After disciplining the henchmen and uttering harsh words, Lin Bufan struck Leng Lingqi away with a palm, freeing Zhou Zhiruo.

Ji Yaohua and Butterfly had already stopped fighting and were no longer engaging in combat with Xiaolongnu and Zhao Min.

"Let's go back to the Divine Marquis's Mansion and wait for news."

Lin Bufan was arrogant and domineering, and went back with the three girls.

Zhuge Zhengwo sighed helplessly.

His opponent was at the mid-stage of the Free Realm, far surpassing his early-stage strength; he was no match for him at all.

Even if Zhui Ming, Tie Shou, and Wu Qing joined forces, they might not necessarily gain the upper hand.

Leng Lingqi was already a Grandmaster, yet he couldn't even deal with Zhou Zhiruo, who was only a Grandmaster.

Sigh, fine, I'll just accept Lin Bufan's request. Go and find Cao Zhengchun, and while you're at it, find the Emperor.

However, it is unknown whether the Emperor would be willing to condescend to visit the Divine Marquis's residence.

Zhuge Zhengwo left to find Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Houzhao.

Qinglong coughed up blood and couldn't get up. Several of his men helped him up and asked, "Sir, what do we do now?"

"Go back first, torture Ding Xiu to extract a confession, and find out who killed Baihu."

Qinglong clutched his chest, watching Lin Bufan's departing figure, his teeth itching with anger: "This person is not easy to deal with, and we have already suffered heavy losses. Let's let him go for now and let the East and West Factories and the Dragon Guard Manor make their move first."

"Yes, Lord Azure Dragon."

The Imperial Guards helped Qinglong back to the Zhenfu Division, supporting each other as they went.

Guihai Yidao also got up and went back to the Dragon Guard Manor to report to Iron-Blooded Marquis.

Leng Lingqi helped Ji Yaohua up and asked with concern, "Are you hurt? I'll take you home."

Seeing Wuqing watching nearby, Ji Yaohua, displaying her exquisite tea skills, deliberately declined, saying, "Wouldn't that be inappropriate? Sister Wuqing is here; she'll be angry."

Leng Lingqi still insisted: "But you are injured, let me take you back first. She is not the kind of person who is petty."

Without saying a word, he picked up Ji Yaohua and walked away with the group from the Six Doors.

You've overestimated Wuqing. He's not that magnanimous; he's actually quite petty.

Leng Lingqi carried Ji Yaohua away without even glancing at her. Wuqing bit her lip, feeling both jealous and angry, and muttered to herself, "What a heartless bastard."

Zhuiming and Tieshou helped push Wuqing's wheelchair, comforting him, "Don't think too much. Leng Lingqi has you in his heart. Ji Yaohua can't take him away."

"Hmph." Wuqing said arrogantly, "Who cares about him?"

Butterfly parted ways with the Six Doors halfway there and hurried towards the An Mansion.

Upon hearing Butterfly's report, An Shigeng became neurotic again, slapping his thigh and letting out a goose-like laugh.

"Goose, goose, goose, goose, no one believes him, nobody believes him. He identified Ji Yaohua and you as my people, but nobody believes him. Goose, goose, goose, goose, goose, goose, goose, goose, goose, goose..."

"Owner……"

Butterfly said nervously, "Ji Yaohua is injured. Lin Bufan's men injured her."

"What?! Ji Yaohua is injured!"

An Shigeng's smile froze, and he immediately became anxious.

He liked Ji Yaohua openly; everyone in the An family knew it, it was no secret.

boom!

An Shigeng stood up, lifting his robes, and angrily released a terrifying pressure. His cultivation level was as high as the late stage of the Free and Easy Realm, even more terrifying than Lin Bufan.

Who would have thought that the famous God of Wealth An, renowned throughout the capital, actually possessed terrifyingly high martial arts skills?

A flame burst forth in his palm, burning fiercely, raising the surrounding temperature by tens of degrees.

The arson techniques of the Western Regions are terrifying.

The butterfly was so frightened that it kept backing away.

The master was notoriously unpredictable; she might die without even knowing how.

"Master, spare me!"

"Spare me? What are you afraid of?"

"I... I failed to protect Ji Yaohua."

"It's alright, she's not dead."

An Shigeng's expression changed. He withdrew his fiery true energy, walked over to comfort Butterfly, and said nervously, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay, I won't kill anyone indiscriminately."

"Then, is Master going to the Divine Marquis's Mansion to deal with Lin Bufan?" Butterfly asked cautiously.

An Shigeng stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "It's not my turn to make a move yet. Let's watch the show for a while and see how the East and West Factories and the Dragon Guard Manor deal with Lin Bufan."

Hulong Mountain Villa.

Zhu Wushi stood with his hands behind his back, facing away from Guihai Yidao.

"Did he really say that? That I would rebel?"

“That’s right. His tone was so resolute, it sounded so real. He even said that Ji Yaohua and Hu Die from the Six Doors were An Shigen’s people, and that my father died at my mother’s hands.”

Guihai Yidao still refused to believe it, shaking his head frantically: "I've had no clue all these years. The truth seems so close, yet so far away. Perhaps Lin Bufan is right. I should go home and ask my mother."

"Your father's death, alas, has become your heartache, your inner demon."

Zhu Wushi sighed, "Yidao, you're not in good shape. Take a few days to rest, go home and see your family... no..."

Suddenly, Zhu Wushi stopped and changed his words, saying, "Don't go home and ask your mother yet. Go see a doctor, get your body in order, and get back to normal."

Lin Bufan hit the nail on the head, forcing Zhu Wushi to take it seriously: Zhu Wushi did indeed harbor rebellious intentions, and Ji Yaohua and Hudie were indeed An Shigeng's people.

If Guihai Yidao goes home and asks his mother, and confirms that Guihai Bailian was murdered by his wife, wouldn't that also prove that he did indeed have the intention to rebel?

At that time, Cao Zhengchun, Yu Huatian, Liu Bushen, Qinglong, and Zhuge Zhengwo from the Divine Marquis's Mansion will all come to cause trouble and investigate the Dragon Guard Manor.

The trouble will be endless; we absolutely cannot let that happen.

"Haitang, what do you think?"

After sending Gui Hai away, Zhu Wushi asked Shangguan Haitang.

Shangguan Haitang volunteered: "Godfather, I am willing to go to the Divine Marquis's Mansion and meet this Lin Bufan."

“I’ll go with you,” Duan Tianya volunteered as well.

Zhu Wushi cupped his hands in greeting, "Go ahead, Cheng Shifei, you go too. You're the most mischievous and naughty, you'll be perfect to teach that Lin Bufan a lesson."

Cheng Shifei was overjoyed. "I've only just become one of the Four Great Secret Agents, and I can already go on missions?"

Shangguan Haitang grabbed Cheng Shifei's ear, laughing and scolding, "Your godfather is training you. You're getting the benefit and you're still acting innocent, aren't you?"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Be gentle, Haitang! If you pull my ear, I'll pull your Duan Tianya's ear instead."

"Are you looking for a beating?"

Shangguan Haitang's face flushed red and then turned pale.

Duan Tianya also looked slightly embarrassed.

"Alright, you three, stop fooling around and get on with the mission."

Zhu ignored the three and turned to go to the An residence.

He wanted to discuss with An Shigeng how to deal with Lin Bufan.

The Eastern Depot.

When Cao Zhengchun heard Zhuge Zheng say that he wanted to invite the Emperor to the Divine Marquis's Mansion, and that Lin Bufan was inside the mansion, he was so shocked that he spat out his tea.

"What did you say? Say it again, let the Emperor see Lin Bufan? That ruthless and bloodthirsty Lin, if something happens to the Emperor, can you take responsibility?"

Two questions in a row stumped Zhuge Zhengwo.

"Well, since the Emperor isn't going, Eunuch Cao, you absolutely must go. Lin Bufan specifically asked to see you."

"Let's go then. Are we afraid of him? We're just worried about not catching him."

Cao Zhengchun led his eight top fighters to the Divine Marquis's Mansion in high spirits.
