Chapter 533: Resolving the Crisis

Two figures approached slowly. When they saw Xiao Yufan, who looked like a blood-soaked figure, their faces twitched slightly. This old man was indeed a ruthless one!

“I don’t know what the two of you intend, but this is a personal feud between my family and this young man. 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 placed anyone above themselves, not even members of other hidden clans.

“You’re being too audacious! On what grounds?”

Guo Junyu’s expression darkened. Just when he was about to clear 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 won’t dare to retaliate. Do you believe that?”

A sharp killing intent flashed past. The Huangpu family never needed a reason to act, and this man was someone the Huangpu family wanted—how could anyone else dare to touch him?

In truth, the two elders had been secretly observing Xiao Yufan all along. However, their duty wasn’t necessarily to protect him. But after witnessing Xiao Yufan’s earlier performance, they had been deeply impressed by this man whom their young mistress admired.

Who could have imagined that a person at the Ning Qi stage could endure so long against an opponent at the peak of the Ning Jing stage, even though this old man had not yet unleashed his full strength.

Feeling the chilling killing intent, Guo Junyu instinctively shrank back. From Old Mo’s expression, he could tell that these two newcomers were extremely powerful—powerful enough 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 defiance instantly crumbled. No matter how arrogant he was, he couldn’t possibly think himself capable of standing up to the Huangpu family.

“Since this man is someone the Huangpu family wants, naturally we won’t kill him. But I’d like to know—what is the relationship between him and the Huangpu family!”

Old Mo believed that these two would definitely dare to act. Moreover, the hidden Guo family wouldn’t dare retaliate against the Huangpu family over this matter.

“That’s none of your concern. All you need to know is that this man is untouchable to you!”

The two elders had no intention of answering the old man’s question—they themselves didn’t know the exact connection between Xiao Yufan and the Huangpu family. However, one thing was certain: this man’s fate would end in one of two ways. Either he would gain the Huangpu family’s recognition, or he would remain with them permanently—dead or alive.

“Hehe, naturally!”

Old Mo’s eyes flickered with thoughts. If Xiao Yufan was indeed closely connected to the hidden Huangpu family, then the hidden Guo family had truly met its match this time. One Situ Lingyu was already a sufficient deterrent, let alone adding another Huangpu family member into the equation.

“Master, let’s go!” Old Mo knew Guo Junyu wasn’t willing to give up so easily, but under the current circumstances, starting a fight would be extremely unwise.

His eyes flashing with a trace of coldness, Guo Junyu remained silent and merely nodded. He wasn’t someone whose mind was clouded by hatred—he understood that if he acted recklessly, even Old Mo wouldn’t be able to protect him.

“This fellow isn’t completely foolish after all!”

Observing the retreating figures of the two, the black-robed elder snorted coldly. He had actually hoped Guo Junyu would lose control and attack, giving them a perfect excuse to eliminate both of them without any complaints from the hidden Guo family.

“Let’s go. If we delay any longer, this young man will truly be beyond salvation…”

Glancing back at Xiao Yufan, the other elder spoke in a calm tone, his voice unusually carrying a hint of emotion. After exchanging a glance, the two elders lifted Xiao Yufan between them. At this moment, Lin Jiayao had already fainted…
