"Why are you so strange!"
Lu Fan rolled his eyes, "What business is it of yours that I'm on this city wall? Why are you blocking my way!"
"Hmph! In Tian Shang City, no one dares to speak to me like this!"
The woman was instantly furious, looking at Lu Fan with even more dissatisfaction, as if in her eyes, Lu Fan's actions were extremely unreasonable.
Lu Fan ignored her and turned to leave. The people from the Northwest Commandery and the Situ family were all in Tian Shang City. If his whereabouts were exposed, he would likely face endless trouble.
"Want to leave? I'm afraid it won't be that easy!"
The woman's expression was indifferent. In an instant, a surge of energy rushed towards Lu Fan, her expression becoming even colder, as if she didn't take Lu Fan seriously at all.
Sensing the powerful aura, Lu Fan was also slightly surprised. He hadn't expected such an ordinary-looking woman to be a master, and even he felt a hint of fear.
Boom...
With a resounding impact, Lu Fan was sent flying, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. At the same time, his brow furrowed, making him even more confused.
"Now you know how powerful I am!"
Liu Ruyan sneered, looking at Lu Fan meaningfully. Her aura was also extremely formidable.
"You are a Martial Emperor level expert!"
Lu Fan frowned, "In the entire Tian Shang City, apart from the City Lord, there should be no one else at this level!"
"I didn't expect you to be quite smart!"
Liu Ruyan nodded, "I am the City Lord of Tian Shang City, so who exactly are you? And why are you lurking around in Tian Shang City!"
"I'm just a passerby!"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, "It's truly humbling that the City Lord of Tian Shang City personally attacked me!"
"I don't believe your nonsense!"
Liu Ruyan narrowed her eyes, feeling even more surprised. Lu Fan, despite his young age, possessed extraordinary strength, which made her even more suspicious.
"It's truly a case of 'searching high and low for something and finding it without effort'!"
Just then, a hearty laugh echoed, and Steward Zhao appeared. Other experts from the Northwest Commandery also emerged, surrounding Lu Fan tightly.
Lu Fan's brow furrowed. The thing he feared most had finally happened, causing a ripple of emotion on his face.
At the same time, the Situ family head and others also arrived, their eyes filled with malice, "You brat cannot escape today!"
"City Lord of Ju Long City, and Steward Zhao of the Northwest Commandery!"
Liu Ruyan chuckled, "You brat sure know how to stir up trouble!"
"It's all your fault!"
Lu Fan rolled his eyes and frowned. Being discovered by them now was definitely not a good thing for Lu Fan.
"How can it be my fault!"
Liu Ruyan feigned grievance, appearing somewhat alluring.
Lu Fan said no more, and his spiritual energy surged. With things having come to this point, if he couldn't break free, he would likely perish here today.
"Patriarch Situ, since you have such a deep enmity with him, I'll give you this opportunity!"
Steward Zhao chuckled, standing aside and seemingly not intending to act.
Patriarch Situ narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Fan. Lu Fan's gaze was cold, "End yourself! So I don't have to do it myself!"
"End myself?"
Lu Fan suddenly sneered, "You think too highly of yourself. Even if I die in battle today, I will not end myself!"
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Situ immediately sneered, "Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Patriarch Situ stepped forward, exuding an aura. As a Martial Emperor level expert, he was naturally extraordinary.
Sensing the pressure, Lu Fan's brow furrowed. Patriarch Situ was a Martial Emperor, and dealing with him would not be an easy task.
"Patriarch Situ, this is Tian Shang City. Is it appropriate for you to fight here!"
Liu Ruyan's voice rang out, her gaze fixed on Patriarch Situ, filled with meaning.
"City Lord Liu, what do you mean by that?"
Patriarch Situ spoke coldly, looking at Liu Ruyan.
"This is Tian Shang City, and as its City Lord, I should have the authority to tell you not to cause trouble!"
Liu Ruyan spoke with conviction, exuding an aura, as if ready to fight if words failed.
"City Lord Liu, we are all colleagues, why spoil the harmony over this matter!"
Steward Zhao smiled, "Why not give the Northwest Commandery some face, and City Lord Liu refrain from interfering in today's affairs!"
"If I give the Northwest Commandery face, who will give me face?"
Liu Ruyan stated directly, "According to the rules of Tian Shang City, you cannot fight here!"
"Rules are made by people, and as the City Lord, can't you easily make a decision?"
Patriarch Situ spoke, his expression filled with coldness. Liu Ruyan's actions displeased him somewhat.
"If you had spoken nicely earlier, I might have given you face, but now, I'm afraid there's no chance!"
Liu Ruyan sneered, "As long as I am here, no one dares to act recklessly!"
"You really think highly of yourself!"
Patriarch Situ spoke coldly and looked at Steward Zhao, "Steward Zhao, if we attack together, I doubt Liu Ruyan can stop us!"
Steward Zhao's brow furrowed, and he fell into thought. He knew very well that if they really acted, it would be extremely detrimental to the reputation of the Northwest Commandery.
If people from the Northwest Commandery fought with the City Lord in Tian Shang City, and this news spread, even Long Bei would blame him.
"Steward Zhao!"
Patriarch Situ frowned and called out again.
"I should not act within Tian Shang City!"
Steward Zhao shook his head, "It seems I can only wait for this brat to leave Tian Shang City to deal with him!"
Patriarch Situ's brow furrowed, filled with dissatisfaction. This was a golden opportunity, and he hadn't expected Steward Zhao to miss it.
"Patriarch Situ, are you perhaps trying to test me?"
Liu Ruyan looked at Patriarch Situ meaningfully.
Patriarch Situ snorted, but said no more. Liu Ruyan's strength was not inferior to his, and if they were to fight, he feared he wouldn't be able to handle it.
After Patriarch Situ and the others left, Liu Ruyan looked at Lu Fan, "Don't worry, as long as you are within Tian Shang City, no one can touch you!"
"Why did you save me?"
Lu Fan looked at Liu Ruyan, his expression filled with emotion. After all, such an incident had occurred, and it still made him somewhat flustered.
"I didn't save you!"
Liu Ruyan shrugged, "I just didn't want Yan and the others to break the rules!"
"Is that so?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, not believing it at all. Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be like this. Su Dan Novel Network
Thinking of this, Lu Fan became even more confused. Just as he was about to ask, he realized Liu Ruyan had already left.
Returning to the courtyard, Zhao Xue walked over, "How was it? Did you find another exit?"
"No!"
Lu Fan shook his head, "I was discovered just now. If it weren't for the City Lord of Tian Shang City intervening, I would be in big trouble!"
"City Lord of Tian Shang City?"
