"You won't succeed. You think you can act in my Miaoyin Workshop and then expect me to take you to the Tianxiang Sect? Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" Miaoyin's expression was cold. She hated Lu Fan with a passion, believing his actions had thoroughly angered her.
"Since Elder Miaoyin is unwilling, I'm afraid I'll have to resort to force!" Lu Fan shrugged. "They say I need to make you feel good about me so you'll look favorably upon me, but I don't think that's necessary. After all, in the face of true strength, everything else is just talk!"
"You're right. If you have enough strength, you can do whatever you want!"
Miaoyin nodded. "But you might have forgotten one thing: I'm no ordinary person. If you want to make a move against me, you'd better weigh whether you have the strength for it!"
"Do you think I wouldn't be standing here if I didn't have the strength?"
Lu Fan burst into laughter, a wicked glint in his eyes. He understood that in the entire Heavenly Realm, strength was the ultimate authority. With sufficient strength, no one could defy you or dictate what you should do.
Lu Fan was very clear about this, which was why he was so direct.
At the same time, Lu Fan could clearly sense that some things were not as simple as they seemed. Miaoyin clearly held a significant prejudice against him, and if he wanted her to lead the way, he would likely have to conquer her first.
With this thought, Lu Fan's gaze instantly sharpened, and he looked at Miaoyin. "I'll give you one more chance. I don't want to fight, but don't think I can't handle you!"
Many people in the Miaoyin Workshop looked at Lu Fan, feeling a sense of injustice and disbelief. For Lu Fan to say such things to a beautiful woman like Miaoyin caught them off guard.
The Northern American Princess, standing nearby, was also a little moved. After all, under normal circumstances, things shouldn't have turned out this way.
"Ahem... Our lord is truly unique. I never expected him to utter such bold words within the Miaoyin Workshop!"
With an embarrassed smile, Bu Qianfan spoke, feeling helpless at the scene.
"Since he's already said it, that's how it has to be!" The Northern American Princess shrugged. "I just wonder if there are any other experts in the Miaoyin Workshop."
"I don't want to fight you. Please leave Miaoyin Workshop immediately." Miaoyin looked at Lu Fan, her gaze carrying a hint of coldness. In her eyes, she was an ethereal woman, and she disliked the idea of wielding weapons.
Moreover, she was well aware that once Lu Fan left Miaoyin Workshop, experts would surely pursue him. She had never doubted that they would do so to win her favor.
After all, many years ago, an Immortal Emperor had massacred many sects to win her favor. Many people remembered this incident, and the events of that year were unforgettable.
At the same time, Lu Fan smiled slightly. "You want me to leave? That won't be so easy. If you don't take me to the Tianxiang Sect today, you might face disaster!"
"You want to make a move against me?"
Miaoyin narrowed her eyes. "Do you know this is Miaoyin Workshop? In this entire region, no one dares to speak like that. You must be the first!"
"I certainly hope I'm the first, not the last!" Lu Fan sneered. "If you wish, you can try!"
At these words, Miaoyin's face turned ashen. She hadn't expected Lu Fan to be so blunt, catching her off guard and making it difficult for her to believe.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan could clearly sense that Miaoyin was quite displeased with today's events, otherwise, she wouldn't be acting this way.
"Even if you're from the Heavenly Court Dynasty, you shouldn't be so arrogant!" Several elders spoke up. "Leave some room for future encounters. Moreover, Elder Miaoyin is so powerful; if she wanted to deal with you, she wouldn't hold back!"
"So much nonsense. I just want her to lead the way, why are you old geezers getting involved?" Lu Fan glanced at them. "Are you in league with her? Otherwise, why would you speak up for her and offend the entire Heavenly Court Dynasty?"
"If you keep spouting rubbish, don't blame me for being impolite!" the elders said coldly. "We are friends of Elder Miaoyin, not her lovers!"
"I didn't say lovers, but your involuntary confession makes things clear!"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly, his words showing no restraint, as if these people were insignificant in his eyes.
"I don't want to fight in Miaoyin Workshop, and you don't need to force me!"
Miaoyin looked at Lu Fan. "I know you're not an ordinary person, but I don't want to make things difficult for you. If you leave Miaoyin Workshop now, I'll pretend nothing happened!"
Seeing Miaoyin's piteous appearance, the onlookers instantly felt a surge of protectiveness and hated Lu Fan even more. They were extremely dissatisfied with such an overbearing person.
"You're quite good at acting!"
Lu Fan glanced at her, his eyes growing colder. He looked at Miaoyin with a hint of killing intent, finding her to be a prime example of a "green tea" woman, her aura almost unbearable.
"Everyone, you are all frequent visitors to Miaoyin Workshop. Now that Miaoyin Workshop has suffered such humiliation, I implore you all to give me justice!"
Miaoyin looked at the crowd, her eyes appearing piteous, showing no hesitation. Her expression was solemn, and she dared not show any negligence.
Faced with these words, the onlookers could no longer tolerate it. Their gazes fixed on Lu Fan, filled with overwhelming rage. In their eyes, Lu Fan's actions had thoroughly provoked them.
However, facing their gazes, Lu Fan remained indifferent, paying no mind to it, as if none of it mattered in his eyes.
At the same time, Lu Fan finally understood that some things were permissible and some were not. Miaoyin, by not acting herself but letting others attack him, was being rather unethical.
"Commander, perhaps we should avoid the confrontation for now?"
Bu Qianfan spoke with seriousness, not daring to delay.
In response, Lu Fan shook his head. "Since we've come this far, why would we leave so easily? Besides, it's probably not that easy to leave now!"
Upon hearing this, Bu Qianfan's face instantly turned awkward. He hadn't expected Lu Fan to speak this way.
