Ye Qianqian's words caused an uproar among the guests in the banquet hall.
Everyone's eyes were filled with surprise and confusion.
"Just a month ago, Fang Han was a complete idiot, how come he's now caught the eye of Miss Ye? Is he about to transform into the City Lord's son-in-law?"
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but say to the person next to them.
"No wonder Fang Han had the audacity to come to this wedding banquet and openly divorce Su Qianyu. It turns out he had something to rely on."
Another person muttered under their breath, their tone carrying a hint of sudden realization, shaking their head as they spoke, seemingly incredulous at this dramatic turn of events.
"If the City Lord's Mansion and the Wu family really fight, the Wu family might not be able to gain the upper hand. Wu Lei might be crippled today. It's really a sad story."
An old man stroked his beard, his expression solemn.
"Wu Qiang, the patriarch of the Wu family, is an elder of the Qingxuan Sect, while the City Lord's Mansion represents the power of the government. If they really fight, Yanming City will probably be shaken to its core and there will be no peace."
Someone continued, lowering their voice even further.
For a moment, worry appeared on everyone's face, as if they could already see Yanming City descending into chaos.
"That depends on whether Su Qianyu's mother, Ouyang Yan, is really a remnant of the Hehuan Sect. If she is, then the Wu family will be forever branded as colluding with the Hehuan Sect."
A young man frowned and analyzed.
The people in the banquet hall erupted in a frenzy, lowering their voices and whispering amongst themselves.
They were all certain that no matter how powerful Fang Han was, he would be captured by Wu Jianbo and Wu Zhenyu's combined attack, have his dantian ripped out, and die a miserable death by their swords.
But now Ye Qianqian has suddenly appeared and publicly declared that she likes Fang Han, which undoubtedly adds many unpredictable variables to today's heated battle.
“Miss Ye, our Wu family was unaware of Su Qianyu’s actions. If Fang Han had only come here today to divorce Su Qianyu without harming my son Wu Lei, then our Wu family could have given you face and allowed you to take Fang Han away. But now, my son is seriously injured, and I must dig out Fang Han’s dantian to repair my son’s dantian. I hope Miss Ye can understand.”
Wu Jianbo took a step forward, his face grim.
He appeared to be discussing things with Ye Qianqian, but his tone was firm and left no room for negotiation.
After all, Wu Lei is the only son of the younger generation in the Wu family, so how could he easily let go of Fang Han, who injured his son?
"Wu Jianbo, are you trying to make an enemy of the City Lord's Mansion?!"
Ye Qianqian's eyebrows furrowed, her face contorted with anger.
However, she wasn't really sure herself; she was just putting on a brave face and bluffing.
But for Fang Han's sake, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead.
She was worried that Fang Han was no match for the Wu family. Little did she know that Fang Han might not lose even if he fought against a master at the early stage of the Yuan Dan realm.
"Ms. Ye, you can only represent yourself."
Wu Jianbo sneered and said slowly, "The fact that the City Lord is not here does not represent the City Lord's Mansion."
These words struck a nerve with Ye Qianqian, making her face turn even uglier instantly.
"Let's see who dares to lay a hand on Fang Han!"
Ye Qianqian gritted her teeth and drew her sword, but her slightly trembling hand betrayed her inner tension.
“Miss Ye, Fang Han used to be a good-for-nothing and an idiot. He is not good enough for you, and your father would never agree to you being with Fang Han.”
Wu Jianbo looked at Ye Qianqian with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
He had already realized that Ye Qianqian might genuinely like Fang Han, but to say that Fang Han could become the son-in-law of the City Lord's Mansion was, in his opinion, simply a pipe dream.
Thinking about it this way, he became even more certain that Ye Qianqian would not be able to stop the Wu family from taking action against Fang Han today.
Ye Qianqian felt a little flustered.
"Ye Qianqian, with your level of cultivation, you can't help me much, so don't get involved."
Just then, Fang Han spoke up unhurriedly: "You and I aren't even ordinary friends, so don't cause trouble here. Besides, I can easily teach those few people from the Wu family a lesson, so don't get in my way."
"So Fang Han and Ye Qianqian aren't a couple after all."
"Then why would Ye Qianqian help Fang Han?"
"Ye Qianqian probably saw that Fang Han was a medicine man. She may also have a hidden illness, or she wants to use Fang Han as a medicine cauldron to improve her cultivation."
"That's true. Marriage is about matching social status. Although Fang Han's strength has increased dramatically, the Fang family is still far inferior to the City Lord's Mansion."
"Since Ye Qianqian cannot represent the City Lord's Mansion, she cannot stop the Wu family. Fang Han will still die here today, without any suspense."
After hearing Fang Han's words, the guests in the banquet hall began another round of quiet discussion.
“Miss Ye, Fang Han has already said that you two are not a couple. Please move aside. If you don’t move aside, then I will have to offend you.”
Wu Jianbo began to approach Ye Qianqian.
Of course, he wouldn't actually hurt Ye Qianqian; at most, he would press her pressure points to prevent her from protecting Fang Han.
"That's right, how could Fang Han possibly have any romantic feelings for my sister? This guy and I even have a grudge against each other."
Just then, a young man pushed open the door and came to Ye Qianqian's side.
He is Ye Qianqian's older brother, Ye Qianqiu.
He was also released from confinement today. He received a message from his subordinates that Fang Han had come to Lin Yin Pavilion, so he rushed over immediately.
