Chapter 376 - 131: Visiting Xin Lei’s Residence
Lu Hong agreed to attend the Sin Lei family’s banquet, and the news was conveyed to the other party by Nuoshan the next morning.
The Duke of Sin Lei was overjoyed and immediately sent out a formal invitation. At dusk, Lu Hong sat in the carriage of the Sin Lei family and arrived in front of a luxurious mansion.
"Lord Champion Marquis, we have arrived," a servant lifted the carriage curtain and invited Lu Hong to disembark.
At that moment, Earl Xina had already been waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing Lu Hong get off, he walked up with a smile and said, "You really are pampered, it took several invitations before you finally came."
Originally, on the carriage ride over, Lu Hong had decided that once he disembarked, he would keep a stern face and not give any member of the Sin Lei family a good expression to see.
But upon seeing Xina’s sincere smile, Lu Hong simply couldn’t maintain a stern look and politely replied, "Bai Ling’s day of escape is drawing ever closer, so naturally, more time must be spent thinking of a solution."
"En!" Xina nodded. No one was more aware of Bai Ling’s terror than he was; a raven had been knocked down with just one glance, and in reality, only Xina himself could exchange a few moves with Bai Ling. Lu Hong had a valid excuse, and Xina fully accepted it: "You have taken great pains. If there is anything you need me to do, just send someone to tell me."
"Many thanks, Lord Earl," Lu Hong said, giving a fist and palm salute.
Xina helped Lu Hong up with a smile and said, "What are you being polite for? If anyone should be thanking, it is I who should thank you. Had it not been for your rescue that day, I reckon I’d nearly be buried by now."
"Come, let’s not stand at the entrance, let’s go inside and talk," Xina said as he led Lu Hong through the grand doors of the mansion.
