Thus, Chen Fan and Xia Bingqing were led into the forest by the middle-aged man.
Upon their arrival, two groups were already in a standoff.
Seeing this, Chen Fan and Xia Bingqing were confused…
What were they supposed to do?
The middle-aged man spoke then, "Since the people from our two sects cannot agree, how about we find an unrelated person to mediate?"
"Heh heh…" The leader of the Qingmen, a middle-aged man, seemed to find it amusing. "Do you think that's possible?"
"Wang Zhan, don't you find that ridiculous?"
"This land, we Qingmen will have it!"
Wang Zhan was the middle-aged man who had called Chen Fan and Xia Bingqing earlier.
His features were rugged, giving him an extraordinary aura.
Especially his eyes, which were bright and seemed to speak, containing a hint of killing intent.
Wang Zhan said gravely, "Li Qing, we Tianlang have no intention of being enemies with you. We hope you can sit down and talk properly, rather than resorting to violence!"
"Furthermore, bloodshed is not a good thing for either of our sides!"
Li Qing surveyed the crowd and said loudly, "I'm sorry, but we Qingmen people enjoy bloodshed today, so what?"
"Exactly, you want us to back down just like that? You're dreaming!"
"Today, this battle is unavoidable!"
Wang Zhan hadn't expected Li Qing to be so obstinate. "Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say!"
"Let the battle begin!"
Li Qing narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Heh heh, I've been waiting for you to say that!"
Wang Zhan remained expressionless and said apologetically to Chen Fan and Xia Bingqing, "My apologies for disturbing you two!"
"Sorry, please leave."
Chen Fan nodded, pulling Xia Bingqing to leave.
Just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out.
"You've come, and now you want to leave?"
The speaker was a young man beside Li Qing, with a buzz cut and sharp, narrow eyes like knives.
His presence was imposing.
He was the vice-leader of the Qingmen and Li Qing's son.
Li Wei.
The moment Xia Bingqing appeared, he had taken a liking to her.
He wanted to make her his own.
Wang Zhan, being an old hand, naturally saw through the situation and said gravely, "I invited them!"
Li Wei sneered, "So what if you invited them?"
"You…" Wang Zhan was a bit annoyed, his face turning cold. "Kid, I advise you to speak properly, as I am your elder!"
"Also, Li Qing, is this how you educate your son?"
Li Qing's expression was blank. "I have no control over what my son does!"
"As the saying goes, like father, like son!" Wang Zhan retorted sarcastically.
Li Wei narrowed his eyes and shouted coldly, "Old man, are you looking for death?"
The Tianlang sect members were also enraged by Li Wei's disrespect towards Wang Zhan.
"Li Wei, mind your words!"
"Don't play with fire!"
"Haha…" Li Wei threw his head back and laughed proudly. "With these trash from the Tianlang sect, you're not enough to make me afraid!"
"Also, don't drag the matters between the Tianlang sect and the Qingmen onto them!"
He raised his hand, pointing at Chen Fan and Xia Bingqing.
"Now, this is about me and them!"
"This girl, I, Li Wei, want her, and I'm taking her today, understand?"
At this moment, Li Wei's face was contorted with anger, giving him an unapproachable aura.
It was only now that Xia Bingqing understood why they had been asked to stay…
