"Boss, can't you go? That bastard has set a trap and is waiting for you...... The most important thing is that we don't seem to be his opponents!" Lei Luo looked at the battle book in Dao Yuan's hand with a worried expression.

"Lu Qianshan's intention for this move is obvious, he wants to use the Xuantian Sword Sect to balance the Xiao City Lord, after all, the Xuantian Sword Sect is a Jianghu sect, not under the rule of Yunxiao City, and I heard that the power is not small. Therefore, he calculated that it was inconvenient for City Lord Xiao to make a move, so he thought of this method. In this case, I can't help it, otherwise, he will have more excuses to say things with this, and when the time comes, we will inevitably be more passive. ”

"However, that bastard's cultivation is in the Heyuan Upper Realm, how can you beat him!

"It's one thing to beat it or not, and it's another thing to dare to fight it. Since we only have two ways to go, why bother with the choice. Dao Yuan put the war book into his arms: "People, there are always some things that must be faced. ”

Seven days is not a long time, but it is not a short time, and soon, the agreed time will be reached.

In the evening of this day, Xiao Bufan sat alone in the garden, looking at a begonia tree in front of him, bowing his head and pondering.

The breeze is light, and the blood-colored petals sway, exuding the fragrance of flowers all over the garden.

"Father, do you want to tell Rou'er about this?"

Xiao Tiandang carried a lantern and gently came behind him.

Xiao Bufan came back to his senses and said slowly: "What can you do if you say it, what can you do if you don't say it." ”

"However, she is very concerned about that kid, if something really happens to him tonight, I am afraid that Rou'er will ......"

"Don't worry, in my Cloud City, even if it is his Xuantian Sword Sect, he has to weigh everything he does!" 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 kid can beat Lu Qianshan, after all, the two of them are a big realm apart, and the swordsmanship of the Xuantian Sword Sect has always been famous for its fierce moves, and this battle, he is very dangerous." ”

Xiao Bufan said: "Actually, this young man is calm and introverted, and he doesn't speak much, but he is very likable, but it's a pity that the cultivation time is too short, and for the kid from the Lu family, even if the chance to win is not zero, it should not be too much." However, if his Lu family is interested, they will naturally know how to do it, and if they really dare to kill people under my nose, hum......"

The meaning of the words is self-explanatory.

If the Lu family's move was just to vent their anger and save face for the Xuantian Sword Sect, then it would be okay to teach Dao Yuan a lesson, even if he shot harder, Xiao Bufan would not be able to say much in order to take care of the overall situation.

But after all, Dao Yuan is Rou'er's life-saving benefactor, just this point, for the sake of Xiao Bufan's face, the Lu family should not do too much, otherwise, it will not take Xiao Bufan in his eyes.

Xiao Tiandang naturally understood his father's unfinished words, but he still said with some hesitation: "Those old guys of the Lu family will naturally be measured, I am just worried about Lu Qianshan, he has been pampered since he was a child, and he is spoiled by the Lu family." Since entering the Xuantian Sword Sect, after learning all these years, he has become even more domineering, and his eyes are above the top. After really facing the Dao Yuan, I am afraid that he will not be able to control it and kill the killer. ”

"Well, that's a problem!" Xiao Bufan nodded, looking at his son's eyes full of relief.

But then, his smile froze. Not far away, Rou'er was holding a purple robe, looking at them intently, her body trembling slightly in the dim light.

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

Xiao Tiandang also hurriedly turned around, and his two thick eyebrows were locked in one place.

"If it weren't for the clothes you gave to my father, I think I would have been kept in the dark. Rou'er tried her best to suppress her tone: "How long do you want to hide from me!"

Xiao Tiandang stepped forward and hugged her: "Rou'er, don't get excited, isn't my father and I trying to figure out a way!"

Rou'er shook off his hand and said in a questioning tone, "Then have you figured out a way?"

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

Rou'er walked over, put the clothes in her hand on the stone table, met Xiao Bufan's gaze, and said clearly: "I don't want Brother Daoyuan to be hurt in the slightest, so I want to go too, I want to see what good ways my father, who is the lord of a city, uses to protect his daughter's life-saving benefactor." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Xiao Bufan to answer, and turned around and walked out of the garden directly.

Xiao Bufan looked at her back and sighed: "This girl, why is her temper still like this!"

Xiao Tiandang said: "If you want me to say, my little sister's temperament is much better now, and before she was about to change, she might not even say much, and she acted directly." ”

Back in the room, Mrs. Xiao saw that Rou'er was wrong, and asked softly, "What happened?"

"Mother, I'm going out for a while. ”

Mrs. Xiao was shocked: "Your injuries haven't fully recovered yet, so you can't go out casually!"

Rou'er said: "When I was giving clothes just now, I overheard the conversation between my father and my brother, tonight, Lu Qianshan is going to have a decisive battle with Brother Daoyuan, so I must go, since my father is unwilling to protect the benefactor who saved his daughter, then, I have to come by my daughter in person." ”

"What!" Mrs. Xiao was surprised: "Why don't I know about this!"

"They weren't going to tell us at all!"

"It's just a decisive battle, so there shouldn't be an accident, right?"

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

"So, what did your father say?"

"I don't care what happens to my father, anyway, I won't let Brother Daoyuan get hurt!" Rou'er walked to the door and called, "Xiang'er, get ready, let's leave immediately." ”

Mrs. Xiao hurriedly stopped her and said, "You girl, you are still so stubborn! How can your father be the kind of person who knows how to repay his kindness! Dao Yuan once saved you, I think, he will definitely find a way to keep him safe, but, as the city lord, he also has his own difficulties, you have to understand." ”

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

Mrs. Xiao lovingly helped her tuck a strand of hair that hung down, and asked with a smile: "Rou'er, you tell Wei Niang, do you like Daoyuan?"

When Rou'er heard this, two pieces of colorful light suddenly flew out of her face, and she said shamefully: "Mother, I'm talking to you about business!"

"Isn't what my mother said serious?"

Mrs. Xiao pulled her to sit at the table and said with a smile: "You are the daughter of your mother, as the saying goes, knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, do I don't know what you think in your heart!?"

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

"Mother knows everything. Mrs. Xiao patted her hand lightly and said, "According to my observation, that young man is indeed good, neither humble nor arrogant, not shocked by honor and disgrace, and what is even more rare is that he is still a careful person who can take care of people, to be honest, I also like him very much." ”

Sighing softly, she continued: "In my mother's life, the most worrying thing is you, I don't expect you to become any head or saint queen in the future, as long as you can have a satisfactory sweetheart and a good home, then my mother will die in the future, and she will smile at Jiuquan." ”

Rou'er hugged Mrs. Xiao's arm, leaned on her arms, and said, "You won't die, you will definitely live a long life! ”

"Don't be stupid, don't marry and suffer all your life! A woman needs a home after all!" Mrs. Xiao touched Rou'er's hair and said softly: "If you really like Daoyuan, my mother will not object, as for this matter, I will go and talk to your father, don't worry." ”

"Really!" Rou'er said happily: "I know that my mother loves me the most." ”

......

The moonlight is getting brighter, the shadows of the trees swaying on the branches, the occasional few birds that have returned late, and the cheerful calls are so clear in the silent night.

Outside the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Bufan looked up at the stars in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Father, Rou'er has already gotten into the sedan chair, when are we leaving?" I don't know when, Xiao Tiandang came behind him and asked.

"You have to remember that Rou'er's injury is not healed yet, there is something wrong with her, you have to watch her, you can't get too close, you know?"

"Yes, the child remembers. ”

Xiao Bufan looked back, waved his big hand, and walked in the direction of the Star Tower.

Yinxing Tower, just south of the City Lord's Mansion, is very close, and in a short time, the group has already arrived in the center of the wide square.

At this time, the place is already brightly lit and full of people.

More than 100 sergeants belonging to the City Lord's Mansion had already been ordered to come, each holding torches in their hands and forming a large circle in the square.

A little further in, Hai Wuya and other high-level figures from various martial arts academies each took a few disciples and sat in various places in the field.

Directly to the west, two thin men about fifty years old, sitting side by side, their appearance is somewhat similar, their beards and hair are slightly gray, looking at the front with a solemn expression, Lu Qianshan holds the sword in both hands, standing proudly behind them.

These two people, one 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 got up and saluted.

Xiao Bufan waved his hand, walked straight to the chair in the north, sat down without saying a word with a cold face. Xiao Tiandang protected Rou'er's soft sedan chair and slowly walked to a place not far behind him.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lu Chengding got up and walked into the middle of the field, hugged his fists slightly at Xiao Bufan, Hai Wuya and others, and said loudly: "Lu Mou thanks City Lord Xiao and all the friends of the Martial Arts Academy for coming. I think you all already know that not long ago, Xiaoer Qianshan had a dispute with someone, and he accidentally injured the daughter of Xiao City Lord in the fight, in this regard, Lu once again represented my entire Lu family to make amends to Xiao City Lord, thank Xiao City Lord for his massive magnanimity, and no longer pursue Xiao'er's responsibility. ”

After speaking, he bent over Xiao Bufan with his fists and bowed deeply.

Xiao Bufan snorted lightly and said nothing.
