Chapter 462: Chapter 461: Direct Confrontation

Lei Lifei had just finished bandaging his wound when he came out.

Hearing Luo Ning’s words, he smiled and said, "Young Master Lou going mad isn’t something that has happened just once or twice."

He then cast a meaningful glance at Luo Ranran and continued, "If it weren’t for his madness, how else could he treat his own younger sister like that?"

"Perhaps his stepping in to take the blade just now was due to a guilty conscience."

He sighed and added, "That’s why people shouldn’t commit misdeeds, otherwise retribution is unavoidable."

"As Feng Shui Masters, we should believe this even more. I, for one, plan to do more charity work in the future."

The people present were thinking: "...This guy really is a troublemaker, openly stirring up trouble between Young Master Lou and Luo Ranran."

Those who knew about the feud between Lou Yiheng and Luo Ranran somewhat agreed with Lei Lifei’s words.

After all, treating one’s own younger sister like that was no different from being an animal; it was only natural to face retribution.

Those who were unaware of the incident now looked curious.

Had Young Master Lou done something utterly reprehensible to Luo Ranran in the past? Otherwise, why would Lei Lifei say such things?

Luo Ning chimed in, "That goes without saying, those who do nothing wrong aren’t afraid of ghosts knocking on their door. Those who do wrong should prepare for retribution."

"Young Master Lou acting this way, and his small wound driving him into madness, is just retribution without fail."

Tears fell from Luo Ranran’s red eyes.

She also gave a cautious glance at Lou Family Master, her look one of immense grievance, but also of fear to speak out.

Lou Family Master was seething with anger from the combined provocations, his face turning dark and grim, "Yiheng is merely in a bad mood today; don’t you spout nonsense."

He then warned Luo Ning with a look, "Miss Luo, saying too much leads to trouble, and disaster comes from careless talk. You better be careful."

This audacious girl was completely siding with Luo Ranran, which was not a good thing.

Luo Ning snorted coldly, suddenly brandishing a Yin Evil Dagger and pointing it directly at Lou Family Master.

"Lou Family Master, what do you mean by this? Do you think I am easy to bully because I lack a powerful background?"

She exuded a fierce and arrogant aura, "If you’re so capable, then let’s have a battle of skills. I am no pushover to be trifled with."

Luo Ning had a natural aversion to Lou Family Master because of Luo Ranran.

And knowing that he was allied with the International Black Alliance felt even more revolting.

Saying Lou Yiheng had lost his mind wasn’t just her own accusation; Old Lei had said it too.

Yet, Lou Family Master only warned her, apparently because she lacked a powerful background, and he thought he could just push her around.

It was also a warning not to stand up for Luo Ranran.

However, Luo Ning truly feared neither Lou Family nor the Lou Family Master. She wanted to make a statement now; she wasn’t afraid of any aristocratic family or individual.

If anyone wanted to bully her, they had to think twice. She liked to face challenges head-on.

Lou Family Master hadn’t expected Luo Ning to be so defiant and suddenly lash out at him in front of everyone.

His face darkened, "You are out of line."

"And what exactly are you," she retorted, "to reprimand me for being out of line?"

Luo Ning snorted again, "Since Lou Family Master has no shame, I have no reason to show you any respect either."

After saying this, she channeled the evil spirit from the Yin Evil Dagger and attacked Lou Family Master.

Beforehand, she had placed the Thousand-Year-Old Evil Spirit Dagger together with the Yanyue Blade, and it had absorbed no small amount of the blade’s malevolent aura; it was more than enough to teach the Lou Family Master a lesson.

Lou Family Master’s strength was not hidden like Family Head Luo’s; he was indeed much weaker than Luo Ning.

Thus, even though he reacted in time to resist, the evil spirit still penetrated into his body, rendering him immobile as if bound by something.

Then, under the astonished gazes of everyone, Luo Ning kicked Lou Family Master and sent him flying.

Whether by accident or on purpose, the direction in which Lou Family Master was sent crashing down was right towards Lou Yiheng.

Even more coincidentally, he landed directly on top of Lou Yiheng, with his arm inadvertently pressing down on the other’s wound.

The wound, which had just been patched up, burst open and began bleeding again due to the pressure.

"Ah!" Lou Yiheng couldn’t help but cry out in pain.

Seeing this, several elders of the Lou Family rushed to surround Luo Ning, "Luo Ning, you are too bold!"

This damn girl was not only audacious but also extremely arrogant, to dare treat their family head in such a manner.

And just at that moment, Lu Xun arrived with personnel from the special department, pulling out the latest, top-of-the-line gun and aiming it straight at the people from the Lou Family.

Lu Xun said coldly, "Whoever dares to touch a person from my special department should not blame my gun for not having eyes."

This was a new type of handgun he had been involved in developing, not only with a long range and great power but also equipped with locking and spirit-repelling capabilities.

It was specifically made to deal with those unruly Feng Shui Masters.

Lu Xun had used it before in an operation to eliminate the International Black Alliance, and everyone knew of its powerful effect.

Unless one reached the level of Family Head Luo or top-tier clan elders, they might avoid gunshot injuries, but anyone else shouldn’t even think about it.

Moreover, everyone could see that Lu Xun was not joking around; he was serious.

People outside might not know the relationship between Luo Ning and Lu Xun, but they did.

Previously, the two of them had walked arm in arm without avoiding anyone.

At this moment, everyone also understood that Luo Ning had done this deliberately. Verbally claiming to have no backing, but as long as Lu Xun was still the head of the special department, Luo Ning would be protected by it.

Moreover, her own strength was indeed formidable; she had subdued and kicked away the Lou Family Master without even using the Snake King’s strike. Even if she truly had no backing, no one would underestimate her.

When everyone thought about how Luo Ning would soon be leaving with Family Head Luo to return to the island, they also grasped some of her intentions.

She intended to overtly demonstrate her strength to intimidate others, a typical strategy of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

And of course, Lou Family Master had naturally become that very chicken to be killed, impressive!

Family Head Luo had been watching with a cold eye the whole time. Seeing Luo Ning take such actions, he actually appreciated it deep down—arrogant and unrestrained, yet with the strength and backing to protect oneself.

It was just a pity, and his heart was quite conflicted.

At this point, the atmosphere was tense; the people from the Lou Family were the most embarrassed, not daring to confront Lu Xun head-on, and also wary of Luo Ning’s strength. But if they were to simply back down, where would the face of the Lou Family be left?

Continuing this deadlock wasn’t a solution either, so Sikong Wei stepped forward with a smile, "It’s all just a joke, let’s not take it too seriously, this is still a hospital, after all."

"After a busy day, I’m also hungry. I wonder if Minister Lu has arranged any late-night snacks?"

His words were also intended to offer both parties a way out.

There was truly no need to escalate the situation to the point of a skirmish now, but the display from Luo Ning and Lu Xun wasn’t wrong either.

Lou Family Master had underestimated Luo Ning and ended up with his comeuppance as the economic lesson to others.

Since Luo Ning was Lu Xun’s fiancée, Sikong Wei naturally sided with them.

However, as a formality, since the Six Great Families stood united, he also rounded things out for the Lou Family.

When the time actually comes for a fight, the life or death of the Lou Family will have nothing to do with them.

The Lou Family knew all too well that Sikong Wei was giving them a way out, so they all said, "Since it’s like that, we won’t hold it against her for Young Master Sikong’s sake."

They originally wanted to warn Luo Ning, but remembering her earlier confrontational display, they feared provoking her into further trouble, so they held their breath and swallowed the grievance.
