Lu Fan frowned. As he saw it, he naturally did not wish to fight here, but the person before him was being overly aggressive, which displeased him greatly.
"What, are you upset?"
Gao Yunlong sneered, "Since that's the case, then make your move!"
His words were full of provocation, and Gao Yunlong was even more eager for Lu Fan to attack.
The Holy City had regulations that no one was allowed to fight within its confines. As long as Lu Fan made the first move, Gao Yunlong could then retaliate against him, thus avoiding any repercussions for himself.
As the young master of the Gao family, he was naturally astute and understood certain matters clearly.
"For the dignified young master of the Gao family to bully others here, isn't that going too far?"
Just then, outside the Myriad Scrolls Pavilion, a woman strode in, accompanied by a maid. She exuded a considerable presence.
"Isn't that the eldest young lady of the Bai family, Yu Die?"
Many people present exclaimed in surprise, anticipating a good show. One possessed the Ancient Divine Physique, and the other two were from the three great families of the Holy City. Such an event was rarely seen.
"Bai Yu Die, what does it have to do with you if I'm teaching him a lesson?"
Gao Yunlong said coldly, "Are you meddling too much?"
"Of course, it has nothing to do with me!"
Bai Yu Die smiled and then looked at Lu Fan, "Don't worry, as long as you don't make the first move, he won't dare to do anything to you. No one dares to act rashly within the Holy City, especially not here at the Myriad Scrolls Pavilion!"
"Thank you for letting me know!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists slightly, showing gratitude. He had not expected Bai Yu Die to help him.
"No need to thank me!"
Bai Yu Die smiled, "You are the Ancient Divine Physique, and you will be able to rule a region in the future. My Bai family is holding a banquet, would you grace us with your presence!"
"This..."
Lu Fan hesitated, but did not refuse. He was currently entangled by this Gao Yunlong, and it might not be a bad idea to use the Bai family to extricate himself.
"You don't need to worry. The Bai family has no ill intentions. If you are unwilling, the Bai family will not force you!" Bai Yu Die said earnestly.
"How could I refuse such an invitation from Miss Bai!"
Lu Fan chuckled, "After I finish perusing the ancient texts, I will accompany Miss Bai!"
"Thank you very much, then!" Bai Yu Die's face lit up instantly. Having Lu Fan visit would be a good thing for the Bai family.
"Bai Yu Die, are you going too far?"
Gao Yunlong said coldly, "Isn't this clearly targeting me? Don't you forget, the Holy City has three great families, and my Gao family is one of them!"
"So what?" Bai Yu Die chuckled, "He is now a guest of my Bai family. If anyone troubles him, they are troubling my Bai family!"
"As everyone knows, the three great families of the Holy City are united, and in the future, the three great families will inevitably have intermarriages!"
Gao Yunlong stated directly, "Perhaps I will be your man in the future, yet you are now exchanging glances with another man!"
"One can eat anything, but one cannot speak carelessly!"
Bai Yu Die said coldly, "I do not agree with this matter!"
Gao Yunlong's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. Being insulted by Bai Yu Die in front of everyone was something he could not accept.
Lu Fan carefully perused the texts but did not find any ancient records of the Assassin Dynasty, which made him frown.
His main purpose in coming to the Holy City was to find news about the Assassin Dynasty, and now he could not find any leads.
"What are you looking for? I'll help you!"
Bai Yu Die smiled, "I am very familiar with the items in the Myriad Scrolls Pavilion!"
"I want to find scrolls related to the Assassin Dynasty!"
Lu Fan said directly, without any deception. After all, such scrolls would be of great use to him.
"Assassin Dynasty?"
Bai Yu Die was slightly startled, and her heart became somewhat flustered. If it were other factions, she would not react this way, but the Assassin Dynasty was no ordinary force.
"The scrolls of the Assassin Dynasty are not something that ordinary people can see. Why are you looking for them?"
Bai Yu Die stated directly, "The scrolls pertaining to the Assassin Dynasty have already been destroyed!"
"Some matters are not convenient to disclose!"
Lu Fan gave a wry smile, feeling a sense of despair. His purpose in coming to the Holy City was to obtain information about the Assassin Dynasty, and he had not expected that the scrolls of the Assassin Dynasty had already been destroyed.
"You have quite the nerve, boy, to even dare to look for the scrolls of the Assassin Dynasty!"
Gao Yunlong said coldly, "Are you tired of living?"
"What business is it of yours whether I search or not?"
Lu Fan asked coldly, "Do you think that just because you are the eldest young master of the Gao family, you can lord over everyone?"
"How dare you speak to my young master like this!" The elders behind him spoke coldly, emanating powerful auras.
"This is the Holy City, and moreover, it is the Myriad Scrolls Pavilion. You dare not touch me!" Lu Fan shrugged, "Since you don't dare to make a move, then don't put on a pretense here. Otherwise, you might really think I'm afraid of you!"
"Courageous, indeed you are courageous!"
Gao Yunlong applauded. Although his eyes held anger, he did not show it. Instead, he kept praising Lu Fan.
Lu Fan ignored him and continued searching for the scrolls.
Others present had expected Gao Yunlong to lose his temper and directly attack Lu Fan. However, to everyone's surprise, Gao Yunlong did not make a move. Instead, he left the Myriad Scrolls Pavilion directly, appearing nonchalant.
Outside the Myriad Scrolls Pavilion, an elder hurried forward, "Young Master, this brat is insolent and completely disregards you. Should we find an opportunity to teach him a lesson?"
"That's only natural!" Gao Yunlong said coldly, "This brat has quite the audacity to act so presumptuously in front of me. I must make him pay the price!"
In response to these words, the other elders also nodded. They also found Lu Fan's arrogant demeanor unbearable, but unfortunately, this was the Holy City, and they could not act arbitrarily.
After all, the three great families were supreme in the Holy City, but there were also various other powerful individuals, especially some hidden experts. They could not disturb their cultivation, otherwise, even their Gao family would not be able to bear the consequences.
Inside the Myriad Scrolls Pavilion, Elder Wan Juan smiled faintly, "You don't need to look anymore, boy. What you want cannot be found."
"Grandpa Wan Juan, why don't you help him? After all, you have the Myriad Scrolls in your mind, and nothing can stump you," Bai Yu Die said coquettishly.
"That might not be possible. Some things can be spoken, and some things cannot!"
Elder Wan Juan shook his head, "What this boy wants to know will bring about a deadly disaster. If not careful, even the Holy City could be in peril."
"Do even you fear the Assassin Dynasty?" Lu Fan frowned. The Holy City had a great reputation in the Eastern Domain. If even these people feared the Assassin Dynasty, it showed how terrifying the Assassin Dynasty was.
"You may not know, boy, but in ancient times, how many people did the Assassin Dynasty kill, and how powerful were those individuals!" Elder Wan Juan sighed.
