The commotion here wasn't small, quickly drawing the attention of everyone at the venue.

Surrounded by onlookers, this group of upper-class individuals from Jindu wore amused smiles as they watched the unfolding scene.

On one side were the Xiao Family's eldest daughter, the Fu Family's eldest son, the Yun Family's young miss, and the Mu Family's young master.

On the other were several direct descendants of the Lan Family.

If taken one by one, the Lan Family might be the strongest. But even the powerful Lan Family could not compete with four families combined.

By such a comparison, Lan Hetu and his companions seemed to be at a disadvantage.

"What's going on here? Why has a fight broken out all of a sudden?" someone asked, puzzled.

Someone pointed at Li Xiaoyao, saying, "I heard it's all because of that kid."

"No idea who that kid is, but he seems to have some significant backing," another commented.

"Isn't that obvious? Didn't you see all four major families standing up for him? It would be weird if his background wasn't substantial."

"Hehe, looks like there's some entertainment to watch."

Lan Hetu was having trouble saving face; he originally planned to teach Li Xiaoyao a lesson in front of Xiao Ya. However, he hadn't expected things to turn out this way, which was truly frustrating.

If it had been just the Yun Family, or even the Mu or Fu Family alone, he wouldn't have been afraid.

But now, with these families banding together, the Lan Family seemed somewhat insignificant by comparison.

"What's happening over there?" Lan Shili, who was chatting and laughing with Zheng Bihui, raised an eyebrow and spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"I'll go check." An attendant walked over swiftly, returning a short while later with a frown to relay the sequence of events.

After listening, Lan Shili frowned, offering Zheng Bihui an apologetic smile, saying, "Such a group of youngsters has made a fool of themselves in front of the Family Head of the Zheng Family."

Zheng Bihui shook his head, unconcerned, "It's normal for young people to have conflicts with each other. Let's go over and take a look."

Thus, Zheng Bihui, escorted by Zheng Fengfeng, and Lan Shili, followed by Lan Cai, walked over.

"Make way, make way, the Lan Family's second-in-command and the Head of the Zheng Family are coming."

"Ah, that just spoils the fun. I wanted to watch a good show," someone in the crowd lamented.

Ever since leaving Ling City, Lan Cai had always kept Li Xiaoyao on her mind, fantasizing about the day they would meet again.

Unfortunately, she couldn't control how things unfolded, and she was unwilling to contact Li Xiaoyao herself; doing so would only put him in harm's way.

So her love remained hidden deep within her heart, waiting for time to heal.

"What is the matter?" Lan Hetu stepped forward, his tone calm and authoritative.

Seeing their backbone arrive, the younger members of the Lan Family stood tall and proud, "Yun Yue beat up my little sister."

Lan Xinyu added from the side, "She hit her face."

Yun Yue and her companions folded their arms, looking nonchalant, not taking Lan Shili seriously in the slightest.

"Hit her face?" Lan Shili's expression darkened slightly.

Yun Yue snorted, "She deserved it."

"Daughters and sons of my Lan Family aren't just anyone you can hit. Girl of the Yun Family, don't think that just because you have the Yun Family backing you up, my Lan Family won't dare to touch you," Lan Shili fumed internally. The adage goes 'to beat someone is bad enough, but to slap their face is a grave insult'. Although Yun Yue was a girl, by slapping Lan Lan's face, she had slapped the face of the entire Lan Family.

This insult was intolerable!

Lan Shili raised his hand, commanding, "Hetu, seize her. However she hit a member of my Lan Family, you hit her back the same way."

As these words were uttered, the crowd erupted into murmurs.

Setting aside the fact that Yun Yue had the Yun Family behind her, she was just a girl. Lan Shili's actions were somewhat contemptible.

Lan Shili didn't see it that way. His actions were meant to preserve the honor of the Lan Family, to let everyone know that, even in its current state, the Lan Family was not to be insulted by just anyone.

"Yes, uncle Lan Hetu," Lan Hetu's eyes flashed as he reached out to grab Yun Yue.

"Get lost!"

Just at that moment, Li Xiaoyao stepped forward and kicked viciously at Lan Hetu's stomach, sending him flying.

Li Xiaoyao's kick left everyone in shock.

At that moment, a startling thought arose in everyone's mind.

Who was this young man, to dare to treat a member of the Lan Family with such disrespect?

Without a doubt, after that kick, Li Xiaoyao had instantly become like fire and water with the Lan Family.

Seeing this familiar figure, Lan Cai couldn't help but cover her red lips gently, her eyes wide open with disbelief.

On the other hand, Lan Shili's face turned gloomy, almost dripping with anger.

"Big brother!"

Lan Xinyu and Lan Lan quickly ran over to help Lan Hetu up.

Not far away, Lan Qiniang and Xu Wan, who had been chatting with others, saw what happened. After a half-second of stunned silence, they immediately realized what was going on and rushed over.

"Hetu, Hetu!" Lan Qiniang, the third son of the Lan Family, looked at his unconscious son, a surge of anger rising in his heart.

"Who did it, who hurt my son?" Lan Qiniang angrily looked around while Xu Wan also showed a hint of anger on her face.

"Uncle Lan, Auntie Xu, it was that man who hurt Big Brother Hetu," Lan Lan pointed towards Li Xiaoyao, who stood opposite Lan Shili, cold and indifferent, like a sharp long spear.

"Bastard!" Lan Qiniang put down his son and quickly approached, glaring at Li Xiaoyao: "I don't care who you are or what background you have, I will make you pay for what you've just done!"

Xu Wan trembled imperceptibly upon seeing Li Xiaoyao.

"It's him! Why is he here?" Xu Wan's memory of Li Xiaoyao was still fresh.

Everything that had happened in Ling City seemed to pass before her eyes like yesterday.

Facing the Lan Family's wrath, Li Xiaoyao said indifferently, "My name is Li Xiaoyao. If you wish to come at me, feel free."

"My hero is so handsome! My girlish heart is about to explode," Yun Yue said, her eyes sparkling.

Fu Xiaosheng also looked on with admiration, "Uncle Li is truly domineering. I want to be just like him in the future."

Behind Zheng Bihui, Zheng Fengfeng's frail body trembled slightly.

Looking down, Zheng Fengfeng's eyes filled with fear: "Wasn't he killed? Didn't Grandpa Yang have him killed? Why is he here?"

Li Xiaoyao's gaze slowly shifted towards Lan Cai, and under the astonished gaze of the crowd, he extended his right hand, his voice gentle as he said, "Come with me."

"What!"

"He knows Lan Cai?"

"My God, is he going to take Lan Cai away in public?"

"With Zheng Fengfeng, Lan Cai's fiancé, right there, if this guy really takes Lan Cai away today, the Lan Family and Zheng Family will likely lose face and become laughingstocks in the upper circles."

Behind him, Xiao Ya, watching this scene, felt a deep envy.

She wondered when she would have a man who would treat her the same as Li Xiaoyao.

"Damn, Uncle Li came to snatch the bride today, he is so domineering!"

Mu Ming's eyes widened: "Uncle Li is awesome, completely disregarding the Zheng and Lan Families."

From a distance, the eldest apprentice brother sitting with Liu Chengxiang glanced over here and said, "Master, what he's doing will completely offend the Lan and Zheng Families to death."

Liu Chengxiang put down his teacup and said indifferently, "Offending them is offending them. Would Xuan Sect ever fear a few mortal families?"
