Inside the martial arts hall, Elder Xu glanced at Elder Lan and the others with some displeasure, and said in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "Old Lan, aren't you just causing trouble for our association?"

In fact, Elder Lan and the others do not usually reside at the Martial Arts Association headquarters, but rather live in other locations. Although they are elders, they do not actually wield any real power.

Otherwise, how could he not know some of the important matters of the martial arts tournament?

He returned this time at the invitation of the association headquarters to attend the conference.

Elder Xu is different. He is an honorary elder of the headquarters and is responsible for managing some industries, such as these martial arts schools. Therefore, his power in the Martial Arts Association is theoretically higher than that of Elder Lan.

Elder Lan had no idea that such a thing would happen. He had come here intending to make a preconceived notion, but he never expected to encounter such a powerful figure!

He gave a wry smile: "I have no choice. You see, this place is under your jurisdiction. Can you think of a way to resolve the negative impact?"

Elder Xu frowned and began to ponder.

After a moment, he said, "I will resolve this matter for you, but we must prevent similar incidents from happening again! You can stay here and wait for the chairman and the others to arrive."

Elder Lan nodded quickly: "Then we'll miss Old Xu!"

Elder Xu shook his head helplessly. He had indeed received a lot of care from Elder Lan back then, so he couldn't say much to him.

As if remembering something, Elder Xu suddenly said, "Oh right, I almost forgot. Our guild has already sent out invitations to the Tiger Gate. With the Hero's Invitation, they can participate in the Martial Arts Tournament. You just made a move and sent their leader to the hospital. How are they going to compete?"

Elder Lan's face stiffened: "This... I don't know anything about this!"

"Hmph! I will explain the situation to the president. If the president really blames you, you will be severely punished!" Elder Xu said somewhat irritably.

"Ah! It's come to this, I accept it!" Elder Lan's face was somewhat bitter, then he suddenly said, "Old Xu, could you do me a favor?"

Elder Xu raised an eyebrow: "What kind of help?"

Make it clear first: if it's too difficult, he won't help!

Elder Lan suddenly grimaced: "Get me a doctor, I have multiple fractures all over my body!"

Elder Xu: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Outside the martial arts school, several young people gathered together.

"Brother Lan, what do we do? This has blown up!" a young man said miserably.

Lan Jing frowned: "This is my fault, you don't need to worry. If anyone should be punished, it should be me!"

Upon hearing this, the young men breathed a sigh of relief.

Lan Jing saw their expressions and a hint of mockery rose in her heart.

Good grief, they're always so eager to follow me around, but when it comes to a crisis, they only care about themselves.

What a fake brotherhood.

"Hey Lan, should we retaliate again for this?" Suddenly, a young man spoke up.

As soon as he spoke, the others immediately objected.

"Are you crazy? You want revenge? Didn't you see how powerful that guy is? Even Elder Lan isn't a match for him! How could we possibly defeat him?"

"Hey! I didn't say we'd do it ourselves. We can hire people to secretly retaliate!"

"And listen to me, even if that guy is incredibly powerful, the people around him can't all be that freakish, right? We can totally target the people around him!"

"Hiss! How can you be so vicious? But I like it!"

"..."

Lan Jing's eyes lit up slightly as he listened to these words, but he already knew what to do.

He raised his hand and waved it: "Alright, alright, you all should stay out of this! As for retaliation, Old Jiang is right, they are more powerful than us. What retaliation can we possibly have? Let's see what the association has to say next."

Upon hearing this, the group had no choice but to give up.

After dealing with the young men, Lan Jing no longer concealed his hatred!

"You despicable bastard! I'll make you understand what happens when you mess with Lan Jing! Even if you're a local bully, I'll beat you to a pulp!"

………

Meanwhile, in a VIP suite at a hotel.

A stunningly beautiful woman with a devilish figure is lying on the bed, her legs, like works of art, are raised, and her incredibly delicate skin exudes ultimate allure!

If there were any men here, they probably wouldn't be able to resist even after just a few minutes of watching.

Her hair reached her waist, and her waist was so slender and delicate that it seemed as if it would break with the slightest touch.

The beautiful woman was on her phone, talking to someone: "Hello Officer Li, have you found the man who saved me last time?"

On the other end of the phone, Officer Li, also known as Li Yaqing, said in a clear voice, "I'm sorry, Ms. Long, I have found the person, but they are unwilling to reveal their name."

Miss Long is none other than Long Yingning!

She was kidnapped on her way to Jianghai last time, but a mysterious man intervened and saved her.

And in the end, the man didn't take her back; instead, he called the police on the spot and then left alone.

Thinking of this, Long Yingning got angry, because whether it was her figure or her appearance, she was among the best in the entire Jiang Province, not to mention that she was the eldest daughter of the Long family!

Who is the Long family? They are the second most powerful family among the eight great families of Jiang Province!

How noble is his/her status?

Unexpectedly, she encountered a man who wasn't interested in her at all!

This undoubtedly dealt a severe blow to her self-esteem.

In the past, how many men would have fawned over her? How many wealthy young men would have pursued her?

I never expected to run into a wall when I arrived in a small city!

Are all the men here like this?

During the days she stayed there, the scene from that time kept replaying in her mind; the man who fell from the sky kept haunting her.

Of course, she hadn't yet fallen in love with him.

She was simply uncomfortable because her charm had been challenged! She felt a sense of resentment.

With a sigh, Long Yingning nodded and said into the phone, "Alright then, thank you for your hard work, Officer Li."

"It's nothing." Li Ya breathed a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone.

Actually, she knew that Qin Ziling had saved this woman, but she did not go to Qin Ziling to explain the situation as Long Yingning had asked her to, because she subconsciously showed a hint of hostility when she saw how beautiful Long Yingning was.

Qin Ziling saved the eldest daughter of the Long family, and her current attitude shows that she is very interested in Qin Ziling, but Li Ya just doesn't want her to have any feelings for him.

This idea was so strange that even Li Ya herself didn't know why.

Anyway, the Long family is a super family, and it would be a bad thing if Qin Ziling offended them. By doing this, she was actually helping him out.

Should I count?
