"With only a few guards, you dare to act so arrogantly here? It seems the Baili family of Juling Kingdom is nothing special!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, his expression becoming even more indifferent. The noodle shop owner, however, was greatly startled. In the entire Juling City, no one dared to offend the Baili family. It wasn't for any other reason than that the Baili family was one of the three major families of Juling Kingdom.
"What an audacious kid!"
The leading man's expression turned cold. "Take him down for me! Drag him back to the Baili mansion. Anyone who dares to slander the Baili family will surely wish they were dead!"
The guards did not hesitate and moved to attack Lu Fan. Gu Wen immediately stepped forward, blocking Lu Fan. In that instant, the guards fell to the ground, no match for Gu Wen.
The leading man frowned. "You have great nerve, daring to attack the Baili family within Juling City!"
"You are merely guards, do you truly consider yourselves the Baili family?" Han Qiushui glanced at them. "Even if the Baili family head were here, my master would not be intimidated!"
"You are simply audacious and 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 they were to continue their misbehavior, Gu Wen would not let them off easily.
"You just wait! I will make you pay!"
The leading man hurriedly retreated. They were peak martial arts experts, and although they had not reached the Grandmaster realm, they were still considered first-class fighters. They had never expected to be taught such a lesson in Juling City. Su Dan Novel Network
After the men left, Lu Fan and the others paid them no mind, continuing to savor the noodles from the shop.
"I say, distinguished guests, you've caused a great 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 and avoid lingering here, or you will be in serious trouble!"
"Don't worry, boss!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "Help me serve another bowl of noodles. Your noodles are indeed extraordinary. No wonder there are so many customers!"
The noodle shop owner looked stunned. He had wanted Lu Fan to flee quickly, but Lu Fan's words left him quite helpless.
Lu Fan might not know the gravity of the situation, but the owner was acutely aware. If the Baili family sent experts, Lu Fan and his companions would all be in danger.
"I say, boss, my master wants a bowl of noodles, why are you still standing there in a daze?" Han Qiushui gave him a sidelong glance. "Do you think we won't pay?"
"That's not it, that's not it!"
The noodle shop owner quickly clasped his fists. Lu Fan and the others clearly had some background, and he dared not offend them easily. He could only follow Lu Fan's request and serve another bowl of clear broth noodles.
Meanwhile, on the streets of Juling City, the leading man was cursing and felt extremely displeased. In the entire Juling City, and even the entire Juling Kingdom, he had never suffered such humiliation.
As a guard of the Baili family, his status was so noble. Now that he had been beaten, wouldn't he be laughed at if word got out? If he couldn't regain this dignity, he would not be able to establish himself in the future.
"Why are you all here?"
Just then, a middle-aged man approached, accompanied by several guards. Their auras were also quite formidable.
"Commander, you must uphold justice for us!" the leading man said coldly. "We intended to book the noodle shop to treat our brothers to a good meal, but unexpectedly, we were beaten!"
"As guards of the Baili family, who else would dare to attack you within Juling City?" the commander asked curiously. "Could it be that you caused trouble first!"
"Commander, please investigate!" the leading man quickly clasped his fists.
The middle-aged commander also frowned. As the commander of the Baili family's guard force, he oversaw the entire guard team, and he was also a Grandmaster expert. Now that his subordinates had been bullied, how could he, their commander, let it go?
"Take me there! I'd like to see who they are!"
The middle-aged commander frowned. "This is Juling City, after all. Those who dare to lay hands on the Baili family's servants are likely not simple!"
The leading man's face lit up with joy, and he led the way.
Before long, they arrived at the noodle shop. Lu Fan and the others were still eating their noodles, chatting and laughing.
"Commander, it's them!" the leading man said smugly. "We cannot let these people off easily today. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't be in such a sorry state!"
The commander's brows furrowed. Even from outside the door, Lu Fan and his group did not even look at them, suggesting they had some background.
"My esteemed guests, may I know who you are?"
The commander spoke, "Why did you injure people from 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 will not make enemies!"
"So you are not from Juling Kingdom!" the leading man sneered. "You truly have considerable audacity, daring to cause trouble in Juling Kingdom. If you all kneel and beg for mercy today, perhaps we can spare your lives. Otherwise, you will die without a burial place!"
The commander stood by the side, his expression turning cold. He had come here for a reason and would not back down. As a commander of the Baili family, he had his principles.
"Truly laughable!"
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 yield, which would prevent him from properly dealing with Lu Fan. Now, Lu Fan's words were full of dominance, and they would not let this opportunity pass.
"Such a big talk!"
The middle-aged commander smiled. "But I wonder about your actual strength!"
"Too much nonsense!"
Han Qiushui's expression was cold. He stepped directly towards the middle-aged commander. He had already broken through to the Battle Spirit realm and was a true expert compared to a Grandmaster. He did not take the commander before him seriously.
At this moment, many martial artists on the street were watching with great curiosity, wondering what had happened.
However, they knew that these were Baili family guards, and someone had likely offended them, leading to this large-scale confrontation.
"Qiushui, be cautious in your actions, and do not cause any deaths!"
Lu Fan said, "We cannot cause too much trouble this time when we are in Juling Kingdom!"
"Master, rest assured, I know what I'm doing," Han Qiushui stated directly, stepping towards the commander.
The commander's expression changed. Lu Fan's 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 fierce aura. Wherever he passed, his internal energy surged like a vast ocean, appearing terrifying.
Boom...
A loud sound echoed all around, and everyone watched, 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 simultaneously looked at Han Qiushui. "You are unbelievably audacious, daring to 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 so highly of yourself!"
