After a period of recovery, Wang Yufan stood up. He felt it was time to leave, but he needed to bid farewell to the woman named Li Ying. After all, he had been picked up by her, so saying goodbye seemed appropriate.

Wang Yufan slowly pushed open the door, looked at the unfamiliar courtyard, and subtly used his divine sense to perceive his surroundings, eventually finding a path leading outside.

However, just as Wang Yufan was about to move, he heard an argument in another part of the residence, and among the voices was that of the woman he had just met. Wang Yufan, feeling a bit curious, walked towards the source of the sound.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Li residence.

A middle-aged man, exuding an aura of authority, looked extremely angry.

"Ying’er, do you know the consequences of your actions? Our Li residence will become a laughingstock in Qingcheng. This concerns not only my reputation but also the reputation of our entire Li residence."

"Father, I did nothing wrong! This was something you discussed with the Wang family head before. Why must you treat me as an object of your transaction? I don’t understand," Li Ying said, her face streaked with tears.

"Alas, although I am the head of the Li residence, there are some matters I cannot decide on my own. You should know that there is also a City Lord in Qingcheng. It’s not that your father is heartless; it’s truly due to unavoidable circumstances that I promised the Wang family head to marry you to his son once you came of age. You’re almost eighteen now, so I cannot break my promise," the middle-aged man said.

"Hahaha, I understand! I knew you were this kind of father! You must have heard what kind of person the Wang family head’s son is. Do you really have the heart to hand me over to him? I truly don’t want a father like you," Li Ying said.

Hearing Li Ying’s words, the middle-aged man felt a bitter taste in his heart. How could he not know? It was just that the other method was too difficult. Because when he was severely injured and on the verge of death, the Wang family head gave him an ancestral pill, which saved his life. But his severe injury was sustained while protecting the Wang family head.

He blamed himself for his loose tongue back then, for speaking with the Wang family about their children eventually marrying. Now, eighteen years have passed, and everyone changes. The Wang family head, with the support of the City Lord’s mansion, increasingly looked down on their own Wang family. And he was not unaware of the Wang family son’s character. But they all knew he had a daughter of breathtaking beauty.

And when the Wang family head’s son learned that he had such a beautiful woman, he couldn’t wait to run to the Li residence every day, but he had declined him with various excuses.

As the head of the Li residence, the middle-aged man also had a pounding headache.

Just as he was deep in thought, a voice drifted in from the doorway.

"As her father, you are truly unqualified. To push your own daughter into a pit of fire."

Hearing this voice, Li Ying and the middle-aged man both looked over. Li Ying was momentarily stunned when she saw Wang Yufan.

"Who are you? What business do you have in my Li residence?" the middle-aged man asked.

Before Wang Yufan could speak, Li Ying began, "Father, this person is my friend. I just brought him back from outside."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man’s eyes suddenly turned cold and he said:

"Ying’er, you know that our Li residence never allows outsiders here, don’t you? Moreover, is he truly your friend? What if he harbors ill intentions?"

"Hmph, what do you mean by harboring ill intentions? Do you think I’m interested in Li Ying, or are you just spouting nonsense as an unqualified father?" Wang Yufan didn’t tolerate the middle-aged man’s words.

When Li Ying heard Wang Yufan’s words, her heart instantly leaped into her throat. She knew her father’s temper.

As expected, in the very next moment, the middle-aged man directly struck out and said:

"What an unbridled madman with a loose tongue! Let me throw you out of our Li residence. Be more careful where you step in the future."

Wang Yufan narrowed his eyes upon seeing this.

"This is the God Venerable Realm. As expected of the Primordial Spirit Realm; even the head of a small city’s residence can reach this realm. It seems I haven’t come to the wrong place after all. Although my current strength is only at the early True Immortal Realm, challenging him across ranks shouldn’t be a problem, right?" Wang Yufan thought to himself, simultaneously launching a punch of his own. Although Ni Chang’s cultivation realm had fallen, his physical strength remained.

With a "boom,"

Fists and palms met, and a terrifying force instantly shattered all the surrounding tables and chairs. Li Ying, who possessed the True Immortal Realm, was also forced to retreat directly by this power.

"How is this possible? Butler Fu said his strength was only minimal. How can he unleash such a powerful force?" Li Ying mumbled in a daze. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The middle-aged man, who was directly involved, discovered that Wang Yufan remained rooted to the spot, not moving an inch under his palm strike, and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

Just then, dozens of guards from the Li residence, hearing the commotion, rushed over and surrounded Wang Yufan. The leader was none other than Butler Fu. Upon seeing the situation, Butler Fu quietly asked Li Ying about what happened. Li Ying briefly explained the situation, then her eyes fixed intently on the white-robed Wang Yufan.

"Good lad, your strength is impressive! Coming to my Li residence with such strength, do you still dare to say you have no ulterior motives?" the middle-aged man said.

Butler Fu then said to the middle-aged man, "Master, this is my fault. I shouldn’t have brought this person back. Miss’s kindness, I didn’t expect to save such a malevolent fellow."

Hearing this, Wang Yufan’s face instantly darkened, and he spoke:

"Hey, hey, hey, old man, who are you calling malevolent? I haven’t stolen, I haven’t robbed, I haven’t committed any crimes, and I haven’t cheated anyone. On what basis do you say that? Look at your age, old man, be careful not to step in dog poop when you go out. I merely spoke my righteous words out of consideration for your young lady bringing me back, and your so-called family head threw a tantrum. Tsk tsk tsk, truly remarkable."
