Yes, Lin Xiao was on his way to kill someone: Chu Liangcai.

As he sped toward Violet Villa, Lin Xiao seemed rather indifferent. After all, his target was a mere Martial Master Level artist. Killing him would be easier than crushing an ant.

Soon, the car pulled up to the entrance of Violet Villa. Lin Xiao got out and pressed the doorbell without hesitation. The sound of footsteps quickly reached his ears.

However, the one who opened the door was not Chu Liangcai, but a handsome young man. When the man saw Lin Xiao, a mocking glint flashed in his eyes.

"Where did this stinking beggar crawl out from? Get lost!"

Lin Xiao smiled and asked, "Where is Chu Liangcai?"

The man grew even more impatient. "Shut up! Is our Hall Master's name something a stinking beggar like you can utter? State your business or get lost!"

Lin Xiao shrugged. "Fine, I'll be direct. Tell him to come out and face his death."

PFFT!

The distinguished-looking young man burst out laughing as if he had just heard the world's greatest joke. He laughed so hard he was doubled over.

Lin Xiao smiled as well. "It seems you find what I said amusing."

The young man guffawed. "No, no, no. I don't think what you said is a joke. I think *you* are a joke!"

"Oh, is that so? Then go on and laugh. It'll be the last time you ever do."

At these words, the young man's laughter grew even wilder. But in the middle of a laugh, his expression suddenly froze. The next second, a shocking spray of blood erupted from between his brows. He then fell backward, landing stiffly inside the villa.

Yes, Lin Xiao had made his move. The Xuantian Needle had pierced the man between the eyes.

Lin Xiao stepped over the body, entered the villa, and shut the heavy door behind him. The vast villa was brightly lit and magnificent, yet a sinister aura permeated every corner.

Chu Liangcai was not in the villa; he presumably hadn't returned yet. Lin Xiao was in no hurry. He found a chair and retrieved an expensive bottle of wine from the liquor cabinet. He then sat down quietly in the villa's courtyard and began to drink by himself.

After he had finished half the bottle, the sound of a car braking was heard at the entrance. Lin Xiao seemed to ignore it, continuing to drink. Soon, the doorbell rang. Lin Xiao paid it no mind. A moment later, a dark figure vaulted over the courtyard wall.

It was Chu Liangcai.

After landing, Chu Liangcai paused for a second, clearly surprised to see Lin Xiao. But his surprise quickly faded, replaced by a genteel smile. He smiled and walked toward Lin Xiao but didn't stop, instead heading into the villa. A short while later, Chu Liangcai emerged with his own chair and another bottle of wine. He placed his chair next to Lin Xiao's and began to drink.

After downing half the bottle, Chu Liangcai suddenly asked, "Did you kill Afu?"

"Who's Afu?" Lin Xiao asked in return.

"Oh, just my son."

"Really? He looked far more handsome."

Chu Liangcai burst into hearty laughter. "Afu was indeed more handsome than me. He inherited his mother's good genes."

"So, his mother is very beautiful?"

Chu Liangcai nodded. "Of course. The most beautiful woman for fifty miles in any direction. Though, naturally, she couldn't compare to Su Qingning."

Lin Xiao smiled. "My wife is indeed beautiful."

At this, Chu Liangcai suddenly sighed.

"Why the sigh?" Lin Xiao asked.

Chu Liangcai shook his head. "Nothing. I just feel that you're quite pitiful."

"Oh? Is that so? What do you mean by that?"

Chu Liangcai glanced at Lin Xiao. "Do you know what happens when a man with no ability marries a peerless beauty?"

"What happens?" Lin Xiao asked.

"He gets cuckolded, or even winds up dead."

"Cuckolded? What, you have experience in that department?" Lin Xiao asked with a laugh.

It was meant as a taunt, but Chu Liangcai nodded with utmost seriousness. He took a large swig of wine.

"Indeed, I do. My wife—Afu's mother—once placed a massive green hat on my head. Do you know who the other man was?"

"Who?"

"The Sect Leader of our Ghost Medicine Sect."

"That's quite the bombshell."

Chu Liangcai smiled faintly. "It certainly was."

"What does that have to do with me being pitiful?"

"Because you're about to be cuckolded, too."

Lin Xiao laughed. "By who? You?"

Chu Liangcai nodded. "Since we've reached this point, I might as well be frank with you. Yes, I'm after your wife. However, it's not her beauty I'm after. While she is indeed a peerless beauty, I'm more interested in something else she possesses."

"I see. You mean the astounding level of cultivation within my wife's Dantian."

Chu Liangcai was taken aback. He stared at Lin Xiao with suspicion. "You know about the astounding cultivation in your wife's Dantian?"

"Have you ever considered the possibility that the cultivation was originally mine?"

PFFT.

A mouthful of wine sprayed from Chu Liangcai's mouth. He started to laugh, a chilling sound that curdled the air.

"Lin Xiao, that joke isn't funny in the slightest. I know all about your marriage to Su Qingning. I understand you're about to be cuckolded, so you're feeling panicked and uneasy and trying to find some excuse to make yourself feel better. But some things are just fate. For a bottom-feeder like you—no, for a piece of social trash like you—it's a miracle you've managed to survive this long. So, stop dreaming about things you shouldn't."

Lin Xiao smiled. "You don't seem to believe me, but that's fine. I'll prove it to you soon enough."

Chu Liangcai asked with a smirk, "Prove it? How are you going to do that?"

"For example, by sending you to meet your son?"

Chu Liangcai said nothing. He started to drink again. He tilted his head back and poured the rest of the liquor straight down his throat. The bottle was empty in moments. Chu Liangcai tossed it aside.

His gaze slowly shifted back to Lin Xiao. His eyes turned vicious, like those of a venomous snake, as he stared fixedly at his guest.

"You shouldn't have killed Afu. He was the person my wife loved most in this world. You killed him, so my wife will be heartbroken. And when my wife is heartbroken, I will kill the person who caused her pain."

"Then why haven't you killed the Sect Leader of your Ghost Medicine Sect?"

"He makes my wife happy. Why would I kill him?"

What a bombshell of a reply. Lin Xiao gave a thumbs up and asked with a grin, "So, are you ready to die?"

Chu Liangcai shook his head. "That's the question I should be asking you, kid. Are you ready to die?"

Lin Xiao drained the last of his wine, then made an inviting gesture toward Chu Liangcai.

"Please, begin your performance!"
