At the end of the ancient costume street, Lin Ke had already changed into ancient attire. Coupled with her exquisite makeup, she looked like a fairy, attracting many onlookers.
Lu Fan, Long Yi, and others also put on ancient costumes. Since they were in the ancient costume street, they naturally had to follow local customs. Wearing these ancient costumes indeed made them feel more spirited.
"Xiao Ke, you look so beautiful!" Jiang Meili exclaimed. "This ancient costume street is brightly lit and makes everyone feel so immersed. It's truly a wonderful place!"
"You look beautiful too!" Lin Ke replied with a smile. She then glanced at Lu Fan not far away and walked towards him. After putting on the ancient costume, her entire demeanor seemed more vibrant, and she naturally hoped Lu Fan would see her beautiful appearance.
"Miss, do you have companions?" Just then, a man in green approached. "I've been in the ancient costume street for a long time, how have I never seen you before?"
"This is my first time here!" Lin Ke said casually, not wanting to delay. Within the ancient costume street, many people were casting peculiar glances at her, but she was not interested in any of them, especially the young man before her. His eyes were practically gleaming, and she had no interest in such a frivolous person.
"Since it's your first time here, how about I guide you through the ancient costume street?" The young man stepped forward, attempting to take Lin Ke's hand. Lin Ke, dressed in ancient attire, looked like a fairy descended to earth, naturally captivating.
"What are you doing!" Lin Ke recoiled sharply, her expression shifting slightly.
"Why are you so nervous, Miss? I just want to accompany you for a stroll!" The young man revealed a wicked smile. "Besides, you're dressed so beautifully, you're quite a good match for me. Why be so concerned?"
"She already has a man!" Lu Fan walked over, taking Lin Ke's hand. "She doesn't need your company!"
Protected by Lu Fan, Lin Ke instantly felt warmth. She nestled into Lu Fan's embrace like a small bird, appearing quite affectionate.
The young man's brows furrowed, and many onlookers nearby watched the spectacle.
"Just a commoner, and you think you're worthy?" the young man said coldly. "I've taken a liking to this girl, so you better get lost!"
In an instant, the young man's aura surged. Although he was young, he was a disciple of an ancient sect. Not only in the ancient costume street, but even in other places, he could dominate an area. Dealing with a few people was nothing to him. Under normal circumstances, even the city lord wouldn't dare to intervene or report the matter, as the city lord knew that even if the headquarters found out, they wouldn't dare offend someone from an ancient sect.
Lu Fan's eyebrows twitched. "She already belongs to someone, and you want to snatch her? Or are all people from ancient sects so arrogant and unreasonable?"
"You actually have some insight to know I'm from an ancient sect!" The young man sneered. "Then you should know even better that I'm not someone to be trifled with. No one who I've set my sights on has ever been able to stop me!" Over the years, the young man had scouted many girls in the ancient costume street and taken them as his own, always succeeding.
"Disciples of ancient sects are not to easily step into the mortal world!" Lu Fan said coldly. "Not only do you break the rules, but you're also so boastful!"
"Truly courting death!" The young man said nothing more and directly lunged at Lu Fan. As a disciple of an ancient sect, his strength was extraordinary, and he viewed mortals as mere ants. Lu Fan's words had undoubtedly angered him.
Throughout the entire ancient costume street, everyone watched. Among them were many powerful individuals, all from ancient sects, who scoffed at Lu Fan. A mere mortal daring to oppose a disciple of an ancient sect was seeking death.
Rumble...
However, before anyone could react, the young man's body exploded outwards. He hadn't even gotten close to Lu Fan before an invisible force struck him, rendering him unable to retaliate.
Pfft...
The young man spat out a mouthful of blood, his disbelief evident. He was a dignified Grandmaster, already a top-tier expert in the mortal world, yet he never expected that Lu Fan's move would leave him with no chance to fight back.
"You're also from an ancient sect!" The young man's brows furrowed, a hint of wariness in his eyes. If Lu Fan were truly from an ancient sect, he wouldn't gain any advantage, as those from the same ancient sects were all extraordinary individuals.
"I am not from an ancient sect!" Lu Fan shrugged. "But on the land of Long Country, even people from ancient sects may not be able to cover the sky with one hand!"
"You will regret this!" The young man said coldly, then turned and left, filled with great anger. To be taught a lesson by Lu Fan as a disciple of an ancient sect, he would surely be ridiculed upon returning to his sect.
Lu Fan, however, was unconcerned. He paid no mind to such minor figures, let alone the experts within their sects, as Lu Fan was no longer the same as before.
"Xiao Fan, will there be any trouble?" Lin Ke asked.
"Naturally, there won't be any trouble!" Lu Fan said softly. "But you too, even the War Emperor would be terrified in front of you, yet you let an ordinary Grandmaster bully you!"
"I just didn't want to cause further complications!" Lin Ke said aggrievedly. "Besides, with you by my side, I don't need to act myself!"
Lu Fan felt a little helpless but didn't say much more.
"I advise you to leave the ancient costume street as soon as possible, or it will be troublesome later!" A man warned. "People from ancient sects always come in groups. That person has gone to call for reinforcements!"
"Thank you for the information!" Lu Fan cupped his fists. "We'll face the soldiers as they come and the water as it rises!"
Everyone was slightly surprised. Lu Fan's words were full of spirit, earning their admiration.
"Let's go see over there!" Jiang Meili suggested. "It looks like there are flower boats over there!"
"Yes, yes!" Lin Ke's smile appeared, looking utterly captivating. Lu Fan followed behind, feeling somewhat resigned.
At this moment, within the ancient costume street, many people were watching Lu Fan. Lu Fan, not being from an ancient sect, had struck someone from an ancient sect. This was inexplicable and a direct insult to the ancient sect.
Just as they arrived by the flower boats, a group of uninvited guests appeared in the ancient costume street. Leading them was the young man, with over a dozen figures beside him. "Senior brother, it's this kid!" The dozen figures looked at Lu Fan with considerable displeasure. "You've got some nerve, kid? Daring to lay hands on our junior brother! Are you tired of living?"
Lu Fan's brows furrowed. He didn't want trouble, but he wasn't afraid of it. These people were clearly here with ill intentions, and their aura was quite imposing.
"I advise you not to act rashly!" Long Yi said coldly. "You'll be the ones who suffer!"
"What a joke, we are all Grandmasters, are we afraid of a few of you?" the young man said coldly. "If I hadn't been careless just now, I wouldn't have fallen into his trap!"
"I gave you a chance to live just now, but you didn't cherish it!" Lu Fan shook his head. "Must you insist on seeking death?"
