Zixie Qing coldly said, "What I call you has nothing to do with you." Saying this, she pulled Chu Le'er and walked behind Chu Yang.
Those with keen eyes could tell: they had come seeking a man's protection because they were outnumbered…
Chu Yang immediately rolled his eyes.
Lan Ruoyun was clearly from the Lan Family, and judging by the way he acted, he was one of the young masters of the Lan Family. Just by looking at his eyes and expression, one could tell he was a lecher.
When someone like him saw a stunning beauty like Zixie Qing, it was like a fly encountering honey – they'd rather shatter their bones than pass up the chance to get close.
Zixie Qing, cold as ice, had a demeanor that rejected everyone from a thousand miles away, which only made Lan Ruoyun even more delighted and eager. It seemed that men had a common ailment: the harder a woman was to conquer, the greater the sense of accomplishment when they finally did.
This was a universal flaw in men, and Young Master Lan was no exception.
Among the twelve members of the Lan Family present, eleven were currently dazzled and enamored. Only a middle-aged man in his thirties standing next to Lan Ruoyun felt a twinge of unease.
He himself was puzzled; there was only one man and two women in front of him, and the man had some strength, but he was just a mere lord-level. As for the two women, one was a little girl hardly worth mentioning, and the other had cultivation that seemed to be at the sect level, even weaker.
But why did he feel as if disaster was looming? With his supreme first rank cultivation level, he shouldn't feel this way.
"Seventh Young Master, I think it's best not to stir up trouble. We should complete the chief enforcer's commission early and return to report. If the Ye Family and Zhuge Family get ahead of us, it would be a significant loss of face for our Lan Family." After pondering for a moment, he finally chose to trust his instincts. His intuition had never betrayed him.
Lan Ruoyun waved his folding fan and gazed at Zixie Qing with a smile, while he casually dismissed Chu Yang, saying, "Uncle Han, there's no rush. We've been searching for several days and haven't found anything; I don't believe they would just happen to find something at this moment. Besides… the matters here are quite important."
The "Uncle Han" sighed inwardly, thinking, what could be so important here? It's just that you have your eyes on someone else's wife.
Chu Yang on the opposite side thought to himself, so this time it wasn't the enforcers making a move? Instead, that Lang Yilang had stirred up the three major families to do his dirty work?
In that case, would there be people from the Ye Family and Zhuge Family here? He just didn't know… who had come from those two families?
"Little lady, you must have heard of me, Lan Ruoyun, right?" Lan Ruoyun smiled and said proudly, "Then you must have heard of the Lan Family? As for the boy beside you…"
He pointed at Chu Yang with his fan, disdainfully saying, "What is he? If you follow me, I guarantee you a life free of worries and cares, much better than following this boy as he drifts aimlessly, suffering all kinds of hardships."
Zixie Qing coldly replied, "My fiancé is highly skilled and the best among the younger generation, known to be invincible among his peers. He's a remarkable man, while you are just a nobility's son. What could you possibly offer that is better than my fiancé?"
"Fiancé? Just a fiancé?" Lan Ruoyun's eyes brightened instantly. "Hahaha… just a fiancé makes it even better."
He turned to Chu Yang and said, "Kid, I won't play with you anymore. Simply put, a beauty like this isn't something you can handle. Scram, and I'll let you off with your life since I'm in a good mood!"
Seeing that everyone around was on his side, this young master shamelessly tore off all pretenses and openly displayed his intent to forcibly seize a woman. It was clear he intended to snatch her away!
Chu Yang coldly responded, "Whether I can handle it or not… depends on reality."
