"You have something to say in your words!"
Liu Li chuckled, "You don't actually want him to stay, do you? To become your consort."
"Don't talk nonsense, I never said that!"
Shen Yehong's face flushed with embarrassment, and she secretly glanced at Lu Fan.
However, Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, without the slightest ripple, as if all of this was beneath his notice.
After strolling around the imperial palace, Lu Fan said, "It's about time, we should head back to the Immortal Abode! After all, it's getting late!"
"Don't rush off! I've already arranged a banquet. You can leave after dinner!"
Shen Yehong said earnestly, "After all, not everyone gets to taste a royal banquet."
"I think we'll pass," Lu Fan shook his head. "It's already so late, we should go back first!"
"I think so too!"
Bi Qing chimed in, "It's not good to stay in the palace for too long, lest it cause unnecessary trouble!"
"Alright, since you both say so, then so be it!"
Shen Yehong nodded, "It's a pity that you came to the palace but didn't get to eat anything. It truly shows my lack of hospitality."
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future!" Liu Li said, "So don't worry!"
Shen Yehong nodded slightly and said nothing more.
As soon as they left the imperial palace, Bi Qing looked at Lu Fan and said, "This matter is not simple. You must be careful. Offending a royal prince might cause unnecessary trouble."
"I know!"
Lu Fan nodded, "Unfortunately, it's already done. This is not something I can control, so we can only let it run its course."
"What do you think of the First Prince and the Second Prince?" Bi Qing asked.
"What do they think of me has nothing to do with me."
Lu Fan smiled, "The Second Prince merely wants to use us to help him seize the throne. As for the First Prince, he is no good either."
"So you think so too!"
Liu Li chuckled awkwardly, "Actually, that's what I thought as well. No matter who this dynasty falls into the hands of, it won't be a good thing."
"These are not matters for us to consider!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, "Our main purpose in coming to the imperial city this time is to kill Gu Yuntong, not to get involved in royal disputes. It would be too unreasonable to get involved inexplicably."
"I agree with that!"
Bi Qing nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on her face.
After leaving the imperial palace, they returned to the Immortal Abode. The entire imperial city was brightly lit, like a city that never sleeps. After entering their rooms, they each began to meditate.
And in the darkness, Gu Hai, dressed in black, exuded a faint killing intent. To gain the trust of the First Prince, he would not show any mercy.
Lu Fan had offended the First Prince and would surely be punished. These black-clothed experts were all elites of the Gu family. Tonight, they would make Lu Fan understand their might.
"Young Master, those who can find the Immortal Abode are not ordinary people."
A man said, "We are acting so rashly. Should we report to the family head? That way, if any incident occurs, it can be dealt with immediately."
"What, as the young master of the Gu family, do I not have the authority to mobilize you?"
Gu Hai's eyes showed dissatisfaction, and he questioned the man, looking at him.
"Your subordinate dares not!"
The man quickly knelt down, his eyes filled with fear. He naturally did not expect Gu Hai to speak like that, which made him tremble.
"It's good that you dare not!"
Gu Hai showed a fierce expression but said no more.
The assassination of Lu Fan tonight was a top-secret matter. He naturally did not want to be too exposed, lest it cause unnecessary trouble.
Not long after, their figures arrived at the Immortal Abode. The entire Immortal Abode was extremely quiet, and there were no figures inside at this moment.
They already knew Lu Fan's room, so they rushed in directly. Several black-clothed men were impolite and stabbed several times at Lu Fan's bed. However, they never expected that Lu Fan would not be in the room.
"Young Master, why isn't this kid in his room in the middle of the night?" a black-clothed man said, "Could it be that he knew we were coming for him and has already fled?"
"It shouldn't be that coincidental!" Gu Hai shook his head, "Search more carefully. This kid must die, otherwise how can I explain to the First Prince!"
The black-clothed men nodded slightly, not daring to be negligent, and rushed into various rooms, wanting to find Lu Fan's whereabouts. Sudan Novel Network
"You don't need to look anymore, I'm right here!"
Outside the Immortal Abode, Lu Fan's voice sounded, his expression even more indifferent. "I really didn't expect the First Prince to send people to kill me."
"You brat, you have quite the nerve. Knowing that we are here to kill you, you still dare to be so calm."
Gu Hai sneered, "You are the first to dare to offend the First Prince!"
"With just a few of you, it's unlikely you can kill me."
Lu Fan shook his head, "I advise you not to make a move, lest you bring trouble upon yourselves!"
"What a joke. Since we have already made a move, why would we retreat?"
Gu Hai said coldly, "You have offended the First Prince. Even if you don't die by our hands today, you will never be able to live. It's better to surrender obediently and avoid unnecessary trouble."
"Truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Lu Fan shook his head, narrowing his eyes. In his eyes, Gu Hai was merely a Venerable. He could kill him whenever he wished. As for the black-clothed men brought by Gu Hai, they posed no threat to Lu Fan.
Even if a Half-Saint expert were sent, Lu Fan could kill him, let alone a group of Venerables, who were not worth mentioning.
"What are you waiting for?"
Gu Hai's expression was indifferent, and he looked at the black-clothed men. The black-clothed men moved without wind and kicked towards Lu Fan, carrying a strong gust of wind. Lu Fan, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and having offended the current prince, could not be allowed to live.
In an instant, more than ten black-clothed figures surged forward, charging towards Lu Fan with unparalleled momentum.
Sensing the impact, Lu Fan's aura surged, and he stomped on the ground, releasing a terrifying aura.
In the blink of an eye, the black-clothed men fell to the ground. Even powerful Venerables seemed useless under Lu Fan's aura.
"How is this possible!"
Gu Hai stood frozen, his face changing. He never expected Lu Fan's strength to be so formidable, capable of killing more than ten Venerables in an instant. What kind of strength was this that could reach such a state, it was simply inconceivable.
