Two figures slowly approached. When they saw Xiao Yufan, who was covered in blood, their faces twitched slightly. This old man was indeed a ruthless one!
“We don’t know your intentions, but this feud between your family and this young man has nothing to do with you. Why are you interfering?”
“I don’t care about your feud. All I know is that he cannot die…”
One of the black-robed elders glanced at Guo Junyu coldly. This was the arrogance of the hidden Huangpu family—they never regarded anyone else highly, not even members of other hidden families.
“You’re going too far! On what grounds do you stop us?”
Guo Junyu’s expression darkened. Just when he was about to erase all his humiliation, he was stopped by two people—he couldn’t help but be furious.
“On the grounds that even if we kill you, the hidden Guo family won’t dare to retaliate. Do you believe that?”
A sharp killing intent flashed past. The Huangpu family never needed a reason to act. Moreover, this man was someone the Huangpu family wanted; how could anyone else dare to touch him?
In truth, the two had been secretly observing Xiao Yufan all along. However, their duty wasn’t necessarily to protect this man. Yet, after witnessing Xiao Yufan’s earlier performance, they had been deeply impressed by the man whom their young mistress admired.
Two figures slowly approached, and when they saw Xiao Yufan, who looked like a bloodied man, their faces twitched violently. This old scoundrel was truly ruthless!
“I don’t know what you two are up to, but this is a personal grudge between the hidden Guo family and this kid. Why are you interfering?”
“I don’t care about your grudges. In any case, he cannot die…”
One of the black-robed elders glanced at Guo Junyu and spoke coldly. This was the arrogance of the hidden Huangpu family—they never took anyone seriously, not even members of other hidden families.
“You’re too arrogant! On what grounds?”
Guo Junyu’s expression darkened. Just when he thought he could finally wash away all his humiliation, these two had intervened. How could he not be furious?
“On the grounds that even if we kill you, the hidden Guo family wouldn’t dare to retaliate. Do you believe that?”
A sharp killing intent flashed briefly. When the Huangpu family acted, they never needed a reason. Moreover, this man was someone the Huangpu family wanted—no one else could touch him.
In truth, the two had been secretly observing Xiao Yufan all along. Their duty wasn’t to protect him, but after witnessing his earlier performance, they were impressed by this man whom their young lady admired.
Who could have imagined that someone at the Qi Condensation stage could hold out for so long against a peak Qi Refinement expert, even though the old scoundrel hadn’t used his full strength.
Feeling the icy killing intent, Guo Junyu instinctively shrank back. From Elder Mo’s expression, he could tell that these two newcomers were incredibly strong—so strong that even someone of Elder Mo’s caliber couldn’t handle them.
Moreover, the image of the colossal hidden Huangpu family surfaced in Guo Junyu’s mind, and he immediately wilted. No matter how arrogant he was, he couldn’t possibly believe he had the right to act insolently in front of the Huangpu family.
“Since this is someone the Huangpu family wants, we naturally won’t kill him. But I’d like to know, what is the relationship between the Huangpu family and him?”
Elder Mo believed that these two would indeed dare to act, and the hidden Guo family would never dare to challenge the hidden Huangpu family over them.
“That’s none of your concern. All you need to know is that this man is untouchable by you.”
The two had no intention of answering the old scoundrel’s question. They themselves didn’t know the connection between Xiao Yufan and the Huangpu family, but one thing was certain: this man’s fate lay in one of two outcomes—either he would gain the Huangpu family’s approval, or he would remain with them permanently.
“Haha, of course.”
Elder Mo’s eyes flickered with thought. If Xiao Yufan truly had close ties with the hidden Huangpu family, then the hidden Guo family had indeed kicked a steel plate this time. Just Si Lingyu alone was enough to be a formidable deterrent, let alone adding the Huangpu family into the mix.
“Young master, let’s go.” Elder Mo knew Guo Junyu didn’t want to let this go, but under these circumstances, taking action would be unwise.
A hint of coldness flickered in Guo Junyu’s eyes, but he remained silent, merely nodding. He wasn’t someone blinded by hatred. He knew that if he acted, even Elder Mo couldn’t protect him.
“This guy isn’t a complete fool.”
The black-robed elder watched the two depart and couldn’t help but snort coldly. He had hoped Guo Junyu would lose his temper and act, giving them a solid reason to kill both of them. The hidden Guo family wouldn’t dare to complain.
“Let’s go. If we delay any longer, this kid might really be beyond saving…”
The other elder glanced back at Xiao Yufan and spoke, his usually calm voice carrying a rare hint of urgency. After exchanging a look, the two hoisted Xiao Yufan up. By now, Lin Jiayao had already fainted…
Feeling the chilling killing intent, Guo Junyu instinctively recoiled. From Old Mo’s expression, he could tell that these two newcomers were extremely powerful—so powerful that even someone of Old Mo’s caliber couldn’t handle them.
In Guo Junyu’s mind, the colossal presence of the hidden Huangpu family surfaced, and his confidence immediately waned. No matter how arrogant he was, he couldn’t possibly think himself capable of standing up to the Huangpu family.
“Since this is a person the Huangpu family wants, naturally we won’t kill him. But I’d like to know—what is the relationship between the Huangpu family and him?”
Old Mo believed that these two men would definitely dare to act. Moreover, the hidden Guo family wouldn’t dare retaliate against them because of this…
“That’s none of your concern. All you need to know is that you can’t touch this man!”
The two had no intention of answering the old man’s question—they themselves didn’t know the connection between Xiao Yufan and the Huangpu family. But one thing was certain: this man’s fate would end in only two ways. Either he would gain the Huangpu family’s recognition, or he would remain with them forever.
“Hehe, naturally!”
Old Mo’s eyes flickered with thought. If Xiao Yufan indeed had close ties with the hidden Huangpu family, then the hidden Guo family had truly run into a solid obstacle. One Situ Lingyu alone was enough to be intimidating, let alone adding another Huangpu family member to the mix.
“Master, let’s go!” Old Mo knew Guo Junyu wasn’t willing to let this go, but under the current circumstances, starting a fight would be extremely unwise.
His eyes flashing with a hint of coldness, Guo Junyu didn’t speak but merely nodded. He wasn’t someone who would lose his head to hatred. He understood that if he did attack, even Old Mo wouldn’t be able to protect him.
“This fellow isn’t completely foolish!”
The black-robed elder coldly snorted as he watched the two leave. Actually, he had hoped Guo Junyu would be unable to control himself and attack. Then they would have every reason to kill both of them, and the hidden Guo family wouldn’t dare to utter a single complaint.
“Let’s go. If we delay any longer, this young man will really be beyond saving…”
Glancing back at Xiao Yufan, the other elder spoke. His calm, unemotional tone unusually carried a hint of concern. After exchanging a glance, the two elders lifted the unconscious Xiao Yufan between them. At this moment, Lin Jiayao had already fainted…
