"You must be dreaming if you think you can act within my Miaoyin Pavilion and expect me to escort you to the Tianxiang Sect. Do you truly believe I fear you?" Miaoyin's expression was cold, her hatred for Lu Fan burning. After all, in her eyes, Lu Fan's actions had thoroughly enraged her.
"Since Elder Miaoyin is unwilling, I'm afraid I'll have to resort to force!" Lu Fan shrugged. "They said I needed to make you like me for you to take me seriously. But I don't think it's necessary. After all, in the face of true strength, everything else is just talk!"
"You're right. If you have enough strength, you can do whatever you want!"
Miaoyin nodded. "But you might have forgotten one thing: I am no ordinary person. If you want to make a move on me, you'd better weigh whether you have the strength first!"
"If you thought I didn't have the strength, would I be standing here?"
Lu Fan burst into laughter, a wicked glint in his eyes. He understood that in the entire Heavenly Realm, strength was the ultimate authority. With sufficient power, no one could defy you, nor could anyone dictate your actions.
Lu Fan was acutely aware of this, which was why he was so direct.
At the same time, Lu Fan could clearly sense that some things were not as simple as they seemed. Miaoyin clearly held a significant prejudice against him, and if he wanted her to lead the way, he would likely have to conquer her first.
With this thought, Lu Fan's gaze instantly sharpened as he looked at Miaoyin. "I'll give you one more chance. I don't want to fight, but don't think I can't handle you!"
Inside the entire Miaoyin Pavilion, many people looked at Lu Fan, feeling a sense of innocence, even disbelief. For Lu Fan to say such things to a beautiful woman like Miaoyin caught everyone off guard.
Princess Bei Mei, standing nearby, was also somewhat moved. After all, under normal circumstances, things shouldn't be like this.
"Ahem... our esteemed sir is truly unique. I never expected him to utter such bold words within the Miaoyin Pavilion!"
With an awkward smile, Bu Qianfan spoke, finding the current scene somewhat helpless.
"Since the words have been spoken, there's no other way but to proceed!" Princess Bei Mei shrugged. "It's just that I wonder if there are any other experts within the Miaoyin Pavilion."
"I do not wish to fight you. Please leave the Miaoyin Pavilion immediately." Miaoyin looked at Lu Fan, her gaze carrying a chilling light. In her eyes, as a woman of purity, she could not wield swords and spears; this was not her preference.
Moreover, she knew very well that once Lu Fan left the Miaoyin Pavilion, experts would surely pursue him. To win her favor, she had never doubted this.
After all, many years ago, an Immortal Emperor had massacred numerous sects to win her favor. Many people still remembered this incident, and the events of that year were unforgettable.
At the same time, Lu Fan smiled slightly. "You want me to leave? That won't be so easy. If you don't take me to the Tianxiang Sect today, you might face unforeseen disaster!"
"You intend to make a move on me?"
Miaoyin narrowed her eyes. "Do you know this is the Miaoyin Pavilion? In this entire region, no one dares to speak like this. You are likely the first!"
"I certainly hope I am the first, not the last!" Lu Fan sneered. "If you can, you might as well try!"
Following these words, Miaoyin's face turned ashen. She had not expected Lu Fan to be so blunt, catching her completely off guard and leaving her in disbelief.
At the same time, Lu Fan could clearly sense that Miaoyin seemed quite displeased with the day's events, otherwise, she wouldn't be acting this way.
"Even if you are from the Heavenly Court Dynasty, you shouldn't be this arrogant!" Several elders spoke up. "Leave some room for future encounters. Moreover, Elder Miaoyin is so powerful; if she were to deal with you, she would not hold back!"
"So much nonsense. I just want her to lead the way, why are you old fossils getting involved?" Lu Fan glanced at them. "Are you two-timing with her? Otherwise, why would you speak on her behalf and offend the entire Heavenly Court Dynasty!"
"If you continue to spout nonsense, don't blame me for being impolite!" The elders said coldly. "We are all friends of Elder Miaoyin, not her paramours!"
"I didn't say paramours, but your involuntary admission makes things clear!"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly, his words showing no restraint, as if these people were beneath his notice.
"I do not wish to fight within the Miaoyin Pavilion, and you need not force me!"
Miaoyin looked at Lu Fan. "I know you are no ordinary person, but I do not wish to make things difficult for you. Leave the Miaoyin Pavilion now, and I will pretend nothing has happened!"
Seeing Miaoyin's pitiable appearance, the people present instantly felt a protective instinct, hating Lu Fan even more. After all, they were extremely displeased with a forceful person like Lu Fan.
"You're quite good at pretending!"
Lu Fan glanced at her, his eyes growing colder. Looking at Miaoyin, he felt a surge of killing intent. This was truly a supreme green tea, and Lu Fan could sense the overwhelming aura of deception that was difficult to bear.
"Everyone, you are all frequent visitors to the Miaoyin Pavilion. Now that the Miaoyin Pavilion has suffered such humiliation, I implore you all to deliver justice!"
Miaoyin looked at the crowd, her eyes filled with pity and no hint of reservation, her expression solemn, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.
Faced with these words, the people present could no longer tolerate it. Their gazes fixed on Lu Fan, filled with immense rage. In their eyes, Lu Fan's actions had thoroughly provoked them.
However, facing the many gazes, Lu Fan remained indifferent, as if none of it mattered to him.
At the same time, Lu Fan finally understood that some things could be done, and some things could not. Miaoyin herself did not act, but instead incited others to attack him, which was rather unethical.
"Commander, perhaps we should avoid the direct confrontation?"
Bu Qianfan spoke with a serious expression, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.
Faced with these words, Lu Fan shook his head. "Since we've come this far, how can we leave so easily? Besides, trying to leave now won't be so simple!"
Upon hearing this, Bu Qianfan's face instantly turned awkward. He had not expected Lu Fan to speak like this.
