All direct members of the Qian Family were imprisoned under various charges, and the Qian Family completely disappeared from Heijiang City. The news shocked the entire Heijiang City, and everyone speculated about who had the power to accomplish all this.
After leaving the Qian Family, Ye Luo returned to the Ning Familyās small courtyard.
"Mr. Ye, youāre back!"
Seeing Ye Luo return, Ning Lu said excitedly, her worried expression relaxing.
"From now on, just call me Ye Luo. The Qian Family no longer exists, and you donāt have to worry about Qian Lei bothering you anymore."
Ye Luo looked at Ning Lu and said.
"Really?"
Ning Lu found it hard to believe until she saw a news report on TV confirming that the Qian Family had indeed ceased to exist. At that moment, her heart filled with admiration and curiosity towards Ye Luo.
In the blink of an eye, night fell, and Ning Lu prepared a table full of dishes, inviting Ye Luo to dine.
"Who would have thought, Miss Ning, not only are you beautiful, but youāre also so capable!"
Ye Luo said with a smile as he looked at the table full of dishes.
Hearing Ye Luoās compliment, Ning Luās fair face blushed, her eyes carrying a hint of shyness.
"Luluās parents passed away very early, and it has just been her and me. So, Lulu has been handling things herself since she was young," Elder Ning sighed.
"Indeed, Miss Ning will certainly be a virtuous wife and good mother, and whoever marries you will be incredibly lucky!"
Ye Luo said with a smile.
"From now on, you can just call me Lulu," Ning Lu said softly.
"Xiao Ye, do you have a girlfriend?"
Elder Ning suddenly asked Ye Luo.
Ye Luo was startled and glanced at Elder Ning.
"Lulu isnāt getting any younger, but she just hasnāt found a suitable boyfriend yet, I..."
Elder Ning began speaking, and Ye Luo immediately understood his intention ā it seemed he was trying to set him up with his granddaughter. Ye Luo thought to himself that his luck in romance was indeed flourishing, encountering such an opportunity simply by coming here.
Ning Luās face turned a deeper red, her demeanor bashful as she lowered her head, not daring to look up. However, her eyes occasionally stole glances at Ye Luo, filled with nervous anticipation.
"Iām sorry, Elder Ning, I already have a girlfriend. Iām sure Lulu, with her beauty, will definitely find a good man in the future."
Ye Luo said apologetically. Though Ning Lu was a great beauty, he wouldnāt just accept any beautiful woman he saw. He already had enough women around him, and at this point, he didnāt want to be reckless anymore.
Moreover, Ning Lu and he were people from two different worlds, and he didnāt want such a pure girl to get involved in his complexities.
"Thatās a pity,"
Elder Ning sighed, while Ning Luās eyes briefly showed a trace of sorrow.
"By the way, Elder Ning, have you heard of Snow Mountain?"
Ye Luo suddenly asked.
"Snow Mountain! Of course, itās located hundreds of miles southwest of Heijiang City. Itās covered in snow all year round and extremely cold,"
Elder Ning nodded.
"I see, thank you, Elder Ning!" Ye Luo expressed his gratitude.
"Seeing that youāre not a local by your accent, could it be that you are here in search of Snow Mountain?"
"Exactly, I need to go to Snow Mountain to find something,"
Ye Luo nodded.
"Xiao Ye, Iāve heard that Snow Mountain is extremely cold, colder even than glaciers. Ordinary people canāt withstand it once they get close, you might want to reconsider..."
"Donāt worry, Iāll be fine," Ye Luo revealed a hint of a smile.
Hearing Ye Luo say this, Elder Ning no longer said anything.
After finishing the meal, Ye Luo returned to his room to continue absorbing and refining the remaining energy from the Three-Leaf Golden Lotus, aiming to smoothly break through to the third level of the Saint Realm.
While Ye Luo was preparing to break through to the third level of the Saint Realm, a group of people arrived outside the villa in Capital City where he used to live.
This group of people was exactly the protectors dispatched by Tianzong, including the Tianzong expert Situ Wentian.
"Is this the place where that kid Ye Luo lives?"
Song Kang scanned the villa with a glance and spoke coldly.
"Yes, Ye Luo and his woman all live here."
Situ Wentian nodded, a cold gleam flickering in his eyes.
Inside the villa, Feng Tian and the others sensed the arrival of Song Kang and his group and walked out one after another.
Feng Tian, Xue Tu, Mad Bear, Hei Zi, Hu Zi, and Lightning Monkey all came out.
In the villa, the women sensed the situation outside and were about to go out, but Zi Xia stopped them.
"Itās dangerous outside; all of you stay inside the villa and donāt go out."
Zi Xia looked at the women and said, then turned and headed outside.
"Who are you?"
Feng Tian looked at Song Kang and the others with a stern expression.
"I am a protector of Tianzong, acting on the orders of the Grand Elder to capture Ye Luo. If you donāt want to die, step aside and let Ye Luo come out!"
Song Kang snapped icily, radiating a powerful aura.
"Ye Luo is not here; you should leave!"
Feng Tian spoke indifferently.
"Not here?" Song Kangās expression darkened, and he turned his gaze toward Situ Wentian. "Situ Wentian, what is this? Didnāt you say he was here?"
"Protector, although Ye Luo isnāt here, as long as his subordinates and his woman are here, he will surely appear. Why donāt we capture all his women, then the kid will surely show up willingly."
Situ Wentian hurriedly suggested.
"Good, everyone, take action and go capture them!"
Song Kang gave a cold command, and at once, the dozen or so Tianzong experts behind him burst forth with a terrifying aura, all of them experts of the Saint Realm, and all above the fourth level of the Saint Realm.
"Since you are going to try your luck, then donāt blame us for not being polite!"
Feng Tian said coldly, and at that moment Xue Tu and Mad Bear made their way forward.
"Let the two of us handle these guys!"
Xue Tu and Mad Bearās eyes sparkled with a fierce killing intent, their bodies erupting with a terrifying aura.
Now, the strength of both had already stepped into the sixth level of the Saint Realm, but the aura they emitted was even stronger than that of experts at the eighth level of the Saint Realm.
Although Hei Zi, Hu Zi, and Lightning Monkey had all broken through to Saint Realm strength, at only the first level, they were not strong enough to handle these attackers and could only stand aside unwillingly, while Feng Tian, not yet acting, was staring at Song Kang with a pair of serious eyes.
"Itās been a long time since I tasted fresh blood; today, Iāll use you to sharpen my blade!"
Xue Tuās eyes flickered with a bloodthirsty killing intent, and a bloody glow surged from his body, Miao Knife appearing in his hand, emitting a heavy bloodthirsty aura.
"Take them down!"
Song Kang bellowed, and the dozen or so Tianzong experts charged forward, wielding their weapons, and their terrifying True Qi burst forth.
