"Uh? I don't feel anything..."

Having waited a long time with no sensation, Zhu Bufan found it strange and slowly opened his eyes to see.

"Kid, to give up without even fighting, that's not good..." The moment he opened his eyes, a voice reached Zhu Bufan's ears. Obviously, this voice wasn't Yuwen Gulan's, but another person's.

Looking in that direction!

An elder appeared at some unknown time, and he was battling Yuwen Gulan.

Zhu Bufan was completely puzzled. Did I miss something?

"Brother Zhu..." At that moment, someone patted Zhu Bufan on the back.

"Hmm?" Zhu Bufan turned around to look.

"Brother Zhu, do you still remember me!" Wang Guozhang spoke to Zhu Bufan with a smiling face.

"Oh? You are..." Zhu Bufan instantly remembered who it was. Isn't this the middle-aged man I saved on the airplane? How come? The third major family in the Capital City, it seems it's not simple!

"Exactly, Brother Zhu, unexpected, isn't it! A young and talented hero..." Wang Guozhang praised.

"Too kind, Brother Wang, was it you who helped me?" Zhu Bufan inquired.

"Yes!" Wang Guozhang nodded in acknowledgment.

"Thank you!!!" Zhu Bufan expressed his gratitude to Wang Guozhang; if it wasn't for this member of the Wang Family acting, he would probably be off to meet King Yan by now.

"Actually, I really admire Brother Zhu, for having courage and strength. Ordinary people wouldn't dare cause such a scene in the Yuwen Family. I originally thought Brother Zhu would ask for my help, but you never did till the end, showing you truly have the spirit, Brother Zhu, I definitely consider you a friend now…" Wang Guozhang said.

Just as Wang Guozhang mentioned, Zhu Bufan did see Wang Guozhang here, and also learned of his background from his senior fellow apprentice. However, Zhu Bufan never thought of seeking Wang Guozhang's help, even when his life hung by a thread, nor did he ask for help from Dongfang Weimei.

Because Zhu Bufan deeply understood that though these families seem uninvolved and conflict-free, any interference would absolutely lead to major conflicts.

Zhu Bufan didn't want to bring trouble to Dongfang Weimei. At the same time, he didn't really know what Wang Guozhang was like; after all, he had only saved him. Asking for help too readily could lead to unnecessary troubles, wouldn't that be inviting trouble?

This place isn't Tianhai City!

In Tianhai City, Zhu Bufan could guarantee that those he called upon were completely reliable, but here, he wasn't sure. Moreover, Zhu Bufan didn't want to bring trouble to Wang Guozhang since Zhu Bufan wasn't that kind of person.

"Why would you want to help that kid, could it be that person was specifically sent by your Wang Family?" As Yuwen Gulan saw he was about to kill Zhu Bufan, a Wang Family elder suddenly intervened. Yuwen Gulan was furious.

Yet, he couldn't completely fall out with the Wang Family, since it was the third major family in the Capital City, not a family ordinary families could provoke.

Even though the Yuwen Family now had the confidence to be promoted to a first-class family, their ranking could only be fifth at most, barely fourth.

With such strength, how could they dare compare with the top three major families in the Capital City?

So, Yuwen Gulan fought a few moves against this elder of the Wang Family and then stopped his attack!

"He is a friend of our young master, and our young master is determined to protect him. I am helpless in this matter. I hope Yuwen Gulan can look past this for the sake of our young master's face and let that young man go! Otherwise, it would place our Wang Family in a difficult position," said the elder of the Wang Family.

Hearing the elder of the Wang Family speak like this, Yuwen Gulan's old face became extremely gloomy and furious, igniting endless rage in his heart.

He glared fiercely at Zhu Bufan.

It was like a warning, and it also seemed like he was issuing a deadly Killing Intent. However, it was clear that Yuwen Gulan was in a dilemma; his lack of an immediate response to the elder of the Wang Family indicated the internal struggle in his heart.

Yuwen Gulan was indeed in quite a dilemma, contemplating the balancing of interests this time.

His own grandson was killed by Zhu Bufan; his hatred for Zhu Bufan had reached the point where he felt compelled to kill him. Yet, if he truly disregarded everything to slay Zhu Bufan, it might be possible since it was on Yuwen Family's territory after all.

The Yuwen Family did not just have him as the only powerhouse at the Late Stage peak. The reason Yuwen Gulan added a phrase when sending out the wedding invitations previously was to indicate that the Yuwen Family was ready to proclaim entering the sphere of top-tier families.

That meant that the Yuwen Family had the strength to vie with those top-tier families.

Yuwen Gulan originally planned to announce it after the completion of his grandson's wedding ceremony.

However, who would have thought that on the way, a youngster like Zhu Bufan would appear, and this youngster turned out to be quite formidable.

Yuwen Gulan indeed miscalculated.

To be honest, even if the Yuwen Family forcefully upgraded to a top-tier family, those grand families that arrived wouldn't dare to confront them openly.

Because in the political mire of the Capital City, many families are interconnected; disturbing one part may impact the whole. So there would certainly be no troublemakers.

It would be outrageous only if someone stood up in opposition.

But now, this person who suddenly emerged and killed his grandson, to this point, Yuwen Gulan still didn't know which family he belonged to. Even more infuriating was the fact that Zhu Bufan cunningly made his grandson personally reject the marriage, and Zhu Bufan found just the reason, claiming his grandson stole his girlfriend.

Yuwen Gulan was nearly fuming with rage.

But if this matter were just let go, Yuwen Gulan would lose too much face.

"The face of your Wang Family, I will give respect to, but as for today's matter, my grandson has already died. If that youngster cannot provide evidence that my grandson stole his girlfriend, then this matter will definitely not end so simply..." Yuwen Gulan said through gritted teeth.

One could imagine how furious Yuwen Gulan was.

The elder of the Wang Family was very embarrassed and worried, although he had already acted according to his young master's orders, he felt insecure.

After all, this was in the Yuwen Family's territory. If they really tore off pretenses, his own young master, he himself might not even be able to protect.

Though many families present didn't wish for the Yuwen Family to reach the level of a top-tier family, if the Wang Family and the Yuwen Family really went at it irreconcilably, they would only spectate.

And his own family's people couldn't arrive quickly here either.

So, the elder of the Wang Family was momentarily undecided. He looked towards Wang Guozhang!
