"Spirit King Realm?"
Patriarch Chu was startled. "I never imagined he reached such a level at such a young age. It's truly astonishing."
"It's nothing. At Beihai Academy, there are quite a few disciples who become Spirit King Realm powerhouses."
Lu Fan spoke, "However, I'm curious, Patriarch Chu. As a father, why would you do this?"
"You wouldn't understand, and you never will."
Patriarch Chu said coldly, "To consolidate family power, sacrificing some things is worth it. Only then can the family be as solid as gold."
"So, your daughter is just a tool! In your eyes, she's not worth mentioning at all," Lu Fan narrowed his eyes.
"You want to sow discord between father and daughter here. Even if you are a Spirit King powerhouse, I will still capture you!"
Patriarch Chu's expression was indifferent. He slowly floated into the air. He wanted to see how strong Lu Fan was, but he didn't dare to be too reckless, as he was also merely a Spirit King.
"Sect Master, please be careful!" Chu Ting reminded him, her gaze becoming serious.
Lu Fan, however, remained indifferent, not taking it seriously at all. Although Patriarch Chu was a Spirit King powerhouse, his aura wasn't particularly strong. Lu Fan could handle ten such people with one hand.
"You arrogant brat, how dare you act presumptuously before me!"
With sharp eyes, Patriarch Chu's aura surged, carrying an invincible presence that filled everyone with awe.
Seeing this scene, Lu Fan suddenly soared into the air and kicked out. Patriarch Chu was about to unleash his ultimate skill but found Lu Fan's kick incredibly fast, leaving him no room to dodge or evade.
Boom...
A massive impact sound echoed. Patriarch Chu's body was sent flying, clearly no match for Lu Fan, his face filled with unwillingness.
"So powerful, so powerful!" Chu Ting exclaimed.
Back at Beihai Academy, Lu Fan's aura wasn't this formidable. Now, he was completely different.
He couldn't even withstand a single move from Patriarch Chu, and his pride was deeply wounded.
"Do you know that you've not only offended the Chu family but also the Eighth Prince's Mansion!" Patriarch Chu said coldly. "He is someone the Heir Apparent values! If you take her away today, you will face endless pursuit in the future."
"The Eighth Prince's Mansion?"
Lu Fan frowned. He didn't know what kind of power the Eighth Prince's Mansion was, but the fact that it made Patriarch Chu so arrogant suggested it was an extremely influential force.
"Sect Master, this is my problem," Su Dan Novel Net said.
Chu Ting spoke, "You should leave quickly! The Eighth Prince's Mansion belongs to the royal family of the White Dragon Dynasty. You cannot afford to offend them!"
"You are my Qingyun Sect disciples. How can I stand by and do nothing?"
Lu Fan said coldly, "No matter what force it is, they cannot bully my Qingyun Sect members."
Chu Ting looked at him with gratitude, but she knew clearly that the Eighth Prince's Mansion was not to be trifled with, lest it bring about a life-threatening disaster.
"You've got quite the big mouth, kid!"
Patriarch Chu sneered, "Do you think that just because you are a disciple of Beihai Academy, you can challenge the Eighth Prince's Mansion? Let me tell you the truth! If you offend the Eighth Prince's Mansion, even your Beihai Academy will suffer."
Lu Fan's brow furrowed. Beihai Academy held considerable influence in Yun Prefecture. Patriarch Chu's words were not baseless. If this were true, the power of the White Dragon Dynasty's royal family would likely be terrifying.
However, since he had already made a move, he could not possibly retreat.
"Since she doesn't want to marry, why are you, as a father, being so aggressive?"
Lu Fan stated directly, "I am taking her away. As for what you plan to do, that is the Chu family's business."
After speaking, Lu Fan took Chu Ting and the others away. The Chu family members wanted to pursue them but dared not act rashly. Lu Fan's strength was formidable, and if they chased him rashly, it would only lead to endless trouble.
"Patriarch, what should we do now?"
A man from the Chu family spoke, his expression grave. "The young lady has been taken away. The Eighth Prince's Mansion will never let this matter rest."
"Return to Chu City!"
Patriarch Chu's expression was cold. Lu Fan's strength was too great for him to handle. Now, this matter could only be reported to the Eighth Prince's Mansion, letting them deal with it.
After the Chu family members left, Lu Fan looked at Chu Ting and the others. "As you said, the Eighth Prince's Mansion will never let this matter rest. You need to leave quickly, or you will face certain death."
"We have already decided to go to another country," Chu Ting said. "Sect Master, why don't you come with us? Now that you've offended the Eighth Prince's Mansion, they will never let you go."
"It's fine!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "I still need to find someone in the White Dragon Dynasty, so I cannot leave yet. You don't need to worry about me!"
"Your great kindness is beyond words. When I have achieved mastery in cultivation, I will repay your great debt, Sect Master!"
Chu Ting cupped her fists, filled with gratitude. If Lu Fan hadn't intervened, she would likely have been forced. Now that Lu Fan had caused trouble for her, she felt uneasy.
"Alright, hurry up and go!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "Leave the White Dragon Dynasty as soon as possible!"
Chu Ting and Li Ziming nodded. "Long Yi and the others are still in Chu City. I don't know if they will be in danger!"
"Don't worry, I'll go take a look!" Lu Fan waved his hand.
Chu Ting was stunned. "Absolutely not! The Eighth Prince's Mansion has experts in Chu City!"
"It's fine, they won't find me!" Lu Fan shrugged.
Chu Ting wanted to dissuade him, but after thinking it over, she figured that even Manager Zhao might not be Lu Fan's match.
Not long after, Lu Fan left the small town and headed towards Chu City.
Chu Ting and Li Ziming traveled north, not daring to delay in the slightest. They knew that leaving the White Dragon Dynasty was the safest course of action.
In Chu City, Patriarch Chu's mouth was bleeding, and his arm was bandaged. He came before Manager Zhao and said, "Sir, you must help me!"
"What happened? The dignified Patriarch of the Chu family looks so disheveled?"
Manager Zhao glanced at him and frowned.
"I had already captured that girl, but unexpectedly, someone intervened and even disregarded the Eighth Prince's Mansion!"
Patriarch Chu complained, "If such a person is not brought to justice, how can the Eighth Prince's Mansion maintain its dignity!"
"Who is it that is so audacious as to interfere in the affairs of the Eighth Prince's Mansion?"
Manager Zhao said coldly, "Within the White Dragon Dynasty, no one dares to be so arrogant!"
"This person is a disciple of Beihai Academy. He's arrogant because of Beihai Academy, and he even took that girl Chu Ting away!" Patriarch Chu said repeatedly.
"Hmph, a mere academy. Does it really think it can go against the royal family?"
Manager Zhao snorted, his expression even colder.
"Who says it isn't!" Patriarch Chu added fuel to the fire.
"My wife, where is my wife?" Bai Xi cried out.
"My Heir Apparent, don't worry. I will inform the Prince immediately and have him send experts to Beihai Academy!" Manager Zhao said coldly. "If they refuse to hand over the person, they will definitely pay the price!"
