Chapter 1492: Chapter 1490: Are You Blind? Get Out of My Way!

Lan Yunwei’s heart suddenly surged with anger.

"Please go back?"

She coldly repeated, a contemptuous smile curling at her lips.

"Are you blind, can’t you see who I am? You actually dare to tell me to leave. This is Wenyu City, the place of the Lan Family! This is my brother’s residence, I can enter whenever I want, let’s see if you dare stop me!"

The roar was like thunder, an outburst of rage.

Lan Yunwei was truly angry; in Wenyu City, no one had ever dared to speak to her in such a tone.

And it was from an insignificant pawn!

Actually telling her to leave?!

What a joke!

Her fury burned fiercely, murderous intent surging, not saying another word, she directly rushed towards the residence, refusing to believe these trifling guards would actually dare block her path.

Lan Yunwei glared viciously at the guards blocking the way and charged past.

However.

The guards did not give way, still standing with their swords held horizontally, blocking the path. Even as Lan Yunwei approached, they neither retreated nor stepped aside.

"Miss, please forgive us; it’s the young master’s orders. Please don’t make it difficult for us, we genuinely cannot let you in."

This made Lan Yunwei absolutely furious!

These guys were unmoved by both force and persuasion, refusing her entry no matter what. There was definitely something fishy going on; otherwise, why wouldn’t they let her in?

In the past, when she came to see Lan Zhengqing, she had never encountered such a situation before.

Something abnormal must be happening.

"Good dogs don’t block the way, move aside now, don’t force me to get physical."

"Miss, please go back."

The guard, like a broken record, kept repeating the same words, his face utterly expressionless.

Lan Yunwei was hopping mad, unable to suppress her inner fire of anger.

She was already feeling anxious inside.

If Tian Lu wasn’t lying, then Lin Fan was in Lan Zhengqing’s hands; moreover, the two gatekeepers earlier confirmed that Zhu Ruoling and the Divine Phoenix had also entered with Lan Zhengqing.

And Lan Zhengqing had ordered guards to stand watch at the residence gate, allowing no one to approach.

What exactly was Lan Zhengqing up to? Acting all secretive and sneaky, like he was afraid others would find out.

If he was about to do something wrong, as his elder sister, how could she just stand by? She had to pull him back to the right path.

But these people were blocking her way.

If Lan Zhengqing truly strayed, he would be ruined by this bunch of useless fools!

The more Lan Yunwei thought, the angrier and more anxious she became. She was worried about Lin Fan’s safety and also feared that Lan Zhengqing would do something foolish. Driven by urgency, she raised her hand and slapped the guard’s face.

Smack!

The guard’s face instantly turned bright red, burning like it was on fire, displaying five clearly defined fingerprints, just looking at it seemed painful.

Yet.

He remained standing like nothing had happened, unmoving, his expression unchanged, his breathing steady.

"Move!"

"Miss, I’m sorry, I can’t let you through."

"Are you seeking death?!"

"It’s the young master’s orders; I have no choice."

"So, you won’t follow my orders?!"

"..."

The guard remained silent, the answer was obvious. They were sworn to serve Lan Zhengqing unto death and naturally wouldn’t heed Lan Yunwei’s commands. Although they were siblings, since Lan Zhengqing declared no one could enter, Lan Yunwei was included, and the guard certainly didn’t dare let her in.

"Move aside."

Lan Yunwei lost all patience, her voice cool and menacing, her expression brutal and malevolent as if she was about to go on a killing spree.

The guard gently shook his head.

Zhu Qilue, watching from the side, took a deep breath, a fierce and aggressive aura rising all around him.

"Miss Lan, it seems they won’t respond to your command. If that’s the case, then don’t blame me for being impolite—I can only take action against your clan members. After all, my sister’s life is uncertain inside; I cannot wait any longer."

As he said this, his sharp gaze fell upon the guard.

"I’ll count to three, if you haven’t moved aside."

"Heads will roll."

Zhu Qilue slammed Tian Lu onto the ground, raising a foot to crush Tian Lu’s knee.

"Ah——"

A hysterical scream erupted, shaking the heavens and earth.

Tian Lu clutched his knee, rolling on the ground, his expression twisted in immense pain, utterly miserable!

The guards watched, eyes inevitably filled with a hint of fear, yet they remained completely still.

"Three."

"Two."

A tense atmosphere instantly pervaded the air, the situation electric, on the verge of eruption.

Zhu Qilue clenched his fists, faint flames flickering around his hands, beginning to ignite around his arms bit by bit.

A murderous aura engulfed everyone.

The guards were suddenly tense, their hands gripping the blades tightly, palms sweating, their eyes hardened, ready to face death.

"One!"

As soon as the word fell.

Zhu Qilue immediately made his move! A fist swung out, a dragon of fire instantly leapt from his arm, claws bared, roaring and surging toward the guards.

"Brother?!"

At that moment, a familiar voice entered Zhu Qilue’s ears.

But he couldn’t halt his actions.

With a fist thrust, the earth shook.

Boom!

The guards in front, unable to react, were immediately blasted away, crashing chaotically to the ground, groaning ceaselessly.

However.

Zhu Qilue didn’t follow up with another attack, instead quickly looking towards the direction the voice came from.

"Ling’er!"

On the steps, it was Zhu Ruoling walking out from the residence.

She had just been inside with Lan Zhengqing but was coaxed out, and now, reaching the residence’s entrance, saw the scene unfold.

"Brother!"

Zhu Ruoling’s heart filled with joy as she hurried over to Zhu Qilue.

Though she usually looked down on Zhu Qilue, he was still her family, and no deeper bond existed.

She ran over, throwing herself into Zhu Qilue’s arms.

"Brother! Are you okay, you’re not dead... I thought you were dead! Waaaa... it scared me to death... those Blood Demon Wolves were so terrifying... Brother, it’s a relief you’re okay..."

After inspecting Zhu Qilue and finding no wounds, she began to cry, tears streaming down her face.

Zhu Qilue, seeing Zhu Ruoling unharmed and seemingly unhurt, also felt relieved, exhaling a long breath.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine. What about you? You’re alright, right? Lan Zhengqing didn’t do anything to you, right?"

Zhu Ruoling looked at Zhu Qilue, perplexed, blinking. "Brother, what do you mean by that? What would Brother Zhengqing do to me?"

"It’s fine then." Zhu Qilue frowned slightly, was he overthinking it? Did Lan Zhengqing really just bring Zhu Ruoling and the Divine Phoenix back to ensure their safety, nothing more? Could it really be that he had no ulterior motive?

"Brother!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ruoling pushed Zhu Qilue away, her lips pouting in a fit.

"Why do you always misunderstand Brother Zhengqing? If he hadn’t acted in time, Sister Divine Phoenix and I would have perished to the claws of the Blood Demon Wolves. How can you not only refuse to thank him but also doubt him!"

"I wasn’t..."

"Hmph!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Zhu Ruoling pouted, turning her head away, not wanting to hear Zhu Qilue’s explanation.

Zhu Qilue glanced helplessly at Lan Yunwei, shrugged, and sighed.

Lan Yunwei looked past Zhu Ruoling, seeing only a petrified guard, and no one else.

Not a trace of Lin Fan was seen.

"Ling’er, do you recognize me?" Lan Yunwei asked flatly.

As Zhu Ruoling turned, she noticed Lan Yunwei standing next to Zhu Qilue, and exclaimed in surprise. "Sister Yunwei, what are you doing here?! Are you here for Brother Zhengqing? But he’s really busy right now; he might not have time to see you, I was just turned away when I went to see him."

She bounced over, taking Lan Yunwei’s arm.

"Busy? With what?"

"I don’t know... But it seemed like something urgent, because he looked a bit anxious."
