"My father will never let me off easily. When I fought with Steward Wu last night, he must have used tracking powder."
Chu Ting said repeatedly, "We must leave quickly. The people from the Chu family might be nearby!"
Li Ziming also panicked slightly. He hadn't expected something like this. Although Chu Ting was only guessing, the guess was quite plausible.
"Where are you two preparing to go?"
At this moment, a cold voice rang out. The Chu family head looked at Chu Ting, his expression growing colder. "As a member of the Chu family, you wish to plunge the Chu family into dire straits. Is this your expectation?"
"I told you long ago that I would not marry that imbecile!" Chu Ting said directly. "You are the one being overbearing! I will never go back with you."
"Do you think you can still have your way now?"
The Chu family head's expression was cold. "If you don't go back, I will forcibly take you back. For the sake of the entire Chu family, you must marry into the Eight Prince's manor!"
The Chu family head's expression was cold. "No one can stop this. This is also your fate!"
"Patriarch Chu, she is your own daughter!" Li Ziming spoke out. "Do you really want to ruin her happiness? Forcing her to marry someone she dislikes."
"As a member of the Chu family, one should sacrifice for the Chu family."
The Chu family head said directly, "This matter is not for your Li family to interfere with. If the Li family dares to meddle again, it will be to stir up trouble."
"My Li family does not care about such things!"
Li Ziming sneered. "Even if I die today, I will never let you take Chu Ting away!"
"With you alone?"
The Chu family head smiled coldly, revealing a faint glint of coldness. "You are probably not qualified for that. Moreover, offending the Overlord's Manor, your Li family cannot afford to bear the consequences."
"Although my Li family does not have much power, we will never be lackeys."
Li Ziming said coldly, "So what if we become enemies with the Eight Prince's Manor?"
"You ignorant brat!"
The Chu family head's expression was cold. He suddenly struck out with a palm, carrying a powerful aura that was impossible to guard against.
Li Ziming's body retreated explosively, and blood instantly seeped from the corner of his mouth. He hadn't expected the Chu family head to be so fierce. In just one exchange, he found himself unable to cope.
"Are you alright?"
Chu Ting helped Li Ziming up, her face also turning grim. She hadn't expected her father to do such a thing. She remembered that when she was little, her father had doted on her very much. Now, he insisted on marrying her off to someone she disliked, and moreover, an imbecile.
"You should leave. This matter has nothing to do with you!"
Chu Ting said, "I can't escape this in the end!"
"No, I absolutely cannot let them take you away!"
Li Ziming stood up again, simultaneously blocking in front of Chu Ting, his expression serious.
"Ignorant fool!"
The Chu family head let out a cold laugh, with a faint glint of coldness. They didn't want to go too far, but Li Ziming's actions had completely enraged him.
With a wave of his hand, powerful spiritual energy surged towards Li Ziming, extremely sharp wherever it passed, leaving no room for reaction.
At that very moment, Li Ziming was sent flying again, blood filling his mouth, his face appearing even paler.
"Why are you so foolish? I've told you, this has nothing to do with you. Don't get involved!" Chu Ting said urgently.
"I said I wouldn't let him take you away!"
Li Ziming's expression was firm. "I don't want anyone to force you to do things you dislike."
Chu Ting stood by the side, a touch of emotion in her eyes, especially Li Ziming's words just now, which warmed her heart.
"Having your words is enough!"
Chu Ting gave a bitter smile and walked towards the Chu family head. "Father, since you want to take me, I will go back with you. However, I have already resolved to die. If you want me to marry someone from the Eight Prince's Manor, I will never agree."
"This is not up to you!" Su Dan Novel Network
The Chu family head's expression was indifferent, carrying supreme might, completely disregarding Chu Ting's words.
Chu Ting said no more and walked towards the Chu family head. She knew that no matter what, she couldn't escape, and perhaps only by sacrificing her life could she avoid disaster.
"Why are you two here?"
Just then, Lu Fan's voice rang out, and he looked at Li Ziming. "Why is there blood on your mouth? Did you get into a fight with someone?"
"Sect Master!"
Li Ziming was overjoyed. "Quick, save Chu Ting! She can't be taken away. If she's taken away, she'll have to marry an imbecile!"
Lu Fan was slightly stunned and looked at Chu Ting. "What's going on?"
"This young brother must also be from Beihai Academy!"
The Chu family head said with a light laugh. "This is a private matter of my Chu family. Young brother need not know."
"You are the head of the Chu family?" Lu Fan glanced at him. "But what you say doesn't count. I want him to tell me himself what's going on."
The Chu family head's expression instantly turned cold. He hadn't expected Lu Fan, at such a young age, to be so arrogant, completely disregarding him.
"Sect Master, this matter has nothing to do with you. I don't want to implicate you." Chu Ting said directly. "Take them back to Beihai Academy, and I won't go back."
"You are a person of my Qingyun Sect, how can you not go back!"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent. He grabbed Chu Ting and retreated towards the rear. However, at this moment, the Chu family head suddenly stepped forward and looked at Lu Fan. "I've told you, this is not something you can interfere with. You, boy, don't meddle here!"
"If I don't get to the bottom of it, wouldn't my position as Sect Master be in vain!" Lu Fan said coldly. "However, I am very curious, how can a father harm his own daughter?"
Helplessly, Chu Ting told Lu Fan the entire story. After Lu Fan learned of it, he became even more furious and glared at the Chu family head. "As the head of a family, you can't even protect your own daughter, yet you dream of strengthening the family."
"Your mouth is quite sharp, boy. This is not a place for you to meddle!" The Chu family head said coldly. "I'll warn you one more time, don't meddle."
"I am going to meddle in this matter today!"
Lu Fan said coldly. "I'd like to see what capabilities your Chu family has."
"This brat is truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Steward Wu spoke out. "Patriarch, should we deal with him!"
The Chu family head nodded slightly, his expression growing even colder. Lu Fan was so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth; he didn't mind making Lu Fan suffer a bit.
Upon receiving the signal, Steward Wu instantly stepped forward, intending to give Lu Fan a show of force, but was violently repelled by Lu Fan's single foot. Even his arm began to go numb.
"Spirit King expert!"
Steward Wu was greatly startled and couldn't believe it. He never imagined that Lu Fan, at such a young age, would become a Spirit King.
