Returning to the hotel, Lin Ke bandaged Elder Xia's wound, her face filled with guilt. "If it weren't for me, Patriarch Han wouldn't have suffered such a severe injury!"
"Miss Lin need not blame herself; it was my duty," Patriarch Han said earnestly. "It's a pity my strength was insufficient to protect Miss Lin!"
"It's alright, he will definitely come for Xiao Fan!" Lin Ke smiled. "When he does, Xiao Fan will come to save us!"
"That's true!" Patriarch Han nodded, looking at Lin Aotian. "It's all thanks to Boss Lin; otherwise, it would have been troublesome!"
"It was a measure of last resort; I wouldn't have agreed so readily otherwise," Lin Aotian said awkwardly.
Meanwhile, in the Xia family's living room, after Young Master Xia explained the situation, Patriarch Xia's face turned ashen. "Are you crazy? She's already married, and you still want to marry her? I absolutely forbid this matter."
"Dad, I'm sincere!" Young Master Xia said with a serious expression. "If you don't agree, don't let me go to the company anymore. I don't want to stay in the company either; I just want to be alone!"
"Are you threatening me?" Patriarch Xia said coldly. "As the General Manager of Shengshi Group, the future successor of the Xia family, what can't you have? Why would you go after a married woman!"
"I just like her!" Young Master Xia stated directly. "If you don't agree, you can handle this matter as you see fit!"
"You are my only son; do you want me dead!" Patriarch Xia said helplessly.
"I am serious!"
After Young Master Xia finished speaking, he turned and left. To ensure this matter was handled properly, he had put in a lot of effort and had already sent people to Chuzhou. As soon as Lin Ke divorced, he could marry her.
Thinking of this, Young Master Xia felt quite pleased. Perhaps, in his eyes, Lin Ke was very important.
A few days later, at the Tian Sha outpost in the Outer Territories battlefield, Lu Fan was refining pills. The strength of many experts in the outpost had greatly increased, thanks in no small part to Lu Fan.
However, Lu Fan paid no mind to these matters. With such vast resources, it was not difficult to improve his strength, especially in this outer territory outpost.
After finishing the pill refining, Lu Fan came to the courtyard of the Tian Sha outpost. Han Yunhai also walked over at this time. "My lord, something has happened!"
"What happened?" Lu Fan asked with a slight curiosity. "Could it be that the experts from the Sea Country have come again?"
"It's not the experts from the Sea Country!"
Han Yunhai shook his head. "Miss Lin is in trouble."
"What's going on!" Lu Fan's expression changed drastically. While he wouldn't pay much attention to other matters, he would never be careless about Lin Ke's affairs.
"Miss Lin went to Longdu to seek business opportunities and was taken a liking to by Young Master Xia of the Longdu Xia family. He wants to make Miss Lin his own," Han Yunhai said solemnly. "He even wants my lord to go to Longdu to divorce her!"
"The Xia family of Longdu?"
Lu Fan's expression immediately turned cold. He never imagined that there were such audacious people in Longdu who dared to have such thoughts about Lin Ke.
"According to the information, the Xia family of Longdu holds great status throughout the country," Han Yunhai said seriously. "It seems they also have many martial arts experts, and even the Lord of Longdu City has a close relationship with the Xia family!"
"Good, very good!" Lu Fan was furious. "Is Xiao Ke alright?"
"She was almost in trouble. Fortunately, Patriarch Han intervened in time," Han Yunhai said seriously. "However, according to the news, Patriarch Han was also seriously injured and is now trapped in a hotel in Longdu!"
"Assemble the disciples of the Qingyun Sect and surround Longdu!"
Lu Fan's anger surged. "No matter how powerful the Xia family is, I will make them pay!"
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Han Yunhai quickly clasped his fists and issued the notification. In that instant, countless experts from both the Tian Sha and Xing Chen outposts rushed towards Longdu City in the Dragon Country like a tide, carrying immense power.
Lu Fan, Han Yunhai, and others also disappeared from the Outer Territories battlefield and set foot into the Dragon Country. If anything were to happen to Lin Ke, Lu Fan would likely make the entire Longdu pay. This was the world of the strong.
At that moment, numerous figures moved through the Outer Territories battlefield, surging towards the Dragon Country, baffling many high-ranking officials in the Dragon Country as to what had happened.
At the Dragon Country Headquarters, several elders also frowned upon receiving the news.
"What is going on? The numerous experts of the Qingyun Sect returning to the Dragon Country, could they have ulterior motives!" Elder Eight stated directly. "If that is the case, we cannot stand idly by!"
"This is absolutely impossible. Although Lu Fan acts tough, he is reasonable and justified. He would never act recklessly," Elder Nine said. "I have already sent people to investigate, and we will know the news soon!"
"I agree!" Elder Six nodded. "The Qingyun Sect fought bravely in the Outer Territories battlefield, capturing two outposts and inflicting heavy losses on the Sea Country, greatly benefiting the Dragon Country. How could they do anything to harm the Dragon Country!"
"But regardless, so many experts flooding into Longdu is not a good thing," Elder Seven frowned. "If it is not stopped, and something happens, it may not be possible to intervene in time."
"But if we intervene now, wouldn't that be a clear declaration of hostility!" Elder Five frowned. "The situation in the Dragon Country is tense; we cannot make more enemies, especially the Qingyun Sect, such a powerful force." Su Dan Novel Network
"I believe this child will not disappoint me," Elder Four said solemnly. "We will wait and see here; do not obstruct them lightly!"
The elders looked at each other and said no more. Elder Four was their backbone, and since Elder Four had spoken, they naturally had no reason to say more.
However, this phenomenon was extremely strange, leaving everyone perplexed.
Not long after, Long Aotian arrived at the Dragon Country Headquarters. "Elders, the matter has been investigated. The Xia family of Longdu has captured Miss Lin, which is why Lord Lu is so enraged."
"So it's the Xia family of Longdu!" Elder Four said coldly. "They are quite audacious; they are truly reaping what they sow!"
"Elders, should we wait and see or intervene?" Long Aotian asked.
"As long as they don't go too far, let them be!" Elder Four waved his hand. "After all, this was all the Xia family's doing; they should bear the responsibility!"
"Your subordinate understands!"
Long Aotian clasped his fists and turned to leave.
The elders looked at each other and immediately showed bitter smiles.
Who should the Xia family have provoked, but they had to provoke Lu Fan, that troublemaker. It was likely that the Xia family would be wiped out before long. Offending a War King and an expert, wasn't that a dead end?
Meanwhile, within the Dragon Country, many people were surprised, unaware of what had happened. They only felt that the surrounding areas within Longdu were filled with a powerful aura, making them shiver. It was as if there were ambushes everywhere.
