"Steward Wu, let's stop here today!"
Steward Wu spoke, his expression more serious. Although he was surprised by Lu Fan's strength, he knew very well that if they continued, Lu Fan would be the one to suffer.
The Chen family, one of the three great families of Xuandi City, was not as easy to bully as they appeared.
After all, the Chen family had a Half-Emperor expert. Such a powerful existence could not be compensated for by a Great Sage level expert.
If they were not careful, they might be doomed.
"Steward Wu, do you think this matter can just be let go?"
Chen Jianyi's voice was cold, and he looked at Steward Chen with anger.
As the second master of the Chen family, being bullied like this in Xuandi City, if word got out, what would their Chen family's reputation be?
"Second Master Chen, why must you do this!"
Steward Wu smiled wryly and quickly looked at Lu Fan, "Kid, why don't you apologize quickly? Do you want to live? You dare to touch the Second Master Chen!"
"Second Master Chen, I was reckless just now. I hope you won't hold it against me!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists slightly and smiled, as if all of this was not worth mentioning in his eyes.
"Hmph!"
Chen Yijian snorted coldly and turned to leave. He knew very well that with his current strength, it was not enough to regain his face here today.
Watching Chen Yijian leave, Steward Wu frowned, not knowing what to say. If his guess was correct, Chen Yijian was preparing to inform the Chen family head about this matter, and by then, Lu Fan would be in trouble.
"How about it? Are you planning to stay in the dungeon, or leave like your second uncle?"
Lu Fan looked at Chen Jianbei, his words carrying a hint of provocation.
"You kid are courting death, yet you still dare to be so arrogant!"
Chen Jianbei said coldly, "If you had offended me, it would have been fine, but you actually offended my second uncle. You kid are really tired of living!"
Facing these words, Lu Fan remained very calm, not taking them to heart at all. Or rather, in his opinion, even if the Chen family head himself came, he would not be afraid.
After leaving the dungeon, Steward Wu looked at Lu Fan, "You kid are truly audacious. Do you know what the consequences of offending the Chen family are?"
"I know, of course!"
Lu Fan shrugged and said, "But don't worry, Steward Wu. This is my business. If the Chen family really wants to cause trouble, I will not blame the City Lord's Mansion!"
"I didn't expect you to be so righteous!"
Steward Wu smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll make an exception for you this time. Leave Xuandi City as soon as possible, and you won't have to worry about the Chen family's trouble!"
"Steward Wu, according to the regulations for ascenders, they are not allowed to leave the city for three years!"
Lei Batian spoke, "Wouldn't this violate the city rules!"
"What, do you want to watch him die?"
Steward Wu said directly, "You should know what the consequences of offending a Half-Emperor in Xuandi City are!"
Lei Batian was stunned for a moment and immediately fell silent. He naturally knew that Steward Wu was doing this for Lu Fan.
If not, Lu Fan would surely die, unless Xuandi himself intervened.
Lu Fan was just an ascender, and Xuandi naturally would not offend a Half-Emperor for Lu Fan.
"I'm not leaving!"
Lu Fan said solemnly, "If I leave, the Chen family will trouble you!"
"I am the steward of the City Lord's Mansion. Who in Xuandi City dares to trouble me!" Steward Wu said, "You kid should worry about yourself! Offending a Half-Emperor is something that ascenders cannot bear in this Heavenly Realm."
"Steward Wu has said so, what are you still waiting for, kid!" Lei Batian said, "If you don't leave now, the Chen family will be here. By then, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
"Let's go, leave Xuandi City quickly!" Jian Yu said, "At least this way you can save your life!"
Lu Fan also hesitated. He knew very well that even with his excellent talent, even if he had reached the Great Sage realm, he was still not qualified to contend with a Half-Emperor. Therefore, the only thing he could do now was to leave as soon as possible, so that he would not be so apprehensive.
Just as Lu Fan was hesitating, outside Xuandi City, the Chen family had already surrounded the entire city. The Chen family head, along with many Chen family experts, had surrounded the City Lord's Mansion tightly, looking quite imposing.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Steward Wu quickly stepped outside. He saw that outside the City Lord's Mansion, the Chen family head stood tall, with Chen Jianyi following closely behind, his eyes looking particularly arrogant.
"So it's the Chen family head!" Steward Wu quickly cupped his fists, looking very flattering, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
"Steward Wu, you should know that our Chen family is not someone that anyone can provoke!"
The Chen family head narrowed his eyes, "Are you sure you want to stand against my entire Chen family for an ascender?"
"Family Head Chen, you jest. I am just a steward of the City Lord's Mansion, how dare I stand against the Chen family!" Steward Wu quickly shook his head, "However, there seems to be a misunderstanding. I hope Family Head Chen will not take it too seriously. I will bring out the young master now!"
"No need. If he wanted to come out, he would have come out long ago. Wasn't that kid very powerful just now?" Chen Jianyi said coldly, "Let him come out! I'd like to see if he's still so arrogant now!" Su Dan Novel Network
Steward Wu's expression changed, and Lei Batian also frowned. It seemed that the Chen family did not intend to let Lu Fan go, and their words were very sharp. In this case, it would probably be a disaster for Lu Fan.
"He's just an ascender. Do you, Steward Wu, want to offend my Chen family for him?" The Chen family head spoke again, his tone becoming unfriendly. If it weren't for his fear of Xuandi, he would have attacked directly. Within the entire city, no one dared to oppose their Chen family.
"Family Head Chen, although that person is just an ascender, he is also a member of our City Lord's Mansion. If anything really happens, it will be difficult for me to explain to Xuandi!" Steward Wu said directly, "You should know that Xuandi is out traveling and will be back soon. When he returns, if he knows that the Chen family has brought so many people to surround the City Lord's Mansion tightly, it will probably not be acceptable!"
"Are you threatening me?" The Chen family head narrowed his eyes and looked at Steward Wu again, but this time with a hint of sharpness. Steward Wu's words clearly showed that he did not put him in his eyes.
"I am just telling the truth. I hope Family Head Chen will not blame me!" Steward Wu cupped his fists and said, "After all, if Xuandi finds out about this, it will be difficult for everyone!"
The Chen family head sneered, "In other words, you are determined to protect that kid?"
"I dare not!"
Steward Wu cupped his fists and said, "If Family Head Chen really wants to deal with him, I can let you enter the City Lord's Mansion. However, after Xuandi returns, I will personally report this matter and explain the situation!"
