"Why are you so strange!"
Lu Fan rolled his eyes, "What business of yours is it that I'm on this city wall? Why do you block my path!"
"Hmph! In Tian Shang City, no one dares to speak to me like this!"
The woman instantly became furious, looking at Lu Fan with more displeasure, as if Lu Fan's actions were extremely unreasonable in her eyes.
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 be in constant trouble.
"Want to leave? I'm afraid it won't be that easy!"
The woman's expression was indifferent. In an instant, an aura surged forth and attacked Lu Fan. Her expression became 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 he even felt a sense of fear.
Boom...
With a bang, Lu Fan was sent flying, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. At the same time, he frowned, this matter making him even more confused.
"Now you know how powerful I am!"
Liu Ruyan sneered, looking at Lu Fan meaningfully. Her aura was extremely strong.
"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 who can reach this level!"
"You're quite clever!"
Liu Ruyan nodded, "I am the City Lord of Tian Shang City. So, who are you, and why are you acting suspiciously 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, 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 without finding anything, only to stumble upon it by chance'!"
Just then, a burst of laughter rang out. Steward Zhao appeared, followed by other experts from the Northwest Commandery, surrounding Lu Fan tightly.
Lu Fan's brow furrowed. The matter he was most worried about had finally happened, causing his expression to waver.
At the same time, the Situ family patriarch and others also arrived, their eyes filled with malice, "You brat can't escape today!"
"The City Lord of Ju Long City, and Steward Zhao from the Northwest Commandery!"
Liu Ruyan chuckled, "You brat certainly knows 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 a wronged look, appearing somewhat alluring.
Lu Fan didn't say anything more, his spiritual energy surging. With things having reached this point, if he couldn't break free, he might perish here today.
"Patriarch Situ, since you have a deep hatred for him, I'll leave this opportunity to you!"
Steward Zhao chuckled, standing aside as if not intending to intervene.
The Situ family patriarch narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Fan. Lu Fan's gaze was cold, "End yourself now, to spare me from having to do it myself!"
"End myself?"
Lu Fan suddenly sneered, "You think too highly of yourself. Even if I fall in battle today, I will not end myself!"
Upon hearing this, the Situ family patriarch instantly sneered, "Since that is the case, then do not blame me for my merciless actions!"
The Situ family patriarch stepped forward, exuding an aura. As a Martial Emperor expert, he was naturally extraordinary.
Sensing the pressure, Lu Fan's brow furrowed. The Situ family patriarch was a Martial Emperor, and dealing with him would not be easy.
"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 the Situ family patriarch, her expression meaningful.
"City Lord Liu, what do you mean by that?"
The Situ family patriarch spoke coldly, looking at Liu Ruyan.
"This is Tian Shang City. As the City Lord of Tian Shang City, I should have the right to tell you not to act recklessly!"
Liu Ruyan stated assertively, exuding an aura, as if ready to fight if words failed.
"City Lord Liu, we are all colleagues. Why must we damage our relationship over this matter!"
Steward Zhao smiled, "Why not give the Northwest Commandery some face? City Lord Liu, please do not interfere in this matter today!"
"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 are not allowed to fight here!"
"Rules are made by people. As the City Lord, can't you make a decision easily?"
The Situ family patriarch spoke, his expression filled with indifference. Liu Ruyan's actions were making him somewhat displeased.
"If you had spoken politely earlier, I might have given you face, but now there is no opportunity!"
Liu Ruyan sneered, "As long as I am here, no one dares to mess around!"
"You really think you're something!"
The Situ family patriarch spoke coldly, then looked at Steward Zhao, "Steward Zhao, if we attack together, I doubt Liu Ruyan can stop us!"
Steward Zhao frowned and fell into thought. He was well aware that if they were to fight, it would be very bad for the reputation of the Northwest Commandery.
If the people of the Northwest Commandery fought with the City Lord in Tian Shang City, and this news spread, even Long Bei would blame him.
"Steward Zhao!"
The Situ family patriarch frowned and called out again.
"I should not fight within Tian Shang City!"
Steward Zhao shook his head, "It seems we can only deal with this brat after he leaves Tian Shang City!"
The Situ family patriarch's brow furrowed 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 the Situ family patriarch meaningfully.
The Situ family patriarch snorted but said nothing more. Liu Ruyan's strength was not inferior to his, and if they were to fight, he feared he could not withstand it.
After the Situ family patriarch and the others left, Liu Ruyan looked at Lu Fan, "Rest assured, 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 event had caused him some alarm.
"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 her at all. Under normal circumstances, this shouldn't be the case. Su Dan Novel Network.
Thinking of this, Lu Fan became even more confused. Just as he was about to ask, he found that 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 intervening, I would have been in trouble!"
"The City Lord of Tian Shang?"
