The commander was rendered speechless and dared not say more. The day's events were indeed his doing; had it not been for him, Baili Qianshan would not have had his bones broken.
"Say no more, go fetch my father," Baili Qianshan said coldly.
"Young master, this matter is of great importance, there is no need to alarm the family head!" the white-haired elder interjected.
He knew very well that the Baili family head had a son in his later years and doted on Baili Qianshan, unable to bear seeing her suffer any grievance. Moreover, he was extremely protective. If he learned that Baili Qianshan had been beaten and had her bones broken, he would likely seek revenge.
"Precisely because it is of great importance, I must report it to father!"
Baili Qianshan stated directly, "That brat insulted me in public, how can I let this go!"
"The Guardian God of the Dragon Kingdom is not someone the Baili family can provoke!"
The white-haired elder said solemnly, "If the family head learns of this, he will surely stand up for you!"
"He is in Juling Kingdom now, why would the Baili family fear him!"
Baili Qianshan's expression was icy. He had never been treated this way before, and being so disregarded, how could he not seek retribution.
"Lord Lu's visit to Juling Kingdom this time is for the matter of the alliance between the two countries!"
The white-haired elder said solemnly, "I have already sent someone to inquire. The two great nations have formally allied. If the Baili family truly clashes with Lord Lu, the Juling headquarters may not stand with us!"
"I can't manage that much!"
Baili Qianshan said coldly. Having been pampered since childhood, he naturally could not tolerate being bullied.
"What happened? Why are you shouting over there!"
The Baili family head arrived, with a hint of confusion, "You haven't caused trouble again, have you!"
"Father, I didn't cause trouble, I was just beaten!" Baili Qianshan pointed to his arm.
"What is going on!" The Baili family head frowned. "This injury is not minor. Who is responsible!"
"Lord Lu of the Dragon Kingdom!"
Baili Qianshan said repeatedly, "Father, you must uphold justice for me and absolutely not let him off easily, otherwise, what face will the Baili family have!"
"Lord Lu of the Dragon Kingdom?"
The Baili family head frowned. "I have heard of this person. How did you come to interact with him!"
At this point, the Baili family head clearly paused. He had heard of Lu Fan's achievements.
"No matter the reason, he broke my bones!"
Baili Qianshan said seriously, "If father does not act, the Baili family will not be able to hold their heads high in the future!"
"This..."
The Baili family head frowned. He understood very well why Lu Fan had come to Juling Kingdom. If the two countries were allied, he would not have come to demand an explanation.
"Father, is my injury fake!"
Baili Qianshan said solemnly, "If he is not made to give an explanation, I will never agree!" Su Dan Novel Network
"Go and find out where Lord Lu is. I will personally go and seek justice!"
The Baili family head said coldly, "After all, he is the young master of the Baili family. How can he tolerate such humiliation."
"No need to inquire, he is at the Juling City Lord's Mansion!"
The white-haired elder spoke, "Tonight, the Grand Elder of Juling is hosting Lord Lu. I just received the news!"
"Hosting?"
The Baili family head frowned. Things were indeed as he had thought. Lu Fan had already discussed an alliance with Juling Kingdom.
"Father, aren't you afraid?"
Baili Qianshan said again, "The Baili family is a great power, and even the elders of Juling Kingdom give you some respect. Who is he to dare run wild in Juling Kingdom!"
"That's well said. The Baili family is one of the three giants of Juling Kingdom. How can we fall behind!" The Baili family head nodded.
With these words, Baili Qianshan was quite satisfied. This way, his trip to the City Lord's Mansion would surely make Lu Fan pay a price.
Meanwhile, in the City Lord's Mansion, the Juling City Lord had prepared a grand banquet. Upon seeing Lu Fan arrive, he hurried to greet him.
"Lord Lu!"
The Juling City Lord clasped his fists. "If there is any inadequate hospitality, please forgive me!"
"No need to be so polite with me!" Lu Fan smiled.
"Lu family member, you've finally arrived!"
The Grand Elder of Juling stepped forward. "Tonight, we must not go home until we're drunk."
"Then I can only accompany you to the death!" Lu Fan said with a wry smile.
When the banquet began, everyone sat at the table. The dishes were abundant and looked quite lavish.
However, at this moment, outside the City Lord's Mansion, a group of uninvited guests arrived. Leading them was the Baili family head, accompanied by many guards, who surrounded the City Lord's Mansion tightly.
"Brother Baili, what brings you here?"
The Juling City Lord was surprised and looked at the many Baili family guards. "What happened? Why such a grand display?"
"You should ask Lord Lu!"
The Baili family head smiled. "He attacked the young master of the Baili family on the street and broke his arm. Isn't this trampling on my Baili family!"
"This..."
The Juling City Lord's expression changed slightly. This was not something he could manage.
Several elders of Juling Kingdom were surprised and looked at Lu Fan. "Lord Lu, is this true?"
"The young master of the Baili family was looking for trouble and was taught a lesson, which is only natural!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "Otherwise, how can he become accomplished in the future!"
"If anyone is to teach him a lesson, it should be me, not an outsider!"
The Baili family head said coldly, "Shouldn't Lord Lu give an explanation!"
"Brother Baili, there are some things you may not know!"
Bai Huaxue spoke, "The young master of the Baili family knelt down to Lord Lu and insulted him, which is why Lord Lu took action to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, why would this happen!"
The Baili family head frowned and looked at Baili Qianshan. "What exactly happened."
"Father, you must believe me, I am the victim!"
Baili Qianshan said seriously, "After all, I have a broken bone. Regardless of whether this matter is right or wrong, an explanation must be given!"
The Baili family head frowned, but he could not say much at this moment.
"Brother Baili, this matter is easy to resolve!"
The Grand Elder of Juling smiled. "If you want to avenge your son, then strike directly. If you can defeat Lord Lu, you will have regained face. If you are not his match, you will only bring shame upon yourself!"
"Am I afraid of him!"
The Baili family head's expression was indifferent, with a hint of confidence.
Lu Fan stood frozen, feeling a little troubled. He knew very well that his purpose in coming to Juling Kingdom was for an alliance, not a fight.
"I have long heard that there is a Lord Lu in the Dragon Kingdom whose strength is extraordinary. Today, I would like to witness it!"
With a cold gaze, the Baili family head said coldly.
"Lord Lu, you won't refuse, will you?" the Grand Elder smiled.
"Can I refuse?"
Lu Fan gave a helpless wry smile. He knew very well that in this situation, he was being forced into it. Even if he didn't want to fight, he probably wouldn't have a choice.
"Father, please teach him a good lesson for me!" Baili Qianshan reminded him.
"Don't worry, son. I'll break his arm the same way he broke yours!"
The Baili family head said directly, appearing quite confident, as he was a peak Battle King expert.
"Family head, be careful. This person is not weak!" the white-haired elder reminded him.
