To offend the talented disciples in the big sects is to bring disaster to your family. Once these disciples come back to the sect, if they mention it to the elders, even if they don't care, the sect will have to clean up the mess for the sake of face. After all, the dignity of the big sect cannot be violated, and any insult to the disciples will be regarded as a challenge to the entire sect.
Sometimes people accidentally offend disciples of the sect, but most of them are handled quietly and nothing serious happens. After all, no one wants to offend a big sect because of a small matter. But this time, the people we encountered are not easy to deal with. The power behind these people is huge. Once they get angry, we may be destroyed by them. Thinking of this, the elders of the Wei family couldn't help but feel nervous and looked solemn.
"Could it be that Elder Lin accidentally offended them? If that senior was really that powerful, why didn't he investigate before?" an elder asked doubtfully. He really couldn't figure out why these powerful people suddenly appeared in Beikang City, and why they targeted the Wei family.
The most important thing for a strong person is face. He was humiliated before, and although he humiliated back in the end, if he really didn't care at all, why did he waste so many people? Judging from their behavior, they are definitely ruthless. Their eyes reveal an unquestionable majesty and coldness, as if they can destroy everything at any time. But the strange thing is, why don't such a ruthless person come directly to the door, but live in the mansion? It's really hard to understand.
Elder Lin sat aside, head down, as if thinking about something. His eyes revealed a complex emotion, both worried and helpless. He knew that this matter would probably be difficult to resolve peacefully.
"Mr. Lin, why don't you tell us the truth?" an elder couldn't help but ask. He really couldn't understand why Mr. Lin remained silent, as if he had some unspeakable secret.
Elder Lin raised his head, his eyelids slightly raised, and said calmly: "Those who believe me, prepare a generous gift, and I will take the young lady to apologize in person; those who don't believe me, no matter how much I say, it will be useless." Although his voice was calm, it revealed an unquestionable firmness. He knew that the only way out now was to apologize and seek peace, otherwise the Wei family would face a catastrophe.
When these words came out, the elders were stunned, and even Wei Zhanguo frowned. He didn't expect Elder Lin to say such a thing, and he didn't expect him to insist on an apology so firmly.
"I've lived for hundreds of years, how would I know how to apologize? If this gets out, where will the Wei family's thousand-year-old reputation be?" Wei Zhanguo was so angry that he slammed the table and shouted. He really couldn't accept such a proposal. After all, the Wei family was also one of the big families in Beikang City. How could they easily bow to others?
Elder Lin said nothing and lowered his head again, thinking about how to get out of this situation. Since the other party was unwilling to apologize, this matter must not be over. Thinking of the possible consequences, Elder Lin lowered his head even more. He knew that this matter would probably be difficult to resolve peacefully, and the Wei family would face an unprecedented crisis.
The elders were provoked by Wei Zhanguo and all agreed that apologizing would cost too much resources. Who would be willing to do it? They all thought that Elder Lin's suggestion was too absurd and was simply an insult to the dignity of the Wei family.
But two of the elders did not express their opinions. They looked at Elder Lin from time to time. They knew Elder Lin's temperament and knew that he had repeatedly stopped the other party from becoming an enemy. They thought that his words might be true. They secretly wondered in their hearts whether they should follow Elder Lin's advice. After all, he had always kept a clear mind on this matter.
Finally, Wei Zhenran and Zhan Guo decided to gather their forces and launch a surprise attack at night. They felt that only in this way could they restore the dignity of the Wei family and let the talented disciples of the big sects know that Beikang City was not a place where they could run wild at will.
In an exquisite courtyard in the east of Beikang City, several people were sitting around discussing today's events. The courtyard was elegantly decorated with exotic flowers and plants, and the breeze brought bursts of fragrance. The moonlight fell in the courtyard, adding a bit of mystery to this quiet night.
"Have their identities been verified?" asked a dignified middle-aged man. His voice was deep and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty.
"We checked, but found nothing. It seems that they suddenly appeared in Sunset Mountains." One of the men answered. There was a bit of doubt and uneasiness in his voice, and he was obviously confused about the identity of these people.
"His words and actions don't seem like those of a genius disciple from a major sect. Could he be from one of those wild places in the Four Regions?" another subordinate guessed. There was a hint of contempt and disdain in his voice, and it was obvious that he didn't think highly of the people in the Four Regions.
The people of the Central Region always looked down on the people of the Four Regions, thinking that they were barbaric and backward, and did not take them seriously. Most of them only treated them as guards and servants, and never looked at them in the eye.
"But there are no ships docking recently." Another subordinate asked. There was a bit of confusion and puzzlement in his voice, and he was obviously very surprised by the appearance of these people.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and no one thought about the spaceship. Spaceships were too expensive, and people from the four regions would not be willing to use them frequently, let alone sail for a month to the Central Region. They really couldn't figure out how these people came to Beikang City.
"Since they are not from the Four Regions, their identities are even more suspicious. Those who can make the City Lord's Mansion suffer a loss must be extraordinary..." one of the subordinates analyzed. There was a bit of vigilance and uneasiness in his voice, and he was obviously very worried about the identities and strength of these people.
"Can the City Lord's Mansion really swallow this? If they can really tolerate it, how can they survive in the Central Region?" another subordinate questioned. There was a bit of dissatisfaction and anger in his voice, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with the weakness of the City Lord's Mansion.
"So they must have a trick up their sleeve..." one of the men guessed. His voice was filled with certainty and anticipation, and he was obviously waiting for the City Lord's Mansion's next move.
"Let's just wait and see. There will be news tomorrow. Also, keep a close eye on the movements in the City Lord's Mansion." One of his men suggested. His voice was calm and composed, and he clearly had a clear judgment of the current situation.
"The City Lord's Mansion is in trouble this time, and other forces in the city may take advantage of the opportunity to make a move." Another subordinate analyzed. There was a bit of worry and vigilance in his voice, and it was obvious that he was very concerned about other forces in the city.
"Don't daydream. Although the City Lord's Mansion is empty, their position is still stable with that person here." One of his men interrupted him. There was a bit of awe and fear in his voice, and it was obvious that he valued Wei Zhanguo's strength and prestige very much.
Everyone was silent for a moment, fearing Wei Zhanguo's majesty. They knew that Wei Zhanguo was one of the overlords of Beikang City and his strength was unfathomable. Even if the City Lord's Mansion encountered such a crisis, as long as he was there, the position of the City Lord's Mansion would remain as stable as before.
"Do they dare to attack that man?" one of the men asked in a low voice. His voice was trembling and uneasy, and he was obviously very afraid of Wei Zhan Guo's strength and majesty.
"Don't mention it. The daughter of the Wei family has won the favor of the elders of Qiuyue Sect. The Wei family is now as stable as Mount Tai." Another subordinate replied. There was a bit of envy and jealousy in his voice, and he was obviously very envious of the status and strength of the Wei family.
……
The major families in the city were talking about it, and they were all curious about the identities of Lu Xuanxin and others, and they were all waiting to see the show. They knew that this crisis was not only a test for the City Lord's Mansion, but also a reshuffle of the entire Beikang City.
Those families that are close to the City Lord's Mansion are worried that their interests will be damaged. They know that once the City Lord's Mansion falls, their status will also be in jeopardy. Therefore, they are paying close attention to the development of the situation and are ready to deal with any possible changes at any time.
What about Lu Xuanxin at this time? He didn't know that what happened during the day had caused an uproar in the city. Even if he knew, he didn't care. At this moment, he was leaning on Zi Huang's arms, pretending to sleep on the bed. In fact, he was not asleep at all, but just pretending to be asleep. He wanted the old guys in the City Lord's Mansion to relax their vigilance so that they could better deal with possible crises.
He didn't believe that those overlords could hold back their anger, they would definitely take action. Since there was no poison in the lunch, it meant that they had other plans. Lu Xuan was thinking in his heart, ready to deal with any possible changes at any time. He knew that this crisis was not only a test for the City Lord's Mansion, but also a test for outsiders like them. Only by successfully dealing with this crisis could they gain a foothold in the Central Region and embark on a new journey.
When he first started living with Zi Huang, Lu Xuanxin was repulsive. He felt that as a time traveler, he should maintain his independence and self-esteem. But Zi Huang's entanglement skills were too strong, and he attracted Lu Xuanxin like a magnet and he couldn't resist. In addition, he was accustomed to cohabitation before marriage after traveling through time, and he still had a defense line in his heart that he hadn't completely let go, so he didn't hold on for long before he compromised.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, it was the time when defenses were most relaxed. Several men in black quietly appeared outside the courtyard where Lu Xuanxin and others lived. They were as agile as swallows and approached the courtyard wall silently. Then they poured grease and lit the fire, and in an instant the fire surrounded the entire courtyard. The fire spread rapidly, enveloping the entire courtyard in a sea of fire.
"Hmph! A bunch of ignorant guys, dare to act wildly here!" A figure stood quietly not far away. It was Wei Zhanguo. He and Wei Zhenran watched all this with cold eyes, and a sneer appeared on their lips. They knew that this fire attack was only part of their plan. Next, they had more exciting dramas to perform!
However, among the elders, three people were missing, namely, the two elders with whom Old Man Lin had a good relationship. The three of them used illness as an excuse to not attend the meeting. Instead, they sneaked out of the City Lord's Mansion while everyone was not paying attention and ran out of the city. The night was as dark as ink, and the moonlight was sparse. Their figures were elongated in the dim moonlight, appearing both sneaky and hurried.
Old Man Lin was thinking that after tonight, the Beikang City Lord's Mansion would have a new owner. Staying here would not only be of no help, but might also bring disaster upon himself. "Let the shame of the City Lord's Mansion disappear along with this fire. If the sect asks for punishment, just say it was a natural disaster." He thought to himself, with a sneer on his lips, his eyes flashing with determination and ruthlessness.
"Tomorrow, we will scare the other families and make sure they don't underestimate our City Lord's Mansion." The elders discussed at once, as if they had already seen the scene of the fire devouring everything. Their faces were filled with pride and ferocity, as if this disaster was a feast they had carefully planned.
In order to ensure that none of those people could escape, the City Lord's Mansion specially prepared a large amount of fuel and arranged elite troops to lurk in the dark, waiting to catch them off guard as soon as they showed their heads. In the darkness of the night, those lurking soldiers were like ghosts, silent and waiting for an order to ruthlessly swing their sharp blades at the enemy.
However, although the fire was fierce, it only burned the outer edge of the yard, and there was a tendency to gradually go out. At this moment, the smiles of the elders froze, like the surface of a lake that suddenly froze, no longer able to reflect their inner pride.
"What's going on? How could this happen?" An elder was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out of his head. He stared with eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief, as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world.
Not only him, but others including Wei Zhenran and Zhan Guo also looked incredulous. They hurried over to check, and found that a shield had appeared in the yard at some point, and the flames could not get in at all. The shield was like transparent glass, isolating the flames from everything in the yard.
Although the fire burned fiercely, it only destroyed the courtyard wall. The dozen people in the courtyard were grinning at the fire outside, as if they were watching a joke. There was no panic or fear on their faces, but instead they were full of jokes and ridicule, as if the fire was just a small episode in their lives.
