567 Intense Confrontation
Even now, the cold current was still affecting Dragon City. The cold wind blew, and the temperature in Dragon City was bone-chilling.
The hunters that Wang Yiruo brought were all under the Dragon Kingdom, and there were many experts!
The eight great families had always been at odds with the Dragon Kingdomâs officials. At this moment, the two sides were in a stalemate.
âQi Wen, Zhu Haitian!â Wang Yiruo said calmly, but her killing intent was overflowing.
âYou keep saying that this is the will of your eight great families! Alright then, let me ask you! Do the remaining six families know what you have done today?â
!!
âThe Yan family knows about it,â Qi Wen said after a moment of silence.
âWhat about the remaining five families?â
âThis, it doesnât seem like itâs your business, right?â Zhu Haitian sneered, his face filled with ridicule.
âThis time, thereâs also the incident in Tianjin, Ha City, and Dragon City Hotel. Many innocent people were implicated by you and died because of it. Therefore, I have to give the world an explanation.â Wang Yiruoâs voice was as cold as ice.
Moreover, she deliberately emphasized the words âDragon City Hotelâ, causing Zhu Haitianâs heart to tremble.
âWang Yiruo!â Zhu Haitian knew he was in the wrong and glared at Wang Yiruo.
âWait!â Qi Wen suddenly stopped him and turned around to say, âLu Benwei also implicated many innocent people in the process of fighting us. What crime should he be punished for?â
âI had no choice! If you didnât insist on killing me, why would I fight with you and hurt the innocent?â Lu Benwei replied coldly.
âImpudent! You!â Qi Wen was furious. âThe deaths of my son and daughter are related to you!â
âThey want to kill me. Am I supposed to just stand there and let them kill me?â Lu Benwei only retorted sarcastically.
âEnough, the Zhu and Qi families were in the wrong first. They started a private fight with others. However, considering that our ancestors have contributed to the Dragon Kingdom, we wonât arrest them. We just need to deal with the aftermath,â Wang Yiruo said coldly.
The results of the investigation were made public. Zhu Haitian and Qi Wen naturally had objections.
After spending much effort, not only did he fail to capture and kill Lu Benwei, but he also had to compensate in the end! This result was something that both families were unwilling to accept.
âWang Yiruo, this seems to be your idea alone, right? I want to hear what the old man has to say!â Qi Wen suddenly raised his eyebrows and said with a mocking expression.
The old master of the Wang family had once ruled the Dragon Kingdom. The Wang family was also the executor of the Dragon Kingdomâs laws, and the Judgment Holy Temple was a force under the Wang family. Almost everyone in Dragon City knew about it.
Wang Yiruo and the Wang familyâs old master had never been on good terms. However, Wang Yiruoâs ability was too outstanding, and the old man could not do anything to her for a while. With the interests of the eight great families involved, Old Master Wang would never stop!
âI want to hear what the old man has to say,â Qi Wen said in a deep voice.
Wang Yiruo snorted coldly and threw out an iron token.
âThis is what the old master wants!â
Everyone looked at the iron token and their expressions changed.
âOld Masterâs token?â
âDid the old master give it to you?â
Qi Wen and Zhu Haitian were in disbelief.
âWhat else?â Wang Yiruo looked at the man coldly.
âDo you two still want to ignore the iron order? Or is it that you eight great families want to establish a new order now?â
Wang Yiruoâs words made Qi Wen and Zhu Haitianâs expressions flash with a trace of malice.
Everyone knew that the eight great families wanted to establish a new order. However, no one dared to say it out loud.
âWang Yiruo, donât talk nonsense!â Qi Wen pointed at Wang Yiruo and scolded coldly.
Wang Yiruo sneered. âIâm just joking. Family head Qi Wen, why are you so anxious?â
âYou, you!â
Qi Wen was so angry that he could not say anything. In the end, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Zhu Haitian glared fiercely at Wang Yiruo and turned to leave.
âFamily head Zhu,â Wang Yiruo called out to Zhu Haitian, his voice calm, âWhen the day comes, I, Wang Yiruo, will take your head first!â
âYouâd better wait until that day!â
Zhu Haitian glared fiercely at Wang Yiruo, turned his head, and immediately wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
After that, under Wang Yiruoâs protection, Lu Benwei returned to Jiujiang City.
â¦
Zhejiang Hunter University had already prepared a welcoming ceremony.
Liu Yi, Lin Feng, Zhao Xiaoqi, Dugu, Hai Yue, and the others were all waiting at the door to welcome them!
The moment Lu Benwei appeared, he was immediately surrounded by everyone.
âBrother Lu, Iâve heard about your deeds in Dragon City!â
âHeâs simply too brave!â
âHe dares to go against the eight great families!â
Dugu, Qian Hai, and the others had completely become Lu Benweiâs little fans, looking at him with great admiration.
âI had no choice. If they didnât provoke me, who would be willing to provoke them?â Lu Benwei smiled bitterly.
They were all born in poverty, and the eight great families that oppressed them could be said to have a deep hatred for them.
âYouâve done well, kid. Iâll leave Yanyan to you. I donât have to worry!â
Zhao Xiaoqi patted Lu Benweiâs chest with a meaningful look in her eyes.
Lu Benwei grinned. âBe gentle. Iâm about to have a heart attack from your slap.â
Then, Lu Benwei introduced Li Tiancheng and the old beggar to everyone.
Lin Feng, Zhao Xiaoqi, and Li Tiancheng had fought in the National Class Tournament, so they quickly became familiar with each other.
As for the old beggar, under his messy hair, he revealed an unruly and free feeling. He quickly became the spiritual leader of Dugu and the others.
After learning that the old beggar was a legendary ancient martial arts master, Dugu and the others wanted to acknowledge the old beggar as their master!
âWhereâs Chu Yan? Didnât she come back a long time ago?â
Lu Benwei did not hear Chu Yanâs voice, and he could not help but feel a little lonely.
âI wonder where she ran off to every day. They said that they found a place suitable for meditation behind our school, but they canât see anyone every day,â Liu Yi said unhappily.
Lu Benwei slapped his head. âOh, then I know where she is.â
With that, he disappeared from the campus.
â¦
There was a large area of farmland behind the campus of Jiangzhe Hunter University.
Spring wheat would be planted every year.
It was now April. According to the Dragon Kingdomâs calendar, it was the third month of spring that the ancient books had mentioned.
The wheat had already broken out of the ground. Looking from afar, it was a verdant land.
Lu Benwei walked on the ridges. The soft soil under his feet made a rustling sound.
The automatic watering machine sprayed fresh water into the sky, forming a dreamy rainbow under the reflection of the sun.
The wheat sprout was plump and emitted a sweet fragrance. Colorful butterflies danced in the air and finally landed on a young girlâs shoulder.
Lu Benwei quietly walked in front of the girl.
âIâm back.â
