A whistling sound of fists rang out.
A piercing scream echoed from the small courtyard.
In a moment, Mu Zian raised his hand and broke the last strong man's two legs.
Looking at the burly men lying haphazardly on the ground in all sorts of bizarre positions, Mu Zian was quite satisfied.
Lu Ming was stunned, only feeling a dry and itchy throat. At this moment, he could not even feel the pain in his legs.
Looking at Mu Zi'an, the only one still standing, he screamed as if he had seen a ghost.
"Mu Zi'an, you...you know martial arts!?"
Mu Zian smiled at Lu Ming.
"Can't you tell?"
At this moment, Mu Zian's smile appeared to Lu Ming as a hideous and terrifying demon crawling out of hell.
"You...you stay away!"
At this moment, Lu Ming was no longer as arrogant as before, and he said in a trembling voice.
"If you dare touch me, I'll make sure my sister never speaks to you again! You can forget about marrying my sister!"
With a bright smile on her face, Mu Zi'an walked towards Lu Ming step by step.
"Oh, Lu Yunxue and I broke up a long time ago! Did your sister forget to tell you?"
"...cut in two? Impossible! You're lying! You must be lying to me, right?!"
"You clearly love my sister so much! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Over the years, Mu Zian has sacrificed everything for Lu Yunxue, even giving up his position as Duke of Zhenguo.
Others may not know, but Lu Ming knows best just how crazy Mu Zi'an's love for his sister is.
However, looking at Mu Zian's bright smile at this moment, without the slightest bit of sadness, how could he possibly look like he had just lost his beloved?
Seeing Mu Zian approaching him step by step, Lu Ming scrambled to his feet.
"Don't think you can fool me! I'm going back right now and telling my sister! You're a heartless wretch!"
As Lu Ming uttered threats, he limped out, making sure to pick up the door from the ground and put it back securely.
"Mu Zi'an, you just wait!"
Lu Ming and his gang of lackeys scrambled out of the yard in a sorry state.
A gentle breeze caressed his face, and Mu Zi'an felt a sense of joy.
After being a simp for so long, I almost forgot what it feels like to be a human being.
They're back, they're all back.
As the number one young master of Dali, being arrogant and domineering is exactly what he should be doing!
......
The pitiful Lu Ming was carried back to the Lu residence.
As soon as he got home, he rushed to his grandmother.
"Grandmother! You must stand up for me! Tell my sister to teach that Mu Zi'an a lesson!"
Grandma Lu, who had finally caught her breath, felt her heart break when she saw her beloved grandson limping towards her.
"Oh dear, my good grandson, what happened to your leg?"
Lu Ming threw himself in front of his grandmother, tears streaming down his face.
"Grandmother, has Xue'er really severed all ties with Mu Zi'an?"
The moment she heard the name Mu Zian, Grandmother Lu felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Why are you asking this? And what happened to the injury on your leg? Shouldn't you be following Master Li to learn swordsmanship at this hour?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming cried even more bitterly.
“I...I am no longer Master Li’s disciple.”
Grandmother Lu was startled.
"What! What exactly happened?"
Lu Ming embellished his story of being fired by Li Jiuxuan that day and then going to find Mu Zian.
He especially emphasized the incident of being beaten up by Mu Zi'an.
Upon hearing that her eldest grandson had gone to confront Mu Zi'an and ended up having his leg broken by Mu Zi'an, the grandmother of the Lu family was instantly enraged.
"What! This Mu Zi'an is truly abusing his power! He pulled strings behind the scenes to get Li Jiuxuan to expel you from the sect, and you even got your leg broken when you argued with him! How can there be such a vicious person in this world!"
In the eyes of the Lu family grandmother, the only person who could truly inherit the Lu family's legacy was Lu Ming, since a man was the only one who could continue the family's lineage.
Although Lu Yunxue has achieved great success, she is ultimately a woman and cannot be relied upon. In the future, the Lu family will still have to rely on Lu Ming to inherit it.
Right now, with the next martial arts examination in Dali just around the corner, his most promising grandson has been expelled from the sect at this crucial moment, and his leg has been broken. This is simply ruining the future of the Lu family!
Grandmother Lu was so angry that her hair was practically standing on end.
He immediately shouted to the butler.
"Go and fetch Lu Yunxue for me."
The butler seemed somewhat embarrassed.
"Grandmother, Miss is currently in the military camp. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for her."
Grandmother Lu was furious upon hearing this.
"What is she doing spending all her time in the military camp? Besides, what could be more important than the future of the Lu family?"
"That heartless bastard Mu Zi'an! All those good words I said to him back then were for nothing! If I don't teach him a lesson today, how can the Lu family maintain its standing in the capital! Bring her back here right now!"
The housekeeper had no choice but to comply.
Half an hour later, Lu Yunxue, dressed in military attire, rode back to the Lu residence.
When he saw Lu Ming's miserable state, he was also shocked.
"Brother, you're saying Mu Zi'an did this?"
Lu Ming, who was lying on the bed, kept groaning in pain.
"My dear sister! You must stand up for your brother! That Mu Zian has gone too far! Look at my leg, if it can't be healed, I'm afraid I'll become a cripple."
