Cen Yi’s expression instantly became subtle. His narrow, indifferent eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to smile. “There’s only a quarter of an hour between the two parties’ arrival, so that makes sense.”
Chu Liuyue instantly understood what he meant. She frowned and sneered. “So the Yi family also wants to get involved.”
Rong Xiu also walked over. “The two families aren’t close. In the past few years, their interactions with each other have been rare.”
Chu Liuyue was even more certain of her guess. It seems that these two families have indeed joined forces… However, the Yi family has no apparent conflict of interest with us. The Nan family must’ve instigated them to do this.
“It seems that Nan Yifan isn’t without scruples.”
At the very least, the Yi family had been dragged in to provide support. In order to rope in this ally, he had probably… made a lot of sacrifices.
Chu Liuyue found it ridiculous. It was obvious that the Nan family was in the wrong and had offended us first. Now, they actually had the cheek to come again. They even pulled in allies.
“There are 24 people from the Nan family. Among them, including Nan Yifan, there are a total of eight legendary warriors. The Yi family has 18 people, but ten legendary warriors have come—that’s more than half.”
Cen Yi’s voice was as calm as ever. “They’re all gathered outside the barrier now to confront our people and ask you and His Highness to appear.”
Chu Liuyue nodded. “We’ll go now.”
They are waiting… for us! I want to see who dares to bully me!
There were a total of 18 legendary warriors in these two families.
One had to know that ordinary first-rate families usually only had five to six legendary warriors, and they had actually respectively sent so many people to suppress Peach Blossom Dock! It could be seen that their family background was indeed extremely strong!
Still…
This time, it was unknown who would have the last laugh!
…
Outside the barrier of Peach Blossom Dock.
The Nan family and the Yi family were on both sides.
There was a distance between them.
The relationship between the two families was indeed subtle, especially at this moment, when they had both come to Peach Blossom Dock.
Other than Nan Yifan and Yi Wentao, the others were unaware of the alliance. Therefore, when the two sides met, most people were still extremely vigilant toward each other.
Nan Yifan and Yi Wentao greeted each other politely. After saying that their targets this time were both Rong Xiu and her, they began to wait separately.
The atmosphere was tense.
At the city gate, the team of guards in charge of guarding the city were also 120% focused as they stared at the Nan and Yi families.
In the Yi family’s crowd, someone couldn’t help but whisper, “I didn’t believe those rumors previously. But from the current situation, Peach Blossom Dock has probably completely fallen into the hands of Shangguan Yue and the others… In the past, Peach Blossom Dock had always been free to enter and leave. When was there anyone guarding it!?”
“That’s right! And did you notice that this barrier seems to be different… Those guards in charge of guarding also seem to be loyal… When has such a scene ever happened in Peach Blossom Dock?”
“I think that rumor is really trustworthy… I wonder how they did it?”
The crowd debated softly.
They previously didn’t believe it, but now that they had seen it with their own eyes, they couldn’t help but doubt it.
These guards looked different from those who had been properly trained. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were ‘freelance soldiers.’ However, the auras on these people didn’t seem weak!
More importantly, their expressions were surprisingly identical.
“If you dare to come in, we’ll beat you to death!”
They really are guarding Peach Blossom Dock!
Yi Wentao and Nan Yifan watched from the side and quietly glanced at each other. They could also see some vigilance in each other’s eyes.
Before they came, they all thought that Rong Xiu would directly get his men to do it.
These were clearly not his soldiers, but these people were surprisingly united! It was as if guarding Peach Blossom Dock was their greatest responsibility!
Moreover, they were very respectful to Chu Liuyue!
Who in the entire God Residence Realm didn’t know that there were all kinds of people at Peach Blossom Dock? To be able to lead these people… The methods involved were truly shocking and unsettling!
Yi Wentao placed his hands behind his back. He vaguely felt that things seemed to be different from what he had expected.
If there are more such people in Peach Blossom Dock… In that case, it won’t be so easy to take down Peach Blossom Dock.
…
Nan Yifan didn’t think too much about it.
He had come with the intention of burning his bridges! Therefore, even if Peach Blossom Dock was difficult to deal with, he would never turn back!
There was no turning back!
He glanced up at the sky and grimaced without amusement. “We’ve been here for a long time. Why is it so slow for you to send a message? Or is there someone who’s afraid and doesn’t dare to come out? The dignified His Grace and Princess Consort of the Sky-Cloud Empire are actually so cowardly?”
A guard took a step forward and said coldly, “Watch your words!”
These two aren’t people they can offend!
At the same time, the people behind him drew their swords!
Nan Yifan couldn’t help but frown. These people look like they come from all walks of life, but why do they seem to be very protective of those two?
However, this thought only flashed through his mind.
He coldly scolded, “I’m just telling the truth. Is this not enough? Rong Xiu and Shangguan Yue harmed my son and the elders of the Nan family! My Nan family must get back at them today!”
The guards looked at each other solemnly.
Nan Yuxing and the others did indeed die at their hands… It’s reasonable that the Nan family would come to collect the debt.
A moment later, a guard sneered. “Didn’t they ask for it? If not for their various coercion and relentless pursuit, why would Master Yue attack them?! They only have themselves to blame!”
Nan Yifan, Yi Wentao, and the others were stunned. Princess Yue? Is he talking about… Chu Liuyue? Hearing this, they seem to respect and admire Chu Liuyue more than Rong Xiu?
At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice sounded. “I’m sorry for not welcoming you when you’re here.”
Everyone looked over in unison!
From inside the city gates, two people were walking out hand in hand.
The person who spoke was indeed Chu Liuyue!
