Chapter 223: Chapter 222 Lan Family Crisis

"Ye Jiujun, you’re going to die!"

The elderly man was instantly enraged, his Primordial Qi bursting forth completely!

Primordial Qi Master, Eighth Layer!

The terrifying fluctuations of Primordial Qi, like waves, pushed layer by layer through the space, whipping up a storm around, an invincible killing intent surging towards Ye Jiujun.

At the same time, a black kitchen knife appeared in the old man’s hand, made from a special material, and he chopped down towards Ye Jiujun’s head.

Fast!

Extremely fast!

The speed of this knife was so fast that even the residual image was unclear, chopping a nearby tree in half.

Beside Ye Jiujun and his companions, numerous people’s faces changed color, the closest ones, Ye Jiujun’s servants, were directly shaken to internal injuries, bleeding from the corners of their mouths.

However.

The scorn on Ye Jiujun’s face had not faded.

Not only had it not faded, but it had become even denser, looking at the old man as though he were a dog performing tricks.

At the same time.

He raised his palm to meet it.

"Crack, crack, crack, crack!"

The next instant, the knife was caught in his palm, and with a slight exertion of force, the large kitchen knife was directly crushed!

Fragments of metal scattered all over the ground.

The old man’s knife, shattered.

Just like that, crushed.

Crushed with bare hands!

The sharp knife, made of unknown material, felt like paper, like tofu in Ye Jiujun’s hands, unable to withstand a single blow.

At the same time, Ye Jiujun’s hand had already grabbed the old man’s neck.

Slowly, gradually, he tightened his grip.

In his hand, the old man’s neck began to shrink, and then shrink further, distorting its shape.

"Primordial Qi Master at the Eighth Layer, you think you are strong? Daring to be arrogant in front of me? I tell you, Lan Xiyue is my woman, whoever dares to force her, I dare to kill," Ye Jiujun said, staring at the old man’s increasingly ash-gray eyes, his words harsh, domineering.

The old man struggled, but all his struggles seemed so pale and powerless, ultimately dying at the hands of Ye Jiujun.

Everyone, onlookers from the Lan Family, were stunned by this scene.

A master of Primordial Qi at the Eighth Layer, so weak in front of Ye Jiujun!

This guy, so strong!

Unreasonably strong!

Many people broke out in a cold sweat, utterly not daring to provoke Ye Jiujun anymore.

In a distant villa, a middle-aged man had a strange look in his eyes.

He was the one sent out that night to protect Lin Hao.

Lin Hao had already surprised him.

But unexpectedly, Ye Jiujun was even stronger than Lin Hao, his strength astonishing!

At the same time, at the Lan Family, an elderly man of eighty or ninety years also witnessed this scene, beside him an even older senior and a middle-aged man.

The old man was the former Great General of Huaxia, now the second strongest of the Lan Family, Lan Yuesheng.

Beside him, the older elder was his father, the strongest of the Lan Family, Lan Yunyi.

The middle-aged man was Lan Xiyue’s father, Lan Cangye.

Three generations of the Lan Family were all present here.

They are the most prominent and strongest among three generations.

Even the weakest among them, Lan Cangye, is a peak Primordial Qi Master.

From the strength of these three, one could glimpse the formidable power of the Lan Family.

"Grandfather, would you say the grandson-in-law I’ve found for you is satisfactory?" Lan Cangye asked, eyes fixed on Ye Jiujun in the distance.

"Not bad, very talented. At the age of thirty, his strength has already surpassed yours. Living for over a hundred years, I’ve never seen such talent in the younger generations."

"Father, you shouldn’t speak so lightly," Lan Yuesheng interjected, "I think Mo Feng, Xiyue’s junior, is pretty good, his potential is not inferior to him."

"That’s true, but Mo Feng lacks influence and background; compared to Ye Jiujun, he still falls short," Lan Cangye replied, "Dad, don’t you like this Ye Jiujun?"

"In terms of strength, he’s indeed not bad, but I’ve heard his lifestyle is questionable. He already has five or six wives at home, often seeks affairs, and there are rumors...even of domestic violence. Last month, he beat his senior wife to death."

Lan Yuesheng sighed, "Honestly, I’m against this marriage. If my granddaughter marries him, her future is likely bleak."

"Dad, I’m also reluctant about this but, given the crisis our Lan Family is facing..." Lan Cangye said, "only by marrying into the Ye Family can we resolve it."

"Sigh... If not for this reason, I would’ve strongly opposed it from the start," Lan Yuesheng said.

Lan Yunyi sighed deeply, looking helpless. The Lan Family was facing a monumental crisis, the slightest misstep could lead to their obliteration.

In such times, the only sacrifice could be Lan Xiyue.

Ye Jiujun was the Lan Family’s only lifeline.

The three were burdened with heavy hearts; the marriage was fixed and could not be altered, lest the Lan Family not only face this crisis but also the wrath of the Ye Family, possibly leaving them with no chance of survival.

"How strong Ye is," on the viewing deck, Xiao Rou exclaimed in surprise, "He crushed that old man to death..."

"Yes, very strong," Lan Xiyue murmured to herself.

Yet, in her heart, Lin Hao was the strongest.

No matter how strong Ye Jiujun is, could he cure her illness?

No matter how strong Ye Jiujun is, could he conquer her heart?

Certainly not, none of these feats could be achieved by anyone other than Lin Hao, who could heal her and capture her heart.

As the wedding day drew nearer, her mind was filled with thoughts of Lin Hao.

"Miss, you miss that Mr. Lin so much, why hasn’t he come to stop this marriage? I think, he might not really love you," seeing Lan Xiyue’s demeanor, Xiao Rou knew she was heartbroken and deliberately spoke ill of Lin Hao, hoping to ease her sadness.

"Your suitors at least make a trip to the Lan Family, but this Mr. Lin, shows no response at all," Xiao Rou hummed.

"He... I don’t know if he cares about me or not." If there was anyone in this world Lan Xiyue couldn’t understand, it certainly had to be Lin Hao.

From the beginning, she wanted to get to know Lin Hao, learn about his past, and tease him.

But.

Things went contrary to her wishes.

The longer she interacted with Lin Hao, the less she understood him. That little man was like an extremely complex maze; once she entered, she could never find her way out.

"Miss, do you hope he will come?" Suddenly, Xiao Rou asked.

She nodded, then immediately shook her head.

Deep down, Lan Xiyue hoped for Lin Hao to appear, but given Ye Jiujun, as well as the strength of the Lan Family and the entire Ye Family.

His coming here would be akin to a suicide mission.

She didn’t want Lin Hao to die, especially not for her.

"Xiao Rou, I’m tired, I want to sleep for a while. You go out first," Lan Xiyue said.

"Okay!"

Xiao Rou left the room, Lan Xiyue lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.

As soon as she closed her eyes, Lin Hao’s figure appeared in her mind.

His decisive sword strokes, his expression when angry, his smile when happy...

And then, that day, when she bathed him, his crystalline and robust copper body, and her unintentional fleeting glimpse of...
