"It's all the Chen family's doing!" Lu Fan said coldly, "The Chen family head went to great lengths to deal with me, wanting to kill me!"
"It really is that old scoundrel!" Ling'er showed a cold smile, with a surge of imposing manner. At least in his eyes, the Chen family head's actions had thoroughly angered her.
"I'll go and get justice for you right now, and I'll definitely make them pay!"
Ling'er's voice was icy. She then summoned the guards of the mansion and prepared to head to the Chen family. With witnesses and evidence now present, Ling'er was not afraid of him reneging.
"Miss, please don't be rash!" Steward Wu advised, "This matter is no small thing. Emperor Xuan is not in the city. What if the Chen family head has rebellious intentions!"
"I can't manage that much! Besides, with my father backing me, how would he dare do such a thing!" Ling'er said coldly, with great dissatisfaction.
The Chen family head had almost caused Lu Fan's death, which was unacceptable to her, as Lu Fan was exceptionally important in her eyes.
"I think we should just let it go!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, "Dealing with him is not that easy. More importantly, this matter is no small thing. If there's even a slight mishap, it will cause a stir!"
"Even so, I will make the Chen family pay!"
With a cold look in her eyes, Ling'er spoke again. She was the daughter of the dignified Emperor Xuan, and she felt extremely stifled now. This was a humiliation for her.
"Make the Chen family pay?"
Steward Wu frowned, "Miss, have you thought this through? This matter is of great importance, and once we make a move, we have no chance of winning!"
With these words, Ling'er froze in place. It was only now that she realized that all the honor she possessed was given to her by her father. Without her father, she would have no standing in the entire Emperor Xuan City.
Thinking of this, Ling'er felt a mix of emotions, filled with displeasure. It was a pity that the matter had reached this point, and she didn't know what to do.
"Listen to me, we'll endure this for now!" Lu Fan shrugged, "It won't be long before I make the Chen family pay!"
"You kid, don't mess around. The Chen family is not to be offended easily!"
Steward Wu warned, his eyes showing seriousness. He knew very well that if this matter was not handled properly, Lu Fan would be in mortal danger.
"I know Steward Wu is saying all this for my own good, but I always know what I'm doing, so Steward Wu doesn't need to worry too much!" Lu Fan smiled slightly, his words calm.
Steward Wu was somewhat helpless and didn't say anything more. Since Lu Fan had said so, he naturally didn't need to inquire further.
Meanwhile, within the Chen family courtyard, the Chen family head's face was ashen. He had just received news that Lu Fan had not only not died but had returned to the City Lord's Mansion. This was definitely not good news for him.
"Father, what do we do now?" Chen Jianbei asked, "That kid didn't die and returned to the City Lord's Mansion. Why don't we go now, capture that kid, and execute him on the spot!"
"Are you out of your mind?" the Chen family head said coldly, "That is the Emperor Xuan's Mansion. Although Emperor Xuan is not in the city, it is not someone we can offend!"
Facing these words, Chen Jianbei's face turned ashen. He had not expected things to turn out this way, which caught them off guard.
"Big brother, then what should we do?"
The second master of the Chen family asked, "If this matter is not handled well, it will likely pose a great crisis for our Chen family."
"I didn't expect that even after I personally took action, I still couldn't kill him. This is my responsibility!" the Chen family head said, "Let this kid live for a while longer. As long as he dares to leave Emperor Xuan City, I will make him truly understand what true strength is!"
"It seems that's all we can do!" the second master of the Chen family said with a wry smile, feeling helpless. At this point, this was all they could do.
For the next few days, Lu Fan stayed in the City Lord's Mansion, not taking a single step outside. He knew very well that the Chen family was coveting him and could make a move at any time. Although he was not afraid of a Half-Emperor now, he would still be at a slight disadvantage if he truly fought against a Half-Emperor expert, so he could only act this way.
During these days, Ling'er had been unhappy, wanting to find trouble with the Chen family but being repeatedly dissuaded by Steward Wu, which made her very displeased.
"Today, there is an incident in Emperor Xuan City that requires your assistance to handle!" Jian Yu said to Lu Fan, "Is it convenient for you to go out?"
"Of course, it's convenient. In the entire Emperor Xuan City, no one dares to touch me!" Lu Fan smiled, and his figure stepped out directly, appearing completely unconcerned.
At the same time, Ling'er also hurried to follow, "You're going out and you still need to bring me along. Otherwise, if someone tries to harm you, there will be no one to protect you!"
"Look at what you're saying. I don't need protection!" Lu Fan waved his hand, smiling, "Besides, this is Emperor Xuan City. Who has the guts to make a move within Emperor Xuan City!" Su Dan Novel Network
"That's true. This is Emperor Xuan City. If anyone dares to make a move in Emperor Xuan City, my father won't let him off."
Ling'er nodded slightly, instantly gaining confidence. At least in her opinion, that was indeed the case.
Arriving at the center of Emperor Xuan City, Lu Fan began to handle the matter. Jian Yu was also by his side, but at this moment, Zhao Feitian's figure suddenly appeared. Looking at Ling'er, he said joyfully, "Ling'er, I've been asking you out for a long time, but you were unwilling to come out. What wind blew you out here today!"
"I don't want to talk to you. Can you stay away from me!" Ling'er said coldly, with displeasure in her heart. In her opinion, all of this meant nothing to her.
Zhao Feitian looked wronged. He had wanted to get closer, but unexpectedly, Ling'er was so disgusted with him.
"Yo, isn't this Guard Lu? I heard a few days ago that you were missing, but I didn't expect you to be back now. You really have a lot of luck!"
A taunting voice sounded, and Chen Jianbei walked over, speaking without reservation, his gaze fixed on Lu Fan, carrying a certain imposing manner.
"Chen Jianbei, your courage is quite something!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "You still dare to come here and provoke me? Do you really think that your Chen family's Half-Emperor can control everything forever?"
"What do you mean by that?" Chen Jianbei said unhappily.
"What do I mean? Figure it out yourself!" Lu Fan said coldly, "It won't be long before the Chen family is also destroyed!"
