Lu Fan did not say much more. He understood the White Family Head's intentions, but some matters, especially those concerning life's significant events, could not be taken lightly. He still had many things to do, and even if he could rely on the Bai family, Lu Fan would never choose that path.
After finishing the meal, Lu Fan cupped his fists and said, "It's getting late. I should be going back!"
"I'll escort you!"
Bai Yudie nodded. She held Lu Fan in high regard, but she also understood that Lu Fan had no romantic interest in her.
Leaving the Bai family, Lu Fan prepared to return to Chen Yishou's place. Although he had only known the old man for a short time, they had become quite familiar. After tonight, he would head to Niujia Village to search for news about the Killer Dynasty. Sudan Novel Network.
However, after only a few steps, Lu Fan's pace suddenly halted. He scanned his surroundings, his gaze becoming sharp as he sensed a palpable killing intent emanating from all directions, suggesting they were well-prepared.
"How was the meal at the Bai family's? Delicious?"
A cold voice rang out. Gao Yunlong approached, "In the Holy City, no one dares to talk back to me. You are the first, and I truly admire you!"
"I see that's all you're capable of!"
Lu Fan shrugged and said, "You're resorting to such despicable means just to deal with me. Waiting here for so long, you must have worked hard!"
"Don't you talk to me with that sarcastic tone. Now that you've fallen into my hands, do you think you'll get away scot-free?"
Gao Yunlong sneered, "If you kowtow and apologize now, I might spare you. Otherwise, you might meet your end here today!"
"If my memory serves me correctly, there are rules in the Holy City against acting rashly!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, "Do you intend to break the rules?"
"In the Holy City, the three great families *are* the rules. You've offended the three great families, and you still expect to walk away unscathed?"
Gao Yunlong chuckled coldly, his eyes growing even colder, as if Lu Fan were already a fish on a chopping block, ready to be slaughtered.
Lu Fan became instantly vigilant. He could sense countless figures around him. If he guessed correctly, Gao Yunlong must have dispatched experts and set up an ambush here.
"This is your last chance. If you don't want it, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Gao Yunlong's voice sounded again, but his gaze turned sharp, as if everything was under his control.
"This is the Holy City. If a fight breaks out, it will surely attract a lot of attention!" Lu Fan said in a low voice, "So you wouldn't dare to act here!"
"Ridiculous. Haven't you noticed that formations are set up all around? Dealing with you would be as easy as blowing away dust!"
Gao Yunlong said coldly, looking at Lu Fan as if he were already dead.
Seeing the scene before him, Lu Fan frowned. He hadn't expected Gao Yunlong to go to such lengths to kill him.
"Esteemed Elders, proceed with the action!"
Gao Yunlong said coldly, "I think this brat is seeking death. Why not fulfill his wish?"
Several elders nodded slightly, their figures transforming into gusts of wind as they advanced directly towards Lu Fan, blocking his escape routes. They only needed to act stealthily to capture Lu Fan, without disturbing any other experts in the Holy City.
More importantly, in this secluded corner, no one knew that the Gao family had made a move, so naturally, no one would cause trouble, nor would anyone know that Gao Yunlong had violated the rules of the Holy City.
Just as Lu Fan was about to unleash his abilities, he found that the elders possessed formidable strength, instantly suppressing his aura and rendering him unable to move.
Lu Fan's expression turned extremely grim. At this moment, he was considering using the Divine Emperor Cauldron by force, as it was the only way to resolve the crisis. However, once the Divine Emperor Cauldron was deployed, it would surely shake the entire Holy City, and even he himself wouldn't be able to manage the aftermath.
"Weren't you quite arrogant just now? Show me your arrogance now!"
Gao Yunlong's expression was indifferent, his words carrying a chilling tone, as if everything in his eyes was insignificant, and Lu Fan was merely a plaything in his hands.
Seeing the scene before him, Lu Fan, with a dark expression, was about to use the Divine Emperor Cauldron when he noticed a figure striding over from not far away: "The Gao family acting so high-handedly, violating the rules of the Holy City, do you not put the three great families in your eyes at all?"
Following this voice, Gao Yunlong realized that the person who had arrived was none other than the Bai Family Head.
"So it's Uncle Bai!"
Gao Yunlong cupped his fists, "Please don't misunderstand, Uncle Bai. This brat is too arrogant, so I wanted to teach him a lesson. I had no intention of violating the Holy City's rules!"
"You may not have had the intention, but you have already acted!"
The Bai Family Head said coldly, "Furthermore, Young Master Lu is a guest of my Bai family. How can you treat my Bai family's guest this way and expect me to not be put in a difficult position?"
"This..."
Gao Yunlong's expression changed instantly. He hadn't expected the Bai Family Head to speak out like this, even intending to protect Lu Fan, which stirred his displeasure.
"What, do you even doubt my words?" the Bai Family Head said coldly again, his expression growing more indifferent.
"How could I dare to doubt your words, Uncle Bai!"
Gao Yunlong smiled slightly and quickly released Lu Fan. With the Bai Family Head personally present, he had no reason to trouble Lu Fan any further.
"If that's the case, then do not act recklessly in the Holy City!"
The Bai Family Head said directly, "If you push things too far, there will always be consequences!"
"Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Bai. Since he is a guest of the Bai family, I naturally will not make things difficult for him." Gao Yunlong smiled, "However, the three great families are of one mind. In the future, there will even be marital ties. In a short while, I will personally go to the Bai family to propose marriage!"
"Propose marriage?" The Bai Family Head narrowed his eyes, "Your tone is quite audacious. Even your father, if he were here, would not dare to speak like this. How can my daughter be obtained so easily by you?"
"Uncle Bai, you can't say that. This is a rule that has existed since ancient times, and it is also the reason why the three great families can survive in the Holy City. If you refuse even this matter, then in the Holy City, the Bai family will gradually lose its say!"
Gao Yunlong smiled, "At that time, the three great families of the Holy City will cease to exist and will become a scattered mess."
"Some things don't require you to teach me!"
The Bai Family Head said coldly, "Your tone is truly audacious. So young and so careless with your words, you don't even put your elders in your eyes!"
"Uncle Bai might have misunderstood. I am not that kind of person!" Gao Yunlong quickly said, "Moreover, my Gao family and your Bai family have great connections. How could I offend Uncle Bai!"
The Bai Family Head did not say much more, nor did he take Gao Yunlong seriously. At this point, he could see that Gao Yunlong harbored wolfish ambitions.
