"On this earth, it's best not to utter those three words!" Lu Fan sneered, "Otherwise, you'll be in mortal danger!"
"You want to kill me?"
Gu Hai looked towards Lu Fan, his eyes filled with coldness. As the young master of the Gu family, how could he tolerate Lu Fan's arrogance?
"It's not that I want to kill you, but that you want to kill me!"
Lu Fan shrugged and said, "It's just that your luck is poor, and you're ultimately going to die by my hand."
"You have quite the nerve. I'd like to know what gives you the confidence to attack me!"
Gu Hai sneered, "I am the young master of the Gu family. In the entire imperial city, no one dares to offend the Gu family except the royal family. If you dare to attack me, you are challenging the majesty of the Gu family!"
"Is that so?"
Lu Fan instantly sneered, "I don't care about these things. Anyone who attacks me, I will repay tenfold. This is my way of doing things!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Fan walked towards Gu Hai step by step, carrying a murderous intent. His eyes were extremely cold.
Seeing this, Gu Hai slightly retreated, his expression changing. Although he looked down on Lu Fan, he knew very well that he was no match for Lu Fan. If he rashly engaged, he might be in mortal danger.
"What happened?"
Bi Qing came out and her expression changed upon seeing the several corpses nearby.
"It's nothing, just someone coming to cause trouble." Lu Fan shrugged and said, "But I can handle it, Sister Bi Qing doesn't need to worry."
Bi Qing was stunned for a moment before turning her gaze to Gu Hai, "If I'm not mistaken, he should be the young master of the Gu family? Coming to the Immortal Abode, is he here to deal with you?"
"That's right, I am indeed here to deal with him!" Gu Hai said indifferently, without any concealment.
"You have quite the nerve, being so brazen. Aren't you afraid of retaliation?" Bi Qing narrowed her eyes.
"I am the young master of the Gu family. If I were to die here today, do you think you could leave alive?" Gu Hai smiled faintly, "I advise you to think twice."
Lu Fan, however, did not hesitate. Just as he was about to make a move, he was stopped by Bi Qing, "He is the young master of the Gu family. If you really move against him, it might cause unnecessary trouble."
Lu Fan paused slightly and frowned. He knew this, but the fact that the young master of the Gu family dared to attack him made him quite displeased.
Seeing that Lu Fan was stopped, Gu Hai quickly fled. Although he was the young master of the Gu family, he was not entirely confident if Lu Fan were to truly attack him.
Seeing Gu Hai leave, Bi Qing spoke, "You won't blame me, will you?"
"Sister, you jest. How could I blame you!" Lu Fan shook his head and said, "Sister is right. Moving against him now would surely displease the Gu family. By then, before completing the mission, we might have to leave the imperial city!"
"That's right, that's what I thought too!" Bi Qing nodded and said, "After we deal with Gu Yuntong, we'll deal with this young master of the Gu family as well." Su Dan Novel Network
Lu Fan nodded slightly, saying nothing more. He knew very well that those who achieve great things do not get bogged down by minor details.
It is unknown who said it, but Shen Yehong, upon learning that Ye Fan was captured, was furious and brought Shen Tian to the Immortal Abode.
"Mr. Lu, was it really Gu Hai's doing?" Shen Tian asked, "If so, I will report this matter to my father, the Emperor."
"I will handle this matter myself, so I won't trouble the Prince." Lu Fan said softly.
Shen Tian frowned slightly, "How does Mr. Lu plan to resolve this? You are my honored guest, how can you suffer such an injustice?"
"Since he came to kill me, how can I let him live."
Lu Fan shrugged and said, "But now is not the time. When the time is ripe, I will surely strike him with a thunderous blow!"
Shen Tian trembled violently. He knew that Lu Fan's identity was not simple and that he was no ordinary person. But from Lu Fan's words, he could not help but sense Lu Fan's killing intent.
"I support you!" Shen Yehong said, "How dare Gu Hai attack you? Even if you don't, I will tear him to pieces."
"It's just a small matter, thank you for your trouble, everyone." Lu Fan smiled.
Shen Tian felt awkward to say more. He had wanted to report this to his father and then involve Shen Zhanguo, but it seemed Lu Fan did not wish for that.
After leaving the Immortal Abode, Shen Yehong looked at Shen Tian, "Second Brother, it's all your fault. You're using them, and that's not a good thing!"
"How dare you speak to your second brother like that!" Shen Tian glared, "I didn't want to, but I had no choice."
"I don't believe you!"
Shen Yehong said directly, "You want to contend for the throne, I have nothing to say. But you cannot involve my friends, otherwise, our sibling relationship will be severed."
"Little sister, they are just outsiders. Using them brings me great benefits." Shen Tian said, "After all, the influence of Tongtian Academy is considered top-tier in the entire Taiyan Dynasty."
"I know what you're saying, but whether it's Big Brother or you, you are both my brothers, so I will not allow you to do this." Shen Yehong said directly, "And I will not participate in your struggle for the throne!"
Shen Tian remained silent, his face somber. The reason he acted this way was out of helplessness. He had always been opposed to Shen Zhanguo, and if Shen Zhanguo ascended the throne, it would pose a great threat to him.
With this thought, Shen Tian's eyes became resolute, and a faint killing intent appeared.
Meanwhile, in the imperial palace, Gu Hai's face was ashen. He arrived before Shen Zhanguo.
"How is it? Did things go as planned?" Shen Zhanguo asked, "Why do you look so dispirited?"
"It is my subordinate's fault!"
Gu Hai quickly cupped his fists, "This assassination attempt was unsuccessful, and I even exposed my identity."
"How could you mess this up? You couldn't even handle such a small matter?"
Shen Zhanguo's face instantly turned grim, and he said coldly, "So, that brat is still alive."
"This is all my fault. It's because I didn't investigate thoroughly that things turned out this way."
Gu Hai quickly said, "It's all my fault, but next time I will send a master to deal with him!"
"Even you couldn't capture him. This brat is probably not simple."
Shen Zhanguo shook his head, "How many people did you bring?"
"More than ten Venerables, all experts from the Gu family, but unfortunately, they all died tragically." Gu Hai dared not hide anything.
At this moment, Shen Zhanguo's brows also furrowed slightly. Naturally, he had not expected Lu Fan to possess such strength, to be able to kill ten Venerables. This was not something an ordinary person could do.
"This matter is no small matter!"
Shen Zhanguo said coldly, "If this brat is not eliminated, he will be a great threat to me."
