“An Shaoning!” Lou Xiaoxiao finally came back to her senses. “This is none of your business. Leave now!”
“I don’t care if it’s my business or not. Lou Xiaoxiao, we’ll talk about the two of us later. Right now…” An Shaoning glanced at Master Yinguo’s butler. “May I know what your decision is? Do you want to fight it out or seek a truce?”
Hearing these words, everyone looked at An Shaoning as if he were a fool.
“Is there something wrong with this man? Both Third Royal Highness and Fourth Royal Uncle want to oppress Lou Xiaoxiao. Yet he still dares to try to rescue her? Is he someone from the Royal An Family? Even if he is, he shouldn’t have the courage to take action.”
“Furthermore, the An Family is such an influential family. How is it possible that they have a useless descendant who can’t even cultivate? Look at him. Look at his crippled meridians. Even if he’s really from the An Family, he’s probably not an important figure, right?”
“Yeah. If I were the head of the An Family, I’d not oppose Third Royal Highness just for a useless piece of trash like him.”
A vicious expression appeared on the face of Master Yinguo’s butler. “Bastard, I’m in a bad mood today. I didn’t want to bother myself with you, but you’re still trying to provoke us.”
With a smirk, he then raised his chin and pointed toward the juniors of the Lou Family. His men were still restraining the Lou Family juniors by their necks. “Do you want them to die? Hmph! If you’re the reason they die, Lou Xiaoxiao will hate you forever. Isn’t that right?”
“Are you threatening me?” An Shaoning gently smiled. “Looks like you’re planning to fight. Since that’s the case…”
Just as his voice fell…
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A few burly figures appeared out of nowhere, and before anyone could react in time…
Boom!
The sound of something slashing people’s chests entered everyone’s ears.
“Since that’s the case, let’s fight!”
This chain of events had left everyone baffled. They had yet to figure out what had happened when the hands of the men restraining the Lou Family juniors slumped all of a sudden.
At the same time.
Bang!
Their bodies toppled to the ground.
In just the blink of an eye, the men holding the Lou Family juniors hostage had died!
Everyone loudly gasped. They widened their eyes in shock and looked at the scene in disbelief…
“What’s happening?”
“What’s this?”
They fell into a daze and became unable to regain their senses.
“Lou Qing, Lou Han, bring everyone back to the Imperial Academy first. They won’t dare to touch you inside the academy!” An Shaoning calmly instructed the dazed and terrified Lou Family juniors.
The trembling juniors regained their senses. Then, they spun around and ran toward the academy.
“You bastard! How dare you? How dare you kill them?”
The butler’s eyes gradually became bloodshot. He furiously yelled, “Everyone, attack! Stop them!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The butler’s men started to move.
However…
Clang!
A few burly figures quickly blocked their way, stopping them from attacking.
“What… what are these?”
The shocked onlookers stared at these burly figures blocking the rest of the men.
Each of these figures had a much larger build than the average man. However, they had worn a layer of thick, heavy metal armor. They moved swiftly and attacked viciously as if they had been specially trained to become emotionless killing machines.
These figures blocked all the attacks and allowed the Lou Family juniors to successfully enter the Imperial Academy.
The butler’s expression turned grim. “D*mn it! The Imperial Academy always defends its students. The forces backing it up are extremely influential. Looks like we can’t capture those juniors today. However…”
His vicious gaze landed on Lou Xiaoxiao’s body. “As long as that b*tch is here, our mission will not be considered a failure!”
