Super War God in the City
Chapter 742 - 742: 742

"It's all over, is this kid seriously brainless?" The onlookers were a bit dumbfounded.

Even Protector Duan was taken aback, looking at Feng Xiaobai with displeasure.

The Saintess was already unhappy with these two and Ruan Yulong; now, adding fuel to the fire recklessly, it was truly infuriating and annoying.

If these two could be a bit more rational and consider the Saintess's position, and humble themselves in front of Young Master Ruan to seek forgiveness, perhaps he would have thought more highly of them.

"Tian He, this kid doesn't seem so annoying anymore, he's kind of cute!" Shu Jin said with a faint, ambiguous smile.

"Hahaha, Young Master Ruan didn't do his bootlicking properly this time, ended up complimenting the horse's hooves!" Lu Tianhe chuckled heartily, his face full of laughter.

Thinking back to how Ruan Yulong was just showing off his superiority in front of him, and now being publicly humiliated by a bratty kid, he felt inexplicably thrilled!

Ruan Yulong, caught off guard by Feng Xiaobai's retort, was momentarily stunned and stood there in shock.

It was Lu Tianhe's piercing ridicule that slowly pulled him back to reality, turning his face into the color of liver!

"Fine fine fine!" Ruan Yulong, regaining his composure with a furious laugh, repeated fine three times.

"Damn it, let's see the truth through fists. You make a lot of sense, don't just stand there farting around, come on out!" Ruan Yulong pointed at Feng Xiaobai and said coldly.

Today, he was completely furious, angrier than he had ever been before, nearly at the brink of explosion.

Lan Zihan's heart skipped a beat, realizing things were going south, her expression changing repeatedly.

She understood Feng Xiaobai's feelings, just like her own.

So, she didn't intend to blame Feng Xiaobai, but if there was to be blame, it could only be on herself for being too weak as a Saintess, having no authority and unable to protect even her friend's dignity.

"Ruan Yulong, Feng Xiaobai is young and speaks without thinking, I apologize to you on his behalf!" Lan Zihan said through clenched teeth.

She wasn't worried about Feng Xiaobai being unable to defeat Ruan Yulong, but she couldn't afford the consequences of a complete fallout with Di Jiang Peak.

So, she had to accept the harsh reality: under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, and a small friction with Ruan Yulong was still tolerable.

If things really turned ugly, it would be troublesome, hence, she had no choice but to bow her head.

"Holy shit, the Saintess is actually bowing to Young Master Ruan for these two idiots?" a disciple from Wushen Peak exclaimed in disbelief, eyes wide.

To everyone else, this was simply incomprehensible.

Even Lu Tianhe, who was watching from a distance for fun, was taken aback, though they had provoked Lan Zihan and challenged the main vein's authority for various reasons.

But Lan Zihan bowing her head to Ruan Yulong for these two strangers right in front of everyone, was another matter entirely, compelling them to be shocked.

Immediately, they turned their gaze to Ling Fan, who had been silent all along, guessing that he was probably involved.

Even if Lan Zihan were lovestruck, she wouldn't fancy that bratty kid, it was most likely because of this young man.

"Huff!"

Ruan Yulong violently exhaled, increasingly furious on top of being shocked.

"Damn it, Lan Zihan actually apologized to me publicly for these two turtles?" Ruan Yulong internally gritted his teeth.

If Lan Zihan hadn't spoken up to apologize, it might have been better, but now, it only fueled the raging anger within Ruan Yulong.

After all these years of devoted admiration for Lan Zihan, had it all been a waste, unable to outweigh the coward before him?

"Haha, not bad at all, I, Ruan Yulong, cannot bear the Saintess's apology; it should be that kid who comes out and apologizes!

Always hiding at the side, what's the meaning of this?" Ruan Yulong sneered coldly, pointing at Ling Fan.

Today, he had made up his mind to utterly humiliate these two under his feet, or he might as well turn his own name upside down!

Seeing Ruan Yulong suddenly turning the spearhead towards Ling Fan, Lan Zihan's heart sank immediately, sensing that the situation was spiraling out of control.

"Ruan Yulong, I've already apologized on their behalf; aren't you being a bit too much!"

Ruan Yulong completely ignored Lan Zihan and stared fiercely at Ling Fan, "Kid, stop faking weakness. Either stand up and fart or get out of the Witchcraft Sect!"

The more Lan Zihan defended, the angrier he got inside.

Facing Ruan Yulong's repeated provocations, Ling Fan still stood there unperturbed, without ever giving a direct glance to the other, as if the guy did not even qualify for his direct attention.

Ruan Yulong's anger flared uncontrollably, like a suppressed volcano, the roaring flames almost erupting.

That was when Feng Xiaobai stepped up, calm and unhurried.

This guy must have been commanded by Ling Fan; otherwise, he wouldn't dare to overstep his boundaries and speak up.

"Sister Lan, as a Saintess, you don't have to be so constrained. From the moment my boss stepped into the Witchcraft Sect, and I was appointed as Guest Official Protector, I guarantee that no one in the Witchcraft Sect will dare to defy you!

No matter what trouble you're in, leave it all to my boss!" Feng Xiaobai declared solemnly.

Feng Xiaobai's words caused a stir among the crowd.

The statement was a bit too bold, not just bold, but reaching the heavens.

Protector Duan was stunned beside them. The Witchcraft Sect had been dealing with its chronic problems for decades, and these two guys showed up asserting they could settle them with just a sentence?

Ling Fan slightly nodded inside, Feng Xiaobai's words were his own covert directive, expressing exactly what he intended!

The advantage of having a subordinate is that many things don't require one's own hands-on involvement, all the minor issues are naturally expressed for him, without degrading his status by dealing with these henchmen.

Ultimately, he'd just need to speak directly with the Sect Hierarch about the terms.

He had been observing the problems that had arisen in the Witchcraft Sect, already discerning quite a bit about them.

If he wanted to deal with the Eight Major Sects, he would need a backer, and he had felt that the Witchcraft Sect was a good choice. The enemy of an enemy is a friend, right!

Before coming here, he was still hesitant about what to negotiate with the Witchcraft Sect, but the current situation presented him with a tremendous opportunity!

He didn't mind offering a favor by helping Lan Zihan's father stabilize the Witchcraft Sect.

Upon hearing Feng Xiaobai's words, Lan Zihan couldn't help but feel a touch of warmth and moved glances at Ling Fan.

The Saintess had indeed been oppressed in the Witchcraft Sect for years, lacking any of the prestige that a Saintess should have.

Individuals like Ruan Yulong, even though they claimed to assist her, had ulterior motives.

Just like earlier, his reluctance to let Ruan Yulong help was exactly for this reason.

It made it seem as though she owed this guy a huge favor, and any slight disobedience would lead to him showing his displeasure, as if she had committed some outrageous acts.

While she was contemplating, Ling Fan's voice faintly echoed in her mind.

"If you trust me, leave it to me to handle. I can also solve your Witchcraft Sect's problems!" Ling Fan transmitted softly, his tone exuding an inexplicable reassurance.

Lan Zihan took a deep breath, looked at Ling Fan, and nodded heavily.

"Hiss!"

In the distance, Lu Tianhe took a sharp breath, his face filled with shock as he looked toward Feng Xiaobai and the other.

As expected, the Saintess had brought back reinforcements, no wonder she was so confident, even daring to challenge Ruan Yulong's authority!

Ruan Yulong was so shocked by Feng Xiaobai's words that he couldn't recover his senses for quite a while. With thousands of disciples in each of the Twelve Peaks of the Witchcraft Sect and Lu Xingyuan of the Half-step Divine Realm at Wushen Peak not having subdued everyone for so many years, these two brash youngsters dared to make such a loud declaration upon their arrival, which was tantamount to seeking death!

PS: Brothers, allow Lord Xinghuo to take a day or two off, then I will revive. I'm cutting into new plots these days, plus it's forty degrees here—it's killing me~~~
