Super War God in the City
Chapter 741 - 741: He Who Understands the Times is a Mediocre Type!

"Ruan Yulong, I have other matters to attend to today, you go back first!" Lan Zihan said indifferently.

Her mind was preoccupied with her father's condition. She had been planning to check on Ling Fan and then hurry to the secret chamber, but Lu Tianhe's sudden arrival with accusations had delayed her.

She still had not managed to arrange accommodations for the two of them, so she had no time to deal with Ruan Yulong.

In fact, she felt no affection for Ruan Yulong, even a bit of aversion, especially after meeting Ling Fan.

Comparing the two, she felt more convinced that Ruan Yulong was not the one for her.

Ling Fan was understated and reserved, giving a feeling as if gazing into an abyss, yet was very comfortable to interact with.

On the other hand, Ruan Yulong was showy and extremely egocentric, making interactions feel utterly insipid!

If it were not for the precarious situation of the Wushen Peak lineage and considering her father's difficulties, Lan Zihan would have barely spared him a glance.

Ruan Yulong, upon hearing this, was momentarily stunned, his gaze flashed slightly and swept over Ling Fan and his companion, radiating a few points of icy sharpness.

He had just heard from his subordinates that the Saintess had returned with two unfamiliar men.

Hence, he rushed over, not only to feast his eyes on her beauty and alleviate his longing, but also to see what was the situation with the two men she had brought back!

When he saw Feng Xiaobai, he felt nothing as the kid was just a young brat!

But the quiet young man standing at the side deserved some attention.

"Zihan, no matter how urgent, it won't differ much in this fleeting moment, is there time for a cup of tea, right?" Ruan Yulong said softly, his face showing a hint of displeasure.

He had rushed here today in high spirits, and had severely reprimanded Lu Tianhe, helping Lan Zihan regain some face.

And not even a word of thanks, just dismissing him with a phrase?

Was he being a busybody like a dog who catches mice, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Ling Fan.

"Ling Fan, let's go, I'll arrange accommodations for you. During this period, you will stay in Morning Dew Palace, it's closer to me!" Lan Zihan spoke.

This minor task could have been delegated to a Protector, but Lan Zihan felt it was impolite, and preferred to handle it personally.

However, as soon as she spoke, Ruan Yulong, already disgruntled, froze.

His annoyance evolved into uncontrollable anger, and his expression darkened.

Morning Dew Palace was Lan Zihan's private residence, and she was letting these two fellows stay there? That was not merely "closer"; it was practically the pavilion near the water!

"Zihan, Morning Dew Palace is your private quarters; it seems inappropriate to let two strangers stay there so abruptly!" Ruan Yulong said coldly.

Protector Duan, standing nearby, was also shocked. He hadn't expected the Saintess to make such a decision, clearly embarrassing Ruan Yulong.

"Miss, there is a Hall of Reception designated for accommodating guests, perhaps, it would be better to arrange it there!" Duan Wuqing hesitated.

He was trying to smooth things over. If Ruan Yulong got upset and offended Di Jiang Peak, things could turn nasty.

"Zihan, maybe we should do as Protector Duan suggests. Any place to stay is enough, it's not that complicated!" Ling Fan also spoke up.

He didn't want to inadvertently make enemies over such a trivial matter, seeing Ruan Yulong's demeanor, who seemed like he could eat him alive.

"Fucking hell, you call her Zihan as well?" Ruan Yulong cursed in his heart, his anger flaring up at once.

Lan Zihan's temper also rose; today, in front of Ling Fan, her dignity was truly compromised, and now even arranging a place for them required others' approval, it was simply pathetic.

"The palace chamber is mine, and what, can't I be the master of my own place?" Lan Zihan coldly stated.

The people surrounding them were all startled by these words, never expecting that the Saintess would offend Ruan Yulong for these two Guest Official Protectors.

At that moment, even Lu Tianhe, who had just walked away, unconsciously stopped in his tracks and turned around upon hearing the disturbance.

This guy, with a face full of curiosity, was eager to see what would happen next.

Ruan Yulong, hearing this, was also taken aback. Was the Saintess really willing to offend him because of these two people?

No, to be precise, it was because of that kid, Ling Fan.

"Zihan, I don't know where you met these two, but the world is complex. You are naive as a Saintess; don't be deceived by some unreliable people!" Ruan Yulong's expression turned grim as he glanced at Ling Fan and spoke lightly.

Lan Zihan took a deep breath, her temper rising as well, "Ruan Yulong, you need not worry about this. I have my own judgments, not everyone is as complicated as you think!"

As soon as these words were uttered, many nearby changed their expressions, Lan Zihan's attitude was clear. She would defend Ling Fan and his companion, risking the offense of Ruan Yulong.

"Who exactly are these two guys that the Saintess would protect them so fervently? Does the lady not realize how severe the consequences of offending Di Jiang Peak are?" Duan Wuqing stood nearby, inwardly shocked but unable to interject.

"Damn it, who exactly are these people? They've bewitched the Saintess into making such an unwise move!" someone in the crowd cursed, stomping their foot.

Di Jiang Peak is the most crucial support of the main lineage, and if a rift with Ruan Yulong over these two so-called Guest Official Protectors leads to a rift with Di Jiang Peak, then the main lineage is in jeopardy.

"They say a woman in love has a zero IQ. Has the Saintess lost her mind, or is there some special relationship between her and that boy?" someone muttered to himself.

"Damn it, this bastard dares to seduce our Saintess. It's outrageous, this will plunge our Wushen Peak into irreparable doom!" another person in the crowd exclaimed helplessly, stamping his feet and pounding his chest.

At that moment, Lu Tianhe's lips curled into a cold smirk, exchanging glances with Shu Jin, both appearing quite interested.

The group of four was not in a hurry to leave now, curious to see what excitement would ensue.

Seeing Lu Tianhe and the others stop and turn around, Ruan Yulong's expression darkened, "What now, is there more?"

"Heh, Young Master Ruan, standing here isn't against the law, right?" Lu Tianhe's face stiffened.

Ruan Yulong snorted coldly through his nose and then turned his head to look at Ling Fan and his companion, saying blandly, "Boy, no matter who you are, the Saintess is not for you to covet.

I give you a chance, the wise man knows when to retreat; voluntarily leave the Witchcraft Sect!"

Though Ruan Yulong couldn't do much to Lan Zihan, these two clueless fools, he did not consider them noteworthy at all.

"Ruan Yulong, threatening my friends is a bit too much, Protector Duan, see them out!" Lan Zihan coldly commanded.

Ling Fan had saved her life and, having joined the Witchcraft Sect, he received neither the thanks nor the hospitality he deserved, but instead was subjected to repeated insults and provocations, effectively slapping her in the face as a Saintess.

Thus, even at the risk of offending Ruan Yulong, she couldn't let Ling Fan and his companion suffer neglect and indignity. This was a matter of principle, otherwise, she wouldn't be at peace.

As for how Ruan Yulong felt, she could always personally explain to him afterwards if necessary.

"The wise who know their times are the worst cowards, I enjoy going against the current, if you disagree, speak with fists, not just flapping lips, I won't accept it!" Feng Xiaobai sneered, speaking out.

Seeing someone challenge his leader's authority, he couldn't help himself. If it weren't for Lan Zihan's sake, he would have thrown a punch by now.

"Hiss!"

The watching crowd was again startled, taking a sharp breath in disbelief at the irreverent young man with white hair.

Standing not far off, Lu Tianhe showed his teeth in a grin, unable to help but exclaim, "Damn, that kid has guts!"
