Gu Duxing was momentarily speechless, feeling a mix of exasperation and amusement rising within him. "Heaven's Secret, you really have a great sense of humor..."
Mo Tianji sighed, "I'm not joking... Duxing, you need to remember, those four can cause some trouble, kill a few people to vent their anger, but the two of us must never act or show ourselves. At most, we can provide cover for them, understand?"
Gu Duxing nodded.
"Entering the Lan Family doesn't require too many people..." Mo Tianji pondered. "Let them blow off some steam."
Gu Duxing sighed, watching as the jade flower below grew increasingly vibrant. It was evident how furious Xie Danqiong had become, and he couldn't help but murmur, "They've set their sights on a rabbit like Xie Danqiong... talk about tempting fate..."
---
Xie Danqiong was indeed about to go mad with rage.
While accompanying Ao Xieyun to shop and gather information, they hadn’t found many new leads, and just as she was getting frustrated, the commotion ahead caught her attention.
As they approached, they saw a group of Lan family members behaving arrogantly, either robbing, threatening, or...
One of the guys had grabbed a young girl and wouldn’t let go. The girl was beautiful, and from her attire, it was clear she had some background, at least not from a humble family...
"Let go!" the girl struggled desperately. "I am from the Cheng family!"
"From the Cheng family?" the Lan family's steward said with a lewd grin. "Perfect... then that means you're just ripe for the picking..."
He reached out to touch the girl's face.
It seemed the Cheng family was a subsidiary family of the Lan family, but not a large one. A few of the girl’s guards came forward to stop him but were shoved aside by several Lan family warriors, leading to a standoff.
In an instant, the situation escalated.
With a sharp kick to the steward's groin, the Lan family's steward let out a shriek and crouched down, howling, "Beat her! Today, I’m going to have my fun with this little girl. If I don’t ruin her, then I won’t be called the Nineteenth Master of the Lan family..."
The girl’s face turned pale, realizing that this Lan family member was actually the Nineteenth Master.
This was truly...
A flash of steel, and the Lan family members were the first to strike. In the blink of an eye, the girl’s guards were either dead or injured on the ground. As the girl attempted to resist, she was quickly subdued, receiving a slap to the face, instantly turning her delicate features swollen and red.
She seemed to be pampered at home. Tears streamed down her face immediately.
The Nineteenth Master stood up, curling his body, and sneered, "You little slut, pretending to be so virtuous in front of me! The Nineteenth Master will make sure you can’t keep it up... Strip her clothes off! The Cheng family... such a big family, I'll make sure this little slut walks around naked in Sky Orchid City and see what the Cheng family can do about it?!"
"Let go!" Xie Danqiong couldn’t bear to watch any longer and shouted, "In broad daylight, forcefully robbing a young girl? Is such shamelessness the Lan family’s family motto for a thousand years?"
The Nineteenth Master turned to look, instantly captivated.
Xie Danqiong was tall and slender, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, her thin lips accentuating her beautiful figure in a flowing black cloak, making her even more elegant and handsome against the contrasting colors.
Even among women, she outshone Xie Danqiong.
The Nineteenth Master’s mouth watered at the sight, his gaze on Xie Danqiong like a starving dog spotting a meaty bone, a twenty-something-year-old lecherous old bachelor seeing a naked beauty...
He suddenly felt slightly dizzy...
Unknowingly, he released the girl and walked towards Xie Danqiong with a lewd grin. "Wow, I didn’t expect to find such high-quality goods here... Tsk tsk... very nice, very nice..."
After circling around Xie Danqiong, he clicked his tongue and said, "What’s most precious is a nice round backside..."
