly. You're both top families, so you never know when your paths might cross again or when you might need their help. So, what do you need me to do?"

"Be my boyfriend!" Chu Xiangxue said with a smile.

"Huh?" Lin Xiao looked at her suspiciously.

Chu Xiangxue hurriedly explained, "Oh, just pretend, of course! I know you have Su Qingning in your heart. He just called, saying he'd be in Jinling City soon and asked for my address. I told him I have a boyfriend, thinking that would make him go back, but he didn't believe me! Not only that, but he insisted on seeing my boyfriend in person. I had no other choice, so I had to call you for help!"

As she finished, she looked at Lin Xiao with a pitiful expression, her eyes filled with pleading.

Lin Xiao smiled helplessly. "Alright. Since I'm already here, I'll play the part this once."

Chu Xiangxue's face lit up with a happy smile. "Lin Xiao, you're the best! Don't worry, as soon as he leaves, I'll be sure to thank you properly!"

"No need, it's a small favor."

Chu Xiangxue grew even more cheerful. "Well, you rest for a bit. I just finished yoga, so I'm going to go change!"

"Sure, go ahead."

Chu Xiangxue stuck out her tongue playfully and hurried upstairs.

With nothing else to do, Lin Xiao began looking around her villa. Though it wasn't large, it was decorated in a very warm and cozy way.

As he was looking around, the doorbell rang.

Lin Xiao knew their guest had arrived, so he got up to open the door. When the villa's main door opened, Lin Xiao saw a young man with a distinguished air standing at the doorstep. The moment he saw him, Lin Xiao recognized him.

Guo Dingtian.

The tenth-ranked expert on the Dragon Lord's List. Lin Xiao himself had personally decided that ranking. The certification for the Dragon Lord's List was also signed and issued by Lin Xiao, except it was signed with the title "Dragon Lord," not his real name.

In stark contrast to Lin Xiao's composure, Guo Dingtian was stunned the moment he saw him.

"Who are you? Why are you in Xiang Xue's villa?"

Lin Xiao smiled. "If I'm in Xiang Xue's villa, who do you think I am?"

"So, you're the boyfriend Xiang Xue mentioned?"

Lin Xiao shrugged. "Isn't it obvious?"

Guo Dingtian stared at Lin Xiao for a few moments before he suddenly burst out laughing, his laughter filled with arrogance and contempt.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Hmph. Kid, are you *really* Xiang Xue's boyfriend?"

"What, you don't believe me?"

Guo Dingtian scoffed, "Do you think I would? Xiang Xue is the young lady of Shengjing's number one family. Her standards haven't sunk so low as to settle for this!"

"What's that supposed to mean? You think she's not good enough for me?" Lin Xiao retorted.

Guo Dingtian snorted coldly. "Since you keep insisting you're Xiang Xue's boyfriend, then tell me, what qualifications do you have that would make her choose you?"

Lin Xiao thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm good in bed!"
