"With just you guards, you dare to be so arrogant here. It seems the Baili family of Juling Kingdom is nothing more than this!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, his expression even more indifferent. The noodle shop owner was quite startled. In the entire Juling City, no one dared to offend the Baili family. It wasn't for any other reason than the Baili family being one of the three major families of Juling Kingdom.
"What an arrogant brat!"
The leading man's expression turned cold. "Take him down for me! Drag him back to the Baili mansion. Dare to slander the Baili family, and I'll make sure he wishes he were dead!"
The guards did not hesitate and moved to attack Lu Fan. Gu Wen immediately stepped forward, blocking in front of Lu Fan. In that instant, the guards fell to the ground, proving no match for Gu Wen.
The leading man frowned. "You are too audacious. You dare to attack the Baili family within Juling City!"
"You are merely guards, do you really think you are the Baili family?" Han Qiushui glanced at them. "Even if the Baili family head were here, my master would not show him any fear!"
"You are simply reckless!"
The leading man's face turned ashen, but he did not dare to act rashly. He had witnessed Gu Wen's methods just now. If he were to act recklessly again, Gu Wen would not let him off easily.
"You just wait! I'll make you pay!"
The leading man quickly left. They were peak martial artists. Although they had not reached the Grandmaster realm, they were considered first-rate experts. They never expected to be taught such a lesson in Juling City. Su Dan Novel Network
After the man left, Lu Fan and the others paid no mind and continued to slowly savor the noodles.
"You patrons, you've caused a huge disaster!" the noodle shop owner said repeatedly. "The Baili family cannot be offended. Now that things have come to this, you should leave as soon as possible. Do not linger here, or you will be in great trouble!"
"Don't worry, boss!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "Help me get another bowl of noodles. Your noodles really are exceptional, no wonder there are so many customers!"
The noodle shop owner looked astonished. He had wanted Lu Fan to flee quickly, but Lu Fan's words left him quite helpless.
Lu Fan might not understand the gravity of the situation, but he, the owner, was very clear. If the Baili family sent experts, Lu Fan and the others would all be in danger.
"Boss, my master wants another bowl of noodles. Why are you still standing there?" Han Qiushui glared. "Do you think we won't pay!"
"That's not it, that's not it!"
The noodle shop owner quickly clasped his hands. Lu Fan and the others clearly had some background, and he dared not offend them easily. He could only comply with Lu Fan's request and bring another bowl of clear broth noodles.
Meanwhile, on the streets of Juling City, the leading man was grumbling, feeling extremely displeased. In the entire Juling City, and even in the entire Juling Kingdom, he had never suffered such humiliation.
As a guard of the Baili family, his status was incredibly noble. Now that he had been beaten, wouldn't he be laughed at if this got out? If he couldn't get this revenge, he wouldn't be able to hold his head up in the future.
"Why are you all here?"
Just then, a middle-aged man approached, accompanied by several guards. Their auras were also quite strong.
"Commander, you must uphold justice for us!" the leading man said coldly. "We intended to book out this noodle shop and prepare to treat our brothers to a good meal, but unexpectedly, we were beaten!"
"As guards of the Baili family, who dares to lay hands on you in Juling City?" the commander asked curiously. "Could it be that you started the trouble first!"
"Commander, please investigate!" the leading man quickly clasped his hands.
The middle-aged commander also frowned. As the commander of the Baili family's guard force, he was in charge of the entire guard team and was also a Grandmaster expert. Now that his subordinates had been bullied, how could he, as their commander, let it slide?
"Take me there! I'd like to see who exactly they are!"
The middle-aged commander frowned. "This is Juling City. Those who dare to lay hands on the Baili family's servants are probably not simple!"
The leading man's face lit up with joy, and he led the way.
Not long after, they arrived at the noodle shop. Lu Fan and the others were still eating noodles, appearing to be chatting and laughing.
"Commander, it's them!" the leading man said arrogantly. "We can't let these few off easily today. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't be in such a sorry state!"
The commander's brow furrowed. Even from outside the door, Lu Fan and the others did not look at them directly, suggesting they might have some backing.
"Gentlemen, may I ask who you are?"
The commander spoke. "Why did you injure members of the Baili family!"
Lu Fan glanced at him. "If others do not offend me, I will not offend them. We have come to Juling Kingdom this time, and we do not intend to make enemies!"
"So you are not from Juling Kingdom!" the leading man sneered. "You truly have quite the nerve to run wild in Juling Kingdom. If you all kneel and beg for mercy today, perhaps we can spare your lives. Otherwise, we will leave you with no place to die!"
The commander stood by the side, his expression turning cold. He had come here this time and would not back down. As the commander of the Baili family, he also had considerable principles.
"What a joke!"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent. "If you are not convinced, feel free to make a move!"
The leading man was overjoyed. He had been afraid Lu Fan would back down, which would prevent him from properly dealing with Lu Fan. Now, Lu Fan's words were full of dominance, and how could they let this opportunity pass?
"Such big talk!"
The middle-aged commander smiled. "I just don't know about your strength!"
"Too much nonsense!"
Han Qiushui's expression was cold, and he stepped directly towards the middle-aged commander. He had long since broken through to the Battle Spirit realm, and in front of a Grandmaster, he was a true expert. How could he take the commander before him seriously?
At this moment, many martial artists on the street were watching, quite curious as to what had happened.
However, they knew that these were guards of the Baili family, and it was likely that someone had offended them, hence the commotion.
"Qiushui, be cautious with your actions. Do not cause any deaths!"
Lu Fan said, "We cannot cause too much trouble this time in Juling Kingdom!"
"Master, rest assured, I have my own judgment in these matters!"
Han Qiushui stated directly and stepped towards the commander.
The commander's expression changed. Lu Fan's previous words had displeased him. As a Grandmaster expert, why should he be shown deference by others?
Just as he was about to make a move, he felt Han Qiushui's sharp aura. Where he passed, his internal energy surged like a vast ocean, appearing terrifying.
Boom...
A loud noise echoed all around, and everyone looked on, their hearts filled with shock. It was not Han Qiushui who fell, but the Baili family commander.
"Commander!" the leading man's face turned ashen, and he looked at Han Qiushui. "You are simply too audacious to dare attack the commander!"
"You've said that more than once!" Han Qiushui said coldly. "Get lost quickly, or I'll beat you too! Do you really think you're someone important!"
