In the eighth-floor room, Lin Ke was looking at documents. Having been confined to the hotel for the past few days, he hadn't forgotten about work. Su Dan Novel Network.
However, just then, Lu Fan burst in. Seeing Lin Ke unharmed, his face lit up with joy.
"Lord Lu!"
Old Master Han exclaimed, "You've finally arrived!"
"Xiao Fan!"
Lin Ke stood up and then threw herself into Lu Fan's arms. Tears streamed down her previously calm face. If Old Master Han hadn't appeared in time that day, she would have been defiled. How could she face anyone then?
"Silly girl, don't cry! Aren't I here now!"
Lu Fan stroked Lin Ke's hair, his eyes filled with adoration.
Lin Aotian and the Han family head slowly left the room. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time and naturally needed to catch up.
After a while, Lu Fan emerged, holding Lin Ke's hand. "Let's go to the Xia family!"
"Xiao Fan, this was the work of young master Xia!" Lin Ke said. "Punish him alone!"
"No one can bully my woman!"
Lu Fan's words were firm. "Come with me!"
Downstairs, everyone stepped forward. Lin Ke saw the two bound individuals, her eyes filled with hatred. Old Master Han had been severely injured, and they were responsible.
"Grandfather!" Han Qiushui approached. "I heard you were injured?"
"Don't worry, it's just a minor injury!" the Han family head waved his hand.
"Was it them!" Han Qiushui looked at the Three Eccentrics of Longdu.
In that instant, Han Qiushui struck out with a palm. The two old men immediately spat blood, their faces turning pale. They were like beaten dogs now, daring not to retaliate.
"Han family head, these two are yours to deal with!" Lu Fan said. "Life or death is irrelevant!"
"Thank you, Lord Lu!" The Han family head narrowed his eyes.
"It was all our fault before, we shouldn't have been lackeys!"
The eldest eccentric knelt and begged for mercy. "We implore all lords to show mercy. We will never offend you again!"
"Still thinking about a future? You've got quite the imagination."
Han Qiushui surged with internal energy. The two old men died instantly.
The Three Eccentrics of Longdu deserved their fate. Having injured Old Master Han, how could he let it go?
After resolving these matters, Lu Fan led everyone towards the Xia family. He would not let today's events slide. Anything could be discussed, but his bottom line could not be crossed.
Meanwhile, at the Xia family mansion, Gu Wen led his group to the residence, surrounding the Xia family tightly. Originally, Han Qiushui was to lead the contingent, but wanting to see Old Master Han earlier, he had Gu Wen lead many grandmaster experts to the Xia family courtyard.
The many guards of the Xia family trembled. With dozens of grandmaster experts present, they had never witnessed such a scene.
"May I ask who you are, young friend?" The Xia family head came out and cupped his fists. "If the Xia family has offended you in any way, we will certainly do our best to rectify it!"
"I don't think it's necessary!" Gu Wen waved his hand. "Lord Lu will be here shortly. The Xia family's doomsday is near!"
The Xia family head's expression changed. The Xia family held immense influence throughout Longdu, but now, surrounded by over a dozen grandmasters, he felt a pang of uncertainty.
More importantly, the truly powerful figures hadn't even arrived yet, and there were already so many experts.
"Family Head, what should we do!"
Several martial arts experts spoke up. "There are dozens of grandmasters here!"
The Xia family head looked helpless. The Xia family was a commercial giant in Longdu, but not a martial arts family. Although they had far-reaching influence, they might not be able to protect themselves today.
Not far from the Xia family's entrance, young master Xia was rushing home. Seeing the courtyard surrounded by numerous experts, his figure suddenly stopped. "What's going on? Someone dares to cause trouble at the Xia family!"
"Young Master, you might not know, but that Miss Lin has a powerful figure behind her!" A man said. "The Family Head wants you to return immediately to apologize! Otherwise, the Xia family might be in danger!"
"Such big talk. When has the dignified Xia family ever bowed to anyone!" Young master Xia said coldly. "Change course and head to the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Go to the City Lord's Mansion now?" The man frowned slightly. "That might not be a good idea!"
"They are surrounding the Xia family, so we naturally need to ask the City Lord's Mansion for help," young master Xia said coldly. "The City Lord has a good relationship with my father. He won't stand by and do nothing. As long as the City Lord intervenes, won't these people have to bow their heads in submission!"
The man nodded slightly and dared not say anything more.
Not long after, they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. The Dragon Capital City Lord, upon learning of the situation, raised an eyebrow. "How audacious! Someone dares to cause trouble in the Dragon Capital City!"
"There are many experts among them. City Lord, you must help my Xia family!"
Young master Xia cupped his fists. "Otherwise, my Xia family might be in great trouble!"
"Don't worry, I will send a few capable subordinates!" The Dragon Capital City Lord waved his hand. "This is, after all, the Dragon Capital City, the place I rule. No one dares to act recklessly!"
"If the City Lord doesn't go personally, this matter might not be resolved!"
Young master Xia said seriously. "They have at least over 10 grandmasters."
"So many grandmaster experts!" The Dragon Capital City Lord frowned. "What exactly did you do to cause such big trouble?"
"It's all my fault for my momentary foolishness. City Lord, you must help me!" Young master Xia pleaded earnestly.
"Since that's the case, I'll go personally!" The Dragon Capital City Lord said helplessly. He had received quite a bit of benefit from the Xia family, so how could he not help them in their time of need.
"Thank you, City Lord!" Young master Xia was overjoyed. His arrogance in Longdu was due to the backing of the Dragon Capital City Lord. With the City Lord's promise to act, the matter could be easily resolved.
Soon after, many experts from the City Lord's Mansion were dispatched towards the Xia family, attracting considerable attention.
The Dragon Capital City Lord's Mansion did not mobilize lightly. This time, even the City Lord himself was personally involved, indicating that something significant was about to happen, otherwise, it wouldn't be like this.
Meanwhile, in the Xia family courtyard, the Xia family members had been captured, and even the Xia family head was tied to a tree. Gu Wen was sipping tea, quietly waiting.
Today, the Xia family was likely to cease to exist.
However, just then, the Dragon Capital City Lord, leading numerous experts, stormed into the courtyard, instantly confronting the grandmasters of the Qingyun Sect.
Seeing the Xia family head tied up, the Dragon Capital City Lord frowned. "How dare you! Do you dare to act so brazenly in the Dragon Capital City!"
"Who are you!" Gu Wen glanced over. "Dare you run rampant here!"
"Audacious! This is the Dragon Capital City Lord!"
A grandmaster said coldly. "You have quite the nerve to act like this!"
"Dragon Capital City Lord?" Gu Wen slightly stood up. "So what? The affairs of my Qingyun Sect are not for others to interfere with!"
"Qingyun Sect!"
The Dragon Capital City Lord trembled. "You are from the Qingyun Sect?"
"That's right!" Gu Wen stated directly.
The Dragon Capital City Lord's expression changed. He had heard of the Qingyun Sect, which had many martial arts experts. Lord Lu from Jiangnan also had some reputation. This matter might be difficult to handle.
