"Boss, can't you go? That bastard clearly set up a trap and waited for you... The most important thing is that we don't seem to be his opponent!" Lei Luo looked at Zhan Shu in Daoyuan's hand with a worried look on his face.

"Lu Qianshan's intention of this move is very obvious. He wanted to use Xuantian Sword Sect to check and balance the Lord Xiao City. After all, Xuantian Sword Sect is a sect in the martial arts world and is not under Yunxiao City. He also heard that it has a large power. Therefore, he calculated that the Lord Xiao was inconvenient to take action, so he thought of this solution. In this case, I must not refuse, otherwise he would have an excuse to use this to say things. At that time, we will inevitably be more passive."

"But, that bastard's cultivation is at the top of the Heyuan Realm. How can you beat him? This is too dangerous!"

"It's one thing to fight or not, and it's another thing to fight or not. Since we only have two ways to go, why bother with choices?" Daoyuan put Zhan Shu in his arms: "There are always some things that people must face."

It took seven days, not long or short, and soon, the agreed time was reached.

On the evening of the day, Xiao Bufan sat alone in the garden, looking at the tree of begonia in front of him, and lowered his head to meditate.

The breeze passed by, and the blood-colored petals swayed, emitting the fragrance of flowers in the garden.

"Father, do you want to tell me about this?"

Xiao Tiandang came gently behind him with a lantern.

Xiao Bufan came to his senses and said slowly: "If you say it, you can do it, but if you don't say it, you can do it."

"But she was very worried about that boy. If something really happened to him tonight, I'm afraid Rou'er would..."

"Don't worry, in my Yunxiao City, even if it is his Xuantian Sword Sect, you have to consider things!" Xiao Bufan's eyes slowly turned sharp and he said to himself: "Lu family, hum! Lu family..."

Xiao Tiandang shook his head: "I don't think that boy can beat Lu Qianshan. After all, the two are a big difference. Moreover, the sword skills of Xuantian Sword Sect have always been famous for their strong moves. He is very dangerous in this battle."

Xiao Bufan said: "Actually, this young man is calm and introverted, and doesn't speak much, but he is very popular. Unfortunately, his practice time is too short. Even if he wins the opportunity to the boy from the Lu family is not zero, it should be too much different. However, if the Lu family is tactful, he will naturally know what to do. If they really dare to kill someone under my nose, hum..."

The meaning of the words is self-evident.

If the Lu family's move is just to exaggerate and for the sake of Xuantian Sword Sect, then it is okay to teach Daoyuan a lesson. Even if the move is heavier, Xiao Bufan will not be able to say more in order to take into account the overall situation.

But Daoyuan is Rouer's life-saving benefactor after all, and this is the only thing that is, for Xiao Bufan's sake, the Lu family should not have done too much, otherwise, it would not take Xiao Bufan seriously.

Xiao Tiandang naturally understood his father's words, but he still said hesitantly: "Those old guys in the Lu family will naturally have a sense of propriety. I am just worried that Lu Qianshan has been spoiled since childhood and has been spoiled by the Lu family. Since he entered the Xuantian Sword Sect, he has learned his skills for many years and is even more arrogant and has a higher attitude than the top. After facing the Daoyuan, I am afraid that he will not be able to control himself and kill him."

"Well, this is a problem!" Xiao Bufan nodded, and his eyes were filled with relief when he looked at his son.

But then, his smile suddenly froze. Not far away, Rou'er was holding a purple robe and staring at them intently. Under the dim light, her body trembled slightly.

"Rou'er, why are you here?" Xiao Bufan immediately stood up.

Xiao Tiandang also quickly turned around, and his thick eyebrows were frowned in one place.

"If I hadn't brought you clothes to my father, I thought I would have been kept in the dark." Rou'er tried her best to suppress her tone: "When did you want to hide it from me!"

Xiao Tiandang stepped forward to support her: "Rou'er, don't be excited, my father and I are trying to figure out a solution!"

Rou'er shook his hand away and said in a questioning tone: "Then have you figured out a solution?"

"Rou'er, don't speak in such a tone to my father!" Xiao Tiandang scolded softly.

Rou'er walked over, put the clothes in her hand on the stone table, and faced Xiao Bufan's gaze, and said with a clear voice: "I don't want Brother Daoyuan to be hurt at all, so I want to go too. I want to see what good ways to protect his daughter's savior as the Lord of the City."

After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Bufan to answer, he turned around and walked out of the garden.

Xiao Bufan looked at her back and sighed: "Why is this girl still so angry!"

Xiao Tiandang said: "If you want me to tell me, my younger sister has a much better temperament now. If she wants to change her past, she may not even say much and act directly."

When she returned to the room, Mrs. Xiao saw that Rou'er was inappropriate and asked softly: "What happened? It was fine just now, why did it become like this in a while?"

"Mother, I'm going out."

Mrs. Xiao was shocked: "Your injury has not been fully recovered yet, so you can't go out casually!"

Rou'er said: "When I was delivering clothes just now, I accidentally heard the conversation between my father and my brother. Tonight, Lu Qianshan is going to fight with Brother Daoyuan, so I must go. Since my father is unwilling to protect his benefactor who saves his daughter, he has to come in person."

"What!" Mrs. Xiao said in surprise: "Why don't I know about this!"

"They didn't plan to tell us at all!"

"It's just a decisive battle, there shouldn't be any trouble, right?"

"Mother!" Rou'er stamped her feet and said anxiously: "That's a life-and-death battle. Brother Daoyuan is not Lu Qianshan's opponent, he will die!"

"Then, what did your father say?"

"I don't care about my father. I will definitely not let Brother Daoyuan be hurt anyway!" Rou'er walked to the door and called out, "Xiang'er, prepare for it, let's set off right away."

Mrs. Xiao quickly stopped her and said, "You girl, are still so stubborn! Your father is not the kind of person who knows how to repay kindness! Daoyuan once saved you, I think he will definitely find a way to keep him alive, but as the city lord, he also has his own difficulties, you must understand."

"Then why doesn't he understand me?" Rou'er said angrily: "He knew that Brother Daoyuan was not Lu Qianshan's opponent, so why didn't he stop him! With his identity, this is not a difficult task at all. In my opinion, he obviously didn't want to offend the Lu family too much, and wanted Brother Daoyuan to stay away from me, so he wouldn't stop him."

Mrs. Xiao loved to help her close up a strand of her hanging hair, and asked with a smile: "Rou'er, tell Wei Niang, do you like Daoyuan?"

When Rou'er heard this, two colorful clouds suddenly flew out of her face and said shyly: "Mother, I'm talking to you about the serious business!"

"Isn't what I'm talking about?"

Mrs. Xiao pulled her to the table and smiled and said, "You are the daughter of your mother. As the saying goes, no one knows a daughter is better than a mother. Do you not know what you are thinking in your heart??"

Rou'er lowered her head and whispered: "What do you know?"

"Mom knows everything." Mrs. Xiao patted her hand gently and said, "According to my observation, the boy is really good, neither humble nor arrogant, nor shocked by honor and disgrace. What's even more rare is that he is still a careful person who can take care of people. To be honest, I like him very much."

She sighed softly and continued, "I am the one who is most worried about in my life. I don't hope that you will become a leader or saint in the future. As long as you can have a satisfying sweetheart and a good home, even if you die in the future, you will be smiling in the air."

Rou'er hugged Mrs. Xiao's arm, leaned in her arms, and said, "You will not die, you will definitely live a hundred years old! My daughter never goes anywhere, and she keeps her mother forever."

"Don't be stupid. I'll never marry for a lifetime! Women need a destination after all!" Mrs. Xiao touched Rouer's hair and whispered: "If you really like Daoyuan, your mother will not object. As for this matter, I will talk to your father, don't worry."

"Really!" Rou'er said happily: "I knew my mother loved me the most."

...

The moonlight gradually became brighter, and the trees were swaying on the branches. Occasionally, a few birds returning late flew past, and the cheerful cries were heard so clearly in the quiet night.

Outside the city lord's mansion, Xiao Bufan looked up at the stars in the sky, wondering what he was thinking.

"Father, Rou'er has already gotten into the sedan chair. When will we set off?" Xiao Tiandang came behind him and asked.

"You have to remember that Rou'er's injury has not healed yet. Maybe she has something to do. You have to take good care of her and not get too close, do you know?"

"Yes, my boy remembers it."

Xiao Bufan looked back, waved his hand, and headed towards the direction of the Yinxing Tower.

Yinxing Tower is located south of the city lord's mansion, very close to it. Soon, the group had already arrived at the center of the wide square.

At this time, the place was already brightly lit and silhouetted.

More than a hundred soldiers affiliated with the City Lord's Mansion had been ordered to come long ago, and each of them held a torch in his hand and formed a large circle in the square.

A little further inside, senior figures from various martial arts academies such as Hai Wuya, each with a few disciples, sat in various places in the venue.

Just west, two thin men in their fifties were sitting side by side. They looked a little similar, their hair and beard were slightly gray, and they looked ahead with a solemn expression. Lu Qianshan held his sword in his hands and stood proudly behind them.

One of these two people is Lu Qianshan's father, Lu Chengding, the head of the Lu family. The other is his uncle, Lu Qianlin's biological father Lu Chengyun.

Seeing Xiao Bufan coming, everyone stood up to salute.

Xiao Bufan waved his hand and walked straight to the chair in the north. He sat down with a cold face and said nothing. Xiao Tiandang protected Rou'er's sedan chair and slowly walked to a place not far behind him.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lu Chengding stood up and walked into the scene, clasped his fists at Xiao Bufan, Hai Wuya and others, and said loudly: "Lu thanks Lord Xiao and all the friends from the Martial Arts Academy for coming. I believe you all know that not long ago, the child Qianshan had an argument with someone and accidentally injured Lord Xiao's daughter in the fight. In response, Lu once again on behalf of my entire Lu family, he apologized to Lord Xiao for his massive magnanimity and no longer held the child accountable."

After saying that, he bent down at Xiao Bufan and gave a deep salute.

Xiao Bufan snorted lightly, without saying anything.
