In the midst of astonished and doubtful exclamations from the crowd, a figure abruptly appeared before many powerful experts. Although his frame wasn’t particularly broad or imposing, to the Dark Gate members, he seemed like a towering mountain piercing the sky…
The newcomer was none other than Xiao Yufan, who had rushed over upon hearing the news. Behind him stood Huangpu Xian’er, dressed in a green robe, her long hair flowing like a waterfall.
“Master, honey!”
Xiao Dao, Tianxuan, and others could no longer suppress their nearly collapsing emotions. Their voices trembled slightly…
Especially Tianxuan and Dongfang Yanran, their delicate figures quivered at this moment. When this man appeared before them once again, they no longer desired anything else. They simply wished for him to be safe and well.
Nodding slightly, a warm current surged in Xiao Yufan’s heart. He still had so many brothers and women who loved him. If he had truly died in that hidden Guo family’s old dog’s hands, perhaps he would never again feel this warmth.
“Who are you, sir? This is a feud between the Luan family and the Dark Gate. You…”
“How annoying. An old dog who doesn’t know how to stay home and enjoy his retirement dares to come out here lecturing the young generation. All these years, did you really live like a dog?”
Before the old Luan patriarch could finish speaking, Xiao Yufan’s icy voice had already spread out. How could he not know about the relationship between the Yuan Gang and the Luan family? Yet they hadn’t expected that when the Yuan Gang was in trouble, the Luan family would actually step forward. It seemed the Yuan Gang was indeed extremely important to the Luan family.
“Young brat, not everyone can act arrogantly. Some matters are beyond your ability to handle…”
One of the more hotheaded members of the Luan family immediately flew into a rage upon hearing Xiao Yufan’s words. Ignoring the old patriarch Luan’s subtle warning glance, he rushed out directly. However, in the next instant, this person, whose cultivation had reached the凝气 stage, steadily collapsed to the ground, while Xiao Yufan hadn’t even moved.
Naturally, it was Huangpu Xian’er who had acted. She would never allow anyone to show disrespect to her man, not even these old bastards!
Hissing…
Gasps of shock echoed continuously. Everyone’s expressions changed, even Nangong Qianliu’s. One strike incapacitating a martial artist at the Qi凝聚 stage—just how terrifying must this woman’s strength be?
If previously Nangong Qianliu had taken Tianyi by surprise and knocked him down, that might have been understandable. But now, under the full attack of a凝气 stage expert, Huangpu Xian’er had achieved the same feat. This sufficiently proved her strength was at least equal to, if not surpassing, Nangong Qianliu’s…
(Note: “凝气 stage” seems to refer to a specific cultivation stage in a novel or story context. If you want a more polished or contextually adapted translation, please provide further details or context.)

If Nangong Qianliu had previously caught Tianyi off guard and knocked him down, that might have been understandable. But now, under the full assault of an expert at the凝气 stage, Huangpu Xian’er had accomplished the same feat. This clearly demonstrated that her strength was at the very least on par with, if not even greater than, Nangong Qianliu’s…
(Note: If you would like “凝气 stage” to be translated into something like “Ningqi stage” as a transliterated term, or fully translated as “Breath-Condensing stage” or similar, please let me know for further refinement.)
“If I’m not mistaken, you should be the Dark Gate’s young master hiding in the shadows. You’re much younger than I imagined!”
Nangong Qianliu’s expression darkened, especially after hearing Dongfang Yanran and Tianxuan addressing Xiao Yufan so intimately. He had already regarded this man before him as an enemy—an extremely formidable one.
Hearing these words, the Luan family patriarch’s heart skipped a beat. The so-called young master who could cultivate so many experts within the Dark Gate—how simple could he possibly be? Of course, the most terrifying wasn’t necessarily this man, but also that woman who seemed like a celestial fairy.
“Xiao Dao, I’m very satisfied with the Dark Gate. It seems you truly possess the potential of a dominant figure. But remember, strength is ultimately the most crucial thing. If you had sufficient strength today, perhaps the situation would be entirely different!”
Ignoring Nangong Qianliu, Xiao Yufan’s lips curled into a disdainful smile. Perhaps the凝劲 stage might have posed a threat to him a month ago, but now such strength couldn’t pose any threat to him whatsoever.
“Master, I understand. One day, my strength will reach an even higher level, and then I will crush everyone who has ever threatened me beneath my feet!”
Nie Xiaodao’s lips trembled violently as he fixed Nangong Qianliu with a sinister glare. Under this menacing gaze, Nangong Qianliu actually felt a chill race down his spine. He had been overawed by the气势 of nothing more than a凝气 stage expert!
“I believe you have that potential!” Nodding approvingly, Xiao Yufan’s cold smile softened slightly. He knew Nangong Qianliu was quite upset now, but so what? Having strength allowed one to be this arrogant!
“Yanran, Xuan’er, you’ve suffered so much…”
His gaze gently shifting to the tear-streaked faces of the two women, the softest part of Xiao Yufan’s heart was deeply stirred. A beauty capable of toppling a city, who reveals her charm solely for the one she loves.
“As long as you, honey, haven’t left us, we’re willing to endure any hardship. Do you know how worried we’ve been about you!”
Crying, she threw herself into Xiao Yufan’s arms. Tianxuan’s demeanor appeared so delicate and touching. Only before Xiao Yufan would she shed her queenly veil, willingly becoming his tender woman. When she learned of Xiao Yufan’s accident, how she wished to follow him.
But Dongfang Yanran’s subsequent news reignited the burning hope in her heart. As long as this man was safe, she still had someone to care for, still had hope…
“I know. I promise, this will be the last time!”
Inhaling Tianxuan’s faint, delicate fragrance, Xiao Yufan’s eyes gained additional determination. She was his woman. From now on, he would not allow anyone to harm his women, nor would he let them worry again.
His anger toward that old dog from the hidden Guo family intensified further. If he didn’t kill him, how could he atone for the bitterness and pain he and Tianxuan and the others had endured? No matter what, that old dog from the hidden Guo family and Guo Junyu must die…
Watching the two quietly leaning together, Dongfang Yanran’s beautiful eyes revealed a gentle smile. How could her excitement at Xiao Yufan’s return be any less than Tianxuan’s?
“Alright, Sister Tianxuan. If you want to be affectionate, let’s go home first. For now, let’s deal with the current trouble. I think the Tian Group and the Assassin Alliance’s elites have probably already taken care of the Yuan Gang by now!”
Two minutes later, seeing that the two still hadn’t loosened their embrace, Dongfang Yanran smiled and said. How she wished to snuggle in Xiao Yufan’s arms like a young girl too, but with the Assassin Alliance’s experts present, she had to maintain sufficient dignity.
“That’s right. There’s still an idiot waiting for me to deal with. After finishing this, we can go home and continue…”
The flirtatious expression in his eyebrows caused a slight blush to rise on Tianxuan’s face. She understood exactly what her husband meant by “continuing at home.” After all, she was still a shy young girl at heart.
Once again called an idiot by Xiao Yufan, Nangong Qianliu’s fury had accumulated to the extreme. Especially with Xiao Yufan’s deliberate ignoring of him and the loving gazes from Tianxuan and Dongfang Yanran toward this man, he could no longer contain his murderous intent.
Before anyone could react, he had already launched his attack. The momentum of the凝劲 stage was somewhat terrifying, causing many experts from the Dark Gate to cry out in alarm…
