Chapter 445: Chapter 444: They’re trying to screw me over!

The next day, around three in the early morning.

Lu Xun drove to pick up Luo Ning, and together they went to that alley near Imperial University.

By the time they arrived, Family Head Luo had also brought people there.

Lu Xun glanced at the time and said, "Family Head Luo, we’ll break the array in fifteen minutes."

The reason they chose this time to break the array was that there were hardly any pedestrians on the streets, and during the day the crowd was too large; breaking the array publicly would be too conspicuous.

Family Head Luo nodded indifferently, "Fine."

Then he swept his gaze over Luo Ning, who was standing beside Lu Xun, and saw something wrapped in yellow cloth on her back.

He frowned and asked, "Why did you bring the Yanyue Blade with you?"

Luo Ning, stifling a yawn, replied, "Because I felt like it."

Family Head Luo: "..."

Luo Ning yawned again, "You guys go ahead and break the array, I need to go back home to sleep afterward."

Family Head Luo couldn’t stand her lack of decorum, which was unbecoming of a lady from a prestigious family, but he thought about it and held back his criticism.

If he said anything to her, she would probably retort immediately.

Fifteen minutes later, Family Head Luo led his people to break the array.

He even called for Luo Ning to help.

He thought of using the array-breaking as an opportunity to get closer to Luo Ning; this time he genuinely had no ulterior motives.

Luo Ning could see through Family Head Luo’s intentions, and she went along to help him.

With Family Head Luo and several elders, as well as Luo Ning’s help, the array was quickly broken.

After breaking the array, the group moved on to the next location.

About an hour later, all the Luck Absorption Arrays laid out around the Imperial Capital were destroyed.

Lu Xun and the others met up with the rest of the Fengshui Families who had stayed in the Imperial Capital.

People from the major families were surprised to see Luo Ning.

Not surprised that she was there, but that she actually brought the Yanyue Blade with her.

Based on their array-breaking situation, there was no need for the Yanyue Blade at all!

Could it be that Luo Ning deliberately carried it just to provoke Family Head Luo?

The more they thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and they couldn’t help but cast sympathetic glances at Family Head Luo.

By this time, it was already past five in the morning.

Lu Xun asked everyone, "Do you want to have breakfast together?"

The people from the Gufengshui Family, wanting to foster a good relationship with Lu Xun, agreed one after another, "Sure."

Just as everyone was about to get in their cars and head to the restaurant Lu Xun mentioned, suddenly a cold wind blew through.

Family Head Luo’s face grew grave, "Someone’s coming."

The others also became vigilant and looked ahead.

Soon, a group of about a dozen people in black robes approached.

The dozen or so people didn’t conceal their faces; half were Huaxia people, and the other half were foreigners.

The one leading was a Huaxia man in his thirties.

He looked at the group with a cold gaze, "You’ve destroyed the array that we painstakingly laid down, and you think you can just leave like that?"

Lu Xun remained silent, so Family Head Luo had to speak up, "Then what do you want?"

The middle-aged man’s gaze settled on Luo Ning, "Leave behind what she’s carrying, and you can leave."

They had not received notice earlier and only found out after the arrays were broken, or they would have definitely gone earlier to stop it.

It was tough to contact the Young Master, but even that was too late.

Coming here now to block their way was also in accordance with the Young Master’s instructions.

Since the array was destroyed, they had to compensate with something, and the value of the Yanyue Blade was immense, which they had had their eyes on for a long time.

Today they didn’t expect Luo Ning to actually bring out the Yanyue Blade, which conveniently gave them an excuse.

Family Head Luo cursed Luo Ning inwardly for being troublesome, wondering why she brought out the Yanyue Blade after breaking the array, as it was like looking for trouble for no reason.

Now, she had attracted their attention.

He could tell that these people dared to intercept them today because they were prepared.

It’s likely they came specifically for the Yanyue Blade.

Seeing that both Luo Ning and Lu Xun were silent, a few sparks of anger ignited in his heart.

The brat was usually quite eloquent, so why did she become mute in front of these people?

All he could do was to face the newcomers and say sternly, "You have the nerve to demand compensation after setting up such a rule-breaking array."

He snorted coldly, "It would be generous not to capture you all and execute you on the spot."

The middle-aged man gestured, and his followers swiftly divided into three groups, taking up positions in a special array formation.

"If you want to capture us and execute us, you’ll have to have the ability to do so first."

After speaking, he bowed respectfully, "Please, Great Onmyoji."

Then an elegant man clad in a white robe and wooden clogs approached from afar.

This was the Great Onmyoji from the Taiyang Country, with a strength comparable to that of the more formidable clan elders of the major families.

And none of the families had brought clan elders with them this time.

The elegant man appeared to be only in his thirties, but everyone knew he was an old fox.

He looked enviously at the Yanyue Blade on Luo Ning’s back, "Indeed, it is the Luo Family’s treasure that guards the homestead; just the aura from afar is refreshing to the soul."

If Luo Ning hadn’t felt an overwhelming evil spirit surrounding the man, she would have thought he was just posturing.

But now it meant he truly found it to be a refreshing experience.

It seemed this guy cultivated with evil spirits, making him both powerful and difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, she had brought the Yanyue Blade with her. Otherwise, if it was left at home and these people came to steal it, Luo Ranran and her mother and brother would be in danger.

He spoke dominantly, "Leave the blade behind, and you may go."

The faces of people from other families looked quite displeased; this man’s strength was greater than anyone present.

The Yanyue Blade was not theirs, and they actually did not care who took it away; they didn’t want to be involved.

But now that everyone had come together and in front of Lu Xun, the head of a special department, they couldn’t just walk away.

So they all turned to look at Luo Ning.

If Luo Ning would willingly give the Yanyue Blade to him, it would save everyone the trouble of having to confront the man.

If this Great Onmyoji hadn’t appeared, they could easily handle those dozen men with no problem.

But now, due to this variable, they had no confidence at all, so everyone didn’t want to face him directly.

Luo Ning saw that everyone was looking at her.

She said innocently, "Why are you all looking at me? The Yanyue Blade is the Luo Family’s treasure. If it’s stolen just like that, where would the Luo Family’s face be?"

She had performed divination before and predicted that the array would be successfully broken, but after that, there would be trouble.

And it had somehow involved her.

Although the divination concerning herself was unclear, Luo Ning had guessed it might be related to the Yanyue Blade.

So she brought it with her and also took the opportunity to set up Old Luo.

She added another sentence, "So, you should really be looking at Family Head Luo."

The people present: "..." So now the Yanyue Blade is the Luo Family’s treasure? Luo Ning didn’t say that when she took it away previously.

Everyone also realized, she was setting up her grandfather!

Just like Luo Yicheng’s daughter, that guy was also fond of sabotaging his own father.

They couldn’t help but cast sympathetic glances at Family Head Luo, thinking with such a son and granddaughter, Family Head Luo must have been wondering what bad deeds he had done in his past life.

Family Head Luo’s face turned instantly dark, and he was so angry he felt like spitting blood. What a curse!
